Even though he absolutely rejected the Confucian classics and histories, Ye An still picked up the book and recited it constantly.
There is no way, the values of this era come from the thoughts of the saints before the year before last, and even the imperial examinations test these things.
Compared with the college entrance examination where thousands of troops and horses cross a single-plank bridge, the imperial examination in this era is more terrifying.
The imperial examination was a "big competition" that all scholars in the dynasty had to participate in. Almost every scholar had to participate in the imperial examination once or even several times in his life.
Especially in the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination became something that scholars flocked to. It was the only way for them to break the class ceiling.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, scholars were aloof existences. Scholars were the object of unity for the imperial power, and could even be said to be the ruling class. In an era of limited resources and an era of backward productivity, the status of scholars also represented power and wealth.
This is a truth that has not changed since ancient times. The perfect imperial examination system in the Song Dynasty gave ordinary people the space and opportunities to move forward.
Even Ye An originally planned to enter the scholar class through the imperial examination so as to enjoy the beautiful life of this era.
But with Ye An's current status, it would be ridiculous to talk about taking part in the imperial examination. The reason is very simple. He is about to obtain a title and official status.
The former gave him a very high social status, while the latter gave him rights that ordinary people could not get. At this time, participating in the imperial examination was competing with ordinary scholars for places, which was shameful to the world.
Of course, the reason why Ye An obtained these things was all due to his contribution. Whether it was potatoes, sweet potatoes or the "Disaster Relief Book", they had become his capital.
Ye An was not ashamed, on the contrary, he was full of gratitude. He was grateful for that beautiful era and the great people who had been great.
Nowadays, studying and studying are not to cope with the imperial examination, but to cope with the future life. In Wang Yuan's words, the most shameful thing is the lack of morality.
The so-called virtue is the Confucianism followed in this era.
It is a good thing for Ye An to have a beautiful and handsome young lady by his side. It is so pleasing to the eyes! What's more, this young lady is also full of curiosity.
As for Tie Er, a tall and thick man, he has basically been reduced to the status of a handyman and the guardian of the hospital. Even if the royal gang has nothing to do, they can still call him around.
As Ye An's steward, although there is no mansion yet, the Wang Gang has successfully stepped into the role.
Almost all matters, big and small, are handled by him, and he can do them very appropriately.
Whether it was arranging the room or guiding Ye An, it was almost done to the extent that Ye An could live a good life even if he was a "vegetative".
Prepare everything in detail? What should be fought for will not be snatched by Wang Yi, the steward of the Wang family? What should not be fought for will never be touched. Ye An thinks this is the ideal housekeeper? It is also a person's talent.
As for Tie Er... Ye An discovered that besides being good at eating? He was scolded by the Wang Gang as a big-bellied man, he also seemed to have a boxing skill that was difficult to display.
Ye An shook his head? Think of Quan as a facade man. I heard that yamen in Tokyo often bring a few fancy arms to show off...
When you arrive at Guancheng in Zhengzhou, you have already entered the Gyeonggi Road of the Northern Song Dynasty. The so-called Gyeonggi Road is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. It is mainly Kaifeng Prefecture, and analyzes Jingdong Road Caozhou, Jingxi Road Chenzhou, Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, and Huazhou.
It belongs to and governs Chenliu County, Kaifeng Prefecture.
The fundamental purpose of this is to strengthen the defense of Tokyo City and centralize local military and political affairs to the central government as much as possible to facilitate management.
So the current Zhengzhou Guancheng is considered a municipality directly under the Central Government of the Northern Song Dynasty? The degree of prosperity far exceeds that of previous Yangcheng County, Mi County and other places.
Guancheng is actually a county town, but as it is the seat of the state government of Zhengzhou, its status is naturally different. Not only can you see the prosperous city, but you can also see the imperial army...
After getting off the ox cart, Ye An was a little surprised when he looked at the Guanyi in front of him. This is the Guanyi in Guancheng, Zhengzhou. It is not small in scale. It is completely comparable to a large main store.
