在田家英小莽苍苍斋旧藏中,有一通陈奂致冯桂芬的信函。这封信是扬州的杨亮托陈奂向主持修纂《两淮盐法志》的冯氏说情,以便续聘杨亮等人的。结合现存几封杨亮写给陈奂的信件,基本上可以勾勒出这一事件的来龙去脉,即杨亮、陈奂两人实际上并无深交,只不过是在之前不久才相识于南京的博山园内的。基于这样的交情,就能请托这样重要的事情,从而反映出当时底层文人学者的生活状态,实在是潦倒穷愁。而陈奂作为当时两江总督的座上客,他的这种请托,无疑应该是具有一定的效用的。至少,在杨亮眼中,可能比其老师姚莹,一位在任官员,更有效力。否则,他也不会在相识不久之后,就发出这样的请求。不过,即便如此,这封信发出之后,到底得到了什么样的结果,现在已经不太清楚了。但信中涉及的《两淮盐法志》一书,事实上因为太平军的攻陷江南,并没有修成,在此后不久就陷入了停顿。因此,即便是陈奂的这次请托,得到了满意的答复,事实上杨亮的生活也依旧不会有多大的改善。 In Tian Jiaying’s little bangs, he had a letter from Chen Huanzhi to Feng Guifen. This letter is Yangzhou Yang Liang entrusted with Chen Huan to preside over the compilation of “two Huai salt law” Fung’s fate, in order to renew Yang Liang et al. In combination with the few letters that Yang Liang wrote to Chen Huan, the ins and outs of this incident can basically be sketched out. In fact, Yang Liang and Chen Huan both did not actually have any deep-rooted diplomatic ties, but only shortly before they met in Nanjing In the garden Based on such friendship, we can ask such an important matter to reflect the living conditions of the scholars and scholars at the time. However, as the guest of the governor of Liang Jiang at the time, his request for such assistance undoubtedly had certain effect. At least, in the eyes of Yang Liang, may be more than its teacher Yao Ying, an office official, more effective. Otherwise, he will not make such a request shortly after his acquaintance. However, even then, what exactly has been achieved after the letter was issued is now less clear. However, the letter involved in the “Book of Laws in the Huaihe River,” a book, in fact, because of the Tajiks invasion of Jiangnan, and did not repair, then stopped shortly thereafter. Therefore, even if this Huan Huan request, get a satisfactory answer, in fact Yang Liang’s life will still not be much improvement.
