Zhurou

Chapter 176
After all, Zhan Maotai still had a little bit of brain left, and he went forward together with his classmates before and after, and when the ceremony was over, he moved his feet in a daze, as if it had been a long time, and it seemed that it was only a moment, and finally woke up.

When the princess guard of honor entered the city, it didn’t catch up with Xiu Mu’s day. He was still attending classes at the Guozi Academy, so naturally he didn’t have the chance to see it with his own eyes. Later, although he often heard rumors from others, they all said that His Highness is unparalleled in beauty and peerless. , but if you want to ask again, you can't tell why.

He just took it as five-point appearance and five-point appearance—after all, in the past, there were always people who praised the late emperor for his brilliance and martial arts, who judged things sagely, and there were countless poems in the literary world. up.

Now that I saw it, I realized that the rumors were not exaggerated, on the contrary, they were far worse than the real ones.He saw it with his own eyes at this time, and he thought that the article could be called a flower cluster, but he couldn't write any descriptions or praises for a while. He only felt that this character was so beautiful and beautiful, so natural that it was difficult to describe it in words.

"Maotai? Maotai!"

While in a trance, Zhan Maotai suddenly heard someone calling in a low voice not far away.

He followed the prestige, only to realize that he had been standing side by side with several people in front of the crowd at some time.

Opposite him is his original seat, and now there is a person sitting on it, wearing a narrow-sleeved cloth shirt, who is the princess of the current dynasty who he just saw in a daze.

And the princess looked at him at this moment, and asked aloud: "Are you Zhan Maotai?"

He said again: "I see that Qin Tianjian reported the number of dry firewood and hay that is sent to Xuzhou every day. Are you here to calculate?"

Zhan Maotai nodded hurriedly at first, and then he was shocked when he heard the last sentence. He stood up straight, and he didn't know the intention of the person opposite him. Some simple calculations—I don’t know if there’s something wrong with it?”

Zhao Mingzhi held the calculation manuscript handed over by others in one hand, and held the newly arrived booklet in the other hand. He turned to the back to look at the details of the division of labor. He reacts.

She glanced at it, and after thinking about it for a while, she realized that it was caused by her endless questioning just now, so she replied with judo: "It's not wrong, I just pay attention to the reply from the front line for a while. In the past, there was a slowdown in supplies for going north a few days ago, and people came back to check and found out that it was all thanks to you..."

"Zhan Maotai, Qu Yingcai, Shi Lang..."

Zhao Mingzhi didn't need to look at the roster in his hand, he just opened his mouth and counted the names of eight or nine people.

Her tone is calm, and her tone is three points slower than usual, and she reads very seriously, so that people can tell the solemnity as soon as she hears it.

Those who were named were all surprised and delighted. When one was named, one stood out from the crowd and quickly lined up in front of the table.

But the students in the next room had heard the commotion here, and they were panicked at first. After learning the ins and outs, they couldn't sit still, so they hurried over and surrounded this small room with three floors inside and three floors outside. .

Zhao Mingzhi was not in a hurry, he first comforted everyone and then praised them.

She didn't talk in general, she called out the name of a person first, although she didn't know the age, place of origin, experience, and origin of the person, she knew a lot, and after a few chats, she led the conversation to the matter that the other party was responsible for or participated in. , Ask carefully about the method of calculation, although it is non-committal, but it can be discussed back and forth with people on the relationship, caliber, and framework.

Zhan Maotai, who was on the side, couldn't help sneaking a glimpse at the princess's face. After hearing this, he couldn't help but be drawn by Zhao Mingzhi's topic, and listened intently to her discussion with other students.

In this way, there is no need for a cup of tea, and almost everyone in the field is a student. They have always dealt with numbers, but anyone who has some ability can gradually hear that this princess is very good at arithmetic. He was bluffed by that posture early on.

And after Zhao Mingzhi finished talking one by one, he asked everyone what difficulties they had and what troubles they had.

The students looked at each other in blank dismay, several times someone wanted to speak, but hesitated.

Zhan Maotai hesitated for a while, and finally said boldly: "Student has something to ask for advice—if the capital really moves south in the future, what is the arrangement?"

When he said this, his voice was lowered, and his face was a little embarrassed.

As soon as this question was raised, there were buzzing noises inside and outside the house, some booed Zhan Maotai, some glared at him, some remained silent, although they couldn't look directly at Zhao Mingzhi, they turned their bodies sideways to her and waited for an answer, and some Some stopped the people around them from coming forward.

Seeing that the scene was a bit chaotic, the guards and soldiers in plain clothes stepped forward a few steps to stop the crowd, but Pei Yong, who had been standing behind Zhao Mingzhi, half-hidden in the shadows, raised his head, looked at each other, and Shake your head slightly.

His subordinates got the signal and didn't dare to move any more, and retreated back to their original positions. As for the rest of the imperial guards, they hesitated for a moment, seeing them advancing and retreating, but not Zhao Mingzhi's advancing and retreating, they had no choice but to retreat, but several of them couldn't help but put their hands on their waists To explore the sharp weapon.

Zhao Mingzhi turned a blind eye to these many movements, and still sat upright, saying: "That's a good question."

"Although in my opinion, there will never be that day, but if the capital really moves south in the future, the people in the city will naturally have to be moved first, but everyone..." She said, the smile on her face gradually subsiding , "If you have no special exceptions, I'm afraid you will be a step late."

After hearing her words, there were still some trivial noises in the field, but at this moment, everyone held their breaths and concentrated, no one made a sound, and their faces showed expressions of surprise and fear.

"Although the capital has been moved, the capital cannot just give up. People should be garrisoned to guard against the enemy coming from the north. If they are all evacuated, the strong and brave soldiers will naturally have no fear. What about ordinary old and weak women and children?"

"Since the generals are staying, the government office cannot be withdrawn. There are so many people in the city, and Xuzhou in the north is still waiting for help. Since you are studying in Guozixue, although you have no officials, you are only a layer of clothes to distinguish you from officials. ..."

Hearing this, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "But those officials are already in Caizhou!"

There is a lot of resentment in the words.

Zhao Mingzhi didn't look at him, didn't even look in the direction of the voice, he just raised his chin slightly, and said slowly: "If there is a day when the capital is really moved, His Majesty will come here to sit in town. In the end—there’s always someone surnamed Zhao.”

Although her voice was not loud, she spoke every word clearly.

This sentence is so shocking that people dare not believe it, but they have to believe it.

There was no one talking inside or outside the house, and it was almost audible to drop a needle.

Zhao Mingzhi put down the Chinese book in his hand, only looked at the crowd on the left and right, and said with a smile: "Of course, this matter is not forced. You can also go south with the rest of the people, but if you can stay in Beijing to help..."
