Ten years of great cause, it is another spring coming, Luopu plumbing ducks chirping.

A large number of passenger and cargo ships through Luoshui Luopu gathered in Luopu, and the passenger and cargo were diverted in front of a water gate, and the passenger ships could go directly to Luopu Wharf, and through the wharf to Luoyang Waiguo. Cargo ships can only dock at fixed freight terminals, and after handling customs declaration documents, the goods can be landed and put into warehouses and sold in various markets between Heluo.

Due to the large number of cargo ships waiting in line to enter the gate, many cargo ships can only suspend the queue on the water, while some small sampans shuttle between the cargo ships to ferry the first ashore and handle customs declarations, and then the cargo ships can be directly unloaded at the gate to save time.

In such a lively atmosphere, a ferry carries three passengers, nimbly shuttling between cargo ships. The captain with the oar steered the boat nimbly, but it did not affect his vision, and he looked at several passengers curiously.

Since the founding of the Great Liang, the country has been thriving, and even the people of Jinai have exuded a heartiness and self-confidence, even if this captain is just a ferryman, but he does not feel much lower than these well-dressed distant passengers.

One of the outward manifestations of self-confidence is that he is talkative, and the captain looked at the passengers for a moment, listening to their dialect conversation, and couldn't help but interject: "A few distinguished guests from Jingnan?" ”

The three of them were not annoyed when their conversation was interrupted, but they were often interested, and one of them, a middle-aged man in a short brocade robe, asked with a smile in a slightly rusty Luo Shengya language: "The boat family also knows Chu Yin?" ”

The captain grinned: "Tiannan and Haibei, Shangluo in all directions, the argument is arguable, but the listener can't understand." ”

The middle-aged man seemed to have an interest in talking, approached the captain and talked with him, the topic gradually opened up, and began to ask Luozhong how various business conditions in recent years were, but he was not a frequent visitor to Luoshang after all, and occasionally said a few words of rural voice, and I didn't know how to express it in Luosheng, smiled a little apologetically, pointed to a young man in a green robe on the other side and said: "I want to have Lao Zi Ming Dynasty to spread my voice." ”

The young man's eyes were slightly convex, and his appearance was not handsome, but he had a vigorous spirit, and he stepped forward to stand between the middle-aged man and the captain to speak for each other.

After another exchange, the captain looked the young man up and down in some surprise, and said, "Lang Jun has a dignified voice, but he can't hear the local accent. ”

As soon as these words came out, the other two people on the boat all clapped their hands and laughed: "The boatman is really interesting, and he can see that my hometown is extraordinary." Ziming is a state school handsome, and he was the state junior in the state examination list last year! ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the young man were already in awe, not as casual as before, and there seemed to be a trace of elegance between his eyebrows and eyes: "What a blessing!" Lao Suo's broken boat can actually carry a young sage! ”

The young man smiled modestly and nodded to the captain.

The captain still looked at the young man eagerly, and his mouth uttered a self-muttering chatter: "Lang Jun is going to Luozhong this time, must be in response to this year's Luozhong scientific examination?" This is not right, in the autumn of last year, the sage sent an edict to other states, and all the states listed people who have aspirations for spring, but they have their own buses to send them to Luo, why did Lang Jun ......"

"The Jingzhou bus departed a year ago, and it happened that Ziming's family was sick and missed, so he could only catch us and wait for Jia ...... after the year."

Hearing the middle-aged man's explanation, the captain suddenly took advantage of the ferry to enter the straight, and hurriedly crossed his hands and said to the young man: "I am still a benevolent and filial piety Langjun, Lao Suo is lucky, congratulations to Lang Jun on the list and win the top prize!" ”

The young man smiled and thanked him, and when he saw that the public was talking about it strongly, he couldn't help but inquire about the scientific expedition. Although he is a state examiner, and the teacher in the school also has teachings, when it comes to understanding the details, he is not as good as the native of Luodu.

Gong Gong seems to be proud of being able to solve doubts for talented people, and naturally knows everything: "The Son of Heaven is a talented man, and the sea is happy." At the beginning of the third year of the great cause, today's saints have made scientific examiners and recruited the virtuous people in the United States. For example, one of the city supervisors surnamed Liu who needed to enter the market for customs declaration after the distinguished guests landed on the shore was the tribute of the agricultural and mulberry economic department the year before last. Until this year, the saint was gracious, and then opened the regular branch to take the ......"

"What is the difference between the name of this system and the name of the regular department?"

The other two people on the boat couldn't help but ask curiously when they heard the captain's story.

