Chapter 102:

Beilu Academy is located in Yunzhong Mountain, Futian Township, Taiyuan Prefecture.
The gate of the academy is at the foot of the mountain. It is said to be the gate. In fact, it is just a strange stone with a height of three, on which the large characters of Beilu Academy are written.
The right back of Dashi is conveniently a step-by-step bluestone staircase, which winds up and down the road. It is said that the academy is at the end.
Xue Tingyan had gone for almost half a quarter of an hour, and had not yet reached the end. Fortunately, the scenery on both sides of this road is beautiful, and you will not feel bored when you walk around.
He remembered some things that happened when he left Yuqing Village before-
In fact, he had told Zhao'er about this matter before, and the two of them had some trouble. According to Xue Tingyan's wish, he wanted Zhao'er to go to Taiyuan with himself, but Zhao'er didn't want to.
Without him, one can't let go of the business at home, and the other can't worry about the second sister.
Zhao Di is now pregnant, and his body is just a little bit better. According to Zhao'er's thoughts, it was natural to see the baby's nephew being born before I felt calm in my heart. For a variety of reasons, she naturally did not want to go to Taiyuan with Xue Tingyan.
However, Zhao'er has never been screwed up with Xue Tingyan, but justified it.
She cited all her embarrassments, and said that Xue Tingyan went to Beilu Academy this time to prepare for the August Township Examination. It took only a few months for the Communist Party.
Besides, what did she do? Xue Tingyan read books, did she keep pestering to watch him reading, not to mention that she would never let her into a woman in the college.
In fact, Zhao Er said that it was not unreasonable, but Xue Tingyan was somewhat emotionally unacceptable. She wouldn't be unwilling to agree with herself, because he had exhausted all his efforts, and she is still so heartless and heartless.
Xue Tingyan felt that he must have done more in his dreams before this would happen. All afternoon, he didn't talk to Zhao'er, and it was unpleasant to show it.
Zhao Er felt very helpless and guilty about this. At night, he deliberately made a delicious table to bribe him.
It is a pity that Xue Tingyan is not a child now, nor is it possible to buy the three melons and two dates, with little effect.
After dinner, Zhao Er checked Xue Tingyan's bag. This trip is different from others. It takes only a few months to go.
He was busy here, and his face was dark. At the end, Zhao'er couldn't persevere himself and could only come to him.
"Are you still angry? You are all talents. Why are you still so stingy?"
He is a talented man, can't he be stingy?
"Shy guy, shy, with a flesh on his face." Zhaoer looked at him, and embarrassed him.
Heizi also squatted under the kang and looked at him with a pair of dogs.
Looking at this man and a dog, Xue Tingyan was speechless. He hated his teeth, and he grabbed Zhaoer and put it in his arms, biting and pinching.
"Your little conscience!"
Zhaoer cleared his throat: "I'm not small, I am older than you, it should be big and unconscientious." She smiled and seemed to be teasing.
Xue Tingyan bit her mouth bitterly: "Whether you have a big conscience or a small conscience, in short it has no conscience!"
Zhaoer reached out and pushed him: "You have done it, you are not a black man, why do you always like to bite."
Heizi heard it, and stretched his head against Xue Tingyan's leg with his nose.
"I like to bite you, bite you together, eat it in your stomach and take it away." Xue Tingyan said as he pushed the Heizi's dog face away.
Zhaoer sipped: "It's scary."
Xue Tingyan ignored her, biting and kissing.
After a while, Zhaoer pushed him away.
She propped her arms up and supported herself: "Okay, this will not work. When you start the exam, I will go to Taiyuan to find you."
Xue Tinglan sneered at her: "You are coaxing me again, the second sister happened to be born in August, can you come to Taiyuan?"
Zhaoer's face was embarrassed, she hadn't thought about it yet. However, he must not be short of breath, so he straightened up and said: "You start the exam on the 9th day of August. You will take three exams, three days each, and when the last one comes out, it will be 18.
"Really?"
"of course it's true!"
Xue Tingyan hummed, even if it wasn't true, he wouldn't be able to take her by then, and he couldn't come back and arrest her. In fact, he didn't even think about it, that is, he was uncomfortable, and she had to coax with her to be comfortable.
"Always say that you coax me, let me see that I coax you. I grew up coaxing you as a child, and coaxing you as a husband, you have to coax."
To put it this way, Xue Tingyan made a big blush.
