Regarding Xiao Han's two-pronged rhetoric, Yin Can was too lazy to argue with him and just gave him a big roll of his eyes.
Xiao Han naturally knew that he was wrong about this, and he threw down the teacup in his hand angrily and said: "By the way, you haven't said anything yet, how did you know that I would come here?"
"How did I know you were here?" Yin Can heard this and glanced at Xiao Han, humming: "You made such a big noise in Lingnan, would it be weird if I didn't know your whereabouts?"
"Ahem, did I make a lot of noise? It shouldn't be too loud, right?" Xiao Han couldn't help but grinned when he heard what he said, and said with a guilty conscience.
"Isn't that big?"
Unexpectedly, when Yin Can heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and he shouted in a lowered voice: "I overthrew the Lingnan King Feng An and forced him to retreat to the sea! I also wiped out several major local families one by one. Isn't this a big deal? You Do you know what those people call you secretly now?"
"How do you call me?" Xiao Han asked with some anxiety.
"Aristocratic killer!" Yin Can looked at Xiao Han, and his heart was filled with helplessness. He could only say word by word: "He is still the kind who kills one by one!"
"I haven't killed many aristocratic families! Like the Feng family, Xun Mansion, Nankang Mansion, those are all Xiao Li... Ahem, it was His Majesty who did it!" Xiao Han became anxious when he heard Yin Can's words. , almost jumped up from his seat on the spot: "That bastard gave me a nickname!
Family killer?
Who the hell gave herself the nickname Bird? If I put on this hat today, how would I be able to play happily with my friends in the court?
I haven’t seen that in today’s Tang Dynasty, the only people who can really be considered civilians are Liu Hongji, Xue Wanche and a few others! Such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Li Ji, Tang Jian and others.
Behind them, there is a huge family, and with their background and wealth, I can definitely call them a noble family! If I cut off all contact with them because of this, then I can taste the feeling of being alone in the family in the future.
"Why are you so anxious? This is not a nickname I gave you!" Seeing Xiao Han's furious look, Yin Can couldn't help but reveal a gloating smile, raised his hand, tapped the table lightly with his knuckles and said: " Besides, there’s nothing wrong with this nickname. You haven’t forgotten what happened with the fire in Runzhou, right?”
"That fire..." When Xiao Han heard this word, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head sharply to look at Yin Can, and exclaimed in a low voice: "How do you know that I did it!"
"How do you know? Nonsense!" Yin Can rolled his eyes and said calmly: "In Runzhou, those people just offended you and their house was burned to the ground. Anyone with any brains can guess that it was you who did it! Besides, in the past few years in Runzhou, people from your Xiao family have been squeezing in, right?"
"This...ahem!!
Xiao Han's face turned blue and white when Yin Can said it. Later, he slapped the table so hard that the teapots and cups on the table jumped, and the tea splashed everywhere. Then he said: "Huh huh." , now that you know everything! Then don’t blame me for being cruel..."
As he said that, Xiao Han was already staring at Yin Can with his vicious eyes! However, before he said the last spicy word, Yin Can stretched out his hand and casually grabbed a handful on the corner of the table filled with tea. A large piece of broken wood suddenly broke off from the corner of the table, as if this strong The old elm table is just like paper!
"Ahem!" Looking at the table with a large corner missing, he checked the gap between his bones and the wooden board. Xiao Han swallowed decisively and immediately changed his words: "That's all. Since it was your first offense and it was an unintentional mistake, I won't hold you accountable. However, this matter must not be mentioned to outsiders..."
"Telling to outsiders?" Looking at Xiao Han's cautious look, Yin Can laughed dumbly: "Telling to outsiders? Everyone who should know about this matter has already known it! It's useless to know what you shouldn't know! You Tell me who else to tell!"
"That's true!" When Xiao Han heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He never expected that this matter could be hidden, because at least Xiao Lizi already knew about it!
So, he sat back in his seat at this time, picked up his cup from the messy table, took a sip in a disguised manner and said: "Okay, don't just talk about me, let's talk about you. This year's college entrance examination, students How are they?"
"This year's big exam?" Hearing Xiao Han mention the students in the academy, Yin Can became obviously more serious. He sat up straight and said to Xiao Han: "This year's big exam turned out to be about miscellaneous subjects, which our people are good at! But I don't know what happened later. Why, it has been changed to focus on Jinshi subjects! The first exam is poetry, poetry and theory, which is not a good thing for our students in the academy!
Because our strength is to apply what we have learned, and these superficial articles are naturally inferior to those pedantic scholars with hanging heads and prickly buttocks, so I only let them participate in the county examination and the college examination. As for the township examination, they should wait for another three years! "
"Didn't you take part in the provincial examination?" Xiao Han frowned slightly, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Having been in the Tang Dynasty for so long and personally offering advice to Xiao Lizi on the imperial examinations, Xiao Han naturally knew about these provincial examinations and general examinations.
For example, the county examination that Yin Can mentioned is, to put it bluntly, to select the reading seeds in the county first! Once these people pass the exam, they can be regarded as children.
Of course, the so-called children do not refer to primary school students or children!
Don't you see, there are many white-haired children in the Tang Dynasty, and there are still many people who can't even pass the exam for the lowest grade of children!
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, after a student passes the Tongsheng examination, the next step is the college examination!
If you pass the imperial examination, you will get a scholar's diploma, which can be used to participate in the real imperial examination that is held every three years!
Of course, if you pass the scholar exam and don’t want to go to higher education, that’s okay too! Because of his status as a scholar, he is also extremely noble!
Rent-free, tax-free! When you see an official, you don't have to bow down. You don't have to check the roads when you travel around. If you want to make money, you can go to the yamen and work as a clerk. If that doesn't work, you can also set up a school in the village to teach and educate people. I don't know how much better a life of being a farmer would be compared to an old farmer who faces the loess and his back to the sky!
Scholar, scholar! Those with outstanding talents can be called scholars!
Perhaps, in many TV dramas of later generations, scholars have been belittled as worthless, as if they are really useless and are only scholars!
But in fact, a scholar can only be selected among hundreds or thousands of people! Coupled with the pitifully low level of knowledge in this era, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that a talented person is one in a million!
