Chapter 24 The Times
The bright moon shines high in the sky, and the bright white light falls on the earth.
Occasionally, a breeze blew by, and the uneven trees on both sides of the county road were whirling. After a while, the low sound of chickens and dogs barking also sounded sporadically.
But it was a peaceful night!
While everything is sleeping, the bright moon slowly sinks, far away from the east, and there is a little more star!
Suddenly, the sound of messy footsteps spread out in the county government, and in the corridor under the granary, Tai Pan, who was coiled into a ball, opened his eyes!
The sound of footsteps stopped in front of the yard where the people in the car lived.
It was a group of servants holding torches, and there were more than ten children aged five or six, seven or eight.
"See sir!" The gate of the yard opened with a creaking sound, and in front of the gate, more than a dozen children bowed in a good manner.
After these children were led to the courtyard, outside the courtyard gate, the servants retreated a few steps, put out the torches in their hands, and then rested under the tree beside the road.
"The heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, and the universe is vast and vast."
"The sun and the moon are full..., Chen stays in Zhang."
...
"I serve the king with my father, and I say Yan and Jing."
In the yard, the crisp sound of reading came, and Tai Pan's head quietly poked out from the courtyard wall.
There were several tables in the yard. The more than ten children sat next to the table, and a few white cloths were spread out on the table.
These children were chanting while writing what they recited on a white cloth.
A young man in his twenties was also holding a piece of silk and writing something on the side. After a moment, the young man stood up, walked around the more than ten children for a few times, and then stopped to correct the children's typos.
Half an hour later, after all the children's writing was gone, the young man nodded with satisfaction and put down the silk in his hand.
After that, the young man began to teach these more than ten children and recognize other words.
"Thousand-character text!" On the wall, Taipan had just a little memory and recognized what the young man taught.
"Southern and Northern Dynasties?" Tai Pan's eyes moved slightly.
In that dreamlike memory, Tai Pan also knew a few scattered sentences of this thousand-character text.
Naturally, he also knew that this thousand-character text is called the best mask for literacy.
When it was dawn, the children left, while the young man was calm and calm, tidying up the brush and silk cloth in the courtyard. After a moment, a servant came and brought the white cloth full of handwriting to wash and dry it.
For a whole month, Taipan appeared on the wall of this courtyard regardless of wind and rain.
Scattered, Taipan finally completely recognized the thousand-character text.
After all, he has his own way of thinking and complete wisdom, which is essentially different from those children!
When those children are literate, they also need to consider what these words mean. Taipan only needs to recognize these words and then compare them with another word in their memory, which is enough!
After that, Taipan also took advantage of the night to enter the treasury where the county annals were stored.
In the treasury, the rolls of bamboo slips that had fallen on the ground before were still there, and there was a little dust on them.
Obviously, for more than a month, no one has entered or left in the treasury.
Taipan's eyes swept over these bookshelf one by one.
At this time, Taipan discovered that the upper left corner of each floor of these bookshelf was marked with what the bamboo slips recorded on these bookshelf were.
Criminal, people's livelihood, population...
Taipan's figure was wandering in this treasury.
Soon, Taipan found what he needed!
On the second floor of a bookshelves in the corner, there are more than ten small bamboo slips.
And in the upper left corner of this floor, there are two words "County Chronicles"!
The head and neck were raised high, and Tai Pan's head, with a little force, the more than ten small bamboo slips fell to the ground and spread out in a mess.
Taipan's eyes also swept over the spread bamboo slips.
After a few breaths, Taipan's eyes also showed a little disappointment - among these bamboo slips, there was no map he needed.
But even so, Taipan still suppressed his regret and finished reading these more than ten bamboo slips one by one.
These bamboo slips were revised by the county magistrate of Shanbei County before!
When every county lord leaves office, he will leave such a scroll of bamboo slips. The bamboo slips record the general changes in Shanbei County when the county lord is in office!
After reading these bamboo slips, Taipan finally got some understanding of Shanbei County.
Shanbei County is located in the Kingdom of Nanmu. More than a hundred years ago, the capital of Nanmu was swept by war and the royal family was forced to go west. Then it took more than a year to build this Shanbei County.
Shortly after the establishment of Shanbei County, the enemy retreated and the royal family returned to the capital, but Shanbei County was retained!
The county monarchs of Shanbei County are also sent by the royal family to serve as the royal family.
According to the records of this county annals, the royal capital of the Nanmu Kingdom is more than 300 miles south of Shanbei County.
"It's really a small country!" After reading the records of this county annals, Tai Pan also sighed in his heart.
A country has only one city and one county!
And the population is only more than 100,000!
"Huns!"
"Han!" And the two names mentioned frequently in the county annals were also remembered firmly in the heart by Tai Pan.
These are two indelible names in Baili’s memory!
Especially, ‘Han’!
What about the Han Dynasty? Taipan raised his head.
According to the records in the county chronicles, the war that swept the royal capital began because of the war between the Han and the Huns.
After the war, the Han Dynasty also sent envoys to help the royal family rebuild the royal capital.
"The war between the Han and the Huns!" The dazzling sunlight shot down from the gaps in the windowsill of the treasury to the ground, reflecting a sharp spot of light, shaped like a sword!
"That person in the car is coming to the Han Dynasty!" Taipan slowly left the treasury with his snake body that was more than three feet long.
The word Chinese almost penetrates Baili's blood memory. Taipan, who has completely received Baili's memory, will naturally be affected to a certain extent!
Almost instinctively, he developed an extraordinary interest in the distant Han Dynasty.
"If you have the chance, maybe you should go to the Han Dynasty!" After returning to the corridor of the granary, Tai Pan clanged his body and thought slowly.
Chapter completed!
