Chapter 79: Backward Yangzhou
Wu Dekai looked at Ge Xiaoliang in surprise, thought for a while, and said, "Then wait a minute, I'll help you shout, our classmates are on lunch break, don't disturb others." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
After speaking, Wu Dekai quietly walked into the classroom and shouted bangs.
Ge Xiaoliang watched Liu Hai come out of the classroom and walk towards him, and he was very nervous. He stared at the boy with a disabled foot, and felt that there seemed to be a terrifying momentum on the boy's body, which made him dare not look directly.
A month ago, he looked down on others, and now he feels ridiculous when he thinks about it.
Today's bangs are already the existence that he absolutely looks up to, and he can no longer be a little underestimated and jealous, and the gap between himself and him is too big, so big that he can only respect and look up.
"Are you...... Ge Xiaoliang from the first class of Wudan, is there anything wrong with me?" Liu Hai looked at this young man who was still a little impressed, and remembered that this person had always been the first in the grade before he came, and a month ago, he seemed to have come to make a little unpleasant.
"Yes, it's me. Seeing that Liu Hai actually called out his name and origin at once, Ge Xiaoliang inexplicably felt a little pride in his heart, and it seemed that it was a very honorable thing to be remembered by the young man opposite.
Bangs looked at the young man opposite who seemed to suddenly become a little excited, couldn't help but smile, and asked, "Then do you have anything to do with me?"
He remembered that the last time the boy came to him, his attitude was not very good, but now he was like two people.
"I came to you to join ......" Ge Xiaoliang heard that Liu Hai's study group was not accepted, so he was a little apprehensive and hesitant when he said it, but in order for himself to be admitted to a better Taixue, he still said his meaning: "I want to apply to join your study group." β
Liu Hai shook his head: "I'm sorry, our study group is no longer recruiting." β
At the end, he added: "There were many students who wanted to join before, but I refused all of them." "Meaning, I'm not targeting you.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether he adds this sentence or not, but he sees that people's attitudes have improved, so he added such a sentence.
However, Ge Xiaoliang seemed to have expected Liu Hai's rejection, and he was not surprised at all: "I know that even the teacher of the academy asked the dean to ask you to recruit people, but you refused." β
"It's good that you know, classmate Ge, I still have something, so let's not talk about it. Bangs smiled and turned to return to the classroom.
"Please wait. Ge Xiaoliang stopped Liu Hai, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, and said, "This is 47 gold coins and 21 silver coins, I can pay the group fee, as long as you agree to me to join." β
Liu Hai was stunned by the boy's behavior, he didn't expect that this Ge Xiaoliang would actually think of the trick of calling the group fee in order to be able to enter the study group, and he also brought all the money.
47 gold coins and 21 silver coins, this number is definitely not small, enough to buy more than 4 non-attribute spirit stones, even for an adult, it is not a small amount.
Liu Hai smiled a little and said, "Do you think I will ask you for this money? You should know about the town government rewarding me with 20,000 gold coins." β
"I know, but ......" Ge Xiaoliang couldn't go on. Of course, he knew about the government's reward of 20,000 gold coins to Liu Hai, and everyone in the township knew about it. But he really couldn't think of any other way to get Liu Hai to agree to recruit him into the study group.
Ge Xiaoliang's face turned red, the application changed, he suddenly gritted his teeth, took out a rectangular cardboard box from his schoolbag, opened it, and revealed several very exquisite books inside: "This is a set of novels from Gulanzhou, the author and the publishing house are from Gulanzhou, and they can't be bought in Xinbao Township, or even the entire Qilin Mansion, if you agree with me to join the study group, I ...... I'll give you this set of novels!"
Ge Xiaoliang looked reluctant when he said this.
Liu Hai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Gulanzhou's things, how can you have this?"
Anyone with the word "ancient" in front of the name of a state is a state of God! Gulan is one of the nine great states of the empire!
In the empire, states are divided into Shenzhou, Shangzhou, Zhongzhou, and Xiazhou.
Yangzhou is a lower state, and lower state often means backwardness and poverty. Gulan is a state of God, one of the nine richest and most academically advanced states in the empire. The gap between Yangzhou and Gulan is a little bigger than the gap between Xihai and Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is the most backward category among the 383 states in the empire, the economy is poor, and the academic ranking is also low among the 266 lower states, compared with Zhongzhou, half a generation behind, compared with last week, one generation behind, and compared with Shenzhou, it is two generations behind.
For example, in Yangzhou academia, the mainstream scholars are second-order scholars, and the top level is third-order. In the academic circles of Zhongzhou and Shangzhou, the mainstream scholars are second- and third-order scholars, and the top level is fourth-order. In Shenzhou, the mainstream scholars are the third order, and the top level is the fourth and fifth orders.
Compared with Yangzhou, it is much behind.
Yangzhou's backwardness is also reflected in direct commercial and academic exchanges between states.
As a lower state, it is difficult to have business and academic exchanges with Zhongzhou and Shangzhou, you are born short, you want to communicate in all aspects, and people are not uncommon to take care of you. Zhongzhou and Shangzhou are already difficult, and Shenzhou is even more difficult, especially in academics, in the eyes of the Shenzhou academic community, the academic community in Xiazhou is an uncivilized place, just like the Yangzhou academic community looks at the West Sea Islands...... Since the establishment of Yangzhou, there has never been an eye from the academic community in Yangzhou, and there are almost zero exchanges, at most, scholars from Yangzhou go to study in Shenzhou.
Economically, Yangzhou has some exchanges with Shenzhou, but there are very few, and the nine major Shenzhou, and even the thirty-six Shangzhou, basically have a trade blockade on some high-tech products in Xiazhou and Zhongzhou.
There are also middle states to lower states.
In the subconscious of the states, in fact, Zhongzhou does not want the lower state to be promoted to the middle state, and the upper state does not want the middle state to be promoted to the upper state, and the state naturally does not want the upper state to be promoted to the upper state...... And the whole empire has a momentum to work hard...... This is a contradiction between public interest and private interest......
In Yangzhou, things from Zhongzhou are not uncommon, things from Shangzhou are very rare, and things from Shenzhou are very rare.
So Liu Hai was surprised that Ge Xiaoliang, a country boy, could have something from Shenzhou.
Seeing that he had successfully aroused Liu Hai's interest, Ge Xiaoliang was a little proud in his heart, but he looked around and whispered: "I have a cousin who married to Gulan, and this set of novels was sent to me by my cousin, my parents don't let me publicize this matter, you must help me keep it secret." β
After speaking, Ge Xiaoliang took the novel out of the box and handed it to Liu Hai.
Bangs didn't pick up, just glanced at it, and saw that the beautiful cover had the name of the novel, the author, and the name of the publishing house.
Published by Li Delu Publishing House, Swan Mansion, Gulanzhou...... Not to mention, it's really a novel published in Gulan......" Liu Hai muttered, thoughtful.
