Chapter 1570 Your Majesty, We Are Willing to Go (Happy New Year to Everyone)
Jiang Biehe used to be a first-class rich family in Yucheng County, who built a large courtyard in the village, with countless fertile fields under his name; but now, he can only live in a small shack, as for those other people under his name who contributed The land you came here has already belonged to someone else. You want to keep these things without your official status? Stop daydreaming!
It might be easier to talk about other officials who have been dismissed and returned to their hometowns. They still have the status of Jinshi, and they still have old friends in the officialdom to take care of them. In the future, their children are also expected to continue to be officials. Many local people in their hometown count on them to take care of them. If you go too far, you can still live comfortably in your hometown.
But Jiang Biehe is different. Since he was hunted down, he has lost his writing, not to mention Jinshi, and his fame as a scholar. He is just an ordinary citizen, not even a good citizen. The opportunity to take the imperial examination is basically the same as being reduced to a lowly status.
The clan couldn't count on it anymore. The other branches of the Jiang family hated them so much that they were directly removed from the family tree and kicked out of the old house. Now the four of Jiang Biehe's family can only live in a small room. Barely living in the shack; as for Jiang Biehe's wife, she has long since returned to her natal home, and the marriage contract Jiang Biehe promised to the child has also come to an end. Exam guy.
The county magistrate of Yucheng County was also deeply moved when he saw the former high-ranking Master Jiang reduced to such a state. It was more uncomfortable than killing him.
"Ben... I can still be an official? Master Chen is going to make fun of me!" Jiang Biehe smiled wryly. He knew what was going on right now. His relatives and friends broke up and he lost his Jinshi status. The whole family is on Daming's blacklist, and three generations have been deprived of political rights, so how dare you count on this.
"These late students know all about it." Mr. Chen is also educated, so he used the late student to say, "Since you don't take the national treasures seriously, it's only natural for His Majesty to treat you like this; it's just that Your Majesty is lenient and willing to forgive you and others. As long as you are willing to obey His Majesty's will, you can still be an official, and the virtuous nephews may not be able to continue scientific research in the future!"
"Oh?" Jiang Biehe's originally cloudy eyes became a little brighter. During the time he returned home, he could say that life would have been worse than death. If it wasn't for worrying about continuing to implicate future generations, he would have committed suicide long ago. Now I hear that he still has Opportunity is like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw and asking quickly, "How dare I ask? Where does Your Majesty want me to be an official? As long as I can give you another chance, even if it is in the miasma of Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou Land, I am willing to go too!"
Jiang Biehe used to avoid these places, but now, as long as he has the opportunity to leave his hometown, as long as his child has a chance to take the scientific examination, he can go there.
"It's not Guangdong, Guangxi, Yungui!" Master Chen shook his head, cupped his hands in the direction of the capital, and then explained, "A few days ago, His Majesty summoned Yu Zigao, the former general of the Fujian Army, and Zheng Zhilong, a guerrilla from Haiphong, to Beijing. The disaster victims were sent to Dayuan Island for reclamation, and there are already tens of thousands of Ming people on Dayuan Island in Beijing, and people-friendly officials are needed to set up prefectures and counties on the island to educate the people."
"Considering that it is not easy for you to study, His Majesty is willing to give you a chance. As long as you are willing to go to Dayuan Island to serve as the county magistrate, county magistrate, county lieutenant, or teaching edict, you can resume your official status; bring your children and grandchildren to settle in Dayuan , if the examination results are good, the eligibility of the children and grandchildren to participate in the scientific examination can be restored, and Yucheng County can also cancel the restriction on the imperial examination in advance!" In fact, this last point is the most critical, otherwise Master Chen would not bother to come over to Jiang Bie Crane said this.
"Dayuan Island? Where is this?" Jiang Biehe was a little confused. Why does he feel that this place is even more remote than Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou? willing to go
"The emperor's grace is mighty, the emperor's grace is mighty! I am willing to go, even if it is only for teaching, I am willing!"
No matter where you go, it's better than staying in your hometown, you don't know, what kind of day I live now! There is no food to eat, no decent place to live, and when I go out and meet someone, I will be scolded and spit all over my face. This kind of life is really unbearable.
"Yulang, hurry up and get some drinks, I want to have a few drinks with Master Chen for my father!" Jiang Biehe hurriedly pulled Master Chen, and planned to ask him more about the situation on Dayuan Island.
"Father." Jiang Yulang looked embarrassed, even the worst wine is out of reach for them now.
"No need." Master Chen shook his head, let alone whether you still have money, even if you have money, go out and find out, is that merchant in Yucheng County willing to buy something for you? The reputation of your Jiang Biehe in Yucheng County is even worse than that of Qin Hui and Yan Song back then, "So that you can know that Dayuan Island is a big island off the coast of Fujian. Since you mean it, I Let the county magistrate report your name when you go back."
"Thank you magistrate for the kindness of rebuilding, and thank Master Chen for giving me this opportunity." Jiang Biehe burst into tears with excitement, and finally saw the hope of turning around, "I will definitely be rewarded in the future."
"There's no need for a generous report. If you have the heart, wait until you become a high official and serve the court with all your heart. If you can get a better grade in the examination, the people of Yucheng can reopen the imperial examination sooner!" This is what Master Chen is concerned about. The key point is to restore the imperial examination, and the magistrate's performance appraisal can also look good, isn't it.
"It must be like this, it must be like this. After you become a high official, you must correct your past mistakes and do your best for the court." Jiang Biehe is now afraid of being tortured by Shen Long, and he is locked up in his hometown, where his family scolds him every day. Who can bear the day of the day.
"Well, it's good to know! When the county magistrate reports your name, there should be a reply soon. Then you can take your child to Dayuan Island!" Yes, he has to be registered locally, or else he wants to go back to his hometown after he gets better. If so, when will the development of Dayuan Island be completed?
"I am willing to take the children to Dayuan Island right now." Jiang Biehe couldn't stay in his hometown for a day, and he wished he could rush to Dayuan Island immediately.
"What are you thinking! Your Majesty has a decree. Even if you sign up to be a senior official, you have to live in your hometown for three months. If the time is too short, you can remember the lesson!" Master Chen sneered, you have to stay again I have been scolded for more than a month.
