Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 765 Congratulations (Final Chapter)
Yongjing 33 years, mid-March!
Luoyang Duanmen.

The gongs and drums are loud, and the firecrackers are all fired.

This day is the day when the imperial court passes on the people in the Golden Palace once every three years.

On this day, the Emperor Dayu will hand-picked the number one scholar in civil and military affairs, as well as the second place and Tanhua. After the six of them thank God, they will ride out of the Duanmen on royal horses and wear red flowers, and cross Tianjie to show off in front of people.

The grand event held once every three years brought all the rich and wealthy people in the city to flock to Tianjin Street, hoping to get a taste of the talents of the number one scholar in civil and military affairs.

Above the Golden Palace, Emperor Dayu, who was nearly sixty years old, looked at the political question paper in his hand, raised his head and laughed loudly: "Blessed is my son!"

He handed the answer sheet to Luo Kangrui, who had already been canonized as the Prince of Dayu.

Luo Kangrui looked at the thousand-word essay in his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "This, this is really written by someone who just graduated from university..."

Established in Dayu, Luo Youdu has been making corresponding reforms for the imperial examination.

With the development of the economy, the popularity of sweet potatoes and corn, the warming of the climate, and the surrender of the countries in the South China Sea, the people of Dayu have almost solved the problem of food and clothing, and compulsory elementary school education has been made compulsory.

As early as 15 years ago, Dayu canceled the provincial and general examinations in the imperial examinations, and only retained the provincial and palace examinations of the Ministry of Rites, and began to adopt the diploma assessment system.

Those without a university degree are not allowed to take the imperial examination.

People who graduated from university can serve as small officials in the local area with their diplomas. Those with excellent grades can also be promoted to officials after passing the assessment, and at the same time retain the right of small officials to take scientific examinations...

Graduating from a university is not difficult for educated people. Although the provincial examination is mainly about administration, it is a common basic question.The palace examination is different, the emperor personally writes the questions, and the test is about the current political situation, and even the general direction.Ordinary bachelors are somewhat difficult to deal with basic administration, let alone unexpected current affairs, grand strategy and general direction.

Therefore, there are very few first-time college students who are the champions, and many of them are small officials who have traveled or even have many years of grassroots experience.

Luo Youdu leaned back to make himself more comfortable: "When I first read this article for my father, I was a little moved, but when I saw the name, I was relieved."

Luo Kangrui looked at the title of the volume: Fan Zhongyan!
"It's him?" Luo Kangrui had heard the name before, and said, "A genius from Heluo University?"

Heluo University is the original Guozijian University.

The Guozijian also carried out reforms, and was in charge of all schools in the world, and was no longer in charge of education.Guozijian University moved to Luoyang and changed its name to Heluo University.

Dayu's style of writing prevails, and the system of discussing politics is loose. Even ordinary people can talk about one or two current affairs. , no guilt.

It is within the etiquette for students who are full of ambitions to enter the Zouyuan to discuss matters and publish their testimonials in newspapers.

In order to encourage academic freedom, the imperial court even established a brand-new institution to encourage academic discussion and publication of research.

Fan Zhongyan's article was also published in the newspaper. Luo Kangrui read his article and remembered this good man, but he didn't expect it to be so great.

The question given by Luo Youdu in the imperial examination this time is "fixing the border", how can the border be stabilized.

Dayu's territory is the most vast in ancient and modern times, and its management is naturally extremely complicated.

The east and south directions are the most stable. The Dayu Navy is invincible and has absolute control.There are only a few scattered horse thieves in the north who are not convinced by the king, and they are not good.

There have always been problems in the Western Dingxi Protectorate, that is, the Dashi area.

Over the years, Dayu has been promoting the Sinicization of the Great Food Method, and the effect is very significant.

However, the old eclipse is deeply ingrained and has deep historical problems. The old aristocrats of the eclipse are also intertwined, and there is also a trend of lingering, and the Catholic Church secretly stirs up fire from time to time.

Solving all these problems will not happen overnight.

Dingxi Protectorate can only be said to be relatively stable...

Dingbian mainly refers to Dingxi Dufu.

