I didn't think it just now, but now when I come out, I find that the people around me are wearing fewer clothes.

It's much colder here than Yunzhou and Shanzhou, but the grain production far exceeds those two places.

First, there is too much land suitable for farming, and second, it is cold here, and there is no shortage of sunshine.

Tongzhou was the granary area of the empire, supplying the huge number of people in Longzhou, and had a strong impetus subordinate to politics in the production of food and daily necessities.

Except for the soldiers who stood still, the rest of the people basically did not wear thick coats, and basically all of them were special clothing such as windbreakers and woolen sweaters.

Most Tongzhou people wear light trench coats that cover themselves from the neck to the calves, both men and women.

Men basically wear it open and like to keep their hands in their pants pockets.

Women wear long riding boots with ribbons that are gently tied around their waists and worn on their feet.

These can be seen at a glance as Tongzhou people, and the rest of the people in strange costumes can also be seen through their clothes.

Relatively speaking, the sluggish Wang Lanling also realized his problem, he did not wear the clothes of Shanzhou people, and did not wear a feather crown on his head.

If he does not follow the regional traditions, it will be difficult for him to gain the approval of the rest of the Shanzhou people......

The people of Yunzhou didn't recognize Wang Lanling, and Wang Lanling didn't want to follow the people of Shanzhou, so after thinking about it, he still gave up thinking.

Whatever!

Wang Lanling thought about the physical education class with a sad face, compared to dressing up and social problems, he was more concerned about what would happen if he couldn't stick to the physical education class.

"I've been weak since I was a child, so what would I do if I ran slower or couldn't persevere in PE class? School teachers, can you be accommodating? ”

Elena looked at Wang Lanling and persuaded: "This shouldn't be okay, the school here implements a system, where you can't do it, the teacher will teach you and help you, and adjust the teaching progress with the worst students in the class." ”

Elena paused and said seriously: "If someone really can't hold on, or the speed of progress is too slow, the rest of the people will persuade him to leave, these people usually take the initiative to change shifts, and will not continue to stay and affect others." ”

Lord Wang's face was solemn and sad.

What kind of school is this...... Is this to encourage good students to help poor students, or to encourage good students to target poor students?

Tongzhou Government School is one of the top schools in this era, and it is also the place that changes the future of many people, and it is of great significance to many people's lives.

Wang Lanling is a bastard in the class and delays other people's studies, which is really the revenge of killing his father.

Not to mention anything else, the fathers and mothers born to these officials may really be able to persuade Wang Lanling to leave, both soft and hard.

"Alas......" Wang Lanling let out a long sigh, and the pale mist mixed with the dust disappeared into the white light.

Elena continued to walk forward, leading the way for Wang Lanling.

Even if they are transferred to the class of poor students, the treatment and future of the official students are much better than those of the official students.

The officials and officials who can come in are all people with certain talents, and Elena feels that even if Wang Lanling is not good at martial arts, there must be outstanding places in the rest of the places.

There are more than 100 million people in Tongzhou, and there are only dozens of official students every year, and the same is true in several nearby states.

Elena has lived here for four years and has met many geniuses who have talents that she does not possess and can only look up to for the rest of her life.

The thought that he was destined to be eliminated before he entered the examination room made me feel melancholy.

Wang Lanling felt that this world was so cruel, maybe the world itself was so cruel.

Elena soon led Wang Lanling to a building, which was a long building, and at the front of a street, looking up, she could see rows of balconies and flowers, clothes, and underwear.

In high-rise buildings similar to the Western Commercial Street, the balconies are spaced about one meter apart, some distance from each other, and each floor is three or four meters high, with a total of six floors.

"This is the dormitory where I live, there are more than 400 people in it, and now they are basically all back, and the personnel are more messy, plus your words are a total of six official students, all of whom were official students before this year."

Elena introduced this place and led Wang Lanling towards the inside.

"This row of floors is connected, there are seven exits in total, and there are guards on the left side of the middle floor of each floor, and they generally don't go to them, they don't bother the rest of the people, as long as they don't fight, die, set fires, etc., they don't care."

