Section 37: The blessing of a sad heart
Yun Ye's recital was dismissed, and there were four big characters written by Li Erzhu on it, each of which made Yun Ye feel mocked. The mood is terrible, he just asks this year's scientific expedition to recruit more talents, these people are the pillars of Datang in the future, they will be distributed in three provinces and six departments, and even in each state and county, will let Datang have more practical talents, instead of a few more sour people who can chant a few crooked poems.
In Yun Ye's view, the scientific examination in the Tang Dynasty was just a joke, and it adopted an admission system that combined examination and recommendation. The quality of the examination paper is only one aspect of the evaluation, and the examiner should take care of the human favor and face of the recommender. In order to increase the "weight" of the examiner, the examiner will edit his poems and write them into scrolls, and present them to people with status in society before the examination for recommendation, that is, "line papers".
In this way, the children of officials have an innate advantage, and the children of the poor are just a foil. Innate deficiencies make them completely black away from home. No one has signed up for Xiucai for many years, and most of them are wine bags and rice bags. I don't know why Li Er said: "The world's talents have entered my world." This is a smug sentence.
That's it! Didn't you Li Er look down on those poor children who fell off the list? I'll find out a few available talents from the middle, and see if you have the so-called talents in the record, or the characters I found out from the children who fell off the list. Anyway, in this year's scientific examination, the famous Ma Zhou will fail the list, and Liu Renliang will also be assigned to Baoji as a county lieutenant, as long as you find these two guys, the person you Li Er is looking for is a scumbag.
Ah Q's self-soothing method played its due role, Yun Ye felt much better, and he didn't want to borrow it from Liu Huai, a master of arithmetic, but he was caught and taught several classes. I don't have my own soldiers, it's too much of a loss, no, since it's called Kewuyuan, Lao Tzu simply treats him as a school. Because the school is in the imperial city, I don't believe that it can't recruit students.
Ke Wu grabbed from the doll, this is what Yun Ye said to Li Chengqian. Since everyone doesn't pay attention to it, then Lao Tzu will do something for them to see, and when the time comes, they will be blinded.
Li Chengqian was very scared, because Yun Ye was very excited, standing on the table foaming at the mouth, impassioned like a mad dog. His hands were waving like cramps.
"There are no students, I'll buy you a few and it's done." In his opinion, Yun Ye just wanted to be a teacher and wanted to go crazy, so he quickly bought him a few students to coax him away.
Yun Ye didn't go crazy, and slapped his head heavily, how did I forget that I was in the evil Tang Dynasty, the population could be bought and sold, and there was not much money, especially for children, ten yuan could buy three.
Jumping off the table, I went home, and asked my aunt where I was going to buy some children. In a state of excitement, Li Chengqian's shouting could not be heard at all.
A half-white-haired man knelt straight at the door of Yunfu, and there was a woman kneeling next to him, and two children stood behind him. The servants of the house asked them to leave, but the man said that he had bought it for twenty yuan and that he was waiting for him to come out. When he went to the palace, he said he could wait.
Yun Ye hurried back on a horse and saw a bunch of people crowded at the gate of the mansion from a distance, thinking that something had happened, and just arrived in front of the servant and found that the Hou Ye had returned to the mansion, he just shouted a voice, and ran away with a loud bang.
"Your name is that and that, right, your name is Qian Tong? The one who sold his own in Xishikou? ”
"The old slave knocked on the Hou Ye," Qian Tong kowtowed on the ground.
"Hurry up and get out, don't be afraid of other people's jokes, who are you the old slave of your family, I am glad to see that you have a pity for rewarding two silver cakes, what is there."