Faced with this problem, Fan Zhongyan wrote out his own proposals in detail. In view of the characteristics of the vast land, sparsely populated and dangerous terrain in the western region, build fortresses and beacon towers in key places to form a strategy centered on Baghdad and echoed by fortresses. The system, the ethnic minorities along the border, sincere unity, generous concessions, strict rewards and punishments, so that they can feel at ease...

The eloquent and eloquent thousands of words, every word makes sense, and also covers both military and political ends. It doesn't look like a fledgling rookie at all.

This is not surprising to Luo Youdu. When Fan Zhongyan first published an article in the Dibao, he noticed his idol, the famous Fan Wenzheng.It's just that he felt strange at the time, and sent someone to find out, wondering if it was the same name and surname, and if it was the ancient sage with both civil and military skills in memory.

After all, in his memory, Fan Zhongyan was a rough young man, he was a mediocre scholar, not a son of an official, so he specially sent someone to investigate one or two, and he knew the reason.

In history, Fan Zhongyan had a miserable childhood. His father, Fan Yong, died early, and his mother, Mrs. Xie, was poor and helpless. He had to embrace the two-year-old Fan Zhongyan and remarried Zhu Wenhan from Changshan, Zizhou. Fan Zhongyan also changed his surname and named him Zhu Shuo.After studying hard, Han Chuang took the imperial examination under the name of "Zhu Shuo", and was listed on the Cai Qi Bang. He became a Jinshi from a "cold Confucianism", and the name of Fan Zhongyan was restored later.

Now Fan Zhongyan's father, Fan Yong, surrendered with Wuyue Qian Chu, and was reused by Luo Youdu. Perhaps it was because of his great ambitions, or it was possible that the Dayu court attached great importance to science and advanced medical skills.In short, Fan Yong is now living well and holding an important position. Mrs. Xie naturally did not remarry, and Fan Zhongyan did not change her surname. She received a good education in her childhood and was admitted to Heluo University.

Compared with poor families who bury their heads in studying sage books, the biggest advantage of the children of officials and eunuchs is that they can get in touch with administrative affairs prematurely.

Whether it is the first-hand information from the imperial court, or the method of being an official taught by his father Fan Yong, these are difficult for poor people to get in touch with early.

Fan Zhongyan's talent potential is astonishing, and his personal ability achievements are ranked first in the entire history of China. Now he has received a good education by accident, and has been exposed to administrative affairs in advance. The time to realize his talent is far longer than history.

Without any hesitation, Luo Youdu wrote the word number one scholar on Fan Zhongyan's paper.

He hand-picked the Jinshi and the No. [-] Scholar, Second Place, and Tanhua, and picked up the papers on the side to read.

This is Wuke's answer sheet.

The martial arts system was founded in Wu Zhou, but in fact, no matter whether it was Wu Zhou or Tang Dynasty, they didn't pay much attention to martial arts. Guo Ziyi was the only one who really rose to fame by virtue of martial arts for hundreds of years.Moreover, Guo Ziyi did not rise by relying on Wu Zhuangyuan. The status of Wu Zhuangyuan just made him a small official from the ninth rank...

Martial arts prevailed in the Dayu court, with both civil and martial arts.

Luo Tianzi felt that Wen Zhuangyuan was proud of his spring breeze and horseshoe disease. He saw all the charm and elegance of Chang'an flowers in one day, but Wu Zhuangyuan was so ignored. , share the occasion.

The martial arts exam is similar to the literary exam. The foundation of the literary exam is the understanding of culture, four books and five classics, mathematics, and physics, while the martial arts exam is horse shooting, infantry, flat shooting, carbine, weight bearing, and wrestling. It is to return to the topic.

The core of the palace examination is political discussion, and the core of martial arts examination is military strategy.

Even if he is as brave as Lv Bu, and his military strategy is not good enough, he will not be able to win the title of champion of martial arts.

Looking at the answer sheets, Luo Youdu kept nodding his head. With the development of compulsory primary school education, Dayu's literacy rate has been effectively improved.Wu Fu is no longer Shi Shouxin's type, he can't read a few big characters, and he has to ask for a clerk to read a letter from the imperial decree.

It doesn't matter whether the answer is good or bad, as long as the handwriting is clear and the logic is reasonable, you can say something.

After reading most of it, Luo Youdu yawned, feeling a little lack of energy, he took out an answer sheet, glanced at it and lifted his spirits.

