The newly arrived Changyi County Magistrate was named Gu Xianzheng. He was a Jinshi in the Bing List in the 13th year of Chongzhen, and he was on the same list as Zhou Xian. However, there were 300 people who passed the same Jinshi at that time. Zhou Xian did not have a deep impression of him, only knowing that his name was Duanmu. After he passed the Jinshi exam, he had been working in the Hanlin Academy. After Wang Duheng's death, the Changyi County Magistrate was vacant, so he filled the vacancy and went to Laizhou to take office.

Originally, half a month ago, Gao Feng wrote to him that Gu Xian had arrived in Changyi. But Zhou Xian sent a letter to ask Gao Feng to stay in Changyi for a while to help him get familiar with Changyi County affairs as soon as possible. At this time, since he came to Laizhou City with Gao Feng, it means that there was completely stable there, which was considered to be Zhou Xian's concerns during this period. You must know that at that time, half of the officials in Changyi County were either dismissed or imprisoned. It was not easy to recover to this in such a short period of time.

As soon as Zhou Xian walked into the government office, he heard bursts of laughter from the hall. The sound seemed to be from Wen Zhitong. He felt strange and immediately accelerated his pace.

Wen Zhitong sat on the side chair with a smile on his face, saying something to a scholar in Qing's clothes who was less than 30 years old. Gao Feng and Gu Xianzheng were sitting opposite them, with smiles on their faces.

Gao Feng first noticed Zhou Xian, and first stood up and bowed. He hadn't seen him for more than two months, and he had lost a lot of blackness and weight loss. It seemed that this period was not easy. The other three people also stood up and bowed to Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian smiled and nodded, walked to the seat and sat down, and said to Gu Xian, "Brother Duanmu, come from afar, and it's been hard work." Gu Xian was nearly fifty years old, and he was more than one round older than Zhou Xian. However, the two of them were Jinshi on the same list, so it was not wrong to call each other as brothers.

Gu Xianzheng quickly stood up and bowed to Zhou Xian and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are the governor of the whole place now, and I am just a small county magistrate. I really don't dare to be this Duanmu brother."

Zhou Xian waved his hand and smiled lightly, "Brother Duanmu, you and I are on the same list as Jinshi. Besides, you are older than me, so you are the right name. If it is a business, you should be called an official position. But at this moment it is just a private friendship, and there is no need to be so formal."

Gu Xian hesitated and said, "This..."

The scholar in Qingyi next to him interrupted at this time, "Sixth uncle, Master Zhou is only reminding you to be clear about public and private affairs in the future. You have personal friendship and justice. Just call him like him!"

Zhou Xian looked up at the scholar in blue, and saw that he was less than 30 years old, with white face and short beards, thin eyebrows and fish eyes. Although there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, his eyes were full of depression. "This one is..."

Gu Xianzheng glanced at the scholar in green and said to Zhou Xian: "Master Zhou, this is his nephew of his subordinates, named Gu Jikun and his courtesy name is Zhongqing. This time he came to the north for a trip and happened to come to the capital. Knowing that his subordinates were coming to Laizhou to take office, he came together to want to visit the scenery of Lu."

Wen Zhitong smiled and said, "Master Zhou, Zhongqing is not only outstanding in talent, but also very knowledgeable. He has his own unique insights into music, history, and Zijing, and is a rare talent."

Gu Jikun stood up, first bowed to Wen Zhitong, and then bowed to Zhou Xian and said, "The students failed to pass the exams many times, and there was no hope of entering the officialdom. Only then did they have time to read various miscellaneous studies. However, what Wen Tongzhi said just now is really ridiculous."

Zhou Xian stared at Gu Jikun and Zhongqing in front of him. He was so familiar with this word. I remember that before traveling through time, when he was still studying, Zhou Xian joked to his classmates: "Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen did not promote literary inquisition in the late Ming Dynasty, otherwise Gu Yanwu would not have been killed by the whole family. How dare he be the name Zhongqing?" Zhou Xian only knew that Gu Yanwu changed his name to Gu Yanwu after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and he was not very clear about his previous name, but now it seems that Gu Jikun is very likely Gu Yanwu.

Gu Yanwu was revered as the three great Confucian Confucians in the late Ming Dynasty, but his strengths were definitely not limited to Confucianism. He has written works in music, classics, history and geography, especially economics, which can be regarded as a unique skill. Zhou Xian suppressed his excitement and was about to confirm it again, so he asked: "Gu Zhongqing, this name sounds very familiar. May I ask, "The Book of the World and the Country and the Country" was written by you!"

Gu Jikun looked surprised and said, "Sir, have you read the students' books?" Gu Yanwu failed many times. At the age of 27, he decisively abandoned the imperial examination. He went to visit the north and south, and read the historical records of the county and county chronicles of history, compiled records of farmland, water conservancy, mines, transportation, and geographic charts, and compiled the miscellaneous book "The Book of the World and the Country Profits and Diseases".

When Zhou Xian heard Gu Yanwu's question, he was sure that he was Gu Yanwu. Zhou Xian smiled and shook his head, saying, "I haven't read it, I just heard someone say it before. If possible, you can give me one. In addition, I heard that you admire the character of Wen Tianxiang's student Wang Yanwu very much. At this time, the world is in turmoil, and it is time for such heroes to be successful. I think you might as well change your name to Gu Yanwu directly!" This is Zhou Xian's own obsessive-compulsive disorder. If he doesn't change it, it will be uncomfortable to call him. Moreover, the name Gu Yanwu is much better than his original Gu Jikun.

Gu Jikun was stunned. No one changed his name to him for the first time when he met. Although he did admire Wang Yanwu's character, Zhou Xian did this and made him feel very uncomfortable. A depressed aura arose in his heart, and the arrogance accumulated in his chest for a long time made him furious and he was about to speak angrily to push Zhou Xian back.

At this time, Gu Xianzheng quickly stood up and said to Zhou Xian: "Thank you, Lord, for giving my nephew a name. Zhongqing, why don't you thank you soon."

Gu Jikun, or Gu Yanwu, looked a little angry. He was silent for a long time before finally bowing slightly to Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian saw Gu Yanwu's ugly expression as if he was eating a fly and realized that he seemed to be doing a bit wishful thinking. If you change your name, you will take the initiative to change it and change it to yourself with others. Those are two completely different concepts. Zhou Xian smiled awkwardly and did not continue on this topic. He turned to the hall and said, "Tonight, I will set up a banquet at home to welcome the high-ranking official and the magistrate Gu County. Wen Tongzhi, then you will call Ma Tong to come together."

Wen Zhitong bowed.

Zhou Xian finally turned to Gu Yanwu and said, "Zhongqing, if you have a talent, you don't have to enter the official career through the imperial examination. If you want, stay in Laizhou and temporarily take the experience in Laizhou!"

Gu Yanwu's face was a little stunned, a little unclear. His experience in the mansion was an official position of the eighth rank, and he was mainly responsible for the cashier's writing, and they were all held by people trusted by the chief official. Zhou Xian changed his name as soon as he came, and instantly gave him such an official position. He was really hard to understand how strange his behavior was.
