Gao Wu Da Xia: The fox demon lady at the beginning

Chapter 174 Emperor Yingxuan’s anger
Han Chufan has great prestige among the people, and many scholars want to serve under him.

Especially for scholars from poor families in the three northern states, this exam has a strong appeal to them.

Most of these scholars who came from poor families came from poor families.

The official position in the northwest military town is an opportunity for them to change their destiny.

Of course, there are also some passionate young people who go there to make achievements. In the northwest military town, they can follow Pingbei Hou to expand territory and make achievements.

Most young people have not yet been assimilated into the waning Daxia, and they still have ideals and passion.

Han Chufan's northwest military town gave them hope for the human race.

Partly for the sake of becoming an official and partly for the sake of ideals, young scholars embarked on the road to Ping An City.

In the imperial city of the imperial capital.

With a "bang", Emperor Yingxuan dropped the tea cup to the ground.

"What does Han Chufan want to do? Select and appoint officials privately. Does he want to be the king of the northwest?" Emperor Yingxuan's face was full of anger.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Nowadays, the northwest military town is in dire straits and is in need of a large number of officials.

Moreover, Ping Beihou did not openly select officials. He just established some university to recruit students. It was more like setting up an Imperial College. "

The great eunuch Zong Bao said from the side.

"I think Han Chufan is becoming more and more dishonest."

As Han Chufan became more powerful, Emperor Yingxuan's appreciation and trust in Han Chufan continued to decline.

"Your Majesty, the Wu Clan army in the direction of Yanzhou is increasing its troops in large numbers, and the bandits in the central region have recently resurfaced.

There are also many demon clans in the south who have gathered a lot of troops. At this time, the northwest must not be disloyal again. "

The great eunuch Zong Bao reminded.

Emperor Yingxuan's face darkened, "I know."

He is still counting on Han Chufan to defend him against foreigners and put down the rebels. He will not touch Han Chufan easily.

Then he pondered for a while and continued: "In the imperial examinations in recent years, half of the successful candidates are from the southeast. What is going on?"

"These two southeastern states have always been wealthy, and they attach great importance to the education of their children. Good grades are inevitable." Zong Bao said carefully.

"Humph, is this good? This is too good, isn't it? In the future, the court will be filled with people from the Southeast? You and Zhang Rulin are also useless."

Emperor Yingxuan said angrily.

Zhang Rulin and Zong Bao were originally promoted to suppress the Southeast Party. However, several years have passed and the Southeast Party has not weakened at all and has become stronger.

Especially in the imperial examinations in recent years, Southeasterners account for half of the candidates.

If he hadn't personally participated in the palace examination, Emperor Yingxuan would have suspected that the Southeast Party members had committed fraud.

Zong Bao knelt down in horror, "This old slave deserves death."

Emperor Yingxuan looked at Zong Bao who was kneeling on the ground, calmed down, and helped Zong Bao up.

"Get up, Zong Bao, you grew up with me, and you are also the person I trust most in the court. The situation in Daxia is really worrying me."

When Emperor Yingxuan was still a prince, Zong Bao was his eunuch attendant, and the two have been in a relationship for more than 40 years.

Emperor Yingxuan's eyes were full of exhaustion. The situation in Daxia was indeed not optimistic, and internal and external troubles made him very tired.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your trust in this slave. I will go through fire and water for your Majesty."

Half a month later, students from the three northern states arrived in Ping'an City one after another. It would take some time for students from other states to arrive due to the long distance.

Students from the three northern states were stunned when they saw Ping An City.

This is a city without walls. The city is surrounded by fertile land stretching for more than ten miles.

The huge waterwheel rotates slowly along the river, like a beautiful picture.

Walking further inside, there is a wide road paved with bluestone slabs, with an endless stream of people and vehicles coming and going.And everyone was dressed well, with rosy faces and confident smiles.

It is in sharp contrast to the numb poor people in their hometown who are barely clothed and hungry.

Everyone here seems to have enough food and clothing.

This is something unbelievable in other places in Daxia.

Even the two most affluent southeastern states and the imperial capital are full of beggars.

In Ping'an City, there was not a single beggar on the roadside.

Walking along the road, you can see many factories, including wineries, cigarette factories, steel factories, and textile factories, all built on the edge of the city.

Especially at steel plants, huge chimneys emitted thick black smoke.

The students who saw this kind of large-scale factory for the first time were filled with shock.

"Is this really my territory in Daxia?" a student said in shock.

"It should be right, but this Ping An City is so different."

"Look, what are those women doing?"

One student said in surprise, pointing to the groups of women coming in and out of the textile factory.

"From out of town?"

A middle-aged man coming from Ping An City next to him saw the surprised look on these students and knew that they were outsiders.

Anyone who comes to Ping An City for the first time will be shocked by everything in Ping An City.

"Yes, big brother, we are all here to take the entrance examination for Northwestern University, what are those girls in front of you doing?"

The students asked curiously.

Nowhere else can you see so many women in public.

"It turns out he's a scholar. Sorry, he's a worker from our Ping'an City Textile Factory."

"Can women also work?"

"Why not? My mother-in-law works in a textile factory and earns five taels of silver every year." The middle-aged man said proudly.

"Fifty taels of silver, that's enough for an ordinary person to spend for a year." The students were shocked again. No wonder the people in Ping'an City seemed to be very wealthy.

"That's not true. All of this was given by the Marquis. With the Marquis, we can have the good life we ​​have now. We don't have to worry about food and clothing."

"Lord Pingbei Hou is indeed amazing." The students said with admiration.

"Okay, I have to go to the fields to do farm work. When you go into the city, you will find a place called the Administrative Bureau. They will arrange your food and accommodation.

All Wenqu stars, I wish you high school, and we will all be people in Ping An City in the future. "The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Thank you, big brother." The students responded one after another.

Looking at the background of the middle-aged man leaving, the students said: "This Ping An City is really extraordinary. A farmer is so polite and confident."

"Indeed, Lord Pingbeihou is really amazing. He managed this place so well."

“I remembered Mr. Han’s article.

[The journey of the great road is also about the world being one for the common good, selecting the worthy and capable, adhering to trustworthiness and cultivating harmony.

Therefore, people should not only kiss their relatives, not only their sons and sons, so that the old will be able to die, the strong will be useful, and the young will be able to grow.

】

I thought it was just an unattainable dream, but unexpectedly I saw the prototype of Datong society in Ping'an City. "
