Chapter 2 Remnants of the Former Dynasty
"Qingyun, didn't disturb you?"
An old man in a gray robe appeared at the door, with a smile on his face and a layer of folds appeared.
"It's Uncle Wu, I won't disturb you."
Seeing this, Chen Qingyun recognized the identity of the person who was an old man from the same village, with his surname Wu. He usually called him Uncle Wu with his peers. Although he had no ability, his son Wu Chengye worked in the Mojiang County government office. His father is noble because of his son, which makes people look up to him.
"I don't know what happened to Wu Bolai?"
Chen Qingyun asked to turn around, signaled the other party to come in, and asked casually.
“I won’t go in.
That's right, haven't I just returned from Chengye? On the way, I met Dean Zhang of Yunhe Academy. He told me that you asked him to submit a quota for participating in the county examination, but it was gone."
Uncle Wu stood at the door without moving, just said.
"Not?"
Chen Qingyun's face changed.
Long before, Chen Qingyun decided to participate in this county examination after the beginning of spring and get the title of scholar.
If you want to take the county exam, you must have a guaranteed student to ensure that he does not fake a citizen, hide his family, do not substitute him, and do not have a name, and ensure his wealth is innocent. He is not a person who commits crimes.
For this reason, Chen Qingyun visited Dean Zhang of Yunhe Academy. The other party visited many times when his father survived, which was considered old. Therefore, Chen Qingyun proposed the matter of protection, and the other party directly agreed.
Unexpectedly, at this time, he changed his mind.
"Yes, it was said that Mr. Liu went out and was going to his son Liu Dong."
Uncle Wu said, shook his head.
Mr. Liu is actually a member of their Yunwu Village. He has a strong financial resources and claims to be kind and generous to the outside world. Anyone in the village can rent silver and grain to overcome the difficulties if they have difficulties.
But who doesn’t know that it is easy to borrow money from Mr. Liu, but it is difficult to repay it. If the profits are profitable, how many fertile land will change the owner? How many wealthy families will fall back from now on?
There are also some who are really poor, even if their families are destroyed, and the better ones will have to cultivate their fields and be slaves for generations...
The Liu family seemed to know its reputation and specially hired servants to protect the hospital. It is said that everyone practiced martial arts, which shocked the villagers and did not dare to act rashly.
The reason why Wu Bo shook his head was that he knew that Liu Dong, the son of Liu Yuanwai, was not a good source of study at all. His literary talent was not good. Not to mention the scientific examination, even the boy test at the beginning... Liu Yuanwai spent a lot of money.
However, when it comes to playing guns and sticks, Liu Dong is a good player. He often takes the guards to show off. No one dares to mess with him, but he is also disgusted with him.
"Is Mr. Liu going to go?"
Chen Qingyun frowned, and his qi and blood surged a little.
He still remembered that when he met Mr. Liu a month ago, the other party asked him about the insurance of the student in the essay. He also told the other party very clearly that he was protected by President Zhang.
"Qingyun, I heard that your family also borrowed the money from Mr. Liu?"
Suddenly, Wu Bo asked tentatively.
"Um?"
Chen Qingyun looked up in confusion and did not deny it.
This debt was actually mortgaged by his father Chen Boqian when he was still alive. He was mortgaged with 300 acres of land under the Chen family.
In total, three thousand taels of silver were exchanged. When the five-year period was agreed, 5 thousand taels of silver would be paid with the principal and profits. Otherwise, the 300 acres of fertile land would be completely owned by the Liu family.
Originally, with Chen Boqian's talent and ability, even if his fame and fortune were eliminated, he would not take this debt seriously.
But unexpectedly, his injury worsened later and he could not bear it. He died and passed away... The so-called father's debts and sons repay the debts, and this debt is naturally on Chen Qingyun's head now.
"You mean?"
Chen Qingyun is a smart person. For three years, he has been baptized by a pendant seal once a month and has a very quick mind.
So when Wu Bocai mentioned it, he reacted.
Compared with 5,000 taels of silver, what Liu Yuanwai wants more is naturally the 300 acres of fertile land.
After all, land is the foundation of a family and its power, and it is the top priority.
If Chen Qingyun was allowed to successfully participate in the imperial examination and achieve fame and fame through the scholar... there would be countless variables, and it was definitely not what Liu Yuanwai was willing to see.
That's why the other party tried every means to seize the quota for the student-in-charge of President Zhang.
"Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your reminder."
Chen Qingyun reached out to thank him, and there was a hint of seriousness on his face.
“What are your plans next?
It’s not a few days before the day the students who have guaranteed their entitlements are reported to the county government. Although there are many students in the county town, there are more candidates, and it is not easy to get a quota.”
Seeing this, Wu Bo couldn't help asking.
"The county exam is one year after another. If you miss this time, you have to wait for a year.
A year is too long, I don’t want to waste it.
If it really doesn't work, I will find four candidates to write a five-child mutual insurance policy and I will definitely participate in this scientific examination."
Chen Qingyun said, and had decided to go to the county town.
Because of mourning, he has been vacant for three years. This time, he is never willing to give up.
If you want to participate in the exam, in addition to the insurance for the students in the vassal state, there is also a five-way method to settle the exam. As long as five child students write the insurance policy together, the five people can also participate in the imperial examination together.
However, although the five children have a good relationship, the risks are relatively high, because once one person cheats, the other four will be dealt with in a row. Not only will they be captured and imprisoned, but they will also be punished for not being allowed to participate in the scientific examination for more than three years, which is very harsh.
As early as a few years ago, there was a situation where five children were protecting each other and cheating on each other, which was said to be very miserable.
If it were not necessary, Chen Qingyun would not choose this method.
Because he has always known that human hearts are the most difficult to predict.
He is confident that he will not cheat, but he is difficult to protect whether others will take risks.
"Then are you going to go to the county town?"
When Wu Bo heard this, he couldn't help asking.
"That's right."
Chen Qingyun nodded. Whether it was the insurance for students with the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of
"Then you have to be careful. When I came out, Cheng Ye said that our Mojiang County has not been peaceful recently.
He said that it was the remnant of the Ming Prince's Mansion and fled nearby.
His martial arts are amazing. It is said that the official master died at his hands, and he was no less than ten fingers. He was very powerful."
Uncle Wu hurriedly reminded.
"The remnant of the Ming Prince's Mansion? Xie Wu Bo reminded me that I understand."
Chen Qingyun's eyes flashed, and he had read the records about the Ming Palace from some miscellaneous books.
He knew that the Ming Dynasty palace was actually the palace of the previous dynasty, and among the top ten royal palaces of the Daxia dynasty in the previous dynasty, it was enough to rank among the top three.
In the Daxia Dynasty, the martial arts style is extremely powerful. It is said that the ranking of the royal palace has always been determined by its real martial arts strength. The Ming royal palace can rank in the top three, which shows its strength.
