"Are those Rakshasas strictly guarded?"

I've been at home for a few days, and I don't know some changes, so I just asked today.

A person at the table next to him smiled: "What's not strict?" It's just that I'm worried that the people rarely see Westerners, so they should go monkey watching. There are child soldiers watching, but for you and me, is it still called being guarded? The caretakers are the brothers and deceased of each family. ”

Tian Ping also answered: "If Brother Shouchang goes to show the prestige of the winner, he needs to bring a few more people." Otherwise, I am afraid that they will be angry, and then they will fight. ”

Everyone also took the opportunity to persuade again: "Yes, yes, Brother Shouchang's battle has established a prestige, how can those Rakshasas not hate you?" It's just that the more the enemy hates him, the happier the victor is. Come on, come on, and then pay homage to Brother Chang for a drink. One is for the work of expanding the border, and the other is for the regular brother, who is the first to be awarded the medal in the classmates. ”

Everyone got up to toast, Liu Yu also got up, drank it all and said: "I have made a meritorious service, don't you brothers want to fight?" ”

Like cold water spilled into a pan of oil, everyone at the table had different faces.

Today, Tian Ping had an East banquet, and most of the people followed Liu Yu to make a hot air balloon joke and knelt across the Jinshui Bridge together.

This matter has passed, Liu Yu has been gone for nearly two years, and has made great contributions, and he is a popular candidate for the upper house of Wude Palace, where does everyone not know that Liu Yu is going to soar?

Speaking of all the people, Liu Yu is such a graced guard, and the rest are mostly second sons.

Although he is the second son and was born in a wealthy family, he can't suffer too much, and he just wants to be a freer in the future. In the future, if you have the opportunity, go to the southwest toast to gild a layer of gold, which can be regarded as burning high incense.

As for the war in the northwest, they all know that they can make meritorious contributions, but most of these people don't want to go. The northwest is cold and bitter, and Dashun has suffered several defeats in the northwest before, which sounds dangerous.

Those who are not from noble backgrounds have most of their average grades.

The non-noble children in the Wude Palace, if they are very good at learning, they are all arrogant, and they are unwilling to get too close to the noble children. If you get too close, you probably won't have a chance to get into it.

can't get into the house, and there is no noble family background, most of them are sent out to the army to be a small officer.

If you don't reach the level of "strategizing and calculating in the account", you have to go to the rain of bullets and bullets to cut people, or maybe throw them to Dongning, Yungui, Songhuajiang, Mongolia and other ghost places to become a border army officer.

Two years ago, they were classmates who were having fun and noisy together, but now they have different futures, which can't help but hurt their minds.

Tian Ping also smiled bitterly: "Brother Shouchang, if it's not that I don't want to fight, you also know about me." You can't hear the sound of gunfire, you can't ride a fierce horse. There is no drama in the upper house, not to mention on the battlefield, it is not as good as those people in the imperial examination, and it is really embarrassing to go up or down. ”

"In a few days, it will be the summer examination of the inner house. I'm definitely out of the game. If there is an opportunity in the future, it will be great to be able to go to the writing room to be a Chinese scholar. ”

"It's you, Brother Shouchang, you need to be prepared. The summer exam is coming, and when the time comes, you will enter the upper house, and you will be on the right path. ”

The promotion of the inner house to the upper house should not only look at the performance of the weekday examination, but also score in the summer examination.

recalled the content of the summer examination in Neishe, but Liu Yu was not worried.

Geometry, surveying and mapping calculations with similar problems, arithmetic, equestrian, bow or musket shooting.

Write a passage silently from one of the seven classics such as Sun Tzu, Wu Zi, Wei Yi, and Sima; Let's talk about some of the strategies in the military book.

Fill in the blanks to complete some excerpts from the Analects and Mencius.

It is about these contents that the difficulty of the scriptures is not the same as that of the imperial examination.

Different from the triennial autumn examination in Shangshe, there is no history and policy theory, and the art of war strategy is only a simple test.

Entering the upper house is almost a sure thing, but the autumn examination after entering the upper house determines the upper limit in the future - similar to the difference between the champion, the list eye, the tanhua, the jinshi, and the same jinshi in the imperial examination.

The top three in the autumn examination of Wude Palace will be directly awarded the dragon ban.

Unlike the guards who follow the example of the five grades, the dragon ban is the third grade. One of the honors is mostly awarded to the dukes and princes who will attack the lord in the future, and the five grades are just to familiarize themselves with before the lord; However, there are almost no princes and princes in the top three of the Wude Palace, and the direct award grade is higher, so as to form a balance between the nobles, the protégés of the Son of Heaven of the Wude Palace and the civil officials.

As usual, the Tianyou Hall is all a nobleman who has relieved the military power, a martial arts palace from the upper house, and four imperial examinations. This is roughly the proportion of the entire officialdom, and there can not be too much sand outside the imperial examination, so as to prevent the tail from falling off; But not too little, just manageable.

Although there is no explicit rule that entering the Tianyou Palace must be the head of the Wude Palace and the champion of the imperial examination hall, in fact, they are basically the same.

