Yin Can was too lazy to argue with Xiao Han's two-pronged rhetoric and just gave him a big roll of his eyes.
Xiao Han naturally knew what was wrong with this, and angrily dropped the teacup in his hand and said, "By the way, you haven't said anything yet, how did you know I would come here?"
"How did I know you were here?" Yin Can heard this and glanced at Xiao Han, humming: "You made such a big noise in Lingnan, would it be weird if I didn't know your whereabouts?"
"Ahem, did I make a lot of noise? It shouldn't be too loud, right?" Xiao Han couldn't help but grinned when he heard what he said, and said with a guilty conscience.
"Isn't that big?"
Unexpectedly, when Yin Can heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and he lowered his voice and shouted: "I overthrew the King of Lingnan Feng An and forced him to retreat to the sea! I also wiped out several major local families one by one. Isn't this a big deal? You
Do you know what those people call you secretly now?"
"How do you call me?" Xiao Han asked with some anxiety.
"Aristocratic killer!" Yin Can looked at Xiao Han, and his heart was filled with helplessness. He could only say word by word: "The kind that kills one by one!"
"I haven't killed many aristocratic families! Like the Feng family, Xun Mansion, Nankang Mansion, those are all Xiao Li... Ahem, it was His Majesty who did it!" Xiao Han became anxious when he heard Yin Can's words.
, almost jumped up from his seat on the spot: "That bastard gave me a nickname!
Family killer?
Who the hell gave me the nickname Bird? If I put on this hat today, how would I be able to play happily with my friends in the court in the future?
I haven’t seen the Tang Dynasty today. The only people who can really be considered civilians are Liu Hongji, Xue Wanche and a few others! For example, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Li Ji, Tang Jian and others.
Behind them, there is a huge family, and with their background and wealth, I can definitely call them a family! If I cut off all contact with them because of this, then I can try Xiaolizi in the future.
It feels like being alone.
"Why are you anxious? This is not a nickname I gave you!" Seeing Xiao Han's furious look, Yin Can couldn't help but reveal a gloating smile, raised his hand, tapped the table lightly with his knuckles and said: "
Besides, there’s nothing wrong with this nickname. You haven’t forgotten what happened with the fire in Runzhou, right?”
"That fire..." When Xiao Han heard this word, he was startled for a moment, then turned his head sharply to look at Yin Can, and exclaimed in a low voice: "How did you know that I did it!"
"How do you know? Nonsense!" Yin Can rolled his eyes and said calmly: "In Runzhou, those people just offended you, and their house was burned to the ground.
Anyone with any brains can guess that it was you who did it! Besides, in the past few years in Runzhou, people from your Xiao family have been squeezing in, right?"
"This...ahem!!
Xiao Han's face turned green and pale for a while when Yin Can said it. Later, he slapped the table so hard that the teapots and cups on the table jumped, and the tea splashed everywhere. Then he said: "Huh huh."
, now that you know everything! Then don’t blame me for being cruel..."
As he said that, Xiao Han was already glaring at Yin Can with his vicious eyes! However, before he could say the last spicy word, Yin Can reached out his hand and casually grabbed a handful on the corner of the table full of tea.
, a large piece of broken wood suddenly broke off from the corner of the table, as if the strong old elm table was just made of paper!
"Ahem!" Looking at the table with a large corner missing, he checked the gap between his bones and the wooden board again. Xiao Han swallowed decisively and immediately changed his words: "That's all, it's your first offense, and it's your first offense.
If it was an unintentional mistake, you will not be held accountable, but this matter must not be mentioned to outsiders..."
"Telling to outsiders?" Looking at Xiao Han's cautious look, Yin Can laughed dumbly: "Telling to outsiders? Everyone who should know about this matter has already known it! It's useless to know what you shouldn't know! You
Tell me who else to tell!"
"That's true!" When Xiao Han heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He never expected that this matter could be kept secret, because at least Xiao Lizi already knew about it!
So, he sat back in his seat at this time, picked up his cup from the messy table, took a sip in a disguised manner and said: "Okay, don't just talk about me, let's talk about you. This year's college entrance examination, students
How are they?"
"This year's big exam?" Hearing Xiao Han mention the students in the academy, Yin Can became obviously more serious. He sat up straight and said to Xiao Han: "This year's big exam turned out to be about miscellaneous subjects, which our people are good at! But I don't know what happened next.
Why, it has been changed to focus on Jinshi subjects! The first exam is poetry, poetry and theory, which is not a good thing for our students in the academy!
Because our strength is to apply what we have learned, and for these superficial articles, we are naturally no better than those pedantic scholars with hanging beams and prickly buttocks, so I only let them participate in the county examination and the college examination. As for the township examination, we have to wait for another three years!"
"Didn't you take part in the provincial examination?" Xiao Han frowned slightly, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Having been in the Tang Dynasty for so long and personally offering advice to Xiao Lizi on the imperial examinations, Xiao Han naturally knew about these provincial examinations and general examinations.
For example, the county examination that Yin Can mentioned is, to put it bluntly, the first step is to select the reading seeds in the county! Once these people pass the examination, they can be regarded as children.
Of course, the so-called children do not refer to primary school students or children!
Don’t you see, there are many white-haired children in the Tang Dynasty, seven or eighty years old, and there are still many people who can’t even pass the exam for the lowest grade of children!
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, after a student passes the Tongsheng examination, the next step is the college examination!
If you pass the imperial examination, you will get a scholar's diploma, which can be used to participate in the real imperial examination that is held every three years!
Of course, if you pass the exam as a scholar and don’t want to go to higher education, that’s okay! Because your status as a scholar is also extremely noble!
Rent-free and tax-free! When you see an official, you don’t have to bow down. When you travel around, you don’t have to check the directions. If you want to make money, you can go to the yamen and become a clerk. If that doesn’t work, you can also set up a school in the village.
I don’t know how much better life is than that of an old farmer who faces the loess and his back to the sky, teaching and educating people, and receiving training at the same time!
Scholar, scholar! Those with outstanding talents can be called scholars!
Perhaps, in many TV shows and dramas of later generations, the scholar was belittled as worthless, as if he was really a useless scholar!
But in fact, a scholar can only be selected among hundreds or thousands of people! Coupled with the pitifully low popularity of knowledge in this era, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that a scholar is one in a million!