This time, there was no need for the captain to answer, so the young man saluted Bei and said: "The so-called system is to be determined by specialists. In the past three years, the sage has repeatedly asked for talents to promote the affairs of the Communist Party, for example, in the eight years of the great cause, he has made three departments to take scholars, and the old man said that the agricultural and mulberry economics is only one of the subjects, and the agricultural mulberry, economic affairs, and other talents are able to inspect and confer ministry. In addition, the Sichuan Ze Geography Department selects talents such as Kanyu and water control to save talents for the imperial court, and will rejuvenate the prosperous era of Emperor Yu, repair and govern hundreds of rivers, and connect rivers and rivers......"

"So, the imperial court is going to build the Grand Canal, is this rumor true?"

The other two boat passengers, who are Jingzhou businessmen, heard the young man say this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, the construction of the Grand Canal has been rumored in the country for many years, but it has never been realized, although there have been many water conservancy construction in recent years, but there is still a big gap compared to the connection of the river. For example, when they traveled north, either by boat or car, by land and water, it would cost a lot to change the means of transportation. Once there are rumors that the Grand Canal can communicate with the rivers, it is expected that in the future, the north-south movement will be smoother.

Of course, they naturally didn't know that from the imperial court to summon experts, survey the edge, and then come up with plans, calculate projects, and reserve workers, without years or even more than ten years of preparation, such a huge project could not be lightly opened. So the kind of beautiful prospect they imagined of a direct boat trip to the river would be difficult to achieve, at least in the last decade.

The young man smiled, and waited until the two of them recovered slightly, and then continued: "The system is just an occasional case of time and events, as for this year's spring and regular department, it is customized by the national dynasty. This year is the first time that the permanent branch has been selected, and the next one will be three years later. Therefore, the younger generation really wants to thank Mr. Zhu, if it were not for Your Excellency's righteousness to bring me to Luo, the younger generation is afraid that it will take three years to have the honor of doing my best for the country. ”

"Zi Ming said seriously, along the way, I have also benefited a lot from you. Lingzun Township is old and strong, if it is not sheltered and thoughtful in the year of Shu, my family Qilang may die in Shudao, this is a convenient benefit, you have to thank you frequently, after returning home, I will not have the face to see Ling Zun again! ”

The middle-aged man twisted his beard and laughed, looking at the young man with more approval.

The young man's name is Wan Xin, his family is a northerner, settled in Jingzhou South County, his father's name is Wan Ming, although he has no ability to govern the industry, but his courage is considerable. In the second year of the great cause, Shen Yun, the king of Runan, was ordered by the sage to lead a large army to crusade against Shu Zhongchenghan, and the villagers of Nanjun were mostly in the list of recruiting to help the war, Wan Ming accumulated small merits in the process of accompanying the army, and after the Shu affairs were decided, he was awarded the head of the county township.

This Wan Xin was educated at home, and when he grew up, he entered the township to study in Mongolia, and then he was included in the state school, and was admitted to the state test in the autumn of last year.

In fact, the captain praised him for both benevolence and filial piety, and Wan Xin was guilty. The reason why he missed the state school bus was not because of the illness of his parents, but because his father Wan Ming did not approve of him taking the exam in Luo, and even detained him directly at home.

The old father was stubborn, only saying that the power of public affairs has always been privately granted, and the so-called imperial examination can not confuse the world, and he does not want his children to be bewitched by this and stay away from the countryside. But Wan Xin completely disagreed with his father's views, not to mention that today's saints are majestic and majestic, and they have repeatedly promoted great policies that their predecessors could not do.

If it weren't for the fact that the previous few years were all about Wanxin's specialization, he would have been unable to hold back his impatient heart and would have left home to go to Luo. Today's grace is even more blazing, not just the transfer of the system, but the regular customized taker, it is said that the subjects opened are more than a dozen items, even if one subject is not in the subject, is the subject not in the subject?

Wan Xin naturally didn't want to miss this big opportunity, he really didn't want to stay in the same way as his father, otherwise what was the point of what he had learned all year round?

So taking advantage of the frequent township affairs in the New Year, the old father was rarely at home, directly smashed the fence of the house, jumped out of the wall, and left home in a hurry with only his person and state school status.

However, Wan Xin didn't know that not long after he jumped over the wall and left home, the old father heard the news and returned home, looking at the window smashed by his son for a long time, the old wife stood aside a little at a loss, and after a while, his father Wan Ming jumped to his feet and scolded: "This raccoon dog is not enough to eat my life, and even my son has to be bewitched by it as a dog and horse!" ”

The scolding has been scolded, but the son's ass still has to be wiped. Wan Ming asked people to clean up the door, and then ordered his wife to quickly clean up some floating wealth in the family, and went to visit the Jiahu in the township with him, which gave Wan Xin the experience of meeting the villagers and going north smoothly.