It is said that even if you enter the upper house, you have to brush up on the day class, but when the Wude Palace was first established, it was a war, and when there was often an urgent shortage of talents, the people inside were needed to go to the top of the battlefield. So there was customization before, and the time to play was also counted as a class time.

Therefore, if Liu Yu passes the summer examination and enters the upper house, he is directly qualified to participate in the triennial upper house autumn examination.

It is impossible for the emperor to make an exception for Liu Yu alone, but he knows how to exploit loopholes.

Liu Yu's level of Western learning is very high, he is also familiar with the books of martial arts, he has really experienced it on the battlefield, and his equestrian marksmanship is also good.

He made eighty percent of the judgment in his heart about the "King James Appointment", and he completed the most difficult road from military merit to lieutenant in the light car before these classmates, but he did not dare to have half a point of arrogance.

No matter where these people go in the future, they are all connected, and they must make good friends at this time.

Hearing that the crowd was a little depressed, he stopped mentioning the way out in the future.

I also know in my heart that the second sons in the prince's mansion really lack the predicament necessary for hard work, and most of them will spend their lives as loose riders and live with their own families in the future.

But if there are one or two people who are really willing to find a way out, these princes and second sons are all talents who can be used, it depends on whether the court knows how to use them.

At this time, it was inconvenient to talk about this, so I took the opportunity of everyone to celebrate or congratulate him in advance on entering the upper house, and asked a few more people who were unwilling to live their lives, and secretly remembered their names.

When the wine was half-drunk, Liu Yu took the opportunity to talk about Xixi, who knew Japanese, and said that he hoped that his classmates would use some connections to inquire about the merchant merchants in Nagasaki, Fujian.

One asks about the number of running ships, and the other asks about the goods.

Remove those who are not princes in the family, although the rest of the people are not sons-in-law, but the network and circle of the family are destined to what news they want to get, which is far easier than others.

Tian Ping thought about the relationship at home for a while, and the wine gushed up, patting his chest and saying, "Brother Shouchang, don't worry, I don't know what you're going to do, and I don't want to know." But since you are useful, I will make an effort to inquire about it. ”

"Please understand the Japanese language, Xixi, it's really rare. I have little contact with the Japanese people, and Westerners are common in Xuanwumen, but the Japanese people are not seen. Fujian may have? If you have it, you can find it. ”

Liu Yu thought for a while, and then instructed: "It's best to be a good family." You can be innocent, or follow the boat. If you don't have an innocent background, I don't want it, in case it's a Japanese spy, and you will get into trouble in the future. ”

"You can rest assured. I know the weight. is willing to give money, and has a decent background, just as a public guest, it is still easy to find. Tian Ping was half drunk, and he still understood the trouble in his heart.

The rest of the people at the table also said that they could ask their families to help, urge the relationships in Guangdong, Macau, and Zhejiang, and help Liu Yu inquire and find a reliable person.

As for what Liu Yu wanted to do, these people were also very knowledgeable and didn't ask half a sentence.

Liu Yu himself is an outlier in the circle of Xungui's children, and has studied Latin and Western studies since he was a child.

In their opinion, perhaps Latin and Japanese are like the relationship between poetry and poetry? Most of the people who read poetry like songs? But I don't know what the fun is.

It should only be the joy of being a fish and knowing the fish.

Seeing that this wine had been drunk to Shenshi, and they were all almost drunk, Liu Yu took the opportunity to talk about borrowing money before.

I only said that I have been spending a lot of money recently, which is not very generous, and I hope that you can be lenient for some time.

He borrowed two thousand taels at the beginning, but they were all borrowed from the prince's children, and it was less than one hundred taels per person.

When he said this, everyone was gossiping, and they all said that it should only be to congratulate Brother Shouchang on his award.

Liu Yu took advantage of the situation and said that when he does something in the future, he will only use it as everyone's share capital and dividends when the time comes.

If there is a real opportunity to make money in the future, the more people who participate, the better. Money is the glue of the top few relationships, and Liu Yu hopes to take advantage of the gap opened by this incident to pull in more noble families in the future.

The people who drank together didn't take it seriously, one was not much money, and the other was that this kind of thing would be talked about now, and if they really saw the dividends in the future, they would talk about something else.

Liu Yu thought that if there was really a chance to do some trade, he would definitely take more temptations to tempt these people with the first dividend, and ask them to invest more money from the beginning.

These two thousand taels are regarded as bait laid two years ago, and they will catch bigger fish in the future.

After the chaos and excitement, there is no banquet in the world, Liu Yu finished what he wanted to do, and Tian Ping also drank too much.

If you drink and vomit, you may not really drink too much, and you may not really drink too much nonsense, but the words that Tian Ping said must have really drunk too much.

"Brother Shouchang, you can get another hot air balloon in a few days. My sister has been pestering me since that day when she saw us flying in the sky, and she always pestered me to ask what it looked like when she looked down in the sky. ”

"In a few days, you can get another one. I'll sneak my sister with me, and let's go out of town together. You two saw each other when you were young, but you haven't seen each other since you grew up, she is still the third brother of the Liu family and the third brother of the Liu family. She's also a naughty person, and she can't be shut up in the back garden, and she often yells and suffocates to death......"

