Chapter 11 County Examinations
In the early morning of the second day, Tang Han held his saber, bid farewell to his master, mother and other brothers, and went down Huashan alone.

When I first went to Huashan Mountain, I was young, and although I had good physical fitness, climbing the mountain was a bit strenuous. Now that I have entered the second-rate realm of the rivers and lakes, my internal strength is not weak, and I have light kung fu and body skills, so I can go down the mountain much faster.

Huashan mountain road is steep and difficult, which is nothing to Tang Han.

Arrived in Huayin County, entered the county seat, Huayin County is not a small county, and is located in the north-south, east-west traffic arteries, very bustling, bustling with people coming and going, street vendors shouting loudly to attract customers, There are all kinds of small handicrafts and snacks, and there are horse-drawn carriages passing by on the street from time to time.

Occasionally, people dressed as Jianghu people can be seen walking on the street with swords.

Tang Han nodded slightly. He also returned home last year. This is his home in this world. Tang Han is neither familiar nor unfamiliar. The city at this time is not much different from that of later generations. Ten years later, nothing has changed.

Since Zhu Taizu expelled Yuanmeng from the north and restored the Han people, the world has basically been peaceful. Although it is said that Ming Chengzu personally conquered Mongolia five times, and there was an incident in which Yingzong's northern conquest of Oara was defeated and the emperor was captured, there was no war overall, and people enjoyed peace. World.

When I returned to the Tang Mansion, I saw that the Tang Mansion was still prosperous. Tang Han knew that the Tang family was more prosperous under the management of his father Tang Zhengde. The family had tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land and hundreds of shops. It is not an exaggeration to say that the richest family in Yin County.

"Father, mother, the child is back!" Tang Han shouted loudly as soon as he arrived in front of the mansion.

"I have seen the young master!" The guard of the Tang Mansion saw Tang Han, recognized Tang Han, bowed with a happy face, and then told the servant next to him: "Hurry up and report to the master and madam, Master is back."

"Ding Nuyuan, my father and mother are at home." Tang Han asked.

"Master, Master and Madam are at home today, please come with me, Master." Ding Huyuan said.

This Ding Nuyuan is about 40 years old. He was originally a bodyguard, but later he felt that bodyguards are in the business of walking on the edge of swords and guns. It usually takes a month or even two months to run a bodyguard, and it is easy to be robbed. It is really unstable, so No more darts.Just happened to meet the Tang Mansion Recruitment Hospital, so I came to beg for a meal.

The Tang family has a great career, so naturally there will be no nursing home. When Tang Han came back last year, there were as many as ten people in the Tang family's nursing home to protect the safety of the Tang family.

Of course, these nursing homes are basically not in the world, and they haven't even cultivated their internal strength. They rely on daring to fight hard and have a passion for it. Even second-rate masters in the world are unwilling to face ten nursing homes.

Tang Han would not underestimate these people who are begging for life on the tip of the knife. Although these people have not learned inner skills, have no inner strength, and do not have any advanced martial arts, they are experienced in the world and are not easy to mess with.

Tang Han followed into the mansion, the area of ​​the Tang Mansion is really not small, there are hundreds of people up and down, including the stewards of the Tang Mansion, servants and maidservants, as well as the nursing home.

"Mother, who is that!" Not long after, Tang Han saw his mother holding a little girl with a flushed face. The little girl asked timidly when she saw him.

"Ting'er, this is your brother, why don't you call me brother, you forgot, brother loves you the most, and bought you a doll last time!" Li Qingzhu had a smile on his face.

"Brother? What is brother? Can you eat it?" The little girl's eyes showed playfulness.

"Haha, Ting'er, do you miss my brother?" Tang Han said with a smile. He walked up quickly and was about to pick up the little girl, but he was so frightened that the little girl hid behind Li Qingzhu and burst into tears.

Tang Han showed helplessness.

This little girl is his younger sister, named 'Tang Tingyu', who is almost three years old this year. When Tang Han came back last time, this little girl was only ten months old. Unexpectedly, she is already very good at running.

At that time, Tang Han lived at home for more than half a month, and the little guy was the most clingy to him. As long as he hugged him, others would cry when he hugged him. Now he wanted to hug him, but he cried in fright.