Wang Lanling walked in, and after entering the doorless gate stitched with round white jade, he saw this spacious and empty entrance.

At the entrance, there are several square columns supporting the building above, and when you enter the door, you will see the door with the house number written on the left and right, and after walking a few meters forward, you will see a wide corridor leading to the left and right.

"Why is it so quiet here?"

Wang Lanling felt that this place was not like a place where more than 400 people lived, it was too quiet.

Elena explained: "It's not evening yet, there are not many people, there are more clerks and students here, and when we don't have classes, we will go to the school office to find something to do, tidy up the machinery warehouse, repair and maintain firearms, help organize documents in the database, or go to the faculty dormitory to clean up, help run errands and deliver letters, etc., many things are rushed to do." ”

Wang Lanling said casually: "Do you have any money?" ”

"Yes." Elena said: "Generally, when you do things to strangers, you will have a reward to get money, and although you don't have money to get when you are cooked, you will get more benefits." ”

Wang Lanling thought for a while, and quickly said: "It doesn't feel like I have to find someone to help me do things, it's more like selecting subordinates, who are not qualified, and if I don't like it, I will give some money and send it away, and I will continue to use it if I feel good." ”

It's not that the teachers ignore these officials, Wang Lanling, who is in a high position, knows very well the importance of talents, and knows that a person does not represent himself in many cases, and those teachers are not just working here for themselves.

The officials and students have long been determined, and the future and planning of the top part of the officials and students have actually been stipulated for a long time, as long as they don't make mistakes, they can go to a high position, these teachers can't participate, and the huge number of officials and students is where these people get benefits.

Elena was stunned for a moment, she had been here for four years, and she had always thought that this was a matter of luck, but it was not as lucky as her turn.

But now after being reminded by this person, he suddenly realized that it was not his bad luck, but something that he was not capable of at all.

"That's right...... I see...... "Elena's mood was complicated, and she also let out a long sigh of relief, and she respected the young man beside her even more.

This is the talent born of officials, there are some things they can see at a glance, and they can't see through them after a few years of involvement.

Wang Lanling is very clear about the gap between himself and the rest of the officials and students, and many systems in this school are to test whether those people will make mistakes and test the hearts of those people.

Others can be steadily promoted as long as they don't make mistakes, and they won't be so lucky, and their status is similar to that of the rest of the officials.

Forget it, it's a big deal to be a bastard on a bad shift, and if you can't do it, you will be expelled.

Although the idea is this, and I feel that I can't get along here, but Lord Xiao Wang's heart is ruthless!

Nima!

If I am expelled, after I go back, I will say that the Jiang family is targeting me, and that the people of Tongzhou look down on us mountain people!

If your strength is not good, you can't do it, but Xiao Wang is also a face-saving person, how can he admit that he is a weak chicken? After all, you have to find a reason, otherwise you will admit your incompetence in front of your father and fellow villagers?

This is Wang Lanling's overthinking, unless it is a major problem in the official school, it will definitely not be easily fired.

The status of official schools is special, and those who are dismissed must report to the central government, and the central government can only issue a document to expel them after the central government agrees.

Even if Tongzhou wanted to expel Wang Lanling, Yunzhou would not agree, but they had just sent this kid away a few days ago.

Elena led Wang Lanling upstairs, and when she was going up the stairs, a woman walked down, and when she saw Elena, she greeted her and said, "Elena, you didn't find anything today?" ”

Wang Lanling, who was thinking about how to explain to his father and fellow villagers, raised his head at this time and saw a woman in a white cloth robe, who was almost thirty years old, not like a student here.

When Elena saw the woman, she leaned sideways and said, "Mrs. Zhu, you came just in time, let me introduce you, this is our new roommate, Wang Luolin from Shanzhou, he wants to come to our house to have a look first, and then decide whether to move in or not." ”

Zhu Yuyin looked at Wang Lanling, frowned and said, "Mountain people? Does he speak official language? ”

"Yes! He is an official student who just entered the school this year! Elena quickly explained, naming the identity of Wang Lanling's official student.