However, after he had always been cheeky, no one else could see it, and finally he looked at Zhao Er, who was guilty of heart at this moment, and naturally wanted to seek some benefits for himself.
"Then you don't have to go, but you have to promise me something."
"What's the matter?"
"I'll let you do tonight, you have to do."
Zhaoer didn't think about the benefits subconsciously, but he thought he was going to leave. This is just a few months away. I don't know if I can eat enough to eat outside or warm to wear. .
"That line, but if you go too far, I can't promise you."
Afterwards Xue Tingyan really went too far, but at this time Zhaoer wanted to regret it too long. He just pulled her and tried what he had tried before, but he tried it again and again.
For this reason, when he got up the next morning, Zhaoer ignored him. It was still about to leave, and the two people said a few words.
From Xia County to Taiyuan, the road is not difficult to go. First, take a car to Jiangzhou, then take a boat from Jiangzhou's ferry, and meander along the Fen River all the way down to Taiyuan.
Xue Tingyan walked before this road, which is considered to be easy, that is, he went out alone, the safety of the road needs to be considered, you must follow the convoy, or hire a dartsman to yourself.
Xue Tingyan followed a caravan that was going to Taiyuan. The caravan was looking for a good one in advance, and it was considered to be rooted. When the caravan of the caravan came out of Xia County, it was stopped.
People from the Shen family.
Shen Fu still intends to send someone to Xue Tingyan, knowing that he will leave Xia County today, so he will wait outside the city gate.
The Shen family is known in Xia County and even in Pingyang. The carriage of this road carrying the emblem of the Shen family, the team naturally dare not move forward easily.
"Mr. Xue, this is a program specially prepared for you by my son. I also wish you a smooth journey and fame."
A man dressed as a servant presented a brocade box. Xue Tingyan did not refuse, and took it over: "Help me thank your son."
The servant paid another salute, so he planned to get on the bus and leave. He had just got on the bus, and was suddenly stopped by Xue Tingyan, and immediately got out of the car.
"What else do you want?"
Xue Tingyan didn't speak, and took a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the servant.
"Leave it to your three sons."
The servant was also a shrewd man, nodded and saluted immediately before leaving.
Xue Tingyan shook his head, and then looked at the chariots: "Why don't you go yet?"
The horse-riders did not dare to sloppy, and hurriedly whistled to move the convoy.
Before, the young scholar came to Taiyuan together, and the coaches often took this kind of business. As long as the other party paid, there was nothing to say and nothing serious. Now it seems that the real person is unrevealing, but the people of the Shen family are so respectful that they are not ordinary people at first glance.
With this idea in mind, Xue Tingyan is excellent all the way, and I don't need to elaborate here.
...
On the other end, Shen Fu got the note that Xue Tingyan gave him.
Spread it out, there are two big words on it, the sea ban.
The two characters are written as dragons and phoenixes, which is extraordinary, but the meaning of the word made Shen Fu wonder and wonder.
Suddenly, his eyes lighted up, and then went out again.
If Xue Tingyan is right, the term sea ban has no deep meaning, it means literally.
Shen Fu, as the Shen family, naturally knew something that ordinary people did not know. As early as the Taizu period, the pirates who had disappeared in the previous dynasty revived again. . It is also true that this group of pirates was too cunning, the court attached importance to it, and disappeared immediately. After the limelight passed, it came out to be evil again.
Of course, this is on the bright side, but in fact, anyone who can have some influence in the Chaotang will know that this is just a means for the rich merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to roll against each other.
Since the founding of the dynasty, Dachang has implemented a no-sea policy. It is obviously prohibited, but the smuggling of private sea merchants is repeatedly prohibited.
This smuggling is basically a shameless business, and it can still do well under the prohibition of the Ming Dynasty, indicating that there must be a high-powered person behind it. Maritime trade has always been extremely profitable, and all merchants along the coast know it. It was forbidden by the court. If you did n’t do it, you did n’t do it. But you were banned, but others earned a lot. Naturally, someone would be jealous.
So this so-called sea pirate is just some means used by some businessmen to collude with others in order to force the court to open the sea. Of course, it was also to protect yourself. While the pirates were looting, a large amount of goods flowed into and out of Dachang.
These things are very well known to the ancestors. Although the Jin people were driven out of the customs, they never gave up. The battle around Bianguan was tight, but the court had little money, so Taizu had always wanted to open a sea ban, but it had always been blocked by the court officials.
