Ren Baqian told Tong Zhenye about his visit in the guest room, and Tong Zhenye stroked his beard: "I do have a grandson, who is eighteen this year, and his strength is not bad."
Ren Baqian originally planned to borrow a few people of similar strength, but he didn't expect Tong Zhenye to have a grandson, which is not bad.
"But he seems to have teamed up with a few friends..."
Only then did Tong Zhenye speak the second half of the sentence, choking back what Ren Baqian was about to blurt just now.
Why do you still tell me this about a team, to show off that you have a grandson
Ren Baqian began to feel that it might be a mistake for him to find the old clapper of Tong Zhenye, this old man was not reliable at all.
"Or, you can take Tonglan with you."
Ren Baqian almost stopped spraying. I'm going to grab the light, what's the matter with such a little Luoli
"Look, she's better than you. At least you can't beat her. I think she will dislike you as a burden, but if the old man comes forward, she can still agree. Over the years, there have also been women's teams participating in grabbing lights." Tong Zhenye spread his hands road.
Tong Zhenye's words made Ren Baqian unable to utter a single rebuttal, he was really no match for that little Luoli.
"I can borrow a few servants with the strength of the earth wheel, and you can also use people from the Ministry of Industry. As for Tonglan, it's fine. It's not good if she goes to grab the lamp and gets hurt." Ren Baqian said.
Tong Zhenye looked at Ren Baqian with caring eyes for a long time, and even he felt uncomfortable, so Tong Zhenye said:
"Do you think that young people with that strength are Chinese cabbages? At that age, they have that strength, they have already joined the army, and they are worthy of training in the army. How can they be servants? Most of them are at this age and have this strength. The children of officials in the court, or the talented people among the ordinary people in Lancheng. The young people who perform well in the annual lamp grabbing, if they have no family background, they will be sent to the army or the security department or supervision department immediately. "
Ren Baqian was taken aback for a moment, the guards in the palace were all earth-level, and he was used to seeing them, but he forgot this.
However, the second half of what Tong Zhenye said was something he didn't know before. It turned out that this grabbing light also had the effect of selecting talented young people.
But think about it, this is indeed a good way.
Ren Baqian thought of something because of this: "Do we have any examinations like martial arts?"
"What is martial arts?" Tong Zhenye asked strangely.
Ren Baqian roughly said it once, Tong Zhenye stroked his beard and said, "It's almost the same meaning as Daxia's martial arts test."
But this martial arts test really doesn't exist in Dayao.
Because Dayao founded the country seventy years ago, in fact, he has experienced three emperors.
The first one was Yapeng, the founding emperor. In his era, Dayao could be said to be full of masters everywhere, and no one randomly pulled out by the court was weak.
In addition, the strong people of the ancient clan have a long life span, and they don't need to be replaced by the old and the new like in other countries. The court is already full of carrots and pits, so they don't pay much attention to the selection of talents.
But that group of people disappeared with Yapeng.
According to Ren Baqian's words, he was obsessed with cultivating immortals and disappeared.
But everyone knows that there must be something they don't know, maybe only when they reach the strength of Yapeng can they know.
Hongwu's biggest wish for so many years is to find out why those people left and where they went.
According to his guess, it should be deep in the 60,000 mountains.
The second emperor was Xiandi, who reigned the longest, forty-two years.
When he succeeded to the throne, it was also when Dayao was at his weakest, almost all the strong men of the older generation left with Yapeng. At that time, he selected some talents, some of them were the descendants of the previous strong men, such as Tong Zhenye and Hong Wu, and some were young masters selected from the stockade in the 60,000 mountains. Among several Protectorate Houses.
Among them, the more famous one is Nandu Hufu Duhu Xiwangu, whose strength is not much weaker than that of Hongwu, but Hongwu is already over 60 years old this year, while Xiwangu is only over 40 years old.
I believe that when he reaches Hongwu's strength, his strength will not be weaker than Hongwu's.
The prestige is also extremely prosperous in the Dayao Dynasty, especially among the survivors of the Hao Kingdom in the south, the color of their faces changes when they hear about it.
Then there is the Empress.