Hearing that it was an official, Zhu Yuyin's face quickly appeared with a soft smile like a spring breeze in March, and he said with a chuckle: "It turned out to be an official of the king, the little girl Zhu Yuyin, just call me Yuyin." ”

Elena helped and said: "Mrs. Zhu is a native of Caozhu Mountain in Tongzhou, her fiancé died before marriage, and there was no one in the man's family, so Mrs. Zhu inherited the title, and the title is the viscount of Caozhu Mountain." ”

The title level here is divided into country, state, county, county, town, township (village), and there is also a title of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, which is more special.

The title of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas mainly depends on the place, if it is a title for soldiers, it is a big place, and if it is given to Wenchen, it is much smaller.

The Viscount of Caozhu Mountain...... Then the original is Shanbo, the same township earl title as Wang Lanling, this kind of title will disappear if it is downgraded by one level, and the second will die, and it will not be like the title in the county town can be reduced to a duke step by step.

It turned out to be a widow with a title, but at the age of thirty, she still called herself a little girl, isn't it awkward?

Wang Lanling nodded and said: "Women with titles are all called Mrs., and my title is that of a township lord, and if you are older, you can count it as a level, but you can't call it by name." ”

It is a normal step for officials to have a knighthood, and civil officials are promoted before being promoted, Zhu Yuyin smiled and said: "How old am I older than you, and a few years longer than you are here, it's good to call me Bamboo Lady, your official words are very good." ”

Zhu Yuyin's Mandarin is also mixed with a strange soft glutinous syllable, while Elena's Mandarin is often the same tone, which seems very stiff.

It's not that Wang Lanling's official words are good, it's the official words imitated by the rest, that is, the Mandarin that Wang Lanling has long been accustomed to speaking.

There are few officials in the Jiang family who speak well, and the best performance in this kind of thing is still some big officials.

"Okay, Bamboo Lady." Wang Lanling agreed, feeling that if he lived with these two people, at least someone would take care of him.

Zhu Yuyin quickly said: "Let's stop standing here and get in the way, go into the house and talk, is your luggage downstairs?" ”

Wang Lanling said: "No, I didn't bring any other luggage except for some food on the road and blankets for sleeping. ”

Zhu Yuyin led Wang Lanling to the outside of a room on the third floor, and on the door was written [658], which was the room number of this room.

The moment the door opened, Wang Lanling smelled the smell of a woman, which was the smell of shampoo and perfume laundry detergent, which was okay, it was a clean smell.

The room was cluttered, and when you entered, you saw a large table stacked with books, newspapers, and discarded scratch paper, and on either side there were two bookshelves full of books and a utility cabinet.

On one side of the wall, there is a white radiator, on which are some small clothes and two iron lunch boxes.

Zhu Yuyin explained: "This is the living room, where we usually read and write reports, inside is the bedroom, the kitchen on the left side of the bedroom, the bathroom on the right, and the balcony at the back, all of which add up to the size of this room." ”

The space of the house is very crowded, this living room should be used as a study, the room is very high, the distance between the ceiling and the ground is four or five meters, and there is a small ladder near the bookshelf.

"How do you cook here?" Wang Lanling was more curious about this.

Zhu Yuyin said happily: "It uses natural gas, few people in this county can afford it, it is free to use here, don't waste it, and there is a shower in the bathroom, and the toilet is also a sitting flushing toilet." ”

Wang Lanling was surprised, "That's it, it's amazing, I don't use natural gas at home, I always cook on the fire, but the toilet is still replaced with a flush, and we are more popular over there." ”

Two generations of emperors have preferred flushing toilets, after all, people spend a lot of time sitting on the toilet in this life.

After using the flushing toilet, especially the elderly, they are a little resistant to ordinary toilets.

Wang Lanling took off his clothes, this room is heated.

