The era of all the princes

Chapter 148 March

The big test is the most concerned topic on the island besides surveying the island these days!
Of course, the most concerned groups are those who are currently registered as scholars. Originally in the Central Plains, they were all unhappy people.

After coming here, he got the status of a scholar and became a cultural person in everyone's eyes. He could not work in the fields, but he could get a good salary by relying on his cultural ability, and he was respected by the people around him.

Such days are very good for many people who used to be unhappy. Meng Jiao is one of them. Now she goes in and out of the elegant Bailu Academy and does management work for officials. Most of the people in and out of the room have to call Meng Shu Member, she never dared to think about such a day.

She never wanted to give up on days like this.
"Yes, the next day will be the big exam." Meng Jiao nodded and smiled.

"Yeah, it's my fault for bothering you today," Mrs. Sun said hastily.

"It's okay, it's time to review and it's almost done, it's not too late." Meng Jiao said with a smile: "If you can't pass, even if you study hard all night today, you still can't pass."

"Look at what my sister said, you must be able to live!" Sun Niangzi comforted.

"I hope." Meng Jiao sighed. White Deer Academy is the most competitive right now, and many people are trying their best to stay. By the way, you can get three times the salary of ordinary farmers by doing some paperwork. Who wouldn't want to stay?

"By the way, sister, I'm here to inquire this time. It's Mr. Wen who teaches our Huzi. How is she? Can she pass this assessment?"

Hearing this, Meng Jiao smiled and said, "Master Wenqing? Of course she's fine. She's ranked first in several quizzes, especially in painting and calligraphy. No man can compare to her, you guys are lucky to be able to study under her door."

"That's good, that's good!" Mrs. Sun's eyes lit up when she heard this. She used to think that this female teacher taught well, but she didn't expect to be so good that she couldn't even compare with other people. Then her son is really right. teacher.

In the evening, besides the shoes, I also bring some sugar to the village. Now I will give you sugar. After all, sugar is rare and it is the hardest currency in the village. Two taels of sugar can be exchanged for several fat fish!
"When my family's Shanshan grows up, I also want to send her to Master Wen for enlightenment in two years."

"That's a good relationship!" Mrs. Sun looked at the little girl with a smile all over her face. In the past three months, she looked at this haggard little girl, from sallow and thin to white, tender and chubby, and she liked it very much in her heart. There is nothing good for the daughter, and she is the most irresistible to this cute little girl, which is why she is willing to help take care of the child.

"Still Shanshan is well-behaved. I will be just like you when I study in the future. Either I will be a clerk or a teacher. Both are enviable identities. I will not live up to that idiot. Let him study hard and strive for the opportunity to pass the exam in the future." White Deer Academy, but he wants to go to that Tiance Academy to serve as a soldier."

"Huzi wants to go to Tiance Academy?" Meng Jiao was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, "It's not easy to go. Tiance Academy gives priority to children from military households. Outsiders who want to go not only study well, but also have to practice martial arts since childhood. It is said that according to the According to the new regulations, if children want to enter Tiance Academy in the future, they must at least know the same basic weapon posture, but it is not easy to go."

"Is it so difficult?" Mrs. Sun was taken aback for a moment. Although she said she would not allow her child to take the exam there, she knew in her heart that her child was stubborn and her husband secretly supported her. She was afraid that she couldn't stop it, but if she knew how difficult it was to get in , I don't know if I will be disappointed
"Practice martial arts." Madam Sun lowered her head and said, "We country kids, where can we get a master to teach them martial arts?"

"It is said that after surveying the topography of the island, the adults will come back and organize special instructors to teach the children who are interested in martial arts!"

"Oh?" Madam Sun's eyes lit up at these words: "Is it also free?"

"Free is free, but you have to eat meat to practice martial arts, so you have to bear it yourself!"

"What's the point?" Mrs. Sun puffed up her chest immediately: "Our guy said that this year there will be a hundred shi of grain left, so it's not a big problem to replace it with some meat. Who can't afford meat now?"

"It's not ordinary meat." Meng Jiao shook her head, "It has to be beef and the kind of dragon fish meat raised by Mr. Chen in the village!"

"You eat every day?" Mrs. Sun took a deep breath.

