Hui'an County was attacked by Japanese pirates. As soon as the news came out, Quanzhou Prefecture and the entire Fujian Chengcheng Office were shocked.

The locals naturally know what the relationship between pirates and Japanese pirates are, and what the relationship between pirates and pirates is. The Chen family of Longxi and Lin family of Zhangpu, as local maritime merchants, actually condoned the Japanese pirates to attack Hui'an County. This matter is really a bit too much.

This time, the Japanese pirates can attack Hui'an County. Will there be any concerns about the Japanese pirates next time? If you don't care about this, it is very likely that they will suffer next time.

Therefore, the gentry of Quanzhou Prefecture and even the entire Fujian Provincial Government Office have raised some questions about the irresponsible practices of local maritime merchants and wealthy families to a greater or lesser extent.

Originally, they treated the Chen family of Longxi and Lin family of Zhangpu, which meant that the two families scolded each other. However, later, a lot of "insider" news came from Quanzhou Prefecture, with the target directly targeting the Chen family of Longxi.

It turned out that these Japanese pirates were actually recruited by the Chen family in Longxi. Their purpose was to revenge the Yang family in Hui'an. They even made wild words to destroy the Yang family in Hui'an!

If the Hui'an Yang family was really destroyed by the Longxi Chen family, perhaps the local gentry would not dare to say anything. Problem, the Longxi Chen family seemed to have failed this time, and the Hui'an Yang family did not suffer any losses. This guy will have a very different result.

The Chen family in Longxi obviously wants to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. If the chicken in Hui'an Yang family was really destroyed by the Chen family in Longxi, then the monkeys of the local gentry would definitely be silent.

However, the chicken-killing operation of Chen in Longxi was obviously failed, so the local gentry and other monkeys could not be scared.

What will happen if they are not intimidated?

Then he naturally jumped up and scolded Chen, the Longxi family.

Sani Nai Ji Ji, you kill your horse's chicken!

You, Chen, Longxi, think we are all chickens, right? The wealthy family of sea merchants is amazing, right? You, Chen, the Chen, you, want to be the king and dominate the countryside, are you, are you, fighting in the nest so ruthlessly, believe it or not, we will join forces to report to the court and kick your Chen, Longxi, out of this "chicken nest".

The public was unpleasant. This time, the Chen family was scolded so badly that the old man of the Chen family was so angry that he almost killed Chen Wenjie, the culprit. If Chen Wenjie's father was the censor of the current Censorate, this time, he would have been dealt with by the Chen family of Longxi.

The old man of the Chen family was so angry, but Li Xixian was so happy. When Chongwu reported his military achievements, he couldn't believe his eyes. More than 30 Japanese pirates were captured in one net, and there were no casualties in the guard stationed in Chongwu. This was really unbelievable!

However, the more than 30 Japanese pirates were real, and when Chongwu Suatunwei escorted the Japanese pirates, no one was injured.

I'm afraid the entire government and the country will be shocked by this military merit?

Li Xixian was so happy. To be honest, he was not as comfortable as a commander, because he had not made any achievements in Yongningwei in the past few years, and he seemed to be very incompetent.

Although he has the status of the emperor's uncle, he can sit firmly in the position of commander without any credit, but he needs a face, and he doesn't want to live in this position in a mediocre position.

Now, with this shocking contribution, his face was shining, the Lu family's face was shining, and even the emperor's face was shining

The mundane things were chaotic, which took Yang Cong for more than a month. What he cared about at this moment was not whether there was light on his face, but whether he could be the winner. After solving the problem of Japanese pirates, he began to concentrate on studying "The Collection of Four Books and Sentences".

Winter went and spring came. After nearly half a year of hard study, he finally read the "Four Books, Chapters, and the book "All the Books" was roughly read, and at this time he was about to prepare for the exam in Jinling.

The straight distance from Quanzhou Prefecture to Jinling City is more than 2,000 miles. In addition, the road is tortuous, so it is at least 3,000 miles to walk on the official road. Even if you take a carriage, it will take at least one month, because it will be overwhelming if you travel about a hundred miles a day. Otherwise, even if people can bear it, the horse will not be able to bear it.

It took more than a month on the road alone, and with thousands of miles away from home, it naturally requires some preparation, including the accompanying personnel and vehicles, the route to Jinling, the food and accommodation along the way, etc., all of which must be planned in advance.

Yang Cong and Yu Dayou discussed it and finally decided to stay in the inn along the way and not go to those county towns or capital cities, because the inns are usually next to the official roads, and many of the inns and counties need to detour. He is not going to travel or enjoy himself, so there is no need to enter the city at all.

As soon as he finished planning the route, Xue Nantang and Li Du rushed to the scene after hearing the news. They wanted to take a ride and go to Jinling with Yang Cong to participate in the provincial examination.

They are not as rich as Yang Cong, and Li Du may be able to ride a carriage, but Xue Nantang must not be able to ride a carriage. Moreover, Yang Cong usually travels with a bunch of guards, so you don’t have to worry about safety issues on the road with him.

Not long after, Xu Jie ordered someone to send a letter to Yang Cong. The letter not only gave him a detailed introduction to the matters that need to be paid attention to on the way to Jinling, but also brought him a formal document of dispatch.

It turned out that when Xu Jie heard that he wanted to eat and live at the post station along the way, he asked the new Fujian Chengxuan Political Envoy Wang Dong to write him a commission for dispatch, which roughly means that the left Senator Wang Dong sent him, Mubin to Jinling to work, and invited a few hospitality at the post station along the way. Moreover, even the documents that Wang Dong hired him as Mubin came over.

From the beginning, this Ming Dynasty post station was specifically responsible for supplying postmen who conveyed official documents, cavalry who conveyed military information, and food, accommodation and travel tools for some officials. Moreover, the management of post stations in the early Ming Dynasty was very strict, and using post stations was a serious crime for non-civilians to use post stations.

However, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the nature of this post station gradually changed, becoming a bit similar to that of a guesthouse in later generations. The post station managers wanted to make money, and the officials who came and went also wanted to make money. Everyone was making money from the court through the post station. Therefore, the post stations were generally not afraid at this moment, and as long as you had money, you could live there.

This is also the reason why Yang Cong decided to eat and live in the inn. As long as you give some money to the innkeeper of the inn, the food and accommodation conditions will be even better than ordinary inns, because what they call you is money from the court, and you won’t feel distressed at all.

Of course, with Wang Dong's official documents, even if he doesn't have money, he can eat and live well at the post station. You should know that the fourth-rank local officials are already quite officials, so how dare the postmaster who is not of grade dare to offend such local officials?

The things on the road were almost ready, so the next step was to arrange the family affairs. The things at home were actually mainly safety issues. Chen, the Longxi family, could not relax his vigilance for a day.

Fortunately, the Chongwuwei near Hui'an has already taken control of Yu Dayou. Although Yu Dayou and Tang Kekuan are going to take the exam this time, Deng Cheng has no intention of going there. This guy seems to be not very interested in martial arts, but he is very addicted to being an official.

It just so happened that he would leave the matter of Chongwuwei to him, so Yu Dayou was relieved, and Yang Cong was relieved.
Chapter completed!
