Chapter 243: Martial Arts (11)

The first pass passed, and more than 8,000 people of all kinds of tributes passed through 7,900 people, some of whom passed once, some of whom were not ready for the first time, and who came the second time. There are less than 100 people left who have not passed, that is to say, 7,900 people, no matter whether they succeed or not, they will have to respect Xu Qing's mentor. Even if Xu Qing only said a few words of encouragement on the stage, he still had to thank Xu Qing for his kindness.

But there were a hundred people left, and Xu Qing didn't let them leave, it just so happened that Lawyer Pei and Luo Tong were doing that diversion thing, Xu Qing wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could pick up a few treasures.

"Ahem, are you elected by the state and county, or are you the heroes of the rivers and lakes?" Xu Qing sat on a high ground and looked at the more than 100 people standing below with their heads bowed and asked.

When those people heard this, they replied hesitantly, among them, there were those recommended by the state and county, there were also reckless heroes, and there were those who recommended themselves. Xu Qing nodded, the states and counties below are too, how can anyone be promoted, those reckless and reckless momentary anger is just that, isn't it nonsense that the state and county are so promoted? Xu Qing looked at their identities and household registrations, and found that there were no sons and brothers in them. So with a chance to take a chance, he said to the people below: "You can have unique skills, you can report to the general, if the general thinks it is available, you can be promoted to high school without trying, and even directly awarded the official title." ”

Those people looked at each other, and some people were ashamed. But when he saw a person coming out of the queue, he arched his hand and said: "The late Wu Sheng visited the Marquis of Xuanping." ”

Xu Qingxin said hello, looked at it, and saw that his face was pale, and his body was as thin as firewood, I don't know how this kind of person came into Wuju. But people can't be good-looking, Xu Qing thinks that if he has other strategic strengths, he may not be able to appoint. And he let him get up and speak.

Wu Sheng opened his mouth and said: "Marquis Xuanping, he has a stunt in his later life, but he has excellent eyesight, and he can look thousands of feet away. ”

Qianzhang is three thousand meters, six miles of road, Xu Qing didn't believe it in his heart, he used a telescope to look at Qianzhang, and he could only roughly distinguish the difference between people and horses, so I don't know how capable this Wu Sheng is. So he wrote down a "positive" on the paper, showed it to Wu Sheng and asked, "Do you recognize this word?" ”

Wu Sheng arched his hand and said: "This is an orthography, and I will know it in my later life." ”

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll let the soldiers take it to the distance, and you have to tell whether the orthography is upside down, whether it is lying down, and how it is lying." How is it? ”

Wu Sheng also smiled and said: "This matter is Yi'er, this orthography is as big as a bucket, and I can see it clearly no matter how far I go." ”

Such a big breath!

Xu Qing waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take the paper. The first place was placed three hundred zhang away. Wu Sheng glanced at it and blurted out: "I didn't lie down or lie down." But at this time, those who stood and had nothing to do could also have several people to say, and Xu Qing himself could afford to scream. Xu Qing waved his hand again, and ran over a hundred feet. At this time, in Xu Qing's eyes, there was only one black dot left in this orthography, which was the same whether he was lying down, but Xu Qing looked at Wu Sheng again, and still blurted out: "Lie down!" Then he made a pose to indicate whether the orthography was lying on the left or right. Xu Qing sent someone to confirm it, and came to the conclusion that it was the same as what Wu Sheng said.

Five hundred zhang, "upside down!" ”

Seven hundred zhang, "obliquely!" ”

Eight hundred zhang, "Hmph, the orthography is on the back of the paper, and it doesn't appear at all." ”

At nine hundred and fifty zhang, Wu Sheng frowned and pressed his forehead with his hand to make him clearer, but in the end he still said the answer: "It's diagonal again......"

Xu Qing shouted: "Okay, good, good eyes!" ”

Wu Sheng arched his hand and said: "Xuanping Hou has won the award, this is the ability of his late life, but it is just a small skill of carving insects, which is useless in the army and the country." But to be able to show this ability to Xuanping Hou today is a great honor for his later life. ”

Xu Qing hurriedly said: "Why do you say this, having a skill is more useful than Wanguan's family wealth, cough cough, this Hou gave you the position of a subordinate ceremony, you can stay by the general's side." Someday, you'll be able to use your stunts. After Xu Qing passed the first pass, the whole scene was the role of picking up garbage, but he picked up garbage, and he also had some official positions in his hands that could be appointed. Menxia ceremonies, belonging to the position of Menzi, he has fifty places in his hands, and there are about a hundred halberds, but he is not a halberd, the difference is one word, and he goes thousands of miles, and the halberd is just the guard in charge of the officials. There are also five Si Ge positions, which can be regarded as people who are on a par with the team, but they do not lead troops or guard, but run errands. Therefore, even if there are no top 300 in high school, as long as Xu Qing takes a fancy to them, they can stand out among these 8,000 people, with a total of 155 official positions.

Xu Qing didn't say a word and sent out a ceremony under the door, but he made all the hundred people present scorched.

