The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 532: Chen Sheng
In the eldest son's city, people come and go, and the horses and horses flow like a dragon.

Between the square and the city, there is a turmoil of people, shoulder to shoulder, bustling with each other.

A thriving scene, the eldest son city, which was depressed a few years ago, seems to be just a dream.

The end of the year is approaching, this year is a good year, and it is also a harvest year.

The people have surplus money, and their faces are happy, and every household wants to buy some better New Year's goods to spend this year.

Not long ago, the government office of the eldest son city issued an order that there would be no curfew on New Year's Eve and the two days of the new year, which made the eldest son city even more lively again.

Walking on the road, pedestrians come and go, congratulating each other on the arrival of the New Year.

In the southern part of the eldest son city, most of the students of the Meng School have returned to their homes, and the school, which was originally full of books, has become much cooler.

An old man with half white hair and a slightly hunchback stood in front of the gate of Meng Xuetang, standing quietly, looking at the door plaque of Meng Xuetang, wondering what he was thinking.

The cold wind was bitter, but it didn't seem to have much effect on him.

A moment later, a boy who was only slightly shorter than him, wearing short brown clothes, ran out of the school in a hurry, and he skillfully locked the door of the school with two books between his hands.

"Teacher, lock it."

The boy locked the door and shouted respectfully.

The old man's eyes moved from the door plaque to the young man.

"You have talent, but don't be proud of it, and be diligent."

The old man looked solemn, stared at the respectful young man in front of him, and said solemnly.

"I have added your name to next year's autumn, don't let me down..."

The old man paused, seemed to remember something, and continued.

"Don't let your parents down either."

"Students keep this in mind and will never let their teacher or parents down."

The young man's face was full of solemnity, without the slightest bit of impatience, he responded respectfully.

The old man was about to say something more, but he saw a figure out of the corner of his eye.

"Student Chen Yu, meet the teacher."

A man dressed as a bureaucrat in blue and dark clothes walked slowly and bowed respectfully to the old man.

"The person who picked you up is here, it's time to go."

The old man glanced at the young man and said lightly.

The young man glanced at the old man, and walked in Chen Yu's direction.

"Teacher, it's better to come to the students' home on New Year's Eve this year. He Niang has almost prepared the meals."

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, then paused.

The old man showed some smiles on his face, and said with a faint smile.

"You're lucky, but it's a good match for He Niang to marry you."

The old man seemed to remember something, shook his head and said.

"It's a pity that you wanted you to go to the county school because of your high grades in the Taoist hall, but you turned it down immediately. It's a pity to miss this opportunity."

Chen Yu saluted respectfully, and explained: "There are powerful enemies outside and worries inside. If you enter the county school, you have to study for two or three years before you can enter the government office and become an official in the local government. But in the past, all places in my Taiping Dao lacked official jurisdiction, and the students also wanted to come out earlier and make some modest contributions."

"Students are ashamed to have failed the teacher's high expectations."

"I don't mean to blame you, but I just hope you don't regret your original choice."

The old man waved his hand and said helplessly.

A few years ago, he was still teaching in the Daotang, and Chen Yu was one of his students at that time.

He has excellent grades, is talented, and he can infer other things from one example, but in the end Chen Yu chose to graduate directly from the Taoist hall and wait for orders to arrange work instead of entering the county college for further studies, which also made the old man feel a little regretful.

According to Chen Yu's talent, as long as there are no accidents or too many mistakes, Chen Yu will definitely be the first batch of people in Taipingdao to enter the National Academy.

You must know that Xu An, a great virtuous and good teacher, is in charge of the sacrificial wine of the National Academy, and those who serve as Xuezheng in the National Academy are all important figures in the Taiping Dao. It can be said that the students who come out of the National Academy will definitely be the backbone of the Taiping Dao in the future.

"I won't go to your house. I've spent New Year's Eve alone for so many years. I'm not used to it when there are too many people."

The old man withdrew his smile, and his eyes fell on the young man next to Chen Yu again. He pointed to the young man and exhorted.

"I told you yesterday the extent of Chen Sheng's homework practice. After you take him back, remember not to let him waste his homework."

But now he doesn't worry about it anymore, because now Chen Yu sent him an even better talent——Chen Sheng.

If Chen Yu is a genius, then Chen Sheng is a genius among geniuses. Even Chen Yu who sent Chen Sheng to the school did not expect that Chen Sheng has the ability of photographic memory!
At that time, the Chinese teacher only read the "Three Character Classic" once, and Chen Sheng recounted it in its entirety.