What a beautiful word.

The literacy rate of warriors has increased, but it is a bit overthinking to expect them to write beautiful handwriting, so that grading papers has become a torment.

Suddenly a neat and beautiful answer sheet came, and the feeling was the same as another village.

Glancing at the name, Luo Youdu smiled again, it turned out to be him...

Zhong Shiheng!
Unexpectedly, this year's martial arts exam, there is still such a number one person hiding, which is a surprise.

While looking at Zhong Shiheng's answer sheet, Luo Youdu said, "Does Zhong Shiheng know, how about the other grades?"

Luo Youdu has also felt that his energy has become more and more exhausted these years, and many things have been left to the prince Luo Kangrui, who only controls the general direction.

Luo Kangrui said: "They are all above average. In this martial arts test, the results are at the bottom, and the performance is not very good. Especially in riding, horse shooting and carbine fell a lot, and foot shooting and flat shooting are very good This is also related to his background. His father died early and his mother raised him alone. He finished elementary school with work-study programs. He got good grades and was snapped up by many universities in Guanzhong, but he refused one by one and resolutely applied for Bashang Military Academy. .”

The experience of Zhong Shiheng is exactly the opposite of that of Fan Zhongyan. In history, Zhong Shiheng was the nephew of the great Confucianist Zhong Fang. After his father passed away, he relied on his uncle Zhong Fang's kindness, and was appointed as the director of the superintendent to start his official career and establish the Zhong family. military.

Zhong Fang is good at Yi learning, doesn't like to be an official, studies Taoist bigu technique, and stays in the mountains all day long.Song Taizong Zhao Kuangyi came out of the mountain with three edicts, thus set foot in the officialdom, and finally worshiped the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

In Luo Youdu's place, Zhongfang is not treated like this. He is good at discovering talents, but he takes all the world, and the talents blow out.Zhong Fang is not a peerless genius like Zhuge Liang or Han Xin, such a noble person who is unwilling to become an official, he will not lick his face and summon him many times.

Then Zhong Fang died young because of Bigu, and the Zhong family also declined because of this.

But gold is gold. Even without Zhong Fang's help, Zhong Shiheng resolutely relied on the imperial court's system to enter the military academy, stood out from many talents, and thus obtained the qualification for the imperial examination.

However, because he was poor and poor, he only started to learn how to ride a horse when he entered the military academy, and he was slightly inferior in equestrian skills.

Zhong Shiheng's answer sheet was very concise and simple, and the whole article was written around the word "administering the army", which deeply touched Luo Youdu, and instantly thought of himself in the past.Back then, I was a rookie and didn't know anything about military affairs, so I tried my best to manage the army. With the support of Pan Mei and Cao Bin, I broke through the world in Huainan.

After reading all the papers, Luo Youdu said with a bit of joy: "This year is the big year of the imperial examination! One Fan Zhongyan and one Zhong Shiheng are not enough, but there are two heroes Xia Wangrong and Xia Yuqi... This is a bit embarrassing Yeah."

As he spoke, he picked out the papers of Zhong Shiheng, Xia Wangrong, and Xia Yuqi and handed them to Luo Kangrui. After he finished reading them, he asked, "What do you think, the crown prince?"

Luo Kangrui also had joy on his face, and said: "The brothers of the Xia family are really amazing. Their horse shooting, infantry shooting, flat shooting, carbine shooting, weight-bearing, and wrestling are all excellent. The two brothers are tied for the first place, and the performance of the military strategy this time is not inferior to Zhong Shiheng. The child does not know how to make a decision, so let the emperor make the decision."

In his heart, he was inclined towards the brothers Xia Wangrong and Xia Yuqi. When it came to comprehensive ability, the performance of the two brothers was indeed above that of Zhong Shiheng.

However, having been the crown prince for more than 20 years, Luo Kangrui also knew how to advance and retreat, and it was up to the emperor to decide on the hand-picked number one scholar.

Luo Youdu didn't think too much, and directly selected Zhong Shiheng as the champion.

Luo Kangrui was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to say more.As he grows older, he also has his own sense of opinion, and he fully agrees with his father's individual thoughts, but there is only one thing, Luo Kangrui obeys on his knees when it comes to knowing and employing people.None of the people whom my father favored for being exceptionally promoted did not miss a single one...