These words are not something that can be said in front of outsiders, and when it comes to this, it is obvious that he has drunk too much.

Liu Yu was also dizzy, recalling the girls she had played with when she was a child, and she had long forgotten what she looked like.

The tongue is also big, and he only cries that he has no money to make another one, and he didn't pay it back when he was taken away by His Majesty before, and he didn't pay it back after he was rewarded, and he didn't have enough money to buy two feet of cloth......

There was a commotion for a while, and the number of people vomiting gradually increased, and the wine party should be dispersed. The Duke of Qi sent a car or a small servant to send these people home.

Wude Palace is closed for two days, and the school will start again the day after tomorrow, and Liu Yu also plans to go to Wude Palace the day after tomorrow.

The next day, I woke up and went to my own courtyard, so I called the steamed buns.

"How did you feel yesterday?"

"From a servant to a man, it is extremely subtle. It seems that the food is much fresher than before. Mr. Love, Ziming will not dare to forget. ”

Listening to these half-literate words, Liu Yu was happy first.

"Okay, it's true that my identity has changed from steamed buns to Mi Ziming, and this has changed."

Mantou also smiled, and said, "I'm not afraid of Mr. jokes." I also studied with my husband and worked as a companion as a scholar. In fact, these words would have been said, but just like the color of clothes, whether you can afford to buy them or not, and whether you are qualified to wear them are not the same thing. Yesterday we went to the Mansion of Qi together, and I almost knelt down subconsciously several times, but my knees endured yesterday, and this mouth also learned to speak human words. ”

Liu Yu patted the steamed bun's shoulder and encouraged: "This is a good thing." You slowly get used to this tongue, don't call me the third master in the future, and I will try not to call you steamed buns. Now that you have learned from your teacher, I have to teach you something. Is there anything you'd like to learn? ”

"Whatever my husband teaches me, I will learn. I also know that the only way to go in the future is to follow Mr., so what Mr. teaches will be useful to Mr. in the future. ”

These words made Liu Yu sigh, shook his head and said, "Don't think too simply. It may not be useful, it may be studied for a few years, but it has learned the dragon slaying technique, and there is no place to display the skills, and it is unknown. ”

The steamed bun sighed with Liu Yu: "What Mr. wants to teach, it must be a Nanyang matter." In the future, if Mr. is really useless, Ziming is willing to take a flat boat and accompany Mr. on the sea. How can it be said useless? ”

He has been following Liu Yu for a long time, and he has heard a lot of things, and he can probably guess some of Liu Yu's thoughts. When I said this, I thought that if that day really came, the waves would be on the sea, and it would be better if that girl was there. Sir, it's better to have a master who can understand the meaning of his yaoqin's broken strings, then it's perfect.

However, after saying this, Liu Yu laughed and said: "Drive a flat boat on the sea? I don't want to be so secluded. When that day comes, it is better to set up a boat to be a pirate than to cry and sing two sentences of 'I am lonely'. But you're right, I'm going to teach you about Nanyang affairs. ”

teased again: "I know you miss Du Feng's sister-in-law, but it's a head that has cut off his head and wants to be an official." But my words, he should be able to take it to heart—just like the mind of Mr. Chaoyangming in the former past, there are always fewer people who really want to learn from him than those who want to reproduce his enlightenment and become a saint. I don't dare to compare with Mr. Yangming, but the meaning is still this meaning, Du Feng saw me all the way, he will definitely listen to my words. If he is really admitted to Wude Palace, he will definitely find a way to learn some maritime knowledge. There's a saying for that. ”

After speaking, he smiled: "I arrested Bering, Cherikov and others." They know how to sail. I only know the surface, and if I really want to learn, I have to learn from them. But Du Feng wants to learn, although he has a foundation in geometric arithmetic, he has a big problem. He didn't know Latin, Bering, or Chinese...... And you, who have studied with me for a few years, understand a little bit. Do you understand? ”

"I can't say that in the future, he will still stick to you and please you. It's also an opportunity for you. What do you think your husband and I have arranged for you? ”

The steamed bun was in a good mood, bowed down and smiled: "Mr. arranged it clearly." Ziming admired. ”

"Okay, that's it. Tomorrow I will go to Wude Palace, and you will go to the previous hut. Not to mention the bunched hair reading, but it's about the same. I take time out every day to teach you Latin and geometry and arithmetic. As for you, take out the strength of the cantilever and strive to learn it as soon as possible, and I will arrange for you to go to Bering to learn it. ”

"Every day I talk a little bit and leave a few more topics. Whether it's for the sake of that girl, or for the sake of a future career, or even if it's for the sake of repaying my kindness......"

"I just want to tell you: this is the opportunity of your life, seize it. If you can't grasp it, you won't get everything you want in your dreams. If others use 10 points, you have to use 20 points. ”

Where do you know that what Liu Yu said is true, don't worry, I will do my best. Yesterday I sat down at the table to eat, it was borrowed from your love, and one day in the future, I hope to be able to sit and laugh with those people on an equal footing by my own identity.

He didn't say a word about these words in his heart, but just gave Liu Yu a big salute, and he didn't say anything.
