There was nothing to say in the next day's exam. Since there were a lack of officers in the army, the test questions were not difficult. As long as you can recognize one or two thousand words, understand an article that is not too difficult, and write one for yourself for more than five hundred words, similar

The things that are written in later generations are mainly used for archery and horses. If you ride a horse and ride a horse for 500 steps, you can pass it smoothly. One stone of the arch, seven dou of the horse bow, and two dou of the crossbow, and seven dou of the archery is the test.

For Wang Zhongfu, these test questions were like a play, without any difficulty. Only Cui Liang, who came together, didn't know much about literacy. He felt that there were many other words in the composition and was nervous.

The sun sets in the west and everyone finishes the exam. Most of the candidates are full of confidence, and Xinye City is suddenly lively.

As soon as the few people returned to the inn, Shu Jiming came over and invited a few people to drink anyway.

When we arrived in front of Qingfeng Tower, Xu Shijie grabbed Shu Jiming who was about to enter and said, "Brother, we are not rich families. Drink two glasses of wine, no matter whether it is good or bad. There is no need to go to such a restaurant. If you have enough money, eat more meat.

.”

Shu Jiming said: "This Qingfenglou also has it in Xinyang Army City. I heard that it is a great place, with good wine, good food, and all kinds of lively."

Xu Shijie said: "Yes, everything is good in this restaurant. But the price is really high. When you go inside, you can cost at least two or three guan per person. Seven of us went in and had a meal, and there was no more than a few dozen guan.

.”

Shu Jiming was startled: "Is it so expensive? No matter how good the wine is, five hundred cents are enough!"

Xu Shijie said: "Qingfenglou is one of the high-end restaurants under the Fufu Division, which is not a joke! Xinye is a military city, and there are few businessmen, so there are only Qingfenglou, a high-end restaurant. In prosperous places, such as Xiangyang, Fufu Division

There are seven high-end restaurants under the jurisdiction of the Ministry, and Qingfeng Building costs less money."

Wang Zhongfu was curious when he heard this and asked, "It would be scary to eat two or three cents of a meal. If it is more expensive, how much does it cost per person?"

Xu Shijie said: "I am from a poor family and I have never been to such places before. But I heard that it is expensive like Peach Blossom Land. As long as I go in, a person will cost at least ten cents of money. Without a net worth of tens of thousands of yuan, ordinary people will have

Don't dare to get close!"

The few people were shocked when they heard this. A meal cost ten yuan, but I don’t know who the guests were there. Wang Zhongfu’s family is so big that it is considered a rich family. After hearing the price, he was also shocked.

Xu Shijie said: "If you say it is cheap, the most common thing is the fireworks on earth. I heard that it was built by myself after policing Xiangyang. The dishes there are rich and the prices are not expensive. People like us are the most suitable to go there."

Shu Jiming originally wanted to show his heroism, but after hearing the price of Qingfeng Tower, he had no idea. He said, "Since that's the case, we will go to the world of fireworks. There are also Xinyang Army here, but we have never been there."

While talking, several people walked to the Baishui shore. It was already spring in March, and the wind was filled with the breath of spring. A red sun shone in the west, sprinkling the sky with rays of clouds. The shimmering water surface was filled with golden light.

Xu Shijie took a deep breath: "I haven't smelled the fireworks here for a long time. Many misses!"

Several people found a table by the river and sat down. The servant came over and filled the tea with several people. He said, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Shu Jiming said: "When you get here, you can relax and eat whatever you want! We will not return until we get drunk tonight!"

The fireworks in the world mainly make three types of dishes. One is barbecue, and then cold dishes, and stir-fry. In addition to barbecue and cold dishes, all other dishes ordered here are hot and stir-frying, which is a major feature. When you walk near the stall,

At first glance, I saw a row of woks, and a man weighed a spoon behind me. The fire filled the pot, rolling constantly, changing in various shapes, which was very spectacular.

Barbecue not only includes dishes such as kebabs, grilled waist, etc., but also includes roast chicken, roast duck, roast quail, etc. Generally speaking, the colors here are very rich and simple to make. The ingredients are required to be fresh and the chef is in charge of the heat.

Several people ordered thirty skewers of roasted lamb, a plate of crispy fried loach, a plate of pepper and salt quail, a plate of cumin lamb, and a plate of green onion and tofu. Shu Jiming ordered another roasted catfish, so he asked the servant to drink.

The servant said, "We have the best plum wine and osmanthus wine here. Which kind of thing the guests want?"

Shu Jiming said: "Two days ago, I drank a kind of soju wine, which was light green and extremely strong. I wonder what kind of wine?"

The servant said, "Our name is Zhuyeqing. This wine is easy to drink, but it is very strong and many people are drunk. If the customer wants it, there is naturally in the store, but the price is slightly more expensive. We get what you pay for, and we are the most here.

It's affordable."

Xu Shijie asked: "How much does ordinary soy wine cost? How much does bamboo leaf green cost?"

