Qian Song

Chapter 202 Li Cun: Li Qingzhao, you are so courageous (please ask for a monthly ticket!)
...

As soon as he arrived at Baigouhe, Li Qingzhao found that his painting style had changed.

This place is no longer like what they passed by before, there are hungry people everywhere, and there are disaster victims everywhere.

There are no more hungry people here, no more messy victims, but densely packed with thousands of tents, inside the tents are lit hot braziers, and some tents still have a strong smell of porridge or medicine. Occasionally there are people queuing outside, but they are usually invited to the account quickly.

Everything seemed so orderly and peaceful.

Although there was still a long distance to the Baigou River, Zhen Wuchen, who was sent by Guo Yaoshi to escort Qin Hui and Li Qingzhao, stopped.

Zhen Wuchen said to Qin Hui: "Mr. Qin, further ahead is the defense zone of the Gan army. If it is inconvenient for our army to go there, I will send it away."

Qin Hui frowned and said, "When did the south bank of the Baigou River become a big gang?"

Zhen Wuchen said truthfully: "The south bank is not Dagan, but a large number of Hebei people have recently gone to Yandi. In order to prevent chaos, Dagan spread porridge stations and clinics on the south bank of the Baigou River to resettle refugees first, and then serve the people. Its registration, there is no diversion, and this big move is actually to save the people for my Great Song, how can my Great Song not even give it this little convenience?"

When Qin Hui heard this, he frowned: "Save the people for the Song Dynasty? This move is clearly plundering the population of the Song Dynasty, why no one cares about it?"

Zhen Wuchen originally respected Qin Hui as a scholar, thinking that a scholar should be reasonable.

But now, as soon as Zhen Wuchen heard Qin Hui say such stupid words, his donkey temper suddenly came up, and he said angrily: "Who cares, how to manage, put these people who can't eat in the Song Dynasty to die, and cut people off." The way to survive? If it is like this, everyone will be forced to rebel. What are we talking about to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and suppress the rebellion every day? Find a way out."

"Harvest others to benefit yourself?"

"Everyone who fled to Yandi may become your enemy in the future, the enemy who will kill you!"

After all, Qin Hui didn't discuss these matters with Qiu Ba in depth. He just followed the curious Li Qingzhao and walked towards Baigou River with a heavy expression on his face.

As soon as the group of people approached the Baigou River, a man who looked like a small official greeted him: "You all want to go to my Dagan to settle down?"

——Looking at the attire of Li Qingzhao and his party, they don't look like people who can't eat well, that's why the little official asked this question.

Li Qingzhao became playful, and said casually, "Not bad."

Hearing the news, the little official distributed a piece of rice paper to each of Li Qingzhao and his party, and said to Li Qingzhao and them: "You can go to get a wooden sign and line up first, and then you can go to the porridge shed to get porridge to drink, or go to the clinic shed to ask for help." The doctor is waiting for you... There seems to be no patients while you are waiting, so don't bother the doctor. When someone calls the number plate in your hand in front of the row of tents, you will enter the account and answer when you wait. Please wait for you, sir. Write down the information and intentions, and I will work hard to settle down and arrange for you in a targeted manner."

Li Qingzhao unfolded the rice paper, and saw that it said: name; native place; literate; may have a skill; may have intentions; Yandi is currently overcrowded. If you settle in Yandi, it may be difficult to allocate land in a short time. I would like to move to Annan and Dingnan in the Dagan Dynasty. There is no war there, and there is fertile land. If you land, you can get [-] mu of fertile land...

For literate people, it is not difficult to fill out such an information collection form.

Therefore, when it was Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui's turn, Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui filled out the information collection form with the pen and ink in their account.

What needs to be explained is that Li Qingzhao did not fill in her own information, but her brother Li Hui's.

Just as Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui put down their pens, a small official greeted them with smiles on their faces.

Glancing at Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui's unbelievably beautiful characters, the clerk put away the information collection forms that Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui had filled out, and said to Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui, "If you two gentlemen intend to become an official with me, you can Move the tent next to it, and my lord can clear up the confusion for the two gentlemen."

Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui had already noticed that the little official was not targeting them.

In fact, as long as it is a person who fills out the information collection form by himself, a special person will come up to him and contact him.

Also, Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui also noticed that those who have special skills will all be politely invited to other tents.

Li Qingzhao thought it was quite novel, so he went over to see if there was anything more novel.

Qin Hui also wanted to see how the Dagan Dynasty recruited talents, so he also followed.

After entering the next tent, Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui saw a man who looked like an official.

The official introduced himself very politely: "I am Shi Jianhao, Secretary of the Ministry of Officials. Do the two gentlemen have the intention to become an official with me?"

Li Qingzhao suppressed his voice and said: "Dare to ask my husband, what do I need to become an official?"

Jian Hao replied: "If the two gentlemen have been officials before, no matter whether they were in Song, Liao, Jin, Xixia, you can tell that I will not discriminate against demoting officials, and the official department will also pay attention to the two gentlemen based on their past political experience. Inquire about the evaluation and recommendation, and I will try my best to make the best use of His Majesty the Emperor's wise and wise people, and it is expected that the two gentlemen will be appointed according to their talents in the end."

——Jian Hao could tell at a glance that Qin Hui was an official, that's why he said that.

But Li Qingzhao said: "Xiao Ke has studied in Taixue, but he failed in many tests, and his family was in decline. He couldn't get grace, so he never became an official."

Li Qingzhao really has no official power, so Jian Hao focused on resolving Li Qingzhao's confusion: "Mr. has the status of a student, so he can serve as a low-rank official in our university. If you have great political ambitions, you can try to join our university." Enko, held in two days' time..."

At this moment, several people came in from outside the tent.

When the leader saw Qin Hui, he laughed and said, "Liu is so busy here, and Mr. Qin is still here to play?"

Seeing that Liu Yanzong came here so quickly, Qin Hui thought to himself, "The information written just now by Mrs. Li and I must have been taken by Daqian's intelligence agencies to verify their identities."

—— Qin Hui was secretly shocked by the reaction speed of the intelligence department of the Daqian Dynasty.

Qin Hui knew that he was wrong, and quickly explained: "My younger brother Li Hui is curious about how Dagan can get an official position, so I have a look, and I hope Liu Xianggong will forgive me."

Liu Yanzong took a look at Li Qingzhao, and saw that Li Qingzhao had covered himself tightly, and his face was covered with frostbite wax. He couldn't see his face clearly, so he didn't think much about it. Entering an official position, this time Enke is a good opportunity to become an official."

Li Qingzhao came out this time just to have fun and to relax. If she could really get her in and take the imperial examination, then she would make a lot of money.

So Li Qingzhao followed Liu Yanzong's words: "Xiao Ke is willing to give it a try, but I don't know if there is still time?"

Baigouhe is at least one day's journey away from Yanjing, plus registration procedures and so on, Li Qingzhao really has a tight schedule if he wants to participate in Enke this time.

Liu Yanzong was just being polite to Li Qingzhao just now—Qin Hui was an official of the Zhao Song Dynasty, how could his "brother" be an official in the Daqian Dynasty?
Qin Hui did not expect that Li Qingzhao would want to take the imperial examination of the Dagan Dynasty on a whim.

Qin Hui winked at Li Qingzhao again and again, telling Li Qingzhao not to mess around. This kind of thing can be big or small. If Li Cun is angered, there is nothing he can do to save Li Qingzhao.

How could Li Qingzhao listen to Qin Hui?She just looked at Liu Yanzong expectantly.

Liu Yanzong realized that Li Qingzhao wanted him to be more flexible, and said with a smile: "I will write a recommendation letter to the junior official, and the junior official can just take my letter to take the exam tomorrow."

It's just helping to sign up, not helping to cheat.

For Liu Yanzong, this little favor was nothing more than doing something casually.

The point is that Liu Yanzong still has to deal with Qin Hui and Zhao Ding all the time, there is really no need to not sell Qin Hui this little bit of face.

