Chapter 689 The story that my sister-in-law and brother-in-law can't tell
If the bell rings late, the people will not dare to answer it.
But seeing that she seemed to be very talkative, everyone couldn't help but ask, "What are the benefits you mentioned?"
"It still depends on the specifics, but when the time comes, if nothing else, we will definitely start building schools, and then students will be able to go to school and learn to read."
As soon as Literary was spoken, everyone became more interested.
They also heard that everyone in Dachu could go to school, but the people in Wu said it was false, and they never thought it might be true.
"After we become literate, can we also take part in Da Chu's imperial examination in the future? Are there any restrictions?"
Those who have read the book cannot help but ask.
I asked anxiously.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Shengwan answered very cheerfully, "There is no restriction. After you take the initiative to register and receive the Dachu identity, you will become a Dachu citizen. Like other places in Dachu, both men and women can register to take the imperial examination."
"Really?" The scholar was excited.
"Of course it's true. This is what the Queen said herself. If you want to take the exam, you can prepare now. Study hard and take the exam. Now is the time for Da Chu to hire people."
As soon as these words are said, it gives people the feeling that as long as they take the exam seriously and pass the exam, they can be reused by the court and change their destiny and eat official meals.
Even the old man was moved when he heard this, but he was still skeptical, "Can the original people of Wu really pass the exam?"
Zhong Shengwan nodded affirmatively, "Of course, I understand your concerns, old man, that we may say one thing and do another. Don't worry, this won't happen."
"We are very much looking forward to being able to pass the exam in our city. After all, the more people who pass the exam, the more achievements our governor and magistrate will be able to show, and His Majesty will be satisfied."
Zhong Shengwan joked, "Only when His Majesty is satisfied can we continue to be promoted, right?"
As soon as this was said, everyone couldn't help but laugh, which diluted the previous shadow of Caishikou.
Zhong Shengwan took the opportunity to look at the few women in the crowd, "I also hope to have more female colleagues soon. There are too few women among my colleagues. They are all big men. I really have nothing in common with them. I also want to be with them."
The nagging female colleague.”
As soon as Zhong Shengwan finished speaking, everyone became even more excited, especially the women.
The status of women in the Wu Kingdom is not low, but they have not yet entered the officialdom. Seeing Zhong Shengwan who talks freely and confidently, I am naturally moved.
They also wanted to watch the next bell night. Seeing her eyes shining brightly, they felt their hearts surging.
The people who originally came to the city gate were all people who were hesitant and wanted to escape. However, after Shen Cangzhu and Zhong Sheng spoke a few words late, 80% of the people gave up the idea of leaving.
Not only did he give up, he was also eager to try to find a future for himself.
In the past, if you wanted to become an official, you had to have connections and rely on recommendations. Now that you can rely on yourself, who doesn't want to work hard on his own?
If you can't fight it yourself, future generations can fight it too.
They have lived in the Kingdom of Wu for generations. They don’t know what they will do if they escape, but if they stay, they can still find a future for their descendants.
They were defeated, but they didn't actively commit treason, so...there's no need to feel too guilty, right?
The atmosphere became lively, and Zhong Shengwan and Shen Cangzhu also knew that it was okay.
The city gate guard looked on and admired. The incident at the city gate showed that the two of them were not simple.
Zhong Shengwan didn't pay attention to his amazed gaze, and her eyes fell on the old man who asked the question at the beginning and thought a lot and deeply.
"Old man, we have said what needs to be said. What do you think? Are you still leaving the city?"
After the bell sounded, he moved aside to clear the way out of the city. "If you want to leave the city, please do so now."
"It's just that if you leave the city now, it will be deemed that you have automatically given up your Dachu household registration. It will not be easy for you to come back again. In order to avoid spies sneaking in, in the next month, before we fully accept and understand the situation, after leaving the city You are not allowed to come back.”
The old man was silent.
I thought I would be stopped and embarrassed, but the way out of the city was revealed in front of me so easily.
But he hesitated at this moment. If they went out, no one knew what was waiting for them.
In the city, although everyone looked anxious and uneasy, at least they were safe.
He also knew very well what it meant to voluntarily give up Dachu household registration. Dachu soldiers were kind, but they could also be ruthless.
If they want to escape, people will let them go once, but they will never give them face all the time.
By then I will regret it and I won’t be able to come back even if I want to.
What's more, these two people had something to say.
The old man is older and has seen many things and people, so he can still judge people accurately.
Shen Cangzhu and Zhong Shengwan looked young, but they were capable and skillful. More importantly, they had clear eyes. They were definitely not the kind of people who preyed on the common people.
If nothing else, he is much better than the previous governor of Wu State.
The previous county governor insisted at first that before the city was broken, the people left the entire city and ran away.
It shouldn't be difficult to live under Shen Cangzhu and Zhong Shengwan.
The old man did not move, and the city gate guard said with a wink, "There are people behind you, make a decision quickly."
As soon as he said this, the people behind the old man moved aside reflexively, "We are not going out of the city, we are just here to take a look."
They have to think carefully about whether it will be difficult to come back if they go out.
The old man looked back, smiled bitterly, and suddenly took a step back.
The city gate guard raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you going to leave the city?"
"Not coming out."
You have said so, why are you going out of the city? Are you going out of the city to suffer hardship?
The people who wanted to go out and were suspicious of them were calmed down in this way.
Shen Cangzhu and Zhong Sheng were late and retired after their success.
The two of them collaborated for the first time, and the effect was pretty good, and it felt... pretty good too.
Shen Cangzhu glanced at Zhong Shengwan, and couldn't help but think of what Chu Xingchen said before, that men and women should work together so that they are not tired, and the two swords are perfect.
He chuckled slightly.
After returning to the carriage late with Zhong Sheng, they were about to continue into the city. Unexpectedly, they heard the people looking at them, and suddenly someone whispered curiously.
"Are the Sheriff and the Sheriff a couple?"
"I don't know, but the two of them match each other very well."
It was said to be a whisper, but Shen Cangzhu and Zhong Shengwan heard it.
Suddenly the corners of their mouths froze.
Shen Cangzhu thought to himself, what is the match? He only has His Majesty in his heart.
Zhong Shengwan thought to herself that she had already decided to end her relationship, and her biggest wish in this life was to find Xiao Ming.
After all her experiences, she had never thought of finding a man to get married to, and even if she was crazy and wanted to get married, it would never be Shen Cangzhu.
They are not the same people at all.
Moreover, Shen Cangzhu was her sister-in-law's former man.
Her brother and Shen Cangzhu are still His Majesty's kings.
Thinking of this, Zhong Shengwan suddenly discovered that her relationship with Shen Cangzhu was quite strange and complicated.
She is now relieved of her past a lot, but this does not mean that a child of a family like Shen Cangzhu, who values the innocence of a woman's birth, will accept such speculation.
He would definitely feel uncomfortable being involved with her, so he would have to pay more attention to avoiding taboos in the future.
Shen Cangzhu had the same idea. He felt that a woman had entered the officialdom. Faced with such speculation, he felt uncomfortable. He would have to pay more attention in the future to avoid any further rumors.
Shen Cangzhu really didn't expect that everyone would say this. He was even shocked when he heard their words.
Although she and Shen Cangtong had already fallen out, Shen Cangtong had a relationship with Zhong Shengwan and Xiao Ming.
Although she is not a sister-in-law, she is almost like a younger sister-in-law.
