Chapter 742 The mouse hiding in the shadows



Due to time constraints, Qin Hao and Yun Ye also had to act separately, and Yun Ye went to Shuzhong.

That is the hometown of Mr. Yushan. Originally, he wanted to go there by himself. When people get older, they always want to do something for their hometown. However, the old man is old and the road to Shu is difficult. Since ancient times, there are people who never go to Sichuan and never leave Shu. statement.

In order to prevent the old gentleman from having an accident on the way, Yun Ye had to do it for him. Before leaving, Mr. Yushan wrote a letter to Yun Ye. With this letter, Yun Ye's enrollment in Shu Middle School would be much smoother.

Half a month later, outside a village, there was a group of four people, riding tall horses. Although the leader was tired and tired, he could not hide his noble spirit.

"Sire, there is a village in front of us, named Liujiazhuang. When I was in Zuowuwei, I was stationed nearby. We have already reached the boundary of Shangzhou."

Qin Hao nodded: "Well, let's go to the village and have a look, and let's take a rest. We have worked hard during this period."

"promise."

The group of people flew all the way and soon arrived outside Zhuangzi. This Zhuangzi was not big, with only fifty or sixty households in total. When they saw such a group of people, they thought they were bandits coming to rob them, and they were all frightened. Dare to move.

Qin Hao turned over and dismounted, bowed his hands to everyone, picked up the tiger and leopard, and shouted in a deep voice, "Fellow folks, don't panic, we are coming from Guanzhong, and we will leave soon after passing by Guibao Land to rest for a while. "

After an old man looked at Qin Hao for a while, he said cautiously: "Is there any official guide for customs clearance?"

"Bold, a common man actually interrogated my lord!" shouted a follower.

The old man was so frightened that he almost knelt down to Qin Hao when his legs went weak.

Qin Hao quickly supported him and took out his fish charm from his arms.

"This thing can prove our identity."

The fish talisman was the identity certificate issued to officials by the Tang Dynasty. In fact, it was essentially the same as the identity card for ordinary people. In addition to basic information, it also recorded official position, rank, etc. According to the regulations of the Takeru period, only fifth-rank officials could He is eligible to issue fish charms, but those below the fifth rank are not eligible to possess them. Qin Hao is now a baron, equivalent to a fifth-rank official, and has just reached this threshold.

As soon as he saw Qin Hao's fish talisman, the old man's feet became softer. As the head of the village, he really knew what the fish talisman was and no longer dared to doubt it. He politely invited Qin Hao and his entourage to his home. Be a guest.

"Old woman, my second wife, a distinguished guest has arrived, why don't you come and greet her?" the old man shouted at the top of his lungs as soon as he entered the yard.

After a while, two women came out of the house, one was older, the other was younger, and there was a little boy with him.

"Why are you still standing there? Go and boil water for cooking."

The two women immediately went to the kitchen. Qin Hao and his entourage were welcomed into the house by the old man. Several horses were tied in the stables. Only Chi Yue was unwilling to go in. The entourage also knew that Qin Hao's horses were fierce and would not mess around. run and let it take a walk in the yard.

Although the old man is the head of the village, the situation at home is not much better. It is not an exaggeration to say that the family has only four walls. There is no furniture in the house, and the roof is still thatched. This is the case in the house of the head of the village, and the rest of the farmers can be imagined.

But it’s no wonder that the locust plague in Guanzhong last year affected 22 state capitals. It’s not easy for so many people in Zhuangzi to survive.

Qin Hao chatted with Old Man Liu for a while and got a general understanding of the situation in the village. Generally speaking, as long as there were no natural disasters, Liujiazhuang could live well, but the ancient civilian class could only barely survive. You can't save much food in a year, let alone money.

Not long after, Old Man Liu's wife and daughter-in-law served several bowls of noodles.

"Sir, there is nothing good at home, so I ordered some noodles and made do with it."

Qin Hao was not polite. He had eaten and slept in the open all the way, and he was indeed hungry. He picked up the bowl and ate the noodles. Although the taste was very ordinary, he finished it quickly.

As soon as he put down the bowl, Qin Hao saw the child hiding next to Old Man Liu's daughter-in-law, looking at him eagerly.

"Is this your grandson?"

Old man Liu touched the child's head with a kind smile on his face: "If I tell you Sir, it is my youngest son's seed."

"My dear, you are lucky today. If you meet a noble person, why don't you kowtow to him?"

The child was very obedient and would kowtow to Qin Hao as soon as he lay down on the ground.

Qin Hao smiled and pulled him up: "How old are you? What's your name?"

