Xia Dynasty, the emperor's name is "Xia Ding"

The entire Xia Dynasty is divided into one hundred and eight frontiers, with hundreds of millions of people in the country, it is the first power in the world, in addition to the Xia Dynasty, there are three countries around, namely the Vast Grassland Alliance, the Million Mountain Tribes, and the Infinite Ocean Island Country.

The humanistic habits and lifestyle of the Xia Dynasty are no different from Ling Xia, although the characters are traditional characters, but fortunately, Ling Xia knows them. The accent of his speech is similar to Mandarin, not as crepe as he is on TV, his clothes are quite Ming Dynasty style, and there is not much difference in food.

At present, the place where Ling Xia is located is called "Linlangjiang," to be specific, it is Linlangjiang, Zhongmiao Province, Hedaofu, and Chong'an County.

The Xia Dynasty used the decimal system for geographical division, that is, ten counties and one government, ten provinces and one province, and ten provinces and one frontier.

The official rank of the imperial court was similar to that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the prefects of the local government were divided into county commanders, prefects, governors, and territorial governors. In the forbidden city of the imperial capital, there are six departments, three law divisions, and twenty-four yamen.

In addition to these, the imperial examination system of the Xia Dynasty was also very perfect, and the imperial court held an imperial examination every three years, and anyone between the ages of 16 and 26, regardless of gender, could participate in the imperial examination.

Different from later generations is the examination conditions, the Xia Dynasty cultivated literature and martial arts, and the whole country contextualized martial arts fellow practitioners, cultivating the mind with literature and cultivating the body with martial arts. Those with a high state of mind are ministers, and those who manage the operation of the country. The high martial arts are the generals, and the soldiers guard the border borders.

The imperial examination has two kinds of literary examination and martial arts examination, which are divided into four levels from low to high, namely the county examination, the government examination, the provincial examination, and the palace examination. The county examination is invigilated by the officials of the Futai Yamen, and after passing the examination, he is a showman. The government examination is invigilated by the officials of the governor's yamen, and after passing the examination, he is promoted.

The provincial examination is presided over by the officials of the yamen of the governor of the territory, and the candidates are called tributes, and if they can pass these three levels, they are eligible to participate in the highest level of examination, that is, the palace examination. The palace examination was conducted by the emperor himself.

According to the usual practice, each of the 108 frontiers of the Xia Dynasty elected one scholar of literature and martial arts, and these two people went to the imperial capital to participate in the palace examination on behalf of their territory, and a total of 316 students will take the palace examination, and the emperor will serve as the examiner.

Once you pass the palace test, you will leap into the dragon gate and make steady progress. Each palace examination will elect one Wen and Wu champion, and these two will be canonized by the emperor himself, and the rest will be placed by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War according to their ranks.

In order to shine on the lintel and show their ambitions, every time there is an imperial examination, the students of the world will apply what they have learned, the literati will write, the warrior will draw the sword, and everyone will do their best to display their talents in the chest, just to get ahead from thousands of students.

Although Ling Xia inquired about some information about his dynasty, he was a little distressed at this time, because he was familiar with the official historical documents and wild history anecdotes of various dynasties, but he only did not know the information of the Xia Dynasty.

Because in the known materials of later generations, the earliest can only be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, that is, the period of the gods of folklore, although some ancient books have recorded sporadic Xia Dynasty information, but those are just legends, and the real Xia Dynasty history and culture have not been handed down.

Scientists have mission that there was a civilization before the ancient Shang and Zhou dynasties, that is, the legendary era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and the Xia Dynasty existed in that era, but for some reason, there was a historical discontinuity between the Xia Dynasty and the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

In this way, the lack of history before the Shang and Zhou dynasties was caused, and even some of the out-of-print only surviving ancient historical documents only recorded that the last monarch of the Xia Dynasty was called Xia Wei, who died due to his violent personality, and was later destroyed by Shang Tang, and there was nothing else.

