"The Master said: If an official has a right heart, the people will be happy..."

In a small courtyard in Jiangzhou City, Yunjing sat under a pear tree and read the ancient books of the sages, taking notes on the paper from time to time to deepen his understanding.

Zi refers to Master, not the ‘sage’ in the minds of people in Yunjing’s previous life. In fact, the status of the Master in the Dali Dynasty is no different from that of the ‘sage’ in Yunjing’s previous life.

The significance of masters is not because of their high level of cultivation, but because they are respected by people for their contribution to the people of the world.

Once a scholar passes the exam, he or she will be qualified to be an official. Therefore, during the scholar stage, he is already learning how to be an official. This knowledge is a must. If you don’t even know how to be an official, how will you be able to serve the people in the future?

blessing?

The examination takes three consecutive days and involves a lot of content, all of which are relatively practical things, such as law, people's livelihood, case settlement, farming, etc. Relatively speaking, the content of the examination, such as poetry, songs, and other fancy things, takes up a lot of the content.

It's not surprising that the ratio is very small, not even at all.

Having great poems, lyrics, and songs does not mean that a person can be a good official. Those things are of little use to being an official.

Yunjing hopes that this year's examination will not involve poetry, poetry and the like. He is not good at this aspect and will be at a disadvantage. Talking too much will make him cry.

Yun Jing has no talent for writing poetry, and he has never thought of showing off his poems from his past life. Firstly, he can’t deceive himself. Secondly, the people around him still don’t know what he is like. If nothing else, just copy a poem.

When the poem came out, his master Li Qiu was the first to not believe it. He knew that the cloud scene was not the material for poetry...

After reading for most of the day, Yun Jing closed the book and rested, combining work and rest.

Song Yan brought a pot of tea at the right time, and then helped Yun Jing organize the manuscript. After being a book boy for many years, he and Yun Jing already had a tacit understanding.

Taking a sip of tea and looking at the pear tree that was already full of green pears, Yunjing wondered what was going on at home.

The reason why he chose a yard with a pear tree is because there is also a pear tree in his yard, and he will be very friendly when he sees the pear tree.

That year, the pear blossoms bloomed and the fragrance filled the courtyard. Yun Jing will never forget that after he passed the exam to become a scholar, the mother under the pear tree who was eagerly looking forward to the return of her child was so happy after hearing that she was admitted to the exam.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

"Master, almost all the talents from all over Jiangzhou have gathered in the city. In five days, the competition will begin to represent Jiangzhou to the capital. There are cultural gatherings everywhere these days, and several brothel girls have been given talents to compose poems.

Your reputation will rise due to praise. The young master once said that you can't just study behind closed doors. Do you need me to ask you about a few literary conferences to exchange ideas?" Song Yan said while sorting out the manuscript.

Yun Jing shook his head and said: "No need for the time being. The current literary society is just for those who want to spread fame for the four great talents. They are too utilitarian. Cultural exchanges should not be mixed with these things. Let's talk about it later."

"Young man, I understand. Speaking of which, the civil service examination will be held in a few months. Many scholars who are aspiring to an official career are studying hard like the young master and are not very interested in the current literary society. The circle of scholars is divided into two

Partly," Song Yan said with a smile.

Yun Jing shook his head and smiled: "Actually, whether you aspire to be one of the four great talents, you still have to work hard for the imperial examination, but the pursuit at this stage is just different, and there is no conflict. In many cases, reputation and status are linked. Even if the four great talents

So what, how many people can really be a proud prince in white clothes? After all, knowledge is the foundation."

"I don't know much about this," Song Yan thought for a while and shook his head.

Yunjing said: "You don't need to understand. Besides, it's a bit far for me to say this. There are things that should be done at each stage. I just need to prepare for the imperial examination with all my strength."

Yun Jing wanted to gain fame through the imperial examination more because he wanted to make his family happy. He was not very interested in becoming an official and would most likely not set foot in the officialdom in the future.

Officialdom is a big dyeing vat, regardless of personal strength. The winding and winding clouds inside feel that it is not suitable for my mentality.

Song Yan simply changed the subject and said: "Young Master, there has been a lot of fuss about the alien beast and giant python recently. People from many places have gathered in Jiangzhou to see the alien beast. However, during this time, there is no one around the alien beast.

I saw that there were a lot of vendettas in the Jianghu, and the government's stern warnings to those in the Jianghu were ineffective, but fortunately almost no one dared to mess around in the city."

