Datang first village

Lu Maofeng kissed a guard. The guard's saber skills were no less than Bai Erwa's, and he had even richer combat experience.

Standing in the hall, he didn't make a move immediately, but pointed out the etiquette of the saber contest first, and then made a gesture, the pretty boy saluted awkwardly, and slashed towards him forcefully with the saber raised in both hands.

The first cut was intended to test the opponent's strength.

The guards of Prince Qin's Mansion also greeted him with swords in both hands.

After hearing a crisp sound, the guard actually stepped back five steps, but the pretty boy didn't move at all.

In the next battle, the guards of Prince Qin's Mansion have already used their skills. Just a four or two strokes of a thousand catties made the pretty boy in a hurry, not to mention advanced skills such as sticking the knife, sliding the knife, and backing the knife. After five rounds, the pretty boy's knife is gone Was picked aside.

"It's very good. You don't have to exert your strength, but you move quickly. Very good!" Li Yuanxing praised him.Thinking about how to reward him, the pretty boy knelt down just like Yi Yihui's great gift: "Knife, learn the knife!"

Li Yuanxing nodded after thinking for a moment: "Yes, but learning the knife is very hard. And you have to go through honing before you can be recognized by the master. If you succeed in learning, this king will give you the famous knife of the Qin Palace with a hundred blades." Li Yuanxing After thinking for a while, he said to Lu Maofeng, "Give him to Yidao."

"One knife!" Lu Maofeng exclaimed.

Li Yuanxing still nodded.

Lu Maofeng saluted and retreated to the side, and then said to the pretty boy: "Hurry up and thank you, your master is the number one swordsman in the Qin Palace, everyone in the Tang Dynasty calls it a knife, because there are very few who can be his enemy Master. Thank you!"

The pretty boy can't speak Chinese well, and he only studied on the boat for a month.

It was Yi Yihui who explained it to him again before hurriedly saluting.

"Very well, what's his name?"

"His Royal Highness King Qin, our slaves and tenant farmers in Yamato do not have surnames or first names." Yi Yihui replied on his behalf.

After hearing this, Li Yuanxing said: "Since I have the opportunity to be the king's guard, I always need a name."

When Li Yuanxing was thinking, the man shouted: "I wish to be named Jinwei, and I wish to be a loyal person!"

Or this is a kind of fate.The name of the man boy was Konoe Tadahito, and he became the ancestor of the Washima Konoe family.

Of the thirty Japanese, except for Jinwei Zhongren who was left in the Qin Palace, the rest were sent to the school.

It is really a coincidence that the five major photographers in the history of Wajima, the Jinjia family, the Yiyi family, the Ertiao family, the Jiutiao family, and the Yingsi family all appeared among these 30 people, and they were all surnames chosen by themselves. But it is a very coincidence. You must know that these surnames only appeared in the shogunate era in the history of Wajima.

It is the various branches that came out of the original Fujiwara clan, and it was not until the Warring States Period that it became stronger.

After giving rewards to the Japanese and sending them back to Chang'an City, Li Yuanxing said to Lu Maofeng, "Go and tell Yidao that as long as the Japanese are loyal to the king, he will teach him the sword technique. One day he will fight for the king and become the leader of the king. The sharp blade of the king's subordinates. When the troops were sent out in early April, Yi Dao followed the king, and let the guard Zhongren also follow."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Yuanxing met the Japanese in person, which already showed enough importance.

At least King Qin's identity and who he is.Naturally, there was no need for Li Yuanxing to explain it himself. After they stayed in Chang'an for the first half year, they would naturally understand what kind of identity the King Qin of the Tang Dynasty was.

In the afternoon, Yi Yihui and 29 others went to Chang'an Rites Department to take the exam.

The restriction given to them is only one sentence, that is, they are not allowed to say that they are from Izumo of Washima Island. It can only be said that they came to Chang'an City a few years ago and stayed in Chang'an.

Although they don't understand, Yiyihui and others will still abide by this rule.

When Yiyihui and others came to Yuxuesi, there were already many people who were excluded.

Looking at the clothes of these people, Yiyihui and the others knew that these people must come from Wajima like themselves, but they looked very poor, and the most well-dressed one was just a blouse with a low-grade silk on top of burlap That's all.

The Japanese worship the strong, which is a typical concept of respecting the strong.

Their loyalty has two extremes, one is extreme loyalty, and this extreme has its very objective conditions.For example, when the head of the family dies, the important officials under the head of the family will generally die together, because they will not get the current status if they change the head of the family, so they will choose to die together, changing their loyalty and dignity.

The Japanese in the Asuka era have not yet reached the crazy religious fanatic loyalty of the post-Edo period or even the Meiji period.

And the other extreme loyalty is to be loyal only to very powerful people, which is the mentality of respecting the strong.

This point is most strongly reflected in the era of combat power in the mid-shogunate of Wajima.

