Abandoned Prince Survival Guide
Chapter 143
This was the first time that the exam was held nationwide. When the students in Lingbei received the notification, there were only three months left before the exam. Therefore, this time, instead of taking a comprehensive exam, they conducted it by subject.
Subjects include political theory, agriculture and water conservancy, laws and regulations, medicine, martial arts, literature and art, science, etc. Among them, literature and art include poetry, calligraphy, painting, music, etc., and science includes arithmetic, astronomy, investigation of things, and fortune.
Xiao Yu hopes that culture and technology will blossom in an all-round way, instead of emphasizing literature and despising science, he wants to discover all kinds of capable people and strange people, so that talented people can give full play to their strengths.
Naturally, the number of people applying for political theory is the largest, and there are some subjects that no one applies for in many places.But it doesn't matter, as long as there is a demand in this regard, students will adjust their learning direction according to this direction and hobbies.
As for the admission ratio, it is determined according to the number of applicants from various places.The national exam uses the same set of test papers, but it needs to take into account the uneven teaching levels in different regions, and encourage students in backward areas to change their destiny through learning.
In mid-November, the results of the preliminary competition were announced. Some students who are far away from the capital can prepare to go to Beijing to take the exam in advance.
This year, the drought lasted for a long time, from July to November, and there was no heavy rain in the north.
The disasters in Yongzhou and Yuzhou were the most serious, and there was no grain harvest. The people who had been plundered by Xiao Yi for many years had very little food in their homes, and they were about to run out of food.
However, the government quickly reassured everyone, saying that they would not let the people go hungry.The government shipped a lot of grain from Lingnan to sell, and strictly prohibited grain price increases.
The government distributes food in a unified manner, and distributes food coupons according to the size of each family’s population. Buying food with the coupons, a family can only buy once, and if the money is not enough, they can pay it on credit.
This is to prevent people from buying too much. After all, the government must ensure that every family has food to eat, and people cannot starve to death. It also prevents people from buying food from the government and reselling it.
Although the north of Anguo suffered from a famine, since the south was not affected by the disaster, the regulation of the two places did not have much impact on the national economy and people's livelihood.
However, the situation in the Eastern and Western Rong was quite different. After the drought and locust disaster, the land was barren for thousands of miles, and the people ate up all the food in their homes and could not continue.
In order to survive, many Han people in the north fled south quietly and entered the territory of Anguo, hoping to get a bite to eat. Many people starved to death before arriving in Anguo. It is not uncommon for them to change their children and eat See.
And even if they entered Anguo, what could they do? The place where they came in was the same as their hometown, and they also suffered from drought and locust plagues, but they barely survived by relying on government relief.
When people are in a state of hunger, they will become crazy, and many people even start stealing, looting, smashing and burning, and once fell into chaos.
The local government had to ask the border guards to maintain order, and even drove people back directly.Many cities on the border did not dare to open their gates, for fear that these refugees might be mixed with enemy spies.
Xiao Yu frowned when he heard about this situation. Even though they sold a lot of grain to Dong Rong, the number of refugees in Dong Rong was not much less than that in Xi Rong. Sure enough, the Han people were not considered human beings in the eyes of the Hu people, and they were not worthy of rescue.
Min Chong asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do with these refugees? Are they still sent to the southern states?" He obviously knew Xiao Yu well.
Xiao Yu sighed: "Send it to Jiangzhou, Xiangzhou, Guangzhou and Yazhou. These places are sparsely populated and need labor to cultivate wasteland." Of course he likes labor, but at this juncture, he doesn't have much Surplus food.
Min Chong said: "I am afraid that there will not be enough food, and our food storage budget has no more to spare."
Xiao Yu said, "Go to the aristocratic family to buy grain again." They had already bought a large amount of grain from the landlords in the south, in order to cope with the drought in the north.
"I'm afraid they will hold on to their grain and refuse to sell it." Although large-scale grain transactions and grain price increases are now strictly prohibited, in the face of interests, some people will definitely take risks and secretly smuggle grain to northern countries.
Xiao Yu said: "Then the government will come forward to force the requisition." The government is a violent institution, and it has to use extreme methods at extreme times.
"Minister obeys the order!" Min Chong got the token, and the next thing will be easy to handle.
Xiao Yu knew that when the refugees came, the robbers would follow immediately.The Han people in the north have the lowest social status and have always been enslaved by the Hu people. They chose to escape and beg for food during the famine, and those Hu people who suffered from the famine would never be so low-key and would rob them if they had nothing to eat. The most common way of dealing with Han people.
Sure enough, starting from November, the northern border began to be harassed by cavalry from the East and West, among which the West troops were more frequent and larger in scale.
Pei Lin had already arranged heavy guards on the border. Once there was looting, there would be troops to stop it immediately.
In early December, a 2000-strong Xirong cavalry plundered a county seat in Liangzhou during the day.Xiao Yao was training nearby that day, when he saw the smoke of the beacon fire, he led his cavalry to rescue him.
The two cavalry teams fought hand-to-hand, relying on the superiority in numbers, the Anguo cavalry successfully drove away the Xirong soldiers.
This incident became the fuse of the war between the two countries.Those Xi Rong soldiers who came to rob before were dozens or hundreds of people, which can only be regarded as bandits robbery, but this time they are the regular army of Xi Rong.
When Pei Linzhi received the news, he even asked Xiao Yu to send troops to Xirong. Xiao Yu said that all logistics had been arranged and he was waiting for their triumphant return.