Through Ling Xia's multi-party inquiries and information aggregation, he confirmed one thing, the current Xia Dynasty should be the Xia Dynasty in other parallel worlds, although it seems to be inextricably linked with the Xia Dynasty on the earth, but the two are not the same thing at all.

This year coincides with the imperial imperial examination, in the evening, Ling Xia walked along the mountain road towards the direction of the county, it is said that in a few days the county government will hold a student selection examination, and the young talents in the county will go there to strive for the fame of "Xiucai", Ling Xia is idle and has nothing to do, and wants to join in the fun.

In the past few days, Ling Xia has experienced the chaos of ancient times, from the time he came out of the valley to the present, it has only been four or five days of exercises, in the past few days, he has encountered a group of bandits, a group of horse bandits, a group of robbers, and a group of water bandits, with an average of one stubble per day.

Fortunately, every time Ling Xia saw the opportunity, he ran away while those bandits didn't reflect, Ling Xia knew the truth that the tigers couldn't stand the wolves, if he was intercepted by those bandits, even if he had a gun on him, he might have to be glorious in the end.

Due to the successive encounters with bandits during this time, Ling Xia's clothes have been torn into strips of cloth, and his pants have exposed his thighs, so in desperation, he had to draw a scoop with a gourd, and stole a few clothes from a mountain people's house to cover his body.

Originally, Ling Xia had a flat head and wore a police uniform, which seemed out of place in this era, but now that he is good, his dress is no different from that of the Xia Dynasty, although his hair is still a little short, but this is no longer so eye-catching.

The imperial examination was about to start, because he was in a hurry, and there was no currency of the Xia Dynasty, so Ling Xia missed the inn, so he could only move forward in the dark, and when he walked near a mountain range, he suddenly stopped, and it turned out that there was a person lying next to the stone in front of him.

When I walked in, I saw that the person was an old man with white hair, and I don't know what happened to that old man? There was a wound on his chest, the wound was about a meter long, almost splitting Lao Dao's body, and the Dao robe had been soaked with blood and turned bright red.

Seeing Lao Dao's appearance, Ling Xia stepped forward to take a look, probed Lao Dao's snort with his hand, and found that Lao Dao no longer had any breath, and he had already died of anger, looking at the corpse in front of him, he sighed with some pity.

Ling Xia had the problem of fainting blood, looking at the wound on Lao Dao's chest, he was a little dizzy, and resisted the urge to faint, he found a cloth to wrap the wound, and after covering the wound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the barren mountains and mountains here, worried that Lao Dao's corpse would be eaten by wild beasts, Ling Xia thought about it, he picked up Lao Dao's corpse, walked to a mound, dug a pit with his hands, dragged a few leaves to cover Lao Dao's corpse, and then he buried Lao Dao's corpse.

After burying the old way, Ling Xia simply trimmed the tomb, bowed to the tomb three times, and then continued to hurry, Ling Xia did not take this matter to heart, and after two days, he gradually forgot about it.

A few days later, Ling Xia finally rushed to the county seat, because the RMB is not popular here, so the cash he brought on him could not be used, fortunately, on the way here, Ling Xia caught a few pheasants, and he exchanged those pheasants for a few copper coins.

When selling pheasants, he inquired about the price, and the currency here is divided into four types, namely copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, and jade coins, and the currencies are in a hundred decimal system, that is, one hundred copper coins are equal to one silver coin, one hundred silver coins are equal to one gold coin, and one hundred gold coins are equal to one jade coin.

Weighing a few copper coins in his hand, Ling Xia found a small restaurant, because there were not many dishes, so he only ordered a green dish and asked for a pot of flower carving, and after the wine and dishes were served, Ling Xia began to eat.

Just when he took the chopsticks and vegetables, poured himself a glass of wine, and picked up the cup to drink, a lazy voice suddenly came from the opposite side: "This official, the poor road is thirsty, can you appreciate the poor road to drink a sip of wine." ”

Hearing this voice, Liu Lingxia subconsciously glanced at the opposite side, and after he saw the other party's appearance clearly, he was suddenly startled, it turned out that there was an old man sitting opposite with a smile on his face, gray hair, and wearing a Taoist robe, this was actually the old Taoist priest he had buried before.