When Li Qingzhao heard that it was done, her eyes were full of joy, and she immediately said: "Li Nai thanked Mr. Liu."

Seeing that Li Qingzhao was so capable of causing trouble, Qin Hui felt a headache. He only hoped that after Zhao Mingcheng received the letter he sent earlier, he would come to Yanjing to take Li Qingzhao back.

Afterwards, Li Qingzhao walked out behind Liu Yanzong and Qin Hui.

When he came outside, he saw a lot of people coming to vote. Qin Hui asked bluntly, "Are there a lot of people voting for Yandi recently?"

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and it cannot be hidden at all, so Liu Yanzong replied bluntly: "Thousands or even tens of thousands vote every day."

Hearing this number, Qin Hui's heart became more and more heavy.

Qin Hui felt that this meant that the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty was greatly fading, while the national strength of the Dagan Dynasty was increasing substantially, which also meant that the people trusted the Dagan Dynasty more and more, and distrusted the Great Song Dynasty less and less.

In other words, the Song Dynasty is losing popular support, while the Dagan Dynasty is gaining popular support.

Qin Hui thought to himself: "Will the Great Song Dynasty be defeated by Dagan, or even wiped out, will it be far behind?"

Qin Hui took a chance and asked, "If you take in such a large population, the food you have worked so hard may not be able to support you?"

Liu Yanzong showed a serious look on his face, and said: "Xiao Qin Xianggong is a person who understands people's livelihood."

Just as Qin Hui wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Yanzong smiled: "Fortunately, Your Majesty has a long-term plan. Once you arrive in Yandi, you will continue to send water troops from the south to transport food, and then immigrate a large number of people to Annan and Dingnan. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to protect myself in Yandi, and I can help the victims..."

Following Liu Yanzong's narration, Qin Hui knew that the Dagan Dynasty not only received refugees here in Yandi, but also received refugees in the Jiaodong Peninsula and the Qinling-Huai River line. It can be said that as many refugees as there were in the Song Dynasty, the Dagan Dynasty helped them resettle them. .

This made many officials of the Song Dynasty feel that this is a good thing for mutual benefit and win-win. Therefore, for the stability of the rule, they not only did not stop this matter, but also guided the way out for those refugees who could not survive.

But Qin Hui felt that the Dagan Dynasty was digging the cornerstone of the Song Dynasty, with the purpose of destroying the Song Dynasty.

in fact--

This is Qin Hui's overthinking.

In Li Cun's view, the Zhao Song Dynasty is almost the meat of his mouth, and he will immediately start to destroy the Zhao Song Dynasty when he recovers Yundi and the three states of Pingluanying.

Under such circumstances, how could Li Cun destroy the cornerstone of the Zhao Song Dynasty?

The reason why Li Cun did this was mainly to solve the problem of the lack of Han people in Annan and Dingnan, and secondly to remove the heavy burden of the Central Plains.

If, besides these two points, Li Cun had any other purpose, that might be the only one left. Li Cun hoped that the Han people would die less.

After arriving in Yandi, what surprised Li Qingzhao was that she didn't even see a barbarian along the way.

This made Li Qingzhao couldn't help thinking: "Could I have come to the wrong place?"

Qin Hui saw Li Qingzhao's doubts, and told Li Qingzhao about Li Cun's order to keep his head, change his order, and change his order.

Hearing what Qin Hui said, Li Qingzhao took a closer look at the pedestrians he met, and found that there were indeed some perverted people among them.

Li Qingzhao felt that Li Cun was really domineering about Li Cun's forcible launch of the order of keeping the head, changing the order and changing the Han order.

But Li Qingzhao also felt that it seemed that only in this way could the land of Yan be truly recovered.

Hurry up, Li Qingzhao really caught up with Enke this time.

Because of Liu Yanzong's recommendation letter.

——The main reason is that Li Cun is eager to stabilize the gentry in Yandi and reserve a group of talents to recover the nine states of Yundi and the three states of Luanying. Therefore, this time Enke, Li Cun did not make Li Gang so strict. Harsh.

