Transmigrated as a Prison Gaurd
chp 4
2 days later, the Kim family got up early in the morning to go to the Lee's house. little uncle Lee namjoon , mother said he was the most knowledgeable person in the family.
Mr & Mrs. Kim carefully described Taehyung's amnesia to the lee family again.
When Taehyung was injured, they didn't tell the family members. Today, Mrs Kim couldn't hide it anymore, So she come to inform them. Taehyung's Grandma was so angry that she chased, Mrs Kim all over the yard to beat her up.
His little uncle gave him a copy of "introductory knowledge" which was also the first book he saw here.
Why would he give him such a book? Because he doesn't recognize the writing of this world at all!
He, Kim Taehyung, was the top student who graduated from the top institution in his previous life. Now he has become a illiterate who doesn't recognize big characters. Previously, he wanted to find a book to read at the Kim's house and turn the whole house upside down, but couldn't even see the shadow of book. When he asked his mother, she rolled her eyes at him.
According to his mother, the 2 siblings only went to school for half a year, barely recognized some words and then refused to go again. The 2 siblings even burned the books for recognizing words as a firewood. Madam Kim was so angry that she chased after them for miles with the fire stick until the 2 siblings snaked back Home in the dark.
At first, he guessed there since he could understand the language here, he would be able to understand the writing here more or less. As a result on the way to the Grandma's house, he found all the signboards with the boards on sides of streets were unrecognizable to him. Kim Taehyung freaked out inside, he couldn't accept that he was an Illiterate. So he had no choice but to seek help from his uncle hard heatedly.
Kim Taehyung
Uncle, I can't even recognize characters. Can you teach me?
He said carefully to his uncle. Kim taeyon, who was on the side, heard that his brother want to recognize words again, so he said
Kim taeyon
Brother, if you want to recognize words you can ask me. Uncle works for minister jeon. It's not convenient for him to teach you. It would be more convenient if I teach you
Namjoon hit his nephew on the head with a book and said
Lee namjoon
With those 3 or 5 words you recognize, how dare you say you will teach your brother?
Kim taeyon shrugged his shoulder and didn't dare to speak anymore. What's more, his mother would chase him all over the room with stick if we speak more.
Namjoon turned around and look at Taehyung
Lee namjoon
Do you really want to learn?
Kim Taehyung
I do. I want to learn!
Lee namjoon
You Can learn, but you have to promise not to quit halfway.
Kim Taehyung
I promise I will study hard.
Namjoon got up and took him to tHe study in the house, a small storage room full of books. he flipped through a few of the bookshelf and took out a book he turned around and say to Taehyung
Lee namjoon
Here, this copy of" introductory knowledge" is an introductory book for beginners to recognize words. After finishing it, you will basically be able to recognize words.
Kim Taehyung
Thank you, uncle.
Kim Taehyung
Uncle, can you tell me about the situation of the country first?
Namjon was really shocked by his nephew. It turned out that after losing memory one's personality could change so much. in the past, he would get a headache as soon as he saw books, forcing him to read would make him run out all the day and not come back home. However, before teaching Taehyung words, he briefly introduced the human geography of this country.
He also learned that this continent he is in now, not replaced by the Han dynasty after the fall of Qin dynasty, but it was divided to more than a dozen countries. Among them, The 5 most powerful countries are the Da Wei dynasty, Da Liang dynasty, The ye dynasty, Da Qing dynasty and the Da Yan dynasty.
He is now in Da Ye dynasty, the country that is culturally strong, but militarily weak. The 5 countries have been at peace for decades now. Despite seemingly peaceful on surface, the undercurrents have been surging years ago, especially Da Wei country, relying on its strong military power, it has harassed the other countries for many times
Taehyung only hopes that there will be no war so that he can live out his life Peacefully here.
The words here were more complicated than the traditional Chinese character Taehyung, barely recognized 20 to 30 words that afternoon, which fall far short of what the special agent Kim Taehyung required for himself. But his uncle said that his word recognition speed was already very fast.
