Chapter 5 Encountering Water Bandits on the Road

"Mr. Yin don't pay attention to these old antiques, they can only nag a few words behind their backs now, and no one listens to them anymore.

The imperial examination has stopped, and these old masters have been reading books all their lives, and they want to be officials, but now they can't be officials. Even if you go to be a private school teacher, I'm afraid no one will want it, and everyone is learning something new.

It is only international students like Mr. Yin who have a great future......"

A comprador of a foreign firm surnamed Hou looked at those old antiques unpleasantly, and saw that Yin Sheng's temperament was extraordinary, and he intended to cater to them, so he casually belittled those old antiques.

"The imperial examination has stopped, when did it happen?" Yin Shengzhi was dumbfounded.

"Just last month, you can see that there is still a discussion in the newspapers now, but most people feel that it is good to stop. This imperial examination is useless, imprisoning the mind......"

Yin Shengzhi's face became solemn, whose idea was this? Why was he so reckless?

It was not that Yin Shengzhi was in favor of continuing the imperial examination, but he was reckless in abolishing the imperial examination.

If you govern a big country, you can cook a small fresh!

The imperial examination has lasted for more than 2,000 years in Daqi and is deeply rooted. Even if it is the current Great Qi, there are at least millions to tens of millions of scholars who have taken the imperial examination.

These people were originally the elite of Daqi and the natural supporters of the ruling class. It is also the main force for maintaining order in the countryside and at the grassroots level when the government cannot reach it......

Therefore, regardless of the Great Qi of this world or the Great Qing of another world, even if it encounters the invasion of a strong civilization, it still maintains a considerable cohesion.

These people are the glue by nature!

In another world, an organization has replaced this with a strong organizational power at all the grassroots levels......

But as soon as the slack fell in after a few decades, the grassroots organizations all but collapsed and collapsed.

The other organization, which is the enemy of this organization, has never had this kind of awareness. If you can't rule down the grassroots, and without those natural adhesives, you can't exert the power you have......

Subverted by the small organization he looked down upon......

Therefore, Yin Shengzhi felt that it was not a good idea to suddenly abolish the imperial examination under the current situation of internal and external troubles!

Abolishing the imperial examination at this time can only turn the entire Great Qi into a plate of scattered sand.

Because, at this time, no one has the power to directly manage to the grassroots!

"Who abolished the imperial examination? Of course, it is today!" This comprador still has awe when he mentions the current Emperor of Great Qi.

"Last month...... So it was the imperial examination that was abolished when Lord Zhang Qiuchen went abroad? I'm really anxious......"

Yin Shengzhi couldn't help but sigh softly.

Because His Majesty had written a letter to himself, Yin Shengzhi knew very well that he was jealous of Zhang Qiuchen and wanted to take power alone!

Once Zhang Qiuchen visited abroad, His Majesty couldn't wait to start seizing power, and began to take office as a new official to confirm his authority.

Without any thought, he was abolished by the imperial examination!

Yin Shengzhi shook his head and sighed, if he was the Son of Heaven, he would decide that he would not be so anxious......

But who makes himself a bystander?

At this moment, I only heard a commotion: "The water thieves are coming, the water thieves are coming......"

When there was a commotion on the ship, I saw several wooden boats heading towards the river steamer.

Although this river ship is not big and cannot be compared with a cruise ship, it is also a 500-ton steam ship.

Even when going upstream, the power is not something that an old-fashioned wooden sailboat can resist. Directly hit it, these wooden boats will definitely fall apart.

Unfortunately, the ship did not dare to crash into it, so it was forced to come down.

Yin Shengzhi knew very well that it wasn't that the people on the ship didn't want to resist.

But with the habits of robbers and bandits from all walks of life, it's okay if you don't resist, at most you ask for money.

But if you resist this time, the next time it will fall into their hands, then it will not be as simple as asking for money. But he can't even save his life!

"Listen, I'm waiting for my Golden Sail Gang. Those who know our rules know that we only seek wealth and do not want to die. Don't move, obediently, we'll leave when we're done!" shouted the thief on the wooden boat.

"It turned out to be the Golden Sail Thief...... It's okay now, no worries about your life!"

The comprador looked scared to death just now, and when he heard that these guys were called the Golden Sail Gang, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, although he still looked a little painful.

Yin Sheng's heart moved: "The reputation of these water thieves is very good?"

The comprador nodded and said, "It's said that it's okay, anyway, I won't kill people indiscriminately...... Alas, the world is getting more and more chaotic!"

Yin Shengzhi nodded and felt deeply, this golden waterway leading to Tianning City has always been the transportation hub of Daqi, and it is a place that is very important.

If it had been in the past, where could there have been such blatant robbery gangs? They were all immediately wiped out by the government.

"It seems that Lord Mingshuai's control over the local area is really a lot weaker......"

Although he thought so in his heart, he had already stood out with a sneer.

The comprador of the foreign bank next to him was startled, and wanted to prepare to hold Yin Shengzhi, but saw that Yin Shengzhi had already stepped on the bow of the boat.

His rash appearance immediately alarmed these water thieves, and they looked over one by one.

But seeing that one of the water thieves was wearing a long robe, he looked different from the other water thieves, and he looked like a military person muttered a few words in the ear of the water thief leader.

The leader of the water thieves looked at Yin Shengzhi and said in a bad tone, but he didn't do it directly: "Are you a foreign student?" I advise you to stand in the back, we just need money, don't die." Don't ask for trouble, the family is still waiting for you to go back......"

Yin Shengzhi sighed lightly, and slowly put the mage badge on his chest.

This kind of thing is troublesome for him, but it doesn't mean that Yin Shengzhi is afraid!

Just a few water thieves!

His itinerary has been informed to the envoy of Tianning City, the governor of the five southeastern states, the military governor Chen Mingchuan Mingshuai, if it is known that he was robbed by a few water thieves, it is really a big joke.

"Mage ......"

The faces of the water thieves on the opposite side immediately changed greatly, and they turned around and fled with a whistle.

Yin Shengzhi was naturally too lazy to hunt down these ordinary water thieves, but two of them did not let go.

But seeing the flash of silver light, the Tengu Star appeared and had already captured the leader of the water thieves and the military advisor.

The other thieves were even more frightened when they saw this, and they shouted, and many of them didn't even want the boat, and jumped into the water and fled one after another.

The leader of the water thieves fell into the hands of Yin Sheng, but he was also angry, and shouted: "We have eyes without beads, we don't know the face of the true Buddha, and if we fall into your hands, we deserve it, if we want to kill you, we will follow you, there is no other word!"
