Chapter 202 Li Cun: Li Qingzhao, you are so brave (please vote for me!)

…

As soon as he arrived at Baigou River, Li Qingzhao discovered that his painting style had changed.

This place is no longer like the places they passed before, full of hungry people and messy victims.

There are no longer hungry people here, no messy victims, but thousands of tents densely packed with hot braziers lit inside the tents. There is also a strong aroma of porridge or medicine wafting from some tents. Occasionally there is a queue outside, but usually people are ushered in quickly.

Everything seemed so orderly and peaceful.

Although there was still quite a distance from Baigou River, Zhen Wuchen, who was sent by Pharmacist Guo to escort Qin Hui and Li Qingzhao, still stopped.

Zhen Wuchen said to Qin Hui: "Qin Xianggong, further ahead is the defense area of ​​​​Qian's army. If it is inconvenient for our army to pass by, we will not send you far away."

Qin Hui frowned and said, "When did the south bank of Baigou River become Daqian?"

Zhen Wuchen said truthfully: "The south bank is not Daqian, but a large number of people from Hebei have gone to Yandi recently. In order to prevent chaos, Daqian spread porridge stations and clinic sheds on the south bank of Baigou River to first resettle refugees and then provide What kind of diversion is there in registering it? This move of Da Qian is actually to save the people of our Song Dynasty. How can we, the Song Dynasty, not even provide this convenience?"

When Qin Hui heard this, he frowned: "Saving the people of the Song Dynasty? Daqian's move is clearly to plunder the population of the Song Dynasty, why is no one taking care of it?"

Zhen Wuchen originally respected Qin Hui as a scholar and felt that scholars should be reasonable.

But now, when Zhen Wuchen heard Qin Hui say such bastard words, his temper suddenly rose, and he said angrily: "No matter what, how can I control it? Put these people who have no food to eat in the Song Dynasty and wait to die. The way to survive? If the ground is defeated, everyone will be forced to rebel. What else can we talk about to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun? We are too busy to suppress the rebellion every day. Instead of harming others and not benefiting ourselves, we should be good people and let others go to work. Find a way to survive.”

"Doing harm to others does not benefit oneself?"

"All these people who fled to Yandi may be your enemies in the future, enemies who want your life!"

After all, Qin Hui did not discuss these matters in depth with Qiu Ba. He just followed Li Qingzhao, who looked curious, towards the Baigou River with a heavy look on his face.

As soon as the group of people approached Baigou River, a man who looked like a small official came to greet him: "Do you want to go and settle in Dagan?"

——Looking at the way Li Qingzhao and his party were dressed, they didn’t look like people who were hungry, so the clerk asked this question.

Li Qingzhao became more playful and said smoothly: "Not bad."

After hearing this, the clerk gave a piece of rice paper to each of Li Qingzhao and his party, and said to Li Qingzhao and the others: "You can wait in line to get a wooden sign, and then you can go to the porridge shed to get porridge to drink, or you can go to the clinic shed to get it." The doctor is waiting for you... There seems to be no patient among you, so don't disturb the doctor. When someone calls out the number in your hand in front of the row of tents, you can enter the account and answer the question. Please ask sir to wait for you. Write down your information and intentions, and I will be able to help you settle down and make arrangements for you in a targeted manner."

Li Qingzhao unfolded the rice paper and saw what was written on it: name; place of origin; can be literate; may have a skill; may be interested; There are currently too many people in Yan land. If you settle in Yan land, it may be difficult to allocate land in a short time. You I would like to move to Annan and Dingnan Road of our Daqian Dynasty, where there is no war and there is fertile land. When you land, you can get twenty acres of fertile land...

For literate people, filling out such an information collection form is not difficult.

Therefore, when it was Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui's turn, Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui filled in the information collection form themselves using the pen and ink in the account.

It should be noted that the information Li Qingzhao filled in was not her own, but her brother Li Hao’s.

As soon as Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui put down their pens, a clerk came over to them with smiles on their faces.

After taking a look at the ridiculously beautiful words of Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui, the clerk put away the information collection forms filled out by Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui, and said to Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui: "If you two gentlemen intend to work for me, you can Move the tent next to it, and my lord can help you two gentlemen clear up your doubts."

Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui had already noticed that the clerk was not targeting them.

In fact, as long as someone fills out the information collection form by himself, a dedicated person will come to meet him and contact him.

In addition, Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui also noticed that those with special skills would be politely invited to other tents.

Li Qingzhao thought this was quite novel, so he went over to see if there was anything more novel.

Qin Hui also wanted to see how the Daqian Dynasty recruited talents, so he followed him.

Entering the tent next to them, Li Qingzhao and Qin Hui saw a man who looked like an official.

The official introduced himself very politely: "I am Shi Jianhao, the official secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Do you two gentlemen want to become officials in our country?"

Li Qingzhao lowered his voice and said: "May I ask my husband, what do you need to become an official in my country?"

Jian Hao answered: "If these two gentlemen have ever been officials, whether in Song, Liao, Jin or Xixia, it can be said that our cadres will not discriminate against demotions, and the Ministry of Personnel will also focus on these two gentlemen based on their past political experience." After inquiries, assessments and recommendations, I, the Emperor, will make the best use of His Majesty's wise and wise people, and I expect that the two gentlemen will be appointed according to their talents in the end."

——Jian Hao could tell at a glance that Qin Hui was an official, so he said this.

But Li Qingzhao said: "Xiao Ke studied at Imperial College, but failed in many exams. His family was in decline and he could not get any favor, so he never became an official."

Li Qingzhao really had no official power, so Jian Hao emphatically explained to Li Qingzhao: "If you have the status of a student, you can serve as a low-level official in our Daqian. If you have great political ambitions, you can try to join our Daqian." Enko will be held two days later..."

At this moment, several people came in from outside the tent.

When the man at the head saw Qin Hui, he smiled and said, "Liu is so busy here, why does Mr. Qin come to play with him?"

Seeing that Liu Yanzong came so quickly, Qin Hui thought to himself: "The information that Madam Li and I just wrote must have been taken by Daqian's intelligence agency for identity verification first."

——Qin Hui was secretly shocked by the response speed of the intelligence department of the Daqian Dynasty.

Qin Hui knew that he was wrong and quickly explained: "My younger brother Li Hao was curious about how Daqian got an official position, so he took a look and hoped that Liu Xianggong would forgive him."

Liu Yanzong glanced at Li Qingzhao and saw that Li Qingzhao was covering himself tightly and his face was covered with anti-frostbite wax. He couldn't see his appearance clearly and didn't think much about it. He just said perfunctorily: "If you want to be a junior official, To become an official, this time Enke is a good opportunity to become an official."

Li Qingzhao came out this time just for fun and to relax. If she could sneak in and take the imperial examination, she would make a lot of money.

So Li Qingzhao followed Liu Yanzong's words and said, "Xiao Ke is willing to give it a try, but I don't know if it's still too late?"

Baigouhe is at least a day's journey from Yanjing. In addition to the registration procedures and so on, Li Qingzhao is really pressed for time if he wants to participate in this Enke.

Liu Yanzong was actually just being polite to Li Qingzhao - Qin Hui was an official of the Zhao and Song dynasties, how could his "younger brother" become an official in the Daqian dynasty?

Qin Hui also did not expect that Li Qingzhao would want to participate in the imperial examination of the Daqian Dynasty on a whim.

Qin Hui winked at Li Qingzhao repeatedly, telling Li Qingzhao not to mess around. This kind of thing could be big or small. If Li Cun was angered, he would have no way to save Li Qingzhao.

How could Li Qingzhao listen to Qin Hui? She just looked at Liu Yanzong expectantly.

Liu Yanzong realized that Li Qingzhao wanted him to be accommodating and said with a smile: "I will write a letter of recommendation to the junior official later. The junior official will just take my letter to take the exam tomorrow."

I'm just helping you sign up, not helping you cheat.

For Liu Yanzong, this small favor was just a matter of doing something casually.

The key point is that Liu Yanzong still has to deal with Qin Hui and Zhao Ding. There is really no need to give up Qin Hui for this little face.

When Li Qingzhao heard that it was done, her eyes were filled with joy. She immediately bowed and said, "Li Hao thanked Xianggong Liu."

