Chapter 23 There is a house in the capital, and Chunwei enters the house

The examination is approaching, and Feng Yibo is among the latest to arrive.

Duzhong Inn is already overcrowded, and most of the rental houses have been rented out.

Most of the remaining ones are in remote locations and the asking prices are extremely high.

All in all, it's a place where you can sharpen your knives.

Feng Yibo is not afraid of the high price, mainly because he doesn't like it.

The master and servant temporarily found an inn to stay outside the city.

The next day, I chartered a carriage and went to Duzhong to view houses.

Although he has not finished disposing of the treasures from the Japanese war, he can still be considered wealthy.

Now there is no purchase limit in Duzhong.

Who can resist the temptation to be a Celestial Dragon?

But if you have money, you will inevitably be picky when looking at a house.

He doesn't like it if it's too eccentric, and he finds it too small if it's in a good location.

Yaxing spent the whole day struggling with him, and finally found a place that suited his needs.

It is a three-entry mansion located in Yangzhou Hutong, Mingshifang.

Most of the facilities in the courtyard are in good condition, and you can tell at a glance that someone is doing daily maintenance.

Especially the three main rooms are all newly furnished.

In addition to checking in with your bags, there is another thing that Feng Yibo likes the most.

That is, it is very close to Gongyuan, where the examination is held.

You don't even need to take a car after leaving the main entrance. You only need to have a cup of tea and walk to Gongyuan.

Overall, although it is much worse than the old house in Jinling, it is definitely at the middle level in the capital.

And speaking of it, this house has something to do with Feng Yibo.

The wave of Japanese pirates robbed the south of the Yangtze River for several months. Although they were finally wiped out by him, the impact they caused was not over.

The Japanese pirates have arrived in Nanjing!

When news of this happened to the capital, the government and the public were naturally shocked.

Now the Holy Emperor Long Yan was furious and ordered to discuss severe measures.

And this house was a residence in the capital of Nanjing, owned by Yang Siming, the official of the Nanjing Ministry of War and the arsenal official.

Now the Nanjing Military Department, as well as the various state capitals where the Japanese pirates were plundering, and those with some background, all sent people to move around the capital.

If this were not the case, the solution might have been taken care of long ago.

Yang Siming has had people working for him, and he has even begun to sell off his property in Duzhong.

Just to protect themselves in this uproar.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to buy a house in this location with money alone.

Feng Yibo spent twelve thousand taels of silver to win it.

Although the other party was anxious, there was still a huge premium.

There is nothing we can do about this.

When the other manager heard that he was just a judge, he immediately opened his mouth.

If you want to buy it, just buy it, if you don't want to buy it, forget it.

Anyone who can speak on this matter would probably give it half for sale and half for free, which would cost a hundred and eighty taels.

In this way, even if it is discovered in the future, it will not be considered a bribe.

After all, many houses nearby are about the same price.

Of course, ordinary people can't buy it.

This is the class gap in ancient times, and a hundred times the money may not be able to make up for it.

It's a coincidence.

The day after Feng Yibo bought the house, the pending disposal was finalized.

Zhang Dongsha, the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and Chen Yishui, the minister of the Ministry of War, were both dismissed from office and returned to their hometowns.

The governors of various states along the way who were robbed by Japanese pirates also dealt with them one by one according to their merits and demerits.

In the end, one person, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and one person, the Minister of the Ministry of War, were punished.

There are three magistrates, one each is the prefectural magistrate, the prefectural magistrate and the prefectural governor.

There are three county magistrates and one county magistrate.

There are more than 40 generals in the army.

A total of 58 civil and military officials were punished.

This shocked the entire Jiangnan officialdom, and it can be seen that the DPRK and the Central Government were furious about this.

At the same time, it was just as Feng Yibo and Liu Zhao had guessed.

For some it is a disaster, but for others it is a great opportunity.

With so many positions vacated at once, there was an undercurrent in both the government and the public.

The most eye-catching event in the past, not many people paid attention to it for a while.

These things have not affected Feng Yibo yet.

After he settled down, he began to prepare for the exam.

I received a lot of advice from Jia Yucun along the way, and I still need to digest it.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the eighth day of February.

This is the time to enter the first session of the trial.

Feng Yibo has been in this world for eighteen years and has never stopped studying hard.

Now is the time to test the results.

Since I live close by, I'm not in a hurry.

Feng Yibo spent most of the day recuperating at home and went out leisurely in the afternoon.

When we arrived at the gate of Gongyuan, there were already hundreds of people lining up.

After waiting in line for an hour, it was his turn.

Then the items were inspected, and the person was searched and released.

The whole journey took a long time, but there were no surprises.

Taking a deep breath, Feng Yibo strode into the Gongyuan.

Inside the Gongyuan are small cubicles called test rooms.

Feng Yibo followed the number plate to his room.

There is no bias here, neither good nor bad.

I will spend the next few days here.

He first took out a thick curtain from the ceremony.

I found another hammer.

There is no door to the exam. If there is no curtain to protect you from the wind and rain, you are waiting to suffer.

Although it is spring now, the frost has only just thawed in the north.

The temperature is about 5-15 degrees, which is still very cold.

If the weather is bad, subzero temperatures are common.

After nailing the curtain, Feng Yibo took out two small iron stoves.

There were actually some for sale in Duzhong, but he still found a blacksmith to make two of them.

One is a heater with a smoke exhaust pipe, which can prevent smoke poisoning.

Of course, the main thing here is to avoid smoke and affect the exam status.

There is also a rocket stove, which is used to make fire for cooking and boiling water for tea.

You need to prepare these yourself.

Skillfully assembled the stove and placed it in the examination hall.

Then take out the charcoal and fire sickle.
