Two hundred and seventieth chapter aftermath

"It is because the wise men received rewards from the emperor, and the virtuous men were killed. Now there is a scholar who is xx county xx in xx, who respects the literature and martial arts. In the Xinfeng Public Examination, he has recorded the talent of civil and military talents and the ability of county and county..."

In a elegant room, a young scholar was so excited that he could not help himself and recited the contents loudly.

He had to be excited because this was a letter written to him by Emperor Changsun.

Although the letter did not use any gorgeous words or exaggerated modifiers, it simply described it. He showed his talent for civil and military in the Xinfeng Public Examination process, and expressed his affirmation, hoping that he would continue to work hard to "not be disappointed" and "forge ahead and practice the way of sages".

These few words are enough!

The parents who are at the top and listen to their son chanting the letter are equally excited.

Although his son was not selected for this Xinfeng Public Examination.

However, His Highness Changsun was able to personally study the book and encourage him!

This is success in itself!

"My son, Your Highness Changsun will not abandon you, so you should not bear your highness!" A middle-aged scholar sitting in the head stroked his beard and advised slightly: "Your Highness, treat you with the national sage. You must repay the talents of the national sage so that you can live up to your highness's trust!"

"How dare you, my son!" the young man bowed his head and bowed.

At this moment, in his heart, His Highness Changsun is the wise lord and holy king like the three kings and five emperors!

It is a monarch worth spending his whole life to be loyal and assisted!

The young man suppressed his excitement and took out another letter from his arms, saying, "My father, the minister of the Shizhong, led the Xinfeng Order Zhang Gong, and wrote a letter of recommendation to his son. Do you want to listen?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged scholar sitting upright in the head suddenly stood up and said, "My son, please read it to my father..."

A letter of recommendation is the stepping stone.

If the letter of recommendation from a Shizhong official is well operated, maybe his son can have a better starting point than others.

The young man then excitedly opened the silk book in his hand and began to recite it proudly.

The middle-aged scholar listened, and the joy on his face gradually faded.

It’s not that there is anything wrong with the content in this letter. In fact, the letter usually praises his son, and the evaluation is quite high.

only……

This letter of recommendation was written to the "County Road and the Chiefs of the County Bureau and the Frontier Prefectures and County Bureaus".

Moreover, the writing is very clear, and I am happy only when I see it.

In other words, although this letter of recommendation is effective, its effectiveness is limited to allowing the holder to obtain an opportunity to be received by the county rank and the county chiefs of the border prefectures.

Whether you can be used as an official depends on the other party.

It is not the kind of real recommendation letter of a talented young man in his name to a colleague or friend of his imagination.

but……

Having said that, the letter itself conveys countless goodwill.

A Shizhong official commented on his son, and this matter itself was an opportunity to hype.

At least, it is more than enough to deceive the mud legs of my village pavilion!

You know, this is Zhang Chiyou’s comment!

Thinking of this, the middle-aged scholar smiled again and said to his son: "In this Xinfeng Public Examination, my son will still be honored even if he fails. In the future, he must be cautious and impetuous, continue to study hard, and not let down His Highness Changsun's painstaking efforts!"

"No!" The young man bowed respectfully. At this moment, he had never liked reading as much as he did now and wanted to read.

He wants to work hard to be the "civil and military talent" that His Highness hopes.

…………………………………………

The same scene happened in hundreds of families.

Almost all the scholars who entered the interview but were not admitted received two letters with very different contents within three to five days.

One letter was written by Changsun and was encouraging.

He encouraged the scholar "Shao Xiushengxu to forge ahead" and "not to lose one's own will, and to practice the way of sages."

Another letter of recommendation was written in the name of Zhang Yue, and praised the scholar's performance and achievements in the public examination, and then recommended it to the "Zhuo County Roads and the county chiefs of the border prefectures and counties", saying that he was "a talent for the village party."

Just like this, I didn't pay any price.

Zhang Yue and Liu Jin were all looking at each other in Guanzhong.

Hundreds of literati and wise men and landlords and wealthy merchants started to clamor for public opinion, promoting Changsun’s “wisdom” and “Zhang Shizhong”’s wiseness, and then brought a sentence, “My son was fortunate to be forgiven by Changsun and wrote a letter to encourage him. Zhang Shizhong even wrote a letter to my son.”

But, ‘My son is determined and vows to be loyal to his eldest grandson and will not stop until his death. Now he is studying at home today and night to temper himself and wait for the future civil service examination’.

Then, those admitted families also kept up with this rhythm and promoted everywhere that "the dog is not talented, and now they are added to His Highness Changsun's disciples and are used as officials of Xinfeng."

So the neighbors and neighbors immediately looked envious and jealous.

Next, countless matchmakers came to the door with big bags.

The opening words were: "The x-public girl from xx Township is 28 years old. She is waiting for her name to be in the boudoir. I heard that you have a son of Qilin, and I wish to make the love between Qin and Jin."

Then, he quietly hinted, "X-male Sulai Bao loves this girl, prepared a dowry for her, xx million, and xx slaves...'

Usually few people can withstand such a fierce attack on gold bullets.

Especially those scholars who came from poor families, they were originally just the sons of a small landlord, and the family was only tens of thousands of dollars.

But now, the matchmaker comes to the door and asks for dowry for hundreds of thousands or even millions!

He also sent a lot of slaves, concubines, and a lot of land.

In the face of such conditions, let alone the other party’s daughter, she may not be ugly.

Even for the unsalted woman, someone would probably nod with his eyes closed.

As for those children who came from a family of literati or aristocratic families, they even met famous families and nobles who wanted to marry their daughters.

Although it is just a concubine from the sidelines.

But it still shocked the family and pushed this trend to its peak.

So, the whole Guanzhong knew about it.

There is one more day in this world to be noble, called the "Public Examination". Once you win, you can change your life, win, marry noble, rich and beautiful, and reach the peak of your life!

And as this trend intensifies.

The reputation of Liu Jin and Zhang Yue has been known to more people.

Especially Zhang Yue, his nickname of "Zhang Chiyou" even spread to the Kanto region and border areas with the business trip.

Even the Huns heard that a remarkable figure, "Zhang Chiyou", appeared in the Han Dynasty. It is said that this "Zhang Chiyou" was three feet tall, with three heads and six arms, and was extremely cruel. He once tore all into pieces of eight assassins who assassins who assassins who assassins him!

It was so terrifying that the Huns were frightened.

Therefore, some of the Xiongnu's lower-class herders who believed in shamanism and believed that all things had spirits even secretly pinched a statue of "Zhang Chiyou" in their dome, worshiping it day and night, and praying.

Not to mention, many herders seem to have improved their lives since they invited the statue of "Zhang Chiyou" to worship it.

Livestock rarely get sick, and occasionally they can hunt a few wild animals from the mountains and forests.

Even sickness rarely occurs.
