Xinshun 1730

Chapter 142 Dawn
The same message has different attitudes to different people.

Some are dismissive, and naturally some are ecstatic.

The notices were posted in Liangjiazi Village Clubs in the Gyeonggi area, and many people were eager to move.

The Jinghai Palace Official School will be opened soon, anyone with honors below, or with a school education, can sign up.

During the internship, the monthly silver is five taels, and if married, another thirty catties of rice will be paid.

If you can become a full-time employee, you will receive eight taels of silver per month, and fifty catties of rice for family affairs.

After one year of internship, you can take your wife to live nearby and provide a barracks.

The official errands after becoming a regular have different monthly silver, which is outside of eight taels.

I didn't write any more treatment, but this kind of treatment is enough to make some people tempted.After becoming a regular, the monthly silver is eight taels!What is that concept?
Many students who missed the Martial Virtue Palace have been depressed since the end of the exam.A good opportunity was missed, but never again.

The best way out is to go to the camps of various villages as a teacher.If the strength is stronger, they may be able to teach in the inner house. The upper house teachers in each mansion are those who have not been admitted to the upper house in the Wude Palace, so they can't do it.

Although joining the army can make meritorious service, it is also easy to die.If you can be a teacher, you can guarantee the status of the son of a good family, which is indeed a good choice.

However, going to the Jinghai Palace official school can also guarantee the status of the son of a good family.In this way, the temptation of eight taels of silver per month after becoming a regular is extremely great.

These people may have never seen the sea in their entire lives. Thinking about how Dashun can regard the virtue of water as blue, one can imagine how these old five camp children could have seen the sea?

When Chen Qinghai saw this post, he thought of Liu Yu's words that told him to pay attention to the post, and he felt as if he was scratching his itch.

Although some lost in the fantasy of "others cheating and learning by oneself" has not come true, but this can be regarded as an excellent way out.

After writing down the news of the announcement, he ran back home in a hurry, and told about the matter, only that he was going to take the official school entrance examination in Jinghai Palace.

The old father who lost his hand frowned and said, "Is it reliable?"

"Father, what is this? Official list, official list, is this unreliable?"

"It's not this. Think about it. Internship costs five taels of silver a month. Even if you choose the Boyer Army, how many taels a month? The month when your father and I were paid the most in the army was the time when we were arranged to go up first and lose our hands. The imperial court’s money is not brought by strong winds, the more you give, the more dangerous it will be, do you understand?”

Chen Qinghai let out a hey and said, "Father, why are you living longer and getting back? The courage of the first step back then, now only worry is left."

The old father touched his severed hand subconsciously, thinking of his eldest son who died in Nenjiang, he thought to himself, son, son, you haven't become a father yet.You will understand when you become a father and see the compensation for your son's death in battle.

Is the court's money so easy to get?

Especially for a good family, every penny is worth a drop of blood.

If you give two taels, it will let you practice; if you give three taels, you will be in the front row;

If you get ten taels and 20 taels...you don't have to think about coming back alive, it's the best policy to arrange things at home before you go.

Now I was given five taels all at once, and it was raised to eight taels after becoming a regular. If you weigh it with your hands, you know that the danger is no less than breaking the city first.

"Forget it, if you go, then go. You should discuss this matter with your wife. You just ran so far after getting married..."

"Yes."

Seeing that his father did not object stubbornly, Chen Qinghai thought about it for a while, and after eating and cooking in the evening, when he was tired of crookedness, he brought up this matter.

He was shrewd and said something else first.

"After a year of internship, the family members can go with them. Isn't it good to arrange a house next to the camp? If you have a baby in the future, you will still have the status of a good family. What do you think?"

Not long after getting married, it is the time when honey is mixed with oil. At this time, when it comes to money, it is far less important than getting together and parting.

