The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

There is a poem to prove it: "The Tian family has few free months, but in May people are twice as busy. Read

М”

Bai Letian was serving as the county lieutenant of Yusi County at that time and wrote this poem. And Yuxi (Zhouzhi) County is a county under the jurisdiction of the provincial capital. Because it is close to the Wei River, in the southwest, and close to the Qinling Mountains in the south, the wheat receives light early and matures earlier than in other areas. Wheat is harvested in the fifth month of the lunar calendar. For late-ripening crops in other areas, most wheat farmers will be busy until around the end of July, and have to go north to Fengxiang to harvest wheat.

From ancient times to the present, the poverty of the people has not changed much.

Interestingly, the folk proverb in the Guanzhong area is: "When the Jin Dynasty comes, Yinhu County kills people and sets fire to Chang'an County."

Among the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, Yusi County is relatively wealthy.

When he reached the main road in the southern suburbs, Bai Gui no longer dared to ride a horse. He dismounted and took the rope and walked on the roadside, avoiding pedestrians.

I saw an old woman pulling a cart selling picked pears. They should be early pears in June. They are not as plump as later generations, but it can also be seen that they have been carefully selected and are quite neat in size. , well-proportioned, covered with a layer of felt cloth, and behind it was a seven or eight-year-old boy helping to push the cart.

"You lead the horse, and I'll help you pull the cart."

"It has a docile personality and won't run around. Don't worry..."

Bai Gui touched the boy's messy hair and threw the horse's rein into his hand.

"This can't be done..."

The old woman thought it was some young man who had compassion and stopped the cart, but when she saw it was a young man from a rich family, she did not dare to accept the offer and quickly declined.

"It's okay. I've been practicing martial arts recently, so I have no time to use my strength!"

Bai Gui found an excuse and pulled the old woman's cart involuntarily. He had strong muscles and bones. Even though his legs were not as good as Master Ma's, he was 30% better than ordinary people. He walked as fast as he could and didn't blush at all.

"Wu Zhen Chapter" says: "If you practice more than 800 virtues and accumulate 3,000 yin skills, you can balance your grievances with your relatives, and then you can meet the original wish of the gods."

The emphasis is on one thing: to practice inner alchemy, you must first accumulate virtue.

Although these are the words of Zhang Ziyang of the Quanzhen Southern Sect, it does not mean that the Northern Sect does not practice virtue, but it is more inclined to personal purity. Virtue must be done.

With virtue, practice can be faster.

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but there’s no psychological burden in doing good deeds.

The old woman can only follow with the boy.

When you arrive at the south gate, here is the market. You have to pay taxes when entering the city, and you have to pay additional taxes if you sell living animals, so most small merchants and hawkers gathered not far from the city gate to start their business.

Just a simple encounter.

It is nothing special.

Bai Gui took advantage of the situation and bought a bag of pears. They were not expensive, only costing a few cents. The old woman refused, saying that they were grown at home and were not worth a few cents. He put the money into the boy's hands, paid the city gate tax, and went straight to the normal school.

The Normal School has stables in the backyard.

Whether it was the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, the cavalry had room to play. The reason why the Qing Dynasty was forced to cede a large amount of land outside the customs was also related to the fact that the cavalry was completely defeated by the Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom...

Therefore, if you want to learn military skills, you cannot avoid riding a horse.

After handing the horse over to the school's stablekeeper, Bai Gui walked through the corridor and came to the wing of the lecture hall.

I didn't go back to the city during the curfew last night. As a rule, I had to report to Zhaifu.

"Learned martial arts?"

Seeing Bai Gui's obviously stronger body, Zhaifu was slightly surprised and guessed.

There are not many people who learn martial arts in normal schools, but there are always a few. Children from rich families can afford to hire a nursing school, and it is very common for them to be taught a few martial arts.

Then his eyes lit up, he stood up and said: "Gestures, gestures."

A moment.

Zhaifu was defeated and felt greatly relieved. He could see that Bai Gui had let him down on purpose, but the beatings were quite comfortable. He waved his hand and said, "Everything happens for a reason, and there is no punishment. Pay attention next time." Point, if you can't come back, ask someone to give you a message, otherwise we'll be looking for the lost student."

What he said was that the Normal School was relevant.

If something happens, just tell the school and the school will make the decision for you.

The Normal School cannot cover the sky in Qin Province, but it is inextricably linked to all walks of life. As long as you are a student from here, if you write a letter, basically everything that is not difficult will be handled with kindness.

Bai Gui thanked him.

…

Since saying goodbye to Master Ma, in addition to studying, Bai Gui's life has also included martial arts training. In order to facilitate his martial arts training, he rented a small courtyard next to the normal school. The price was not cheap, but it was within his affordability. However, he did not move out, but only went there specially when he was practicing martial arts.

During this period, General Zhang was also promoted to a member of the New Army Supervision and Training Institute. It was a bit far from the provincial capital and the New Army was not trained here. Moreover, his Japanese learning is already quite good, and it is no longer inconvenient to disturb General Zhang to teach again, but he will take some time to walk around every now and then.

Relationships come from frequent contact.

If you don't move around for a long time, it will gradually fade away.

With such methodical preparation, Qin Province's college examination also arrived as scheduled.

The college examination, also called the Taoist examination, takes place twice within three years, with two exams, mostly held in August every year. This year is also the time for the college examination.

The reason why the academy examination is called the academy examination is because it is taken in Gongyuan.

This is the last step to achieve the title of scholar.

The Qin Province Gongyuan was one of the fifteen Gongyuan built in the sixth year of Emperor Yongle's reign in the early Ming Dynasty. The Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites, originally located in the imperial city, had long been destroyed over the years. This Gongyuan is located in the Anding Gate of the main west gate of the provincial capital. It is adjacent to the Fuxue and Tijusi of the provincial capital. It is the official area of ​​​​Zheng'er Ba Jing.

In the early morning, just like the county examination and the government examination, everyone rushes out early.

It's just that Gongyuan is different from the simple examination sheds of the county and prefecture examinations. The dormitories and mat sheds of Gongyuan are more sophisticated. In front of the dragon gate, you can still see two tall walls with dried jujube thorns placed on the top of the walls. , thorns, to prevent someone from circumventing the wall and cheating, so Gongyuan is also called "thorns".

There are two archways built on the east and west sides of the dragon gate, namely "Tengjiao" and "Qifeng".

Candidates are checked in one by one.

Upon entering, you can see rows of adjacent dormitories. In the lower courtyard of the hall, there is another large pool of water. This is the water from the Tongji Canal in the west of the city. It is similar to Panchi. There is also a "bath for scholars". "virtue" means.

As for Bai Gui, as the head of the palace, he still has the title of sitting in the court, and his seat is located above the court.

After a roll call and a roll call, he took his seat.

"This is the capital of the city this time? He is restrained in appearance, strong in muscles and bones, and full of spirit. He looks like a practicing master at first glance." Governor Fang, who was sitting in the court, smiled slightly when he saw this, and looked at Magistrate Yin on one side.

As for Chen Xuezheng, although his official position is not as good as that of Governor Fang, the scientific examination is his home field, so he is in the front seat.
