I have a book of luck from

Pingcang County gets its name from the most famous mountain near the county, Cangshan.

Although it is not a thousand zhang of Danya, Qingbi Wanxun, but it is also a strange wood and lush and like Deng Lin.

On the official road leading to the county seat of Pingcang, a horse-drawn carriage moved smoothly and quickly, and it was an old-fashioned style to see that the driver was driving.

Che Zhou Rui was half lying down, chattering in his mouth, while Zhou Bai was lifting the window curtain, taking a look at the surrounding scenery and terrain, and his thoughts flew.

The continuous Cangshan Mountain semi-encircles the entire Pingcang County, and if you want to cross the Cangshan Mountain, except for a few hunters and collectors, only the bitter pass that the government has opened up at great cost can pass.

Zhou Bai once went to see the Bitter Pass and was really a husband and a man, and the pass was set up with a relevant city, and there were military villages on both sides, and the guards were strict.

The reason for such precautions is because Pingcang County is the farthest “ripe” county in the north, and further north, it is the “new” county that was recently established by Jiazi, and the enemy attacks of the grassland are constantly harassing.

In fact, Pingcang County was established less than a hundred years ago, it was opened up when Daxu was at the peak of its national strength, but with Cangshan Mountain as a barrier, its development was not inferior to that of ordinary inland counties. At the beginning, the

Cangshan bandits colluded with the hostile forces in the grassland and the northern territory, and became a self-contained, and resisted the rule of the imperial court in the Ming Dynasty, which hindered the great strategy of opening up border states.

Due to the excessive consumption of military and material resources, the imperial court issued an edict to attract displaced people and small families from the interior to move to the border with various preferential policies.

It was in this context that the major families came to Pingcang County, gathering the heroes and displaced people, fighting with the Cangshan group of thieves and fighting for the land for the clansmen to inhabit.

The last few families that contributed the most became county tyrants and settled in the county seat, while many small families such as the Zhou family were scattered in the countryside and became the lowest townspeople.

The Zhou family was quite lucky, and with meritorious contributions, they earned thousands of acres of good land for the next generation, and there was also a meritorious name for the same person.

It is this famous name that allows the second generation of ancestors to lead the family to establish themselves in Pingcang County, and even turn into ancestral spirits after death, truly consolidating the foundation.

Although Tongju is a special member of the imperial court and the end of the class of people, there are no fewer privileges that should be had, and it is not surprising that they support a rural framework.

In the following decades, Zhou Jiaxiu did not have a fault, and produced a real person, the third generation of ancestors in the sense of family contribution, and he pushed the Zhou family to a real old township.

It is a pity that there is no successor in the latter name, and many of the benefits earned by the third generation ancestors have not been preserved, and the county Haojia is always out of reach.

Of course, it is also located in Pingcang County, and many small families can maintain the character of the township even if they cannot rush to the county hao, and will not fall into the nameless small clan that does not fall into the stream.

There is an unwritten rule in this world’s humane court, the Daxu Dynasty still continues, that is, the imperial court should open the side as much as possible, and the evaluation of the previous dynasty in later generations, its development of territory occupies a very heavy weight.

It is said that the average humane dynasty is only three hundred years, but there are many humane dynasties in this world that are more than three hundred years old, as evidenced by the 325 years since the founding of Daxu.

In this, expanding the territory to reduce social contradictions is not a key factor affecting the life of the dynasty.

In order to open up Xinjiang, Daxu gave a lot of rewards to the pioneers, and the co-lifters of the second generation ancestor of the Zhou family were only a small aspect, and the real preferential treatment was the whole. For example, in the imperial examination, Xiucai’s

meritorious name needs to go through the county examination (children’s students), the county examination, and the academy examination, but in the newly established place, the county examination can obtain the meritorious name of Xiucai after the county examination.

Coupled with the decline of the cultural context in the border areas, with the blessing of the policy, even if it is still difficult to win the examination, it is not much less difficult than that of the inland prefectures and counties.

Many villagers are like the Zhou family, always maintaining a number of showmen to maintain their family personality, passing it on from generation to generation. The

time limit for the newly established land is within a hundred years, and it has been ninety-five years since the establishment of Pingcang County, which means that if the Zhou family cannot raise a person, they will only have two opportunities to enjoy preferential treatment at most. The number of places in the county examination is several times that of the academy examination, and the

difficulty of obtaining merit in the academy examination can be imagined, it is not surprising that the clan attaches so much importance to the blessing quota, and even destroys the sorting rules, and strives to produce a few more talents in these two sessions.

But in a sense, this kind of involution of the Pingcang County clans has accumulated a certain amount of strength for the arrival of the great calamity, which is consistent with the pace of some family clans, and Zhou Bai’s heart is a little strange.

“Zhou Bai, didn’t you hear me talk? I also let you ride in my father’s carriage, kind as a donkey’s liver and lungs. At this time, Zhou Rui’s somewhat angry voice came. Zhou

Bai smiled slightly at Zhou Rui and said, “Listen, listen, Zhou Datian’s niece is Zhou Heyun’s roommate, so Zhou Heyun and even the third room will definitely target me?”

Zhou Rui’s chubby face turned a little anxious, and said, “Yes, I’m not afraid, anyway, my father arranged for me to go out for business.” You shouldn’t give up the quota, you don’t know how much support the clan has for this county trial, do you really want to be assigned a manor? The

county seat was getting closer and closer, Zhou Bai stretched out his head to look at the terrain environment, and then comforted Zhou Rui: “Haha, you yourself said that the imperial examination is not only based on luck, how come I can’t do it?”

“You… Alas, when I said all the way in vain! Let’s see if you can get a child, and then you can divide a better manor. ”

…… The

Daxu Dynasty has a vast territory, stretching from the ocean in the east, the dead desert in the west, the 100,000 mountains in the south, and the boundless grassland in the north, an area of hundreds of millions of dollars.

There are forty-eight states, hundreds of county towns, and thousands of county towns and market towns.

And even if it is compared in the entire Daxu, Pingcang, which is a border city in the northern territory, is also a front-end existence.

The county seat is full of the roughness of the “new” place, the city wall is high, and the arrow tower, enemy platform, and corner platform are all lined up, but it is rare to see the armored sergeant who matches it.

Sheltered by the Cangshan Mountains, Pingcang County has been in the area for decades, not only can it be called a large county in terms of area, but even the population living in the population has gradually caught up with the middle and lower levels in the mainland.

There are more than 100,000 people in the county, and the population scattered in the countryside and li is at least two or three times, plus the hidden slaves, the strength of the major families is really not weak. At the gate

of this bustling city, the carriage engraved with the Zhou family’s mark was not inspected by the pawns, and the old man driving the carriage skillfully dropped a few copper coins and galloped towards the city. Near the county

house, Zhou Rui pointed to the distant horse driveway: “This old style is not simple, the old horseman that my father often uses, if I don’t want the county test, he won’t send me at all.”

“Well, put it in the clan as a ten-person enemy, and it is not a problem to clean up a few thieves.” Zhou Bai replied lightly.

This is the family heritage, even if it is just a one-room lineage, it can cultivate such a good hand, except for their weak power in the seventh room.

Zhou Rui was taken aback, and said with some doubt: “You can also see this?” Then I will also be the next person.

“Let’s go, nothing is more important than the county test, just go to the inn and stay, there is no disrespect.”

Although there is still time to register tomorrow, there are already many scholars lining up in front of the county, all from ten miles and eight towns.

However, the Zhou family did not need to queue up, just a notification, and immediately two errands came to lead the way.