But the wife shyly put her head into her arms, looked at the layout of the old and young houses, thought that there was a wall across the wall after marriage, and there were two underage uncles next door, and she really didn't dare to call at that time at night, so she went Asked the most concerned words.

"Is it a separate house?"

After asking, her face turned even redder, and she buried herself in her chest, not daring to show her head.

Chen Qinghai laughed and said: "Should be? Even if not, they are all young people. You can call them as well. What are you afraid of? Besides, even if they are not, [-] taels a month after becoming a regular is not enough to buy a new one?"

"Screw you!"

The two wrestled happily, and then became interested again. Thinking that the wall was not thick, they had no choice but to lower their voices under the quilt.

When we came together the next day, Chen Qinghai rubbed the imprint on his shoulders, his wife found a scarf to cover the red mark on her neck, gave him a blank look, and then twisted her legs to do the housework in the morning. The husband packed up the dry food for the camp school exam in Baoding Prefecture.

As soon as December 20th arrived, the dormitory of the camp school in Baoding Prefecture was temporarily turned into an examination room.

As soon as the rules were said, all the people who took the test were stunned.

Just one paper.

There is no examination of bow and horse, no examination of marksmanship, no examination of infantry, no examination of policy theory, and no examination of silent scriptures.

Four hours of answering time.

There are various questions on the paper, including arithmetic, geometry, measurement applications, common sense of astronomy, and a few strange application questions to test comprehension.

For example, the penultimate question:

It is known that there are twelve hours in a day, it is known that the circle of the earth is [-] miles, it is known that the earth rotates from west to east, it is eight o'clock in the capital city, but it is only six o'clock in a certain place, regardless of the fact that the earth is a ball, it can be considered flat, ask this place How far is it from Beijing?

If it is considered a ball, it should be the subject of the Wude Palace Shangshe exam, and it must be regarded as a difficult problem.

But if you don't consider it as a ball, it's just a simple Pythagorean number, mainly to test the candidates' understanding and logic.

After Chen Qinghai finished answering this question, his heart beat wildly when he saw the last two questions.

He had never seen these two questions before.

It's hard.

But after thinking about it for about a quarter of an hour, I suddenly thought of something.

When those mysterious people from the capital asked him a few months ago.At that time, he felt that the paper was difficult. If he was given a few hours, he might have an idea.

Before leaving, the mysterious adult also explained to him the idea of ​​explaining the body.

These two questions are completely different from the questions of the day.But if you think about it carefully, you can think of it.

This is not an imperial examination, where the passages to be intercepted by the stereotyped essays are leaked in advance, or the content to be tested in the policy theory.In theory, this is of course not a leak.Today, I will take the three-strand four-string five-string test, and tomorrow I will test the six-strand eight-string ten-string test. Of course, this is not considered venting.

Can……

Chen Qinghai had already confirmed in his heart that the person that day was Liu Yu, and now he also knew that Liu Yu was the one who presided over the Jinghai Palace Official School, so he thought: "My lord's kindness, I will never forget it."

What he didn't know was that there were still 30 people with such thoughts in the examination rooms of various prefectures in Gyeonggi at this time.

I only thought that this kindness was written down at this time, but this matter is closely related to my own destiny. I must not say it out, as long as I remember the kindness of others, I will repay it in the future.

Besides his similar thoughts, there are others.

Some people may think: Mr. not only gave me the status of a beloved, but also gave me the opportunity to study, Yonomi, Yonomi, how should I repay this friendship?
Some people may think: Mr. Liu has pointed out the way as early as in Heilongjiang, and he asked me to prepare early. If you follow Mr. Liu in the future, you will definitely not suffer.

…………

In the palace, Liu Yu, Bering, Sven, Chelikov and others stood aside, waiting for the emperor to ask questions.

In the new memorial to the emperor, Liu Yu wanted to express a meaning.

Training the new army and establishing the Jinghai Palace official school are only the first steps of the Long March, and there is still a long way to go.

