Dragon Cub's Bizarre Adventure

It was replaced by a brand-new feudal class group force, the "Xiangdang" formed by schools and academies, and even by fellow villagers, the same year, and classmates. To be honest, in the feudal era, this was also an improvement, monopolized by blood. Power shifts towards interest groups with common political demands and political geography.

If it is placed 1000 years later, this kind of township party and gentry group is undoubtedly a burden that hinders social development, and even a stumbling block that must be eradicated, but in the Tang Dynasty, this was a relatively progressive and advanced group.

This means that, for the first time, national interests, or more precisely a small part of national interests, began to override the interests of individual families. In order to ensure that there are enough people in the local area to become officials, it is necessary to invest heavily in local construction and education. Build a new academy to ensure that there are enough new blood to maintain the long-term existence of such an interest group.

Of course, these improvements have nothing to do with the general leaders of Guizhou, and their lives have even become worse. However, for those small landlords and poor families, it is a world-changing improvement.

"We are all brothers, how could I pigeonhole you?" A large number of humble scholars said

Then, when the aristocratic family came back to their senses, they found that they were all googling. By the time the aristocratic family realized that something was wrong, it was already too late.

Qujiang, after Jinshi and the first degree, often held banquets in Qujiangfang, which was also the largest catering core area in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. One after another exquisite houses.

It can be said that Japan’s restaurant politics and Akasaka were copied from this place, and since most of the new scholars would come to Qujiang for feasts and entertainment, those dignitaries who were eager to seek Zhijian Temple and new blood in the court would also Let's play together here, but most of the people who have a banquet in Qujiang this time are scholars from other places, and there are few high-ranking officials in the court.

However, just when a group of scholars were discussing poetry and songs, and they were in high spirits, they saw a puff of smoke rising by the pool, "The flames of the 0-0 factory were blazing, and a large piece of pork skin was slowly rotating on the grill. With that, a strong fragrance is emitted, as for the thing that burns fire...

"Where did this little boy come from? It's like burning a harp and boiling a crane!" The high-quality fragrant wood was burning, and beside it was a big fat pig that had been dismembered, waiting to be further processed.

The seasoning mixed with pepper, benzo fennel (cumin), and blue and white pool salt is sprinkled on the pork skin in a very exaggerated gesture, and quickly melts with the fat. The sound of "rotating roasted pork skin" was delivered to the mouth.

The thick pigskin and subcutaneous fat are roasted under good heat control, the fat is completely penetrated, and the pigskin is almost fried once, showing a foamy texture.

"Crack!" ">?<" full of oily aroma, crisp and refreshing, full and rich gravy

, the taste of spices and charcoal blooms on the tip of the tongue, it can be said that the skin is crispy and the meat is crispy, it melts in the mouth, and the makeup is just right! "

"This pork is low and dirty, how can it have such a smell?"

However, pork, which everyone thinks is cheap and unpalatable, turned pale with shock.

The pork at this time has not been castrated, which makes it smelly and unbearable. In addition, most of the pigs are raised under the toilets and feed on feces. There are many parasites. It is no different from the rice pork of later generations. Although the Tang Dynasty People don't know about microorganisms and parasites, but they like to eat raw meat (chicken). They have died of parasitic diseases, so they naturally know that pork is cheap and dirty and cannot be eaten. (PS: This is also the reason why Lulu doesn’t eat pork)

"0? 0?" I don't know what these two-legged beasts are surprised at, but this big black pig is really delicious, no smell, no parasites, oily and thick, if it is replaced by humans , may feel slightly greasy.

"0? 0, sniff?" There was no strange smell of blood. From the looks of it, these two-legged beasts were real two-legged beasts. It was simply too much for a fat man to pretend to be a two-legged beast to deceive 0v0.

However, these strange meats that can be disguised as two-legged beasts look delicious, but unfortunately, there are not many of them, and the smell of two-legged beasts is too much and too mixed, which seriously disturbs OvO's foraging process.

Somewhere in an inn, "Where is Yinheitan?" Crazy, actually allowing monsters to enter the court to serve as officials. Not many of those Qingxiu wild immortals came, but there were many monsters who wanted to take the opportunity to sneak in and eat some blood food, and even became officials to eat blood food.

It doesn’t matter even if you don’t pass the exam, after all, under normal circumstances, there are many demon town masters and outsiders from various sects in places like Chang’an. It is too difficult for monsters to get in, and once they are discovered, there is only a dead end. One, and the old emperor allowed the monster to come to the exam, which is tantamount to letting go of the line of defense.

No one knows whether the monster in front of you is here to take the exam or to eat people. If you take a step back, even if you have blood on your body, it doesn't mean that it is not ready to reform?