The first emperor came back seriously injured after going out once, and then entrusted Gu to Hongwu, and then disappeared.
At present, the people in the Great Yao Dynasty are still the group left by the late emperor.
Because of these reasons, Dayao did not have a talent selection system similar to martial arts like Daxia did.
It's a referral-like system.
In addition to the above historical reasons, there is another important point, that is, most civilians have no culture, and the best way out is to improve step by step in places like the army.
And these children of high officials in the court, although not highly educated, are at least literate, and they have been exposed to a wide range of knowledge since childhood, and they are sent to various departments after passing certain examinations.
After chatting with Tong Zhenye for a while, Ren Baqian understood some of Dayao's current patterns.
In the final analysis, the founding time is too short, and the lifespan of the ancient strong is too long, such as Hongwu, Xiwangu, Tongzhenye, Qinchuan and others can almost live to about 200 years old, there is no worry about the replacement of the old and the new, So nobody realizes the problem.
It may take another few decades to hundreds of years before the hidden dangers will become apparent.
Ren Baqian chatted with Tong Zhenye a lot, someone knocked on the door to announce lunch, Ren Baqian realized that it was already noon, and hurried back to the palace.
This trip to Tongfu, Ren Baqian's team had three more people, the little girl Tonglan and Tong Zhenye's two nephews.
There are three guards in the palace plus myself, there are four people, and there are still three people left at this time.
After thinking about it, Ren Baqian thought of someone he knew, but he didn't know how he was doing, whether he had a team now.
Du Changkong, whom he met during Fenghun, showed off his crossbow, which caused a lot of trouble.
At that time, I was going to exchange things from the earth with him for exercises, but it didn't work in the end, and I haven't seen him since.
Although this Du Changkong is a pig teammate, Ren Baqian still has a good impression of him.
The next day, after some inquiries, I came to the Du Mansion.
Ren Baqian is also considered a well-known figure in Lancheng, no matter where he goes, as long as people see the guards around him, they will immediately know who he is.
Every day with a group of palace guards ostentatious little boy, there is no one else but him.
"Second Young Master just went out, Renfu Cheng might as well stay in the mansion later, I'll look for it right away." The big man acting as the guard cupped his hands.
"No, just tell me where it is."
"It's probably drinking in the Shanhuai Tower at this time!" said the big man.
"Shan Huai Lou, what a strange name, do you know where it is?" Ren Baqian turned his head and asked.
"It's on Jingyang Street. It's opened by people from Shanhuaizhai. Usually, there are many children of the court and middle-aged adults there." Xu Wei said from the side.
Ren Baqian nodded: "The meeting place for the second generation of officials!"
After a while, Ren Baqian appeared in front of a shop with his guards. This shop was not very eye-catching, and there was no sign on it, except that there were two square wooden signs hanging on the door, one said wine and the other said meat.
"It's quite interesting!" Ren Baqian laughed, and said to Xu Wei: "Go up and call Du Changkong down, so I won't go up."
"That guy actually came here." Someone on the second floor of the restaurant looked down and said in surprise.
"Who?" Someone next to him also raised his head to take a look. "Why is it him! Kite, you have come to the enemy."
"Kite has so many enemies, how can she know who it is." Someone beside him laughed, and the others laughed too.
Liu Ruoyao directly picked up the wine jar and threw it at it. The man pushed the bottom of the jar with his bare hands, and he immediately turned upwards when he was flying sideways. I'm not being polite."
"She gritted her teeth as soon as she mentioned it, but that enemy was helpless!" the young man who had raised his head to look out the window turned his head and said.
The dozen or so people suddenly fell silent.
As soon as this was said, everyone knew who it was, and everyone mentioned it a lot these days.
Then everyone asked a question: "What is he here for?"
"Is Du Changkong here?" Xu Wei went up to the second floor and asked.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to a mature-looking man next to him, who seemed to be in his thirties or forties.
"Me?" Du Changkong pointed at himself in surprise, but he didn't expect that he was looking for him. After such a long time, he thought that the other party had already forgotten him.
"Cheng Ren, please go down and chat for a few words." Xu Wei cupped his hands and said.