"People in Jianghu are unruly people, and they use martial arts to break the law. However, the current competition between the four great talents, and even the imperial examination in the near future, is related to the country's talent selection. If people in Jianghu go too far, they will only commit suicide.

It's a shame, the government won't allow them to act recklessly at this time."

"That's true. I heard a few days ago that the master of the Jiangzhou Yingtang branch has spoken. If anyone dares to mess around during this period, he will have his cultivation level revoked, and the worst case will be executed!"

"In critical periods, it is natural to take heavy action..."

After reading every day, Yunjing would also chat with Song Yan, first to relax, and secondly to understand the surrounding situation, so as not to read "silly".

Although he had a photographic memory, the more Yunjing read and understood, the more he felt that his knowledge was insufficient. For this reason, he secretly took a lot of classes and benefited a lot from the explanations of many "experts".

It’s a scholar’s ​​thing, hehe...

It is worth mentioning that the matter in the Changsheng Palace has come to an end. The dynasty has taken heavy measures and labeled it as a deceptive thing. People are prohibited from secretly worshiping the Great Master Fu'an. Once discovered, they will be destroyed immediately. As for fines, they will also be punished.

He was dragged to listen to the old scholar reciting the classics of the sages so that he could wake up. Moreover, the books that had been circulated in the Changsheng Palace in the past were all classified as banned books and were destroyed. Private printing and dissemination were prohibited. Once discovered, it would be a felony.

Under the dynasty's series of measures, the influence of the Changsheng Palace is quickly being settled, and it will slowly be forgotten by the world, but that will take some time.

After sorting out the manuscript, Song Yan suddenly thought of something, slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Master, I heard an interesting thing today, it's about the Golden Wolf Dynasty."

"What's interesting about the Golden Wolf Dynasty? Tell me," Yunjing asked curiously.

Song Yan said: "This interesting story came out recently. It is rumored that in the capital of the Golden Wolf Dynasty, some good people recently selected the top ten beauties. Each of them is beautiful and fragrant. As soon as the ranking of these top ten beauties came out

, immediately attracted the attention of countless people, who all wanted to take a look at her beauty. Then, I don’t know the name of the beauty who ranked first in the Golden Wolf Dynasty. In order to win her heart, many people tried every means to please her. Maybe it was annoying.

Maybe, she made a statement, saying that if she didn't like a vulgar martial artist, people in the world should not bother him. Then she also said that the person she likes must be a handsome young man, and he must also be able to draw eyebrows and apply makeup. If he is good at it,

The poems of Fenghuaxueyue are even better. Just because of her words, even though many people in the dynasty were good at martial arts, maybe the most beautiful woman gave them some hope, they actually gave up their martial arts and picked up books, and ah, Jin

The atmosphere of the Wolf Dynasty has become..., how should I put it? Most of the discussions in the literary circle are about romantic poems, just to make a poem for the most beautiful woman to appreciate. The makeup industry has also quietly emerged, and there are many professional makeup professors.

In this place, most of the people who go to study are men. Master, are you talking about whether it’s funny or not?”

Yun Jing felt a little weird after hearing this. He always felt that something was wrong with him and that someone was definitely behind it. Could it be that he had taken the exchange with Master Deng seriously not long ago and had already started to act on it?

If this is the case, nothing can be seen yet. People just regard it as a fun thing. But if it continues to develop and the entire Golden Wolf Dynasty adopts a feminine trend, the result will be, tsk tsk, what is the difference between that and having the spine broken?

People don't realize the seriousness of the problem at all.

Yunjing didn't know if Mrs. Deng was causing trouble. If someone was really behind it, using beautiful women as an inducement, it was conceivable, but the effect seemed to be pretty good.

Smiling, Yunjing said: "It's quite interesting."

"No, I don't know how beautiful a woman must be to make people willing to cater to her and even give up her years of hard work." Song Yan shook his head and said speechlessly.

"It's normal for a hero to have a hard time with a beauty."

Song Yan didn't dwell too much on this matter. He just regarded it as a funny thing and didn't think about it deeply at all. Then he talked about the uproar in the Dajiang Dynasty, saying that the guy who practiced the evil skill of devouring other people's cultivation was getting more and more rampant.