Two months ago, beef cattle kept coming in from the village, and Mr. Zhang Yuanshan would replace them every time. Most of them were used as farming cattle. These cattle are fat and gentle. After several times of training, they have basically become qualified. Now there is one cattle per [-] mu of land, and several families contract one together, but they have to be responsible for feeding the cattle together so that the cattle do not lose weight. The clerk is responsible for registration, and my family contracts one with the other two.

There is also a small part used as a meat supplement, but the price is very expensive, several times the price of the mountain porpoise hunted in the mountains. My family only occasionally changes it to try something new, and few can afford to eat it every day!
Not to mention the fish raised in the fishpond of Mr. Chen’s house, which is different from the fish caught in the sea. The fish raised in his house are bright red and delicious. Eating one can refresh people for several days, but the price is too expensive , one would be exchanged for four taels of white sugar, which is almost ten times the price of ordinary sea fish. I bought it for my children and husband last month, and I felt so distressed. I eat it every day. What a prodigal.

"It's quite expensive." Meng Jiao said with a smile: "So if you want to learn martial arts, Huzi should do it as early as possible. I heard from Mr. Wei that the military households give priority to free beef, and the fish from Mr. Chen's family also give priority to military households. The adults use soldiers. There are many places, and the treatment of joining the army will only be better in the future.”

"I know that." Mrs. Sun curled her lips. Many people in the village were dissatisfied. The treatment of soldiers seems to be too good now, better than the wives who study. Most of the fish in Mr. Chen's house are directly used to supply the army. For households, only a small part is sold, so the supply is in short supply and the sales are extremely expensive!
"But as you said, isn't it only the children of military households who can practice martial arts?"

"That's not true," Meng Jiao said with a smile: "My lord will set up a martial arts academy when you come back. Besides the children of military households, other families who are interested can also send them in. It is said that in the first year there, beef and fish are provided by the government. , if you get good grades and are recognized as a martial arts student, you can always enjoy the rationed meat, but if you are eliminated, you have to pay for it yourself!"

"This..." Hearing this, Mrs. Sun was a little moved.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Meng Jiao knew that the other party was tempted, and then she smiled and said, "You might as well go back and discuss it. If your son is determined to go that way, you can send him to try it. Children, it's just a whim." , I feel that joining the army is awe-inspiring, I go in for training for a year, and I have endured hardships, maybe I won’t think so. If it’s this seedling, let’s talk about it later.”

"Is that so?" Mrs. Sun became more and more motivated, because it doesn't seem to be a disadvantage if you go in and try it, at least you can eat good meat for free for a year, right?It's good to be able to take care of your body.

Well, discuss it with the head of the family when you get home.

"But if you go there, will you have to delay studying here?"

"No." Meng Jiao shook her head: "Tiance Academy also has to take cultural courses, even if you go to the martial arts academy, you have to practice well the enlightenment homework. I heard that you go to the martial arts academy in the morning, and in the afternoon you go back to the enlightenment master to continue learning. arts."

"That's it, that's not bad." Mrs. Sun put her heart into her stomach when she heard this. It doesn't delay homework, and there are many good things to do, so I can really think about it.

"When can I sign up?"

"This will have to wait until your lord comes back. Well, don't worry, Mrs. Sun. I'll get you some news when the time comes."

"Then please, girl."

"You're welcome"

On the other side, on the top of the mountain, Jiang Sheng gathered a group of people to discuss matters concerning the island survey.

In the past three months, not only the people's livelihood has been on the right track, but the army has also gradually improved.

Today, there are 300 soldiers in total, [-] of whom are special arms who have accepted the soldiers!

The Hundred Flowers Ape Soldier headed by Hou Xiaonian has expanded to 50 people, the Shrimp Spirit Army headed by Zhang Yuanshan has expanded to 150 people, and the remaining 50 people, [-] people have been implanted with White Deer and Green Ape, and the remaining [-] people have been implanted with each other. A variety of intermediate arms.

With such power, Jiang Sheng felt that simple survey and exploration should not be a big problem, as long as he was not surrounded by [-] people, he should be able to escape unscathed.

So I decided to enter the island before midsummer!

　Tomorrow and the next two days there will be additional updates respectively. Tomorrow there will be at least four updates. The day after tomorrow will depend on the situation. We will try our best to repay the big debt owed by the leader before the end of the month.

　　 The rhythm behind will be accelerated