Seeing that Li Qingzhao was so capable of causing trouble, Qin Hui had a headache. He only hoped that Zhao Mingcheng would come to Yanjing to take Li Qingzhao back after receiving the letter he had sent before.

Afterwards, Li Qingzhao followed Liu Yanzong and Qin Hui and walked out.

When he came outside, he saw many people coming to vote. Qin Hui asked bluntly: "Are there many people who have voted to Yan recently?"

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and it cannot be concealed at all, so Liu Yanzong answered bluntly: "Thousands or even tens of thousands come to vote every day."

Hearing this number, Qin Hui's heart became heavier and heavier.

Qin Hui felt that this meant that the national power of the Song Dynasty was declining significantly, while the national power of the Daqian Dynasty was increasing significantly. It also meant that the people trusted the Daqian Dynasty more and more and distrusted the Song Dynasty less and less.

In other words, the Song Dynasty was losing people's support, while the Daqian Dynasty was gaining people's support.

Qin Hui thought to himself: "If the Song Dynasty is defeated or even destroyed by Da Qian, can it be far behind?"

Qin Hui held a trace of luck and asked: "With the large population in the land, I'm afraid it won't be able to sustain the food you produce?"

Liu Yanzong looked serious and said, "Xiao Qin, Mr. Qin, is a man who understands people's livelihood."

Just when Qin Hui wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Yanzong smiled: "Thanks to your Majesty's foresight, as soon as he arrived in Yan, he sent naval troops to transport grain from the south, and immigrated a large number of people to Annan, and settled in Dingnan Road. , otherwise it will be difficult for our country, Yan, to protect itself, and we can safely help the victims..."

Following Liu Yanzong's narration, Qin Hui learned that the Daqian Dynasty not only accepted refugees here in Yandi, but also accepted refugees in the Jiaodong Peninsula and the Qinling-Huaihe River line. It can be said that the Daqian Dynasty helped resettle as many refugees as there were in the Song Dynasty. .

This made many officials of the Song Dynasty feel that this was a mutually beneficial and win-win good thing. Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of their rule, they not only did not stop this matter, but also provided guidance for those refugees who could not survive.

But Qin Hui felt that the Daqian Dynasty was digging at the cornerstone of the Song Dynasty in order to destroy the Song Dynasty.

actually--

This is really Qin Hui's overthinking.

From Li Cun's point of view, the Zhao and Song Dynasty was almost a piece of cake for him. As soon as he recovered Yundi and the three states of Pingluanying, he would immediately start to destroy the Zhao and Song Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, how could Li Cun destroy the cornerstone of the Zhao and Song dynasties?

The reason why Li Cun did this was mainly to solve the problem of the lack of Han people on the Annan and Dingnan roads, and secondly, to remove the heavy burden of the Central Plains region first.

If Li Cun had any other purpose besides these two points, it might be that Li Cun hoped that the Han people would die less.

After arriving in Yandi, what surprised Li Qingzhao was that she didn't even see a single Hu person along the way.

This made Li Qingzhao couldn't help but think: "Am I in the wrong place?"

Qin Hui saw Li Qingzhao's doubts and told Li Qingzhao about Li Cun's order to retain his head, change his service order, and change his Han order.

After hearing what Qin Hui said, Li Qingzhao took a closer look at the pedestrians he met, and found that there were indeed some lustful people among them.

Li Qingzhao felt that Li Cun was really overbearing when it came to the head-retention order, the change of service order, and the change of Han Dynasty order forced by Li Cun.

But Li Qingzhao felt that only in this way could he truly regain the land of Yan.

Hurrying slowly, Li Qingzhao really caught up with Enke this time.

Because there is a recommendation letter from Liu Yanzong.

——The main reason is that Li Cun is eager to stabilize the nobles in Yandi and reserve a group of talents to regain the nine states of Yundi and the three states of Luanying. Therefore, Li Cun did not let Li Gang make it so strict this time. harsh.

As a result, Li Qingzhao really got mixed up.

What surprised Li Qingzhao was that Li Gang, Enke's examiner, highly praised her knowledge and actually ranked her first.

Of course, whether Li Qingzhao can become the number one scholar depends on the results of Li Cun's imperial examination.
