Chapter 35 is really high!

Hexi Road is not a very rich place, and it is far inferior to Jianghuai Road and Henan Road. However, there is a Longxi County on Hexi Road, and there are several families in the top fifteen that can be ranked in the entire Sui Dynasty. The most famous one is the Li family in Xiangcheng.

Among the families in Longxi, the Li family is the most special. According to the background, this aristocratic family that has risen for less than a hundred years cannot be compared with the Yu family, Liu family, or even the Cui family. Aristocratic families such as the Yu family and the Liu family were already famous all over the world before the founding of the Sui Dynasty. The Li family made its fortune because of the Sui Dynasty’s dominance in the Central Plains, and even when the previous head of the family Li Ran was truly among the top families.

But there is no doubt that it is precisely because of His Majesty the Emperor's trust in the Li family in Longxi that this family, which is still very young compared to other aristocratic families, became the most prominent family in Xiangcheng, Longxi County, and even Hexi Road.

There are 140 cities in Hexi Road. When they are recruiting students at the Martial Arts Academy, each of these 140 cities will select a young talent to take the exam. No matter whether it is big or small, there is only one place. The candidates in Xiangcheng's first two Martial Arts Academy examinations are all from the Li family. The person elected six years ago is now Fan Guya general Li Xiaozong. Li Fubo, who was selected three years ago, is said to be even more outstanding than Li Xiaozong. In the past three years, he has been ranked among the top three in every assessment in the Martial Arts Academy.

This achievement is enough to make the Li family proud of it.

You should know that after each class of the Martial Arts Academy graduates, the top three students will be directly removed by the Ministry of War. The worst thing is that they are directly named as the fifth-ranked general.

The slogan of the enrollment of the Martial Arts Academy is that no matter whether you have a family background, you can sign up for the election as long as you have talent. But this is just a slogan. Those children from poor families have no chance to become candidates at all. Only one student is selected in each city, and there are 24 cities in the Sui Dynasty, and there are thousands of cities. The Martial Arts Academy only takes 300 people. How can a tenth of the enrollment rate be a turn for people from poor families?

Only one person is chosen in each city, do you want to be fair?

Fairness is always preached.

However, it is said that President Zhou of the Martial Arts Academy and His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty had a very fierce quarrel. According to President Zhou's opinion, since a system of one city and one candidate is formulated, it is necessary to formulate another one, that is, candidates from aristocratic families and poor children must score 55 points. Half of the children of aristocratic families and half of the children of poor families. The emperor smiled and said at the time that no matter what the candidates came from, isn't it enough that you have obtained countless outstanding students?

Whether it is from a poor family or aristocratic family, the candidates are all those who choose both good and good academic performance, and then choose the best ones to enter the Martial Arts Academy. Even if they are from aristocratic families, are there fewer good students in the Martial Arts Academy?

Hearing the emperor's words, Dean Zhou left and coldly left the four words "Yeye" and "The Eyes" and "The Emperor" left directly without any reason.

His Majesty the Emperor was angry when he heard these four words, and sat quietly for half an hour before awakening. He immediately issued an order to change the rules for admission to candidates in the Martial Arts Academy, adding one person from each city to each guard soldiers, county soldiers and border troops to select outstanding talents, and then report to the Ministry of War to take the Martial Arts Academy examination. The number of people is equivalent to the candidates selected by each city, and candidates from military and martial arts background shall not exceed the official position of the school lieutenant.

In this way, it is truly a chance for poor children to enter the Martial Arts Academy to make a splash.

When President Zhou, who returned to Qingluan Mountain, heard the emperor's will, he smiled and said, "Fortunately, he was not confused yet. In the entire Sui court, there were only two people who dared to directly blame the emperor for his faults. One was Huai Qiugong, the senior minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Three Dynasties, and the other was naturally Zhou Banchuan of the Martial Arts Academy.

However, Huai Qiugong criticized the emperor for his mistakes, which was limited to etiquette and knowledge.

Huai Qiugong was the emperor's teacher. He hit the emperor's palm a lot when he was in Taimiao.

Zhou Banchuan is not the case. He is the one who dares to smash the emperor's teacup.

The emperor once joked that the Martial Arts Academy was an indispensable part of selecting good talents for the Sui Dynasty. But the Martial Arts Academy was not mys, but Zhou Banchuan's.