The town demon division has no way to control or stop them, allowing these monsters to sneak into the city, but

The strange thing is, I don't know why, I was already mentally prepared to carry out several wreckages every day, but the actual number of casualties was far less than what Jing Zhaoyin and Zhen Yaosi expected

O

It is even more ideal than the number of deaths and injuries caused by the fights caused by groups of non-local scholars coming to take the exam. This strange phenomenon can only be attributed to the fact that there are other monks hiding among these scholars.

At night, Mr. Yinmian Heilang hadn't come back yet, and now the monster brothers who went to Beijing together to find some blood food began to feel a little uneasy. I couldn't stop, I slammed the door and went out. Although the curfew has closed the gate, it has no effect on Kan Jin who lives in Huofangtong.

During the curfew, there were no people on the street except Marquis Wu who patrolled the streets. Since it is true that people from other places were also allowed to enter the court this time, the monsters did not dare to go too far and attack those Marquis Wu, mixing in the crowd and those serious Among the wild immortals, it's not easy to be caught and chopped by the town demon division, but it would be too much to really attack Marquis Wu.

However, even a city like Chang'an has slums and places where it doesn't matter if a few people are missing, such as Datongfang and other places.

"Hey, hey?" In the dark night, the sound of flesh and bones being chewed and broken could be clearly heard, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The surrounding residents locked their doors in horror. Kan Jin sniffed, and the air was full of The smell of human blood and blood rich in aura, it seems that there are monks who would be poisoned.

Niusla! "The sound of the skin being violently torn off the bone, and the wet sound full of blood, made Kan Jin lick his lips. It must be a tempting sight

O

"I don't know if this brother is willing to let me have a bite too? But, it won't invade his foraging area?" Kan Jin thought for a while, "Whatever it is, there are so many people in this city, there is no need Don't worry, don't you all take the opportunity to have a good meal?

So Kan Jin carelessly walked into the blood-filled courtyard. To ordinary people, the dark, blood-filled house and the broken gate would frighten them inexplicably, but for a monster like Kan Jin For me, this place is as familiar and familiar as returning home.

"Brother, what are you going to eat?" In the lobby, there were corpses strewn all over the place. It seemed to be a family of four. However, even the most delicate little girl was only roughly chewed twice. "This is too wasteful."

In the main hall, a squat and squat thing was squatting on the ground and devouring something, and the sound of flesh and blood being torn was heard continuously. eating scene.

The black figure shuddered violently, then slowly turned its head, a scarlet pupil stared at Kan Jin on a blood-stained face, with a golden vertical line in the center of the scarlet iris, completely alien.

This made Kan Jin let go of his last worry a little bit. It seems that it is not some kind of fishing law enforcement, and they are all his own people. Looking at the eyes, it seems to be some kind of snake?Although the natural world is a natural enemy, but in the world of monsters, they are regarded as a family, and they all belong to the genus of five immortals.

Then the eyes turned back again, and after a while, Humpty Humpty stood up and turned his head. The other eye was warm amber, looking at Kan Jin curiously, holding a leftover food in his hand.

For monsters with night vision ability, I can see clearly that it is a sharp claw covered with black hair, which has been eaten by some monster-like monster for more than half. The smell of blood mixed together O

Then Kan Jin saw that the bite marks on the corpse were completely different from the stump. The bite marks on the corpse were typical canine bite marks. The bite marks on the stump were even more terrifying results. The symmetrical blood holes and scars that seemed to have been sawed by a knife rolled over the flesh, which made people feel nervous.

With the vigilance and intelligence of the gray fairy, he immediately imagined what happened, probably because a wolf demon couldn't resist the temptation of the city's popularity, and directly broke into the house and killed the family of four.

He ate the most tender child first, but before he had even eaten two bites, something even more terrifying rushed in and killed the wolf monster, and he started eating on the spot. A hunter with a slingshot?

no!Kan Jin showed a flattering smile, "Brother, eat well, don't bother me, let's go!" After speaking, he turned his head and ran away, and the blood-stained photos scattered in the darkness, and suddenly the Those strange-colored eyes became sharper.

Kan Jin has already stepped out of the courtyard gate, the moon has come out, and the streets under the silver light are extremely cold.

"No, no, let the little one go!" Kan Jin felt something coming towards him, crying and begging for mercy.

Begging for mercy was useless, a cyan thing rolled up like a tentacle, and dragged Kan Jin into the yard. The big mouse that had already transformed into a prototype left bloody scratches on the ground, and was dragged into the yard abruptly. Without even screaming, there was only the sound of tearing and flesh being crushed by something.

