Chapter 115 Two Scholars

Now that important people like Jiang Shang have started to change their fortunes, Nan Xiucai and Huang Xiucai will naturally not be left behind.

After "Operation Li Kui", the time-traveling forces successfully "created" a Juren "Master Huang" in Hangzhou.

But the real scholar Huang Ping and the scholar Nanwang who built the bridge between them were actually put under house arrest after Qiuwei.

Since Huang Ping and Huang Xiucai suffered from cold and fever, not to mention Qiu Wei, he almost lost his life.Thanks to the excellent medical skills of "Master Miaoshu" in Tangzhuang, Huang Xiucai was able to fight against the serious illness. In short, his condition fluctuated from good to bad, and he could not stand the wind. After that, Huang Ping stayed in Tangzhuang to take care of his health.

When the traveler who stayed behind at Tangzhuang told Huang Ping not long ago that he had better go to Master Miaoshu with the boat as a tent to ask for some more medicines, Huang Ping had no choice but to agree.

The matter of Qiu Wei has been given up, and Huang Xiucai has been recuperating in Tangzhuang for many days. He has not paid a penny for eating and drinking soup and medicine, relying on the face of his friend Nan Xiucai. There is really not much room for rejection.

Nan Xiucai is more relaxed here.

Immediately after seeing the Guibang, Nan Xiucai inferred the content of "Li Kui's Action" in all directions.Even if there are still a few joints that have not been figured out, Nan Wang already has a clear understanding of the matter: Zuo is just a trick of pretending to be a pseudonym.

Immediately afterwards, Nanwang understood his family's current situation: this group of maritime merchants made such a big move to promote Mr. Huang to the position, the plan must be not shallow, and they will definitely not let this matter go wrong, so from now on, my family will stay honestly in Tangzhuang Houchuan better.

Nan Xiucai, who is well-informed and knowledgeable, did not have a difficult life in Tangzhuang Houchuan.He won't fall ill suddenly, and he won't be drowned. On the contrary, all living expenses are of the same grade as those girls bought in the back house.

Except for the back garden, other places in Tangzhuang do not restrict the entry and exit of scholars. Nan Wang writes and draws every day, and chats with the sailors from time to time. He actually has a general understanding of the actions of the crossing people overseas.

Liu Niang, who has gradually grown pregnant, has also tasted the benefits of later generations of medicine—this is very rare. After the young master of the Liu family came back from the gate of hell, the thaumaturgy and strange medicine of the strange monk in the Western Regions, Master Miaoshu, were used by the servants of the Liu family as talking points. It was spread out.Afterwards, the rich family came to Liu's house to inquire. If it weren't for the excuse that the master went out to travel, it is estimated that there would be a queue at the gate of Tangzhuang to register for the expert account.

Nan Xiucai knew what was going on with Huang Ping's illness, and he had slowly grasped the pulse of this group of sea merchants: Those who follow me prosper, those who go against me perish, they are very strong and have no scruples.

So when the owner told him that he would be able to board the ship and go to sea soon, he was still a little excited: the original plan to go to Guangnan to find friends was just a stopgap measure under urgency. A native of the Ming Dynasty who has a good understanding of the hidden strength of the traveler.These people are highly skilled in medicine and tyrannical in force. They seem to be dormant now, but they have great ambitions. They are definitely not ordinary pirates who rob houses. Going out to sea to see the foundation laid by these strong men is also a way to take shelter here?
The above is the mental journey of the two scholars before they came to Dayuan.

After arriving at Dayuan that day, Nan Xiucai also experienced a little bit of trouble: Liu Niang, who had a big belly and wore a veil in a bamboo hat, once aroused onlookers after getting off the boat, and the crowd dispersed after a leader shouted angrily. go
That night, in a small room in the Dayuan Commercial Building, there was a glazed copper lamp with no oil and no smoke, but emitting bright white light, which surprised the two scholars who were greeted.

It was a very peaceful middle-aged man who greeted the two of them.This person introduced himself as Dai Yun, wearing a double-breasted jacket with iron wire teeth instead of cloth buttons. Nan Xiucai knew it was called a "jacket".

Dai Yun's appearance was plain, and he belonged to the kind who would not pay attention after passing by, and his conversation during the dinner was casual and peaceful, without showing any sharpness.But Nan Xiucai, who is familiar with the ways of the world, dare not underestimate this person: both his family and Huang Ping have troubles, and the Mr. Dai who came forward is not that simple.

After a simple and low-key reception, the two scholars, accompanied by Dai Yun, toured around the existing small territory of the crossing forces on the second day; The new regime will soon be established here.

After seeing those roaring iron beasts and the rows of red 95 bricks in the brick factory, the two scholars went back with a heavy heart.

On the third day, the two scholars got an appointment with Dai Yun respectively.

Nan Wang's premonition was quite effective: after meeting this time, Dai Yun told him directly that he was entrusted by "President Xia" to prepare an intelligence agency to defend the new regime, and asked Nan Xiucai if he was interested in joining.

Nan Wang had met "President Xia" more than once, and knew that Mr. Xia was the leader of this gang; as for the "intelligence agency", seeing Nan Wang was a little confused, Dai Yun explained understandingly: it was "Jinyiwei Town Fusi".

Although Nan Wang had already made some mental preparations before coming here, when he first heard such a terrifying job introduction, he still waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly, and he almost couldn't do it by calling a concubine.

Dai Yun chuckled, signaling to Nan Xiucai not to panic, and then told him: Even if you don't want to come, you don't have to force it. The new regime is a waste of time, and no matter how bad it is, there will be a job like accountant and book office, etc. Look at Mr. Nan, he won't let him sit idle.

Next, Dai Yun felt a little confided.He first made a brief evaluation of Nan Xiucai's series of performances in Li Kui's actions, and then told Nan Wang that after the evaluation: Nan Xianggong is calm in situations, knows how to assess the situation, has the right to change things, and is willing to accept new things. All walks of life have understanding, which is really good material for intelligence work.

As for the fact that in the evaluation report, Nanwang had a faint hatred for the Ming Dynasty's elite because he couldn't find a way to go up, Dai Yun didn't mention it at the moment.

After Nan Xianggong went through the initial panic, seeing Dai Yun's gentle smile and hearing others' pertinent evaluation of him, he also felt that he had overreacted just now, and now he said a little embarrassingly: I'm just a weak scholar, I'm afraid I can't do this It's a desperate business.

Dai Yun laughed loudly when he heard the sound, and then told Mr. Nan that his understanding of the intelligence industry was biased: he went in and out of rich houses and markets, communicated with the three religions and nine streams, and collected some public information. These were basically all of his work. There is no big difference in guest work.

Even if there is a need to do "wet work", it is not the turn of a "public" figure like Nan Wang to do it. You must know that it is much easier to train a killer than Nan Wang.

At the end of the conversation, Dai Yun left two paths for Nan Xianggong: one is to join the intelligence system, this path suits his own conditions, and he will be promoted quickly. In the future, he will have the opportunity to grasp the rights that he will never pursue in Daming. Personal friendly recommendation.

The second path is very ordinary: there are many positions where senior officials lack paperwork, so just go to work casually.But if you go this way, Nan Xiucai will not be able to return to Hangzhou for at least ten years, and will have to stay in Dayuan.

In the end, Dai Yun generously gave Nan Xiucai a week to consider.
