The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 68 Low-key luxury
Huang Sheng made up his mind to enter the capital in a low-key manner, not to run for an official position, but to earn money.

Although he is a small eighth-rank official, he is also an official in office, and he is not allowed to come to the capital to wander around without receiving a call from the Ministry of Officials.

Therefore, he can only appear as a guard of Guangning in Liaodong, and even if he is killed, he cannot say that he is the eighth-rank General Zanhua under the command of Liaodong Jinglue.

Since Huang Sheng would leave Huangjiashan Island to go to the imperial capital in a few days, he took the time to arrange a culture test and a military competition. After the test, it was found that everyone had made great progress.

Huang Sheng held a meeting to praise the progress, especially Hei Hu. Since he became the chief banner officer, this kid has the consciousness to be a leader. Whenever he has time, he practices archery, reading and writing. The concubine waited on him, and the family of three studied hard together.

Hei Hu actually passed the exam this time. It is very meaningful for him to pass the exam, which shows that the Huang family's education is successful.

His cultural achievements are not worth mentioning compared to many people, not even as good as his two concubines, but Hei Hu got the highest award, a gift box of soap.

Heihu was overjoyed, the adults had already rewarded him with one, but he was so embarrassed. This thing is liked by women, and there are two women in his family that he loves. This kid is not stupid and has a trick.

He hid the box, and only asked the two concubines to pick out two pieces of soap. Sure enough, the two women were very happy, and they were so fragrant that he kissed and hugged them.

Unexpectedly, the two women in Li Dagang's family had an awkward dispute, and they didn't know if it was because of the gift box of soap. Her women asked him when they came back from being a peacemaker.

Why does Li Dagang have a beautiful box for soap in his home, why is his master holding it in his hand and coming back....

Heihu doesn't like to lie, he hesitates and can't explain why, the two concubines are very virtuous, seeing that their patriarch seems to be having a hard time opening their mouths, they don't ask any more questions.

Huang Sheng didn't know there was such a small story, and gave some items as rewards to other outstanding students in study and training, and personally beat the laggards, not with army sticks, of course, but with bamboo sticks.

There is a person who has the worst grades but is praised without being beaten. That person is the Black Panther.

Now he can stammer and speak a few blunt Chinese, and can write ten Chinese characters.Already barely able to understand some vocabulary, knowing that adults are saying that he is very good, he keeps giggling.

Huang Sheng gave everyone the last lesson in February, and encouraged everyone to continue to study hard and practice hard for a month before taking the test.

At night, Huang Mingli and Huang Mingdao were called to teach them the opportunity to let them melt the ice on the sea surface. Once they found that Juehua Island and Ningyuan started to communicate with each other, they immediately went to Master Mao Yuanyi to report their merits.

A lot of material losses must be reported, especially the battle damage of the three sea ships, and the death of 36 Ming troops and ten family members.

Go to the Ming army stationed in Ningyuan to poach the wall, and recruit some good men from the Ming army who are outstanding in fighting against Jiannu and have a deep hatred to come to the Huang family to be servants.

The two brothers were overjoyed, recruiting soldiers and buying horses is of course great, if they can get together a warrior who can land and fight in the Baizong, he will be the Baizong that is well-deserved.Xiao Jiujiu had already figured it out in their hearts.

This time, all the military officers will be promoted by at least two ranks. They have the grade from the fifth grade to the thousand households, and they should be able to be awarded the hundred generals.

Huang Sheng looked at their happy faces and worried that they would lower the recruitment standards for the sake of quantity, and told them to prefer shortages to excesses. Our team is all guerrilla fighters, and personal skills, unity and courage to fight are indispensable.

The two had followed the Patriarch through life and death many times. After several actual battles, they had already understood the true meaning of guerrilla warfare. They patted their chests and assured that as long as they poached Liaodong soldiers, adults would definitely like them.

Everything at home was properly arranged, and Huang Sheng began to think about who to take to the capital with him. Hexiang was his little tail, so he had to take it with him.After this exam, it was found that the teaching staff was obviously insufficient, and he left with He Xiang, which made him even more stretched.

Cao Yueqin and Li Juan can be literacy teachers, and Huang Mingli and Huang Mingdao can also help, and they can't relax the education of these loyal servants.

To cultivate these people into usable people, knowledge is the first element, and literacy is the starting point, so they are required to write silently every day, so that they can read books by themselves as soon as possible.

In the back hall of the inner courtyard, Huang Sheng arranged for the candidates to go to the capital this time.Zhao Rui, who stayed at home, was told not to be merciful, but to beat up the servant who has not yet mastered a hundred Chinese characters.

Encourage Cao Yueqin and Li Juan, let them not be afraid that they can't do it, just find a way to make the characters in the textbooks understandable, familiar, and able to write.

Qiaozhen and Laifeng were the most excited, because the master praised them both during the meeting, and this time their test scores were outstanding, and they had changed from illiterate to semi-literate. Although there were many circles drawn in a [-]-word composition, Huang Sheng still understood.

This time the master will take them to the capital to help with work, the two women are already at a loss, what should the capital look like?Never thought I would have the opportunity to see it in my life!

There is not much money left in the family.The considerate housekeeper Zhao Rui knew that the capital was a place of high consumption, but he didn't want to make the master too shabby, so he put all the family's money into He Xiangdai, probably less than 600 taels.

The cash flow of the Huang family is so much, it is still poor!If you don't want to find a way to do business and talk about development, eating meat and rice is wishful thinking.

Huang Sheng and his party set off at the end of February. Everyone knew that your lordship was going to the imperial capital at the foot of the emperor, not to fight, so they all happily came to see him off.

An ordinary scholar can't take too many servants with him when he travels. This time, he brought Li Dagang, Han Kuan, Cheng Quangong and two coachmen, including himself, a total of nine people to the capital.

When I arrived at the destination, I didn't dare to drive the warship 'Guangning' directly to Tianjin Wei Wharf. Instead, I changed the horse boat to the port and docked in the open sea. Master Huang, who is cautious, avoids unnecessary troubles, 'Guangning No. 'It's too eye-catching, it's not good to be targeted by others, low-key is king.

The sailor and the servant who saw him off finished assembling Huang Sheng's car, a low-key and luxurious carriage, and went back after careful inspection.

Huang Sheng and them made an appointment to leave a message at an inn near the pier, where the ships passed letters, and brought the three luxury carriages that had been completed when they came here next time.

This trip to the capital is a newcomer, his eyes are darkened, and he doesn't even have a foothold. These three cars are too eye-catching, and they are all eye-catching when covered with black cloth, so they can't be taken to the capital rashly.

Huang Sheng is going to buy a house in the capital first and settle down. At least he has a place to store his goods. With Qiaozhen and Laifeng, he is planning to settle down in the capital and let the two of them be the hostesses here.

A big, weird and dark carriage, three knights, two coachmen, He Xiang, Qiaozhen and Laifeng were sitting in the carriage, and there was a person lying down, of course Huang Sheng.

It was the first time for the three women to ride a carriage produced by the Huang family. They were both excited and curious, especially Hexiang. She used to serve Miss He's family and often took the carriage to offer incense in the temple, so she was very familiar with the carriage.

At this moment, she is like Grandma Liu who has entered the Grand View Garden. Before she got in the car, she thought the car was too big. Unfortunately, it was too ugly, but when she got inside, she found it luxurious and grand. This is Huang Sheng's tailor-made low-key car. luxurious.
