Chapter 1348 On the Road
In the train carriage, scholars of various schools of thought were talking, and suddenly someone shifted the topic to the great teacher: "If you go to the great teacher, you will definitely be able to show your strengths, and the three hundred cities on the coast of the East China Sea are all fiefdoms of the great teachers, and there is a lack of talents." Obviously, this person's concept has not changed, and he thinks that the imperial examination is a way for Duran to attract customers.
In fact, as Duran's reputation grew, more and more people came to Duran to join him, but Duran had never summoned them, and he didn't need a doorman.
"The great master has the means to the sky, he can move the golden man, and he built this train that can transport goods and people, these tricks are unheard of. It is rumored that the great master can still fly in the clouds, and that is a real heavenly person. "He did not open the imperial examination to recruit talents for himself, but for the sake of the monarch and the country. "This person can see it more thoroughly.
Zhao Hao no longer pretended to read, but listened to them carefully. Although he was a scholar, he had never had the opportunity to leave Xianyang City, and he was definitely not the most knowledgeable in the carriage.
According to Zhao Hao's observation, the most knowledgeable person in the carriage should be the middle-aged man who said that Duran was worried about the monarch, he looked like he was in his early thirties, dressed plainly, like a farmer-born poor man, and he could see that he was a hard-working person. But his words and demeanor are so insightful that people can't help but admire.
"Xiao He, I don't agree with you, if it weren't for the great teacher, why would you resign and go to the imperial examination instead?"
Zhao Hao knew that this person's name was Xiao He, and he had also been an official, but it really didn't look like it. The officials Zhao Hao saw in the past were all poor and luxurious, where could they be so simple.
That's because Xiao He is just a small magistrate, and he is not the biggest. In fact, Xiao He was originally just a person who coveted stability, he lived a good life in Pei County, although the conscription was getting heavier and heavier, but he was not dissatisfied. But during this period of time, he repeatedly met a flying bear and an old man fishing in his dream, which made Xiao He unable to sleep.
Legend has it that King Wen of Zhou dreamed of a flying bear before he went hunting, so he asked the fortune teller what he would catch during this hunt. The fortune teller replied: There is a big harvest, but this receipt is 'neither dragon nor tiger, neither tiger nor tiger'.
So King Wen of Zhou went hunting, met Jiang Taigong, and got a great talent, which is indeed a big harvest, and this big harvest is indeed not an animal but a person.
So Xiao He suspected that the old man fishing in the dream was Jiang Taigong, and once in the dream he had the courage to ask who the old man was. The old man just smiled and pointed to the east.
In order to unravel the answer, Xiao He resolutely resigned, originally he was not going to take the train, because Pei County is in Jiangsu, and it is not very far from Qilu Shandong. However, the old man in the dream instructed him to walk more and see more, and to learn more about the customs and customs of Daqin, so Xiao He took a long detour.
When he arrived in Xianyang, the old man in the dream instructed Xiao He to participate in the imperial examination, so that he would get on the train. And there were a few people on the train that Xiao He had known since he was in the hotel, and he mentioned what he had done before.
What he saw and heard along the way also opened Xiao He's eyes, so he did not exclude participating in the imperial examination, and it would not be a bad thing if he could mix up an official and a half-job. Xiao He is also old and young, and his family was not very satisfied with his resignation before, but if he can be a bigger official, his family will also be happy.
"Participating in the imperial examination is called upon by the great teachers, and the selection of talents for the Qin State will not be confined to the old rules. I have heard that the people who take refuge in Songhai City are like carp crossing the river, if they are really choosing doormen, why bother. You must know that the imperial examination made the great teachers stand on the opposite side of the old Qin people, and the gains outweighed the losses. "Xiao He is already smart, and he has seen a lot of things along the way, so it is reasonable to analyze the problem.
"Well said. Zhao Hao finally stood up: "I am the old Qin people of Xianyang, my father is the Xianyang Ling, the old Qin people do hate the great teacher to the core, but I think that the imperial examination of the great teacher is for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is definitely not favoritism." ”
Zhao Hao is not very old, but the identity of the old Qin people is enough to prove Xiao He.
Xiao He is the same age as Liu Bang, only a few years younger than Qin Shi Huang. Although the Qin and Han dynasties alternated, there was a dispute between Chu and Han in the middle, but Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, was not a young man, he began to raise troops in his forties, and it took seven years to establish the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was only three years younger than Qin Shi Huang, they were a generation, but two dynasties.
Xiao He and Liu Bang are of the same age and are also the same age.
Xiao He nodded politely to Zhao Hao, a young man, he had already discovered this young man who had been pretending to read.
"Under Zhao Hao, Brother Xiao, I admire you. Zhao Hao said excitedly, he felt that Xiao He was well-informed and different from others.
Xiao He couldn't cry or laugh, what he did was admired by this young man? But he also found that this Zhao Hao was probably the first time to walk out of Xianyang, and he was a young man who came out of the ivory tower, so he admired himself when he heard what he had seen and heard.
"I don't dare to be, I still have a lot to learn, and we all make progress together. Xiao He said modestly: "Are you reading "Spring and Autumn"?"
"Well, the bamboo slips are too heavy, so I only brought the first two volumes. ”
Xiao He nodded: "Bamboo slips are indeed inconvenient, but I heard that there are already lighter and thinner books in Songhai City, although I haven't seen it, but I heard that this kind of book called paper books, including famous works from all over the world, is a person named Google is sorting out, he translated the book of the Six Kingdoms into the small seal of the Qin State, and the hundred schools of thought will be more popular in the future." ”
Since the people here are all here to participate in the imperial examination, they will naturally not have doubts about the implementation of the small seal by the Qin State, but will vigorously support it.
When it comes to Google, everyone is also interested, and at this time, someone took out a book like a treasure: "I happen to have a copy of Google Translate Chu State's "Lisao" here, the words are gorgeous, and every time I read it, it is like immersing myself in a mountain spring, refreshing and comfortable. ”
Everyone nodded their heads again and again, full of praise for Google, and the atmosphere was good. They think that Google is their real name, and they have no doubts, but praise Google for its beautiful name.
In the heated discussion, the group has come to Songhai from Xianyang, and it is not an exaggeration to travel a thousand miles a day.
The tall walls of Songhai City are still the same, but there are many more factories outside the city that process wood, and there are not too many ships for the ship Duran.
Looking at this busy scene, everyone was very curious, because there was no such fast pace of life in the Great Qin Kingdom, and everyone found that the people here walked in the wind, as if there were wild beasts chasing them behind them.
And here you can see all kinds of wooden signs with words written on them, pointing the way for pedestrians, and a glimpse of Songhai City makes people discover the strangeness of the difference, and people can't help but want to know more about the city.