The group went to the wharf, Wan Xin first asked the city supervisor about the location of the Shangluo Juren in Jingzhou, and the officials learned that he was a lone state trial person, and they were also very enthusiastic about him, and they took the initiative to lead the way for Wan Xin.

As for Wanxin's villagers, they were busy with their own business, and they were not regular visitors to Luoshang, seeing that the officials were so enthusiastic and had a guarantee of official status, they also entrusted Wanxin to them, but they transferred the wealth of their father Wanming to them in a secret place.

With the guidance of Luoyang locals, the key is that Wan Xin's move to take effect is that Wan Xin's process of entering Luoyang is very smooth.

When handling the exile, Wan Xin also carefully observed, only to see that other people outside the Luoyang County Office who entered the Luoyang County Office to handle the residence and temporarily lived in Luoyang were still in a long queue, and he was able to go straight to the office, and everything was done in two quarters of an hour before and after, and this piece of residence paper was also slightly different from others, others were just a blank piece of paper to indicate their place of origin and temporary stay time, but he was a piece of gold bamboo paper, and there was no fixed period of temporary residence.

"In recent years, there have been many people in Luoyang, and Lang Jun has obtained this gold book, which is no different from the registered households in Luoyang. If your township has a township and a township is built first, you can get a lot of care. ”

The city supervisor who was in charge of guiding the way enthusiastically explained some of Luoyang's rules and taboos to Wan Xin, Wan Xin listened, but was soon attracted by the prosperity of Luoyang City.

Luozhong 81 square, grand and prosperous, far from the humble countryside can be compared. Due to the first spring scientific expedition this year, there are not a few young and handsome people from all over the country who are rushing to Shangluo like Wanxin, and they are all as vigorous as Wanxin, and they are full of hope for the future.

Walking in this prosperous capital, Wan Xin felt that he had chosen the right one, if he really listened to his father's words and died in the countryside, it would really be in vain to live up to this life!

Although Luoyang is prosperous, the price is also extremely high, Wan Xin Xiaozuo inquired, or decided to trouble the subordinate officials to lead him to Longmen in the south of the city. It is said that the bus lifters from all the states are concentrated there, and their Jingzhou lifters are certainly no exception. And listening to what the subordinate officials said, Longmen has its own schools gathered, and the style of learning is strong, and even the subordinate halls, courtyards, and halls of Guozijian are in the sky, and they also take care of their students.

There is an open road between Longmen and Luoyang City, and you can board the car with only a few dollars, and you can reach Longmen in half an hour. Originally, Wanxin was still a little reluctant to give up the prosperity of Luoyang City, but when he arrived at Longmen, he saw the beautiful landscapes and schools, and the students were even more gathered, and a little loss was suddenly left behind.

What made Wan Xin even more gratifying was that not long after he got off the car when he arrived at Longmen, he saw that their Jingzhou State Pavilion was located in a very conspicuous place in a building, with a big banner waving in the wind, and there were a few people in front of the door who were his classmates in the state school!

Wan Xin first called out the names of several classmates, and after meeting with each other, he solemnly thanked the city supervisor who led the way, and forced the other party to give fifty yuan, and after seeing the other party leave, he happily went straight to the state pavilion with his classmates.

"Our Jingzhou Pavilion is one of the most majestic pavilions in the sky, and the only ones inferior are Wuzhou and a few other pavilions! The completion of this museum is based on the funding of the virtuous and benevolent elders in Nanping Gong, Luling Gong, Anlu Gong and other states......"

Those who have left their homeland are inevitably afraid, and any bit of glory from the countryside is enough to make them relish.

Hearing the first classmates boasting of their state pavilion, Wan Xin also felt honored, classmates said a few people, he thought a little about it after a little thought, Nanping County Gong Li Hong is now the imperial history doctor, is Jingzhou civil and military in the most noble position of the court, Luling County Gong Tao Hong is the grandson of Tao Kan, a famous minister who has been in charge of Shaanxi for a long time, Anlu County Gong Deng Yao, etc., even if it is not the old Jingzhou, but the achievements are more than this, Rong Xian raised funds to build the state pavilion here for the people of Shangluo Jingzhou to live, it is also a kind of feedback.

"The Jingzhou State Pavilion is already so grand, so what about the Wuzhou State Pavilion?"

Seeing the grand building in front of him, Wan Xin asked with some curiosity. But when he asked this, he saw that several of his classmates all looked strange.

"Well, there it is."

The atmosphere was dull for a moment, and only then did a classmate point to the east.

