Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 99 A long road
The last step to go to the grassland is to visit the little princess. After all, he has to do what he promised. But before that, Xia Lin has to remind that bastard Lao Zhang to stop wasting time and to prepare for the new subject pre-examination next year.

The original imperial examination system was a three-year cycle. After the reform, although it is still a three-year cycle, there is an additional pre-examination system. That is, each state will have its own internal examination to screen local students.

The advantages and disadvantages of this are equally obvious, but in the current situation, the advantages are obviously greater than the disadvantages. The previous system of recommending school officials now seems to be a joke, and this pre-examination system is at least fairer on the surface. When the list is announced, the students' test papers will also be published together for everyone in the world to see clearly, and it will be clear who is a genius and who is a dish.

Let’s not talk about the disadvantages for now. Anyway, there is no such thing in the world that has only advantages and no disadvantages. The suitable one is the best.

And if Lao Zhang continues to be so keen on challenging other people, they will definitely fail the preliminaries exam known as the ghostwriting exam on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year next year.

The meeting between the two could not be public, so Xia Lin had to ask a servant to go in and inform Lao Zhang with a secret code, and then the two of them met secretly in a private room in the restaurant. If Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing could be so careful, they would not have been killed by Wu Song in the end.

"No, are you fucking crazy? Go to the grassland? Do you know where the grassland is? Is it in Aunt Six's backyard next door? It's three thousand miles away."

When Lao Zhang found out that Xia Lin was going to the grassland, he cursed: "No, you are not allowed to go!"

"Are you sick? I'm just going there for fun." Xia Lin was also quite helpless: "I'm just going there to do serious business."

"You are not allowed to go even if you want to have sex. Those barbarians on the grassland are nothing but a bunch of bastards. If you go there with your delicate skin and tender flesh, they will treat you like a temporary condom and play with you for half a month before adding water and stewing you into a pot of meat sauce."

"Why are you talking so dirty?" Xia Lin spat on the ground, "Stop demonizing me, please."

"Let me ask you a question. Who are the Five Barbarians who invaded China?"

"Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Qiang, Di."

"That's it, isn't it? You are now going to the territory of the Huns. Don't you know what those bastards did? Or did your master never tell you? How many years have passed since the Five Barbarians Invaded China? Have you forgotten? "

Old Zhang was very emotional and refused to let Xia Lin go to the grassland no matter what. He even started banging the table.

"I have no choice. I really have to go with you. The trade route must be opened. And you know there are things I want on the grassland."

Xia Lin tried to explain in every possible way. This was really for Lao Zhang. If it was someone else, even Miss Tang, Xia Lin would be in a very good mood if he said one more word. Explain, what the hell, he didn't even explain to Lao Guo.

Old Zhang crossed his arms and his face turned pale. His silent look really gave people a headache.

"Okay, stop trying to persuade me. I've already got the clearance document." Xia Lin simply laid bare his cards and placed the document given by Lao Guo on the table: "Look, it's already stamped."

Lao Zhang picked up a stool and was about to hit him. He was so angry that his eyes were red.

"You are such a bastard! Why don't you discuss this important matter with me first? Why do you have to do such a life-threatening business? What is there in the grassland that you are so obsessed with?"

"Be patient... Be patient..." Xia Lin pushed down Lao Zhang's stool and said with a playful smile, "I heard that the seven or eight month old ewes are more powerful than women."

"What the hell..."

Lao Zhang went up and kicked, but Xia Lin dodged it, and he kicked in vain and almost fell down...

After helping him to steady himself, Xia Lin stopped joking and said seriously, "I want to try to exchange some meat, eggs and milk from the grassland. Why do I choose this time? In fact, I want to bring back as much as possible. If the trade route is completed, the little sprouts will at least grow taller and stronger. Besides, the grassland is vast, so I plan to teach them farming methods and let them grow beans."

"Grow beans? You want to grow beans on the grassland? Are you blind?"

"I can't explain it to you right away. There's a large area over there that's actually very suitable for growing this thing. There's a large area of ​​black soil in Molidawa near the Xing'an Mountains. Do you know what black soil is?"

"But the battle still needs to be fought. Don't expect that you can persuade the Xiongnu. If you want to make the Xiongnu behave in a friendly way, you need sharp swords and fast horses."

"How can we get sharp swords and fast horses when we have little food and clothing?"

"The Central Plains is vast and rich in resources, but it can't afford to support your horses and swords?"

"Although the land is vast and the resources are abundant, it cannot withstand the insects that fill the mountains and the rats that fill the granaries. Some things cannot be counted on others. I have made plans. If they really tell me about the danger, they can't do anything to me with my skills. I'm not bragging to you, even if I am thrown naked on a deserted island, I can still live happily."

