When it comes to Zhang Fenghui, many people may not be aware of it. But when it comes to General Songpo, most people probably have some understanding of his resume. General Songpo led the New Army Uprising in Yunnan Province during the Xinhai period. And Zhang Fenghui, and him
Same, at the same time, he led the new army uprising in Qin Province...
Bai Gui put away the letter, wrapped it in cloth, folded it several layers, and put it inside the package.
What is a network of people?
Qin Province is very large. At this time, Qin Province has a population of nearly 10 million. If you can remove 90% of the illiterates, remove some low-status Confucian scholars, and use the scholar's reputation as the threshold, the elite will become very few.
There are very few, not even one in a thousand. Once you enter this circle, it is not difficult to meet a person who will be famous in later generations.
General Zhang and General Songpa were also scholars.
Condensing his wandering thoughts, Bai Gui exchanged the Japanese study manual for later generations from the mirror. In this gap before the visit, he must not give up studying Japanese. This is not just for the government examination.
Since Japan's Meiji Restoration, the Japanese at this time has been different from ancient Japanese, which was called Han by the Japanese.
The methods of studying and learning Japanese in later generations have become so advanced that it is difficult to add to them.
With a better Japanese textbook, learning Japanese will be easier with twice the result.
Spreading out the book with the scent of ink, he studied for a while and suddenly felt that it was hard. He still had the foundation of traditional Chinese studies in studying Confucian classics. He only needed to study hard again, but he couldn't get started with Japanese.
He thought for a while, and the Kunlun Mirror appeared in his mind again. There were lines of simplified Chinese characters written on the golden mirror. In the column of talent, there were three paragraphs: "Diligence can make up for weakness", "The more you work, the more you gain", and "Reviewing the past to learn the new"
, are all his talents for work.
Talent for meritorious deeds represents acquired hard work.
"With the approval of the county chief, Mr. Zhu, the appreciation of the ancient county magistrate, the praise of Mr. Xu, the closeness of the villagers, the Taoist merits have also increased..."
He took a deep breath and looked at the column of Dao Gong. Dao Gong seemed to be taken from "Heaven Rewards Diligence". Every achievement he achieved would increase the points of Dao Gong in the mirror. His Tao Gong at the moment had accumulated to two points.
Ten points, the most is to get the county case head, which is a full ten points.
"Do you want to redeem the talent of Bailing Baili?"
There was a faint voice in his heart, and he nodded in agreement.
In an instant, he felt that his thinking speed was a level higher than that of his usual self. If it was said that everything he gained before was gathered into a tower, then now, as Lu Youyou said, "The articles are made by nature, and the skills are perfect."
Got it by chance."
The Taoist points were all gone, and he suddenly felt a little lost and hopeful.
Worry about gains and losses.
The mirror in his mind disappeared, and he looked at the Japanese again. The rough pages became a little simpler and easier.
No matter which country or place we are in, the cultures always have some similarities.
This is also the reason why geniuses like Zhao Yuanren learn other languages so quickly. It’s just that most people find it difficult to catch the similarities, but now Bai Gui has textbooks written by his predecessors, and he has the "hundreds of talents"
Talent, it is much easier to read this Japanese book.
However, no matter how talented you are, you still need someone to teach you, otherwise your country slang will be laughed at.
For example, Japanese Kyoto people will laugh at the bad accents of other places.
When learning English, a cockney accent was regarded as the best, but my sister's Kenguo accent was discriminated against as a country person.
After a tiring journey all morning, and in the afternoon socializing with locals, and reading for a while, Bai Gui dozed off.
He slept all night. When it was time to get in the morning, he woke up before dawn.
The biological clock woke him up.
He walked out of the house. The familiar countryside was very different from the academy in the county. Every scene and thing was different. The floor of the academy was made of stone, and the roadsides were filled with pines, cypresses, winter plums, and bamboos.
The tree planted at home is a persimmon tree. On a small branch pressed against the wall tiles, tiny flower buds can still be seen in twos and threes.
Wait until autumn, and sweet persimmons will grow.
"At this time, there should be someone in the ancestral hall's school going to study early!"
Bai Gui guessed.
He was always the first Mengtong to go to the ancestral hall to study. He and other Mengtong were also forced to be rushed by their parents early in the morning, which was extremely involved. At that time, most of the Mengtong in the village yawned and complained about him, but they were also very involved.
When I got to school, I sat down and studied hard.
He touched the black, put on his shoes, picked up the gifts he bought in the county town, pushed open the fence door, and walked out.
His hometown at the east end of the village was a little far away from the ancestral hall. He walked for about half a quarter of an hour and arrived. When he met him, he saw a lame old man rushing back towards the ancestral hall with an extinguished lantern.
"Uncle, I haven't slept yet!"
He greeted me familiarly.
"This... this can't be done." The lame old man looked at the box of snacks that Bai Gui forced him to push, and quickly declined. This box of snacks cost at least one or two yuan. He was a lowly man, but he couldn't afford it.
.
"Um, just take it if you want. I've been using the stove for so long..."
Bai Gui couldn't help but put it into the lame old man's hand and walked away without saying anything.
The stove in the ancestral hall belongs to the clan, not the lame old man. But it is always used as a token of affection. The box of snacks he gave to the lame old man was not expensive, but it was not cheap either. If he gave it too much, he would also be a lame old man.
I mean, he can't bear it, it's not that big of a favor,
Ancestral hall.
The building to the east is dimly lit by candlelight.
Xu Xiucai took out a cloth bag from the bookcase, took out a few red dates, and sprinkled it into the water where the rice porridge was being cooked on the stove. The rolling white waves mixed with a few red dates, and the red dates gradually became full and plump.
He stared at the porridge.
School teachers and ordinary people have somewhat different meal times in the morning.
After a while, the door was pushed open.
"Sir, there were many people yesterday, so I will visit again this morning. Please don't blame me, sir."
Don’t forget the well digger when you are drinking water.
For Xu Xiucai, Bai Gui remembered his kindness.
Two small and large bags, a few strips of smoked and dried fine bacon, some pickled dried fish, all wrapped in oil paper, as well as some seasonal fruits, and two slaughtered white pheasants, this is Bai Gui
Bai Youde prepared it after returning.
Mr. Xu nodded slightly and accepted these gifts without refusing.
"Come, sit down."
He pulled out a bench and asked Bai Gui to sit down.
The two chatted for a long time, ranging from classics and meanings to the county examination. They knew the questions of the ancient county magistrate examination and sighed again and again. At the same time, what surprised Bai Gui was that Xu Xiucai, who had always been steady and even-tempered, actually said something quite angrily.
A very irreverent statement, full of dissatisfaction with the current situation.
After talking for a while, tiny bits of sunlight filtered in from the window, reflecting golden light on the porridge.
After taking a sip of porridge, Bai Gui said: "Sir, now that the imperial examination has changed, you must make plans early. This time the government examination has added the subject of translation, and the provincial examination will definitely be different next year."
This is also one of the purposes of his trip.
I don't want Xu Xiucai to be trapped in a corner anymore. This imperial examination can no longer be done by just reading the Four Books and Five Classics.