In the end, Li Qingzhao really mixed in.

To Li Qingzhao's surprise, Li Gang, the chief examiner of Enke, highly praised her knowledge and ranked her first.

Of course, whether Li Qingzhao can become the number one scholar depends on the results of Li Cun's palace examination.

Before Li Cun met Li Qingzhao and his group of newly promoted Jinshi, he first looked at the basic information of them.

When Li Cun picked up Li Qingzhao's information, it said: "Li Hui, father Li Gefei, sister Li Qingzhao..."

Just the name of "Li Qingzhao", the most talented woman in the ages, is enough to make Li Cun attach importance to "Li Nai".

So Li Cun quickly picked up the policy theory written by "Li Hui".

At first glance, Li Cun was immediately shocked by the gorgeous and graceful rhetoric of "Li Hui".

To be honest, when I read this article for the first time, Li Cun only had four words in his mind - brilliant writing.

But looking more closely, Li Cun was somewhat disappointed.

Because "Li Hui"'s policy theory does not have too much substantive content, although it is not "fake big empty", but there are not many nutritious policies for governing the country, and it is still quite different from the hard-working champion in Li Cun's mind. of the gap.

Li Cun looked at the next few people again, and then realized why Li Gang ranked "Li Hui" at the first place. It is really that the level of these people behind is even worse, and "Li Hui" can write good articles anyway. At least he is qualified for the position of an official of the Ministry of Rites.

Therefore, Li Cun took a look at the article by "Li Hui" again, and murmured, "Is Li Qingzhao's younger brother also so talented? Didn't the history books say that his talent is average?"

Li Cun did not directly choose "Li Hui" as the champion, but called "Li Hui" for an "interview" according to the usual practice.

As soon as "Li Hui" came in, Li Cun saw something wrong.

Li Cun is really familiar with women. Without bragging, the current Li Cun can tell whether a person is a man or a woman just by listening and smelling with his eyes closed.

What's more, Li Qingzhao couldn't smear her face with wax this time because she wanted to have a facial face—she just got some ginger water and smeared it on her face, which made her face look sallow and rough, not so feminine Face.

The point is, due to her nervousness, Li Qingzhao unknowingly exposed her womanly demeanor, how could she escape Li Cun, who had no tolerance for sand in her eyes.

Li Qingzhao was also worried that he would be exposed.

But along the way, Li Qingzhao has also deceived many people.

This made Li Qingzhao couldn't help feeling a little fluke.

When he came to His Highness, Li Qingzhao paid homage to Li Cun according to the standard etiquette: "Your Majesty, Li Nai, has met Your Majesty. Long live my emperor!"

Li Cun sized up Li Qingzhao's eyes, and then ordered straightforwardly: "Raise your head."

When Li Qingzhao heard it, he was so nervous that his heart went up to his throat.

But Li Qingzhao didn't dare to disobey orders, so she could only raise her face slowly.

Li Cun didn't look at Li Qingzhao's disguised face at all, but directly looked at her Adam's apple.

Seeing that Li Qingzhao does not have an Adam's apple, combined with Li Qingzhao's rare and graceful writing style in ancient and modern times, and the information Li Qingzhao himself exposed, how could Li Cun not guess who Li Qingzhao really is?

Li Cun waved his hand and let all the people in the hall go out.

Seeing this extremely unusual scene, Li Qingzhao became uneasy: "Shouldn't Li Cun find anything?!"

Li Qingzhao quickly comforted himself: "No, no, I must be scaring myself!"

After everyone except Li Cun, Li Qingzhao, Liang Hongyu, Yan Zhengu and Yizhangqing had gone down, Li Cun honestly broke Li Qingzhao's last sliver of luck: "Li Qingzhao, you are so brave!"

……

……

I was too optimistic yesterday.

I'm still 37.4 degrees and have runny nose, teary eyes, sore throat and headache, worse than yesterday.

It seems that it will take a day or two to recover.

Please forgive me for another two days, I am really out of shape now.