The streets and alleys are even more dead silent, even the cries and breathing sounds of children seem to have disappeared, and the moon gradually disappears behind the clouds. In the darkness and silence, there are only the sounds of sticky and moist flesh being torn apart and the sounds of getting bigger and bigger. A strong bloody smell permeated the air.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"The list is released!" There are a lot of people in front of the imperial list. Although there are many people who refer to it, the quality is generally not very good. Most of them are purely to try their luck. There are about 400 candidates at a time, which is three times the usual number. a little more.

After all, there are more than half of the imperial court internally, and there is an urgent need for new officials to fill them. Of course, scholars who pass the scientific examination are usually not immediately assigned to official positions, even if they are county magistrates, it is not so easy.

Usually they go to positions such as county lieutenant, county chief bookkeeper, etc. There is no such thing as a champion at the moment, there are only two results of passing the exam and not passing the exam, and after these people fill the place, the same goes for the local officials. Just take advantage of the trend and go up.

Since there is no imperial examination, there is no need to expect the emperor to really read your test papers, and then feel that you have written well, and reward you with a high-ranking official to do it. Basically, the prototypes of various routines in the novels in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were formed at this time. It doesn't exist at all.

"I've won!" Li Bai shouted, looking up to the sky and laughing away. His name was impressively listed on the imperial list, although it was to compromise to a certain extent. On the list, it is completely different from those noble-born scholars who are placed on the top list.

Although there is no such thing as the number one scholar, the three-bang system has already taken shape. Simply put, in all examinations, there is always a ranking order. The third list is the last list. , At this time, all Jinshi subjects are Jinshi and rank, there is no such distinction, and the difference will only appear when the imperial examination system is continuously improved and improved in subsequent generations.

The reason why there is no difference is also mentioned earlier. There is no rural examination this year, and candidates cannot pass the first-level examination to obtain admission qualifications. Moreover, books are also an extremely valuable asset at this time, so the reference is at least a person born in a noble family. .

Not to mention that all those who can really pass the exam have real materials. This is not the Ming and Qing dynasties. There are government schools all over the place. To learn this level, it is necessary to have a few who are willing to lend you books. Friends, you have a lot of contacts or you are born noble.

Since they are all nobles, there is no such thing as grassroots jumping over the dragon's gate. If they are all distinguished, who are you going to insult?Therefore, the compromise made is to be placed at the bottom of the list. If the emperor does not interfere, then according to the arrangement of the Ministry of Officials, these three list personnel will go to the local county lieutenant (public security bureau chief) and county chief book (financial secretary) as mentioned earlier. ) and other positions.

And the second list is the normal level of Jinshi, who go to local grassroots positions that are really lacking in county magistrates. There are also individual nobles who will be assigned to noble positions such as Hanlin, and then wait for important positions in the imperial court to fill in.

In the end, the top ten are waiting for the official department to see where there are more important and lucrative positions in the court to arrange for you. Usually, this position is also exclusive to the children of the aristocratic families.

But this time is a bit different, this time there are too many members in the imperial court, not to mention the Jinshi department, even the Xiucai department can get an official job. , and the chances of becoming an official are not that high.

"How about brother Zimei?"

"Last list" Du Fu smiled wryly, "However, it is worth celebrating.

JJ

"That's right, we can only wait for the appointment of the Ministry of Officials." People like Li Bai only knew that the imperial court had a lot of recruits this time, but he didn't know how many people were missing.

"Bring me the examination papers of the Wanxiang Sword Sect and the alien origin." The emperor stretched out his hand and said, Gao Lishi on the side had already prepared, as a person who can become a general in the eunuch business, he is not simply good at serving People's jesters have basic government affairs ability and analytical ability.

He marked these test papers from the very beginning, without giving the chief examiner a chance to review the papers, he took them in his hand and waited for the emperor to ask questions.

"Saints, everything is ready." A stack of test papers is placed on the desk. These have been preliminarily screened, and they are indeed barely able to reach the bottom line of "Jinshi". Human spirits naturally know what to do.

Although it is not possible to let all cats and dogs pass, as long as they reach the average bottom line, they can be let go. As for the others, they should be put in the back row one by one, and they will wait three years if they fail the exam.

"These are not bad, please write down your name and let the official department arrange it." Li Longji still has a basic level of literature, and he picked out a few outstanding test papers at a glance, "Others?" ..." It's a bit bad, although it is up to the standard, it's just up to the standard, "Just tell the official department."

"The old slave knows." Gao Lishi didn't ask anything, glanced at the test paper and left. It seems that the saint is preparing to support a new force to fight against the Donggong who is showing signs of rising?

"Master of Huayin County, hey, brother Zimei's literary talent is as good as mine, but..."

"Brother Taibai doesn't have to be like this. Huayin is also a big county, so it's not bad to be the master book." Strictly speaking, the official department didn't make things difficult for these people after being greeted, and they all arranged good positions for them. For a scholar who has been an official for thousands of miles only for money, this is indeed a lucrative and good position.

