Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 84 Argument

When Mei Lin returned to the warm pavilion with Ying Shisan, Jin Miaomiao was discussing with Xue Ruitian about the three children continuing to study.

After Jin Miaomiao decided to accept the three children, he went to inquire about the teacher who taught the children in the army. Among the three children, Li Yu, the eldest, was the best at studying, and Mo Kai, the youngest, was tight. After that, it was Zhang Jing in the middle. The husband said that he did not have the talent for learning, but he was very good in other aspects.

Especially in terms of hands-on ability, my husband once gave Zhang Jing a set of wooden models. There are six models in total, with different degrees of difficulty from small to large. He asked him to dismantle them and reassemble them.Those models were obtained by Mr. from the classmates and friends of the current minister of the Ministry of Industry, and they are used to train young people who are new to the Ministry of Industry. If you want to master this set of models proficiently, the fastest record in the Ministry of Industry is half a month.But Zhang Jing, a child with very clear thinking and dexterous fingers, completely figured out the mechanism inside in less than ten days, and even made a set by himself.

The teacher sent the group of models made by Zhang Jing to the classmates, and they were praised and praised by the classmates. They said that this child will definitely achieve something in this field, and hope that the teacher can cultivate it well.

The husband told Jin Miaomiao exactly what his classmates said, and Jin Miaomiao also felt that the child's future should not be delayed, so he thought about discussing with everyone, whether to let the children go to the exam and come back.

"I think so. Since some of the three of them are very talented in reading and some have their own opinions in making things, isn't it too wasteful just to learn cooking from me?" Jin Miaomiao squatted in front of the three children, "At your current age, in an ordinary family, you should be ready to take the scientific examination? I remember two years ago, a ten-year-old boy passed the examination. Xiucai has been talked about by everyone for a while, saying that he is a rare child prodigy. If you go to take the exam now, you will not be able to get the title of child prodigy. It should be no problem to get a Jinshi or work hard to get a champion. Bar?"

"Hey, hey, has your brain been corroded by those poisonous weeds or something? Or is your memory messed up?" Xue Ruitian knocked Jin Miaomiao's head lightly with a fan very unceremoniously. He said unhurriedly, "Did you forget that there is a clear stipulation in Daxia's law that military households cannot participate in scientific examinations. These children were born at the border. After their parents died in battle, they are veritable military households. Those who are about to join the army when they arrive, are destined not to be qualified to take the scientific examination, do you understand?"

"But... but..." Jin Miaomiao then remembered that Daxia did have such a rule, but she was a little unwilling, "but..."

"But what? As a military household, it is a capital offense to hide your identity and take the scientific examination, you know?" Xue Ruitian knocked Jin Miaomiao on the head again, "Don't even talk about being a Jinshi, if you are admitted as a scholar, Identity verification is necessary. No matter how well the fake identity is done, it will be found out at this stage. Once the fake identity is found out, all people related to the candidate and officials who have contacted the candidate will be dismissed and investigated. You asked them to take part in the scientific examination, and if they were found to have problems, then the entire Shen Family Army and Jiaping Pass City will be jointly and severally responsible.”

"Are there no exceptions?" Jin Miaomiao said with a stiff neck, "What if these two children...are born to be officials?"

"Born to be an official? What is a natural to be an official?" Xue Ruitian shook his head helplessly, "Your brother doesn't teach you well. Knowing how to study does not mean that you will be an official. Even though those old guys in the cabinet are not number one, It is the second place in the list, Tanhua, at least a Jinshi, but do you know how many students in this world can study? How many official positions are there in this world? How many people are really able to be officials?" Xue Ruitian sighed, "How many talents who have become famous all over the world at a young age still run into walls everywhere in the court, and in the end they can only comfort themselves that they were born at the wrong time."

"Brother Xiaotian, I agree with what you said." Shen Cha shook the residence newspaper in his hand, "Miao Miao, don't take scholars and Jinshi too seriously, don't think too highly of them, once they are frustrated in officialdom, or in love, If you are frustrated, you will be like ordinary people, depressed and don't want to work. Look at the crap written by these frustrated literati, it is not as good as a child who is just learning composition!" Shen Cha looked disgusted Throwing the residence newspaper in her hand into the corner, she sighed, "It's not like the matter you're thinking about has never been discussed in the court, right?" She looked at Shen Haolin, "I remember that both civil servants and generals tried their best to If the young people in the frontier pass take the imperial examination, then the ability to replenish the loss of personnel in the army will be weakened in a timely manner, which is very detrimental to the frontier armies, especially in wartime."

"Xiaocha is right. Although we can continue to recruit from other places, it is far from quenching our thirst. Moreover, recruits from other places are not like border military households, who can go into battle without fear. .”

"One more important point." Jin Jing read the paperwork for a long time, was a little tired from sitting, stood up, walked to Jin Miaomiao's side, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "These military households have to follow All the soldiers in the army practice together, understand the tactics and tactics of the army, and will not retreat or lose their positions. Those soldiers recruited from other places have to be retrained. We don't have that time."

