I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 689, killing less

Apart from this playground, the people in Jidu are discussing the new Mechanical University and the exams most this time. Although this is not dependent on officials like the imperial examinations, it only takes a few years to become a student of the Mechanical University. Once you finish your studies, you can join a steam engine factory as a skilled worker, and you can get a high-paying job with a monthly salary of tens of thousands.

Such a good thing is already good news for the common people. Small families like them are not from aristocratic families. It is God's blessing to find such a high-paying job. Why are they picking and choosing?
Of course, ordinary families still have self-knowledge. The children in most families have been educated in reading and literacy for several years. However, the exam is based on the topics of high school books, which is more than 10 times more difficult than the imperial examination.

The imperial examination can also be tested by the Universiade, but for the entrance examination of the University of Mechanical Engineering, people who have not studied before can't even understand the questions, let alone the exam.

Those who can really take the test are at least middle-class and above, or have only studied high school books. There are about 10,000+ people with such a culture in the whole Dagan, and there are probably tens of thousands of people who come to take the test. A little more may be candidates from Jidu. They are not far from home anyway, and they want to try their luck. The cost is not high anyway.

But this time, there are many family members accompanying the exams from the noble families in the south, and these people have caused the current Jidu to be overcrowded.This exam is a life-changing opportunity for many people and families.

The sons of elite families who have not yet left the Han Dynasty want to be admitted to the University of Mechanics to continue the family inheritance. The children of ordinary people want to be admitted to the University of Mechanics and change their own destiny. It is for the opportunity to learn how to make steam engines, so that his family can also build a steam engine factory.We must know that the steam engine is the most profitable industry now.Jidu Steam Engine Factory earned 2 million yuan in a month, and its profits are still growing rapidly. Now it has become the most profitable industry in Daqian.

All walks of life gathered in Jidu one after another, and they were all families above the middle class. For a while, there were no vacant rooms in the inns of Jidu.

Amid such commotion, Mr. Shui Jing brought his disciples to Jidu.

The group of them looked around.I saw crowded crowds everywhere in Jidu, horse-drawn carriages, ox carts and horse riders crowded the concrete roads several times wide, and traffic jams appeared on the land of Jidu thousands of years in advance!

The houses on both sides of the road are also extremely tall, people who come here for the first time will feel dizzy, as if they are in a small country.In such an unfamiliar environment, the gentry in Jingzhou were a little scared, and they were a bit nervous about entering the city with a little bumpkin!

On the contrary, Xu Shu, who has traveled all over the world, praised: "I have traveled for many years, even Luoyang City is not as prosperous as the capital of Jidu now. In the past, Yanzi said that the city of Linzi was sweating like rain and waving its sleeves to block out the sun. Today, Jidu is even worse than Linzi back then!"

Pang Tong was shocked and said: "All these high-rise buildings are made of cement. They are simply small docks. From this point of view, there are thousands of such high-rise buildings in the whole Ji. No wonder Lei Gong didn't use the city walls to defend Jidu. With these thousands of small forts, it is impossible to break through Jidu even with a million troops!"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "I am afraid that Shi Yuan has forgotten the power of today's artillery. No city wall can withstand the bombing of hundreds of artillery. It can be said that after the appearance of artillery, the city wall is useless. Instead, it has become an obstacle to the city. This is the reason why big cities don’t build city walls.”

Then Zhuge Liang made a mistake: "This city is so big, with such a population, and this exam has gathered the elites from all over the world. Where should we live?"

It would be fine if there were only students like them, no matter if it was an inn or a residential house, there would always be a solution, but now there are hundreds of them in a group, and there are still female relatives, it may be difficult to settle down!
At this time, Huang Yancheng, Pang De and Sima Jing were also discussing the next move.

Huang Yancheng and Pang Degong said helplessly: "We don't have any acquaintances in Youzhou, Decao, do you have any acquaintances in Ji?"

Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong are both local tyrants in Jingzhou, but they don’t have many friends in the Central Plains. Although a large number of Central Plains elites came to Jingzhou from the south under the attack of Dagan, these people came to rob Jingzhou’s interests. It would be good if these local snakes didn't fight with the powerful and powerful clans going south, and it was impossible for them to have any friendship at all.

Now the retribution has come, when they didn't make friends at the beginning, after they were kicked out of Jingzhou, they also became stray dogs, and they couldn't find a place to resettle them!They didn't even have a single friend in Thistle.

But Sima Hui is better than them. He is from Yangzhai, Yingchuan. He fled to Jingzhou during Dong Zhuo’s chaos and was accepted by Jingzhou’s elite clan. Political power, although under the attack of Dagan, the strength of the powerful clans all over the world has been greatly reduced, but the Yingchuan clan has been under the rule of Dagan for many years, and it stands to reason that there should be many Yingchuan clans in Jidu. Sichuan people, and these people should all know Sima Jing, so they can only look at him.

Sima Jing said helplessly: "I have already contacted my good friend Xun Yue. His family also has a business in Jidu. After thinking about it, he can help us solve the resettlement problem!"

At this moment, a carriage came in front of them, and a Confucian scholar who came out was Xun Yue. He said to Sima Jing in surprise, "Fuck you, you finally came to Jidu!"

Sima Jing smiled wryly and said: "You also know what happened in Jingzhou. Now I have brought the students to join you. I just ask you to find a way to accommodate them so that these students can have a stable environment for the exam. After the exam is completed, they will come back to you." Each finds a way to settle down!"

Hearing this, Xun Yue also felt empathy and said, "Lei Gong's murderous nature has decreased a lot in the past two years, and he is lucky to be able to survive."

If this was the elite clan of Bingzhou back then, most of the people here would have been exiled to the desert!Because of his Xun family's relationship with Daqian, most of the family's children followed Cao Cao to Crab Island, and Lei Gong killed not one of the powerful families in the entire Central Plains.But now the nobles in Jingzhou can still migrate freely, but they are not allowed to go to the south of the Yangtze River. This is already lucky among the nobles everywhere.

Xun Yue said: "I have already found a suitable residence for your exams, enough for you to live in Jidu for a while!"

After speaking, Xun Yue began to recruit more than a dozen large transport carriages, and let the students who followed Sima Jing go to their destinations step by step.
