Chapter 1068 "Prince" Enrollment
Chapter 1068 "Prince" Enrollment (asking for monthly ticket, two in one)
The wheels rolled, crushing the bluestone.
laugh!
Chishan snorted and stopped where he was. When he saw a beautiful young mare passing by, he stamped his hooves, bared his teeth, and gave a wink.
In April in Pingyang, the weather is warm and flowers are blooming, which is the peak season for biological reproduction.
How majestic is a first-grade dragon-blood horse?
There were small dragon horns on his head, his blood-red scales sparkled, his muscles were like flowing water, he was mighty and tall, the young mare could hardly walk when she saw him, and she lifted her tail slightly. If a stallion looked at him, Chishan's eyes would widen and his legs would almost go weak and he would fall down.
Snapped!
Chishan's eyes regained clarity and he looked at the filly coldly, causing her to feel sad. Her budding heart withered before it could bloom.
Liang Qu retracted his palm and turned back to shout, "Uncle Chen, Shunzi, come down first."
The curtain opened.
"A Shui, didn't we say we were going to the martial arts academy? How come we are here...a tailor shop?" Chen Qingjiang got off the carriage and found that it was not the Huaiyin Martial Arts Academy, but a famous tailor shop in the city. Many masters came here to order clothes. He was not stupid and understood what was going on. However, he was worried that he was being too sentimental, so he had to ask one more question.
"Shunzi, you need to change into new clothes when school starts?"
Chen Qingjiang rubbed his hands and said, "That's not necessary. Aren't the clothes on my body in good condition? They are clean, comfortable, and made of good material. It's not embarrassing to wear them outside.
I went to the martial arts academy yesterday and saw that many students were not dressed as well as Shunzi. The worst ones had several patches on their elbows and knees, like 'quail clothes'.
Liang Qu didn't care: "Uncle Chen, it's different. Besides, I've already decided on the clothes, and no one else can wear them except Shunzi."
Chen Qingjiang definitely makes a lot of money.
In addition to the fish catch that was sold by the pound every month, there were also the more than ten acres of rice frog and rice leech medicinal fields that they had bought with Liang Qu. In addition, Liang Qu had exempted them from Pingyang taxes for several years, so it was all net profit. The family's house was renovated from an adobe to a two-courtyard house, which was spacious and bright. However, many habits from the poor times were still retained.
For example, the material of the clothes is good, but the size is obviously two sizes larger, so as to avoid it not fitting when you grow taller, and the tight shorts make it look like a long robe when you wear them.
Worried about wear and tear from martial arts training, Sister A-Di took the initiative to apply two layers of thick patches to several joints.
This doesn't work.
Liang Qu was too busy to care about others, but he always paid more attention to Uncle Chen's family. On the day he returned to Pingyang, he called Chen Shun over, and after measuring his figure, he didn't explain anything and went straight to order some new clothes.
"The martial arts hall is divided into different levels. Not to mention the faraway places, the dormitories are divided into four levels: sixteen, eight, four, and two-person dormitories. The food, drink, and supplements provided every day are all different.
What money you pay determines what dormitory you live in, what food you eat, and what medicine you take.
It was easy to put Shunzi in dormitories 16 or 18, but it was a bit of a stretch to put him in a dorm for four, not to mention a dorm for two, as the students there were not in the habit of buying large-sized clothes.
You are all in your teens, and you like to compare with others. If you wear something bad, people will look down on you. It is better to save some time, wear something good, and concentrate on practicing martial arts. Shunzi, don’t you think so? "
Chen Shun touched the back of his head, feeling embarrassed.
"Brother Shui, it's not that exaggerated..."
"Yes, it's not that exaggerated." Fan Xinglai said, holding Shunzi's shoulders, "Shanghu Academy is small, and only accepts students from the government office. The martial arts hall has several thousand people, and most of the students in the academy are eleven or twelve years old, while the martial arts hall is fifteen years old and knows everything."
"Is that so?" Liang Qu stepped over the threshold.
"Hey, Master Jiu!"
When the shopkeeper saw that it was Liang Qu, he came over to greet him personally, addressing him as Marquis Xingyi in the imperial capital, which was quite different from Master Liang in Xingyi Town.
"Boss, explain to me why you call me Master Jiu?"
The shopkeeper smiled and bowed: "Because he is the ninth disciple of Master Yang, and our boss is Madam Xu, we will call him Ninth Master."