"When, become an official? I'm an official!? Wu Sheng never expected that in the blink of an eye, he had been directly promoted from an outsider in martial arts to a winner in martial arts. Isn't martial arts just to be an official? Although he didn't know what kind of official this subordinate was, it didn't sound like an ordinary soldier. Xu Qing explained that this ceremony is divided into the ceremony under the camp gate, and it is responsible for managing travel in the camp. The ceremonies of the Chinese army are responsible for the etiquette of the personnel entering and leaving the Chinese army and the meetings of the Chinese army. One order smaller than the team, from the ninth grade. Speaking of which, it is like a "camp instructor" in later generations.

"Jiupin hahaha, from Jiupin," Wu Shengle smiled and spoke, although it was the lowest rank among the officials, it was not bad. Those Lizheng township chiefs can no longer oppress my family.

Xu Qing sent it out as a petty official, and those individuals were all shocked, and hurriedly thought about what stunts they had, but those people found that there was nothing outstanding about them except for sleeping soundly and eating a lot. Oh, that's when they realize that their lives have been wasted, and it's too late to regret it! Seeing that no one had appeared, Xu Qing waved his hand and drove them out. He turned to Wu Sheng and said, "Now that you are also an official, you have received an official uniform and a sword, and I will give you some coils, you can go home and report a message." ”

Wu Sheng knelt down and said, "Late life, thank you for your promotion!" ”

---- Cangzhou

At this time, Cangzhou had received Xu Qing's letter for a long time, and with Xu Qing's letter, there were also a large number of businessmen with strong funds brought by Luonan Yangwen, and merchants who bought a lot of grain along the way.

Zhao Lu and Qin Shi took the soldiers and personally greeted them on the border of Xingzhou. Unfortunately, a large wave of thieves attacked the caravan. Fortunately, the soldiers brought by Qin Shi were left by Xu Qing, and they were as strong as this, and they killed all the thieves. also divided the troops into six routes, and took a few of the thieves' nests. In some families of the family in southern Hebei, there are always a few old men who are so angry that they vomit blood.

Soon after, Qin Shi Zhao Lu sold all the grain brought by Yang Wen and others according to Xu Qing's strategy, and slightly solved the grain crisis of the people in southern Hebei. In addition, in Xingzhou and Cangzhou, the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce issued a notice to say that all small landlords could form caravans and join the Chamber of Commerce. However, the chamber of commerce formed must be owned by the small landowners themselves.

As soon as this order was issued, the small landlords could no longer ignore the ban of those clans, and sold their grain at low prices. At the beginning, in order to keep the market price high, the Dashi clan also paid for its own purchase. But when they got to the back, they found that the small landlords had too much grain in storage, and the money in their hands was a drop in the bucket. When they got to the back, they raised their hands and surrendered, and one of the clans lowered the price to sell grain. Someone relaxed, and then the price of food fell like an avalanche. But they found that even if the price of this grain was put at parity, no one would buy it. Because there is too much grain in the small landlords' homes, the price of grain has already been pushed to half of the normal level! Where the locust plague broke out, the price of this grain was even lower than that of the state and county next door!

If the grain cannot be sold, the funds cannot be recovered. These clans have started their own caravans to sell grain outside southern Hebei, and while the price of grain outside has not fallen, they hurriedly earn the money back. As a result, starting with Cangzhou as the center, within dozens of days, grain prices in Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi also fell one after another. Before the summer grain harvest, grain prices were lower than after the summer grain harvest. Moreover, looking at the trend of grain prices, it will definitely not rise after the summer grain harvest, and then it will come to the autumn harvest, and it will not rise even more after the autumn harvest. If the price of grain does not rise, the people will not sell it, and the food hoarding at home will not rise even next year. The huge amount of grain hoarded by the clans will be turned into loess in this crisis of plummeting food prices.

As soon as the price of grain fell, the prices of various products in all kinds of industries also fell. After all, in ancient times, grain was a more valuable hard currency than real money. The people don't know much about silver and gold, but they don't know the rice of white flowers, which is really unprecedented. The people are naturally happy to enjoy the benefits of low food prices and low prices of various products, but the wealthy families and wealthy merchants are sad. Fortunately, the wealthy businessmen went to the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce to take a breath, and the chance of them being added was relatively large. The Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce also does business, although it still pours low-cost mold in southern Hebei, but the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce has a way to make money abroad. As long as these wealthy businessmen invest money in and form a fleet, they can distribute dividends according to the number of times, in short, the money in this family will not be spent in vain, and the hoarded goods can be directly invested as the goods of the fleet.

But the family has declined, they want to join the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce, but they are categorically refused, of course, the words still have to be said nicely: "The aristocracy is a century-old wealthy family, the clear stream is extreme, I am a businessman, a pariah also, if we do business with you, we are afraid that the people will talk about it, saying that we are high." You, please come back......."

The local government that has always supported the Shi clan is also dumbfounded, and the price of grain has dropped, relieving them of the suffering of the locust plague, and the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce has not taken the credit. Let those assassins take the credit for the drop in grain prices on themselves, so they also gave Cangzhou a great deal of face in this matter. The family petitioned, all said that they were sick, and once they couldn't hide, they would perfunctory find a small mistake and punish the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce for a little silver. As for the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce, the attitude of admitting mistakes is excellent, and the fines are often paid in double copies!

South Hebei Province has also received taxes from Cangzhou, one Cangzhou, more than three other states and counties in southern Hebei!

If you have money, you have money, what other official position, reputation, land, we don't have it, our Chamber of Commerce, our Cangzhou, we are rich!