"Call me Erlai, he's six years old." The child blinked and looked at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao nodded, took out a small purse from his arms, poured out a golden bean and stuffed it into the child's hand. Speaking of which, this small purse was sent by Princess Changle before leaving. It has to be said that it was from ancient times. Girls’ mental age does mature early.

Old Man Liu's wife and daughter-in-law were dumbfounded, thinking that this lord was so generous, and he would always be golden when he made a move.

"I can't do it, I can't do it, Sir"

Before Old Man Liu could finish what he said, Qin Hao interrupted impatiently: "I'm happy to see this kid, so I gave him a gadget, but it's not for you. You can't decide on this."

After saying that, Qin Hao asked again: "Six years old? But when you reach the age to enter school, why didn't you choose a scientific name?"

Old man Liu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Last year, due to the locust plague, many families went elsewhere to escape famine, so the school was naturally abandoned. The old man went to the county to search several times, but couldn't find a suitable teacher, so he had to wait. .”

"Sir, you still need to find it as soon as possible. Now there is a Yushan Academy in Chang'an City. It was built with royal investment. In a few years, all children of the appropriate age from people in the Tang Dynasty will be able to take the exam. Once they enter the Yushan Academy, after graduation, not to mention the high-ranking officials. Lu, it’s not a problem to find a decent job.”

Since he was out looking for students, Qin Hao also took the opportunity to advertise, but he felt at ease with this advertisement. He was confident that within three years, Yushan Academy would surpass the Imperial College and become the highest educational institution in the Tang Dynasty.

Old man Liu believed Qin Hao's words. After all, given the identity of the other party, why would he lie to him and become a commoner?

"My lordship is right, the old man will go to the county to look for his husband."

Qin Hao smiled and rubbed the child's head: "If I don't mind it, let me give your little grandson a scientific name."

When the old man heard this, he was so excited that he took his grandson and knelt down to Qin Hao: "Silly boy, this is a great blessing. Why don't you thank the Lord quickly?"

"Thank you, Sir, for the name." The child was sincere and kowtowed to Qin Hao three times.

"The scientific name is Liu Hong, and the courtesy name is Qingyun."

"Liu Hong, Liu Qingyun, what a good name, thank you Sir for giving me the name." Old man Liu kowtowed to Qin Hao three times while pressing his little grandson's head. He looked even happier than getting the golden beans.

In the evening, Old Man Liu's son came back. After learning that Qin Hao had given his son a name, he almost kowtowed to Qin Hao again, but at least he was stopped.

Qin Hao and his party rested at Old Man Liu's house for a day and left early the next morning on horseback. Before leaving, Qin Hao also placed three golden beans under his pillow.

When Old Man Liu's daughter-in-law was cleaning up the bed, she found that Qin Hao and his party were nowhere to be found when they chased them out of the village.

"Good man." Old Man Liu held the golden beans in his hand and was moved to tears.

Qin Hao didn't know that he had once again received a good guy card in Datang and came all the way to Shangzhou County.

Shangzhou County is relatively prosperous, which is also related to its geographical location where three provinces meet. Qin Hao and his party came to the county, found a random inn, and stayed there.

"Xiao Er, let me ask you, where is this county school?"

County schools are government-run public schools that have existed since the Han Dynasty. They were later abolished by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and reactivated by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Many systems in the Tang Dynasty were actually still used in the Sui Dynasty. The same was true for county schools, but they were larger in scale. , fifty people from Jing County, forty people from Upper County, thirty-five people from Zhong County and Zhongxia County, and twenty people from Lower County.

An upper county like Shangzhou should have forty students.

After searching all the way, Qin Hao found that there were too few private schools in rural villages. Time was limited, so it would be more efficient to directly select them from county schools.

"Oh, just walk two streets to the right from the Yamen, and there is a place where there is a stone monument."

"Thank you, little brother. I'll bring you some of your store's specialty wine and food."

"okay."

After eating and drinking, Qin Hao and his party went to the county school. At first, the concierge refused to let them in. It was not until Qin Hao took out the fish charm that the concierge led the group to the mountain chief's office tremblingly.

When he saw Qin Hao's fish charm, the mountain chief naturally did not dare to neglect him. Hearing that Qin Hao was looking for a commoner disciple with outstanding knowledge, although he was confused, he did not dare to ask more questions.

"Sir, these four are the civilian children with the best grades in the county school."

Qin Hao looked at the four people for a while. The older two were sixteen or seventeen years old, and the younger ones were only thirteen or fourteen years old. Judging from their clothes, it was estimated that the family was at least a well-established country squire, but they were also Normally, in ancient times, it cost a lot of money to support a scholar. There were only forty places in the county school. If they could enter the county school, they were considered very talented.

