Xiao Houye's seven-year imperial examination and five-year road to Kaifeng[75]

It was very comfortable to go south by boat at first, but after a long time, it became boring. The scenery outside was almost the same, and the carriage could stop for a meal or something. This boat was different, unless it arrived at the port, Otherwise, you can only spend it on the boat.

Pang Yu sighed, luckily he was not on a sea boat, otherwise when he disembarked, he would probably be floating.

In his previous life, transportation was convenient, and he occasionally got motion sickness and seasickness, let alone this ancient time, that is, Zhao Jue's own boat, which could be so stable.

It is true that Zhao Jue will spend money, because Xiangyang City has relatively well-developed water conservancy, Zhao Jue did not waste a bit, and built a shipyard, mainly building brand new, faster and more stable ships.

Pang Yuyou provided the concept and some vague drawings, and then the top craftsmen in Xiangyang City began to use their brains, and it took four years to build several brand new ships.

No, they used it when they went south. In fact, Pang Yu also asked people to study the steam engine. It is still in the stable research and development stage. I believe that there will be results in the near future.

Or it can be used on sea-going ships. After all, their main purpose is to build sea-going ships. This time, they also intend to recruit craftsmen who build sea-going ships.

Compared with the previous ships that needed to be pulled, they don't need them now. When Zhao Jue did business with that territory and used water transport to transport goods, he found some problems. The main reason was cost loss. The ships were damaged quickly, so naturally there would be losses.

After research, the canal was improved and the transportation capacity was increased.

It is also possible for the government to make money. After all, no one will be troubled by money. Only when you have money can you fill the treasury. Think about the taxes his brother pays a year, which is enough to feed half of the people in the Song Dynasty.

This is only a few years since Zhao Jue started doing business, what about the future?

His business scope is still in the north, and Jiangnan has not been involved too much.

If Zhao Jue goes south to start a business, the merchants in Jiangnan will have a headache. Say that Zhao Jue is beneficial to the people, and he takes from the people and uses it for the people. The schools he runs are all free of charge. This is absolutely true. They are losing money, but no amount of money can buy them to cultivate talents for the imperial court.

Speaking of Zhao Jue’s school, the government also provided funds, and the court has been working hard to promote it. The ideal is to make the people of the Song Dynasty able to read and write.

Anyway, in Xiangyang City, there are five years of elementary school in Kaimeng, six years of middle school. After graduating from elementary school, they go to middle school, and then they are assigned to different classes according to their talents.

After all, there are so many colleges, and the imperial examination is not the only way. This gives the common people another choice. More people are willing to send their children to study. No matter whether they are talented or not, literacy is always good, and it doesn’t cost money. If you study well, you can still get money back home.

During the winter vacation every year, as long as they are among the top ten students in their studies, they can share ten catties of pork. No one cares that pork is not expensive, but no one is willing to cut so much meat at once.

The summer vacation is even more excessive, and the piglets that are ten catties can be taken home and raised.

The construction of Bianjing City has just been completed, and the school has just been completed. After all, there are many more people in Bianjing City than in Xiangyang City, and the difficulty is also greater. Many people are unwilling to let girls study. Jue's trick, if you don't educate the girls, you will be sent to the boys too.

Threatening the boy's education opportunities, those people will immediately compromise.

Even the threshold for girls to study has been lowered to 13 years old, as long as they are under 13 years old, they can study.

Many people couldn't figure out why this school would do this. It could be said that they could only bear with it and send their girls to the school.

It can be said that the treatment in the school is very good. There are men and women in the school, and all of them are called men, regardless of gender.

Two sets of clothes are distributed in one semester. As long as you wear them, you will know that you are a student of Bianjing Elementary or Middle School. If you study well, you will be rewarded just like Xiangyang City.

And they live on campus, and they can only go home after the end of one semester.

Boring on the boat, Pang Yu didn't want to read, so he played chess with Zhao Jue. No matter what kind of chess, Zhao Jue was very good at it. What could he do? Play backgammon!

Zhao Jue was helpless, but he still agreed to Pang Yu's backgammon and let him play for a while, otherwise the cub would be unhappy again.

Every time Pang Yu wins, he will smile very happily and be very embarrassed.

Zhao Jue couldn't help but think, as expected of the cub he raised, he just looks good, but let's grow up quickly.

"Huh? Did I get some snacks on my face?" Pang Yu couldn't help asking when Zhao Jue's eyes fell on his face.

"You still know?" Zhao Jue raised his hand naturally, and actually squeezed some debris off Pang Yu's face.

Immediately, Pang Yu felt embarrassed. He was such a big man, and he still ate food on his face. The problem is, he ate snacks before playing chess!

After playing more than a dozen games of chess, he only won a few, and finally this guy told him that he had something on his face?Are you sincerely watching his jokes! ?

Pang Yu glared at Zhao Jue angrily. In this world, only Pang Yu dared to do this. Even if the officials did this, Zhao Jue would probably be pissed off by Zhao Jue, let alone other people.

Pang Yu was the only one who could be so arrogant on Zhao Jue's head, so the people who served by his side were more careful, and there was absolutely no intention of being contemptuous towards Pang Yu.

