Chapter 6: The King's Degree

"I'm so hungry." Wang Xiucai said secretly in his heart.

He barely had the strength to walk, and he couldn't remember how many years he hadn't had enough to eat. But hunger is especially heavy during this period.

He was so depressed that he could barely walk. I can only lean against the wall and move in the direction of my home little by little.

I don't know how long I walked before I saw the familiar and dilapidated courtyard gate. He walked in, but there was no sound inside, and he suddenly panicked in his heart, a few days ago, the neighborhood, when he went home, he found that the old mother, wife and children had starved to death. At that time, it was so quiet. He stumbled inside. But I saw my wife holding the girl and sitting in a pile of straw. He listened carefully, and breathed.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

Just thinking about today's exam, he felt sad. But he didn't dare to cry, so he could only grit his teeth and let the tears flow down from the corners of his eyes.

Wang Du couldn't remember what he had written. Because he was so hungry, even if he smelled the ink, he wanted to eat the ink ingots at the first time. I just remember that I had a piece of paper written all over it. But I don't remember what it says at all.

Such a familiar feeling has been felt several times, and every time it feels like this, it is a sign of the name of Sun Shan.

But this time he had no way out, and he didn't know how to face his wife and children.

"Official. You're back. A faint voice remembered the voice of Wang Xiucai's wife, and I don't know if Wang Xiucai's cry alarmed her, or if she was awakened by hunger.

Wang Xiucai's wife is also the daughter of an old child, and when she saw Wang Xiucai's appearance, she knew that he might have returned in vain this time. I don't ask.

"Daddy." Nan Nan also woke up and said, "Daddy, I'm hungry." ”

Wang Xiucai couldn't hold back anymore, hugged his head and cried with his wife, and couldn't even cry bitterly, because they didn't have the strength to cry anymore.

"Dad, mother" Nan Nan was very thin, her head was very big, her eyes were especially big, and her dripping eyes were no longer energetic, and she said, "Don't cry, eat me." The sister next door was eaten. ”

The child didn't know what it meant to eat, and seemed to think that as long as she ate her, the family would be fine.

Wang Xiucai was even more grief-stricken and said, "Don't worry, Daddy will get you something to eat." ”

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door, and a neutral voice said, "Is this Wang Du's family?" ”

Wang Du was suddenly shocked in his heart. Listening to this voice, he knew that the person who came was probably a strong man, he quickly wiped his tears, took out a long stick, hid it behind him, and then opened the door and found that it was several soldiers. said: "You are?" ”

The person who came was none other than Zhou Fuchen. Publish the list

After that, he was responsible for going to the Chinese speaker to find it. Zhou Fuchen handed over the matter of finding others to the people below and came to Wang Du in person. Because Wang Du is the first.

"Mr. Wang, you are the first in the examination in the government today, and the government specially invites you to come over." Zhou Fuchen was still more polite to Wang Du.

After all, Zhou Fuchen was the one who served as Zhang Xuan's personal guard. Very well-informed, of course he knows that these people will definitely be reused, and he can't say that he will find some people to do things in the future.

"Really?" Wang Du, also known as Wang Xiucai, said. He could hardly believe it. How many levels of his own articles are there, how can he not know them? If he really had the level, he wouldn't have been able to even win a show for so many years.

However, he didn't know that the people who took the exam this time didn't know how much they were just literate, and they didn't know how the Baguwen was written. No matter how bad Wang Du's ability is, the format he wrote is indeed correct. With one point, he stood out and became the leader of this exam.

It can only be said that it is just a tall one among the shorties.

Zhou Fuchen looked at Wang Du's house, and then looked at Wang Du's complexion, and knew that Wang Du's house had been cut off. said: "Of course it's true, who would joke about this kind of thing." Mr. Wang will definitely be reused. Why don't you come with me to the government? I don't dare to say anything else, but the house of the government is in charge of food, including family members. ”

Listen to the rice. Wang Du's eyes lit up. Without saying a word, he took his family to the palace.

