Chapter 60: Sleeping Memories
When a person has nothing, he can let go of everything in his hands, and it is precisely because he has nothing to worry about that he dares to let go.
"It doesn't matter if what you say is right or wrong, and whether what you say helps me or not, it doesn't matter anymore!"
Young people know that they are in their current situation, that they have nothing, and that whatever they gain or lose will not make a difference.
It's like saying that the poor people's time is not worth much, no matter how they live, it's a day, so why bother with hypocrisy!
"Fiefdom!"
The name sounds strange, it sounds like this place is anything but ordinary, since it is a fiefdom, there must be a story.
A young man who is in the problem of food and clothing, his ideal is unattainable for him, but it is still the same sentence: as long as you live well, there will always be a day when you will come out.
The fiefdom that the old man said was a city, a "city of lost memories", which brought together people from all over the world, people from this city, from different time and space, and from different eras.
It sounds dreamy, a little incredible, but it exists. Just like there are many hermits in the world, who live on the top of a high mountain, or in a forest, or in a cave. Intentionally or unintentionally, he escapes from the world just to seek a peace of mind.
Some people choose to escape because of work, because of workplace frustration... Some people choose to open up a new world because they are dissatisfied with their existing life and want to seek a higher realm.
The young man stared at the steamed buns with wide eyes, just like looking at the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, when people were hungry. In fact, it is no different from animals, people's psychological needs are actually to meet food and clothing, if even this can not be done, the so-called ideals and ambitions can only be empty talk!
"You look really hungry!" The old man handed him two steamed buns, and the young man devoured them. Being able to fill your stomach is already a very happy thing.
The young man nibbled on the steamed bun and said, "When will we leave for the place you said?" ”
"Aren't you going to prepare? For example, there are still things to pack. ”
The young man smiled awkwardly and said, "Where do I have something to prepare... I've got the most valuable things on my body! ”
These words made the young man next to the old man laugh too, and the young man was Mu Hao who stepped on the train to the north. So the three of them introduced themselves to each other, which can be regarded as knowing each other.
What a cool thing it is for a time-spanner, he came with a mission, he has a gourd in his hand, and he claims to be a gourd immortal.
"You can call me a gourd immortal!"
"But I still like you to call me Grandpa Gourd!"
"That's right! Grandpa Gourd! ”
Although Mu Hao and the young man were very surprised, they still listened to the words of the gourd immortal and called him "Grandpa gourd!" It was weird, but out of respect for their elders, they still called it that.
"Grandpa Gourd!"
"Where are you taking us?"
"Where is that fiefdom?"
"There is a young man named Mei Xiaohan, he is also a modern person, but his current identity is the city lord of "Meicheng"! That is, the equivalent of a high-ranking city official of one of your cities. ”
"A teenager?"
"The lord of a city? That's pretty remarkable, isn't it? ”
Grandpa Hulu said: "He is now in the Great Song Dynasty, it can be said that the scenery is infinite, and he is the hero of the founder of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
The teenagers and young men were stunned as if they were listening to a mythical story.
A traverser... A young man is both the hero of the founder of the Great Song Dynasty and the lord of a city, which sounds absolutely fantastical.
"Could it be that this Meicheng is the place of that fief?" Mu Hao asked.
"Not bad! Exactly! ”
Grandpa Hulu's words made Mu Hao and the young man very puzzled, because they didn't understand why this Meicheng was associated with the fief that Grandpa Hulu said.
In people's memories, or in the deepest part of memories, there are memories that even we don't know, but this kind of memory is hidden deeply, deeply.
This kind of memory needs to be channeled, even if a whole new piece of land has never been cultivated, even if it has been cultivated countless times thousands of years ago. But because of time, this trace has been submerged and eroded by the years.
Human memories have been passed down from generation to generation, and many of them have been lost in the process of being passed down from generation to generation, so they are gradually hidden. Until one day, someone woke them up.
"Is it just the two of us?"
Mu Hao and the young man still couldn't believe it, and even wondered if they were dreaming. Awaken the memory of a city that is still an ancient city.
"No... Of course not, we need to find a few more people. ”
Mu Hao and the young man said in unison: "Who to go to?" ”
Grandpa Hulu said: "A great man who can change the times!" ”
When it comes to the great men who can change the times, it is natural to think of those celebrities in history, leaving behind many legends and stories that can be sung and cried, but who are you looking for?
"Why do I always think this thing is so unreliable?" The young man still expressed his inner doubts.
Grandpa Hulu said: "Young people, don't worry, don't make a decision so early!" ”
"Our journey has just begun!"
...
At the same time, in the fiefdom of "Meicheng" just after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, Mei Xiaohan was busy.
He was busy selecting people, and as soon as he took office in Meicheng, he announced a holiday, in order to inspect everywhere. In ancient times, the selection of people was nothing more than through the imperial examination system.
The establishment of the imperial examination system was a product of social and economic development and changes in class relations.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Tu system only distributed power according to the rank of the family, and could not meet the requirements of a large number of landlords from humble backgrounds. At the same time, the feudal economy developed, especially after the implementation of the equalization system, the power of small and medium-sized landlords grew, and they were very eager to enter the ruling class.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the unification of the country was realized, and the imperial examination system was implemented in order to reform politics, consolidate rule, and strengthen centralized power. The children of peasant families live in poverty, and there are very few people who can study and take the examination, and the vast majority of those who can participate in the imperial examination are Shu landlords.
Therefore, the imperial examination system is actually a system of electing officials that represents the interests of the landlord class. Nevertheless, it has to be said that the scientific system has paved a way for ordinary people.
However, Mei Xiaohan's official election system, although it draws on the imperial examination system, is not all copied.
If you want to become an official, you must go through an exam, but the way of the exam can be different.
As a result, all the people of Meicheng can see that such a notice is posted on the city gate:
Now I want to do the ambition of the great bird and create a great cause! I just sigh that there is not enough manpower. So the thirst for talent, do not make the wild have omissions, and the talented follow Mao Sui's self-recommendation for fear of being buried!
I don't dare to call myself Bole, I only hope that there will be a thousand miles; He has a sycamore, looking at the phoenix! If you go, you will sweep and welcome each other!
