The summer combat training of the Longxiang battalion soon yielded a great deal of results, and more than 1,000 people searched the 20-mile area near Liujia Village several times.

As a result, to the horror of the entire village management, there were dozens of people with unknown intentions hiding around, peeping at Liujia Village day and night.

Liu Ximing was furious and tortured, but he only knew that these people were the sentinels of several groups of homeless bandits around him.

These people heard the news from nowhere, saying that it was the Fubi Shu Mansion in Liujia Village, and even the commode used by Liu Ximing was made of gold, and a group of people wanted to hear the news, which made the people in Liujia Village so angry that they couldn't laugh or cry.

Angry, but Liu Ximing always felt that it was not so simple.

In desperation, he could only order Liujia Village and Hexi Town to increase the level of vigilance, and at the same time pay close attention to the construction of fortifications in two places.

The research and development progress of the Dharma Research Institute on large-angle shooting firearms howitzers has once again been accelerated.

Since the last eradication of Bailongzhai, Liujiacun's fleet has expanded to forty-five, and Liujia's fleet can often be seen cruising in groups on the Jialing River, carrying goods to and from Hexi Town and Liujia Village.

This time there was such an incident, Liu Ximing simply ordered the fleet to start installing artillery, and the workload of the Ordnance Bureau suddenly skyrocketed.

The first day of the seventh month.

Xie Wenle sent someone to report yesterday that the official document of the Xuezheng Yamen had been transmitted to the county, and he could start registering for school today, so Liu Ximing had to arrange his family's affairs and hurriedly rush to the city.

As usual, Liu Ximing went to visit Xie Mansion first, and it happened that he also had a lot of things to ask Xie Chengzhou.

"Steward Xie, Young Master Liu is here."

The place is still that place, but what makes Liu Ximing a little strange is that the disciples of the Xie Mansion saw that Liu Ximing was a little overly enthusiastic.

Xie An, the steward of the Xie Mansion, ran out at a trot, and when he saw Liu Ximing, his face was full of smiles.

"Young Master Liu, I congratulate you, and I wish Young Master Liu high school next year."

Liu Ximing said with a smile while following him to lead the way: "Thanks to Jiyan, now it's just a showman, don't be too excited." ”

Xie An walked in front and snickered in his heart, of course a mere talent didn't need to be so flattering to them, but he couldn't stand Xie Wenle bragging everywhere about how the Liu family was and how powerful Liu Ximing was as soon as he came back.

Xie An heard his lord and Mrs. Tai discussing the matter of the fourth lady and this lord, if nothing else, this lord would not be his own family in the future, so they couldn't help but care.

"Tin Destiny"

"Brother Shi"

When Liu Ximing entered the main hall, the Xie family was all waiting for him in the house, which made him a little flattered, Xie Wenle and Xie Chunxi, who were blushing slightly, got up to greet Liu Ximing when they saw him.

Liu Ximing hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but the way Old Madam Xie and Mrs. Xie Chengzhou looked at him and smiled made him a little frightened.

"After today, you will be a serious student, can you think about the rest of the matter?"

In the room, Xie Chengzhou was the most normal, and he sat indifferently on the main seat and smiled.

Liu Ximing hurriedly got up and handed over, "The little nephew is about to ask Shibo for advice, and I don't know where to learn in the house." ”

Meng Dynasty system, although Xiucai wants to enter the county school, but it is actually just a scene, the teachers in the county school are very average, at most, it is to urge you to keep learning, and at the same time conduct an annual assessment.

If students want to continue their studies, they still have to find another good teacher, otherwise why do there exist in various academies in various places?

Zhou Liangcai, as a student, is of course clear about this set of things, and he has already explained it clearly to Liu Ximing, so Liu Ximing's words are mainly to ask Xie Chengzhou if there are any famous teachers who can recommend.

Xie Chengzhou smiled: "In Shunqing Mansion, Jinquan Academy and Mingshan Academy are the most famous, the former has the Great Confucian He Yuanmou as the mountain chief, and the latter has the Great Confucian Lu Xingxian as the mountain chief, each with its own style and style. ”

"If you want to study, first, to see how good your skills are, and secondly, to see if your style of writing and the study you are governing have a good teacher to teach."

Xie Chengzhou pointed to Xie Wenle under the hall, "I have some relationship with Jinquan Academy, this rebel is going to send it there to seek a teacher, if you have the heart, you can also go together, and I will bring you a handwritten letter when the time comes." ”

Liu Ximing also heard the same kind of rhetoric from Zhou Liangcai, and now that he has Xie Chengzhou's recommendation, he is relieved.

