The cold wind from the north is whistling down from the north to the south, although Yancheng is on the north-south border, but fortunately, the climate still belongs to the south, and the north wind has not had the same momentum when it blows here, but compared to the cold-resistant of the northerners, it is still shivering from the cold.

Qin Han shrank in a big wooden barrel at the moment and trembled, his naked upper body exuded a cloud of white gas from time to time, which formed a sharp contrast with Qin Feng who was dressed in yellow brocade cotton clothes not far away, looking at Qin Han in the ice water, Qin Feng grinned involuntarily, as if he was the one who was suffering in the water.

The iron hand walked back and forth with a leather whip in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the people in the water, like whack-a-mole, if he dared to show his head and keep a whip down, he would never let you come up again.

Time is always so wonderful, sometimes a day seems to pass in an instant, sometimes a blink of an eye seems to have passed a few springs and autumns, a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and more than half a sentence may be this reason, Qin Han didn't even want to move his mouth at this time, for fear that the only bit of heat in his body would quietly pass away as soon as he closed and closed.

I don't know how long it took before Tie Shou said slowly: "Okay, come out!"

In a simple sentence, like the sound of heaven, I don't know if it is the result of the Rizama step some time ago or the credit of the calf muscle group trained by running for twenty miles every day, in short, he jumped out of a distance half a zhang high easily, and then landed steadily, and Qin Feng, who was not far away, was even brighter.

But the next moment, I only heard Qin Han trembling and clenching his teeth: "I... My padded clothes!"

When Qin Feng heard this, he hurriedly reacted, and in a panic, he held a cotton coat in one hand and a towel in the other, and after wiping the eldest brother twice, he hurriedly helped him put on the cotton clothes, and his eyes were full of gold stars and said: "Big brother, you are so amazing!"

Looking at the young brother's adoring face, he still couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, maybe this is the so-called pain and happiness, and when he didn't wait for his words to show off, the iron hand next to him sneered: "Tomorrow you come over, I'll let you see what the true character of a hero is, it's not a matter of crying dad and calling mother." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Qin Han's mouth twitched twice unconsciously, and he wanted to show his brother's momentum in front of his younger brother, but as soon as he thought of annoying the fate of the iron hand, the momentum in his stomach really became a breath, and it passed quietly with the closing of the chrysanthemum.

"Poof~"

The scene was extremely embarrassing for a while, and the only two people in the field were also staring at him with big eyes, which reminded him of the past in high school in his previous life, remembering that it was a summer, and the stuffy classroom combined with the screams outside the window also formed a different kind of symphony.

"Uh~" With a comfortable lazy waist, even the whole person relaxed, but the next second, the classroom, which was still full of low head-to-head voices, suddenly quieted down.

"Poof~"

I secretly said in my heart that it was not good, but according to my usual experience, I reacted very quickly, and then shouted: "Who? As soon as Lao Tzu woke up, he began to fire a salute. ”

Then there was laughter and scolding in the classroom, it was a youthful time, and it was also a nostalgic time, but it still couldn't change the embarrassing scene, Qin Han also quickly came back to his senses, and said to Qin Feng with a smile: "It's cold outside, go back to the house to warm your books." ”

"Oh!"

Qin Feng answered in a daze and walked straight to the house, the whole person seemed to be still immersed in the loud and incomparably long sound just now, Qin Han immediately turned around and said

"My good master, can't you save me some face? I'm also an iron-clad man in the eyes of my brother!"

"Cut~ You can also deceive five or six-year-old hairy boys, and they are hanging when they are seven or eight years old. ”

"I'm shameless!"

Tie Shou smiled disdainfully when he heard this, and then walked towards the outside of the mansion, but the sonorous words still made Qin Han slightly stunned.

"The face is not given by others, it is earned by yourself!"

What a familiar words echoed in my ears, and I vaguely remembered that I seemed to have read it in which chicken soup article I had read in my previous life, and it had been regarded as a supreme classic by myself for a long time, and a sense of melancholy came to my heart when I thought of it.

......

This year, it is rare to see snow, this is also a rare second time in Qin Han's eleven years of Qin Guo's career, the entire Yancheng is a white layer, the New Year is approaching, everyone's face is full of festive countenance, especially this year's snow, it is a sign of a good day in the coming year, as if people are waving, and those half-grown children, wearing their new clothes in the streets and alleys, causing many passers-by to frown frequently, but when they think of a large family still waiting for themselves, they also shook their heads and hurried by.

