Two years later, news came from the frontier that the Liao emperor had raised his troops to invade, and less than two months later, it was heard that the Liao soldiers had retreated.Their emperor was captured by a martial artist and had to agree to retreat, and made an oath not to offend the Song Dynasty for ten years.

Hearing the news, Hu Shen couldn't help but sigh.His favorite character in Tianlong is the hero Xiao Feng.I feel sad once for this real hero and great hero turned to dust.

In the past two years, he has also changed a lot.The first is that the hair has finally grown as long as the ancients, so there is no need to be unconventional.Secondly, not only did he move to live in Luoyang City, but he also became a teacher, teaching a few children from ordinary families to read, and of course he did not give up the work of copying books.It's just because he has become acquainted with shopkeeper Tong, and his handwriting has become better and better. Now he is mostly copying rare books.Therefore, in addition to the rent, food and clothing, I can still have half of the money left every month.

At that time, he lived in Baima Temple for half a year, and he was introduced by shopkeeper Tong to rent a small yard in an alley only two streets away from the bookstore.

Because he knows that Xu Zhu is the illegitimate son of Shaolin abbot and Ye Erniang, he is really afraid that someone will find him.Although he is a little ashamed of the original owner, he is not the real Xu Zhu after all, and he doesn't want to get involved in those grievances and grievances.

Now even Xiao Feng, the male protagonist in Tianlong, is dead, probably Xu Zhu's parents have also gone. Although it shouldn't be, I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally I don't have to worry about it anymore.

After lamenting these, he continued his life of copying books and teaching children.

After another three years, Hu Shen also saved some money.In the past three years, Ben also wanted to accept the enthusiasm of the neighbors and get a wife.But Xu Zhu's appearance is really unsatisfactory, moreover he doesn't even have a house, he rents it so far.So the ones introduced to him were either stupid and ugly, or not very good-natured.In the end, he was also bored, and gave up his plan to get married in this world.No matter how hard he tries, he is still a bit out of harmony with the world, not to mention that he has received 20 years of modern education.As long as his life is not threatened, he doesn't want to wrong himself.

He decided to leave Luoyang.Anyway, after a few years, I got tired of looking at peonies, and I got tired of visiting Longmen Grottoes.After simply packing up some gold and silver, and distributing some inconvenient ones to friends and neighbors, he left quickly.This time I decided to go to the capital Kaifeng.

After a few days of driving, I arrived in Kaifeng in a hurry.First I searched for a house and found that it was more than three times more expensive than Luoyang.sweat!It is not easy to live in the capital at all times and in all over the world!The days that followed really surprised Hu Shen.No wonder it is often said that there is no China after Yashan.If in Luoyang, he could only say that the people of the Song Dynasty were elegant, then now he would feel that it was really wonderful.

Not to mention that ordinary people are very well-bred and well-behaved.All kinds of customs are really meaningful and interesting.Besides, there are public bathrooms everywhere and the office specialized in sanitation, not to mention the excitement of the night market, where there are all kinds of snacks, juggling, and operas, which make him dizzy.I have to sigh that the lives of the people in the Song Dynasty were no less than those of modern people, and they were more interesting.

In addition to being weaker in the military, the Song people really reached a peak culturally and economically, surpassing Tang.After the Song Dynasty, the Ming and Qing Dynasties cannot be compared at all.The prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong was purely because the Manchus put gold on their faces, and they were barely passable in military affairs. In terms of culture and governance, they were even far behind the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Song Dynasty.The urbanization rate in the Song Dynasty was 30.00%, which was not caught up until the modern 90s after the Song Dynasty.In the Qing Dynasty, it fell to [-]%.

Alas, a bit off topic.In short, Hu Shen was intoxicated in this kind of life, eating, drinking and having fun in the streets and alleys every day, and he was a little bit too happy to think about it.It's just that extreme joy begets sorrow, and soon the money will be ashamed.I had no choice but to accept my plan to make money.

Just as he was thinking about copying books in his old business, he saw a notice for recruiting documents at the gate of Wucheng Bingmasi's yamen.He inquired with others, and it turned out that in the Song Dynasty, the culture was noble and the military was cheap, and ordinary scholars with high reputations would disdain to do this kind of errand.Among the common people, those who can read and write are from good families, and they are not willing to do this kind of work where the money is low and they are not serious errands in the government office and cannot be promoted.

Hu Shen thought, anyway, writing to make money, is it different where you write?After thinking about it, I went to apply for the position of this clerical.Things went very smoothly, and someone immediately went through the entry procedures for him, and he was on the job the next day.

After staying in the Yasi for a few months, Hu Shen couldn't help but sigh that the best civil servant treatment is good!In addition to the usual salary, there are so many subsidies.And there is extra money.Although he is only a small employee, but he eats meat, and these little devils can still drink some soup.It is quite understandable to think of the modern civil service examination teams that are getting more and more spectacular every year.

In fact, he knew not long after he stayed in the military department, that it was not true that there were no poorer scholars to take up the job.It's just that the scholars in ancient times were too gentle, and they couldn't adapt to the brutality of Si Zhongbing when they came here.Civil servants and military generals have always disliked each other, so not many can stay here.He didn't feel anything, except that he had a loud voice, behaved rudely, spoke obscenely, didn't pay attention to the situation, and occasionally accepted small bribes.He is used to seeing those urban management in modern times, so it doesn't matter to him at all.As a result, Hu Shen was really at ease in the army and horse division.The work is easy, and he often writes letters for the soldiers, so he is very popular.When I am free, I go to have a drink with my colleagues, go for a walk outside the city, or go to the royal temple Xiangguo Temple to offer incense and listen to Zen.
