Du Laoba naturally had no objection and agreed with a smile.

Just do something, otherwise it’s just a waste snack, but it’s not easy to eat and drink with your brothers.

...

On September 27, the governor's yamen and the yamen of Jinling Prefecture finally posted a notice.

First, the city walls are repaired at the beginning of October, and the people and businesses along the way need to cooperate.

Second, the Jinling Prefecture will be exempted from the winter of the winter.

Third, on the tenth day of October, the official examination will be held in the prefecture school. Registration for children and above, those who pass the mathematics skills can obtain the qualification for the pre-examination.

The seal signed by the notice is the "Seal of Taiwei Huo"

The gentry of Jinling was still thinking about what was going on. The yamen of the governor had changed its sign and hung the plaque of "Taiwei's Mansion".

The door of the Jinling Prefectural Office, which had been closed for several days, was also opened and started working.

Marshal Huo of Chuzhou Army has opened his palace!

There is a new prefect in Jinling!

But what do those three notices mean?

Build a city wall?

This is expected by everyone.

The Chuzhou army seized Jinling, but did not occupy the entire Jiangnan.

The defenders of Jiangnan West Road were transferred by the court to encircle and suppress Qichun, and half of the defenders of Jiangnan East Road were transferred to Hangzhou and half were in Suzhou.

It is Yangzhou across the river, and there are also 60,000 to 70,000 Huainan Road defenders.

If the city walls are not built, and the imperial court dispatches troops to quell the rebellion, there will be no barrier for the Chuzhou army.

How could it be avoided?

Didn’t you borrowed servitude to blackmail the place?

At that time, if the people have no money to support the rank of the people, they will work; if the gentry and merchants have no money to support the rank of the people.

Not supposed to be that way?

No sucking?

So is the repair of the city walls before it fake?

We need to use this to clean up the merchants and people along the wall?

And who is the official exam?

Tongsheng is actually qualified to register!

In the Wenxing area of ​​Jiangnan, every family has scholars, and not only a few people have children’s fame and fortune.

Isn’t it time to show good things to the gentry of Jinling if there is a lack of officials?

It’s okay to buy it with silver, why did the Chuzhou military conduct change its style?

The city gates have been closed these days, but there is no martial law in the city.

All households were inquiring in private, just to find out the style of Chuzhou Army.

As a result, all I heard were Chuzhou military service and gentry.

Occasionally, if a few families don’t obey, they are trying to die. There is no need to blame the Chuzhou army for “killing chickens and scaring monkeys”.

Those who know the times are heroes. Many people have the same idea as the Jia family. Those who want to "break money and avoid disasters" can "go further" by taking this opportunity. Of course, it is better.

But what does this Taiwei Huo mean?

If you don’t ask for money under the pretext of repairing the city wall, how can you give this filial piety?

The Taiwei Mansion has the highest family, and no one dares to come here without any recommendation.

At the prefect’s office, as soon as the identity of the new prefect was spread, many guests were welcomed.

...

Song Lin had a relative in Jinling and had studied in Jinling in the past, so there were more families who could be involved with him.

However, before retiring, he was a third-rank Xiaojiuqing, and now he is a parent official in Jinling. Song Lin has his own dignity.

Even if someone wants to ask about it through his old feelings, he will be polite.

"Brother Song, when will Taiwei Huo meet the local elders?"

This is a classmate or friend of Shilin in the past, and he is about the same age as Song Lin, and is over 60 years old and is among the "local elders".

"Uncle Song, is the threshold for the official examination too low? There are thousands of scholars and hundreds of juren in Jinling. Where is the turn of Tongsheng to come forward?"

This is a family and child who studies as a career and wants to take the opportunity to show his ambitions.

"Mr. Song, we have admired Taiwei Huo for a long time. I wonder if we can trouble Lord Song to recommend it to us?"

This is a Jinling official who was resigned or retired. He was moved when he saw Song Lin's situation.

In any case, everyone is thinking about clinging.

Song Lin’s heart was very subtle.

I don’t know if I am happy for the Chuzhou army or should be sad for the imperial court.

In the hearts of scholars, who doesn’t remember the four words “loyalty to the emperor and patriotism”?

It's just that there are too many people who can't help themselves.

Disappointment with the court.

Care for family and grandchildren.

He also had concerns about Master Lin, so he quickly voted for the White Shirt Army.

If he had no worries, he would rather live in seclusion than go out.

Who has no worries in this world? If you do this, what qualifications do you have to despise others?

Song Lin thought of his own family and calmed down his mind about all the people who came to inquire: "I have to meet the gentry and elders, but I will arrange it after the official exam!"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned.

If you don’t let everyone meet the leader of the Chuzhou Army, how do you know whether the Chuzhou Army can surrender and whether it is reliable?

I am not sure that the Chuzhou army can surrender, so why are you willing to arrange for your children to become an official?

A gentleman hesitated and said, "I heard some words yesterday, but I don't know if it was spreading rumors?"

"Oh? What do you mean?" Song Lin said.

"It's...that...that's something like 'either friend or enemy'..."

"This is true, it is indeed the words of the Grand Marshal!"

“…”

The room suddenly became silent.

Everyone is a well-known figure, and it is a bad feeling to be coerced by others.

Song Lin looked around everyone and whispered: "'The county magistrate who destroyed the family, the prefect who destroyed the family'... The family who remembers this should be safe!"

Why do you feel qualified to talk to the Chuzhou Army?

Isn’t it just the contempt in the bones?

Before, the prefect of Jinling had a disaster to Jinling for half a year, but no one dared to object.

No matter how harsh the scolding behind the scenes, the face is still a conspiracy.

That was just a prefect.

Everyone was embarrassed.

Song Lin serves tea and sees off guests...

The Wu family is a lesson from the past, and I only hope that these families will really know themselves.

*

The gentry of Jinling was uneasy, but the Chuzhou army entered a stable stage.

Li Yao was recalled.

Before officially taking office in Luzhou, he had to go to Bozhou again to express his identity as the "Taiwei" of Huo Wu.

The leader of the Chuzhou army began to take a vacation.

Since leaving Chuzhou on August 16th, we have been busy for a month and a half, and the journey has been 500 miles. It is really hard, so we should take a breath.

Even the Chuzhou army that arrived in Jinling one after another began to take turns to rest.
