Chai Tiannuo sighed. A few days ago, he first received letters from Zhao Jiujin and Zhao Sanli. The contents were astonishing!
After the beginning of spring, as the temperature rose, the plague began to wreak havoc in the northwest. In just two months, half of the soldiers and civilians in the entire northwest province were infected with the plague.
In order to control the plague ghosts and treat the sick, the northwest finance, which was already stretched due to repairing the city and paying pensions, completely collapsed.
In just ten years, the northwest reported more than 50,000 deaths from plague ghosts. As medicinal materials became increasingly scarce, the death toll increased sharply.
The two hoped that Chaitino could help purchase medicines from the capital. Currently, less than 30% of the personnel in the northwest frontier army can fight. If a war really breaks out, they may not be able to last long.
Hearing about the accident in the northwest, Chai Tiannuo couldn't sit still. He hurriedly contacted Bao Buzhi and asked him to help find the source of goods. Money is not an issue, only the quantity!
Bao Buzhi agreed with all his heart. The old friendship was here, and Chai Tiannuo's status was very different now, so he naturally tried his best.
The medicinal materials were about to be on the road, and Chai Tiannuo received another letter from two husbands, hoping that they could speak kindly to the capital and avoid paying taxes in the northwest this year.
Although everything in the northwest is flourishing and the plants are growing happily due to Kui Sirius, half of the people have fallen ill and the entire northwest has been shut down. The tax money that was not much in the past has become a big trouble this year.
"Why don't you talk to us about this matter? With more people and more strength, we can always come up with some solutions."
Li Chenglan complained, Zhao Shilang nodded aside, and Chai Tiannuo grinned bitterly:
"Taxation and money affect the foundation of the country, which is one of the symbols that the northwest belongs to China. It is better for the Ministry of War not to get involved in such matters."
"...Tiannuo is right, no martial artist can interfere with this kind of thing."
Zhao Shilang shook his head helplessly, and the general also sighed. Indeed, the Ministry of War and himself, the general, cannot interfere with such matters that involve the foundation of the country.
"Fortunately, the northwest tax is low. It is just a symbolic collection. The amount in my hand is not much different. With Chunwei's two hundred thousand taels, it is more than enough."
So that's it, the two nodded, no wonder Chai Xiaozi acted like this.
"It's just that I lost you. All the money I finally earned was used to fill a hole with Northwest. I should build a memorial arch with you, otherwise I will be sorry for your affection!"
General Li Chenglan sighed and said that Chai Tiannuo almost burst into tears:
"It's a shame. The memorial arches are all associated with chaste women. I don't want to be a chaste woman!"
"You unlearned boy, that's the chastity archway you're talking about, not the merit archway!"
While the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were watching the three people whispering, a large merit archway was under construction at the original site of Suolong Pass in the northwest.
The construction workers all looked like they were recovering from serious illness, but they were extremely serious about the work they were doing.
The head-cutting man of Shibalibao in the past, Chai Shixian of today, and the merit arch he built must be taken seriously!
"Chai Xiaozi and Xixi have great kindness!"
Mr. Zhong said with emotion that he had received a reply from Chai Tiannuo through the Qintian Prison, which contained only a few sentences:
"My dear gentlemen, please don't worry. I have paid the salary and the medicine is on the way. I wish the northwest is safe and peaceful!"
"If you have any business, please contact me in advance. Northwest is also my hometown!"
"Come and drink the soup, hurry up, otherwise your body and bones will never be able to hold on!"
A powerful roar sounded. Mr. Souchong looked at Taoist Master Qingfeng in the distance and said with a wry smile:
"The stranger's behavior is indeed strange. If it weren't for Chai Xiaozi, Master Qingfeng would never have interfered with the affairs in the northwest."
The old husband nodded:
"For an expert like him who has escaped from the outside world, all living things in the world are just stupid dogs. Everything depends on one's own mind."
