After Bai Zijin's explanation, Ning Jiang finally realized it.

Baizijin's grandfather Bai Chu once made military achievements in the Miao people who wiped out the Xiling rebellion, awarded merits and a national pillar, and had a fief of thousands of households.

Unlike other Confucian generals, Bai Chu was not even a juren, but was born a scholar, joined the army, became a centurion, made contributions step by step, and awarded merits to the national pillar. Among the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was also an alternative.

In fact, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, almost all those who were able to be awarded titles or awarded medals were Confucian generals, and military generals were said to be very few. However, Bai Zijin's grandfather Bai Chu was not the kind of military general who directly charged on the battlefield. His military power was just mediocre. As for literary spirit, the literary spirit of scholars was almost useless on the battlefield.

A scholar who is neither a military general nor a Confucian general was able to become a famous general step by step from a centurion to a medal, which to some extent also shows his uniqueness.

Of course, it should be noted here that the Great Zhou Dynasty, which governed the military with its civil and civilized powers, has been reduced since the vassal of power, in order to prevent the generals from gaining their own troops from becoming more respectful, all the honorary titles and fiefs are of nobility, and even if they are granted kings and princes, they do not have substantial territory. The fiefs are only converted into silver and are paid with the monthly salary.

Although he was awarded a medal for the National Pillar, because he was just a scholar, he was naturally not valued in this era when his status was judged by the imperial examination. Despite this, he was still a scholar who had passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination. Compared with ordinary generals who had been through the imperial examination and died in front of him, he was covered in scars and had all the contributions he had taken away by the Confucian general after he came back, he was much better than those ordinary generals who had lived and died and had suffered from death after he returned.

Bai Chu was only forty-three years old when he died. After his death, his only son Bai Boliang started as Yunqiwei. Although he did not go to the imperial court, he relied on the north to fight against the barbarians who often plundered the borders and gradually won the commander of Shangqingche. It can be said that he was a tiger father without a dog son.

However, just a few years ago, in the northeast, barbarians were in chaos.

Although the Beiluo people belonged to the barbarians, they had actually become naturalized. In the Beiluo area, the barbarians and Chinese people were mixed with each other and had always been at peace. However, from when, more and more Beiluo people joined the Zoroastrianism and even connected under the eyes of the local government. Overnight, these Beiluo people picked up machetes and massacred Chinese people everywhere.

The local officials were unable to suppress them, and they all fled back to the Central Plains. Most of the Chinese people in the Beiluo area were killed. At this time, Bai Boliang, who knew that the Beiluo riot had not received the imperial order, led his troops into Beiluo and forcibly suppressed the local mob.

If it were just like this, it would be better. After seeing the tragic situation of the massacre of Chinese people, especially after seeing a large number of babies being burned to death by the Zoroastrian mobs, Baiboliang did something far beyond the scope of the Confucian way of benevolence and forgiveness that could be allowed... Kill prisoners!

As long as the barbarians who had joined the riots, whether they put down their swords or not, they would push them into the river or not. Under Bai Boliang's indulgence, the Chinese people who had survived the disaster and the soldiers picked up swords and guns, killing the Beiluo barbarians into blood.

This incident directly caused a shock to the court. What is the way to be kind and forgive? What is the desire to love the people? It is a taboo to dispatch troops without authorization. It is a crime to indulge officers and soldiers, and the people's massacres are unforgivable. For a time, countless civil officials took the books of sages and submitted memorials, and the local officials in charge of Beiluo also took the opportunity to put all the responsibilities on Bai Boliang.

Bai Boliang was dismissed from office and was sentenced to prison, and his family's property was confiscated. In the end, during the trial of the Sansi, he vomited blood and died of insults by countless officials. His wife committed suicide after her husband's death, leaving only a minor orphan and a mother with fair hair.

After Bai Boliang died of shame, the satisfied Confucian officials finally let go of his orphan and widowed mother, and allowed Bai Boliang's mother Feng to take her grandson to return to her hometown and return to their hometown. However, although Baijia, according to her hometown, was from Chengyuan County, Guchu County, Tongzhou, she was not a big family before. Bai Chu and Bai Boliang and his son had almost never returned to their hometown in their lives. The Great Zhou Dynasty's regulations that the officials and generals of other places had always been officials and other places had also allowed the grandparents and grandchildren to know almost no one in this so-called "hometown".

What's more, the trees fell and the money scattered. The people they made friends with in the past were all afraid of avoiding it. Who would be willing to help them? Although Baijia still has a few acres of land in Chengyuan County, Feng's family is already old and Baizi Jin was also rich in food and food when they were young, so where could they grow land?

The food grown can barely fill your stomach, but I can't even pay the land tax.

Fortunately, Bai Zijin was finally more successful. This year's Tongsheng exam was successively admitted to Tongsheng and Scholar. Although it was the last of the episcopic students, the land tax could be reduced from this year. However, if Ning Jiang had not arrived just in time, he would have been forced to sell land if he failed to pay the land tax last year. Even if he was exempted from the land tax, what would it be?

Unexpectedly, Bai Zijin's life experience was like this, Ning Jiang couldn't help but feel a little sad.

But to some extent, this is also a helpless thing.

In the history of another world, when literati have mastered complete discourse power, such things are always inevitable. For example, Di Qing, Yue Fei, and Qi Jiguang, it is difficult to have a good ending, and this world with literary spirit is far more important than another world.

Because it was summer, the sky was darker and slower. Despite this, the afterglow of the golden crow was slowly fading away. The sound of frogs appeared in the fields, and the moon was already rising, but it looked pale and inconspicuous in the sky where the sunset was not over.

Ning Jiang said: "Since Brother Zijin has passed the mansion examination, why not try this year's autumn examination?"

Bai Zijin said helplessly: "My family is in trouble. Not to mention that I can't afford a good teacher, I can't even afford a few books. This time I was able to pass the exam for the extracurricular student because of luck. I originally thought that I would go to the county school first, and wait for the autumn to take a look..."

Ning Jiang shook his head and said, "The lecturers in the county school are mostly scholars who cannot pass the imperial examination, and even children who cannot pass the imperial examination. They are basically all elementary school children. Since Brother Zijin is interested in the imperial examination, why not go to the provincial capital with me to attend Tangyu Academy?"

Bai Zijin lowered his head and remained silent.

Of course Ning Jiang knew what he was hesitating about.

At least he needs a student to be a state school for free. Baizijin is just an affiliated student, and he needs money to enter the prefecture school. He can't even afford to pay the land tax, so he is afraid that he can't even pay the travel fee to Tongzhou. How can he afford to attend the state school?
