For those who fail the exam, they are generally unwilling to admit their shortcomings, and habitually blame the court, society and the corrupt system!
Huang Shimi is now in his early forties and is a typical person who has accomplished nothing!
Not to mention that the imperial examination is a turnaround for poor people, in fact it has nothing to do with them!
Studying takes time, and if you have time to study, you won’t have time to farm. At the embarrassing age of 40, when you have seniors and juniors, you can still calm down and study, or you have to break the pot and prepare to let the whole family follow. Either the person who died was from a well-off family and could afford it. There was absolutely no second possibility.
Huang Shimi belongs to the former. His family is considered poor. If he doesn't work, the whole family will starve. When he is over 40 years old, the old man in the family can't work anymore and can't afford him to study, so he can only stop working. He worked hard and got a copywriting job in the state, which was worthy of the books he read. At least the family did not have to go hungry.
But the disadvantage of being a scribe is that as long as you become a scribe, you will never be an official again in this life!
Liang Chuan has never understood the regulations of the imperial court, but one good thing is that it can accommodate a lot of idle people!
Of course, there are exceptions. Brother Song Gongming first became a court official and then became an official. However, the middle man also had the identity of being a rebel for several years. This survival rate was too low, and few people could imitate him.
It was impossible to pass the exam in the Song Dynasty, let alone in other dynasties, because these systems in the Song Dynasty were already much more enlightened than those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
.
Huang Shimi's failure to pass the exam was his own fault. He was not as capable as others, but his resentment was greater than anyone else. Now he had found an opportunity. If he followed Nong Zhigao and became famous, wouldn't it be the same as Guangzong Yaozu?
He also knew that he would never have the chance to take the imperial examination again. He would have no chance to get ahead in this life, so he could only use this method to find another way out.
Furthermore, he committed a heinous crime in Yongzhou. They conspired to open the city gates, causing the city of Yongzhou to fall. Such a major incident will come to light sooner or later. After all, there are so many people who know about it. One day he will be dug out. It will definitely not end well!
Rather than sit here and wait for death, it is better to run away early, maybe you can still get one.
Besides, this Nong Zhigao doesn't seem to be very smart. He is just like ordinary young people. He is too ambitious. Such a person is easy to manipulate, so you are right to follow him!
Huang Shimi scolded Xia Song in front of Nong Zhigao. Although Nong Zhigao didn't fully understand who Xia Song was, he had some idea.
Xia Song, like Lu Zhihan, did not have a good official reputation, and was even known as a traitor.
Scholars are all stubborn, and any small shortcomings in people will be magnified infinitely by them. They are not nice to others, but they are best at adding insult to injury!
For high-ranking officials like Xia Song who sit in the position of superiors, their requirements for such people are even more stringent and they will not tolerate even the slightest mistake!
Huang Shimi and Nong Zhigao came together. Two people with the same experience had an almost crazy hatred for this evil imperial examination system and the court system. As soon as the two started scolding, they got closer. the distance between.
"Xia Song and his like can hold the position of prime minister, but we who ask for orders for the people have no place in the court. It is not time and destiny, but the emperor's lack of justice, allowing traitors to rule, cutting off our way to serve the country." ! '
Nong Zhigao then expressed emotion, and Huang Shimi immediately became excited when he heard this, and asked urgently: "Sir, there is no need to worry. These troubled times are the time for you and me to show our best. You have land and people at hand, and Nanyue is just a small matter." Don't take it seriously! '
Nong Zhigao was very high-spirited now. All he could think about was pride, but he couldn't tell what reality was.
The people were furious after hearing this. This guy was so powerful. Why didn't the officials in Yongzhou City use him? Didn't he run as fast when the city was broken?
The group returned to Guangyuan, and the scene in front of them immediately shocked everyone!
Numerous private houses were built in the dilapidated Guangyuan Prefecture at this time, and there were traces of human settlement everywhere. It was even more lively than Guangyuan before the war with South Vietnam!
At that time, Guangyuan Prefecture was the place where the Song Dynasty and South Vietnam intersected, and some passing merchants would bring their goods here. Although it was not as big as Pingxiang, it still had its own unique atmosphere, and it could be called the Southwest. A little place to go.
However, during a war, the South Vietnamese couldn't help but level the place due to repeated provocations by Nong and his son, and the damage was quite complete. Nong Zhigao has never gone down the mountain since he went into the mountain to escape the war. This time he came back from Yongzhou and took the main road. It took him a few days, but he was surprised!
Is this still the Guangyuan he is familiar with?
Throughout the Guangyuan Plain, private houses of different sizes have been built. They all appear to be the simplest thatched houses. This kind of house is the most common in Guangyuan.