"I understand!" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "This matter is too simple for me."

"It's not your fault. You are a doctor accompanying the army. It's normal to not understand what's going on here. Don't you understand after we explain it this way? Don't say such stupid things in the future. There is Shen Jiajun, who has won many battles in the past few years and gained too much limelight, and some people are already jealous, so at this time, it is better for us to be honest and not let others make a big fuss about our braids." Xue Ruitian yawned, "Speaking of which, what's the point of taking the scientific examination? Those students who have studied hard for more than ten years, or even decades, don't have a penny of money. But military households are different. These children From birth, they have been paid monthly, although it is only a little bit, but the small amount adds up, and now it is not a small sum. Moreover, when they reach the age when they can go to the battlefield, they will set up Not to mention the increase in military merits and promotion of military ranks. If they are lucky, they can still be ranked in the imperial court. The speed is much faster than taking the scientific examination. Even if they pass the imperial examination, they still have to wait for years I’m a rich man, and my life is very poor, it’s not as good as our border crossing!”

"So, it is very wise for me to rein in the precipice in time." Jin Jing shook her head triumphantly, "The students who study with me are only at the sixth rank."

"The military division has now been promoted to the fourth rank by relying on military merits. They still have to salute obediently when they see you." Xue Ruitian squatted in front of the three children and said with a smile, "The ambition of these three children is to fight on the battlefield. To be a great general who will go down in history, not those officials in Xijing who care about people all day long, right?"

"Yes, Master Hou is right!" Li Yu tugged at Jin Miaomiao's sleeve and said seriously, "Sister Miaomiao, we just want to defend the border for the country and go to battle to kill the enemy, and we don't want to do anything else. Opportunity can be in court, and we don't want to go, we just want to stay here."

"Well, I won't mention this matter in the future." Now that the children have said so, Jin Miaomiao is a very open-minded person, and he must follow the children's own wishes, "However, you still have to continue studying. Now that you have worshiped me as your master, you can’t just learn how to cook from me, you also have to learn everything else.”

"Your sister Miao Miao is the only disciple of Master Huilan, do you know who Master Huilan is?"

"I know." Mo Kai nodded fiercely, "Sister Miao Miao told us."

"The master is very powerful. If we can be born a few years earlier, we will be lucky enough to listen to his teachings."

"Although you can't listen to Master Huilan's teachings face to face, you can listen to your sister Miaomiao's teachings!" Xue Ruitian rubbed the head of Li Yu, who was like a little adult, and said, "Master Huilan passed on all the skills in his body. Here it is for you sister Miaomiao, you have to learn from her well and strive to learn another master. But..." Xue Ruitian stood up and looked at Jin Miaomiao, "Master Huilan's kung fu is used to protect oneself It's not bad, but it's almost meaningless to go into battle and kill the enemy." He turned to look at Shen Cha, "Xiao Cha, who do you think is more suitable for the three of them to hand over to?"

"When you ask me, doesn't it mean that you have a definite answer in your heart? Brother Xiaotian, who do you want to teach them?" Shen Cha raised his head to look at Xue Ruitian, then at the three children, "We must be No way, I am so busy every day that I almost have no time to practice my merits, let alone teach children. How about this, leave it to the shadows, how about it?"

"That would be great!" Xue Ruitian patted the heads of the three children, "That's what I was thinking too!"

"It's just that the place in the training camp is too cold and not suitable for them to go to. Moreover, they still have to study during the day, so they only have free time in the morning and evening, which can be used to practice kung fu. How about this, let Xiao Wu, The [-]th and [-]th will take turns to teach them, whoever is not on duty is responsible for taking care of the children, and they are responsible for the specifics, what do you think?"

"Follow the general's arrangement!" Li Yu led his two younger brothers to salute Shen Cha in a dignified manner, "We will study hard and learn kung fu!"

At this time, Merlin brought Ying Shisan in from the outside, and happened to hear the words of the three children, Ying Shisan laughed.

"Hey, look who this is?" Jin Miaomiao stood up, walked in front of Ying Shisan, looked Ying Shisan up and down, "Master Shisan, you have been recuperating for a while. Not bad, it looks very good!"

"Thank you Miss Jin for your compliment." Ying Shisan twitched the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath, walked quickly to the table of Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists, and said, "Subordinate Thirteen I’ve seen the Duke, I’ve seen the boss!”

"Get up!" Shen Cha stood up, walked around the table, walked to Ying Shisan, and stretched out his hand to help him up, "Let the past go, and don't feel guilty, I have already punished you is you?"

"But the Duke fell seriously ill because of my dereliction of duty, and my subordinates..."

"Hey, don't worry, am I fine?" Shen Haolin patted himself, "Just listen to your boss and forget about those things!"

Ying Shisan looked at Shen Haolin, then at Shen Cha, and burst into tears.
