Quick travel: the life of smuggling is so exciting

Chapter 38: Escape from the Troubled Times 36

The eight people walked out of the academy. It was still early, so since they were already here, they decided to go shopping.

Tired of walking, he found a teahouse to sit down and ordered a bowl of coarse tea for 1 cent. At this moment, the sound of loud conversation came from the next table, which attracted Lin Xia's attention.

She listened to the other party's conversation from beginning to end, and they were talking about the news about the current situation.

First, the virtuous king held the young emperor hostage to take over the government, and then the Rui king marched straight to the capital in the name of clearing the court of corrupt officials. Subsequently, rebel armies rose up in various places, and the Hu people took the opportunity to invade.

The world has become a mess. Seeing that the time is ripe, the hero and heroine change from sneaky development to direct confrontation. Lord Xu, the governor of Lingzhou, openly joins the hero and heroine's uprising team coming from Zhennan.

Previously, this team was unknown, but in May, it emerged with 6 people in a domineering manner, occupied Zhennan and Lingzhou, and a few days ago formally wrote a manifesto to split the two places and rebel.

The leader of the team is the male protagonist Xiao Cheng, everyone calls him King Cheng, and the female protagonist Zhou He'an is the deputy leader of the rebel army as a woman, known as General Xiao Zhou. Later everyone knew that this General Xiao Zhou Zhou He'an was the daughter of the God of War Zhou.

The two of them raised a banner, saying that they had no choice but to rebel.

The general meaning of the manifesto is that the imperial court is not doing its job properly. First, it wronged the Zhou family, persecuted loyal officials, and killed innocent people, which led to the rebellion of the Hu people. Then, the superiors were unkind, and God wanted to punish the royal family, which led to frequent natural disasters. The imperial court also indiscriminately exploited the people, making it impossible for them to survive, so the officials forced the people to rebel.

In a nutshell, there is nothing wrong with them rebelling, and there is nothing wrong with them dividing the two states.

After the uprising, the male and female protagonists invited talents from all over the world, and said frankly that they would treat them preferentially and appoint talented people regardless of their background.

Later, he extended an invitation to the lower-class people all over the world, saying that life in the Central Plains is hard, so come to Lingzhou quickly, where there is food and shelter, land distribution and tax reduction, and children have the opportunity to go to school, so hurry up!

The capable people seek to be reused, and the incapable people seek to survive. With this invitation, the threshold of Lingzhou was trampled down in an instant, and a steady stream of refugees rushed to Lingzhou.

Fearing that the people in the state would be upset, King Cheng came to power and announced a few red notices, reduced land taxes, and established academies. Everyone's attention was drawn to those things, and they simply thought that it was a good thing that Lingzhou had rebelled.

After figuring out what happened, everyone returned to the village, and Lin Xia began to deal with the remaining matters.

She rented the land to the Qi family. Since she was the one who did the farming and the Qi family only helped with the harvest, most of the grain this time belonged to Lin Xia. The land rental would officially start next year.

Lin Xia was a little melancholy. She had finally built a house, but she had only lived there for two months. After that, she had to move to a dormitory. She had never lived in a dormitory before. She heard that there were many conflicts. In her previous life, she was sick, so she had always been a day student.

If you can't get used to living here, buy a mule and continue to go to school on foot?

Well, that seems to be possible. You can go to college as a day student.

In the next few days, Lin Xiatian went into the mountains to catch wild animals every day, made a lot of meat sauce and dried meat and put them into the space. He had the illusion of dreaming back to the life in the mountains when he was fleeing famine.

She even set a trap and caught a wild boar, which caused a huge sensation in the village. Before she could take it to the county to sell it, the pig was divided up by the villagers, and she successfully earned enough money to pay for a year's tuition.

The first day of school.

Lin Xia and Qi Jia entered the academy. They were not allowed to wander around when they registered before, so only now did she see the layout of the entire academy clearly.