Iron Hand has not been home for nearly five years, it's not that he doesn't return, but there is really no one in the family, his parents died in the famine more than 20 years ago, and the only surviving sister also died quietly after less than half a year because of malaria, the only one still in the family is the uncle and cousin family who have reached the age of antiquity, and when they reach this age, they can't say no, maybe with this idea Half a month ago Iron Hand finally embarked on the road home.

The departure of the iron hand is like a neck band for the monkey, if it is placed in the previous life, it must be a carnival all night to relieve the boredom of weekdays, but at this time, it is necessary to indulge and indulge in his own inertia.

Three poles in the sun, the hard-working people of Great Qin have already finished their work for half a day at this moment, and they have begun to prepare for lunch, but Qin Han is still curled up in the futon at the moment, put it in the past, Qin's mother's board must have been called over early, but it may be that he suffered too much a few days ago, so he was allowed to go.

"Ah!" Qin Han screamed in distress, and then opened the futon, and his eyes were wide open at this time.

"People are so cheap! Before the old ghost left, he wished he could sleep lazily every day, but now he is fine, but he still can't sleep. ”

"Habit is such a terrible thing!" he sighed, shaking his head and getting up and getting dressed.

Although it is only now, he woke up early when the hour arrived, and it can be said that he looked at the ceiling for two hours.

The happiest thing in the world is that you are thirsty and have water to drink, and when you are hungry, you have food to eat, and the saddest thing is that you are obviously very sleepy, and you also have a bed, but you just can't sleep, when the family eats, you can see that he is in a bad mood, but no one mentioned it, and he hastily ate some and walked out, Qin Feng saw this, so he sneaked up and said, "Brother, where are you going?"

"Go back, read a book, and the province will annoy Lao Tzu. Only Qin Feng, who was left with a confused face in the cold wind, didn't know what to do.

There are not many pastimes in this era, not to mention Qin Han, a half-grown child, and adults are nothing more than gambling on silver, shopping around the building, or drinking a bad wine, although Qin Han is also a little eager to try, but in the final analysis, he just dares to think about it, if he lets his mother know, the discounted legs are estimated to be light, which is the greatest sorrow of an adult's mind under a young skin.

"Hey!"

While fantasizing about those beautiful fantasy scenes, he unconsciously walked towards Ji San's house, his house is not as deserted as his own home, and there are only three mothers and younger brothers in his family in the New Year, plus two or three old servants and those cold guards, there are just ten people, most of them are dying and old, and they are boring, and Ji Sanyi's family has more than 20 people, and most of them are young people in their twenties。

"Yo, is it Young Master Qin? Why are you free to come here today, are you here to find the third young master?"

"Why is Uncle Li on duty today?

Li Funai is the housekeeper of the Ji Mansion, and he is usually responsible for the big and small things in the Ji Mansion, hearing Qin Han ask like this, Li Quan hurriedly said: "The cart of New Year's goods arranged by the master, I think it should be time to come at this time, for fear that the people below will not handle it well, won't I come out to meet it in person?"

Qin Han was noncommittal when he heard this, and walked in with a swagger, Ji San's family has been here more than a dozen times, and there is no one who doesn't know him, and some of the little guys are still courteous to go to Ji San.

Ji San was obviously very happy to see Qin Han, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You kid hasn't come to our house for almost a year, you don't have anything to do in the Three Treasures Palace, say, what's the matter with me?"

Hearing this, Qin Han was even more depressed, he was a little bored at home, and wanted to go around, but he didn't expect to be said like this, and he was so angry in his heart, so he scolded: "Climb your grandmother's legs, Lao Tzu is okay to see what happened to his brother." ”

Ji San was even more stunned when he heard this, Qin Han, who had always looked gentle and elegant, how could he be so rude today, but when he thought of his master, he was a little silent, but it wouldn't be like this in just three months.

"Are you alright?"

"Okay, don't talk about this, it's also a belly of fire, what are you doing at home?"

"My eldest brother and second brother are studying the topics of previous years, so I'll listen to them."

