Ji Tang

Chapter 1117 Gathering in Chang'an!

They didn't dare to disturb their husband's class. Only now did they know that not only was the head of the Yin family very knowledgeable, but even the daughter of the Yin family was also a well-read and talented lady. The younger children were all taught by the Yin family's daughter.

In addition to her, there is also her brother, who teaches students who have completed their enlightenment.Mr. Nian opened a small class to provide special teaching to some outstanding children.

Not only did he study essays, he also learned martial arts.Although it is not a profound martial arts, it is enough to prove Mr. Nie's enlightenment!
Every day, people quietly put some farm specialties at the door. If they are seen, they will run away.Even if he catches up, he will not admit that he was the one who set him free.

"Okay, that's it for today's class. Here's a question. When you go home, write an article and hand it over to me when you go to school the next day!"

"What is investigating things? Everyone speaks freely and writes based on what they have learned. It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, but don't be perfunctory!"

"Have you heard all?"

The students shouted: "I heard it!"

Tan Liang nodded with satisfaction and said, "get out of class is over!"

"Mr. worked hard!"

Seeing the children leaving one by one, Tan Liang smiled and began to pack away the things on the desk.

His real name is Ji Liang, and he is a member of the Ji clan. In terms of relationship, he is still a cousin of Ji Song, the current Duke of the State of Xi.

Since the Ji family separated a few years ago, the elders of the family originally wanted the younger brother to separate.But as the eldest brother in the family, how can he let his newly grown-up brother go out?

So regardless of his parents' obstruction, he went to the clan to sign up for a family separation.Afterwards, it was a done deal, and my parents had no choice but to agree.He originally wanted to settle down in Taiyuan.But during the inspection, he discovered Guizhou, where the people were poor and living a difficult life.As he watched women in one village after another doing farm work that was only done by men, his heart softened.
After many twists and turns, and even a big fight with his wife, he finally settled here.

He is not short of money, not to mention the income from Ji's Zhuangzi's workshop, but also the money given by his parents when he came out, which is enough for his family to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

He did not choose to go into business or become an official, but started a private school.In fact, this is what most Ji clan members do.The Ji family began to rise from the Ji family school, and the importance of reading is self-evident.

If the patriarch hadn't opened Ji's school, how could Ji's family be where it is today?
Whether it was Ji's Academy or later Taibai Academy.They are all symbols of Ji's rise!

Perhaps due to Ji Song's influence, the tribesmen's dedication to education is incomprehensible to others.The patriarch once said that no matter how poor you are, you must let your children study.

They kept this sentence in their hearts and never dared to forget it!

"gentlemen!"

Just when Tan Liang was about to leave, an anxious voice came from the door!

"Liu Cheng?"

"Do you have anything?"

Liu Cheng, this is a young man whose father is unknown and only his mother depends on him. He is over twenty-three years old, but he is not married.

It's not that no one told him to marry her, it's that her mother was unwilling and said she was not worthy of my son.When he first came here, one of the people who came to 'borrow' money was Liu Cheng, but after being punished by him, he was like a dog-skin plaster, pestering him all day long to learn martial arts.Later, I was really afraid of being pestered, so I taught him some lessons.

His family only has thin fields and no other income.His mother refused to let him go to the fields, so how much could her mother grow?

In order to support his family, this kid took a wrong path, relying on his abilities to do a lot of petty theft.But it wasn't a serious crime, so he was beaten a few times and then let go.

It wasn't until he met Nao Liang that he realized that the skills he was proud of were nothing in the eyes of others.

"Mr. Me."

Liu Cheng's face turned red, as if it was difficult to speak!
"If you have something to say, say it, if you have something to say, let it go. If you don't say anything, I can leave!"

Although this boy had some minor problems, he was very kind and sincere. In addition to leaving some money and food for his family, the rest was given to some lonely elderly people.

If not, he would have ignored her long ago.Dare to pester yourself?Haha, do you really think you have no temper?Back then, when he went north with his clan leader, no less than two Turks died at his own hands.
"gentlemen!"

Liu Cheng was so anxious when he saw it that he didn't care much. He gritted his teeth and said, "I want to join the army!"

"Join the army?"

Tan Liang was stunned. What does joining the army have to do with him?
But when I saw his depressed expression, I suddenly thought of something.

This kid has a name with the government. Even if His Majesty issues an edict, not everyone can join the army. At least he must have a clean family background.

"How are you doing?"

