Chapter 103: Earn a meritorious service and become a big official
The way of testing merit and fame is extremely unrealistic for Qin Ze, except for the clear calculation in the five subjects, Qin Ze knows nothing, and it is not the arithmetic that Qin Ze imagined, at least Qin Ze does not have the ability to use ancient Chinese to do arithmetic.
The key reason for all these problems is that Qin Ze has not received a systematic education, and of course he has no intention of starting from scratch to receive a private school education.
Four books and five classics or something, he really can't read it. More importantly, should he learn to write from scratch?
"Although I am only a small record to join the army now, as long as I have the opportunity to go to the border and earn a few meritorious deeds, wouldn't it be much faster than taking any meritorious service?" Qin Ze said this on his lips, and he also thought so in his heart.
Datang basically still focuses on martial arts, especially Li Er himself is also a military general, so he has always attached great importance to military attachés. And for a concubine like Qin Ze who has no background in life, it is impossible to get through the shadow of the family, or to recommend.
In addition to the imperial examination and recommendation, there is also a way to become an official, and that is to establish meritorious service.
The Tang Dynasty is not stable now, and in the first year of Zhenguan, the Turkic Jieli took the opportunity to attack Jing, which is only 40 miles away from Chang'an. At that time, if it weren't for Li Er's plan to set up suspicious soldiers, he personally led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other six horsemen to talk to Jieli Khan across the river in Weishui, and angrily reprimanded Jieli and Tuli Erkhan for betraying the contract, so they retreated. I'm afraid the consequences are unimaginable, after all, the entire Chang'an only had tens of thousands of troops.
Although the Turks withdrew in the end, the Turks never gave up their ambitions for the Tang Dynasty. In recent years, he has frequently invaded the border passes of the Tang Dynasty and abducted countless people of the Tang Dynasty. Even in places such as Lingzhou and Shengzhou, they are almost deserted.
The rampant Turks have made Li Er deeply disgusted, although the real Turkic troops were in the third year of Zhenguan, but since the Liang division was captured by Chai Shao and Liu Wanche, Li Er began to infantry at the border pass.
This is Qin Ze's opportunity, he joined the army as a recorder, if he can go out with him, he will definitely be able to earn a few meritorious deeds.
In the Tang Dynasty, this thing is definitely hard currency, and this thing is divided into twelve levels in total. The twelfth turn of the meritorious service is the Shangzhu country of the second grade, and then the eleventh turn is from the pillar country of the third grade, and then the thirteenth turn is the upper guard of the third grade of the tenth turn; Nine turns from the three products of the guard; Eight turns of the four products on the light car captain; Seven turns from the four-grade light car to the lieutenant; The six-turn is the fifth rank on the riding captain; The five-turn rider from the five-rank riding captain; the fourth turn of the sixth product Xiaodu Lieutenant; the three-turn from the six-pint flying cavalry captain; The second turn is the seventh-rank cloud cavalry captain, and the last is the lowest one-turn martial cavalry captain, but it is also from the seventh grade.
Like Qin Ze's goal is to be able to make a four-turn meritorious service and mix with a six-grade Xiaodu Lieutenant. As for going further, Qin Ze really doesn't have that idea at the moment, because this feat is not a joke.
There are many ways to earn merits, but each one is extremely difficult. It is mainly distinguished according to the battle in which it is located, such as winning more with less is called going into battle, and then the number of people on both sides is about the same as the middle battle, and the more to one is the next battle.
As long as you can kill fourteen enemies in battle, you can get five merits. Killing 12 enemies is a four-turn meritorious service, and killing 11 enemies is a three-turn meritorious service.
In the middle or bottom battle, the count of such feats is reduced by one turn in turn. Like the lowest, killing eleven enemies in the next battle can only be a one-turn feat.
Of course, if you don't want to die, it is not without opportunities to make meritorious contributions even if you are desperate. If you defend the city, as long as you perform outstandingly, you will directly be a three-turn meritorious service.
But Qin Ze thought about it carefully, and felt that compared to his own small life, no matter how big the merit was, it was meaningless.
He may not be able to kill the enemy in battle, but he can't establish meritorious service by commanding operations.
He thought like this, but Wang Yuxi over there was also stunned when he heard his words that he was going to the battlefield. She couldn't understand that for Qin Ze, being a civil official was not more in line with his identity.
"Are you really so earned?" Wang Yuxi looked at Qin Ze and said lightly.
Although her face was calm, through her slightly furrowed brows, Qin Ze could still feel her worry, after all, going to the battlefield would kill people.
Qin Ze can't help it, there is not much left for him. If you rely on your own cleverness to make a few major decisions for Li Er, it's not impossible. But can Qin Ze do this? This will only make him die faster, no monarch will want his courtiers to surpass him, you must know that for the sake of their throne, they may even be able to do it to their own brothers, let alone a Qin Ze.
"It's a good choice for me, Yuxi, you believe me, I will definitely be able to earn a four-turn meritorious service."
Qin Ze swore to Wang Yuxi, and at the same time showed his determination.