Wan Xin turned his head to look and saw that there were indeed many pavilions in the Xiangshan Mountains and Fields across the water in the east, but if there was any building that could obviously surpass their Jingzhou State Pavilion, there was really none, so he asked again: "Which one?" ”

"There, the whole fragrant mountain, it's all ......"

Hearing this, Wan Xin's eyes suddenly became agitated, and he muttered after a while: "I often hear that Wu people are arrogant, and today I finally saw it." ”

Wuzhou Emperor Township, compared is incomparable, especially the emperor's eldest son Shen Yu was named King Wu after reaching the age of fifteen, Wuzhou formed by the original Wu Xing, Huiji most of the analysis of Wuzhou is like a prince of the palace of self-esteem, but also everything is competing for the first, do not let the lead, each family or at any cost of the replacement industry, or a large amount of acquisition, directly built up the Xiangshan that occupies half of the Longmen wall and the large Jianzhou Pavilion Mansion.

If it weren't for the sage's voice to directly stop this momentum, I am afraid that Longmen Mountain, which is separated by a river, will be shaken by the Wu people's gold and silver sea.

Of course, these are just small things, for the students from all walks of life who gather in Longmen, the upcoming Spring Expedition is a major event related to the future.

After Wan Xin joined the team, he also learned more about the scientific expedition.

This time, the scientific examination will be customized by the imperial court, once every three years, and more than a dozen regular courses will be opened, and students from various states will only be eligible to participate in the scientific examination if they pass the state examination. These big regulations have been taught by the state school teacher before, and Wan Xin is no stranger to them.

As for more detailed rules, they need to be introduced by their classmates. For example, although the name of this scientific expedition is Chunqiu, it is actually from mid-March to early May. There are a total of 13 subjects, including Xiucai, Juncai, Ming Jing, Ming Law, Great Cause, National History, Three History, and so on. As long as you have the qualifications to lift people, these thirteen subjects can be selected at will, and if you have the energy, you can take the thirteen subjects together.

Of course, the number of admissions in each subject is not the same, and the questions tested are also different, and the difficulty is naturally different. Because it is a talent show, it is jokingly called the national science department by the students, in other words, as long as you can pass the examination, at least the future will be the future.

The people in each department are all called tributes. With the qualification of tribute, you can participate in the palace examination in early May, and the palace examination is simple, only three questions. After the palace test is recorded, it will be given to the Jinshi and the first, Hongwen Hall admission to the edict, once you have to use at least the eight products to start, the palace test three can directly enter the temple to observe the political observation.

Hearing all kinds of stories from his classmates, Wan Xin felt even more passionate. Originally, when he left home, he was still worried, worried that even if he excelled in the state, but after all, this exam was a gathering of young sages from all states in the world, so he still didn't dare to be too optimistic. But I heard that there are as many as thirteen subjects in the regular course this time, and I estimate how I can get into the first subject.

But the next words of his classmates still poured a basin of cold water on him: "If you don't enter the sky, you don't know how to learn." For example, the arithmetic scriptures of each subject are only taught in our state school, but the learning in the sky has already involved "Island" and "Geometry". In the past few days, we have been studying the scriptures hard, and I only hope that the questions in the various subjects will not be too difficult. ”

Hearing this, Wan Xin couldn't help but feel worried. However, fortunately, those state sages and eminents in Luozhong also took good care of them, and took advantage of the fact that there were still more than ten days before the great cause ceremony of the first subject of the scientific examination, and came forward to hire the good teachers in the sky for them to make up for their knowledge.

Among these heavenly scholars, one of them, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, was the most conspicuous, and he did not seem to be much older than them, but when it came to learning, he was far superior to those of them.

When I asked, I learned that the young man's name was Che Yin, who was also a native of Nanping County, Jingzhou, and went to Luo in the year before last at the imperial court's erudite macro vocabulary department.

They are close in age, so they naturally talk more casually. The people of Jingzhou also took the opportunity to ask Che Yin about the previous few times to make a variety of subjects, Che Yin knew everything, and they were all experienced professors, and advised these students: "It is inevitable that I will be arrogant when I am young, and I went north to Luo in the old years, and I did not try to ignore the heroic madness of the minister." But the saint is virtuous, the talent is prosperous, this world is blazing, there are so many virtuous people in the world, and it is also a lesson to quit after trying. This time, the scale of Enkai Changke is far better than that of previous years, and those who can do it must be the best among people. If you can get a subject and keep a tribute, you can also enter the country in the future, cultivate talents and accumulate ambitions, and the merit is reluctant. ”

Hearing that Che Yin's knowledge is far better than them, the students' original arrogance has faded away, their mentality tends to be peaceful, and they are more focused on the current hard work.
