Agriculture requires too much water, which is far greater than animal husbandry. It is mainly used in irrigation. If crops cannot have sufficient water, they will not be able to take roots and sprout, nor will they grow, nor will they be able to fill grout when they need to bear seeds. Anyway, almost as long as the farmland is planted, water must be needed at all times. But it is obvious that there is not much water in the river here, so there must be not many acres that can be cultivated or supported.

In the surrounding area, on the way to Zaozhi, there are also villages that are far away from water sources, whether it is plants or animals, or people and animals, who all rely on picking and pulling water.

In such a village, even survival depends on God's favor.

Different living conditions lead to inconsistent survival costs.

The inconsistency between Longyou and Hedong.

"Are we going to the village now?" Zao Zhi asked.

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "We are here... we just look at these people... don't bother them..."

『…』Zaozhi looked at the people in the village not far away.

Looking down from the hillside, you can generally see it in the village.

It was obvious that someone in the village had already discovered Zao Zhi and Jia Xu and his group, but Zao Zhi and Jia Xu had no intention of entering the village, and the people in the village did not come out to greet him.

It’s not that the people in the village do not know politeness or rules, but that they are in Longyou. Because of the terrain, they look close and not far in a straight line. In fact, to go to that village, you still need to go around a long circle...

Zao Zhi originally thought Jia Xu wanted to take him to see the teaching situation in the local area.

Because it is obvious that the level of these students in Longyou is quite low.

In the Han Dynasty, the county with the highest academic qualifications before was Yuzhou, and then Jizhou. Jizhou was a little worse than Yuzhou, but the difference was not much. Then the second one was in the areas around Jizhou and Yuzhou, such as Jingzhou Youzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Yongzhou, etc., as well as Sichuan, Shu and Hedong, and the third one was remote areas.

However, after the Cavalry entered Guanzhong, the academic level of Guanzhong area was constantly rising. Now it can be said that not only caught up with Yuzhou and Jizhou, but also tended to overtake. In this case, the surrounding academics will be driven normally. For example, in Hedong, there are obviously more people studying than in the Zhongping period.

But in Longyou, it seems that it is still a cultural desert area.

To be honest, Zao Zhi was actually a little annoyed. He was usually a gentle person, but this time he came to Longyou to take the exam and found that these students who came to Longyou to take the exam were much different from what he had expected before, and they were not at the same level at all!

Zao Zhi had previously thought that there were also excellent students in Longyou. If those who went to Chang'an Sanfu and obtained better grades were considered ten, then those who took the Jincheng local exam should have seven or eight points, but if they didn't, they would probably have five or six points?

But what Zao Zhi didn't expect was that the average level of these students who took the exam was only three or four points, the best was five or six points, and the seven or eight points were really rare. Only one and a half might be selected carefully.

This naturally made Zaozhi feel a little angry.

For the rest of the matter, Zao Zhi doubted whether these Longyou students did not have the attitude of studying hard? Do you think that they couldn’t learn well anyway, so you just study it casually and then take the exam casually. If you are lucky enough, you can pass it. If you don’t work, you will go home to farm and herd sheep?

Those outstanding Longyou students went to Chang'an Sanfu. Is the rest of them just to give up on themselves?

So is it meaningful that the General of the Cavalry specially held such an exam in Jincheng, Longyou?

However, after Jia Xu brought Zao Zhi here, he didn't say much, but just asked Zao Zhi to see it himself. Jia Xu did not talk about the difficulties of these students in studying, because isn't it difficult in other places? He also did not say that the school has not been built yet, because although there is a school in Hedong, Chang'an, many other places have no school in other places.

So Jia Xu just asked Zao Zhi to see the lives of these students. He told the village that there were students from Longyou.

But Zao Zhi didn't see anyone looking like a student.

I only saw that everyone in the village was busy...

The middle-aged man, whether it is a strong man or a strong woman, is naturally doing the most tiring farm work.

Those older people are also busy doing all kinds of trivial matters.

The half-aged child has no time to go to help with his elders or go to the mountain to chop wood and mow grass.

The younger children are responsible for caring for younger children.

The only ones who are free are those young children, those who are not good at leaving, smiling foolishly, rolling and playing on the ground.

Zao Zhi didn't quite understand what Jia Xu meant at first, but after reading it for about an hour, he gradually understood a little. He turned to Jia Xu, "Is this village considered a top-notch or a low-level one in Longyou Village?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "There are no upper, middle and lower, only the difference, and there are even worse... The village on the road that is not close to the river is even worse..."
