Bring The System To Datang

"There are ten questions about the current affairs policy. It will ask about the situation around the Tang Dynasty. It may ask the Tubo alone, or it may be Turkic. There are even white-clothed food and Tuqi Shi. The Southwestern is not ruled out."

On the first floor of the Ruoxiang Inn in the south of the city, a place for drinking and eating. In the evening, a student picked up the newspapers from the previous few days and read about the imperial examinations.

He just hurried to Chang'an, but was delayed on the way.

There were three people from the same state as him, and four of them were selected.

The three companions took care of him when he was ill and did not dare to leave him behind.

There is an ‘admission ticket’ in hand to prove that the four of them are candidates.

The admission ticket is the own identity certificate, plus the recommendation letter from the state government.

For example, if Meng Haoran was the first place in the examination, the county gave him a recommendation certificate. He took it to the prefecture and the examination was completed. The prefecture allowed him to take the imperial examination.

"Who wrote it? I don't see the slightest literary talent." The student next to him frowned.

Can something written in the newspaper be more literal? It's too white, it feels embarrassing.

"You know what the Turks will do with a little bit of text?" The person at the table next to the table looked up at the four students.

The four people had noticed when this person just came in. The person who came was in his forties, and his clothes were woven with fine linen.

The tiny stalks of straw can be seen from the gaps in the fine linen, indicating that the inside is warm and filled straw.

This man came in to eat a boxed lunch, a boxed lunch for a dollar.

During the day, those who sell box lunches in the south of the city have leftovers at night, and they will be delivered to the inns in Lijiazhuangzi in the south of the city.

Who wants to eat, spend a price, eat as much as you can eat.

Then some people who worked hard and wanted to drink a few sips came to eat.

The wine is naturally bought at the inn, and the price is the same as others, but the food is cheap.

If you want to eat the staple food, the staple food of the box lunch is not free.

Some scholars obviously look down on these coolie guys. If it weren't for the first time in Chang'an, the students who just talked about would probably have to teach a few words.

"How do I not know? I used troops again and again in Datang, only one place in Tubo. Although it occupies a lot of land, it costs no money.

At this time, peace should be the first to ease the imperial court's financial urgency.

If it weren't like this, where would the soldiers come from? All the soldiers who can fight are stored in Tibet, and the northern part of the Tang Dynasty is almost an unguarded place. "

The examinee showed a hint of sarcasm after speaking. The person who watched Coolie seemed to be asking: Do you understand?

Those who ate the leftovers of the box lunch looked at the candidates: "Turkic civil strife, peace is in Dan. In the northern part of the Tang Dynasty, the Yokoye can fight. The grassland clans gather and disperse due to the situation. If you slow down for a while, you will surely suffer. The imperial court is weak, Piff donated."

After the man finished speaking, he stretched out his arms and took out a stack of exchange coupons of varying denominations and patted them on the table.

"Treasurer Xiaodong, ask Li Dongzhu, is the court short of money? If it is short, we who carry the work at the dock in summer and drag the cart on the riverbank in winter will each donate ten yuan."

There was silence around, and the four new students moved in the same way, with their mouths slightly open, and their eyes staring at the people carrying the pier.

After a few breaths, one of the candidates who had just arrived at the other table mumbled: "Is it so demanding to live at the dock now?"

His little friends nodded vigorously, feeling that the impact they were now bearing was too great.

"Chang'an is really different. Yesterday I heard that someone who was sweeping on the street made a poem "Cleaning the Dust". I thought it was funny. I knew it today.

One of the little friends sighed and admitted the mistake.

"You used the wrong words. What is Yokono no war? Yokoye is lying on the field?" The examinee who looked down on people just now looked for something wrong.

"Yokoye Army." Several people said at the same time this time, and then looked at the examinee in surprise: You don't even know the Yokoye Army?

"Lao Du, this is nonsense. The court has a lot of money. Besides, if you need money, the proprietor will find a way. I will blanch the wine before some of them come."

Xiaodong, the person in charge of Lijiazhuang in the inn, held four wine bundles in one hand, and walked over with a glass wine bottle with a capacity of more than 500 milliliters in the other hand.

"Xiaodong, I can't afford to drink this liquor." When the person carrying the life saw the bottle, he waved his hands several times.

"Other people's leftovers are counted in that money."

Xiaodong smiled and put things on the table, and the man immediately came to blanch the wine bowl and boiling water.

Xiao Dongshun picked up the money on the table and stuffed it to Lao Du: "Sixty-degree wine, the five of you, drink it slowly."

Another guy brought out a plate of cucumber-mixed pig ears with chili oil on it from the back kitchen.

"How did this make it?" Old Du smiled wryly.

He knew in his heart that because of his talent, Xiaodong was the master to give himself wine and food.

"So, at least Lao Du, you understand the border situation, and literary talent is almost indifferent. After all, we don't take the imperial examination." Xiao Dong squinted at the examinee just now.

He is burying people. If he has a poor literary talent, he can only test the candidate's literary talent...

Candidate: "..."

He felt guilty in his heart and felt that he might not pass the exam this year.

Too scary, so scary, Chang'an now has no literary talent and mastery of state affairs, can't even do a job?

The one who just mumbled thought about going with him, and looked a little nervous: "Shopkeeper Xiaodong, I didn't pass the exam this year. I want to find a job. To be a buddy in your inn, do I need a gift? Is it difficult?"

"You can't be a man, oh, it has nothing to do with literary talent. You have a distinguished status as a candidate. How can you do the job of waiting for people?"

Xiaodong tells the truth, candidates will not put down their bodies to be buddies, only the proprietor can do anything.

The examinees felt very harsh, did you get scolded?

"Lao Du came first, did you steal it? Oh, Lao Du, you made a fortune?"

As soon as the curtain was lifted, four people came in, and the leading ones said as they walked. They looked puzzled when they saw the wine on the table.

"From the shopkeeper Xiaodong, there are pig ears mixed with cucumbers." Old Du pointed to four wine bunches.

The reason why there are not five, one for each person, is to set off the atmosphere.

If one person has a wine bundle, then drink own.

Four of five people need to pour the wine back and forth, a little more, a little less, and whoever pours it, it becomes lively and looks close.

The four newcomers expressed their gratitude to Xiaodong's cupped fist one after another. As for why, ask again when eating.

They took the tray to the place where the leftovers were filled, and they were all optimistic about which piece, and directly scooped it with a spoon or clamped it with tweezers.

The good things in the leftovers are usually picked away, and the rest are some radishes, cabbage, pork liver, chicken liver and so on.

The rich can still leave pork knuckles, which is taken to Bei Tian Fang.

It's too good to eat for one money.

What you can eat for a dollar is always a vegetable, even if the cabbage, the cabbage copied from the meat, there is still some oil and water in it.

Radish and cabbage are rich in vitamins and chlorophyll. Drinking soup with oil and water is a cost-effective one.

The key is to eat in the inn and be warm.

Then one person took out half of brown bread and prepared it for dipping in vegetable soup.

"The shopkeeper, let them see what else can be added to this table, including the staple food of wine and rice. I invite you."

A man sitting in the corner, dressed as a businessman, suddenly made a sound.