Of course, Pang Yu was not contemptuous when he was young, but when he grows up, it is even more impossible. If others don't know, how can they not know Pang Yu's talent?

This Xiangyang city was built according to Mr. Pang Xiaolang, without real materials, how can there be such a good city?

What's more, there are still officials who have been eyeing him, if not for their lord's displeasure, Mr. Pang Xiaolang would have been an official long ago.

As it gets closer and closer, Mr. Pang Xiaolang may not be able to spend a few years at ease, and the officials can't wait.

No, their lord did not take the usual route, and ran away with Xiao Langjun in his arms. If he didn't return to Bianjing, how would he be allowed to participate in the imperial examination?

However, Zhao Jue hadn't been in a hurry for two days, and then he received a message that the official made a decree, nothing else, to seal Pang Yu as a child prodigy, and then he could take the imperial examination whenever he wanted.

If it wasn't for his own brother, he could go back and beat him up!

Knowing that he hated that kind of child prodigy champion, and disgusted him, he got a child prodigy for his cub. You must know that Pang Yu had mentioned it to him at the beginning, and the child prodigy champion was very strange.

Not to mention that Xiao Zai can't understand, even he doesn't think there is any use for a prodigy champion. A three-year-old or four-year-old kid can't even fart, so he can memorize some articles and memorize two poems to win the champion?

Those who have been admitted to Jinshi, why do they study so hard, why do they write articles.

In terms of fairness, it is very unequal.

What's more, those who were smart when they were young are not without the crowd when they grow up.

Anyway, in Zhao Jue's opinion, it's not a good omen, his brother's flamboyant operations are really too much.

It was probably because they were afraid that Zhao Jue would go back and criticize him, so the officials added a note that when Pang Yu went back, he could go to the Imperial College to go to school.

It's okay for Pang Yu to save two exams.

You must know that the ancient exams were not easy. Every exam, for those who were weaker, was a game of life.

I have to spend several days and nights in the examination room. In spring, it is easy to catch cold. In the north, where it is colder in autumn, it is not much better. If you are not lucky, you will be assigned to the toilet, and you will basically be useless.

Pang Yuguang couldn't accept it even if he thought about it. If he really couldn't, could he renovate the toilet in the examination room first?

In fact, it is very simple to prevent cheating. Everyone who enters the bath, uniformly distributes clothes, and the pen, ink and paper are all prepared by the court. How can you cheat?

They slipped in naked one by one, what kind of cheating paper wouldn't melt in the water?

To be able to cheat like this, I have to say, this is definitely a ruthless person.

The 14-year-old Pang Yu never thought about taking the imperial examination so early. He was originally free and at ease. To be admitted to the Jinshi, whether it is to be sent abroad or to be a small Hanlin in Beijing, it is quite uncomfortable for him.

His parents didn't force him to rely on a Jinshi to be a Dangdang. It is enough to have a Jinshi in the family, especially those like Pang Ji, who always feel that they owe their children. If it weren't for him, their children would not enter the palace. , I don’t see them a few times a year.

As the child grows up, he can already understand the difficulty of his parents, but the parents are unable to get over that hurdle.

Even after all these years, Pang Ji has been promoted repeatedly, and he is no longer a bully official in Beijing in the eyes of others.

When it comes to dealing with sons and daughters, I only want them to be safe and sound. After all, one is in the moody King Xiangyang, and the other is in the deep palace that cannibalizes people without blinking an eye.

If Zhao Jue knew that Pang Ji's thoughts were about to vomit blood, the cub would almost have jumped on top of him, and it would be impossible for him to take a wrong step.

Even when playing chess, this kid made a mistake, and just cheated, this stinky chess basket...

What can he do, the stinky chess basket that he is used to, he can only continue to get used to it.

What moodiness does not exist!

I don't know how the legend of Zhao Jue's moodiness spread. Pang Yu just thinks that the young man in their family has a good temper. Although he should be called a young man now, how can he be so moody with such a good temper.

At most, when I was young, I was more pissed off, the kind that pissed off the sky.

Pang Yu has really seen Zhao Jue's slander, after all, he would be killed by God if he exceeded five meters at that time, and he couldn't do without hugging his thigh.

There was no one that Zhao Jue couldn't hate, and he couldn't help but marvel at the young man's vocabulary.

In modern times, Pang Yu had never won a fight against others. Sure enough, it was the same in ancient times, nothing changed.

After taking a boat for a week, I finally docked at the shore. The main reason is that the inventory on the boat is running out, and I have prepared food for more than a week. The vegetables are fine. The biggest feature of this boat is that it can be grown on the boat. vegetable.

This is also a feature prepared for future sea ships, but meat is inconvenient. If you want to eat fresh meat, you still have to go to the shore to purchase it. Most of the ships are marinated meat such as sausages, and even And kimchi.

Housed in a transparent glass tank, these are glass products that have undergone countless improvements and will not break easily.

It is very easy to use for pickling kimchi, and you can clearly see the inside.

It can be seen that the things prepared on board, which seem to be absent, have a certain relationship with the future sea trip.

Modern people all know that without vitamin supplements, it is easy to get sepsis.
