There is a poem to prove it: "There are few days of leisure in the Tian family, and the people are more busy in May."

Bai Letian was the county magistrate of Yuji County at that time, and wrote this poem. Yuji County (Zhouzhi) County is a county under the provincial capital. Because it is bordered by the Wei River, located in the southwest and the Qinling Mountains in the south, the wheat is lighted early and matures earlier than other regions, and is harvested in the May of the lunar calendar. In other regions, wheat tourists will probably have to go north to Fengxiang to harvest wheat.

From ancient times to the present, the poverty of the people has not changed much.

Interestingly, the folk proverb in Guanzhong is: "Jin Zhouzhi, Yinhu County, murder and set fire to Chang'an County."

Among the 800-mile Qinchuan, Yuji County is more prosperous.

When he walked to the main road of the southern suburbs, Bai Gui didn't dare to ride a horse anymore. He got off the horse and took the leash, walked by the roadside, avoiding pedestrians.

I saw an old woman pulling a cart with picked pears on it, which should be early pears in June. They are not as plump as in later generations, but it can also be seen that they were carefully selected. They are neat and well-proportioned, covered with a layer of felt cloth, and a boy of seven or eight years old helped push the cart behind them.

"You lead the horse, I'll help you pull the car."

"It has a gentle personality and will not run around, don't worry..."

Bai Gui touched the boy's messy hair and threw the reins into his hand.

"This is not done..."

The old woman thought that some young man had driven a cart, but she saw that it was a rich young master, so she didn't dare to accept the kindness and refused.

"It's okay, um, I've practiced martial arts recently, and I have nowhere to use my spare energy!"

Bai Gui found an excuse and pulled the old woman's cart without saying anything. He was strong and strong. Even though he was not as good as Master Ma, he was 30% more than ordinary people. He walked as fast as he could, without blushing at all.

"Wuzhen Pian" says: "The practice of virtue exceeds eight hundred, and the accumulation of yin skills is over three thousand. The same thing and my relatives and enemies will be combined with the original wishes of gods and immortals."

It is emphasized that one should practice inner alchemy and accumulate virtue first.

Although this is the words of Zhang Ziyang, the Quanzhen Southern Sect, it does not mean that the Northern Sect will not cultivate virtues, but it is more inclined to be personal and pure. It still has to do virtues.

With virtue, practice can be faster.

I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but I don’t have much psychological burden to do good deeds.

The old woman can only follow the boy.

When you arrive at the south gate, it is a market. You have to pay taxes when you enter the city. If you sell live goods, you have to pay additional taxes. Therefore, most small vendors gather not far from the city gate to start business.

It's just a simple encounter.

Nothing special.

Bai Gui bought a bag of pears, which was not expensive, only a few cents. The old woman refused and said that the one she grew was not worth much. He stuffed the money into the boy's hands, paid the city gate tax, and went straight to the normal school.

The Normal School has stables in the backyard.

Whether in the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, cavalry had room for exercise. The reason why the Qing Dynasty was forced to cede a large number of land outside the pass was also related to the complete defeat of the cavalry by the Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom...

Therefore, if you want to learn military affairs, you cannot avoid riding a horse.

After handing over the horse to the horse shepherd who specializes in raising horses in the school, Bai Gui walked through the hand-copying corridor and came to the lecture hall ear room.

I didn't go back to the city during the curfew last night, and as usual I had to report to Zhaifu.

"Have you learned martial arts?"

When Zhaifu saw Bai Gui's obviously stronger body shape, he was slightly surprised and guessed.

There are not many people who learn martial arts in normal schools, but there are always a few. Rich children can afford to hire a guardian. It is very common for them to teach a few martial arts skills.

Then his eyes lit up, he stood up and said, "Game, gesture."

In a moment.

Zhaifu was defeated and felt very happy. He realized that Bai Gui had asked him on purpose, but the attack was quite comfortable. He waved his hand and said, "There is a cause and there is no punishment. Be careful next time. If you can't come back, ask someone to report a message, otherwise we will find it if you lose the student."

He said that the normal school is related.

If something happens, you can tell the school, and the school will make the decision for you.

Normal School cannot cover up the sky in Qin Province, but it has a close relationship with all walks of life. As long as students come out from here and pass by a letter, they will basically do things that are not difficult to do.

Bai Gui thanked him naturally.

...

Since saying goodbye to Master Ma, Bai Gui's life has also been added to the matter of practicing martial arts in addition to studying. In order to facilitate martial arts, he specially rented a small courtyard next to the normal school. The price was not cheap, but it was within his tolerance. However, he did not move out, but he just went there when practicing martial arts.

During this period, General Zhang was also promoted to a member of the New Army Supervision and Training Institute. He was a little far from the provincial capital and was not here to train the New Army. Moreover, he was still able to learn Japanese, so it was not convenient to disturb General Zhang from teaching again, but he would take some time every now and then to walk around.

Relationships are often brought by contact.

If you don’t move for a long time, it will fade slowly.

In this orderly preparation, the Qin Provincial Academy Examination also arrived as scheduled.

The college examination is also called the Taoist examination. It takes two tests within three years, and most of the exams are held in August every year. This year is also the time for the college examination.

The reason why the college examination is called the college examination is because it takes the exam in the tribute school.

This is the last step to gaining fame of scholars.

The Qin Provincial Gongyuan is one of the fifteen Gongyuans built in the sixth year of Yongle, Chengzu of the early Ming Dynasty. The Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites, which was originally located in the imperial city, has been destroyed for many years. This Gongyuan is located in Andingmen on the west gate of the provincial capital. It is adjacent to the provincial capital and the Taiju Department, and is a formal official office area.

In the early morning, just like the county and government tests, we will go out early.

However, the simple examination sheds of the Gongyuan and the county examination were different from those of the government examination. The gongyuan’s huts and mattresses were more than just one of the best. In front of the dragon gate, you can still see two tall walls, with dry date thorns and thorns on the top of the walls to prevent someone from climbing over the wall to cheat. Therefore, the Gongyuan is also called "Thorn Entrance".

Two archways are built on the east and west sides of the dragon gate, namely "Tengjiao" and "Qifeng".

The candidates searched and entered one by one.

When you enter the eyes, you can see rows of adjacent houses. In the lower courtyard of the hall, there is another large pool of water. This is the canal water introduced from Tongji Canal in the west of the city, which is similar to Panchi, and also means "to bathe in a good deed for a scholar".

As for Bai Gui, as the head of the mansion, he still held the hall number and the seat was located above the court.

After being protected by the student entrusted by the tutor, he took the seat.

"Is this the head of the prefecture city this time? He is restrained, strong in muscles and bones, and full of energy. He is obviously a soldier." Governor Fang, who was sitting in the court, smiled slightly when he saw this and looked at the prefect Yin on the side.