Originally, it was rare because most Nong people like to use bamboo to build houses. There are naturally many reasons. First, the craftsmanship of Nong people in building houses is not as good as that of Han people. Second, Nong people are not financially well-off. Materials are easy to source, widely available and low cost, which is best for them.
The climate in the south is also relatively hot in summer. If the craftsmanship is not up to standard, it will be extremely hot and stuffy when living in the house. Guangnan people cannot stand this kind of suffering and can only survive in bamboo buildings.
Why did so many houses seem to pop up overnight? Nong Zhigao took a closer look. Not only the houses, but also the population seemed to have increased a lot!
It's not that the number of Nong people has increased overnight. He knows exactly how many Nong people there are. Even the number of people in a family is an open secret in Guangyuan.
Population is an eternal pain for Guangyuan. Because the population cannot increase, many mountainous areas cannot be developed, and this place has never been able to achieve rapid development.
Why South Vietnam has developed so horribly in recent years is because South Vietnam discovered rice that can be grown for three seasons.
From the earliest one to two seasons of rice, the population more than tripled. Since the discovery of three-crop rice, the population suddenly increased tenfold.
With a sufficient population, they can enjoy the dividends brought by the population. Their ambitions no longer only lie in the small and narrow territory of South Vietnam. After many years of testing, they finally extended their claws to the Song Dynasty in the north, the suzerain state!
With so many people wearing Hanfu in front of him, Nong Zhigao couldn't believe his eyes, but what his eyes saw would not deceive others, because the small trade here was several times more prosperous than before!
A small market appeared in Guangyuan,
Although there is no shelter from the sun or wind, it does not prevent people from doing business here!
There are many snacks on the roadside, and the pots are steaming. Although they sell the simplest soup and noodles, as well as some steamed buns, the business is still very hot. People throw down a few copper coins and eat to their heart's content, without paying any attention to it. Nong Zhigao took it seriously.
There are also a large number of traveling merchants. Judging from their expressions and attire, they must have arrived in Guangyuan not long ago, and their loads have lost a lot of weight. However, the people buying things here are not Nong people, and Nong people can hardly be seen. , most of them are Han people.
When did Guangyuan become the territory of the Han people?
As for Di Qing, where has this kid gone? I asked him to go down the mountain to rectify the Nong people and gather the Nong people together, not the Han family!
Nong Zhigao was furious, thinking that Liang Chuan was still digging for gold in the mountains. He originally wanted to take people back to the mountains, pull him out and scold him, and then lead people to kill him down the mountain and drive away the Han people who had robbed his home.
Without land, what kind of toast would he be?
Before the front foot could move, the back foot encountered a large group of people.
I saw this group of people with many horses, and a long row of dragon-like carriages, with bags and bags of goods on them. Scattered grains and chaff were leaking from the pallets of the carriages. Nong Zhigao was shocked. , these are all grains!
He took Huang Shimi and the hunting team closer to see what was going on, but was unexpectedly stopped by this group of people!
'Don't come here if you have nothing to do. It's not a place for you to watch the excitement. Go and go! '
This group of people scolded Nong Zhigao and others unceremoniously.
They are all wearing smart clothes, and they are uniform clothes, and there is a word "Shun" on them.
The most important thing is that they are carrying weapons, so you have to pay special attention!
'Who are you, do you know where this place is? '
The loser Nong Tong stood up at this time and yelled at these people.
Lao Mazi had sharp eyes and glanced at this group of people. He always felt that he had seen these people somewhere, but he couldn't remember them for a while.
Finally, I saw Yu Hai riding a horse to see what was going on behind, and then I remembered.
'This is not the strong man I met outside Guanzhou City. Why has he come to our Guangyuan again? Is he here to see Di Qing? '
Looking for Di Qing? Hearing this name, Nong Zhigao's face dropped. Could it be that all this commotion was caused by his cheap uncle?
Sure enough, Yu Hai came on horseback, and the people in the hunting team immediately recognized them when they saw them.
Most of the hunting team are old people, and their clothes have not changed for thousands of years. Their conditions are not well-off. It is normal for them to wear one set of clothes for ten days and a half. There is no place to eat in the mountains. Where can they eat? Is there any place to change into new clothes?
'Your leader, Di Qing, help me send a message. I've brought him what he wants. Come see me! '
Nong Tong hated Di Qing the most. When he heard that they were looking for him again, he immediately jumped out and provoked: "What is Di Qing and Di Hei? Where is this place? Open your eyes and take a look. This is our Guangyuan." . '
Nong Tong wanted to show his loyalty and show off his presence in front of Nong Zhigao. Unexpectedly, Yu Hai ignored him at all and directly yelled: "Get out of here, you good man, I want to
I am looking for Di Qing, there are other cats and dogs that I don’t want to see! '
