Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ancients Were Fierce
The family of the eunuch or the child of a rich family, the family is well-off, and the cost does not care, it can be regarded as a tour.
As for the poor, they have to raise money in various ways, and even study while working to save money for the exam.
Therefore, in all dynasties, whether it is the government or the people, there are some funding policies corresponding to the test.
The official preferential policy is usually to use the carriage and horse of the post station, or to allow the child to stay in the post station, etc.
However, it is rare for the imperial court to directly issue silver to the juzi. It seems that during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the "bus fare" began to be issued.
What's more important is the emperor's internal money, that is, private money. Compared with Wanli and Jiajing, who can make money but are very scary about state affairs, the behavior of the young emperor is surprising.
Of course, this also shows from the other side that the emperor attaches more importance to the opening of martial arts, which is more than the literary example.
Chen Juzi thought for a while and said: "There are many wars in the country, so I think of a good general." In the past, there were very few martial arts applicants, which is also a helpless move! ”
"Well, that's how it should be." Wang Juzi, who was shocked, was full of pride, no one was rare in martial arts, and Jinshi was the only way to glorify the ancestors.
Wen Zhenmeng smiled and said, "Two virtuous brothers, you say, is this test strategy related to military affairs?" ”
"Ha, Brother Wen is high." Wang Juzi clapped his hands and said yes, and said with a smile: "According to a certain opinion, the strategy should be related to strong soldiers. ”
Chen Juzi nodded with a smile and said: "A relative under him is an official in the Ministry of Industry, and he said to a certain Yan that the saint decreed that Xu Guangqi would be promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry and a bachelor, in charge of the Ordnance Bureau, the War Bureau, the Gunpowder Bureau, etc., and rewarded Xu Guangqi's mansion. ”
After a deliberate pause, Chen Juzi continued: "In addition, it is rumored that the chief examiner of this examination will be Xu Shilang. ”
"Lord Xu has been blessed with holy favors?" Wen Zhenmeng touched his beard and asked thoughtfully, "Brother Chen Xian, do you know why?" ”
The surname Chen thought about it and said: "Lord Xu has connected the five sparses, "Sweet Potato Sparse", "Turnip Sparse", "Jibei Sparse", "Cotton Planting Law", and "Dung Rules", all of which are allowed by the saints, and issued to the localities, so that the local officials can follow them correctly and implement them as soon as possible. ”
"It's all farming?" Wen Zhenmeng was a little surprised, but he was not very sure, "But Lord Xu is also the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of ordnance manufacturing?" ”
The surname Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The holy will is unpredictable, and I don't understand." ”
With the sound of hurried horses' hooves, Wang Juzi hurriedly shouted: "Brother Wen, Brother Chen, hurry up and avoid the horses." ”
A group of riders galloped on horseback, and did not slow down in the slightest on the crowded street, and when they got closer, they saw clearly that they were several young men with brocade hats and ermine furs, and the second ancestor who was either rich or noble.
Amid the screams and screams, people dodged one after another, and some of them couldn't dodge, and they were tripped and fell to the ground.
A few of them saw the panic of the people and dodged, and laughed, as if they had seen some fun scene.
An old man drove the donkey cart forward slowly, perhaps behind his ears, but the screams and exclamations behind him were not heard, nor did he lean to the side of the road in advance, and by the time the rider approached, it was too late.
A rider turned his horse's head slightly, galloped past the donkey cart, and the old man thought that the cart was in the way, so he whipped the donkey violently on the head, and cursed: "Blind donkey, get away." ”
The donkey was struck by this sudden whip, and with a neighing it sprang to the side. The old man who was driving the car was caught off guard, was flashed backwards, and almost fell out of the car.
The donkey cart knocked over a simple stall on a wooden cart on the side of the road, and the owner was a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes, even shabby, and a little girl who was shrunk by the cold.
The middle-aged man was stumbled by the stall, the ice and snow were slippery, and he fell to the ground, and the wooden cart toppled over, and he was about to hit the frightened little girl.
A thin figure flashed out, leaned out, stretched out his hand, grabbed the edge of the wooden cart, and with a "hey", stopped the overturned cart.
Having stood firm, the thin man lifted the wooden cart with ease with both hands. At this time, people saw that it was actually a man dressed up.
With fair skin and a thin body, from the outside, I never thought that he would have so much strength.
You know, he just stopped the dumped cart with one hand in a hurry. It's very different from standing firm and ready to work again.
The stall owner only got up from the ground at this time, and he could see clearly that if it hadn't been for this gentleman's action, the cart would have smashed into his daughter.
"Thank you, sir, for saving your life, thank you." The middle-aged man bowed, pulled the little girl again, and asked her to kneel down and kowtow to thank her.
The thin lifter stretched out his hand to pull up the little girl, and said to the middle-aged stall owner: "You don't have to be so polite, it's just a gesture." Let's clean up the stalls......"
As he spoke, the thin man raised his head and stared at a man not far away.
The donkey was frightened, knocked over the stall but did not stop, and continued to rush forward, running from one side of the street to the other.
The donkey cart was bumpy, and the old man who was driving the cart shook more than once, not to mention pulling the reins to stop the donkey, but he was able not to fall off the car, and he had done his best.
Seeing that he was about to hurt someone again, a vigorous figure rushed to the face, turned sideways and gave way to the donkey's head, grabbed the donkey's harness with one hand, and pressed it on the wheel of the donkey cart with the other.
This man is well-proportioned, very strong, and exudes a strong force from the inside out. It was only dragged two steps by the donkey, and he leaned forward, and his feet were already stable.
With a low roar, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and this person stopped the donkey's running. What's even more staggering is that the donkey's two front hooves are off the ground, and they are actually lifted up by his strength.
The old man who was driving the car was dizzy, and it took a long time to wake up, get out of the car and catch up with him.
It's just that the man who tried to stop the frightened donkey was expressionless, his eyes flashed, and he was a little cold, so frightened that the legs and feet of the old man who drove the car trembled.
Then, the man let go of his hand and turned away.
It's a lot of strength, a few points stronger than yourself.
Lu Xiangsheng, that is, the thin man who helped the car to save people, admired in his heart, but he didn't have the intention of catching up and forcibly making friends, and continued to walk forward.
The man who stopped the frightened donkey followed the people in front of him, not very close, but followed him as if he was off the ground.
Zhu Youxiao turned around and looked, gently patted the white lady who jumped on his shoulder, and guessed and muttered: "Is it for me to see that vigorous move, or the brocade guard who stopped the donkey?" Uh-huh, yes, I've seen it. ”
The white lady "meowed", as if she understood, and it seemed that Zhu Youxiao did the right thing according to its instructions, and the little claw kicked hard and threw herself into Zhang Yuer's arms.
Zhu Youxiao retracted his gaze, and couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart: The ancients were really violent, and the Jinyi Guard sent a master to accompany him to protect him, and it was nothing to stop the donkey. That skinny man actually has a lot of strength, tsk!
