Chapter 322 Who Plays Who (37)

He saw more people on the street than he had seen in Jiuyuan City before, and looking at the people next to him, most of them were adults with children.

He set up a shop in Jiuyuan City, but he rarely came here. This time, he hadn’t come to Jiuyuan City for more than half a year. Hearing that there was an accident in Jiuyuan City, he brought some goods over to have a look, and sorted out the accounts by the way. Take the money you earn.

He stuck his head out of the car window and asked the passer-by in front of him, "Dare to ask this brother, what are you doing?"

The person he asked was in his 30s, dressed like a farm boy.

The farmer is not alone, there is a woman of the same age as him beside him, a boy and a girl in their teens, they seem to be traveling as a family,

The farmer turned his head and saw that although Jia Hongkang was dressed richly, his face was kind and he felt at ease. He replied with a smile, "We are going to Jiuyuan Academy to enroll my little girl."

As he spoke, he looked at a pair of teenagers beside him.

The two children looked at Jia Hongkang and his caravan curiously.

Jia Hongkang knew that Jiuyuan Academy was opened by King Lin two years ago, and the tuition fees were low, which attracted many students to study in Jiuyuan City.

No matter how low the tuition fee is, it is still a big expense for ordinary people. Coupled with the consumption of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, ordinary people are mostly powerless.

Look at the farmer's family in front of me, who are all wearing coarse cloth clothes. Although they are not mended and starched, they can live well in life, but send a pair of children to study?

Can afford it?
He heard that Jiuyuan Academy opened a women's courtyard, but he didn't know the specifics.

Jia Hongkang asked, "Jiuyuan Women's Hospital also accepts such older children?"

He originally thought that Jiuyuan Women's College was similar to the women's school in Beijing, and it was only opened for wealthy families.

The farmer is a good talker, "Yes, girls aged seven to 15 will be accepted. We girls in Jiuyuan City don't have to pay money to enter the academy. It's just that boys have to pay, and those who can't pay can be used for work. arrived.

The shopkeeper hasn't come to Jiuyuan City for a while, our Jiuyuan City has changed now..."

Suddenly, there was a brisk sound of horse bells from behind.

The farmer looked back and said to Jia Hongkang, "Shopkeeper, move the carriage to the side. The guards are back. They should be going to beat the barbarians."

Before he finished speaking, he heard cheers from behind.

Jia Hongkang pulled the handlebar to the side, and the handlebar hurriedly drove the carriage to the side of the road. He was also curious about what was going on, and after the carriage stopped, he jumped down to look at the road.

I saw a group of riders coming from a distance, all wearing armor, not riding fast, and the horses ran forward at small steps.

"What a mighty horse." The handlebar praised, the guard's horse was a head taller than his carriage horse.

The farmer explained to them, "It's General Lu's third guard. Look, the leader is General Lu. I don't know how many barbarians they killed today."

The horse team of guards ran over, there were about thirty people, all of them were dusty and full of evil spirits.

There are varying numbers of human heads on almost every horse.The face of the human head was covered with a cloth, and only the strange and messy hair of the human head could be seen, which was the hairstyle of a barbarian.

Jia Hongkang looked at the head, feeling a little uncomfortable in his stomach, so he couldn't help but look away.

People around clapped their hands, and the peasant man followed suit, and his sons and daughters followed suit.

Is this the origin of the reputation for tough folk customs in remote areas?Jia Hongkang thought.

"Good job!" cried the farmer.

When the horse team passed by, the farmer was a little excited and said to Jia Hongkang, "The shopkeeper doesn't know that these barbarians have all come to our Linzhou border.

Commander Ruan found sweet potato seeds, and we were finally able to eat enough, and the barbarians made trouble again.

These barbarians killed everyone and robbed everything they saw. In one village, more than a hundred people were killed and only a dozen people were left. In the end, they fled to Jiuyuan City to survive.

Commander Ruan knew about it, and sent his bodyguards to kill those barbarians, which he regarded as revenge for those people.As long as there are barbarians, the guards will go out to kill the barbarians.

Letting the girl in the family go to the academy is also hoping that she can learn some martial arts..."

The farmer wanted to continue, but the girl next to him pulled down his skirt, "Father, it's almost too late."

After thinking about it, the farmer smiled shyly at Jia Hongkang, "I'm sorry shopkeeper, it's time for us to sign up."

"Where, I was the one who delayed the brothers, you guys go quickly. See you later." Jia Hongkang heard the good news, and his face couldn't be more kind.

"Hey. See you later." The farmer and his family hurriedly walked in the other direction.

Jia Hongkang knew about the barbarians going south. Half a year ago, when the general army was changed at the border, a group of barbarians found an opportunity to rush into Daqi territory.

Those who came to this area should be among the barbarians.If so, it is reasonable for the people in Jiuyuan City to hate the barbarians.

There is a garrison in Linzhou, and the garrison does not go to fight the barbarians, but the guards of the King of Lin...

Jia Hongkang said to the handlebar, "Let's go."

He was about to lower the curtain when he glanced around and saw two people sweeping the road.

The two were handsome, they were both dressed in the clothes of the young master, and they had their Taoist heads crossed. He immediately recognized that they were the subordinates of King Lin.

He didn't care much about the two of them cleaning the road, Lin Wang's subordinates had a lot of weird behaviors, and it was common for him to work in a blacksmith's shop for a day without getting paid.

Jia Hongkang was surprised at first, and then laughed, "What's so fun about sweeping the floor, I don't know that King Lin has found such eccentric people from here."

The three carriages soon arrived in front of a shop, and Jia Hongkang got out of the car. Steward Lin in the shop saw that the owner was coming, and hurriedly greeted him out of the shop, "Master, how are you doing along the way?"

Jia Hongkang said, "It's okay, there's no big trouble."

A clerk from the shop came out, said hello to the owner, and directed the carriage into the backyard to unload the goods.

Jia Hongkang stepped into the shop.

The main thing in his shop is the Four Treasures of the Study, so he was very happy to hear that Jiuyuan Academy accepts both men and women.

Regardless of whether the academy charged money or not, buying paper, ink, pens and inkstones always cost money. If there were more students, the business in his shop would increase accordingly.

The fact is also that there are two or three families in the shop who are choosing a complete set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and the assistants are taking care of them.

Steward Lin said to Jia Hongkang, "My boss is tired all the way, let's go to the backyard and have a rest."

Jia Hongkang waved his hands casually, "Don't use it for now. I think there are a lot of changes in Jiuyuan City. What kind of changes are they?"

Steward Lin said with joy on his face, "My boss asked, it's a great thing for our shop."

Jia Hongkang nodded, "Go in and talk."