Yiyihui looked at the clothes on his body, it was a high-quality rainbow brocade.Only the royal family could afford to put it on Wajima, and look at the barrier sword on the waist. There is no such sword in Wajima, but here it is very common, just a saber for inferior people.

He touched the piece of paper in his bosom again, on which was written a hundred strings.

He knew that one hundred guan was worth one hundred thousand dollars.And this piece of paper can be exchanged for coins in the banks in Chang'an City. Each of them has more or less, and he has at most [-] coins.Jinwei Zhongren has [-] yuan, and the lowest person here also has [-] yuan.I heard that five thousand coins can be exchanged for five stones of polished rice.

Then one hundred thousand dollars is one thousand shi of polished rice.

Thinking about it, City Lord Izumo was nothing more than that, he never stored a thousand shi of polished rice in his granary.

Looking at the Japanese people queuing up here, Yi Yihui nodded to the people beside him, and did not wait for the little official who brought them over to show up, but walked forward by himself.

The two strong Japanese people beside Yi Qiuhui yelled and cursed: "Go away, the Japanese people dare to block the way here!"

Hearing this scolding, the petty officials of Prince Qin's Mansion were stunned for a moment, but then laughed, and unnaturally slowed down their pace. They scolded the Japanese, not the people of the Tang Dynasty, so the petty officials of Prince Qin's Mansion would naturally I'm going to take care of it, but I want to see the excitement, so I can report something interesting when I go back.

Oshima Kozo is also here, and he managed to get a test opportunity from the Ministry of Rites.

To test the hundreds of people he brought here, each person paid twenty yuan for the test, which cost him a few pennies, but it was not a small sum of money.

Hearing the shout behind him, and it was in Japanese language, he couldn't help turning his head.

Oshima Kozo and Ichiko met each other, looking at each other.

After all, Hui Yiyi had been to Nara Castle, and he saw that the other party was wearing a bright red hat. This was the fifth rank of Taishi among the twelve ranks of Prince Shotoku, and he was regarded as a high official in Wajima.

But Yiyihui has no hat, and he is just a low-level civilian at the Wajima level.

"Get out of the way!" Someone who didn't understand Prince Shotoku's twelfth rank, the man next to Ichijoki let Oshima Kozo's entourage get out of the way with a single stroke of the sword, but they didn't dare to directly point at Oshima Kozo.

"Who are you?" Kozo Oshima asked.

"Eagle Chief Changkong!" Finally, he has a name, and it is a great honor to announce his name in front of others.And the other also raised the horizontal knife in his hand: "Two letters to you!" He also reported his name.

Oshima Kozo heard that the other party had a name, although he didn't have a hat, he didn't dare to underestimate it.

It's just that he has never heard of these two surnames.

After all, this is not Wajima, this is Chang'an City of Datang, Oshima Kozo motioned to make room for a table.

Yiyi Hui took a deep breath and walked forward. This scene can be said to have had a great impact on the 29 people. Just giving their names and letting the nobles of Wajima make way for them means that they have no less than nobles. identity.

"Shangguan from the Ministry of Rites, I will come to sign up for the exam." Yi Yihui behaved in front of the officials of Datang.

"Do you have a receipt?"

Yiyihui put the note issued by Prince Qin's Mansion on the table, and then said: "We forgot to buy a pen and paper on the way, can you sell it to us." Saying that, Yiyihui put the piece of paper representing one hundred guan on the table. Oshima Kozo was not very clear about what that note was on the table.

The official from the Ministry of Rituals glanced at it and scolded with a smile: "Is there any smaller savings document? Who would buy a pen and paper with [-] yuan?"

Yi Yihui looked behind him: "Who has five thousand coins."

The last half-old child squeezed over: "I have." Then he put his five penny coin on the table.

The official asked someone to accept the piece of paper, and then a small official asked the number of people, took three boxes of pens, thirty pieces of ink, and then gave each person twenty sheets of paper, a total of six hundred sheets were counted.Finally, a plate was placed on the table: "I'll charge you five coins, get back four coins and one hundred coins, ten coins for paper and pen, and twenty coins for the test fee."

Yiyihui received the coins from the half-grown child, and then led them into the place where the imperial examination was held.

Oshima Kozo suddenly asked the half-aged man, "What's your name?"

"Kujo Nobunaga!" After the half-grown child responded, he quickly followed the team and ran in.

Kozo Oshima was even more puzzled. Who were they? Even half-grown children had names. Among the hundreds of people he brought, there were less than 50 people with names, and the rest were Jiro, the big man shouted, and sometimes even he got people wrong.

Kozo Oshima was puzzled.

But those who were waiting to take the test were shocked.

The same Japanese people, why is there such a big gap between them.

There are only so many noble surnames among the Japanese, and those who can come here are more or less educated.

At least they haven't heard of these surnames.

When it comes to being rich, just looking at the difference in clothing makes them ashamed.

Many people inadvertently approached Yi Yihui and the others when they were taking the exam.

They can't talk casually during the exam, but they are waiting to get acquainted after the exam. (To be continued.)
