Chapter 412

The imperial examination time set by Qin Yu is the fifth day of October, which is less than the tenth day. At this time, Wuchang City is overcrowded, and all restaurants and inns are full.

There are as many as 30000 or 40000 students just registering for the imperial examination. The reason why there are so many people is that Qin Yuding's standard is too low.

No matter whether you have merit or not, as long as you can write your name, native place and age, you can sign up for the imperial examination. Therefore, basically, all the scholars in the South can come, including a large number of people fishing in troubled waters.

These scholars, from beautiful and young teenagers to white haired elders, naturally gather together to talk about world events.

Due to the complexity of the staff, quarrels can be seen everywhere in the restaurants and inns every day, and some even make big moves, without any atmosphere of the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty in previous years.

On the Yellow Crane Tower, cultural meetings are held every day. All those who can go to participate are famous talents. Those without merit and fame can't get close. It can be said to be very lively.

The busiest place also belongs to Wu lake on the North Bank of Wuchang, because it seems to have become the second Qinhuai River. There are no fewer than dozens of flower boats wandering in the lake every day, and the sound of songs and dances will soon spread to the military camp not far away.

Most of these flower boats came from the south of the Yangtze River. They wanted to make a big fortune. There was no way. A large number of talents from the south of the Yangtze River poured into Wuchang, making the Qinhuai River more deserted than in the past.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called brothel prostitutes always followed the pace of talents. Without the pursuit of literati talents, they were nothing.

These flower boats carrying famous prostitutes, along the river, dragged by sailboats, came together all the way, which can be described as very spectacular.

The reason why I dare to make a fortune in Wuchang is that most of the owners of these flower boats are merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.

These people have been doing business with the state of Daqin for one or two years. They still know the state of Daqin better. They know that it is not so terrible as rumored. On the contrary, they are very reasonable. In addition, there are many talented scholars and scholars, so they dare to make a fortune on the territory of the state of Daqin.

……

"Where's the sound of musical instruments?"

Qin Huan was going to Wuchang on a warship that had just been launched, but not far from the Han River Estuary, he heard the sound of singing and dancing downstream.

"Back to the king, it should be uploaded from the flower boats in Wu lake. In the afternoon, those flower boats will set out from Wuchang wharf to Wu lake. It is said that the cheapest flower boat also needs twenty liang of silver to go up, and the most expensive one needs hundreds of Liang. There is a big one. It is said that silver alone is not enough..."

A navy captain nearby hurriedly explained, and a look of longing appeared on his face, as did all the other sailors.

"Flower boat? Where is the flower boat from Wuchang? " Qin Huan glanced at them and frowned.

"King Hui, there are dozens of ships from Jiangnan. The earliest one has been here for three months."

"These guys can do business!"

"Turn around and go to Wu lake. I want to see the so-called talents and beauties." Qin Huan said coldly and waved his hand.

"Yes!"

The captain quickly replied, and then ordered the warship to turn around. It was only half a incense burning time that the 400 load behemoth came to the mouth of Wuhu.

Qin Huan stood on the deck on the second floor and looked up. He saw dozens of luxurious flower boats driving slowly in the center of the lake. The closer the distance, the clearer the noise in his ears.

Qin Huan was very angry. He planned to be a naval base in the future. Who would have thought that he was made a mess by these people.

"Shoot two shots, then shout and let them all lean together for inspection!" Qin Huan waved.

Boom

After a while, two loud noises sounded in my ears, and two strands of white smoke rose from the front deck.

At this time, some people on the flower boat had noticed the fast approaching behemoth, and the sound of the two guns startled all the flower boats.

After the gunfire, the lively singing and dancing stopped suddenly, and then came the sound of panic. Among the countless screams, there were more than a dozen plops.

On one of the largest and most luxurious flower boats, hundreds of men and women crowded on the top of the flower boat. Looking at the warship not far away, their faces changed greatly.

"Where did such a war ship come from? What do they want? "

"Little Wan, don't worry. The puppet Qin is even learning from scholars. I'm afraid they don't dare to treat us."

"Yes, we are here to take part in the imperial examination of the state of Qin. If they dare to mess around, it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world. Who dares to come in the future?"

As soon as a woman with picturesque eyebrows and eyes and extraordinary beauty finished asking, the two talented men next to her hurriedly said that other scholars nodded frequently when they heard the speech, but although they pretended to be calm, they were still worried.

After all, these days they attacked the king of China and the state of Qin for nothing. Who knows if they leaked it out and sent someone to take them.

The biggest flower boat is not to collect money like other boats, because the condition of boarding is not silver, but talent. Unless invited by the owner of the flower boat, even more money will not come.

Although there are many talented people on the roof, there are only a dozen women. In addition to four famous prostitutes with excellent appearance and temperament, all the others are dressed up for servant girls, and four of them are vaguely the first among the many talented people.

Just when all the people on the flower boat were at a loss, there was a neat and uniform shout from the warship in front. When they heard that they were asked to close up for inspection, everyone was relieved and angry.

"That's unreasonable. We didn't violate the law of the state of Qin when we played again. Why should they check it?"

"Such unreasonable demands must not be allowed."

"Yes, if they dare to forcibly board the ship and search, we will disperse separately. It's OK not to participate in the imperial examination."

"That's right. This imperial examination is a joke. It's a great fallacy that even those ordinary people can participate in it. I originally planned to humiliate the Hua king on the test paper. Now it seems that it's a waste of paper and ink."

"In my opinion, the puppet Qin did not respect scholars and advocated Qin law. It was the second violent Qin."

With an angry voice of accusation and abuse, there were two loud sounds, which sounded again.

The shocking thing is that this time there was not only gunfire, but also two shells fell into the water, arousing two huge splashes, only about ten feet from the nearest flower boat.

This time they were really flustered. Although the Wu lake was large, there was no place to land. The outlet of the lake was blocked again. They couldn't even get ashore and escape.

When the cry came again, the people dared not scold any more. They quickly ordered the boat operators to get close, one by one, and then tied together.

Only the largest flower boat didn't move. Finally, it was isolated and stood out from the crowd.