The playmates arranged for him in the early years are now the future pillars of the Dayu court.

Even the seemingly absurd Xiao Chuo, who played with him when he was young and had no idea about his father, showed extraordinary talent in his position.

Some people even privately said that if Xiao Chuo was born to a boy, it is very possible to enter the council hall to pay homage to the prime minister.

Luo Youdu made the list of civil and military champions, got up and said, "Let's go, go to the Jinluan Hall to meet the future pillars of the imperial court." He paused and said earnestly: "The greatest wealth left to you by my father is not this country, but These are the talents who can conquer the world."

If there is no influence of future generations, Luo Youdu will probably choose one of the Xia family brothers as the champion, but he has made a name for himself in this regard, and he naturally chooses a talent like Zhong Shiheng whose talent is visible.

This is also Luo Youdu's greatest advantage, and one of the keys to Dayu's rocket-like development.

He can clearly know the potential of some people's loyalty and treachery, so they can be promoted and cultivated.

This is not to say that he didn't miss the time. On the contrary, with the development of education and the increase of territories, many dusty pearls in history have shone brightly in his era.It’s just that these need to be discovered bit by bit, but people like Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, Fan Zhongyan, and Zhong Shiheng don’t need to be discovered. They are pearls themselves and can shine ahead of time.

As for Xia Wangrong and Xia Yuqi, they also have potential, and Luo Youdu also intends to reuse them, but instead of betting on their potential, it is better to put the biggest bargaining chip on Zhong Shiheng.

In fact, Xia Wangrong and Xia Yuqi are also famous figures in history, but they are not known to Luo Youdu.

Xia Wangrong and Xia Yuqi were born in Ningxia Dangxiangyeli family. Their original names were Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi were Li Yuanhao's right-hand men in Xixia. The two men with both civil and military skills contributed greatly to Xixia's successful founding of the country.

The two battles of Sanchuankou and Haoshuichuan to defeat the Song army were written by the two brothers.

However, the Tuoba Li family of the Dingnan Army had already been destroyed, and Dangxiang Yeli's family surrendered to Wang Hua, who changed Dangxiang's Yeli family to a Han surname, taking Xiazhou as his surname.

Naturally, Luo Youdu didn't know all this.

Just to mention it, Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi, the two founding heroes of Xixia, finally died under Zhong Shiheng's divorce scheme.

Luo Kangrui said solemnly: "Kid, keep it in mind."

When Xu Bu came to the main hall, all the candidates for the Civil and Military Palace Examination saluted with anxiety and excitement.

"Excuse me, stay flat, raise your heads, you are the future pillars of the imperial court, and I am not a scourge, you don't have to lower your head and stand up. My good man in Dayu, you must have the vigor of a man."

The examinees all straightened up after hearing this, with a look of passion on their faces.

Facing those clear and inspirational eyes, Luo Youdu also nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This is my good boy, Dayu..."

He smiled and praised His Highness and everyone, and what he said warmed the hearts of all the candidates.

Luo Youdu asked: "Who is Fan Zhongyan?"

A youthful young man walked out under the envious eyes of everyone: "The student is here!"

Luo Youdu looked at his idol, and said: "I read your exam paper several times, and it was very well written. Both I and the prince are full of praise. At your age, it is really amazing to have such insights. Especially I see an illusion of the future in your article, which is even better."

Fan Zhongyan bowed excitedly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Since the beginning of my student's enlightenment, I have heard His Majesty's golden words of 'worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys' from my father. I am deeply touched. Take it as the motto, put it in front of the bed, and keep yourself awake day and night.”

The hall was silent for a while.

Fan Zhongyan thought he had said something wrong and was a little uneasy.

Crown Prince Luo Kangrui looked at his father in surprise. His father, who was calm and always smiling, turned out to be blushing and shy?
what's the situation?
Luo Youdu thought to himself: "As long as I'm not embarrassed, someone else will be embarrassed!"

He solemnly announced the list of civil and military champions, ending this embarrassing meeting...
-
A scholar in green shirt moved forward along the crowd, looking left and right, looking for his companion in the crowd.

Not long after the scholar came to Luoyang, this was the first time he encountered such a situation, so he could only follow the flow of people.