Liang Qu pointed and said, "Uncle Chen, look, the owner of this tailor shop is my master's wife. I don't have to pay for the clothes I buy here."
The shopkeeper smiled, understood what was going on, and asked his clerk to get the tailored clothes.
The two families have been neighbors since their parents’ generation, and their friendship has lasted for more than a decade.
This was more than the first day they knew each other, so Chen Qingjiang agreed to the conversation.
From the time when Xingyi Man became the Marquis of Xingyi, others felt that Liang Qu was becoming increasingly difficult to approach, even the locals did not.
From childhood to adulthood, Liang Qu's family has lived in Yixing Township, just next door, and the location has never changed. If you are lucky, you can often see him rolling up his trouser legs, walking barefoot on the ridges of the fields, leading a few boys and a few river otters, catching loaches in the fields.
Wait for Shunzi to change his clothes.
New look!
Liang Quding's clothes were not gorgeous.
He was wearing a refreshing, dirt-resistant, plain grey shirt that was the perfect size, with a wide leather belt around his waist that had a few dark red patterns on it.
There are also wear-resistant patches on the joints, but they are all made of high-quality leather, glossy and shiny, beautiful and sturdy. They are not simply a few pieces of thick cloth sewn together, and there is also a pair of good leather boots on the feet.
In addition to the one I'm wearing, I have two other sets to alternate with.
Chen Shun touched Lala with an excited look on his face.
From childhood to adulthood, I have never worn new clothes that fit closely, and they were always two sizes larger.
He felt that he really had some qualities of a warrior, which was a completely different feeling from when he went to the academy.
Chen Qingjiang touched the material.
smooth.
I thought I would be a fisherman for the rest of my life, but unexpectedly, life turned out to be so good.
Shunzi even learned to read and write. Today he was going to learn martial arts. Although he didn't know how successful he would be, he still had hope. Next year Xiaokui would also go to the academy, and the two brothers would take turns.
What opportunity is this?
In the storytelling, it is always said that a great general accepted a meal as a favor, and repaid it with a thousand gold coins after he achieved success.
Chen Qingjiang used to be very envious.
A huge sum of money, if converted into several million kilograms of fish, could buy so many things and a huge house. But now he felt that it was just like that.
Illiterate, uneducated, and ignorant, what can I do with a fortune? First I have to buy a big house, then I have to find two guards. Are the guards reliable? Will relatives come and make a scene? After a few years, how much money will be left to pass on to my son?
It is better to teach people slowly.
There is no worry about food and drink, and there is work to do. It is busy but not tiring, and stressful but not exhausting.
There is no need to mess around when you learn a skill.
enriched.
"Clean and fresh!"
Liang Qu was very satisfied. He packed up his things and waved his hand.
The red mountain rolls up into a red dragon and rises into the sky!
The wind rolls up the white clouds.
There are rapeseed fields everywhere between the mountains and fields, and a sea of golden flowers is everywhere. Furry bees are lying in the flowers and lifting their butts.
Lively.
Things in the soil grow straight and lushly green from the bottom to the top, like a lazy stretch that can straighten the instep and toes. Life is the same.
Chen Shun opened the curtains, felt the cold wind, and stared at the scene.
Chen Qingjiang flew in the air, clenched his hands, and felt a chill in his lower abdomen, as if his liver and gallbladder were hanging in the air. It was so exciting. Looking at the fields again, he sighed: "Rapeseed is more beautiful than sesame and wheat."
Liang Qu glanced at the sea of flowers and thought of something: "Uncle Chen, I don't think I've seen rapeseed grown in the countryside before?"
He had no memory of this kind of golden sea of flowers appearing a few years ago. It only appeared in the last two or three years.
It's a bit strange.
"Yes, in the past, people who ate oil grew sesame instead of rapeseed. In fact, there was not much sesame. Sesame had to be planted in the summer and competed with rice for land, so people basically didn't eat much oil."
Although Chen Qingjiang is a fisherman, he has paid much attention to the fields since his family had them. He checks the ridges every day to make sure he can grow medicinal plants in the future. He can also come back to grow millet and accumulate a lot of experience.
"why?"
Chen Qingjiang thought for a moment and said, "It's because of you, Ah Shui."
"Me?" Liang Qu wondered, "What does what's planted in the field have to do with me?"