Now, his cultivation level has skyrocketed day by day, and many people have been poisoned by him, which has become the foundation for his growth. Now there is a tendency that he cannot be suppressed. The officials of the Dajiang Dynasty organized manpower to encircle and suppress him, and people in the Jianghu even formed an alliance to crusade.

Song Yan said that he guessed that the people of the Dajiang Dynasty targeted him in such a big way because they were afraid of that person, and secondly, I am afraid that no one does not want to get that evil skill. Anyway, there is quite a big fuss now.

Yun Jing didn't comment on this, but secretly he felt a little bad. Could it be that someone really made his own Bei Ming Tian Swallowing Technique famous?

If that's the case, he's a ruthless person. Even though it's only a matter of inches, how much courage does it take to swing that sword?

'First it was the Sword Scripture, and now it is the Beiming Heaven Swallowing Technique. They have both become famous. How could there be so many evildoers in this world? I will never make up techniques randomly again,' Yun Jing thought to himself.

However, did that guy actually practice the Beiming Tianshuang Technique that he made up at random?

Yunjing didn't even think about confirming his idea. Who cares, it's just a crooked thing, with great hidden dangers...

After taking a short rest, he continued to study hard. When night fell, Yun Jing ate something. The master Song Yan went out by himself. He didn’t have to wait for himself at night. Then he flew to Nujiang City to accompany Bai Zhi. After reading, Yun Jing

He didn't neglect the beauty either.

Bai Zhi was extremely happy for Yun Jing's arrival. It was rare in the world to see the flowers in front of the flowers and the moon under the moon. On this night, Yun Jing unlocked the hot dog sausage game when she wanted to refuse, and the taste was... indescribable.

He did not remain silent in the gentle countryside. After dawn, Yun Jing said goodbye to his beautiful lady and continued to study. He agreed to accompany her when he had time. Anyway, he could fly, which was very convenient.

Life is more than just romance.

Yunjing's life was uneventful. After studying hard, he occasionally went to Bai Zhi's place and sometimes went to play with Xiao Zizi. The peaceful days passed day by day.

On the first day before Jiangzhou Talent Competition went to the capital to represent the city, a group of ten or twenty people came from outside the city, half of whom were innate masters, and three of them had true artistic conceptions.

The most eye-catching thing among the crowd is a luxury bicycle frame, which is almost like a small house.

The main body of this car is entirely made of precious spun wood, inlaid with many precious gems, and even the wheels are covered with gold. The cart is pulled by four precious scaly horses with heads and shoulders nearly three feet tall. This kind of

Horses can travel thousands of miles a day, and each one is worth more than 100,000 gold. In many cases, even if you have money, you can't buy it. A warrior in the acquired realm can kill it with just one hoof. Someone actually used four of them.

Come and pull the cart.

This car alone can be described as priceless, and the word "rich" is clearly demonstrated. However, the lineup of escorts is too gorgeous, and no one dares to make any plans.

In the spacious carriage, a young man was lying boredly, covered with a blanket woven from skylark feathers. That inconspicuous blanket alone was worth tens of thousands of dollars.

The skylark is a very rare bird that usually only lives in the cold snowy mountains. It is small and white in size, so it is very difficult to catch. Its feathers have a constant temperature effect, especially the one on the head, which is usually used as a royal tribute.

, and the blanket covering this young man was completely woven from the most precious feather on the skylark's head!

In short, the entire frame, everything inside and out, are treasures that are hard to buy on the market.

However, the young man seemed very bored. Even though there were six beautiful maids around him, he couldn't take a second look. It should be noted that each of these six maids could be the number one in the Pinyulou branch.

There is no way, young people have become accustomed to this boring life.

"Master, Qingjiang City is ahead," a servant reported outside the carriage.

The young man with 'Brain Pad Wave' suddenly cheered up a little and said, "How long until we arrive?"

"Young master, you have already seen the city wall and will soon enter the city. I have booked the best inn in the city in advance," the servant outside replied.

The young man didn't care about how much it would cost to book the best inn in Qingjiang City, but said: "How is the matter that I asked you to inquire about?"

"Master, we have found out the origin of the cake. Our people have contacted the shopkeeper twice, but the other party has no intention of selling the secret recipe. Our people are thinking of a way," the people outside said anxiously.

The young man curled his lips and said: "If you can't handle this, what's the use of you? If the other party doesn't sell, they'll increase the price. As long as the money you pay is enough, why don't you worry about not selling? If it doesn't work, just cooperate and give you dividends. There are many benefits to eating cakes.