Whether it is Chinese, mathematics, or even Taoism, Chen Sheng's learning progress is different from ordinary people.

In just over one semester, he finished the three-year course of Meng Xuetang. If the first autumn of Taiping Dao was not scheduled for next year, Chen Sheng would probably enter the county school to study.

For the old man's exhortation, Chen Yu did not neglect at all, and sang a promise respectfully.

The old man's name is Ge Zhou, a talisman. He entered Taoism very early. It is said that he joined the Taoism shortly after Zhang Jiao, the great virtuous teacher, and stayed in the Taihang Mountains to preach and cure diseases and save people.

Later, when Xu An established the Daoist Hall, he selected the knowledgeable Fu Zhu as Xuezheng, and Ge Zhou was naturally selected.

As for why he is now teaching in the Meng School, it is because of physical reasons. The adult students are really not energetic enough, so they are transferred to the Meng School to be responsible for teaching the children of the Meng School.

Chen Yu has always been respectful to the teacher who taught him from ignorance to literacy, and it is precisely because of this that he arranged Chen Sheng in the Meng School in the southern city of the eldest son.

"Let's go when you understand, don't make the family members wait in a hurry."

Ge Zhou smiled lightly, then turned around without delay, and walked slowly towards the other side of the road.

Chen Yu looked at Ge Zhou's slightly hunched back, his eyes dimmed, then faced Ge Zhou's back, and saluted solemnly.

Chen Sheng on the side didn't neglect either, noticing Chen Yu's salute, he also respectfully saluted Ge Zhou's leaving back.

"Let's go."

Chen Yu stood up, tilted his head slightly, shouted at Chen Sheng, and turned around.

Chen Sheng's eyes were still on Ge Zhou's back, and he reacted when he heard Chen Yu's voice. He quickly walked a few steps and followed behind Chen Yu.

Before he walked out of the school, the noisy sounds from the market outside had already been heard.

Chen Yu and Chen Sheng, one tall and one short, passed through the gate. Chen Yu told Chen Sheng to follow closely, and the two merged into the crowd.

The streets were bustling with people coming and going, and there were a lot more police officers maintaining law and order.

For these policemen, almost everyone they met would congratulate them.

Congratulations sounded from time to time, or two acquaintances, or congratulating and saluting to the Tiqi and the police of the Eagle Wolf Guard, it seemed extraordinary.

Chen Sheng looked at the scene on the street in astonishment. Although he had studied in the eldest son city for two semesters, he had stayed in the workshop all the time and had hardly gone out.

It was the first time he had seen such a lively scene.

All of this seemed to be the same as the Yellow Heaven Paradise described by the talisman of Tai Ping Dao when he was gathering in Chen's family.

Chen Sheng's footsteps slowed down a little unconsciously. He looked at the residents on the street who were bowing to each other with joy, and looked at the cars and horses passing by, and he was a little absent-minded for a while.

He thought of Ah Weng who had come to visit him some time ago, and there was blood on his face and a smile.

It is said that there is still a lot of surplus food at home this year, so I don't need to be hungry like before, and I can eat as much as I can.

Chen Sheng's actions were naturally not hidden from Chen Yu.

Chen Yu stopped in his tracks. He looked at Chen Sheng who was in a daze, and remembered what Chen Sheng said when they first met.

"After entering the school and becoming a civil servant, can I have enough to eat?"

At that time, Chen Sheng was extremely thin, but there seemed to be a power hidden in his eyes. It was those eyes that moved Chen Yu's heart to love talents.

"Do you know how the peaceful scene you see now came from?"

Chen Yu walked in front of Chen Sheng, lowered his voice, looked at the pedestrians on the street, and asked slowly.

Chen Sheng shook his head, a little confused.

Chen Yu chose a seat next to a roadside stall, and Chen Sheng also sat down.

When the stall owner saw Chen Yu in official uniform, he hurried over to greet him, not daring to neglect him.

Chen Yu took out the copper coin and handed it to the boss, and ordered two bowls of rice porridge and two vegetable cakes with a pleasant face.

Chen Sheng sat motionless in his seat. In the past, when the officials in official uniforms went to the countryside, they all hugged each other with arrogance. How could they be like Chen Yu, be kind to others, rich or poor? High and low are treated equally.