"You, you don't come back once a year, even your sister doesn't recognize you!" Li Qingzhu said angrily.

"Mother, isn't this a child practicing martial arts hard?" Tang Han smiled, watching Li Qingzhu coaxing Tang Tingyu, but he felt a little sorry in his heart. Ever since he went to Huashan, Tang Han went home twice, and on average he didn't come back once a year. .

"By the way, mother, where is daddy!" Tang Han asked.

"Your father is entertaining distinguished guests." Li Qingzhu said: "Today the county magistrate is visiting, and your father is hosting a banquet."

"County magistrate? Why did the county magistrate come to our Tang family?" Tang Han asked curiously.

"It's snowing heavily this year, and many people's houses were crushed by the snow. The county magistrate wants to ask your father to contribute some money and food to help the victims." Li Qingzhu said.

Tang Han understood.

The Tang family is the largest family in Huayin, with tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land and a wealth of wealth. However, whenever there is a drought or flood, they will open a porridge shop to help the victims. It is precisely because the Tang family does many good things that they have a good reputation in Huayin County.

"It's also thanks to your suggestion to your father to build a tofu workshop and a soy sauce workshop, which made the family a lot of money. Of course, we need to do more good deeds to repay God's favor." Li Qingzhu said.

When Tang Han went to the Huashan school, he suggested to Tang Zhengde to open a tofu workshop and a soy sauce workshop. With the two workshops, the Tang family's business spread all over Shaanxi quickly, and they really made a lot of profits.Tang's tofu, vegetable oil, soybean oil and soy sauce are all very popular.

Tang Han did not provide a way to make huge profits, otherwise the Tang family would not be able to defend it. Tang Han still knew the so-called "every man is innocent but he is guilty of crime".If the Tang family has a way to make huge profits, it will definitely cause trouble and be swallowed up to the bone.

"By the way, the child's exam will start after a while. You have to study hard at home and try to pass the county exam." Li Qingzhu said immediately after thinking of this.

The Tongsheng Examination, presided over by the academic officer, is divided into county examination, government examination, and college examination. Only by passing the first-level examination can one participate in the next-level examination, and can enter the prefecture and state to study, and can study under the Confucianism. Candidates must pass the hospital examination before they can participate in the township examination.

"Mother, don't worry, since the boy has made an agreement with you three chapters, he will definitely do it." Tang Han said with a smile.

When he traveled to the world of Xiaoao, his memory was much better than in his previous life, and he also practiced martial arts, so his memory was even better.

The children's examinations are mostly held in February, presided over by the county magistrate. There are usually five examinations, including eight-legged essays, test-posted poems, classics, rhymes, and policy theories.The county examination requires the recommendation of 4 people from the village and 1 scholar before they can take the examination.With the Tang family's prominence, it is no problem to participate in the Tongsheng Examination.

As for the content of the test, Tang Han had already learned it well four years ago, and Tang Han was confident that he would pass the test. After all, no matter how difficult the entrance exam is, how can it be so rare to fail the college entrance examination?
"It's good for you to know. If you haven't passed the county-level boy student test and you get the boy student qualification, you will give up the idea of ​​practicing martial arts." Li Qingzhu said angrily.

Tang Han smiled and said nothing, followed Li Qingzhu in, and saw the county magistrate of Huayin County. The county magistrate of Huayin County was only seven grades in terms of grade, but he was the parent official of Huayin County, with great power.

"Master Duan, this is a dog, Tang Han!" Tang Zhengde introduced Tang Han with a smile: "Han Er, I have met Mr. Duan soon. Mr. Duan is the parent officer of our Huayin County. I still have to trouble Mr. Duan to take care of me."

"Father Tiger has no sons. Mr. Tang looks talented, gentle and elegant. His talent name has been spread all over Huayin County a few years ago, even Li Yuanzheng always praised him." Master Duan laughed. He was wearing an official robe, about three Ten years old, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Boy, I have met Mr. Duan!" Tang Han said politely.

The banquet continued. In his previous life, Tang Han was a man of science and engineering, not good at dealing with people. In this life, he is more introverted, living on his own, and not caring about other people's eyes. If Tang Zhengde was not there to take care of him, he might become an embarrassment. Chatted.