Although the two were far apart, Qingfeng heard what they said clearly and couldn't help but mutter:
"Mao's intention, the cause and effect are here, it's not over yet, can someone escape?"
"ball!"
The three of them finished whispering, and the eldest brother, Emperor Tianqi, reluctantly announced the decision.
Chaitino took the same civil and military examination in Chunwei, but was not included in the admission quota.
Originally, the civil and military examinations were held at the same time in the spring period. Due to some reasons, the martial arts examinations were conducted first and then the civil examinations.
As soon as this news came out, Dahua was shocked because it was unheard of for one person to change the imperial examination!
"Husband, are you sure of victory here?"
When the stars were shining in the sky, Chai Tiannuo stood up to leave. Chai Man'er helped him straighten his clothes and asked worriedly.
The Dahua Imperial Examination was inherited from the previous dynasty and originally consisted of three levels: rural examination, general examination and palace examination.
But Emperor Taizu was the most annoyed with procrastination, so he directly issued an order to change the three levels to two levels.
In the autumn, candidates were admitted to the Gongyuan Academy of each province for reference. In the spring, all Jinshi candidates were admitted to Tongtian Academy in Luoyang, which directly eliminated the step of Gongshi.
However, such reforms have brought suffering to everyone in the world.
Originally, at most a few hundred tributes came to Beijing, but now it has become thousands of people. The total travel expenses are not a small amount.
"You girl, you know how to worry!"
Chaitino gently rubbed Man'er's head, turned around and left.
Looking at Chai Tiannuo walking away under the starry night, Chai Man'er also smiled. The martial arts test was held first. Her husband was Yalu Xian, who could be his opponent?
The Luoyang City Gate, which usually opens at midnight, opened at Mao today. The city defenders shouted at Chai Tiannuo who was riding into the city:
"I wish you the best in high school and a prosperous career in officialdom!"
"It's okay to pull him down. He is now a third-grade general, at least a fourth-grade general, and a third-grade general."
"The number one scholar is just a minor official of the seventh or eighth rank. What can I wish for you?"
Chai Tiannuo sneered, and all the soldiers grinned. This is not a bad thing. Normally, when the number one scholar is mentioned, one feels superior, but if one really thinks about it, he is much worse than his own master!
"Let's go, I won't talk nonsense with you!"
Waving his hand, Chaitino rode away, and a shout came from behind:
"Sir, I may win the first prize, so I can make my decision in the bet."
"Nonsense, I am invincible in Chunwei, and everyone I see is a child!"
As the horse moved further away, Chai Tiannuo's arrogant voice came, and the soldiers roared loudly:
"My lord Zhonglang is mighty!"
After being searched by the flattering invigilator, Chai Tiannuo was dumbfounded as soon as he entered Tongtianyuan. What the fuck is wrong with his mother!
Everywhere you look, there are buildings that look like earth temples that are half as tall as a person, one after another. There may be thousands of them.
At first glance, I feel shocked, but upon closer inspection, I can't help but curse. Many of the roofs are broken. If it rains, it will definitely leak.
Wouldn't it drive people crazy to stay in such an environment for three days?
"It's sloppy, I'm really sloppy."
If I had known this, I would not have agreed to the competition.
Two hundred thousand taels anyway, it's enough to meditate on a beautiful landscape painting and add a poem with artistic conception, so why bother to come here and suffer.
Shaking his head and taking care of himself, Chai Tiannuo entered the dormitory according to the sign number. He immediately became angry when he saw the dirty appearance inside. Damn it, there were actually lice and fleas gathering together. It was so disgusting!
"boom!"
Minghong fell and turned the house into dust, and the insects inside were shattered into pieces.
"This is what it looks like."
He pressed his hands in the air, and the ground immediately became extremely hard. He waved his hand again, and exquisite tables and chairs appeared, as well as a roof to provide shade. Chaitino nodded with satisfaction, this is how comfortable it is.
Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
