Naturally, it didn't take long to eat a bowl of noodles, and the Jinshi banquet ended quickly.

When he left the palace, Jia Rui walked very fast, leaving the other Jinshi behind, and soon left the Forbidden City.

"Tianxiang, what are you doing in such a hurry, everyone is about to separate, go their separate ways, and say goodbye together. We may not have the opportunity to meet in the future. ”

"Fushan, you are the first to stand up and speak, you are willing to go to the northwest, and the emperor will give you a seat. Now that everyone has to go to the northwest, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to meet people at this moment. ”

"Tianxiang, what do you mean?"

"I mean, you're afraid you'll be killed."

"Ouch, really, let's get away from them."

As soon as Ma Fushan understood, he overtook Jia Rui with a whoosh, and walked faster than Jia Rui.

As soon as I crossed the Jinshui Bridge, I heard a commotion behind me, and when I looked back, I saw a pair of Jinyi soldiers coming out and stopping the new Jinshi who had just come out of the palace, and then the Jinshi lined up in two teams, and under the escort of the Jinyi Army, they walked outside.

Jia Rui hurriedly walked forward, Ma Fushan followed closely, and when they arrived at Nanchizi, the two hid in the alley.

After a while, the Jinyi Army and the new science and technology scholars came from the main road.

"Tianxiang, how do you feel a little wrong, the Jinyi Army seems to be holding them."

Jia Rui also saw something unusual.

"Fukuyama, is it because you are afraid that the Jinshi will escape and not go to the northwest?"

Jia Rui really couldn't think of any other reason.

"It seems that this is the only explanation. Not many people want to go to the Northwest, and there aren't many people like me after all. ”

You are a second goods, you still know.

But this doesn't seem to blame him, that is, if he doesn't come out, the emperor should tell these people to go to the northwest, or go to the northwest.

The Jinshi team passed, and the two of them followed far behind. I didn't go in the direction of the tribute court, and finally entered the Guozijian.

After a while, a dozen brocade soldiers came out and ran in the direction of the Gongyuan.

Jia Rui and Ma Fushan came to Guozi Jian Menzi.

"You've got so many prisoners here at once."

Jarry said tentatively.

"What prisoner? They are all new science and technology scholars. ”

"Does the new science and technology jinshi also want to go to school in the country?"

"You don't understand it at first glance, let me tell you the truth, most of these new science and technology scholars are going to the northwest to become officials, and they are afraid that they will run away, so they will be locked up here and not allowed to go out until they take office."

Sure enough, now the officials have to be forced to go, whether this is an official or a thief.

The two were speechless along the way, silently returning to the steamed bun workshop.

"Tianxiang, are you hungry?"

I ate a bowl of noodles. , Jia Rui didn't eat enough.

"Ouch, I'm really hungry. Wait a minute, Chen Kui, go get some snacks and food, and let's have a few drinks. ”

Soon, Chen Kui and sister-in-law Liu sent a few dishes, two pots of wine and a few steamed buns.

"Fukuyama, come, have a full meal, I'm afraid it will be rare for you to eat such good wine and food in the future, you can eat more here in the past two days."

"Tianxiang, I don't think you seem to be giving me a guillotine. I'm going to be an official, but the northwest is a little harder, so I won't even be able to eat. ”

"Hehe, you're going to be an official? Well, the top priority in the northwest is the rebellion of the displaced people, after you go, how to deal with the displaced people? ”

"It's nothing more than the word soothing."

"Okay, let's talk about conquest first. Displaced people are everywhere, and if you want to conquer them, you have to have soldiers and horses, right? ”

"yes."

"In many prefectures and counties in the northwest, most of the officials were killed, and the remaining scribes, government officials and other servants also fled. You're in office, do you have anyone available? You can't go alone, can you? ”

"Isn't there a guard post and a command envoy in the local area?"

"Nowadays, most of the health centers in various places are alive and dead. Even if there is, it is not usable. If it is useful, where has it reached the point where the displacement is everywhere? ”

"If the conquest doesn't work, then appease."

"Okay, you appease. How to appease the homeless? They will eat, do you have food in your hands? Is there any money? ”

"It's to raise money and food, and where are you going to raise it? If there is a place to raise it, who will raise it for you? There was no one in the yamen. Even the yamen was occupied and burned by the homeless, and you didn't even have a place to live when you went. ”

"After all, it's Lang Lang, it's not as serious as you say."

Okay, well, you are just a newcomer to the officialdom who has just left school, and you are still an idealist, just waiting for the cruel reality to teach you how to be a man.

After eating and drinking silently for a while, Ma Fushan finally couldn't help it.

"Tianxiang, what would you do if you went to the northwest? You're good at practice, and you'll have a solution, right? ”

"I'll find a way to survive first. For example, doing business, or working to earn some money. Or get a few acres of land to farm. ”

"We're going to be officials."

"Yes, when you go to an enemy-occupied area to become an official, the homeless people are angry, and they are waiting to kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials."

"I'm not a corrupt official."

"I know you're not a corrupt official, but do you know? Those officials who were killed, who can say that they are all corrupt officials? If you kill the red eye, who cares if you are a corrupt official or not? ”

"Got there. The traffic is isolated, that is, whether Yu Lu can get it, they all talk about it. After a long time, the disc on your body is entangled, how do you survive? It's not easy to come back. ”

"It can't be so miserable, right? I still have more than a hundred taels of silver on me. ”

"There are thieves everywhere, and there are vagrants everywhere, what if someone robs them?"

"But I don't know how to do business, I don't know how to farm, I only have a lot of knowledge. This one....... ”

Ma Fushan really thought too simply, and did not come out of the mindset of the scholar and the official master. The severity of the situation in the northwest was also underestimated.

If it weren't for the very critical time, where would these little newcomers in the officialdom be called there to help?

With no money, no soldiers, no administrative experience, no staff, and empty-handed to go to that place where there is no need to be fed to be an official, in fact, it is no different from sending him to death.

As for Ma Fushan's belly of knowledge, it is useless at all when he goes to that kind of place.

People can't even eat their stomachs, and they may die at any time, who listens to your sage books, great truths?

"I'll teach you how to survive."

Jarry pulls out a deck of poker and finds three cards. They are the one of hearts, the one of spades, and the one of diamonds.

"This is called throwing three cards, and when you have no money on you, and when you are at the end of the road, you can set up a stall in a place where there are many people on the street, and you don't need anything else, just these three cards, you can make some money."

"You don't necessarily make a lot of money, but you can do it every time you go to a place and put a few games on it, and you can do it all the way back."

Jia Rui taught the three-card game that he often saw on the streets in his previous life.

Although it is a small trap, it has been popular for many years, and many people know that it is a scam, and many people still fall for it.

It may not be possible to make a lot of money, but it is not difficult to mix a few meals and live in the store.

This is a life-saving craft at the end of the road.

Otherwise, if a jinshi steals, robs, or asks for food, Jia Rui feels ashamed.

That's what Sven sweeps the floor.

"Tianxiang, this seems to be a deception?"

"That's right, it's a lie. This is a last resort, and it should only be used as a last resort. Is there any other way to make money besides this? ”

"I can sell words and poems and ......, forget it, Cang Liao knows etiquette and etiquette, and he can't even eat enough, who will buy any poems?"

Alas, it's finally a bit of an enlightenment.