"The Master said: When going out, it is like seeing a distinguished guest, and treating the people as if they are receiving a great sacrifice; do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you; have no grudges in the country, and no grudges at home. Zhong Gong said: Although Yong is not sensitive, he should say this when asking for something. "

"What's the explanation?"

Qin Hao's sudden question made the four of them stunned for a moment. They subconsciously looked at the mountain chief. Upon seeing this, the mountain chief coughed lightly: "Master Qin is testing your knowledge, so why don't you answer quickly?"

One of the students wearing a green shirt answered loudly: "Confucius said: When going out to do business, it is like going to receive nobles, and when dealing with people, it is like going to perform important sacrifices. You must be serious and serious. Don't impose on others what you don't want. Do it No one is resentful in the courts of the princes, and no one is resentful in the fiefdoms of the ministers. Zhong Gong said: Although I am stupid, I will do as you say."

Qin Hao nodded. Although it was just a basic question, he could answer it calmly, which showed that he had at least memorized the entire Analects of Confucius and understood its meaning, which was considered a certain level of proficiency.

"Have you ever learned Jiujiu Ge?"

"I have learned it before," the four of them said in unison.

Afterwards, Qin Hao gave them a few more arithmetic questions. Although they were a little slow, they got them right.

"Well, have you ever heard of Yushan Academy?"

When they heard about Yushan Academy, the four of them made no move, but the mountain chief looked at Qin Hao in shock: "Could it be the Duke?"

"Qin is here to recruit students for Yushan Academy this time. If you are willing, you can report to Yushan Academy on the first day of September. All the expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation will be borne by the academy." Qin Hao said seriously.

The mountain chief almost felt regretful when he heard this. If he had known this, he would have just sent a few people here. What a favor. Others didn't know about Yushan Academy, but he had already heard about it. It was a gathering place for nobles and nobles. Even the King of Yue, Li Tai, studied there. Many nobles wanted to put their children in it, and it is said that they even caused trouble to His Majesty.

"I'm willing."

The four of them are also smart people. Although they don't know where Yushan Academy is, they don't need to spend money and can go to Chang'an to study. It is definitely better than staying in a county school.

"Take a copy of their student records and I will take them back to the academy for filing."

Although the mountain director was reluctant, he had no choice but to go and get his student registration. He couldn't afford to offend this person.

After confirming the reporting time with four students, Qin Hao left the county school.

As soon as the group returned to the inn, the waiter greeted them enthusiastically.

"Master, someone just sent a letter saying that I must deliver it to you personally."

Qin Hao frowned slightly: "Where is the letter?"

The waiter carefully took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Qin Hao.

The attendant next to him took it for Qin Hao. He did not open it directly, but turned it around in his hand. He felt that there should be no special mechanism inside, so he took a few steps away and opened the seal. After confirming that there was only a letter inside, he sent it. In Qin Hao's hands.

Qin Hao opened it and knew that it must be Yun Ye's letter. He was so familiar with this character that even the most powerful calligrapher could not imitate it so perfectly.

But the content in the letter made Qin Hao frown.

"Tian Xiangzi, you still show your fox tail!"

According to the original work, Tian Xiangzi was a lunatic who pursued immortality. After leading a group of people to rebel from Momen, he established an organization, and the energy he controlled should not be underestimated.

In fact, Qin Hao knew that Tian Xiangzi was targeting them from the moment Mr. Li Shi appeared at Yushan Academy.

What Qin Hao didn't expect was that Tian Xiangzi would choose to take action at this time.

However, Qin Hao is not in a hurry. Tian Xiangzi has been pursuing the shortcut to immortality all his life. Yun Ye's life will not be in danger in his hands, and with Yun Ye's chicken thief, Tian Xiangzi will not get it in his mouth. What a bargain.

"Let's go to Nanyang!"

On the way, the entourage said worriedly: "Sir, how about I go back and recruit more people?"

"It's too late, let alone a mouse that only dares to hide in the shadows. There is no need to work so hard." Qin Hao sneered.

"promise."

The moment Qin Hao turned his head, a trace of evil flashed in the follower's eyes.

In a valley in Nanyang, Yun Ye woke up in a daze and found himself in a completely unfamiliar cave. He couldn't help but be shocked.

What shocked him even more was that an old man wearing a mask was staring at him with a strange look.

"Who are you?"

"I have long admired Lord Yun's name in Xiangzi, Xiamian."