The academy is divided into five large courtyards. The east side is the school and canteen, the west side is the men's and women's courtyards, and the middle courtyard is the library and administrative office area.

The three children are in the same class, and Lin Xia is in another class.

After reporting, Lin Xia came to the dormitory and unexpectedly saw another modern item - bunk beds.

Lin Xia’s eyes went dark and she wanted to turn away.

The dormitory accommodates ten people, so even if she has no entertainment, she has watched TV.

The ancient dormitories on TV are luxurious and empty, while the real dormitories are simple and crowded.

There are so many people that there is not enough space.

There was already someone in the dormitory at that time, a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old. Lin Xia took the initiative to greet her and went to tidy up her bed.

She chose a bed by the window, threw it away, and flew up.

Turning her head, the little girl looked at her with sparkling eyes.

"Sister, you are so awesome!" the little girl said with great admiration.

What should I do? I really want to show off. This feels really good!

Lin Xia suppressed the curl of her lips and replied calmly, "Thank you for the compliment."

The other party introduced herself shyly but boldly. She was a child from a nearby village and her name was Li Qiran.

People from the dormitory behind came in one after another, and Lin Xia discovered that she was the oldest in the entire dormitory. The others were a group of little girls, the oldest no more than 15 years old.

The days that followed were orderly.

After staying there for a long time, Lin Xia learned that this class would be cancelled in the future, so the course duration was only two years, mainly to give young people who wanted to learn an opportunity.

Moreover, it is quite difficult to obtain both certificates. Not to mention a graduation certificate, you can get one as long as you don’t drop out of school or skip classes; but it is very difficult to obtain a degree certificate. You need to take the unified examinations of the last few major branches and reach a certain ranking before you can get it.

The difficulty of learning here is both easy and difficult for Lin Xia.

She has a foundation and always finds it easier to get started than others, but classical Chinese is not that easy to learn. The book format, reading habits, writing methods, etc. are not as well accepted by the native ancients.

It took Lin Xia more than half a year to adapt to these complicated texts.

The new school year has started, and there are fewer students in her class this year. For example, the 16-year-old girl in her dormitory got married.

Lin Xia had a particularly comfortable year. As a student herself, she made rapid progress after getting used to ancient books, and her grades were consistently among the top three in the class.

The 6th day of school.

Li Qiran ran to Lin Xia's position and asked, "Sister Lin, have you heard?"

Yes, Li Qiran replaced Qi Xiuer as Lin Xia's "new favorite", and she would like to call them the "Did you hear" duo.

The two often quarreled over who was the number one younger brother around Lin Xia. When Lin Xia was not around, they were the best sisters.

"Sister Lin, I heard that we will go to the grassroots level for internship in ten days. What is an internship?" Li Qiran asked quietly.

"How did you know that?" Lin Xia was puzzled. How come Li Qiran was just like Qi Xiuer, always knowing news that others didn't know? He was perfect to be a detective.

Li Qiran was a little embarrassed. "That's right... Just now I wanted to go to the teacher to answer questions, and then I heard her talking with Master Wang at the door, and I knew it. Sister Lin, you haven't told me what an internship is."

"Maybe we're not studying here anymore. We have to go do some work. It shouldn't take too long."

Li Qiran's information was correct. After returning from the next ten-day holiday, Lin Xia and the others were assigned to serve as volunteers in various counties in Xiping County, Xiangzhou.

It turned out that the war intensified this year, and the natural disasters in the Central Plains had not eased. King Cheng's army had a great chance of winning. They first took Yuezhou and then Xiangzhou, so that the people who had been waiting and watching came in droves.

Too many officials died or fled in the war, and many people fled from all over the place. As a result, there were not enough grassroots workers, so Lin Xia and her classmates in the school were transferred to the grassroots to help.

In this way, after Lin Xia and her group of female workers had completed their internship for a few months, they successfully transitioned into officialdom.
