Chapter 29: Two years later
In a blink of an eye, a month passed. Before Xiong Yan returned to the capital, the Chinese New Year was still there. But when he left the capital, it was already after the Chinese New Year.
And within this month, there were also changes. Just two days ago, the court secretly organized a special book printing department.
It is said that the purpose of this department is to print books in the world and build a large library.
It is estimated that after every county town or even county town in the country has built a large library, it will have to wait until the branch of the book printing department is formed into a county or even county before the movable type printing technology will be disclosed in one fell swoop.
By then, even if all the carving craftsmen across the country went on strike collectively and refused to continue printing books, it would be harmless.
Thinking of this, Xiong Yan had to admit that the court was really steady enough in acting.
Although this time may take longer, maybe two years or three to five years, once the layout is over and printing is announced, all this will definitely be the general trend and will be unstoppable.
Even during the two or three years of preparation, the court could quietly lower the price and sell books, taking the opportunity to make a fortune.
Thinking of this, Xiong Yan shook his head with a smile, and there was a new change in his understanding of the court.
...
"Lihua, let's go, today is the day we will leave."
"Okay, your highness has already finished the salutes. When you go back, you will still be on the rail car and the private room."
"Your Highness, come on. In order to restore our identity as soon as possible, we must work harder than before."
Looking at the Lihua who stretched out his right hand and clamped his fists to encourage him, Xiong Yan felt a little regretful for a moment, regretting that Lihua and his mother had been staying for so long.
What have you been taught in a little loli that I finally developed in just one month?
"Yeah, work hard." As he nodded, he quietly changed the topic.
Before entering the rail car, Xiong Yan sighed and left after looking at Luoyang in the distance and looking at the humanitarian dragon energy vaguely above Luoyang.
One day, after I come back, I will not leave again, but will move into the palace and become the master of the entire empire.
...
Spring goes and autumn comes, flowers fade and bloom, time flies, and soon more than a year and a half passed. In a blink of an eye, it was the second autumn of the year.
To be precise, this is the fourth year that Xiong Yan has left the palace.
When he was twelve years old, Xiong Yan left the palace, concealed his identity, and came to Xiongjia Village, Gu County.
In the autumn of that year, I participated in the Tongsheng Examination, and in the spring of the following year, I participated in the Scholar Examination.
In the summer of the following year, he became the village chief of Hujia Village, and then asked for rain and found that the rebels were named Yichengzi.
During the Chinese New Year the next year, Xiong Yan returned to the palace and recommended a new version of movable type printing technology to his father Xiong Chang.
Today is the autumn of the fourth year. As early as the summer, Xiong Yan stepped down as village chief of Hujia Village, returned to Viscount's Mansion, and began to prepare for the exam with all his strength to prepare for the juren exam that will come this autumn.
Looking back on these history, Xiong Yan found that he had been fifteen years old without realizing it. Before leaving the palace at the age of twelve, he was still a child, and even his hairstyle was a child's braid...
But today, when he looked in front of the mirror, Xiong Yan saw a handsome young man with a handsome figure.
"Lihua, who is this? Why is it so beautiful? You are almost catching up with me?" Xiong Yan pointed to the mirror, looked at Lihua standing behind him, and asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lihua shook her head helplessly. Your Highness is good at everything, but sometimes she always likes to make jokes that are somewhat mentally retarded.
"Yes, this person is very elegant and looks very good. He looks better than Pan An, no, he is better than Pan An... "
Pan An and Song Yu are both famous beauties in history. Li Hua compared Xiong Yan with them, which instantly reminded Xiong Yan: I am familiar with Xu Gong in the north of the city?
"Ahem, you've said it a little bit. I'm not that good-looking yet, but it's just a little worse than Pan An and Song Yu." As he said that, he stretched out his right hand and gestured with his thumb and index finger.
After playing for a while, Xiong Yan took advantage of it, and Lihua was not surprised. She had been used to it for so many years.
Moreover, she had seen through Xiong Yan long ago. She had a thief heart and no courage. She had been prepared to sacrifice herself several times, but Xiong Yan retreated at the last minute. It was really, she really didn't know what to say.
"By the way, your highness, are you preparing so well? Can you get the full marks in this juren exam?"
"Not necessarily, this time it's really not necessarily. Although several Hanlin bachelors said that my current level of education is no less than that of the top Jinshi in the third grade, I am still not sure whether I can get the full mark in the Juren exam."
In Dachu, after the Tongsheng passed the exam, he could solve his personal food and clothing problem. He could eat meat every day and live a wealthy life in the second half of his life. It was no problem.
Once the scholar passes the exam and becomes a scholar, he is the official. With the scholar's fortune, he can not only change his own destiny, but also change the destiny of his family.
Even if I have the capital to practice, even if I am just in the state of just getting started, I can at least be refreshed, have a high concentration of mental power, be healthy, and do not suffer minor illnesses.
And Juren is even more amazing. Once you pass the exam, as long as you don’t make big mistakes in the future, you can at least become a county magistrate.
The county magistrate of Da Chu is different from the previous dynasty. A county in Da Chu has a population of more than 100,000, and a large population of hundreds of thousands. Such a large population is almost the same as a small county in the previous dynasty.
The name of Bailihou is well-known. Moreover, once he becomes the county magistrate, he can receive a certain degree of luck in the county. When he is old, he can cultivate to the second-level innate realm.
Similarly, the position of county magistrate is also the key to the connection between the court.
Most of the officials above the county magistrates are arrogant and have little contact with ordinary people and even low-level officials.
Under the county magistrate, there are all small officials. Any official can determine the daily living standards of the people and even whether they go bankrupt.
Continuing the past and the future, it refers to the county magistrate. Therefore, Da Chu attaches unprecedented importance to the county magistrate.
Similarly, these attentions are also experienced in the imperial examination.
In the Tongsheng exam, as long as you are literate and have normal intelligence, you will definitely pass the exam after studying hard for a while.
The scholar exam requires genius, plus hard work, and a very healthy body to have a certain chance of passing the exam.
As for the Juren exam, you must be a monk, otherwise you will not be qualified for the exam. This alone determines that not all scholars can take the Juren exam.