The servant said, "Returning guests, usually two liters of soybean wine per bottle, one hundred and ten cents. The bamboo leaf green is also one bottle and two liters, one hundred and seventy cents."

Shu Jiming whispered loudly: "Since that's the case, I'll bring four bottles and drink one of us! We won't be drunk and don't return!"

Xu Shijie waved his hand quickly: "Since it is a strong wine, how can one person drink a liter? The store owner, it's enough to get a bottle!"

Shu Jiming said: "Duzhu, don't save money for me! You have seen my wallet, and you have dozens of coins of money, so you can afford it!"

Xu Shijie sighed and said, "Brother, you don't drink strong wine often, and you don't know how powerful it is. Most people don't say that one person drinks one bottle, and eight people drink one bottle is not a small amount. Don't worry, if it is

If you don’t drink it well, let the store take it again.”

Most wine cities in the Song Dynasty sold by bottles, one bottle and two liters. This is done to ensure that it is not easy to deteriorate and facilitate transportation, and the most important thing is to facilitate the government to collect taxes. Of course, the promotion at this time was smaller than that in later generations, which was not enough.

Seven hundred milliliters. Xu Shijie is not a person who is addicted to alcohol. He thinks that a bottle of wine is enough for the seven people present to drink.

Of course, there are also loose wines sold in the store. The commonly said one-point wine is four liters, and white wine cannot be used in this unit, but it is generally used. It’s just that the servant looks like a few people, and it’s not that there is a shortage of money, so of course he has to drink it from the bottle.

After arguing, the servant left. Soon, he brought a bottle of wine and slapped the mud seal. He didn't fill the food for several people. Loaches, quails, tofu and other dishes came. The seven people just raised their wine bowls and came.

All other dishes such as lamb skewers were served.

After taking a sip of wine, Shu Jiming wiped his mouth and said, "The food here is so fast!"

Xu Shijie said: "They are different here. Because there are many people, the meat skewers are always grilled, and there is no need to wait for the customers to order food. Most of the rest are prepared, so how can they waste time?"

Several people were drinking and chatting. The sun sets on the mountain, the moon comes up, and there are more silkworms in the world.

Wang Zhongfu said to Shu Jiming: "Today's exam, I see my brother's skillful archery and horse skills, and his arrows are worthless. No one in the exam room is better than you."

Shu Jiming sighed: "I have loved swords, guns, sticks since I was a child. My family has a little money, and I learn to ride horses and shoot archery when I am a little sensible. It's not that I boast, but that's not many nearby prefectures and counties can compare to me. I just don't like reading since I was a child.

, only know how to write his own name. I wanted to take the military academy two years ago, but I only had to read a literacy here. There was no way, so I hired a gentleman to study hard at home for more than a year, and finally I could understand an article."

Xu Shijie said: "You think you did what you did today?"

Shu Jiming was a little depressed: "If you have seen the skills of archery, horses, and martial arts, you will see that there is no problem. However, it is too difficult for me to do something. I roughly know about it. I am afraid that there will be no article in five hundred words.

Twenty or thirty words! Not to mention, I don’t know, but it’s actually wrong. You guys, how can you win this kind of article?”

Xu Shijie said: "Don't worry. The military academy exam articles are just confirming that you can read and write. It's not that you can get a Jinshi exam. You don't need to be very good. Even if you have more words and you are very skilled in martial arts, you should be admitted."

Cui Liang said: "I don't know much literacy, and I feel that there are many typos in the article, and I'm also nervous."

Speaking of this, Shu Jiming sighed and took a sip of wine and said, "I finished the exam today, and the official of the bow and horse exam asked me specifically for my name. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to appreciate me. But I didn't

Be victorious!”

After saying that, I tapped the table, which was extremely disappointed.

Wang Zhongfu said: "Since you ask about your name, I will be interested in recording you. It's okay to have more words. If you enter the military academy, you will learn it. In fact, what's the point of being illiterate among other troops? Many officials like illiterate."

Shortly after the founding of the Song Dynasty, Taizu once said that he wanted to let all the martial artists in the world study. However, when Taizong was in power, the policy changed a little. When Zhenzong was in power, it changed completely. Zhenzong used military generals and deliberately promoted illiterate people.

This trend has a very profound influence. The Song Dynasty was a little better. Many generals became senior officials and were interested in reading and literacy. For example, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong could write poems after becoming senior officials. Yue Fei even left a few famous poems. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, they went to the Ming and Qing dynasties to write poems.

At that time, this trend became more and more prosperous, and many generals could not read a single word. For the emperor, illiterate people would not have many thoughts and would be reliable to use. But for the army, being an illiterate general will directly affect the combat effectiveness of the army and even more affect the

Military experience inheritance.

Shu Jiming knew that his scores were not good at literary exams. However, the martial arts exam went too smoothly, so the examiner came to ask about his name specifically, and he had a glimmer of luck in his heart. He planned that if he really passed the exam, he would try his best to learn to recognize words after entering the military academy.