When Wang Du arrived, there were already many people in the palace, all of whom had passed this test, and at this moment they and their families were gathered around the table, eating a pot of white porridge.

Ordinary rice, ordinary water, is also boiled very thin, but these people eat it as if it were a delicacy, and they want to eat it with their tongues.

After you have eaten your fill. The girl also became cheerful, and when she was full, she was like a little rabbit, scurrying around in the palace. Wang Du specially instructed that women were not allowed to go out of the courtyard of the government office, the space of the government office was not small, and each gate was guarded by soldiers. People from outside can't get in, and Wang Du is relieved.

Just after eating, Wang Du was called over by Zhang Qian.

As soon as Wang Du saw Zhang Qian, he immediately saluted and said, "The student has seen the teacher. ”

Zhang Zhen said: "Among this group of people, you are the only one who reads. Know some etiquette. Can you be famous? ”

"I'm ashamed." Wang Du said: "The ancestors of the students also have a reputation for showing their talents, but when it comes to the generation of students, they are extremely ashamed and do not have the slightest fame. ”

"It's also a scholarly family." Zhang Zhen looked at Wang Du a little more and said, "But the world lives in Ruyang? ”

"Students have lived in Ruyang for eight generations." Wang Du said.

"It can be returned to the vicinity of Ruyang

Familiar? Zhang Zhen said.

"Familiar, couldn't be more familiar." Wang Du said.

Zhang Zhen nodded, and said secretly in his heart: "With people who are familiar with the local situation, whether it is making up households, measuring land, or granting land, it is easier." That's it. ”

"Tomorrow the general will summon you, and with the general's temper, he will definitely ask you something." Zhang Zhen said: "When the time comes, you have to answer well." It's about your future. ”

Wang Du suddenly became nervous and said, "But I don't know what the general will ask?" ”

"The question asked by the general must be related to the three major events of household arrangement, land measurement, and land granting." Zhang Zhen said. Then he told him about these things.

Zhang Xuan has never thought of keeping some policies secret, because these big measures have never been kept secret. But the transmission of news in this era is very slow, and the news spread throughout the army, the people in Runing City have not heard it.

"The general's plan is not small." As soon as Wang Du heard Zhang Qian's words, he couldn't help but blurt out.

Any reader who sees what Zhang Xuan has done can come to the same conclusion. 7

"Indeed." Zhang Zhen said: "Now that the court is mediocre, I don't know what it will look like in the future, don't be bothered by why thieves don't follow thieves, and now officials are like thieves, thieves are like officials, who will be officials in the future, who is a thief, maybe you can do things with peace of mind." Remember what I said, and when you get back, think about it. ”

"Yes." Wang Du said: "Students understand that they will definitely live up to the teacher's hard work. ”

After Wang Du returned, he returned to his own chamber. There were many vacant rooms in the government to house these newcomers. Nan Nan is very happy today, and he has been refusing to sleep, and Wang is really coaxing him. And Wang Du was lying on the bed, and he didn't know where he had flown to.

"This General Zhang has such a big mind, it seems that he may really be able to achieve great things." Wang Du's heart was hot, and he seemed to think that he also had the skill of the dragon and soared one day.

Then he thought about how this general was defeated, and he would definitely have a day when he hung the city gate.

"Come on," Wang Du thought, "don't think so much. Let's take a look at the present. ”

Wang Du carefully figured out Zhang Xuan's household arrangement, measured the land, and granted the land, and deduced it over and over again in his heart, and always felt that there was something wrong.

He thought about it almost all night, and finally figured out what was wrong. When I came in the morning, I sat still and wrote a large draft in my heart. It was not until after the afternoon that I heard what Zhou Fuchen said that General Zhang was invited.

Wang Du's heart moved, and he said secretly: "Whether it can be done or not depends on this." Then he was surrounded by several horsemen and left the palace and went to the Chongwang Mansion, which is now the Runing Jiedu Embassy.