Although I know what this kid wants, the easier it is to get something, the less I will cherish it!

"The boy knows that he has made many mistakes before, but this time I ask you to make it right. My mother..."

He burst into tears when he said this. His mother, who depended on him for life, was gone, and he became a loner!

"This"

Tan Liang was also stunned. This man was so filial that even though her mother almost beat him to death, she still went to the fields to help her mother.In the end, if his mother hadn't forced him to die.
"Although my mother didn't say anything before she died, I know she wanted me to make a difference. But now besides this strength, what else do I have?"

"I can't let my mother die in silence, let alone let her down!"

Pfft!
I saw him kneeling on the ground, kowtowing hard and saying: "Please sir, please fulfill me!"

"How do you know that I can help you? You know I have no official position, I am just a teacher with a little money!"

But what Liu Cheng said next surprised him!
"I don't know either, but my mother said that you are a very capable person. She said that although my martial arts skills are not as good as your husband's, they are not bad either. The person who can inherit this heritage is not just a gentleman."

"She also said that the county magistrate here is a descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang. How can he be a simple person who can make him visit in person? So."

Tan Liang smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that he had been seen through?

"She is a strange woman. With such knowledge, I am afraid that your mother is not an ordinary person, and your life experience is not simple either!"

But Liu Cheng shook his head and said: "I don't know this, my mother never told me!"

"Never mind!"

Tan Liang sighed and said, "Wait!"

He then entered the backyard and soon came to Liu Cheng again. He handed a copy of the post to Liu Cheng and said, "Take this to the county magistrate and he will register it for you."

"That's all I can help you with. As for whether you can get ahead, that depends on your ability!"

Liu Cheng took the greeting note with trembling hands. He knew how important this post was. It was not an exaggeration to say that it could change his life.
At the county government office, Zheng Ming glanced at Liu Cheng and accepted the invitation. "You're lucky enough to ask for help from that person?"

This matter is not a big deal to him at all, he can handle it casually.

No one else knew about Tan Liang's identity, but how could Zheng, who was close to Ji, not know?Not only him, but most of the powerful families know about it.

But when the Ji family separated and came to the local area, they did not rob their interests or occupy their resources. They just opened private schools and accepted some students.

And this also has a lot of benefits for them, that is, Ji's family education!
As Ji's children spread all over the world, everyone discovered that Ji's family education was basically practical.Not only can they use it after learning it, but it also has a great inspirational effect on them.

Therefore, when Ji's family opened a school, they not only did not stop it, but also supported it openly and covertly. In the end, they even sent their own children to study. Ji's family also accepted all comers, but the tuition fees charged were not low.But this is not worth mentioning in their eyes!
Therefore, the place where the children of the Ji family settled down was not only not resisted by the major aristocratic families, but also received a lot of help. This was the main reason why the children of the Ji family were able to integrate into the local area so quickly.

A family that neither fights nor robs, but behind it is the behemoth Ji family.If there were no fundamental interests involved, no one would be stupid enough to offend him.

In the end, just open one eye, close one eye, and stay out of sight!

Hearing the words of the county magistrate, Liu Cheng said respectfully: "Mr. Yin looks down on me and doesn't know the things of villains."

Zheng Ming patted the post on the desk and sighed: "Even if I don't care about his Tan Liang's face, I still have to care about that person's face!"

"You should go back and wait for news about this matter! It is your blessing to be valued by Mr. Nie. I know a little about your life experience. Think of Mr. Nie when encountering problems in the future. Don't take the wrong path again. You will regret it later. "

Liu Cheng didn't know who the county official was talking about, but it should be the person behind Mr. Nian.Since the county magistrate didn't say anything, he had no reason to ask.

"Mr. Nie has shown kindness to the villain. I will remember it in my heart from now on and never forget it!"

Zheng Ming nodded and waved his hand, indicating that he could leave!
After walking out of the county government office, Liu Cheng looked up at the sky. He knew that his destiny had changed from now on.
After Zheng Ming left Liu Cheng, someone walked out from behind him. Who could it be if it wasn't Tan Liang?
"Brother Zishan, you have posed a problem for me!"

Taoliang smiled, sat down and said with a smile: "How difficult can it be? Although I don't know his life experience, he grew up here, and his mother is like that. I would rather die of exhaustion than him My son is doing nothing."

"Based on the age, it was the time when Datang and Dou Jiande were fighting, and this place was the residence of an important person."

