In Kyoto, when the palace guards posted the imperial billboards at the city gate and in conspicuous positions in the streets and alleys, people soon surrounded them.

In the early years, it was actually rare to see the posting of the emperor list.

When the first emperor was in power, he only searched for famous doctors and only posted it once when he was treating a little princess in the palace.

Later, His Majesty opened an academy of calculations, but often posted such notices to search for folk craftsmen, and to this day, the people are no longer surprised by this.

Some readers who have already passed by have interpreted the content on the emperor's list, which has attracted a lot of discussion.

This time, His Majesty wants to recruit highly skilled blacksmiths within the Panorama Country, and it is said that those who have a family can also receive a one-entry courtyard in Kyoto Castle, and in addition, they can also receive a monthly subsidy from the state.

If you are a well-known master craftsman, you may even find a position in the Academy of Sciences, and from then on you will shine on the lintel, ascend to the sky in one step, and smoke will rise from the ancestral tomb......

In short, as long as you have a skill, in this Kyoto, in this Jingguo, you can live very well, even if you are an old farmer, as long as the land is better than others, the harvest is more than others, there are some people from the Academy of Sciences, officials are willing to call you sir, humbly ask you questions......

A gentleman in a green shirt looked at the imperial list posted on the city wall, and then looked at the book he had just bought, and sighed leisurely.

What he has in his hand is this year's imperial examination question book, which cost him a lot of money and a lot of connections to buy it.

A blacksmith can still get the treatment of food, shelter and marriage, but it is pitiful that he failed to pass the imperial examination and was crowned, but he has not yet started a family, and he has not even touched a woman's hand......

I can't say that I haven't touched it, but when I was shopping for vegetables yesterday, the lady who sold vegetables also touched him......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad, slammed the book in his hand on the ground, and strode away.

Ten years of cold window is not as good as ten years of iron, what is the use of him reading this Laoshzi's book?

After walking a few steps, he turned his head and walked back, picked up the book on the ground, patted the dust on it, and carefully carried it in his arms.

Books still have to be read, even if you don't become a blacksmith after passing the exam, a blacksmith who has read books, and a blacksmith who can only make iron, who has a brighter future, don't even think about it......

What's more, this thing costs a lot of silver......

……

Blacksmith Xu is an ordinary blacksmith in Kyoto Castle, he originally had a name, but the neighbors have been calling him "Blacksmith Xu" and "Blacksmith Xu" for decades, and he himself can't remember how long no one has mentioned his real name.

He had just returned from walking around the city wall, and naturally learned the latest news, and he had been looking forward to the blacksmith's spring for a long time......

The carpenter Wang next door entered the Academy of Sciences two years ago, although he was only doing miscellaneous work under the hands of those master craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering, but this year he also built a courtyard with two entrances, and ordered a family affair for the stupid son of the family, and the bride passed the door this year, and the life was enviable.

The old rascal who resold the picture of the spring palace diagonally, with the ability to know what others said by looking at people's lips with one hand, is now living a very comfortable life, it is said that he is a gentleman in the Academy of Sciences, a group of disciples under him, and he also listens to his own boasting, he has even taught His Majesty today......

Blacksmith Xu's son is still young, and he is not in a hurry to marry him, a blacksmith, he has never had the luxury of being a gentleman for His Majesty, he can earn more silver, and make the family of three more comfortable, which is all his long-cherished wishes.

glanced at his son who was playing outside the door, he didn't strike iron, leaned back comfortably on the chair, and took a sip of the good wine that had just come back from the liquor store......

Outside the door, a few young children were running happily through the streets.

"Eat me a slap in the face of the wind god leg!"

"I'll be in the clouds!"

"I've got a Snow Drinker Knife!"

"I still have a peerless sword!"

……

Children's world is always carefree, they are not yet old enough to read, and all they think about every day is probably eating and playing, and maybe sneaking out to listen to stories......

Goolan is the most magical place in their hearts, where there are monkeys wielding sticks to hit the thirty-three heavens, there are all kinds of immortals and gods they have not heard of, and there are many martial arts masters, heroic deeds of chivalrous heroes......

After listening to the story in the tick bar, several partners played their favorite roles with each other, and it was a trick that they never tired of recreating the stories they heard.