"Where's the last man?" Wang Lanling asked about his last roommate.

Zhu Yuyin saw that Wang Lanling had the idea of staying, so she said happily: "It's the daughter of an officer in Muzhou, and she is also a clerk, she came here for a year, and she has a strong temperament, she can't find anything to do here, she can't keep up with her studies, and she doesn't have any money, so I and my original roommate are helping her." ”

"The little girl is sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and she has no money to go home for the New Year, all she knows is dancing knives and guns, and the ordnance factory doesn't want Muzhou people, and she is helping people wash horses and make some money for a while."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuyin remembered another question...... The mountain man and the shepherd are blood enemies!

Elena didn't know much about it, she hadn't seen many mountain people, and the girl hadn't promoted hate speech in such an area of the school, so she didn't know much about it.

Even Zhu Yuyin himself doesn't know much, that is, he knows that Muzhou people look down on mountain people, and mountain people also like to find trouble with Muzhou people.

Wang Lanling's hatred for both sides is a neutral attitude, and whoever causes trouble for him is the enemy.

Not all Muzhou people can't leave Muzhou, Musheng Hu Zhong and those who are officials in Muzhou can leave, and those who really can't leave are the pioneers.

However, the people of Muzhou are also the key objects of vigilance by the imperial court, and the people here have been dissatisfied with the imperial court for a long time.

This is a school dominated by Tongzhou people, how can the Muzhou people who do not deal with the Longzhou people not be treated differently?

Seeing Zhu Yuyin looking at herself, Wang Lanling said calmly: "I have no opinion, if she is willing, then I will stay." ”

"Good! No problem! I'll help you make the bed! Do you prefer to live above or below? Zhu Yuyin happily took Wang Lanling into the house.

Wang Lanling said casually: "It's above." ”

There is a door in the bedroom and living room, and when you enter the bedroom, it feels a little less space, and there are two doors to the kitchen and bathroom on the left and right.

In addition to a table and two bunk beds in the bedroom, there is also a glass door to the balcony, where Wang Lanling can see the pedestrians on the street, the clutter on the balcony next door, and even the balcony opposite and the dormitory without curtains.

In this era, this should be considered a relatively top-notch living area.

The street scene was also nothing to see, Wang Lanling walked back to the bedroom, and Elena and Zhu Yuyin were taking off the sundries placed on the top bunk.

His lower bunk is the bed of the Muzhou girl, the quilt is neatly folded, and the sheets are also clean and plain style, which is different from Zhu Yuyin's high-end velvet bedding.

Zhu Yuyin saw Wang Lanling walk in, so he said in embarrassment: "There is no extra bedding here, and it's not too early now, why don't you go to find the bedding tomorrow, and you will sleep on Elena's bed today?" Ai ......"

"Okay." Wang Lanling agreed directly, without any excuses.

Zhu Yuyin originally wanted to say that she would let Elena squeeze with her first and give the bed to Wang Lanling, but after seeing Wang Lanling agreeing so naturally, she didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Elena also pretended not to know, and said: "We don't have hot water here after eight o'clock, and there is hot water every morning from six o'clock to eight o'clock in the afternoon, so you have to wash up earlier." ”

Wang Lanling himself is not a decent gentleman, he doesn't feel that he can still be self-disciplined after living with these two beautiful women for a long time.

Since he can't do it, there is no need to pretend to be anything, he has no wife and concubine to relax here, and there is no need to endure it.

He came back with Elena, saying that his eyes were not fixed on Elena's chest and ass, which was fake.

Although the complexion is darker, there is no problem with the appearance, and the appearance is also in line with Wang Lanling's aesthetics.

The three of them changed the subject and began to tidy up the somewhat messy room.

After having the opposite sex move in, it is necessary to tidy up the house.

When the three of them were busy until five o'clock, the door was slammed open, and a woman shouted happily in the living room: "Elena, there is a social ball to be held over there by the officials, and people need to go over and set up the stage!" ”

Wang Lanling picked up a book casually and sat on the bed of Zhu Yuyin and read it.

