In the second year of Kaiping, King Liang sent the prime minister to lead a 30,000-strong army to expedition to the north, winning a great victory and beheading King Jin.

In the third year of Kaiping, the prime minister became seriously ill and returned to gold and stone to cultivate.

In the same year, King Xiao Liang of Liang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and he was given the title of 'human'.

In the fourth year of Kaiping, Prime Minister Xu Lingzi gradually lived in seclusion and entrusted political affairs to Cao Man, Fan Jin, Taichong, Taihe, Taiyin and others.

In the fifth year of Kaiping, Tang Xun led Liang's army to conquer Songjing's northern expedition to the Jin Kingdom, captured tens of thousands of young kings, queen mothers, princes and nobles, and offered prisoners to Taimiao. Waiting for a cadre of civil servants to emerge as well.

In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth year of Kaiping.

At this time, after more than ten years of chaos, the world was finally pacified again. The territory was expanded by several tens of percents compared to the previous Dasong. The country name was still 'Liang', and the capital was Jinshi.

Xiao Liang was also eighteen years old, and in ancient times he had already grown up. The prime minister, Xu Lingzi, therefore returned to the power of His Majesty. Xiao Liang began to pro-government, and made Xu Lingzi the national teacher, and Xiao Gui Cao followed. He still did not need the Four Books and Five Classics, but promoted the examination of the public, and imposed religious taxes, business taxes, and the integration of officials and gentry. Paying grain is always a national policy, and at the same time, a 'Tai Shang Dao Yuan' is established to study the relationship between science and truth.

road.

Xu Lingzi served as the dean of the Supreme Taoist Academy.

The government and the public praised each other, believing that the ruler and his ministers were able to gain each other for the sake of a state that had not been seen in a thousand years, and the state of Liang gradually entered a prosperous age.

Time is like water, time is like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, it was the sixteenth year of Kaiping.

Time is the best healer. It can heal the pain and forget many things.

Some of the romantic figures from more than ten years ago died, some retired, some lived in court, and some became legends.

There are even some that have been gradually forgotten.

Dududu!

Above the canal, a small steamer was smoking black smoke, carrying

A boat of tourists went upstream and went straight to Jinshi.

"This small steam steamer, powered by a steam engine, runs water and fire, and it is automatic without wind, which is indescribable.

There was a person on the deck, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, leaning on the railing and looking out, unable to help feeling emotional.

This person has straight facial features and thick lips. When he is not speaking, he purses them tightly, which can easily give people a sense of perseverance.

In the photo book, such people are often determined and will have great achievements in business and politics in the future.

This person's name is Yang Fei. He is a student. This time he went to Jinshi City to take the public exam. "

"Brother Yang, is it the first time to ride a small steamer?

A chubby businessman next to him smiled and said: "This is indeed a rare thing, it was only researched by the Taishang Daoyuan three years ago... After it was put into commercial use, some mines need it, but people always have fantastic ideas, put it in On the boat, it can be equivalent to dozens of strong laborers rowing boats, which is still the kind that does not stop day and night... It is said that it will be used on the ground, but the rails need to be laid, which costs a lot, and the court officials are still discussing

Argument.

"Brother Zhen is worthy of being a businessman and has broad horizons! The students are well received.

taught.

Yang Fei sincerely thanked him. ' z" x$ Z6 Q# H. j% ]

"Hey...don't be so polite." The businessman Zhenbao has a simple and honest appearance, and he doesn't seem to be deceiving at first glance. Such an appearance is the most suitable for doing business.

At this time, his hands were shaking: "little brother, if you can go to Jinshi to examine the public, put it in the past, that is the disciple of the emperor! How can I be so polite to you."

"What a disciple of the emperor, but only a small official... I am also close to Jinshi, and I was assigned to this area for the exam!

Yang Fei said with some emotion.

Although it is stipulated by the public decree, those who pass the examination will all serve as officials.

started, but there are still differences from place to place.

For example, it is better to work in Liufang in the prefecture than in the county, even if it is just serving tea and pouring water.

As for those who can take the exam at Jinshi, let alone those who are directly admitted to the various ministries of the imperial court, the promotion is fast.

This also makes it several times more difficult for Jinshi Kao Gong than other regions.

Even so, there are still a large number of candidates who would rather spend huge sums of money to buy a house in Jinshi, change their household registration, and also take the test in Jinshi, resulting in several major cases.

It can be said that although the Liang Dynasty entered a prosperous age, there were also many problems that followed.

I am under the tutelage of Mr. Jun Shan, and I must assist the Lord Ming and do something great for the people of the world! ’

Yang held the railing and couldn't help but feel the new wave.

His teacher, Mr. Jun Shan, is said to be a famous Confucian in the Song Dynasty, but the court did not use the Four Books and Five Classics to select scholars, and the status of Confucian scholars plummeted.

A lot of people who have been ordained to become monks, or become discouraged, become Taoist priests, and even go deep into the mountains, claiming to be 'don't eat Liangsu'!

In the end, even monks and Taoists had to pay taxes, and those who entered the deep mountains couldn't bear to run back in despair or die directly at the mouth of tigers and wolves.

The rest are either crazy or changed.

Mr. Junshan belongs to the more flexible type. He taught himself the way of science and taught and educated people in the countryside, so he could make a living. '

While teaching urchins to read, he couldn't help but say some ridiculous things, mocking the hour hand.

As a result, Yang Fei also had some cynical thoughts at a young age, thinking about meeting the Ming Lord, taking charge of the big government, and then reforming!

He concealed his thoughts very well, at this time he just chatted with Zhen Bao: "Brother Zhen has been doing business recently, how much profit?

"It's still passable, barely making ends meet... The tax laws of the imperial court are quite meticulous, and the tax returns are layered, and they have to take off a layer of skin... Fortunately, they are exploited by checkpoints, Lucas, local gangsters, and tyrants... But there are still some profits, just doing Do not

Zhen Bao seemed to sigh: "Those rich merchants whose business spans across the state and the prefectures are always only successful for a while, and then fall into decline... The real profits are all run by the officials of the imperial court! Hehe... What did the former scholars say? It makes sense not to compete with the people for profit. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Yang Fei was about to say something when he saw a few people running up on the deck.

A child, vying for a little book.

This kind of thing, also called 'comic picture', Yang Fei also liked to read it when he was a child.

And the most popular book nowadays is "The Legend of the Heroes of Pine and Liang", which describes the troubled times before.

"Give it to me, I want to see General Tang defeat the golden soldiers.

"No, I want to see Wenchen strategize the world, what's so good about a martial artist? I still want to be a high-ranking official, such as Fan Da Shi and Zhang Da Shi... One strategy can change the world. This is the style of a top advisor..."

A little girl timidly said, "Didn't it say that King Liang still has immortals to help? I want to see the story of Huli Daxian.

thing..."

Several other children despised: "What Taoist priests and immortals are all deceitful people! Haven't you seen the scientific deciphering of the Taishang Taoist Academy? Talisman paper can spontaneously ignite, but only with phosphorus added. borax and vinegar

"My father has said that there is nothing to do with the great immortal tiger power when the emperor established the heroic pavilion recently..."

Tong Yan Wuji, Yang Fei was shocked!

Although he did not believe that Xu Lingzi knew how to fly swordsmanship and could scatter beans into soldiers and resurrect the dead, he also knew that Xu Lingzi used to be the prime minister of King Liang, who defeated Jinshi, beheaded King Wu, and King Jin. , Really made a great contribution.

But up to now, it seems that the imperial court is gradually getting over it.'