"Bullshit! How could I not know what you, Xia Daosheng, are like?" Old Zhang sighed, "Since you have made up your mind, just leave an old piece of clothing behind."

"What? Are you going to put a curse on me?" "Cenotaph, cenotaph! Put a curse on me! Put a curse on your mother's head!"

Seeing that there was no way to persuade Xia Lin, Lao Zhang had no other choice but to say that in order to let his soul wander without knowing where to return home, building a cenotaph for him could be considered a return to his roots.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely more comfortable than you think. As for you, stop standing there and kicking the door all day. It's time to give students questions and prepare for the exam. There are only three months left for next year's ghostwriting exam. Have you forgotten our original plan?"

"Half of the civil and military officials in the court are from Jiangxi. I know, I know. A small preliminary exam should be a piece of cake." Old Zhang was obviously very confident in this aspect: "You don't know who the teachers are in Yuzhang Academy. With their ability, they can directly pull out a court, which is more powerful than the current court."

"Zhang Zhongchun, you... Hey~" Xia Lin laughed out loud: "You are such a bastard, you really don't know how to repent. How can you be so careless with your mouth? Is it okay to say such a thing?"

"Isn't this something I'm telling you in private?"

"Not even in private. Even if you are dreaming or talking in your sleep, you cannot jump out. Otherwise, if someone catches you, even the gods and the gods cannot save the lives of your nine clans."

Lao Zhang scratched his ears impatiently: "Oh, I know, I know, it's really annoying."

After finishing his talk with Lao Zhang, Xia Lin did not stay for too long but rushed to Jiujiang Donglin Temple without stopping. After arriving there, he found that this area had become prosperous. He really had to admire Miss Tang's ability to follow up. Wherever Xia Lin had industrial investments, Miss Tang would immediately follow up with the development, and her investments were usually large, which could almost make an area prosper quickly.

Xia Lin invested in a homestay here, and Miss Tang invested in a Buddhist street nearby. Business was extremely booming, and there were even three vegetarian restaurants.

Apart from anything else, Miss Tang really believed in Xia Lin's vision, but Xia Lin felt that the direction of her investment was wrong. This place should be used to open a theme brothel, where the girls all wore grey robes and had bald heads, and were all beautiful nuns. While thrusting fiercely, they chanted the Medicine Buddha's mantra and shouted, "Buddha, have mercy on me."

However, this was just a bad idea in Xia Lin's mind, and he didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear of being scolded and sent to hell and never being able to be promoted.

As I said, good and evil are judged by actions, not by the heart. No one is perfect in the world, so it’s not against the law to think about it.

When Xia Lin arrived here, it was already night, estimated to be around eight o'clock, and the little princess's place was quiet and the door was closed. But Xia Lin was the landlord, he had the key...

He opened the door and walked in. He could hear his second brother's snoring from a distance. He tiptoed to the outside of the middle house and pushed it, but found that it could not be opened. It must be locked from the inside. However, this level of lock was like a piece of cake for him. He just picked up a tree branch and gently pushed the bolt inside to loosen it.

I quietly pushed the door open and in the moonlight I could see the little princess lying there, already asleep.

At this point Xia Lin suddenly realized, what is the difference between himself and a flower thief?
But there was no other way. He would take a boat north before dawn tomorrow morning. If he didn't come to see her tonight, she would really hate herself to death.

Coming to the little princess' bed, Xia Lin reached out and pinched her nose. After a few seconds, she woke up faintly. Seeing that there was a person beside the bed, the little princess shuddered at first, but after seeing who it was in the moonlight, she sat up from the blanket and hugged Xia Lin's neck: "I finally dreamed of you~"

The little princess has a bad habit of sleeping naked. Now that she has grown up a lot, she still only wears a pink ruffled bellyband.

"Hey, Your Highness. This is not a dream. This is real."

"It doesn't matter if it's a real person. We'll sleep together anyway." The little princess didn't care at all. She was used to blushing. "How did you get in?"

“I’m the landlord.”

The little princess uttered a long "oh" and leaned in: "Want to come play?"

"What the hell! I just came to say goodbye to you."

Before she finished speaking, the little princess's eyes were already filled with tears. Xia Lin had previously thought that the sparkling starry eyes in cartoons did not exist, but the little princess portrayed them perfectly.

"Why are you crying? I told you before that I'm going to the grassland."

Xia Lin gently patted the little princess' back. It must be said that her skin was truly top-notch, whiter than fat and softer than silk. It could be said to be the best in the world.

"You touched me!" The little princess looked up at Xia Lin's chin: "I'll untie my bellyband and let you touch it, okay?"

"I am taking pictures! Don't make me sound like a pervert! No, what's wrong with you? Where is the good Tuoba Qian from before? Who did you learn this from?"