Zheng Ming was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled bitterly and said: "Why would you help him if you knew it? If the court knew about it?"

"What can I do if I know? How many years have passed? The imperial court has granted amnesty to the whole world, so it is a bit inappropriate to mention the past!"

"Now is the time to win over people's hearts. People of that generation are dying and getting old, so why should we look away? That kid is a talent. As long as he has the opportunity, it will not be difficult to make a difference."

"That's all I can help. What kind of mischief he can do next is all his ability."

Zheng Ming was stunned. He originally thought that Yan Liang wanted to recommend talents to Ji, but now it seems that maybe it was just a whim?
As time went by, Chang'an City gathered tens of thousands of young people from all over the world.Either alone or in groups, they walked toward the camp outside Chang'an City.

They are all people who have been selected and recommended by local officials, and they all have some ability.Therefore, the imperial court only set up a simple selection this time. Those who can lift a stone pillar weighing [-] kilograms, shoot three out of ten, and have no disabilities or diseases.Plus a thirty mile long run.As long as you arrive within the stipulated time, you won’t be eliminated!

The reason this is the case this time is really because the quality of the soldiers this time is so good.Not only are they all young and strong under the age of 30, they also have some abilities.

Not only is he clean and can be recommended by the local officials, he should not be eliminated!

Because these are all related to political performance. If you dare to cheat and wait for training, your secret will be exposed immediately. No one will be so stupid!
In addition, after checking the roster of registered soldiers, it was found that whether it was the border army or the local army, the soldiers were a bit older.Although it was still within the prescribed range, the imperial court had to make preparations to replace some of the older veterans!

As a result, there was a scene of tens of thousands of people gathering in Chang'an!

"How many heroes and talents are there among them? I just hope you don't disappoint me!"

In the military camp, Li Shimin led Ji Song, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Xue Wanche and others to wait for the results in the big tent.

They didn't go to see it. They would wait until the top [-] finals.Otherwise, tens of thousands of people competing in the competition would exhaust them to death?

"Has the Military Justice Department gotten involved? Can you guarantee that there will be no personal gain?"

Li Shimin asked Li Jidao.

"Don't worry, your majesty. I cannot guarantee absolute fairness, but as long as one is found, I will never tolerate it!"

Li Shimin nodded and said nothing more.Absolute fairness is impossible, but as long as it can be relatively fair, that's good.

"I am optimistic about them. The fact that they can stand out from the tens of millions in the Tang Dynasty shows their ability. When the time comes, I am afraid there will be many surprises. Your Majesty, please don't be too happy!"

Ji Song said with a smile.

"Hahaha!"

Both Li Shimin and others laughed, and Cheng Yaojin loudly said: "Your Majesty, how about I make a bet with you? I bet that there will be at least three talented people in the top ten. If I win, what do you think?" The pear blossoms are white."

Hearing this, Li Shimin pointed at this old guy and really didn't know what to say.

He said angrily: "You only care about my good stuff? That is a good wine that has been stored for 20 years!"

"What? Your Majesty is afraid?"

Li Shimin stared blankly and said, "Afraid? What a joke!"

"I'll bet there are at least five great talents!"

"If I win, the osmanthus brew under your osmanthus tree will be mine."

Cheng Yaojin was dumbfounded now. The emperor was not acting according to common sense!
Even a fool knows that a great talent must appear this time, someone selected from tens of millions of people.On average, only one person is selected among thousands of people. If there is no one here, he can kick his head like a ball!

"Okay, just to get a good start. As long as every great talent emerges, I will produce a bottle of medicinal wine brewed with a century-old snow lotus."

"How about being the lucky draw for this time?"

"Sigh~"

After Ji Song said this, everyone was stunned by his generosity, even Li Shimin was jealous.Medicinal wine brewed from centuries-old snow lotus is simply a miracle medicine for women.Not only does it improve your appearance, it also has the effect of prolonging your life.

There is also medicinal wine brewed by thousand-year-old snow lotus, but it is rare to find. Even Ji Song has very little of it!And now most of them are in the hands of the Queen and Ping Yang, and others cannot get them at all.

But the century-old snow lotus medicinal liquor is also a rare good thing. Although it is not as effective as the thousand-year-old liquor, it can still appear on the market from time to time.

A pound of medicinal wine has been confiscated for thousands of dollars.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth thousands of gold, but the output is pitiful, only about forty or fifty kilograms per year at most.