"Tax exemption, Pingyang Prefecture has been exempted for many years, isn't it all because of you, Ah Shui?" Chen Qingjiang said as a matter of course, "In the past, taxes had to be paid in grain, rice in summer and wheat in winter.
Rapeseed has to overwinter and compete with wheat for land. Apart from large farmers who grow it to sell, not many people grow it.
After being exempted from tax, people saved money and grain in the first few years to prepare for disasters. In summer, they only grew one round of rice, and in winter, they left all the land to grow vegetables.
In the past, we had enough rice and wheat to eat, but who would want to live on rice, pickles and salted fish all year round? Rapeseed oil is easier to sell after it is pressed.”
Liang Qu suddenly realized.
If there is no disease or disaster, the biggest problem with farming is not whether you have enough food to eat.
Anyone who has done farm work knows how tiring it is. During the slack season, you drink porridge, and during the busy season, you must eat. If you don't have enough food and your income is not enough to cover your expenses, a strong man will die in a few years.
The biggest problem is actually the lack of side dishes, and people are afraid to waste land on growing vegetables.
Who would be willing to eat salted fish every day if they had the means?
Rapeseed oil residue can be used as fertilizer or feed, and chickens and ducks are often raised at home. Two rounds of tax exemption, flower sponge extension.
Huaiyin Wutang.
The imperial plaque is decorated with flying dragons and phoenixes and shines with golden light.
Chen Jiechang raised his fist high with his five fingers spread out: "Disband for now, free movement!"
"Roar!"
The small class of more than a dozen people suddenly dispersed, and those who were standing still collapsed on the ground to drink some tea.
More people ran to the center of the martial arts hall. At this moment, many people gathered in front of the house and lined up. It was crowded.
At the end of March, a major reform was carried out in the martial arts halls and academies in the two capitals.
The first is the school system, which has officially evolved from the five grades of the four levels of skin, flesh, bones and blood to the sixth, seventh and eighth grades covering the three realms of galloping horses, as well as the ninth grade of the extreme realm of galloping horses, the sprint to the wolf smoke.
Above the Wolf Smoke, teaching is no longer done by the academy, but rather by a points contribution system.
In many towns and villages, martial arts masters are considered little masters, and it is somewhat embarrassing to be a student again, not to mention wolf smoke.
At this level, the martial arts hall cannot teach anything unless they formally accept disciples to pass on their unique skills, so they just come here to be instructors!
On the one hand, the teaching quality is exchanged for points, and the points are exchanged for the opportunity to observe the visualization diagram, or other martial arts resources. The gains are less than those in the government office, but it is easier than the government office.
Secondly, it can alleviate the teaching pressure of the martial arts hall and the local financial pressure, similar to the "work-for-relief" policy of retaining counselors on campus.
Once the change comes.
Yang Dongxiong is now a hands-off boss, and Xu Zishuai is mostly busy.
Including the visualization pictures that will be arriving in April, they require special venues and guards to prevent them from being stolen.
Today is the first time that the visualization map is open to the public.
Everyone is very curious about this new thing.
In particular, I learned the news that among the four major martial arts halls, the only super-quality visualization map in the world is in Huaiyin Martial Arts Hall!
I feel proud every time I mention it!
Xu Zishuai sensed the students' emotions and took the opportunity to carve words on the huge rock outside the meditation hall in the middle of the night yesterday.
"Today I am proud of my alma mater, and tomorrow my alma mater will be proud of me!"
The dust was rising.
"Hanwen, which one do you want to look at first? You can only look at the visualization diagram once every three days, one at a time."
"Of course it's to kill the dragon!"
"I heard that the Heart Monkey is also good. It is better for strengthening the body than killing the Jiao and the Azure Dragon. It is more suitable for me."
Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen and Jin Xiaoyu stood in front of the team in different postures, with high spirits and loud discussions, which aroused a lot of envy.
Ever since the three of them accompanied Marquis Xingyi to the imperial capital, there has been a pathetic thick barrier between them and ordinary students.
After a few words, he would tell you all about the capital and all the special snacks.
Even when eating a piece of fruit, he would lose interest and say something like "It's not as good as the pet hedgehog of Marquis Xingyi", with an expression that showed he missed his comrades who had fought with him through thick and thin together.
Today, they even skipped the student selection and tried it out first. They could choose any visualization picture to observe. Not only that, as long as they are still in the academy, they can see it every three days, and the treatment is very good. I heard that several government offices are looking for people. As long as they graduate, they can start working immediately, with preferential grades, and they receive a lot of love letters every day.