"Yo, that's good, your second brother was admitted to the lifting of people last time, and I think he has a lot of experience, no wonder your kid has made so much progress recently. ”

"Hehe, the main thing is that people are more diligent. ”

“GUN~”

The existing imperial examination system of Great Qin is very different from that of previous dynasties. The second branch broke the previous single subject, saying that the popular point is actually the Jinshi department, and the creation of engineering can better reflect the people to make the best use of their talents, not just read the sage books as before, the words of the sages, everywhere are corpses and vegetarian people, the scene of a monopoly has since ended, a bit like the pre-Qin period of the hundred schools of thought, but Tai Gaozu also learned from the experience of previous dynasties, in order to better control people's hearts, it is just more engineering.

In the fourth year of the first emperor Hongzheng, Li Gaoshi on the basis of Taigaozu, and the two subjects are more concrete, the same subject is divided into the language department and the virtuous department, and the engineering department is divided into the arithmetic department and the Shuo department, the language department is mainly inherited from the previous dynasty with the same lineage, mainly to study the sage doctrine and the way of governing the country, and the virtuous department is mainly based on the medical code, the same policy, the medical code is very easy to understand, and what is the same policy? In fact, to put it bluntly, the emperor needs to speak more freely at the same time, he needs some people to study the emperors and sages of the past dynasties, and make a certain evaluation of what they have done, of course, this evaluation is based on the emperor's own interests, such as what the emperor has done wrong, and is accused by the world, at this time, these people need to come out, saying that in fact, there have been similar things before, and then how and how, not as everyone thinks, and finally exonerate the emperor, of course, this is only one of the people in the same policy.

Arithmetic is actually equivalent to the mathematics that Qin Han learned in his previous life, but the level is very low, and it is only the level of primary school, in this era, what chickens and ducks are in the same cage, and the same porridge of monks and monks is already a difficult topic, and Shuoke is actually a combination of astronomy and physics, but at this time, Shuoke is more or less still with some superstitious colors, but this is also a great stimulus to the people of Daqin The passion for practice and innovation, the significance is always greater than some practical uses, but in Qin Han's opinion, this is already a very great move, the seeds will bloom sooner or later, and the fruit will be extremely fruitful, but from the perspective of Qin Han and the two generations, if there is a real breakthrough, I am afraid it will take forty or fifty years.

"This year's policy is definitely based on the policy of governing the country and the relationship between ethnic groups in the southwest. ”

"Oh, I don't agree with Big Brother. ”

"What is the opinion of the second brother?"

Although Ji Yi is the eldest brother, after all, the second child has been admitted to the lifting of people, and he is definitely better than himself in some aspects, so he has to listen to him.

The Helan grassland has been occupied by Xiliang, and now it is almost an exaggeration to say that the soldiers are coming to the city in the two border cities, even if Xiliang withdraws the army, my Daqin does not dare to set foot easily, and I think the eldest brother also knows this. ”

"Yes, there has never been such a humiliating time in the past hundred years, but when my army goes out next time, it will be the time when Xiliang is destroyed. ”

After hearing this, Ji Er shook his head and said, "I think the eldest brother is a little optimistic. ”

"What?

"I don't know all of you here, do you know why my Great Qin is not moving at the moment?"

Qin Han heard that he had no words, and Ji San hadn't even taken the Tongsheng exam, so he naturally wouldn't pay attention to these, only Ji Yi: "If it weren't for the fact that Anxia and Nanzhao were eyeing me at my side, I, Daqin, would naturally not let these little ones run rampant." ”

Ji San shook his head when he heard this, and said, "What the eldest brother said is just one of them, and in my opinion, the root of the problem is not here. ”

Seeing this, everyone was speechless, and only listened to Ji San continue: "I have a friend who is famous, his family has been a military commander for generations, I think you also know, when I talked to him some time ago, he had a distant cousin, who served as a centurion cavalry captain in the Chenzhou Guard, and according to the normal staff, there should be 3,000 people in their guard, but now you know how much there is?"

"Less than 2,000, and nearly half are still old, weak, sick and disabled. ”

"And Your Majesty's absence of a personal expedition this time seems to me to be the best of luck, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

The three of them were shocked when they heard this, and Ji San was even more convinced: "So this time the main policy is definitely the way of the military system!"