Fang Jie caught up with a good time and the Martial Arts Academy opened its doors to the soldiers at the bottom of the army.

However, the children of aristocrats have always hated hostility towards candidates from military origins. The reason is very simple. If there are no military candidates, the Martial Arts Academy will draw 300 people from thousands of students. Now, the Martial Arts Academy will draw 300 people from nearly 10,000 people. For nothing, half of the quota was snatched by those low-born soldiers. How could they not be angry?

Li Yuan was even more angry because this time the Martial Arts Academy recruited the Hexi Road Governor Yang Xiuchen recommended the idiot from the Cui family. How could he accept this?

In the first two sessions, he selected talents from his Li family. Li Xiaozong was just a poor little person born in the Li family. He was still ranked in the top five in the martial arts academy when he graduated. Li Fubo was the legitimate son of the Li family's parents' house and was even more successful. Now that he is about to graduate, there is no problem in entering the third grade.

Li Yuan is also the legitimate son of the Li family, and his identity is much higher than that of Li Xiaozong. As long as he is in the Li family, even if Li Xiaozong has a military position of fifth rank, even if he is his uncle in the Li family compound, as long as he is in the Li family compound, Li Xiaozong will take the initiative to give way and say hello when he sees him.

Why can a illegitimate person be able to do it? I can't?

This was Li Yuan's greatest anger, even more angry than learning that Cui Lue-shang became a candidate in the Martial Arts Academy.

In the dense forest of Mushan, he knew that as long as he showed some whims, the few flatterers around him would definitely do what he wanted. If Cui Lue Shang was disabled, who in Xiangcheng was more suitable to enter the Martial Arts Academy than him?

It’s just a person who is disabled. Even if he is a family, he is from a noble family, it’s no big deal... His father’s surname is also Li!

...

...

When Fang Jie found Cui Lue Shang, this guy was washing his face by the stream at the foot of the mountain. People from a noble family valued the appearance, and his face was cleaner than Shin's butt. But he was washing hard. If Fang Jie didn't stop him, it would be very likely to wash his bald skin.

Fang Jie knew that Cui Lue Shang did not wash his face because his face was dirty, but because his face was hot.

After he gave Cui Lue Shang's servants a piece of silver, he squatted down beside Cui Lue Shang with a smile: "Brother Cui... don't wash it anymore, if you wash it again, you will bleed."

Cui Lue Shang looked back and saw that it was Fang Jie. He was surprised at first and then said annoyedly: "I don't have the shame to go back to Xiangcheng again. It's better to wash it out. If it comes out, no one knows me anymore. I don't know why I heard your bad idea and did such an insulting thing! Alas... I met someone wrong!"

Fang Jie smiled and said, "Brother Cui, you don't have to worry about this. I know the origins and directions of those women. They don't plan to enter Xiangcheng. And there were only a few servants present at that time. Do they still dare to tell this? "

"Those women don't enter Xiangcheng?"

Cui Lue-shang was stunned, not knowing whether to be happy or regretful: "How do you know?"

"They are in a hurry to go to Chang'an City, and think about it, they are so eye-catching in this remote place. If they enter Xiangcheng, they will inevitably not cause a sensation. If they are entangled by those nobles, it will be difficult to get out. So they will rest here tonight and go to Shanbian Town to purchase the road. They will set off early tomorrow morning and bypass Xiangcheng and will not go in at all."

"That's good……"

Cui Lue Shang smiled embarrassedly: "But the classmates who came with me also saw it. I ran back and didn't see them waiting for me. Obviously, it was because I did that dirty thing and was ashamed to be with me, and I went back first."

Fang Jiexin said that your good classmates were discussing how to break your limbs in the forest, so naturally they would have no time to pay attention to you.

"I just saw them going up the mountain, maybe they were looking for a place to stay."

Fang Jie comforted: "I bet that they will come back to find you soon. If they are really good brothers, how could they hurt their relationship because of such a trivial matter?"

“That’s right…”

Cui Lue Shang sighed: "They are sincere to me and they are all friends who can live a life."

Fang Jie scolded a fool in his heart, and he still had a life-long friendship. Now they want to kill you.

