When planting seedlings, it is tiring and hard, but pulling seedlings is extremely fast, and when you have to carry a hoe, it is a few points faster, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to an acre of land.

Gan Qi and the other nine people, in one morning, almost cleared out thirty acres of land.

It's just that Gan Qi didn't expect that in the middle of the afternoon, he could see a government mission coming from the main road from a distance, and the efficiency of this official mansion really exceeded Gan Qi's expectations.

Yacha approached: "Which one is Ganqi?" ”

Gan Qi stood up and replied, "I am, I don't know what you do?" ”

"Let's take a trip, shall we? Someone sued you to Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Longtu is on duty today, waiting for you. "The yacha is not here to get people, but to inform Gan Qi to respond to the lawsuit.

Gan Qi nodded, went to the river to wash his hands, and went with the yacha. Gan Ba and the others hurriedly followed behind, with bitter faces one by one, like mourning.

Gan Qi was not in a hurry, he remembered Kaifeng Mansion and Bao Zheng in his heart, and suddenly unconsciously hummed a tune in his mouth: "There is a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng, who is selfless and loyal and treacherous, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes come to help...... Dangdang...... I forgot the word. ”

The yacha who led the way in front of the head heard the tune, glanced back, and said: "Eh, your little song is very good, but I have never heard such a tune in the Wafu Teahouse, I don't know what it is singing?" ”

"Singing nonsense." Gan Qi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, prevaricated at random, and also asked: "Do you have two poor people named Wang Dynasty Mahan in Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

Hearing this, Yacha thought about it and shook his head: "Dynasty Mahan? Haven't heard of it. ”

Gan Qi was slightly disappointed, Wang Dynasty Mahan was Bao Zheng's side guard, from the novel "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness". There is obviously a difference between reality and fiction. As for another famous Nanxia Zhanzhao next to Bao Zheng, there is no need to ask.

Kaifeng Mansion is an administrative body, and Bianliang City is under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, but Kaifeng Mansion is far more than Bianliang City, just as the jurisdiction of the Beijing Municipal Government in later generations is not limited to the city.

In fact, Bao Zheng has a great reputation, but his official position is not very high, but his power is not small. Knowing Kaifeng Mansion is a position from the three products. Longtu Pavilion straight bachelor, also from the third grade. Longtu Pavilion is probably the Royal Library, and Straight Bachelor is an honorary title.

Kaifeng Mansion is tall and majestic, located in the west of the inner city, not far from the east of Jiaozimen.

Entering the gate, the front yard passed, and entered the lobby, with more than a dozen people standing on the left and right, with a thick water and fire stick in hand, and a waist knife.

When Gan Qi entered the door, he saw Gan Sanye and Gan Zheng's father and son, who were waiting respectfully, and when they saw Gan Qi coming in, they didn't speak, but they demonstrated with Gan Qi a few times.

Ganchi walked to the other side and stood up.

After staying for a while, I heard someone shouting: "Bao Long has arrived!" ”

A slightly chubby old man walked in, dressed in a bright red official robe and wearing a winged official hat, and walked to the front of the lobby and sat down.

Everyone hurriedly bowed down to salute, Gan Qi was surprised while saluting, and said that his face was as black as charcoal? What about the crescent moon on the top of the head? Why is this Bao Qingtian's face as white as jade, and there is still red in the white?

After Gan Qi saw Bao Zheng come in, he kept a straight face, and somewhat guessed why later generations said that he had a big black face.

Shocked, the big black-faced Bao Zheng spoke: "The complaint has been read by the official, which one is Gan Qi?" ”

Gan Qi hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Student Gan Qi." ”

Bao Zheng heard the word "student", frowned slightly, and asked: "In the complaint, it is said that you don't know how to learn and have no skills, and you only know how to wander the streets, how dare you call yourself a student in front of this official?" ”

Gan Zheng, a student of Guozi Studies on the side, has not been a person with Gan Qi since he was a child, and he also looks down on Gan Qi, a rich child in the village who only knows how to wander the streets. How dare you call yourself a student in front of Bao Longtu? ”

The Great Song Dynasty is a real subordination of everything, only reading is high. When ordinary people see officials, they all call themselves "small" and "villain". Those who can call themselves students must be backward readers who really have some ink. This is extremely important etiquette.