Wang Yuxi looked at Qin Ze in a daze, but found that the other party was still smiling, and he couldn't see the slightest ripple. He looked down at the Jiangjin wine in his hand again, and in the end, he also let out a long sigh and stuffed the rattan paper to Qin Ze, but he didn't say a word.
Knowing that this was Wang Yuxi going to send off guests, Qin Ze would not stay here with a dead face, so he took the transcribed poems and rushed towards his courtyard.
He still has to hurry to hand over this poem to Lu Qu, otherwise this guy will probably have to block his door.
Sure enough, when Qin Ze returned to the courtyard from the weaving workshop, he saw Lu Qu standing in front of the door at a glance. It can be said that if Qin Ze doesn't give him the wine, he may really not be able to sleep. And only people like Lu Qu are worthy of the image of a reader in Qin Ze's heart.
Unlike the previous appearance, Lu Qu is much more modest than before. Especially when he saw Qin Ze coming back, he immediately walked up and respectfully saluted Qin Ze.
This look of adoration made Qin Ze have the urge to sign his name.
"Qin Gongzi, have you already had time for what you promised to do next?"
The poem written by Qin Ze is now like a fish bone stuck in his throat. It was because of Cui Lun's appearance that he avoided it with interest.
But although the person walked away, his heart remained here, on the poem.
That's why he was in front of Qin Ze's door and waited for Qin Ze to come back. What kind of etiquette and the question of whether it is abrupt or not, Lu Qu has completely ignored it now. All he wanted now was to be able to get the poem and enjoy it.
"Lu Gongzi is also an anxious person." Qin Ze also has a good impression of this person, and he is also willing to deal with him.
After joking with Lu Qu, Qin Ze said with a smile: "It's already written, it's just that there are some things to go out for, so I bother Lu Gongzi to wait." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Qu waved his hand again and again, indicating that he didn't care.
On the other hand, Qin Ze took advantage of this opportunity to quietly stuff Wang Yuxi's wine to Erhu. Then he pretended to be casual, patted Erhu on the shoulder and said, "Go and take out the poems I wrote earlier and give them to Lu Gongzi." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and invited Lu Qu to his home for a while, of course, both of them knew that it was just a courtesy, so they didn't take it seriously.
When Erhu walked around the courtyard and came out again, he had an extra piece of rattan paper in his hand.
Lu Qu naturally kept an eye on Erhu, and when he saw that the other party actually took out such a piece of paper, he was also stunned. He looked at Qin Ze with some doubts, and wanted to ask a question, but he didn't open his mouth after all.
After taking the rattan paper, he was completely stunned after just one glance at Lu Qu. As a scholar, he naturally knows calligraphy. Originally, in his opinion, Qin Ze, who was able to make such heroic and majestic poems, must have an atmospheric style.
But the handwriting on this rattan paper, no matter how you look at it, has an indescribable agility and delicateness. If it was a woman who wrote this poem, he would definitely not feel the slightest wrong, but if it was Qin Ze......
"This word is indeed written by Qin Gongzi?" Lu Qu took the rattan paper and asked Qin Ze with a puzzled expression.
"Uh~" Qin Ze was also stunned, he didn't expect Lu Qu to really pursue this handwriting.
"It's good to have to write, do you have to be so careful?" Qin Ze also couldn't help muttering in his heart.
"The system suggests that the host exchange the Datang calligraphy skill, and redeem this skill to master advanced calligraphy skills."
At this time, the system also appeared to join in the fun, and it was to trick Qin Ze to exchange calligraphy skills.
"How much Wish do you want?" Qin Ze remembered that the last time he had a poetry meeting, the system offered him ten points of wish value, and he was reluctant to do so no matter what.
"Ten Wish."
"You ......" When he heard that it was another ten wish value, Qin Ze couldn't help but feel angry. He only has twenty-two wish points now, let him take out almost half, how is it possible.
"No." Qin Zetie blushed and refused directly.
"The system expects the host to give serious consideration to ......"
"No need." Qin Ze directly spit out three words, interrupting the system's next words.
And at this time, Lu Qu also discovered that Qin Ze was wrong. Looking at the constantly changing expression on Qin Ze's face, he was also curious, not understanding what Qin Ze was doing. At that moment, he whispered a few words to Qin Gongzi, which woke Qin Ze up.
"Well, that's right, I wrote it. Any questions? Qin Ze was suddenly woken up, and he quickly replied.
"No, no." What questions Lu Qu can have, he is just curious.
Originally, I thought that I would be able to get a glimpse of Qin Ze's Mobao, but now it seems impossible. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to really think that this was Qin Ze's true handiwork, and now that he thought about it, he could only think that Qin Ze didn't want his ink treasure to leak out.
Literati have always attached great importance to their Mobao, so Qin Ze has this approach, and Lu Qu is not curious at all anyway. Not only was he not curious, but he admired Qin Ze even more. After all, can a person who can cherish his Mobao so much be an ordinary person?
Well, invisibly, Qin Ze has become tall again in his mind, and it can even be said that he is already shining.
So one of Qin Ze's fans in Datang was born......
