The master actually sent a letter, which surprised Yunjing. He thought he wouldn't want to know about the master in a short time.
In the letter, Li Qiu first asked how Yunjing's studies were going, and told him not to slack off in his studies. Anyway, even after being separated for so long, he was still as concerned with Yunjing's studies as before.
Then Li Qiu explained his current whereabouts. He said that he had settled down in the capital and everything was going well. Using the 'thing' that Yunjing gave him, after some work, he had officially become an official, and now he is directly appointed as an official.
Fourth-grade, serving in the Ministry of War, he even vaguely suggested that his department was newly added and he was fully responsible for it.
After carefully considering the information Li Qiu gave, Yunjing had to say that his master was still very cautious. He did not directly mention the name of 'that thing' in the letter. He just had to understand it himself. It was not the time for that thing to see the light of day yet.
.
Li Qiu was originally a commoner, but he became a fourth-rank official with that thing. It can be said that he reached the sky in one step. This shows that the dynasty attached great importance to that thing and did not hesitate to set up a separate department under the control of the Ministry of War.
A fourth-grade official was quite a big figure in the Dali Dynasty. In local terms, he was at least as high as the top official in a county. He even had great say in the state capital area. He could be described as a big official.
Moreover, when it comes to officials in the capital, they are one step ahead of the local officials. Li Qiu serves as a fourth-rank official in the capital. When he goes out, he can be on an equal footing with the top officials in the state capital!
As far as Yun Jing knows about the Dali Dynasty, it can be said that the fourth-grade official is the limit that can be achieved through the normal imperial examination. If you want to go one step further, you must either be in the top three of the imperial examination, have outstanding achievements, or have someone above you, otherwise there will be almost no chance.
Opportunity to go further.
Being a fourth-rank official is a hurdle. If you can jump over it and reach the third rank, you will be considered a real boss in the Dali Dynasty.
In addition to these, Li Qiu also implicitly mentioned in the letter the military deployment of the Dali Dynasty in the next few years.
When it comes to military deployment, this kind of thing can be said to be a country's secret and cannot be left on paper. Li Qiu didn't say it clearly. He and Yun Jing have been getting along day and night for so many years, and the two sides have a tacit understanding. Yun Jing also thought about it for a long time before he understood.
I understood what Master wanted to express.
Probably, Li Qiu went to the capital and provided things like gunpowder. The dynasty attached great importance to it and did not hesitate to readjust its military deployment. In the next few years, the dynasty will use procrastination to stabilize the border war and show off to the enemy.
When that thing is almost ready, or when the enemy country sees that the Dali Dynasty can't hold off anymore and launches a massive attack, the Dali Dynasty will give the enemy a 'surprise' and unexpectedly turn the tide in one fell swoop.
To sum up, the Dali Dynasty will spend the next few years dragging its feet, putting on a show for the enemy, secretly preparing gunpowder to show the enemy weakness, and then suddenly erupting...
These things are related to national secrets, so Li Qiu will naturally not disclose them on paper. Yunjiu figured them out based on the ambiguous information from his master.
"So, the war has to continue and it won't end within a few years..."
After analyzing the information, Yunjing thought to himself.
War is cruel. Every extra day of fighting consumes an astronomical amount of manpower and material resources. It is the same for every country. But the war has already happened. It is no longer a question of whether one side wants to fight or not. Either win or lose.
Otherwise, there is almost no third possibility.
If you win, everything you pay will be worth it. Expanding the territory and increasing the national strength will have many benefits. However, if you lose, I am afraid that under the chain reaction, it will not be impossible to destroy the country, and then everything will be over!
Secondly, Li Qiu also implicitly said in the letter that after he is almost ready for his current position, he will go to the front line. After all, he knows that kind of thing best. Once he goes into war, he must be the one who is most familiar with it.
It was several years later that the border soldiers discussed how to use it to maximize the effect.
Finally, Li Qiu asked Yunjing in the letter if he wanted to go to the capital to study. First, he could give Yunjing some pointers on his knowledge. Furthermore, the teaching staff in the capital was much better than that in a small place like Niujiao Town.
.
If Yunjing wants to study in the capital, Li Qiu can help him make arrangements. With his current official position and the relationship with Master Li Qiu, he can arrange for Yunjing to go to even the Four Great Academy Palaces.
However, he reminded Yunjing that once he decided to go to the capital to study, he would have to be prepared to face countless outstanding people. The pressure would be great, and it would not be as relaxing as in Niujiao Town in such an environment.
, it is a huge challenge to a person’s willpower and all aspects.
That's pretty much the content of the letter.
After reading Master's letter repeatedly and fully understanding what Master meant, Yunjing spread out the paper and began to write a reply to Master.
First, he said that his knowledge has never been carried away for a moment, and hoped that the master would be relieved. Then he congratulated him on becoming an official, and hoped that the master would rise to the top.
In his reply, Yunjing never mentioned the item or the military deployment of the dynasty. He just pretended that he didn't know about it and was just doing family business anyway.