The houses are exquisite and there are many soldiers? There are actually people who know Tie Er among them.
The Wang Gang took Tie Er and Zhan'er to look for a separate courtyard in the Guanyi. Such large Guanyi usually has small courtyards to entertain nobles? And there are quite a few of them.
"Tie Jia Erlang? How come you are here in Guancheng again? Could it be that you have delayed your mission again? Whose young lady is this? Come quickly and serve the grandfathers!"
A trace of anger flashed in Tie Er's eyes. But looking at Ye An in the distance, he took a deep breath and continued to laugh naively: "Brother Liu is joking. Tie Er went to Tokyo with the nobleman because he was not on duty at Songyang Station.
City, cancel your military status!"
"Qi, did you follow the noble man? What noble man can cancel the military status of the Xiang Army set by You Xiaojie Army? Could it be that he was deceived by the thieves!"
Someone on the side immediately shouted: "That's it! This fool has been deceived! Isn't this lady your sister? This place is not something you can enter. It's more serious to go to my brother's place to have a drink!"
While he was talking, Wang Hao and his family entered the Yi Cheng. The originally impressive Yi Cheng immediately acted like a flattering turtle receiving guests, extending his hand and pretending to lead Wang Hao and others in.
He also didn’t forget to call the soldiers to help him: “Those soldiers are not doing anything in broad daylight, so they are making so much noise?!”
Several soldiers hurriedly agreed, and at the same time they saw Ye An coming over after talking to Wang Hao just now.
Seeing Ye An approaching, the soldier surnamed Liu quickly stepped forward and said loudly: "Is the young man following the same path as Bachelor Wang?"
Ye An smiled and said: "How can I accompany Bachelor Wang and his family when they come to Beijing? They came to Beijing with Senior Official Lan."
"Master Lan?"
Some of the soldiers are a little confused. Only high-ranking eunuchs in the palace can be called "high officials", but I didn't see any high officials coming today?!
Lan Jizong got down from the bullock cart, and the imperial city officials riding around him immediately stepped forward to protect the bullock cart behind him.
The Imperial City Secretary's belt was thrown into the arms of Yi Cheng, who had just settled Wang Hao's family, and then he heard a scream: "Grandpa Tian..."
A sharp look instantly made him dare not say anything. He nodded and bowed and whispered: "Sir, the place has been arranged. It is a separate courtyard. It is very safe!"
Lan Jizong ignored him and greeted Ye An: "Nephew Ye Xian, come to a certain house for a drink later!"
Ye An's mouth twitched in pain. These old guys almost always drink their own wine in the name of drinking. The key is that the wine is not that good!
Wang Yuan and Xuan Chengzi were the last to appear. They stretched and handed the things in their arms to Yi Cheng, who was a little dull, asking him to keep thinking about what day it was today and how could so many noble people be born?
"Mr. Guanmiao...have you come down the mountain?"
It was as if everyone knew Xuanchengzi's name. Yi Cheng's face was full of admiration and respect. In his eyes, Xuanchengzi was an immortal, a person who could enter the palace and become a saint.
Liu Depubing, surnamed Liu, trembled and took the body suit from Ye An, but saw that there was nothing on it. Apart from describing the physical characteristics, there was only one sentence: I studied under Mr. Guanmiao, surnamed Ye Ming'an, Taoist name Jingshen, in the second year of Tiansheng
Registered in Yangcheng County on August 23rd.
But these words were enough. He quickly handed the body back to Ye An with both hands and said: "This villain has eyes but cannot see Mount Tai. I wonder if he is Mr. Guanmiao's disciple..."
"What do you think about teasing my female family members?"
Pu Bing, surnamed Liu, wanted to say something else, but Ye An didn't give him a chance to explain at all. He kicked him away with a smile and shouted: "Hit me, Tie Er! Beating him to death is useless!"