After crossing the Tianjin Bridge, the towering Duanmen Tower came into view, and a flash of yearning flashed in the young man's eyes.

"Brother Retro!"

A person grabbed him from behind and said loudly: "Why did you disappear in the blink of an eye? Hurry up, I missed the time, but I have to wait for another three years."

The young man in green shirt looked back in astonishment, he saw that the visitor was a little older than himself, with a Chinese character face, and a strong figure, but he was full of bookishness, but he didn't recognize him, and said: "Brother, you have admitted the wrong person."

The person who came was also startled, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Wang Zeng of Yidu in Lower Qingzhou, the back of your brother is very similar to a good friend of mine, so I took the liberty to bother you, forgive me."

The youth in the green shirt brightened his eyes and said, "But Wang Xiaoxian from Jixia University in Qingzhou?"

The young man in green shirt was born in Bailudong University. He had read Wang Zeng's article and had a deep impression on him. After being confirmed by the other party, he hurriedly said, "I met Brother Wang when I was in Yan Shu, Fuzhou, Jiangxi."

Wang Zeng was also stunned for a while, and said in a low voice, "But Uncle Yan Tong, the child prodigy of Bailudong University?"

Yan Shu was able to write at the age of seven. After entering elementary school, he learned the basics for six years a year, skipped a grade to enter middle school, and entered Bailudong University, the best school in the south of the Yangtze River, and became the youngest bachelor in Dayu. world.

The news even reached the imperial court, and after hearing the news, Emperor Dayu couldn't help admiring: "Young child prodigy, this child is destined to become a great weapon in the future."

Luo Tianzi is unparalleled in the world for his knowledge of people, and he has praised all the people who have become successful: Zhang Qixian, the economic officer of the rice bucket, Xi Kou Zhun, the governor of Taiyuan, and Li Jilong and Cao Wei, all before they made their fortunes. Give Luo Tianzi the talent identified by his eyes.

The most rare thing is that Yan Shu was famous in his childhood without any arrogance. He still went his own way and was obsessed with literature. He left many articles and poems. Even Li Yu, who was at the peak of Yu Ci, praised Yan Shu's words for their spirituality.

Wang Zeng looked at the young man in front of him, put his hands together, and said with a smile: "Yes, I heard the day before yesterday that Bailudong University sent 20 people to Beijing, and Uncle Tong was among them. Today If you have a destiny, why don’t you come with me to the Luoshui boat with my uncle, and see the elegant demeanor of the number one scholar in literature and martial arts. Maybe in the future, you and I can also wear red robes, ride white horses, and visit the city of gods.”

Yan Shu was a little moved, but thinking of the classmates who came with him, he shook his head and refused.

Wang Zeng didn't want to let go of the prodigy in front of him, and said: "The two champions are about to parade through the streets, and the crowds are surging. It's strange to find them. Why don't you come with me on the boat, and it will be easier to find people on the boat. The next thing is to see Uncle Tong on the boat. I just found it because of my brother's back."

Yan Shu looked at the crowds around him and agreed.

Wang Zeng led Yan Shu to board a painting boat on Luoshui.

Seeing Wang Zeng leading a stranger aboard, they all showed curiosity.

Wang Zeng introduced Yan Shu to everyone on the boat.

It turned out to be a child prodigy from the south of the Yangtze River, and they all stepped forward to say hello.

They are all scholars, and most of their future goals are to serve the imperial court. A potential stock like Yan Shu is someone everyone is willing to make friends with.

Yan Shu returned the gift one by one, Bao Lingyi, Sun He, Sun Zhi, Lu Zhen, Gao Fuyao, Huang Zongdan, Sun Ji, Qian Yi...

Most of them are high-achieving students from prestigious universities.

Before Yan Shu met all the people on the boat, he squeezed into the boat alone, but it was Wang Zeng who wanted to find his good friends Li Di and Li Fufu.

Li Di shouted when he got on the boat, and said: "The number one scholar of civil and military affairs has come out now, the number one scholar of literature and military affairs is Fan Zhongyan of Heluo University, and the number one scholar of martial arts is Zhong Shiheng of Chang'an."

There was a burst of excited shouting on the painting boat, especially the students of Heluo University, who were even more honored.