The old Taoist in front of him, swept away the previous decay appearance, his hair was neatly groomed, and the Taoist robe was replaced with a new one.

Looking at Liu Luoqiu, who was sitting opposite in a daze, Lao Dao smiled: "You buried me in the soil a few days ago, and it's only been a few days, what?" Don't recognize you now? ”

"The Taoist forgives the sin, I saw the Taoist corpse in the wilderness before, and I was worried that the beast would hurt your body, so I buried the Taoist in the ground. Hearing Lao Dao's words, Ling Xia hurriedly stood up and apologized to Lao Dao,

"Hehe, those who don't know are not guilty." After raising his hand to signal Ling Xia to sit down, Lao Dao glanced at Ling Xia and said with a smile: "Poor Dao Tianxiaozi, temporarily living in the Hidden Immortal Mountain, I recently fought with the national teacher of the Infinite Ocean Island Country.

Although the Baqi Na is a national teacher, but the nature is despicable, insidious and vicious, he disguised himself as a homeless person to peep in our country, fortunately I was discovered, I sat in the Xia Dynasty Yin Xian Mountain, responsible for guarding the luck of the Great Xia Emperor, since I can't let the alien race covet.

Seeing that his whereabouts were revealed, Yaqi Na became angry and angry, and started a fierce fight with me, although my skills were better than him, but when he was dying, he actually took the people of my Xia Dynasty as a hostage, in order to save those hostages, I was not bad for a while, and was injured by his secret weapon.

On that day, I took the pill to heal my wounds, and at the critical moment, you happened to come to me, although I could not move, but I could feel your mercy and charity at that time, so the poor road allowed you to bury your body.

Sure enough, you didn't covet what I had on my body, and you didn't take a penny of money, the heart of a child, the poor road is sincerely grateful, today the poor road is healed, and I have come here to find you, you and I have a life-saving grace, and the poor road is willing to send you a creation. ”

Speaking of this, the Taoist priest took out a somewhat torn leather scroll from his arms: "This is a book of exercises I got from a cave, the exercises recorded on it are broad and profound, many exercises are unheard of even by me, if you practice them all, you may be able to dominate the martial arts."

Although this exercise is strong, but it is in conflict with the Daomen exercises I practice, so I can't practice, the cheats are rare, and it's a pity to destroy them, I wanted to look back and seal this exercise, but now I met you, in order to repay you for saving your life, I would like to give this cheats away. ”

Ling Xia got up to help the Taoist priest ask for a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and went to the counter to order a pot of wine, and helped the Taoist priest pour the wine, he opened the leather scroll and looked at it, looking at the dense handwriting on it, he shook his head, returned the leather scroll to the Taoist priest, he smiled bitterly:

"I'm twenty years old this year, I've never practiced martial arts before, and my muscles and bones have long been set, and now even if it's a peerless cheat, I can't practice, because I've long missed the best age to practice."

"That's what I said" After hearing this, the Taoist priest nodded in agreement, and after thinking about it, he took out another brocade map and handed it to Ling Xia: "This is a geomorphological survey map, which I searched from Bajina.

The place marked on the map is located in the extreme north of Liulijiang, close to the millions of mountain tribes, the location marked by the red vermilion pen in the map is a gold mine, and the poor road is willing to give this map to you, you can take the map to collect gold mines, and enjoy the glory and wealth for a lifetime. ”

Ling Xia took the map and glanced at it, only to see that it was full of lines and symbols, just glanced at it, he returned the map to the Taoist priest, seeing the Taoist priest staring at him, Ling Xia still shook his head: "I understand the kindness of the Taoist chief, but forget about this map."

Not to mention that after I arrived in the far north, can I avoid the eyes of millions of mountain tribes and find gold mines, even if I collect gold mines, I can't bring back those gold mines. ”

"Since you don't want martial arts fame and fortune, and you don't care about glory and wealth, then I can only give you a marriage." After speaking, Tianxiaozi stroked his beard and looked at Ling Xia with a smile.