After preparing for so long, it would be a waste of a good opportunity if he didn't fight.
On December 20th, Pei Linzhi and Xiao Yao, who met in Liangzhou, held an oath meeting and led an army of [-] troops to Xirong.
Since the founding of Anguo, it has always been in a state of passive defense against the Hu regime in the north, and has never taken the initiative to attack, so this time Anguo sent troops to Xirong, which shocked Xirong.
The first battle they fought was to attack Ankang County. Ankang County was once an important border town of Anguo, with impregnable walls, and was later occupied by Xi Rong.
Pei Linzhi didn't want to make too many sacrifices, and planned to use the method of siege to force the Xirong people to commit crimes. However, after being besieged for a day, the Xirong people began to challenge his bottom line. They even arrested the Han people in the city and threatened them to retreat. Otherwise just cut off their heads.
That night, Pei Linzhi blew up the city wall of Ankang with a bomb, and wiped out all the tens of thousands of Xirong guards in the city.When fighting with Xiao Yi before, Xiao Yu asked not to kill soldiers who did not resist as much as possible, after all, they are all compatriots.
Fighting against the Xirong people obviously does not have this kind of psychological burden. The Hu people are afraid of power but not virtuous, so they must be persuaded and educated with strength.
Ankang lost after only two days of resistance. The Xirong people finally realized that Anjun was not as easy to bully as they imagined, so they became serious and sent the main force to fight.
After all, if they don't deal with it properly, the An army will soon kill Chang'an city.
After winning the first battle, Pei Linzhi rallied and led his troops to advance westward, and successfully captured Hanyin County and Nanzheng County.
Emperor Xirong couldn't figure it out very much. They were not good at defending the city, but the cavalry lined up to kill them didn't even have an advantage!You know, their warriors grew up on horseback since they were young. He didn't believe that the crooked horses of An Jun could be better than their prairie horses.
However, this is indeed the case. The letter received claimed that every time the cavalry charged, they would hear very strange loud noises, and the horses would be frightened and mad when they heard it, and lost control.
Could it be that An Guo has mastered some sorcery?This is really unbelievable.
Of course, this is not a sorcery, it's just an improved version of the crossbow. When the bed crossbow is fired into the enemy's camp, it explodes. When the horse hears the loud noise, it will be frightened and stop or run wildly, which will collide with its teammates.
Often before they have fought against the Anjun, they have already suffered a lot of losses.
Tomorrow will be New Year's Day, and Xiao Yu has not rested yet. He read the good news from Pei Linzhi and shared the good news with the courtiers.
When I read the second page of the letter, I stopped quickly. This is a letter written by Pei Linzhi to my family. Why did this guy put it together with the good news? In case someone reads it: "Let's go here today. Tomorrow It's New Year's Day, and all the loves don't need to go to court. Take a three-day rest and come to court on the fourth day of the lunar new year. After a while, each adult will receive a gift outside the door, which I prepared for all the loves Congratulations on New Year's Day, small care, not respect, just express condolences."
All the officials said in unison: "Thank you Lord Long En!"
The gifts Xiao Yu gave to everyone were actually very high-end and elegant, such as the Four Treasures of the Study, a collection of selected volumes of "Spark" newspapers, treasures brought back from overseas, lucky gold coins and court snacks for the children, etc.
Neither extravagant nor shabby, he is worthy of his status as a thrifty emperor.
After the court, Xiao Yu hurried back to Nuan Pavilion, Jianye's winter was much colder than Yazhou and Guangzhou, Xiao Yu was afraid of the cold, if there was no floor heating, it would be impossible to live this day.So except for going to court, he spent almost all of his time in the warm pavilion with floor heating.
After entering the Nuan Pavilion, he took off his shoes, quickly got on the bed behind the screen, pulled up the quilt and covered it, and began to read Pei Linzhi's family letter: "When your Majesty receives the letter, it must be New Year's Day. I can't spend New Year's Day with you this year. It is a pity that next year today, I hope to be with you. The Hanzhong plum is in full bloom, and the ten-mile red plum is in full bloom. It is magnificent and beautiful. I wish I could share it with you. Only a branch of plum blossoms will be given to you as a token of my heart... ..."
Pei Linzhi's letter was written very reservedly, probably because he was afraid that people would see it.Xiao Yu was extremely satisfied. The plum blossoms in the envelope had withered, but they still had no color loss. Xiao Yu carefully took it out, unfolded it carefully, and put it in a beautiful wooden box.
He read Pei Linzhi's letter again and again, put it away, and put it into another wooden box specially for Pei Linzhi's letters. These are his most precious treasures.He got off the bed, walked around to the screen, and began to reply to Pei Linzhi. Although he would not send it out tomorrow, he still wanted to write.
As I was writing, I suddenly heard Meng Sigui's voice from outside the door: "Your Majesty! There is a visitor from afar."
Xiao Yu put away his pen and covered the letterhead with a book: "Who is it? Come in."
There was only a creaking sound from the door, and a cheerful voice with a male voice sounded: "Your Majesty! Do you still recognize me?"
Xiao Yu raised his head and saw a young man poking his head in with a smile on his face. Xiao Yu pointed at him and said in surprise, "Ju Yan?"
Subjects include political theory, agriculture and water conservancy, laws and regulations, medicine, martial arts, literature and art, science, etc. Among them, literature and art include poetry, calligraphy, painting, music, etc., and science includes arithmetic, astronomy, investigation of things, and fortune.