"Finally proud for a while, I can't let the poor family step on my head every time..."

An inappropriate voice came from the crowd.

Yan Shu frowned upon hearing this. His great-great-grandfather Yan Yong was a Jinshi in the tenth year of Xiantong in the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Zeng said in a low voice: "Don't worry about it, mediocre people will only complain."

Wang Zengzu was descended from the Wang family of Taiyuan, who took refuge in Yidu, Qingzhou during the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, but after the turmoil of the Five Dynasties, the family has long since ceased to exist.He was lonely at the age of eight, and he was a lonely teenager. He was admitted to university with a work-study program and a scholarship to support himself.

Since Luo Youdu changed the grace system in the past, the imperial examination has become the most direct channel for literati.

After more than [-] years of perfecting the system, officials who entered the imperial examination accounted for half of Dayu.

Luo Youdu has improved the education system many times, carried out compulsory education in primary schools, promoted the work-study policy, and implemented the scholarship system, so that more ordinary people can have a bright future.

It is rare for the top scholars in the previous Jinshi subjects to come from poor families or even civilians. For example, Lu Mengzheng, Wang Shize, Liang Hao, Xiao Paiya, Xiao Liuzhe, Xia Renrong, etc. were all civilians. Among them, Xiao Paiya and Xiao Liu were Khitan The tribe, Xia Renrong is even a member of the party.A small number of people were dissatisfied and felt that the untouchables and other people had affected them.

I don't know at all, even without these people, they don't have the ability to rise to the top.

The sound of gongs, drums and cheers has come close.

"Zhuang Yuanlang is here!"

Shouts came from all around.

Yan Shu, Wang Zeng and the others couldn't help but look at Tianjin Bridge: that is the way to their future promotion.

The two most eye-catching among the crowd rode white horses and wore festive red outfits on the Prancing Horse Bridge.

Yan Shu stared intently, his eyes shining brightly.

The same is true for Wang Zeng, Bao Lingyi, Sun He, Sun Zhi, Lu Zhen and others, all of them silently recited in their hearts: One day, we will also receive this honor.

It's not just them, there are thousands of people who yearn to jump into the dragon's gate, go to high school in one fell swoop, become the emperor's disciple, and go down in history.

In the next few years, Luo Youdu gradually delegated power to the crown prince Luo Kangrui, and he would only come forward when making major decisions and selecting talents.
-
Subin Mansion, that is, later Vladivostok!

The giant ship covering the sky and the sun is slowly approaching the shore!
An eighty-year-old man with yellow skin, smooth black hair, and prominent cheekbones walked off the boat tremblingly, looked around in a daze, and said, "Captain Cao, is this Luoyang?"

He spoke blunt Chinese.

Cao Wei... Cao Bin's son, who is now the governor of the Donghai Navy, supported the old man and said, "This is Luoyang, this is Suibin Mansion, and it's still far away from Luoyang."

The eighty-year-old man said excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, leave quickly, I want to see the emperor, and congratulate the court on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the country."

Cao Bin said: "King Dongping, don't worry, His Majesty has sent a decree, let me wait to escort King Dongping to Beijing."

The eighty-year-old man panted heavily, and said, "Well, hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to support myself."

The eighty-year-old man was the king of Dongping who was proclaimed by Dayu himself. He was also the chief of the Yin (Indian) tribe who was willing to trade with Lin Renzhao when he crossed the sea into the East Yu continent. His Chinese name was Zhan Qinian.

Dayu communicated with the Yin people through Zhan Qinian, built cities in the Eastern Yu Continent, recruited the tribes of the Yin people, taught them knowledge and culture, and let them know that they are connected with the Dayu court in the west.

At this time, the Yin people had precious land and no one knew how to develop it. Dayu brought them advanced technological culture, taught them farming techniques, and established a firm foothold in the Eastern Yu Continent through gentle means.

Zhan Qinian was the first to Sinicize, and he was also the first to feel the changes. Although many unruly Yin people called him a traitor, he saw the colorful and warm clothes on the boats of the clansmen, the fact that the clansmen did not sleep in the open air, and the children of the clan Instead of learning to fight, but to read and practice calligraphy, he will know that he has done the right thing.