Gan Qi didn't expect that calling himself a "student" would cause so much trouble, and Gan Qi didn't want to call himself a villain or something, so he chose to choose a self-titled "student".

But Gan Qi was not weak-hearted, glanced at Gan Zheng, and replied: "Bao Longtu, the person who sued, is naturally trying to find ways to attack the defendant. The student is a scholarly family, and his father has been a lifter, and he has been studying since he was a child, and now he is also diligent in learning. Now he is being falsely accused, but because his father is dead, but there is still money left in the family, and there is also a person who conceives a bi. ”

"Tian is shameless, you dare to call yourself a scholar? Which book did you read? Which school did you enter? In the face of the Bao Bei system, do you dare to be so open-mouthed? Gan Zheng said righteous words. To be systematized, like Long Tu, is Bao Zheng's honorific title as the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Bao Zheng above the lobby frowned deeply, a student of Guozi School sued, and the complaint was neatly written, Bao Zheng thought that the case should be tried well, but he didn't want the defendant to say anything, and the words and words really didn't look like a street prodigal who didn't learn or know.

Bao Zheng asked: "Gan Qi, have you ever tested your fame?" ”

Gan Qi replied: "Back to Bao Longtu, my father often accumulates thick words, teaching students not to be overly high-handed. Therefore, the students thought that they were not fully prepared and had not taken the meritorious test. ”

The Great Song Dynasty and the Ming and Qing dynasties were different in the imperial examination system. First of all, the Song Dynasty did not organize formal examinations for talents, and the imperial examinations began directly from the examination of people. Most of the qualifications of the examiners come from local recommendations, or the localities hold some of their own selection examinations.

The process of lifting people in the examination and then taking the Jinshi examination needs to be completed in one go, and the qualification for lifting people is often one-time. Of course, there is a big difference in status and identity when people are promoted in the examination.

In the Song Dynasty, more relied on government-run schools, and the qualifications for the examination also came from government-run schools in various places.

Even the students of Taixue and Guozixue had the qualifications to be directly recommended to be admitted to the Jinshi, and later the three-way law was reformed, and the students in the Guozijian even graduated with the qualification to be directly officials.

Entering the official school is not so simple for the students of the Song Dynasty.

Bao Zheng frowned even more when he heard Gan Qi's words, and seemed to feel that Gan Qi's words were not very credible, but he didn't make a direct conclusion, but thought for a moment.

At this time, Gan Zheng said angrily and said: "Bao is waiting to be systematic, don't listen to this guy's clever words, he is a street prodigal, a scoundrel-like character." Now, as the elder of the clan, my father disciplined him for his ruined behavior, because he was afraid that he would bury his father's life's hard work. However, this son was so stubborn that he refused to obey the discipline, so he had no choice but to file a complaint with the government office, and he asked for a package to be taken away. ”

In this era, the family is the most basic part of the entire country. From the Han and Tang dynasties onwards, the imperial power never went to the countryside again, and before the Han and Tang dynasties, there were grass-roots government positions such as pavilion chiefs and chiefs. In the Song Dynasty and even later, the grassroots relied on autonomy and family gentry management.

This is also the reason why the grassroots mobilization capacity declined in the dynasties after the Han and Tang dynasties. The imperial power does not go to the countryside, in fact, it is also a decline in national strength.

Therefore, Gan Sanye used this excuse to sue Gan Qi, which has a certain amount of truth in folk etiquette.

The question is whether Gan Qi is such an uneducated and unskilled prodigal, whether he is a loser. This is important.

After thinking about it, Bao Zheng finally asked, "Gan Qi, what are you usually good at?" Is it a saint classic? Or is it an article poem? Or maybe it's a tune wordcard? ”

If you want to say that Bao Zheng really lives up to his reputation, the trial of the case is really very fair, and it stands to reason that the students of Guozixue came to sue, and the credibility of the complaint is extremely high. Bao Zheng still listened to the truth, giving Gan Qi a chance to defend himself.