However, the first step of the Long March is not an allusion that can be explained clearly in Dashun.

So Liu Yu used another set of similar rhetoric, saying that just like the post station being built in Khalkha Mongolia today, in order to conquer Junggar, building a post station is only the first step, and the follow-up road is still long.

The training of the new army is only the first post of this long preparation, to show the difficulty of change.

This is the consent sentence for the first step of the Long March.

This metaphor does not use allusions, but uses a major military and political event that is going on in northern Xinjiang at this time.

Liu Yu chose Liugong Island as the barracks for training the new army, and his surname was Liu. As early as the Longqing period of the previous dynasty, the name "Liugong Island" was listed in official memorials.

Liu Yu dared not use the name "Liu Gong" if he wanted to build a barracks there and form a new army... because his surname was Liu, and it was still too early to be called Liu Gong.

So please ask the emperor to write another name for the camp.

The name of the army is Qingzhou, but the army must have a barracks, and it can't be called Liu Gongying. It sounds like Liu Yu is running a private army.

Li Gan thought so deeply.

He also savored Liu Yu's words that "the training of the new army is only the first station of this long preparation".

After thinking for a long time, the imperial pen picked it up and wrote two words on a large piece of paper.

"In the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yafu's battalion was stationed in Bashang, and there were willows on the shore, so there was a name for the battalion. Now that you want to train troops and place it on Liugong Island, you can't call it Liu Gongying, otherwise it will appear that you love Qing with arrogance. This Liu Since Gongdao is already famous, it is inconvenient to change it.”

"Since it's your words: the formation and training of the new army is just the first post station in this long preparation...the barracks are called the small station, how about it?"

Liu Yu swallowed quietly, thinking well, Qingzhou Army and Xiaozhanying, this time it's all over.

You came up with this name yourself, and it has nothing to do with me.

The word "Xiaozhan" mentioned by the imperial pen was handed over to Liu Yu, Liu Yu thanked him and took it, and the emperor wrote something again.

The Luocha expedition ship captured by Liu Yu that day will now be the first training ship of the Jinghai Palace official academy.

The original name of this ship was "St. Peter", and since it had been captured, the name of the ship would naturally have to be changed.

The emperor mentioned the name of the ship in person, which is also an attitude, showing the importance he attaches to the navy and the official school of Jinghai Palace.

After all, this is the first Western ship to be listed. Although it is only an expedition ship, it is also the first one.

Thinking that Liugong Island is located at the easternmost tip of the Shandong Peninsula, which is the place where the dawn was first seen.

The opening of the Jinghai Palace and the construction of the Navy are also unprecedented.

Liu Yu also said that in the future when Junggar is pacified, the only thing that can cause chaos and smoothness is the power in the direction of the East China Sea, just like Shuofang in Han Dynasty.

Dashun compared himself with Li and Tang, and he thought of the majestic and heroic spirit of the Tang Dynasty when Shuofang Jiedu was first set up. Go to Dingcheng with Xuanxuan. The dawn shakes the armor, and the clouds blow around. It can be bestowed upon Qing."

"When the navy is first established, it should be a good omen. This ship is named 'Dawn', which means both auspicious and auspicious."

Speaking of this, Li Gan's interest also rose, and he asked Bering and others: "How do you say the word dawn in Western dialect?"

Bering, who is Danish, blurted out, "Aurora."

And Cherikov said a word in tongue-twisting Russian.

Li Gan knew some Latin, and had heard some of the "immoral" myths in Greece and Rome. He had heard of Aurora, but he didn't know how to say it in Russian.

Chelikov's Russian tongue was also heavy, and he couldn't hear clearly for a while.

At this time, he was full of ambition and in a good mood, so he asked Liu Yu: "What did the Rakshasa people say? How should I pronounce it?"

Liu Yu took a deep breath and read the Russian word aloud.

"Aurora."

"Aurora is the dawn. The dawn is Aurora."