But for a person who wants to do something for the country, this position is a bit embarrassing. The population is large and the market is still prosperous. What achievements.

"Holding the sky with one hand is a heroic spirit, but what are the people doing? If the world can be so stable and live and work in peace and contentment, what's the point if we die in the mountains?" Du Fu comforted.

The same is true for the curse, but I don't have such a good thing. "Li Bai showed his appointment, Hexi Road Jiedu Sima, this is a very strange appointment, because Sima is an old-age official with no actual position. In the Tang Dynasty, the prefectures, emperors, and governments all had the official position of Sima. In Biejia and Changshi Below, for example, Bai Juyi's Jiangzhou Sima.

It is equivalent to a modern consultant and secretary, but it is also a military position. Of course, it was extremely common for civilian officials to serve as military positions in the Tang Dynasty. Inside.

To put it simply, it means that in theory they can control everything, such as Zheng Yu, but in practice they cannot control anything, such as Bai Juyi, who is demoted for the elderly. Of course, Li Bai is obviously not demoted.

Because Hexi Dao is a "Dao" and does not belong to the formal division of the Fifteen Daoes in the world. In the second year of Jingyun, it was separated from Longyou Dao due to inconvenient management. To put it bluntly, it was the frontline logistics for the Tibetan Empire on the plateau in the Tang Dynasty. The base is a road of military and surveillance nature.

Gao Xianzhi and other generals are used to monitor and restrict Longyou Road. After all, this position is stuck in their back road, and they are in charge of their logistics and transportation.

And the four counties in Hexi all have governors. In other words, if Li Bai was assigned the position of Sima in any of the four counties in Hexi, Du Fu would have to say a few words of comfort—he passed the exam and sent him to the elderly. It's like being transferred to the Party History Office after the civil service exam.

However, Jiedu Shifu and as a Dao do not have the position of Sima. If you have to add it, then you have to be Da Sima.

■

Therefore, this resignation to fate is confusing. The two of them thought together for a long time and even wondered if the official department made a mistake. How can there be such an official position? Everyone is a secretary (secretary) officer. Why are you so outstanding? What should the local government and colleagues do to greet each other?

It stands to reason that Sima is a small official position, not in charge of substantive affairs

, but if the governor is absent or is led by the prince, the superior Zuo can take charge of state affairs, but under normal circumstances, the position of governor cannot be absent, and if the prince takes it on his behalf, you are a scapegoat—why does Bai Juyi feel that he is is the reason for being dismissed.

However, the Jiedushi is different. Whether it is An Sishun or Li Guangbi, these two are generals who fight. The war is not good, and they may go to war at any time. Official position replacement, but at this time, such a position is forced in, thinking that he needs to use the position of a small official to compete with other five-rank and above bosses for the power to replace Ban Jiedushi?

Li Bai already felt a gleaming golden hat with the words "Back the Pot Man" on his head was slowly lowering. Yes, a small official, when something happened, he just pushed it out and chopped it down to make the people angry, and It's still a related household who was lucky enough to enter the new department this year, no background, no connections, it doesn't matter, if you don't cheat who?

The emperor didn't think so. He was humble but had great power. He had the ability to lead Jiedushi, and he could put it in a certain county for retirement at any time after it was used up. It was perfect when it was used up. !

Don't worry about becoming bigger, and it can be hung on the heads of those Jiedu envoys as a shining sword. Not only Li Bai, but almost all the people who came out of Wanxiang Xianshan have such an arrangement, and their force has become this excellent weapon. footnotes.

Even the emperor wished that they would quarrel for power, and then the Jiedushi could only rely on the emperor to mediate, otherwise?Are you going to be singled out with these human sword immortals?

In this way, the four of money, power, fame and power will be separated smoothly, and the imperial power will be consolidated. As for this kind of weird official position arrangement, who makes him the emperor?

Nothing to do, An Sishun can only use those Sogdians to cut off their ears to make trouble, and replace them with ordinary cowardly civil servants. They really dare not jump into this pit of fire, but these reckless people who come out of Wanxiang Xianshan are o... …

On the other hand, this kind of shit-stirring stick like Pashao, Jiedushi has a way to make the other party disappear first

This time it will not be so easy. What happened to Li Xiangling and Li Zao has been spread for a long time. If you really dare to exterminate your clan, men, women, old and children, even the dogs raised in the tribe will not be spared.

"Uncle, stop beating, uncle!"

"Look what kind of idea you have!" An Sishun put down the belt in his hand, pulled out a decorative spear, and turned the spear to continue beating, "This is a disaster! Who told you to let those Sogdians make trouble? "
