Sometimes, history really has inertia.

Although the Qin peasant army suffered a fatal blow at the beginning because of Zhong Jinwei's appearance and was also severely wanted by Li Hongji, the name Li Zicheng still appeared. If Zhong Jinwei knew about this, he would be very moved.

However, the emergence of time travelers, and a large butterfly like Zhong Jinwei, is still very powerful. The wind blowing from Zhong Jinwei blows to the Jiangnan region, slowly affecting everything here.

Unlike in history, the rural examination in Jiangnan area was held in Yingtian Prefecture six months in advance. Scholars from Jiangnan set out to take the examination one after another.

Yingtian Prefecture is commonly known as Nanjing, and was called Jinling in ancient times. It was the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the capital of Nanzhili. For a while, there were many scholars in the restaurants and brothels in Nanjing. From time to time, you could hear the recitations and chanting of poems and songs in these places, and you could also talk about current affairs and political affairs.

The Qinhuai River is the most prosperous place in Jinling. There are many brothels and brothels on the riverside, with golden and pink towers lined up one after another; the boats are swaying, the sounds of the mud, the lights and shadows are gathered, and merchants gather.

In April, the willow trees sprout and the peach trees bloom. A painting boat stops on the banks of the Qinhuai River between the red and green willows.

There are several red lanterns hanging on the bow of the ship, with the word "king" on it, which reminds that this pleasure boat is owned by Wang Xiaoda, a famous prostitute in Jinling and a good friend of peace.

Wang Xiaoda is not an ordinary woman. She comes from a famous family. Because of her changing world, she has become a common person. Therefore, she is both talented and beautiful, and she is not a good person, which has attracted the attention of a group of literati and elegant scholars.

Look, the voices of scholars came from the pleasure boat from time to time, which seemed to be a review of the article.

However, when they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the shore, they hurriedly greeted the pleasure boat. It was indeed the one they were looking forward to, and quickly bowed and said, "Please invite Mr. Xi Zhang."

Mr. Xi Zhang quickly turned over and dismounted, making people see clearly. He saw that the man was so stern and handsome. His eyes shot at the cold stars, and his eyebrows were as curled as paint. No matter who saw him, he would secretly praise him.

He threw the reins directly to the accompanying servants, and then walked into the pleasure boat with a smile while bowing and saying, "Let you wait for a long time."

This person is Zhang Fu, the leader of Fushe. The four people who welcome him, Zhao Zixin, Wang Jiaying, Zhang Yi and Cai Shen, who are known as the four partners of Fushe, are all presidents of Fushe. They are Zhang Fu's capable generals and have been committed to the expansion of Fushe.

After the five people entered the pleasure boat, the pleasure boat left the shore and drove into the Qinhuai River.

Zhang Fu sat down in the main seat with a big horse and a golden sword, while the master Ma Xiaoda served him. The four mates separated from the left and right, looking at Zhang Fu. The other servants, Song Ji and others, all left the cabin.

"How are you doing?" Zhang Fu sat upright and asked as he looked at the four matchmakers on his left and right.

Zhao Zixin was the leader of the four mates, and first replied: "Mr. Hui, the students have been widely promoted for the Jinling Conference after the provincial examination. Some celebrities have also sent invitations, and most of them have agreed happily."

Zhang Fu nodded and looked at the next one.

"Mr. Hui, the number of students in the student branch has expanded to more than 200, especially in recent times, Tong Sheng has signed up to participate in our resumption of the club." Wang Jiaying replied respectfully.

"Children's test is the appeal of the rise of my resumption society, but you cannot be limited to the increase in the number of children. You should pay more attention to opening up the relationship between counties and governments so that the list we submit to them can be qualified for the student examination." After hearing Wang Jiaying's answer, Zhang Fu frowned slightly and suggested loudly.

Wang Jiaying knew in his heart that Zhang Fu was right, because as long as he passed the child examination and had a student, that is, a scholar, he could be exempted from labor service, and he would not have to kneel down to worship officials, nor would he be punished. Therefore, although he was not qualified to be an official, there were still many people who wanted to get the status of this student.

