Chapter 126 125 Return

"Swish swish swish swish"

The classroom was full of students, but no one made a sound, only the sound of the pages turning.

This is Jiujiang Prefecture School. Wei Guangde was sitting inside and looking through the book "The Law of the Ming Dynasty" borrowed from the Xuefu Library.

During this period, Wei Guangde has read all the annotations of the Four Books and Five Classics in the library. With his strong memory, he really achieved twice the result with half the effort.

Now he has begun to learn the history of the Ming Dynasty. Well, then who has said that, learn from history.

To understand the history of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Constitution, formulated by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, cannot escape it.

In fact, Wei Guangde also understood it in the past, but he did not fully understand it. Many places were memorized by memorizing it in a lot of ways. This time, he re-reads the Daming Law, so he naturally needs to read it thoroughly and understand it thoroughly.

In fact, almost all scholars of this era who are interested in fame and fortune must understand the laws of the Ming Dynasty in detail, at least they must master it a little before entering the officialdom. Otherwise, you will not even have the qualification to be an official, and a simple assessment will be stopped.

The sun sets in the west and the geese fly south. It is already November. It is dark early, so the time for the public school to finish school is much earlier.

When Wei Guangde walked out of the gate of the prefecture, there were still Lao Kan, Shen Liangdong and several other students beside him.

Only those who know how to do things can see at a glance that although these students have different appearances and temperaments, they all have a distinctive feature, that is, they are all wearing high-quality Songjiang cloth.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a large amount of cotton had been planted in Songjiang Prefecture and its surrounding areas, which also promoted the prosperity and development of the textile industry in Songjiang Prefecture and surrounding counties.

"I can't buy all Songjiang cloths, and I can't collect all Weitang yarns." From this old saying, we can also tell the large output of Songjiang Mansion cotton cloth.

During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty, laws were issued to encourage cotton planting, and stipulated that Songjiang Prefecture could "sell the official" and "fresh two dou of rice with one pound of cotton."

Because of official encouragement, its development can be seen.

In the Ming Dynasty, cotton cloth was a tough currency, and food, clothing, housing and transportation were put first.

Although the times have developed to later generations, the status of clothing has dropped a lot, but the clothing stores all over the streets can also explain a lot.

Songjiang cotton cloth has excellent texture and is known as Songjiang beautiful cloth. Its texture is not only soft, but also has good water absorption. It is much higher than that of cotton cloth in other places and has become a specialty. Among them, the finest cotton cloth was shipped to Beijing as tributes.

The so-called "Su Song's wealth is half the world", among which the prosperity of the cotton textile industry played a huge role.

Songjiang has good fabrics, so they are naturally loved by the great families of all generations.

After Wei Guangde lived in Jiujiang Prefecture, he soon changed his clothes completely and used the best silk and cotton cloth to make several clothes.

As for these expenses, of course, they were not sent from Pengze, but Zhang's mansion allocated a sum of silver in advance for him to use it first.

Today is the fifteenth day again, and Wei Guangde and Lao Kan are going to go to Cuixiutang to watch the performance together.

It was not that Wei Guangde had been fascinated by the Xiangning girl, but that there were only those in the ancient entertainment industry, but there were not as many types as later generations.

If you listen to the opera, forget it, how many Chinese people in the future can watch operas and understand them.

It’s different to go to a brothel. Drink, watch the beautiful dancers singing and dancing, and play a few more money. This is the ancient nightlife.

The so-called "head hanging on the beam and thorning the thighs" and "lighting at the third and fifth sessions" are all played by poor students. If the family has no conditions, they can only get up early and go to bed late to read.

Wei Guangde's family was not in good condition, but this time, Mr. Wei and his wife seemed to have robbed a lot of money in Zhejiang. Although Zhang Hongfu told him that he could get tens of thousands of taels of silver, Wei Guangde still didn't believe it because Zhang Hongfu's recent efforts have become much bigger, and obviously the family has increased a lot of investment, so his hands have become much looser.

A few people walked through the street and met Zhang Hongfu and his group, which was also agreed before.

Originally, I didn't like these students of the prefectures who were very fond of those hereditary martial artists. It can be said that I had never had much contact with them before.

However, now there has been a change. With the existence of Wei Guangde, Lao Kan and others have been in contact with Zhang Hongfu's group, and they have gradually become friends.

Lao Kan and others have great careers but don’t care about the people in the garrison, but something will inevitably happen when walking outside. Sometimes it doesn’t work if you lean on your mouth.

Last time, when Zhang Hongfu was involved in his classmate, he finally transferred a team of soldiers from the garrison to block the people. Lao Kan and others reached a settlement with the loan shark.

There was no way, and someone was holding the loan note signed by Tong Sheng in his hand, and he still took advantage of it no matter where he went.

When a person dies, the debts are not eliminated. He still has to continue to pay off the debts. If he doesn't work, he will force him to sell his house and pay off the debts.

Of course, the loan notes do not include usury, but instead directly count the part of the high interest rate into the principal. The loan of borrowing ten taels to pay thirty taels to get thirty taels to get thirty taels to get thirty taels to get thirty taels to get thirty taels to get.

Although everyone on the street knows who that guy is, there is no evidence.

These people have little background, but there are also people in the government, and there are no way to solve the problem with the scholars such as Lao Kan, and Zhang Hongfu can only cure them.

The two groups gathered together and soon entered Cuixiutang, occupying three tables on the second floor and waiting for the opening of today's program.

"My grandpa and the others will be back in two days. You can take a leave and go to the dock together."

While eating and drinking, Zhang Hongfu said to Wei Guangde.

"I have already told the teaching before. He knew this and had agreed."

The story of the Jiujiang Guard Army going to Zhejiang to suppress the Japanese was not circulated on the street at first, and many people didn't know about it before, and it was only after winning the battle that the news gradually spread.

As for the triumphal army, there was not much knowledge in Jiujiang City at this time, but as a prefecture school, it was also a department of the government, and the news was more informative than outside.

A few days later, the already busy Jiujiang Wharf was suddenly blocked by a brigade of Jiujiang Guards. All merchant ships that docked to load and unload cargo were driven out and could only be temporarily parked far away from the wharf. The load and unloading goods placed near the wharf were also forced by the government forces to transport them to the side.

Soon, as the sedan chairs of various officials of Jiujiang Prefecture were carried out in long rows of Jiujiang Prefecture's city gates and appeared on the dock, more than a dozen officials in the sedan chairs got out of the sedan chairs one after another and gathered together to talk about something.

At this time, the Jiujiang Prefecture Wharf was already crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and everyone was looking away, and the entire wharf was noisy.

Until a fleet of ships appeared on the distant skyline, the drummers waiting on the side began to play and beat, and the soldiers arranged around them also acted together, and countless flags were raised high, instantly turning this place into a sea of ​​joy.