What they are acting at the moment is a new story launched by Goulan, the plot in "Fengyun".

Wind god legs, cloud palms, snow drinking crazy knives, peerless good swords......

Each of them has a heroic dream in their hearts, learning a peerless martial arts, practicing chivalry, punishing the strong and eliminating evil, and fighting with swords......

That's what the story says.

Of course, since he is a hero, he must have a weapon at hand, a martial arts move that sounds very powerful, and a horse, the horse must be beautiful, preferably tall and big, so that Zhang Xiaohua from Zhang Yuan's family will ride the same horse as himself......

Zhang Xiaohua is at Zhang Yuanwai's house, there are no handsome horses, and there are no weapons, I don't know where the old man said "Baijian Villa" is, I heard that there are a lot of peerless divine soldiers there, if you can get one......

……

"Brother Huang, don't be angry...... Shou Ning played with the dagger in his hand, looked at Li Xuan, and said: "Mr. once said that simplicity is beauty, you see how simple and crisp this dagger is, the scabbard is simple, and the curve of the blade is smooth......"

Simplicity is beauty, and of course Li Xuan understands this truth.

However, when Shou Ning comforted him with these words, could he not walk around, so that the long sword she was holding in her other hand, and the gems on the scabbard flashed so that he couldn't open his eyes.

Li Xuan looked at her with a serious expression and asked, "Then why don't we change it?" ”

Shou Ning was stunned, and said in surprise: "But Brother Huang, this sword is a woman's ......."

"I don't dislike it." Li Xuan looked at her and said, "That simple and beautiful dagger will be given to you." ”

"Brother Huang is serious?"

"Seriously."

"No."

The pretty woman threw down a word, simply turned away, and walked out of the main hall without looking back once.

Li Xuan sat back down, looking at the dagger on the table and getting angry.

I thought it was a unique divine soldier------ but I didn't think wrong, it was indeed unique, and among the three gifts he sent, this one was the most special, the simplest, and the most shabby......

Shortest.

He has self-knowledge in his heart, so he will not compare with Mingzhu, so as not to humiliate himself, but Shou Ning ......

Thinking of the girl just now......

Forget it, Shou Ning is no longer comparable, he is still humiliating himself.

Thinking about it this way, I feel a little more comfortable in my heart.

Then he opened another letter.

"Worship Sword Villa, a group of peerless divine soldiers......"

After reading the letter, he probably understood what Li Yi wanted to do.

If he is a shepherd, then the officials and magnates in Kyoto are the fat sheep raised by his family.

A few years ago, he used those glazes to make these fat sheep shed a layer of wool, and now that the new wool has grown, he is here again.

He is the emperor, those people are his own subjects, although it is easy for them to make money, but they can't let him be fooled three times or twice.

If it weren't for the fact that the Academy of Sciences had several big projects that needed funds, if it weren't for the fact that his second child was about to be born, and if it weren't for Mingzhu not letting him spend the money in the treasury indiscriminately, he would never agree to Li Yi doing this.

He walked outside the door and said to one of the guards, "Tell them that twenty-eight points is not good, at least thirty-seven!" ”

……

Kyoto, the gate of the city.

Several carriages came from a distance, and before entering the city, they were stopped by the guards at the city gates.

One of the leading generals stepped forward and asked, "What's in the car?" ”

A man smiled and said, "Some goods." ”

"What cargo?" The general lifted the black cloth covering the carriage, opened a box and looked at it, and his face changed.

He opened a few more boxes, his face sank, he took a few steps back, waved his hand, and the guards behind him saw this, and immediately surrounded the carriages.

The general stepped forward and asked, "Is there a court seal?" ”

Selling weapons is a big crime, not to mention that the number is so large, if there is no imperial seal, these people must be taken down for interrogation immediately.

"Naturally, there is." The leader nodded, took out something resembling silk from his sleeve, and handed it over.

The general examined it carefully, waved his hand, and the guard behind him stepped back.

Several carriages drove into the city gate, and the general, who was still a little uneasy, stepped forward and asked, "Where did these things come from?" ”

In front of the carriage, the man turned his head and said with a smile: "Worship Sword Villa!" ”
