Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

After a night of fierce fighting, thousands of Jiaozhou troops were wiped out, most of the rest were captured, and a very small number were at large.

The leader of Jiaozhou, Zhou Guanying, was captured. Due to his serious injuries, only half his life remained. The deputy general died in the scuffle. The remaining generals were either killed or captured.

The Yazhou Army killed more than 300 people and wounded thousands of people.Compared with the Jiaozhou Army, the casualties were very light, but it was also the misfortune of more than 300 families.

Even though he won the battle, Xiao Yu couldn't be happy at all, and his heart was heavy, and he asked someone to pay compensation to the families of those who died in battle.

After the war ended, Xiao Yu was so busy that he only slept for two hours a day because there were too many things to deal with.

Although Pei Linzhi, Min Chong, Yao Tao, Xiao Yao and others were all helping with the post-war affairs, they still felt that there was not enough manpower, and everyone felt exhausted.

After working for the day, everyone was going to eat, Min Chong stretched his waist: "When will you ascend the throne, sir? Hurry up, I have to go after ascending the throne."

Xiao Yu looked up at him in surprise: "Where is Teng Yun going?"

Min Chong smiled wryly: "Have you forgotten, sir, that I brought back three shipments of goods from overseas that I haven't sold yet, and I'm afraid it will be ruined if I put them down again. That's money from the treasury."

Xiao Yu patted his forehead: "That's right, this is an urgent matter, and it must be dealt with quickly."

"So hurry up and ascend the throne. I'll leave when I'm done. I'll help you with government affairs when I come back." Min Chong said.

Xiao Yu smiled, a little moved in his heart, everyone is working hard together for their own goals: "Okay."

Pei Linzhi said: "Then choose a day to ascend the throne. Do you want to ascend the throne in Yazhou or go to Guangzhou?"

Xiao Yu thought for a while: "I think Yazhou is fine, what do you think?"

Xiao Yao said: "Let's go to Guangzhou. Yazhou is too small, and there is not even a decent palace."

Pei Linzhi said: "I think it's Yazhou. People in Yazhou have only heard of the name of Mr. Lang, but have never seen the real face. This time, let everyone come and pay their respects."

Yao Tao was also very supportive: "I think Yazhou is good." He had selfish intentions, and hoped that Xiao Yu would proclaim himself emperor in Yazhou. In the future, this would be the land of Longxing. He is also the governor of Yazhou, so he must be famous in history.

Min Chong said: "Panyu doesn't have a palace, so it's in Yazhou. It's just a formality. In the future, we will return to Jianye and rule the world, and then we will have a big celebration."

Meng Hong smiled all over his face: "If Mr. Lang is really enthroned in Yazhou, then I will arrange it."

Meng Hong had long guessed that Xiao Yu's identity was not simple, but unexpectedly Xiao Yu's identity was even more surprising than he expected, and he could be regarded as a witness that today's world started at a young age.

Pei Linzhi stopped him: "Brother Meng, don't be in a hurry. Sir, both Yazhou and Guangzhou are in urgent need of talents. The selection test should be finalized, right? Should it be issued together with the enthronement announcement?"

Xiao Yu said: "Yes. When will the exam be scheduled? How about the first day of February next year? There are still three months left, just to give students some time to prepare. By the way, roughly stipulate the scope of the exam." Now there is a shortage of manpower, and the government needs to fill in Lots of talent.

Min Chong squeezed his chin and said, "Is it the first day of February? I think it can be delayed by another month."

Yao Tao asked, "Why?"

Min Chong said: "When I went north to do business, I announced to the world that Mr. Lang was enthroned. Those aspiring scholars in the north who saw our selection exams might travel to Guangzhou to take the exams."

Xiao Yao said suspiciously, "Will someone really come?"

Pei Linzhi said: "It doesn't matter whether you come or not. The important thing is that our attitude has been released, which shows that we attach importance to talents. Just like Emperor Wu of Wei at the beginning, he recruited talents from all over the world, and achieved the emperor's career through talent."

Xiao Yu nodded: "That's the reason. Let those poor children who have no chance to be promoted take the initiative to join us."

Both Yao Tao and Meng Hong agreed with this opinion. They both passed the Ninth Rank Zhongzheng at the beginning. Due to the influence of family status, no matter how talented they are, their promotion space is blocked, because the upper class is monopolized by the rich and noble families.

If those really talented children from poor families knew that they could pass the exam and become an official, they would definitely be eager to try.

Xiao Yu added: "By the way, how about setting up a martial arts department? You can recruit military generals. You can also recruit people with special talents, such as those who are good at arithmetic, mechanism, drawing, water conservancy and so on."

Pei Linzhi said: "I think it's feasible, and this will really recruit talents from all over the world."

So the matter was settled in this way, the date of Xiao Yu's ascension to the throne was set on the first day of November, and the place was in the Governor's Mansion.The residence is still his own house, but the office has been changed to the Governor's Mansion.

The news that Xiao Yu is about to ascend the throne spreads, and the people of Yazhou finally know who the man Xiao Langjun is, who only hears about his name but does not know who he is. .

It has always been said that Yazhou is a place far away from the emperor, but now it is different, the emperor is very close to them, in Yazhou, they have an emperor in Yazhou!

For generations of Yazhou people, who the emperor is has never mattered to them, because whoever is the emperor is the same.

But it is different now. If Xiao Langjun becomes their emperor, he will be the emperor who is most supported by the people of Yazhou in history.