"Hou Ye Gaoyi, Qian Tongxin received it, Hou Ye threw down twenty yuan of money and left in a hurry, Hou Ye can be such a thing, Qian Tong can't, now my Hun family is well, and I should come to the house to serve." is really a trustworthy person, Yun Ye sighed in his heart. …,
"Since you are bent on repaying, I just lack a staff member by my side, it's up to you, now go with me to do something, who is that, you go to tell Aunt Sù housekeeper to ask him to arrange Mrs. Qian's mother and son, and say that I invited Mr. Qian." Yun Ye is crazy because of the lack of people, so he naturally won't let go of Qian Tong, a useful person.
Qian Tong is not a hypocritical person, anyway, he thinks that he is a person from Yun Mansion, so he doesn't care if he is a slave or a staff member, so he arched his hand and said: "I am respectfully ordered" and ordered his wife to say a few words, and stood next to Yun Ye and waited for the arrangement.
Qian Tong is worthy of being an old Chang'an person, and he thought that the complicated buying process was simplified by him. A row of four or five people stood in front of Yun Ye, letting the Hou Ye pick and choose.
Yun Ye didn't pick, he just told him that he needed boys between the ages of ten and fourteen, who were smart and had the best literacy, and there were fifteen people, and if there were extremely smart girls, they could also accept them.
"I don't ask for money, but the way you come must be innocent, if there is a kidnapping, this marquis will make your life worse than death." In the end, Yun Ye warned these people that he didn't want to be the culprit of abducting children.
People patted their chests one by one and said that they wouldn't do that kind of thing that thundered and thundered, besides, the government is strict, and if this kind of thing happens, you don't need to do it yet, and the tooth shop will pick his skin.
O human market! Another feature of the feudal dynasty, when I was a child, I studied history and saw the illustration in it, a sturdy man was opened by a fat slave owner to look at his teeth, and he felt that there was no difference between buying livestock, and the female slave had to face a more cruel reality, and she had to face endless indecency every day, and in the law of the Tang Dynasty, slaves were equivalent to big animals, and it was even worse, slaughtering cattle privately would be questioned by the officials, and they would be fined, and they would be imprisoned for a few days to set an example. I have not heard of any officials questioning the killing of slaves. Although it is clearly stipulated in the "Tang Law Discussion" that killing a slave or maid for no reason will be punished with a hundred rods, no one has been punished for this crime.
Cheng Chumo said that every day there are nameless dead bodies thrown in mass graves, and they can see them every time they inspect them, and as long as there is no bitter master, no one cares.
Qian Tong is very easy to use, and he will be smooth up and down after coming to the house for a few days, and he is a capable person. The grandmother asked the housekeeper and aunt to retreat, just take care of the inner courtyard, and the outer courtyard will be handed over to Qian Tong to deal with. The family lived in a small courtyard, but they were also happy.
"Old Qian, I have wronged you as a housekeeper in the family, when I find a suitable candidate, you don't want to do this errand, how about coming to my side to help me?" Yun Ye felt a little guilty, he obviously said that he was a staff member, but somehow he became an official.
"Hehe, Hou Ye is too worried, the old lady asked me in advance if I was wronged as a housekeeper, I told the old lady that before I came to Yunfu, I changed my identity to a pariah, since I have lost my dignity, the identity of this good citizen is not suitable for me, when I stretched out my hand, I was destined to become a pariah, if it wasn't for Hou Ye's help. I'm afraid I won't be able to sell even twenty taels of silver, and my body has long been buried in the loess. Hou Ye is now in high spirits, it is the time to soar, and it may be my blessing to sell myself to take refuge. "
He saw it very openly, without a look of grievance, presumably years of exile had already exhausted the heroism in his heart. Now that he has just gained some peaceful and prosperous days in Yunfu, he is satisfied. The housekeeper's aunt whispered to Sù Yunye that as soon as she arranged for Mrs. Qian's family to live in the small cross-courtyard, Mrs. Qian cried profusely, touching the house over and over again, and always asking if this was really the house we lived in?
Poor couples mourn everything, and no matter what the blessing in Qian Tong's mouth is, as long as he is willing, it is a good blessing. My peace of mind is my hometown!