Then after repeated thinking, Yunjing replied to his master that he had no plans to go to the capital to study in the short term. He thanked his master for his kindness. It was not that he did not want to make progress, but that his parents were not traveling far away. Now that he was young, he wanted to go
My family will be worried if I go to the capital, and I won't be able to come back for a short time, so I hope Master will understand. However, Yunjing said that he will definitely go to the capital if he has the opportunity in the future, and will reunite with his master then.
After writing the reply, he repeatedly checked that there was nothing that could lead to adverse consequences. Yunjing then folded it and put it in an envelope, filled in the address left by his master, and asked Song Yan to mail it.
Finally, with the news about his master, Yun Jing was relieved of his worries. It seems that so far, the eldest princess has not had time to interfere with it...
Then Yunjing thought again, his master is now a Beijing official, and he is also a fourth-rank official, does he have someone above him? To put it bluntly, now that his master is protecting him, Yunjing can be in Niujiao Town or even Xinlin
The county goes sideways!
He was just thinking about these things. If he really swelled up, he still wouldn't be able to swell up. Even if he did swell up, maybe the master would be able to come back from the capital and punish him...
The trivial matters have been taken care of, and the new semester has begun.
After school started, Yunjing went to school and received the textbooks for the new semester, which were still a pile of dozens of books. To be honest, in the intellectual education class after birth, there was really too much to learn, and most people really couldn't bear it.
Otherwise, scholars are often described as versatile in both civil and military affairs. The word "all-round" is not just rhetoric.
As expected, when Yunjing and his friends started the new semester, two new faces appeared in their class. They were the ones who had passed the exams this year and joined their class.
Youdao means that new people come and old people go. There are new people coming to their intellectual class, and naturally there are also people of the right age who have graduated and left the school to start a new life.
Time is changing, people are changing, everything is changing.
This semester, Yunjing and his class held a leading election. Yunjing won the position of leading the first knowledge class by virtue of his excellent grades and good eloquence in the previous semester. This was added to his student status.
A resume.
Students in the Zhiwen class will have to take the scholar examination in the future. The value of the academic post is very high, much higher than that of the Mengtong class. It may not have much effect on the future imperial examination, but the imperial examination here is thousands of years old.
Those who can cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops can have a greater chance than others if they have a little advantage over others. Since he has this condition and opportunity, Yunjing is naturally willing to grab this position.
It’s not that you want to compare yourself with others, just be happy with yourself.
Study and learn, practice martial arts to strengthen yourself, and just live like this day by day.
After the first exchange of letters with Master, the two parties continued to have more contacts. Yunjing would receive letters from Master in a month or two.
It can be regarded as a tacit understanding between master and disciple. Although some things have not been put on paper, from the master's letters, Yun Jing found out after repeated deliberation that countless people in the dynasty pooled their wisdom. As time went by, Huo Yao...
This kind of thing is gradually being played out.
Today, gunpowder is still a secret strategic item that has not been put into actual combat, but the dynasty has been quietly testing it. Once it is put into the battlefield in the future, it will surely surprise the enemy.
While studying, Yunjing did not forget his relationship with several friends, and they often played together.
Youdao is a country that is easy to change and its nature is hard to change. Yunjing's few friends, their respective "characteristics" have not faded with the passage of time.
After all, Wang Bolin has not given up the habit of watching the emperor's uncle. He is still very interested in women as always. I don't know when, that guy learned to listen to music in Goulan. Listening to music is just an elegant way of saying it. He mainly likes to see young ladies.
They twerked and danced. In his words, this made him happy physically and mentally, and was very helpful for learning. After all, when you are in a good mood, you will be more motivated to study, right?
Yunjing expressed strong contempt for his behavior. What's so good about a young lady? To me, a young lady is like, hey, you're treating me to a treat. Let's go together...
As time goes by, Zhou Jintai gets fatter, almost turning into a ball. He can't control his mouth. He will never get rid of his greedy habit in this life. He is gradually no longer satisfied with eating everywhere.
He didn't know where he heard about elixirs, and slowly began to think about 'refining elixirs'. On the road of 'eating', he ran away like a wild dog without looking back.
After studying, Chen Yijian was obsessed with martial arts, especially sword practice. Good guy, his talent in swordsmanship was gradually revealed, and he gradually dared to cover his face and fight in the town. Even if he wanted to die, he said that he was a professional.
At first, he taught some young gangsters a lesson, but gradually he became displeased with the sight of low-level people practicing martial arts.
Fortunately, Niujiao Town was only that big, so no matter how hard he tried, it would only be like that. He beat people and was beaten. Anyway, he just enjoyed it. He often acted chivalrously, but his actual combat experience was getting better and better...
Spring passes and autumn comes, year after year.
When Yun Jing was twelve years old, Wang Bolin took part in the imperial examination for the third time and finally passed the exam. The guy was obsessed with the young lady and couldn't help himself, so he actually passed the exam. This made Zhou Jintai, who didn't pass the exam, seriously suspect that he was cheating.
.
The following year, after unremitting efforts, Zhou Jintai was also admitted to the Tongsheng School. Since then, the four friends who grew up together have become famous people...