Because Xiao Langjun is different from those emperors who don't care about the life and death of the people. He really cares for the people and has done a lot of practical things to improve people's lives.

The most important thing is that Xiao Langjun will become the emperor in Yazhou, which means that they will have the opportunity to meet Tianyan.

The people in Yazhou rushed to tell each other, and the most frequently asked sentence was: "Will you go to Yazhou City to see Lord Xiao on the first day of the new year?"

All the people in Yazhou are eagerly looking forward to this day, and many people who are far away have made appointments with relatives and friends, planning to go to Yazhou to watch the ceremony in advance.

The ones who are most proud are the people of Baisha Village. They have long seen that Xiao Langjun is different from ordinary people, but they never thought that he would be the prince.

Now that Mr. Lang is going to be the emperor, Baisha Village, where he has lived for three years, is the place where dragons live. Some people even suggested that Baisha Village should be called Wolong Village or Qianlong Village in the future.

Shenglong Bay next door is more proud than the people of Baisha Village. Xiao Langjun's ability to become emperor is definitely due to their Shenglong Bay.Their name is Shenglong Bay, and after Xiao Langjun came, he became a real dragon.

When the people in Baisha Village heard this, the people in Shenglong Bay were too shameless. They would really put gold on their faces. Back then when I went there, I was almost beaten to death by the blind guys in Shenglong Bay.

Because of this matter, Baisha Village and Shenglong Bay almost fell out again, but this matter still did not cause trouble. There were people in Baisha Village, and people in Shenglong Bay did not dare to make trouble.

Before ascending the throne, Xiao Yu went back to Baisha Village again.

This will most likely be the last time he returns to Baisha Village. After ascending the throne, Xiao Yu will move to Panyu and shift the focus of governance to the mainland.

When Xiao Yu came back this time, he was warmly received by the villagers.People from several nearby villages all rushed over.

He didn't say hello in advance, he didn't know how they got the news, and they came very quickly.

In the yard, on the ridges of the fields, and even some people climbed onto the trees, just to see Xiao Yu's true face.

Of course, those familiar people wanted to see Xiao Yu a few more times. In the future, Mr. Xiao Lang will be the supreme emperor, and it will be difficult for them, ordinary people, to see him again.

Xiao Yu stayed at home for a day and inspected the family business he created with his own hands.

I saw those familiar old people, children, domestic servants, villagers and workers one by one.

Until it was time to leave, people were still surrounding the yard, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Meng Hong said: "Lang Jun, please say a few words to the big guy."

Standing in the corridor of the old house, Xiao Yu looked at the dark crowd in the yard and the eagerly expecting faces, and said with a smile: "Looking at everyone, I remembered the scene of teaching you here at the beginning. I’m afraid I don’t have the chance to tell stories to you in class. All the stories need to be read, edited and written by yourself. I hope that one day, I can see and hear your stories with my own eyes. I believe that will be the best The most beautiful story. In the future, I may not be able to go back to Baisha Village often, but in my heart, Baisha Village will always be my home. You are my family and friends. Thank you for visiting me, helping me, and supporting me , I will always remember it in my heart. I hope everyone can use their own hands to create a richer and happier life. Thank you!"

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he bowed deeply to everyone.

Many people choked up in the audience, and someone shouted loudly: "Mr. Xiao! Long live Mr. Lang!"

Many people shouted together: "Long live your husband!"

Xiao Yu was a little choked up, and put his hands together: "Thank you for your love. You are the real long live, the creators and continuators of history, and never underestimate your own strength. Thank you! I'm leaving, and I will see you again later. of!"

When Xiao Yu got into the carriage and left, many villagers knelt down by the side of the road.

Xiao Yu stopped the carriage, got down in person, and helped Li Zheng, who was kneeling at the head, said: "Old man, this is absolutely unacceptable, get up quickly. I hope that under the new court rule, all officials will see me." , there is no need to kneel down, and the common people don’t need to kneel down when they see the officials, everyone stands. Whether it is me or the officials, they are all supported by you, you are our parents, how can you let your parents give us How about kneeling? Right?"

When Pei Linzhi heard Xiao Yu's words, he felt that it was very normal, because that's how Mr. Lang received his education.

Min Chong raised his eyebrows, it was the first time he heard such weird remarks.

However, he was very supportive of officials not kneeling down to the emperor, because he didn't want to kneel down to Xiao Yu, even if he was sincerely convinced, he was unwilling to pay homage to him.

The common people talked about the new emperor's coming to the throne after dinner, but in the hearts of scholars in Yazhou, it was a different feeling.

Since last year, they have known that the imperial court will change the official selection system, and change the original nine-rank Zhongzheng system into an examination selection system.

Many people also responded to the call of the government to go to school to become teachers, because this has the advantage of adding points.

But now that the announcement of the new emperor's ascension to the throne came out, many scholars were embarrassed. They always thought that the emperor they were loyal to was the emperor in Jianye City. God.

Strictly speaking, this is a bit contrary to the thought of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism that scholars have always received.

Many people began to worry, should they take the exam?

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to stand out, and the talent of Han Chuang's hard study finally has the opportunity to display.

But how long can Xiao Yu be the emperor?If it fails in the end, will those officials who passed the exam be held accountable?

Don't go, it's too much of a waste of opportunity, it's really confusing.

After the notice was posted, not many people signed up for the exam.

Xiao Yu felt that this was also normal. Scholars always look forward and backward, think too much, it is very normal to wait and see.After a year or two, when the policy is stabilized, people will naturally sign up for the exam enthusiastically.