Zhan Qinian has sent many envoys across the sea to Beijing over the years, and also asked his son to serve the emperor, but he himself has been working hard for the imperial court to attract Yin people in the Eastern Yu Continent, and has never been to the legendary Western Continent.

Until Zhan Qinian was recuperating at home a few years ago, when he heard that the Dayu court was about to usher in the 50th anniversary of the founding of the country, he felt a desire to visit the legendary hometown and Luoyang in his lifetime.

So with Luo Youdu's consent, Zhan Qinian led a delegation of [-] Yin people from the Eastern Yu Continent across the sea...

Hanhai Prefecture Ulu team.

Wuma led his son Wulu back to his yurt, his wife handed him kumiss, he drank it and said, "What's wrong today, the team is so deserted?"

After these years of Sinicization, the Mobei Grassland has downplayed the idea of ​​tribes, but teams and teams around the Hanhai Mansion to raise livestock.

The wife said: "You, you only know about hunting, and you don't communicate with others. You don't know about such big things. I heard that the imperial court will hold a 50th anniversary celebration of the founding of the country. The team prepared some tributes and shipped them to Hanhai. Many people went... ..."

Wuma hurriedly said: "Have you given away that wolf skin?"

The wife said: "Don't worry, you have told me more than a dozen times that the white wolf skin is going to be given to His Majesty, you should have given it away earlier."

"That's good!" Wuma heaved a sigh of relief.

The wife sighed: "I heard that His Majesty is unwell and intends to pass the throne to the Crown Prince. I don't know if the Crown Prince will be as benevolent as Your Majesty."

Wuma was startled when he heard this, and a scene appeared in his mind, the sky was covered with snow, and the mighty army in the darkness was coming in the wind and snow...

That was ten years ago, there was a rare heavy snowfall in Mobei, countless livestock were killed and injured, and herdsmen wailed, unable to continue.

Wuma is an orphan, introverted and not good at speaking, relying on superb hunting skills to make ends meet, even his daughter-in-law was forcibly matched by the team because of Dayu's laws.

Heavy snow can't hunt, and there are no cattle and sheep at home, and it looks like it will starve to death.

The army from the Central Plains came, and what they brought was not swords and guns, but food...

Wuma also survived because of this.

The place where they live is poor and the tax is not high, and special products such as leather cattle, sheep and horses are used as tribute instead of tax.Every year Wuma handed in the best hides he hunted, and this year it was a rare white wolf hide...

Wuma suddenly said: "Let's go to Luoyang!"

Wu Lu was also bored, but when he heard Luoyang, he exclaimed, "Okay!"

The wife slapped her with a slap, raised her eyebrows and said, "What?"

Wuma said seriously: "I heard that you can see His Majesty in Luoyang, and he will enjoy the celebration with the people every year. Your Majesty saved our family's life. Why don't you take this opportunity to see His Majesty, even if you can't see him facing the palace?" It's good to kowtow in the direction..."

The wife was speechless for a moment...

Dayu Chamber of Commerce.

This place where the world's major affairs are dealt with has become a mess, as lively as a vegetable market.

Lu Meng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was facing Lu Duoxun, who was officially the Prime Minister, and said, "Sir, give me some more people, it's really not enough."

Zhang Qixian, Minister of the Ministry of War, also complained to Yeluxiu, the prime minister of the army: "My lord, I no longer have soldiers in charge of public security. When these people enter Beijing, they can only go in and out. Now it's not that there are no inns in the city, even the guests within a radius of twenty miles. There are no places in the B&Bs. Many people simply sleep in the wilderness, and no one is assigned to manage them, for fear of causing disaster.”

Lu Duoxun was one head and two adults. He was young and finally got rid of Zhao Puzhi, who had been oppressing him all the time. Not long after he became prime minister, this kind of thing happened to him. He was so busy that he couldn't sleep well for days and nights.

He frowned and said: "Didn't I just transfer 20 people to you a few days ago, why? Are you still short of people?"

Lu Meng was complaining: "Only 20 people? If you don't give 200 people, how can there be enough?"

Ludoson still hasn't spoken.

Bi Shi'an, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, jumped directly: "200 people, why don't you grab them, I also lack people here, and the total number of Sifang Pavilions in Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Shangqiu is less than half..."