Just as we were talking about this, Li Yuan, a handsome young man in white, dressed in white, with a slender figure and a jade-like face, walked over from a distance with those followers Shi Shi. It was still far away, and Li Yuan said loudly: "Luo Shang, where are you going? Just now, we went to the Dao Temple in the Mid-mountain Mountain and lived there at night, but we waited for you but couldn't see you. We had to go down the mountain to find you again. You were so interested that you were watching the scenery here!"

Cui Lue Shang whispered to the side: "It turns out that you have guessed it. This is the real good brother."

Fang Jie stood up with him and walked slowly towards Li Yuan and the others. Although the clothes on him were in the style of a scholar, they were not brocade clothes. So compared with the elegant young master Li Yuan, he looked naturally much shabby. However, he had a pretty face, and although he was not extremely handsome, he finally felt comfortable to see.

Li Yuan has always had the ability to remember all the time since he was a child. I remember that the young man next to Cui Lue Shang was a wild boy urinating on the hillside. At this time, I couldn't help but be surprised to see him and Cui Lue Shang standing together, but then I thought maybe this person and Cui Lue Shang were also old acquaintances, otherwise how could they be so familiar? You should know that Cui Lue Shang is an alien in Xiangcheng. Not only does he have a good relationship with the young masters of aristocratic families, but also many students from many poor families in the city have many contacts with him.

The stupidest sentence of this fool is that there are many heroes who slaughter dogs. When Li Yuan and the others heard it, they almost laughed out loud.

"Who is this?"

Li Yuan bowed his hand slightly and said to him as a polite gift. Although he couldn't find anything wrong, the unconcealed contempt on his face made people feel uncomfortable. Fang Jie was dissatisfied with the surname Li, and he felt even more disgusted with Li Yuan's noble appearance. People from aristocratic families looked like this. They looked down on those who were not as good as them, but in order to show their etiquette, they even pretended to be polite and polite to the peddlers.

This kind of artificiality seems particularly disgusting to Fangxi.

"I am a Shang family in Xia, who came from Fangu, a border town, and is a small businessman."

When it comes to acting, Fang Jie naturally won't lose to others. He clasped his fists and gave him a gift, and his waist was bent very much. The expression on his face was also humble, and his eyes even had a sense of fear that would never be doubtful. This feeling was as if he really felt inferior.

"I heard that Fan Gu's city is full of big business."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I heard that Shujin, which was sold from Xichuan to Fan Gu, can sell twice as much money as in the Central Plains? That's really a small number. Can you earn 500 cigars by one trip? Judging from Mr. Shang's demeanor, I think the annual income is dozens of cigarettes. Even if you earn dozens of cigarettes a year in Xiangcheng, you can be considered a wealthy family."

Fang Jie smiled and said, "Don't call me a young master, I have no fame."

"Ha ha"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "You are tactful and interesting."

Although the Sui Dynasty did not have any clear hierarchy for the people, since ancient times, people who do business have the most despised, scholars, farmers, industry and businessmen have the lowest status. Even the poor farmers who cannot let go of the blame meet the merchants on a narrow road, they can proudly raise their heads and wait for the other party to give way.

Fang Jie laughed a few times, then said carefully: "Mr. Cui and I hit it off at first sight. I just wanted to invite him to have a drink together in the evening. I happened to have hunted a few wild game on the mountain before. If the young masters don't dislike it, I'll drink a glass of each of them?"

The short man scolded: "Where can you have free time to drink with you? You can do whatever you should do! Lu Shang, we have already set a good table in the Taoist temple, let's go."

Cui Lue Shang looked at Fang Jie in embarrassment. As soon as he was about to apologize to him, he heard Li Yuan smile and say, "You can often eat the food in the Taoist temple on the mountain, but this brother Shang's wild game cannot. Liu Yineng, you are so vulgar. Brother Shang's kindly invites you, aren't you afraid of being cold in the hearts of Brother Shang?"

He unwrapping his chest and clasped his fists and said in a gentle and polite tone: "It's better to obey your orders than respect. I'll bother Brother Shang tonight."

His attitude changed quickly, which was admirable. Fang Jie sneered in his heart, but his face looked in fear and fear: "Please please, please, my servant thought he had already packed up the game. Tonight I will barbecue meat for the guests... Fortunately, there are a few pots of good wine in the car."

Li Yuan said a few more polite words, and while Fang Jie turned around, he lowered his voice to the short and thin man named Liu Yineng, "I almost drove away when I met a person who took the blame. I wouldn't even get this cheap... stupid!"