Fushe, or Yingshe, the predecessor of Fushe, took this point and then focused on controlling the children's examinations, becoming the largest society in Jiangnan in one fell swoop, and finally merged other societies to establish Fushe.

The examinations in the imperial examination era include children's examinations, provincial examinations, imperial examinations, and palace examinations. Among them, important officials of the court participated in the provincial examinations, so it was difficult to control.

Only the children's examination is the main examination of local officials, and the reunion is to use money, beauties and various relationships to buy relevant people in the local area. In addition, the people in the reunion are also capable and will give various test samples in advance for their study. Therefore, anyone who participates in the reunion has a greater chance of becoming a scholar than others.

"The students understand that the funding is not enough, so they are slightly unsatisfied in making friends with counties and governments." Wang Jiaying lowered his head and explained in a low voice.

When Zhang Fu heard this, he reached out and took out some silver notes from his sleeve, divided them into small stacks, and handed them to Wang Jiaying and said, "Funding is not a problem, but it also needs to be used to benefit, do you understand?"

Wang Jiaying immediately stood up, stretched out her hands to take the silver note from Zhang Fu respectfully, and agreed, "Please rest assured, the student understands."

Zhang Fu nodded when he heard this. He was quite at ease with Wang Jiaying's ability, so he just explained it like this and never made any moves like checking accounts.

The reason he did this was because the money was not his own, but it was paid by those salt merchants anyway.

At that time, I was so willing to distribute it. Together with my fellow villager Zhang Cai, I had a lot of trouble with many students and criticized the remnants of the eunuch party. The former chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, Gu Bingqian, who resigned from office and returned home, issued a wide range of manifestos, exposed his crimes, rushed into his mansion, ransacked his wealth, and set fire to the fire. This attracted the attention of the salt merchants and was selected as his agent.

From then on, with the money funded by the salt merchants and his own abilities, he worked hard to do something. Now, as long as the scholars from the Ming Dynasty dare to call him Mr. Xi Zhang when they see him.

However, Zhang Fu was not satisfied with this. One of his greater ambitions was to manipulate the affairs of the Ming Dynasty and be the only one who was the only one.

Zhang Fu is not a person who is used to daydreaming, because according to his plan, it is possible that he will realize it one day in a few years.

In history, he was called the "emperor" of the Ming Dynasty among the people, and even more powerful than the genuine emperor Chongzhen.

Just imagine that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were either Jinshi or Juren, while Jinshi and Juren came from students. If in that day, most of the students in the world were people in the Fushe community, then wouldn’t the Jinshi and Juren be all people in the Fushe community in a few years?

"Sir, sir?" The fourth wife of Fushe saw Zhang Fu smiled slightly, but did not respond to Zhang Yi and Cai Shen's report, so she had to call softly.

Wang Xiaoda had already been Zhang Fu's pillow. Seeing this, he knew that Zhang Fu was distracted and stretched out his slender hand to pull the corner of Zhang Fu's sleeve.

Zhang Fu was pulled by Wang Xiaoda and woke up from his memories, but he didn't show any embarrassment. He said to the four companions: "Very good, very good, I'm very satisfied. Just don't forget about two points."

"Sir, please give me a message." The four men asked for instructions respectfully in unison.

"First, we must continue to maintain our relationship with counties and governments at all levels to ensure that our people who rebuild the society can pass the test; second, we must absorb more famous scholars and work together to strengthen the society."

"Yes, sir." The four men replied in unison.

"I also have good news to tell you, which is of great significance to attracting famous scholars to join our society. You can reveal something to them when you win over those famous scholars." Zhang Fu announced proudly.

When the four team members heard this, they were a little surprised and stared at Zhang Fu and waited for his next sentence.

"Young Master, what good news is?" Wang Xiaoda Daisi asked.

Zhang Fu stretched out his hand and patted Wang Xiaoda's jade face, and then said: "The important minister sent by the imperial court to Jiangnan to preside over the provincial examination is Zhou Yanru, the auxiliary minister of the cabinet. I have a very good relationship with him..."

He said this, but he didn't say anything more. What he hadn't finished was already obvious. When the four masters heard this, they were overjoyed and congratulated Zhang Fu on his behalf, wishing that the Jinling Conference would definitely be a great success.