Xie Wenle was overjoyed, and he didn't dare to say anything he wanted to say, so he could only turn his head and wink at Liu Ximing.

"It's a good thing to go to Jinquan Academy", Old Madam Xie smiled at Liu Ximing with a kind face, "With Wenle, Xi'er can also go to you to play tricks, lest she stay at home all day and hold back her problems." ”

"Ahem, cough, cough"

Xie Chengzhou covered his mouth and coughed wildly.

Liu Ximing looked at Xie Chengzhou a little strangely, and echoed: "That's right, the little sister is lively by nature, and it is really not suitable to be stuffy in the house, so as not to spoil her temperament." ”

"Really, then you ......", Xie Mengshi was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Xie Cheng's cough.

"You are also sixteen this year, and now that you have been selected as a student, it is quite indecent to be called by people all day long, you go back and remind your mother that it is time to give you a crown salute."

Xie Chengzhou glared at Xie Mengshi lightly, turned his head and reminded Liu Ximing with a smile.

Liu Ximing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered this question, it seemed to be really like what Xie Chengzhou said.

He is a scholar in the Shunqing realm, and how can he mix in the rivers and lakes without a table.

However, the Liu family is not a big family, and he doesn't have much impression of the crown ceremony in his memory, so he had to ask Xie Chengzhou: "Thank you Shibo for reminding me, but I don't know if there is anything special about this crown ceremony?" ”

"This depends on each family, those who have financial resources can do it big, and those who don't have financial resources can do it small, but in the case of your family, I suggest that you do it in a beautiful way, one to strengthen the momentum, and the other to make some friends."

"That must be a big deal", Xie Wenle finally couldn't help but pat his thigh and laughed.

"You don't know, the ancestral hall of the Ximing family is very beautiful, or I will go to you to do it." , Xie Wenle licked his face at Liu Ximing and smiled.

Xie Chengzhou's face sank, "Bastard, your own ancestors don't worship, what do you do when you go to someone else's house, is your skin itchy?" ”

"Anyway, it's not an outsider", Xie Wenle muttered a little aggrieved.

Liu Ximing didn't notice that Xie Chunxi, who was sitting next to him, had a redder face.

Seeing the daily life of Xie Chengzhou's father and son, Liu Ximing was amused, so he had to come out to play a round, "Since Shibo thinks that it should be a big one, then the little nephew will make a big one, and then invite Shibo and other elders to come to watch the ceremony." ”

"That's natural," Xie Chengzhou nodded, and said with a deep meaning on his face, "If you still know other officials, it's best to invite them to watch the ceremony as well." ”

Hehe, isn't this equivalent to telling the squires of Shunqing Mansion that there is another hometown gentry who is strong and strong, Liu Ximing suddenly understood what Xie Chengzhou meant.

However, the person who gave himself the crown salute had to think about it carefully, and Liu Ximing was constantly thinking about this issue all the way out of the Xie Mansion.

Today's county school is particularly lively, and most students choose to come to report on this day.

When Liu Ximing and Xie Wenle's carriage walked outside the county school, they ran into Du Liangji, Zhao Xiangyang and others who rushed over, and a group of people laughed and talked about entering the county school.

The clerks in the county government also went to the county school to work on the spot, and after the ceremony room was verified, the household registration information was changed from the household.

From today on, Liu Ximing and others can be regarded as talented students, not only have the right to be exempted from forced labor and reduce or exempt some taxes, but also can see officials and use slaves and maids.

Holding the jade-colored shirts of the students distributed on the spot, even Liu Ximing couldn't help but be excited, such as Chen Yiding, these people even found a room to change their clothes on the spot, and for a while, the county school was full of the names of this and that Xianggong.

"Xi Ming, are you going to enroll in the county school or go to the government school?"

Du Liangji asked Liu Ximing while changing into a shirt.

Liu Ximing had already discussed with Xie Wenle in the car, "Let's study in the county, anyway, I have to go to the academy to study, there is no difference in the county government, there is Wenle and his father in the county, but it is easier to talk." ”

"Then we will also study in the county", Zhao Xiangyang came over and looked at Du Liangji after speaking.

Du Liangji thought for a while and finally nodded, although his family has a lot to do with the school in the government, but it is not bad to go to the county school.

"Hahaha, you and my brothers work together, we will have the final say in this county school in the future, I want to think about it, we have to give it a majestic nickname to the outside world, or call it Nanchong Five Tigers."

Xie Wenle laughed arrogantly, and Chen Yiding was directly excluded by him when he was a lot older.

"Get out", everyone spoke in unison.

"You only use such a earthy name", Liu Ximing scolded with a smile.