"Here are three bowls of rice porridge and six vegetable cakes."

Two men in dark blue police uniforms also sat down at this time, shouted at the stall owner who was preparing food, and looked very familiar, one of them opened the money bag early, took Out of copper coins.

The other policeman walked a little slower and fell behind, and the two people who were sitting beckoned him to come along.

Perhaps because he was a little impatient, when the policeman came running, he collided with a man who was walking a little faster.

Chen Sheng's heart tightened. He had followed his father to a city before, and the servants in the city were mostly fierce and vicious, and they were not easy to get along with.

At that time, there was a farmer who bumped into a guard and was beaten severely. His head was bleeding from the beating.

No one dared to stop him, even after the man fell to the ground and the guard left for a long time, no one dared to go forward to check.

Chen Sheng lifted his heart, he held onto the corner of his clothes tightly, and subconsciously glanced at Chen Yu.

Although he didn't know what official position Chen Yu was, he only knew that Chen Yu was a civil servant in the eldest son's government office, but those policemen seemed to be very respectful when they saw Chen Yu on weekdays, maybe Chen Yu could save the farmer.

What was expected did not happen.

The policeman did not stand proudly as Chen Sheng expected, to punish the farmer who bumped into him.

Instead, he was in a hurry to pick up the things that fell on the ground for the farmer who was knocked down.

"I told you not to be so frizzy on weekdays, be more careful, and never change."

The two policemen who had already sat up also stood up at this time, muttering in their mouths, and walked forward together to help pick up the things.

Chen Sheng was a little dazed, everything in front of him was unbelievable.

Even the policeman who hit people finally apologized to the farmer who was hit.

Chen Yu smiled lightly. He was not surprised by Chen Sheng's reaction. Chen Sheng followed the migrating team all the way from Qingzhou and traveled thousands of miles to Bingzhou.

After entering the Meng School, he kept his head down and studied hard, and never came out. In the previous holiday, Chen Sheng had been practicing with Ge Zhou in the school, and he never left the school.

Chen Yu picked up the rice porridge, took a sip slowly, and then said: "Don't be surprised, when you enter the county school, you will study 'law' and study the law. The great virtuous teacher promulgated a long time ago Eight decrees were issued, the eight decrees are the 'Four Musts' and 'Four Don'ts', which stipulate how people in the Taiping Road should behave."

"Four musts? Four don'ts?"

Chen Sheng had some doubts.

"Four things."

"One, be kind when talking to people."

"Second, buying and selling things must be fair."

"Three, damages must be compensated."

"Four, you have to return the borrowed things."

"Four nos."

"One, don't hit or swear."

"Second, the crops must not be damaged."

"Three, don't molested women."

"Four, don't take advantage of your power to bully others."

Chen Yu put down the wooden bowl in his hand and said.

"If there is a violation, the light one will be punished and punished, and the serious one will be directly expelled from Daoism."

Chen Sheng felt a little apprehensive, the punishment of expulsion from the Daoist book was not light. When he was studying in Meng Xuetang, Chen Yu often came to teach him his studies, and he also learned about some things in the government office.

If you want to be an official in Bingzhou, or even join the army, or become a policeman, there is a prerequisite.

This premise is to have Taoism.

Daoism refers to believers, and believers will not be included in the Taoist records. Those who enter the Tao are called Taoists, and they will be included in the Taoist records, and they can serve in the Taiping Dao and the Yellow Turban Army.

Of course, it is only about being qualified, whether you can actually serve, and joining the army still depends on your individual ability.

Chen Yu's face gradually became serious, he looked at Chen Sheng squarely, and said solemnly.

"The reason why this scene of peace can exist is precisely because there are laws and regulations to maintain law and order, it is precisely because of the great virtuous teachers who made the laws and led us forward, and it is precisely because there are countless soldiers guarding the border that Let us sit here peacefully, drink rice porridge, and eat vegetable cakes."

Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers died, and thousands of pioneers fell on the road.

Chen Yu's eyes were a little blurry.

Xu An's roar in Jinyang City in the past rang in Chen Yu's ears again.

"I want to snatch that knowledge, I want to snatch the power of literacy and reading from those powerful families!"

"We want to take back the food that originally belonged to us, and the power that originally belonged to us!"

"It's a revolution..."

"The sky is dead, and Han Zuo will die! I, Taiping Dao, will liberate this world!"