To know that Taizu was successful in the past, it was originally a combination of multiple forces. A large part of these are the rich merchants in Jiangnan. In the south of the Yangtze River, the style of writing flourished. Since the beginning of the dynasty, there were more officials in the south than in the north, and they almost occupied half of the court.
This situation has followed Dachang, but it is more than that.
If the maritime trade is really started, it would be the job of many people. And there are countless intertwined forces behind the wealthy businessmen, even if the status is as high as a monarch, they dare not easily act rashly.
After the great ancestor collapsed, the Jiacheng Emperor ascended the throne. This emperor, who inherited the rugged and rugged appearance of his dear father, but had a deep thought, embarked on the throne and showed a different way of doing things. The courtiers were suppressed and obedient.
Of course, this is still superficial. In fact, the situation that the emperor has not been the master has not changed.
Emperor Jiacheng has only been on the throne for six years. So far, he has always trusted Wu Ge Lao, and never mentioned the matter of sea ban again. Could it be said that Sheng Sheng also had this thought?
If it is true, he will always be opposite to Wu Ge.
We must know that with the rise of Wu Ge, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River has long been rewritten. The Wu family, which had been divided into small peaces, has now held a leading position in the local area. It is impossible for the Wu family to avoid smuggling and smuggling. That is to say, Wu Ge Lao will walk on the opposite side of Jia Cheng Emperor sooner or later, and in order to suppress Wu Ge Lao, the veteran servant of power, he must inevitably set up another one.
And this object cannot naturally be a Southern official, it should be the North or the West. In short, either side can never be a Southern official, but the Shen family is Shanxi, and even has some personal grievances with the Wu family.
So who is she?
That is to say, if Xue Tingyan's words were true, the Shen family didn't need to do anything, but only waited for stability and stability to enter the cabinet. No matter how powerful the Patriarch Wu is, the emperor's arrangement of a minister into the cabinet is not impossible.
For a time, Shen Fu cold sweated, shaking the hand holding the note. The heart keeps falling, there is no margin.
He thought in his heart that Xue Tingyan was just a country boy. How could it be possible to understand the essence, view the overall situation, and draw such a conclusion.
Even if it is him, the reason why he can analyze these is because he has been trained by the Shen family as the next generation since he was a child, so he knows many things that the Shen family does not know.
Why does he know that he is just a country boy, maybe he has not been able to cross Shanxi in his life!
No matter how much he denies, Shen Fu still has a panic in his heart. There is a voice constantly telling him that Xue Tingyan is true.
Even if it's true, it's a little late. Suran has already dealt with it, and the marriage between the Wu and Shen has been put on the agenda. Even if the marriage was called out at this time, if the Emperor Jiacheng really had that thought, he might have been paying close attention to these, that is to say, the thought of lowering his head from the Shen family was actually crossed out on the list of Jiacheng Emperor.
By this time, Shen Fu even regretted why he sent someone to send the Chengyi.
This is nothing but a curiosity of his personal curiosity, wondering exactly what Xue Tingyan said.
In fact, no matter what Xue Tingyan said, he could not obstruct anything. He was just curious, and a consistent means of solicitation, to show the other party that that incident did not affect the Shen family's preference for Xue Tingyan himself, who would have come to such a result.
Shen Fu even wondered whether this matter should be handed over to the capital. If the uncle knew, what would be the reaction, or other people in the Shen family would know, how to ...
He wondered whether Xue Tingyan was intentional. If he didn't say it, he had to ask the Shen family to come to the door to make such a thing ...
But thinking about everything is his own business, and has nothing to do with Xue Tingyan.
...
Seeing the scenery all the way, thinking about his thoughts all the way, Xue Tingyan finally reached the mountainside.
He was a little tired, but his bones were too weak, but he climbed the mountain for a while and was so exhausted.
There is a building in front of us, whether it is from the gate or the whole, it seems to be no different from the ordinary college. The only difference is probably that the academy was built in the middle of the mountain, and then larger than the ordinary academy.
On the black tung oil gate, a plaque hangs, and a few large characters are written on it-Beilu Academy.
Finally got to the place.
He exhaled slowly, and he sorted out his clothes and moved forward.
Just then, the corner door on the side opened and several people came out from inside.
"Ha, Ting Yan, you are finally here." It was Mao Badou and the three men.
