"Brother Xu, I hope that Brother Xu will not shirk these fifty taels of thin silver. I hope that Brother Xu can prepare for the exam with his heart, Mo is disturbed by firewood, rice, oil and salt, and his energy is distracted. In fact, Ping An should have taken out more silver taels, but Ping An was responsible for reorganizing the army and leading the militia to fight against the Japanese, and he spent countless money and food, so he was really powerless, and I hope that Brother Xu will not dislike it. ”

After being full of wine and food, Zhu Ping'an took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his sleeve, handed it to Xu Wei with both hands, and said with a serious face.

"How could it be, how could it be ......" Xu Wei didn't mean to refuse at all, and immediately stretched out his greasy paws to take away the silver ticket from Zhu Ping'an's hand, and his small eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

Seeing that Xu Wei took the silver ticket unceremoniously, Liu Dadao was distressed, but he knew that all the money on Zhu Ping'an's body had been invested in military expenses, and the fifty taels of silver were the only emergency silver left.

"Brother Xu, when you are leaving, Ping An will say one more word, and I hope Brother Xu will not blame you." Zhu Ping'an arched his hand.

"As long as you don't want to return the fifty taels of silver, it doesn't matter how many words you say." Xu Wei stuffed the fifty taels of silver tickets into his arms, then waved his hand, and said with a fat smile on his face.

"Peace is actually repeated." Zhu Ping'an said with a smile.

"Hehe, then it's okay for you to talk about it." Xu Wei grinned.

"Brother Xu may not like to hear this sentence, but Ping'an still has to say it, I hope Brother Xu will pay attention to one or two ......" Zhu Ping'an arched his hand and reminded Xu Wei, "In the imperial examination, the most important thing is the eight-strand composition." The eight-strand composition is to interpret the righteousness of the scriptures, to speak on behalf of the saints, and not to deviate from the holy language and the views of the four books and the five classics. Brother Xu's understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics is far beyond ordinary people, but in the imperial examination, it is still necessary to restrain one or two, and do not contradict the views of the sage and contradict the meaning of the sage. ”

All in all, in short, Zhu Ping'an just wanted to remind Xu Wei not to carry personal personal goods during the imperial examination.

The fundamental reason for Xu Wei's failure in the imperial examination was that his thinking was too advanced, and there were many contradictions with the words of Confucius and Mencius and other sages.

Maybe he didn't notice it himself during the exam, or maybe he did, but he didn't control his thoughts; Or maybe he noticed it and controlled it, but he couldn't hide it between the lines. Whatever the reason, if you carry private goods in the imperial examination, then no matter how good you write, it will be a zero-score essay.

Since Xu Wei is bent on taking the road of the imperial examination at the moment, Zhu Ping'an, as a friend, has the responsibility and obligation to remind Xu Wei, asking him to pay attention and pay attention again, be careful and be careful, and not make similar problems again.

"Hehe, this is the most basic point of the eight strands, I naturally know." When Xu Wei heard this, he couldn't help laughing, with the expression of a person coming over, he thought that Zhu Ping'an was going to say something, but he didn't expect it to be this.

"I hope Brother Xu remembers." After Zhu Ping'an told him repeatedly, he said goodbye to Xu Wei and left.

"Good, good, remember, remember."

Behind Zhu Ping'an, Xu Wei waved his hand perfunctorily, not taking Zhu Ping'an's words to heart at all.

Even if I go through the imperial examination, I still know this.

Such a simple mistake, how could I, Xu Wei, make it. The meaning of the saint, I Xu Wei couldn't be clearer......

In fact, when he came out of Xu Wei's house, Zhu Ping'an was already slightly drunk, after all, his alcohol consumption has not been very good. Although the degree of rice wine was lower, after drinking five or six glasses of wine with Xu Wei, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but get slightly drunk.

Walking on the street back, it was dusk, the sun had set at this time, only the afterglow was in the western sky, the breeze was blowing, it was cool, and Zhu Ping'an's slightly hot face felt much more comfortable.

"The Japanese invaded Taizhou again, and they traveled several miles in a row, besieged the city and captured the town, killed and captured the residents, and the local people were devastated......

"But no, it's too miserable, I heard that a county town was also broken by the Japanese invaders, and the county orders were all killed."

At this moment, people were coming and going on the street, and suddenly the sound of pedestrians talking on the side of the road came into Zhu Ping'an's ears.

The Japanese invaded Taizhou again, and the county seat was breached......

After these keywords were introduced to Zhu Ping'an's ears, Zhu Ping'an suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the alcohol disappeared.

"Brother Tai, I'm sorry, do you know what the situation is in Jingnan County?"

Zhu Ping'an was in a cold sweat, quickly caught up with the passers-by, and asked eagerly while apologizing.

Zhu Ping'an came from Jingnan to take up his post, and he has been the county magistrate in Jingnan for so long, and his feelings for Jingnan are not ordinarily deep, nor are his feelings for the people of Jingnan ordinarily deep.

"Jingnan? Little brother, I'm sorry, I don't know the situation in Jingnan, and I'm also hearsay. ”

"I don't know."

A few pedestrians shook their heads, not knowing the situation in Jingnan.

"What is the county seat that those people just said was breached?" Zhu Ping'an asked again.

"It seems to be near the sea, and it seems to be peaceful, I don't remember it very clearly, and we are also hearsay. If you really want to know, I suggest that the little brother go to the teahouse in front and ask, we heard about it there. ”

Pedestrian return road.

"Thank you, thank you." Zhu Ping'an thanked them.

People are a little selfish to some extent, hearing pedestrians say that the county seat that was attacked is Linhai County or Taiping County, Zhu Ping'an regretted the two counties in his heart, but also felt a little relieved, not Jingnan, fortunately not Jingnan......

After thanking the pedestrians, Zhu Ping'an took Liu Mu and Liu Dadao to the teahouse guided by the pedestrians-a pot of spring teahouse.

Zhu Ping'an entered the teahouse and found that there were still many people in the teahouse, and the storyteller was in the middle of the platform, and what he was talking about was what happened to Taizhou. Zhu Ping'an borrowed ten cents from Liu Mu, ordered a pot of the cheapest tea, and the three of them sat there to listen to Mr. Storyteller.

After listening to about a cup of tea, Zhu Ping'an almost heard the situation of the Japanese in Taizhou.

This time the Japanese invaded Taizhou was Chen Dong, the big leader under Wang Zhi's command, who seduced and gathered nearly 10,000 Japanese invaders to invade eastern Zhejiang, and landed in the area of Xiangshan and Zhoushan in Zhejiang. This time, the Japanese robbers committed the crime, which belonged to the passing fast robbery, and the attack area was very wide and had a great impact, but it did not focus on attacking the city, and the attack was only a tentative attack. Linhai County was more unlucky, under the tentative attack of the Japanese invaders, the county seat was captured, and the county orders were killed.

Zhu Ping'an specially asked Mr. Storyteller about the situation in Jingnan, and Mr. Storyteller only knew that Jingnan was the county with the least casualties in Taizhou, but as for the specific casualties, he did not know.

Although he did not know the specific casualties in Jingnan, Zhu Ping'an was greatly relieved to hear that Jingnan was the county with the least damage.