My teeth are broken!
"Lord Xingyi!"
There was a sudden cry of surprise from the crowd.
Everyone looked up.
In the sky, a red dragon roared over!
An iconic car that everyone knows.
"I am so ignorant. You should call him Marquis of Xingyi! The name of Earl of Xingyi is so outdated."
"Why is Xingyi Hou here? What's going on?"
The red dragon turned into a dragon-blood horse, dust rose up, and the luxurious carriage was stable.
"A Shui! Why are you here today? Didn't you say you were going to inspect the Huaijiang River? Are you here to see the visualization diagram?" Xiang Changsong walked out from the inner room.
"We're leaving tomorrow, I'm here to get people to sign up today!"
"Huh?" Xiang Changsong was surprised, "You're going to register?"
The students who came closer to "eavesdrop" were in an uproar.
"!!!"
Xingyi Hou led the registration?
Which prince came to Wu Tang? To endorse Wu Tang?
Chen Shun jumped out of the car.
Unremarkable.
The real person never reveals his face. After a moment of thought, the students narrowed their eyes.
Is it possible...
A secret visit? White dragon fish suit?
However, Chen Jiechang, Li Libo and others recognized it at a glance, it was Shunzi!
They are all from Yixing Town and often bump into each other. No one knows each other.
In the past, there were more than a thousand people in Yixing Town, most of whom were surnamed Chen. Chen Jiechang and Chen Qingjiang were considered relatives, and going back several generations, they were all one family.
"No wonder. Counting his age, Shunzi is already fourteen or fifteen years old. Wow, time flies so fast." Li Libo sighed.
"Oh, I remember!" After a long period of thinking, Xiang Changsong recalled the deeds he had learned before Liang Qu became his apprentice. "Okay, I'll register! I haven't done this for a long time."
"Thank you, senior brother!"
"That would be polite?"
"Hey, let's go to Langyun Tower together tonight?"
"Let's do it another day. I'm too busy lately..."
Liang Qu led Chen Shun, and the process was almost the same as before. He only paid the lowest level back then, but now he directly gave Shunzi the full level, with all the pills, medicinal soups, and medicinal baths every month. However, when choosing a dormitory, he did not choose the best two-person dormitory, but changed to a four-person dormitory.
The tolerance rate of two people is a bit low, which is not conducive to expanding social circles. Four people are just right, not too many and not too few.
"Brother, take out all the pages of the four dormitories. Shunzi, do you know anyone in the academy? They are all the same age, so there should be many who entered the academy around the same time as you, right?"
"Can I choose?" Chen Shun widened his eyes.
"Of course, it's just a dormitory."
Hearing Liang Qu's words, Xiang Changsong rolled his eyes and was too lazy to refute.
Chen Shun flipped through the pages one by one and finally chose a dormitory where someone he knew lived. There was no need to make any adjustments as everyone arrived at about the same time and there was a vacancy.
"First grade...the teacher will assign you to Chen Jiechang and Li Libo. You two happen to be from the same hometown." Xiang Changsong opened the file.
"Yeah." Chen Shun nodded repeatedly.
He was a little scared at first, as there were thousands of students in a school where he was unfamiliar with the place. But when he got in, he found that his teachers, classmates and roommates were all familiar faces!
Snapped!
Stamp Xiang Changsong's seal, sort out the files, and distribute the wooden plaques.
"It's done, let's go." Liang Qu inserted his index finger into the wooden sign's lanyard and spun it a few times, "I'll take you to get familiar with the martial arts hall!"
"Ha." Xiang Changsong laughed, "Are you familiar with leading people? Have you been here a few times? Do you understand everything? Do you know where the bathhouse is, where the toilet is, where the dormitory is?"
Fatal three in a row.
"Um... then come on, senior brother." Liang Qu changed the subject, "Are there any students with a similar level to Shunzi? Since you are here, I will give them a lesson today."
"Oh, great. Marquis Xingyi wants to attend the class. That's great. I'll arrange it right away! Awen and Awu!" Xiang Changsong called over two students.
In no time.
The martial arts hall was in an uproar.
Worthy!
Xingyi Hou took over a class.
Which prince is he?
Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen and Jin Xiaoyu felt a sinking feeling in their hearts and looked at each other.
The most respected person in the martial arts hall and the instructor’s favorite treasure are facing serious challenges!