Zhu Yuyin and Elena, who were outside, quickly whispered something to the Muzhou girl, and after waiting for Wang Lanling for a few minutes, a young woman wearing a plain uniform and a hat walked in.

Also a pretty girl...... At the first glance of Wang Lanling, he felt that those magistrates had an amazing tacit understanding when they selected officials to come and join in.

Wang Lanling put down the book in his hand, slowly stood up and looked at this beautiful girl and said, "Hello." ”

Bai Qingshuang looked at this person and said suspiciously: "Are you really a mountain man?" ”

it! How do these Muzhou and Shanzhou people distinguish each other?

Those Shanzhou people can see at a glance that Hu Guiqiao, who grew up in Yunzhou, is a Muzhou person, and this Muzhou person still doubts his identity as a Shanzhou person in a preconceived situation, just because he just said two words?

Wang Lanling said calmly: "Hello, I am Wang Luolin, I will live here for a period of time in the future, I hope we can get along well." ”

Bai Qingshuang felt that this person did not look like a Shanzhou person, and he was in a very bad situation now, and he was not qualified to let this official leave.

"Hello." Bai Qingshuang nodded, "My name is Bai Qingshuang, a native of Yanfeng County, West County, Muzhou, and my father is a temple in the county. ”

The empire ruled the frontier areas, and the implementation was the infiltration and differentiation of culture, military, people's livelihood and other aspects, and the temple was the belief of kneeling and worshipping, spreading the ideas of Buddhism and Taoism in the border areas.

First, heaven and earth are natural, integrate into heaven and earth, and adapt to changes in heaven and earth.

The second is karma, everything has a cause and effect, and after death, you will go to heaven, and you can be a great official in the next life.

Letting these frontier aliens come and learn, in fact, there is no intention to spread any technology at all.

Whether these people can graduate or not is different from the rest of the people, and has another set of assessment standards.

When these people go back and don't fit in with the locals, that's when they graduate.

Wang Lanling saw that this Muzhou man was the kind of woman who knew martial arts, so he said, "What was the dance party you just said?" ”

Bai Qingshuang explained: "It is a gathering initiated by students, there are often this, there are large and small dance parties every week, and the dance parties in the period after the beginning of school, graduation and exams are relatively large, and they are all paid for by some nobles. ”

This is the petty bourgeoisie, Wang Lanling was not surprised by this matter, and continued to ask: "The people who go are all officials?" ”

Zhu Yuyin came over and interjected: "There are officials and students, and there are officials and students, and officials and students can go in directly, and officials and students must have recommendations and people to bring them, and there are more men in the officials, so we will let some officials and women go over to have a good time, but we haven't been to such a high-level ball." ”

Although Zhu Yuyin is also from Tongzhou, there are many Tongzhou people here, and they are all children of official families.

It can be said that this is a real upper-class party, and those who can be among it are all future celebrities.

There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding.

Every year, people who graduate from government schools, as long as they are talents, can basically get a satisfactory position.

The starting point of an official's life is a positive official, and the achievement of a cadre's life may be this.

The officialdom of the empire has always been healthy, although many old people are reluctant to give up their positions, and the number of people who normally retire each year is far lower than the number of graduates.

But fortunately, these graduates have a good emperor, and the good emperor has made a lot of places for these young people, so that the official system of the empire has always been healthy.

***

"Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! Damn it! ”

Longzhou, the man sitting on the supreme throne was thunderous!

No matter how Wang Lanling accelerates, as long as this good emperor reigns for one day, the empire will not be in chaos.

Only this good emperor can guarantee that there are so many talents in the official schools in the world, and everyone has an official position.

The first emperor didn't have this ability, and neither did Wang Lanling, only this good emperor could solve the employment problem of this high-end talent.

As long as these top talents work for the empire, the empire is as solid as a mountain.

Spring has arrived, and it is also the day that civil servants across the country look forward to day and night.

Four days later, it will be the day of the beginning of spring!!