The day passed quickly. When leaving namjoon gave him the copy of" introductory knowledge" plus a set of writing brushes, ink paper and ink Stone as a reward for his eagerness to learn. he also made an appointment, that after getting off the work at the ministry of justice every day, he would go to the back door at the jeon residence to teach him 10 big words every day before going home.
The 2nd day after returning from Grandma's house, Mrs. Kim took Taehyung to get familiar with the roads in the capital, the chongren district in the east is mainly residential area for The prestigious families. the roads there are paved with deep blue Stone and towering tall buildings lined both sides of the road. Golden lay. Styles, tall eaves and red carved railings, The Jade pillars would all be natural treasures in the modern times. People born here are also most powerful in this Dynasty, they can decide the ordinary people's life-and-death at anytime.
The jeon residence, where a namjoon work is in this area. The staff in the residents' area usually don't have the qualification to get out from the front gate, they go out from the streets behind and the ministry of justice where Taehyung works just happened to be on the street behind the jeon residence.
the street is also no. 1 in the capital, known as chongren street. It goes straight from east to west edge of the capital. If there is no handling of cases, it is usually very quite here. Therefore, it's very convenient for Taehyung to find namjoon here.
The Central part of the street is the most bustling place in the capital. The streets on both sides are full of tea, houses, bars, pawn shops, workshops, inns, brothels, food shops all the way to the west. There are also many small vendors hawking on the open space to both sides of the street. It is dazzling with all kinds of goods and very lively. Arriving at the west, it is the largest trade market in the capital. It accommodates all kinds of transactions such as human trafficking, foreign horse-trading, etc. It is also known as west market by the people, and it is also, the place where death row prisoners are beheaded as public warnings.
Next to The west market are the large residential areas in the capital, the houses are mostly inhabited by civilians, hawkers walking through streets and some low-ranking officials working in the government. the area of each house is not large, some can even hear the voice of neighbors while standing in their own yard. It is also known as the civilian area.
Taehyung's house is in wui alley in this area, mostly surrounded by low-ranking officials working in government. his younger brother, who works at the prefecture of jingzhao, is also in this area. He is always the last to go out and earliest to come back home every day.
His maternal grandfather's family lives in the south. Generally, middle and high-ranking officials, some out of town students as well as many healthy businessmen lived there. There are many academic setup. Some are established by the rich merchants who spend huge amount of money to hire knowledgeable person as teachers.
Those with the qualifications will be supported and provided with free conditions to read in the future so that they can protect the merchants after rising high, those without qualifications will have to bear the tuition fee, the abacus of businessman always makes a cracking sound. Some other academics are set up by the court, the teachers are famous Scholars. Outstanding talents are selected from the folks to receive training. Ordinary people can hardly get selected.
To put it in modern people's terms, they are top students among top students, child prodigies and how many such people are there in reality?
The last kind of Academy is some private schools opened by the people who have read some book but have no great achievements, in order to enlighten the ordinary children from common families and make a living.
Those from prestigious families have their own family schools. Knowledge is regarded as private property of families in This era, it is generally not easily imported to the outsiders. So people from prestigious families, all study in their own family schools, the books they collect, are what many outsiders desperately want, but cannot obtain. this is also why prestigious families can pass down from generation to generation.
There are also a lot of people who come here to study every day. Although official positions are granted based on recommendations in this dynasty, the primary prerequisite to be recommended is that you have to have true skills and profound knowledge. Therefore, children of suitable age or clever ones from families that can afford, will be bought here to recognize some words and try their luck.
In the north of the capital is the most noble place in the entire Da ye dynasty, The Imperial palace. the entire palace is surrounded by a very wide moat. Two extremely long, white Jade bridges lie across the moat, which are also the only 2 roads leading to the rear palace.
On this side of moat, besides allowing the construction of the court of justice, no other buildings were permitted to be built. The purpose was to ensure adequate protection of the Imperial palace's safety and privacy.
After spending a whole Out and about the mother and. son were exhausted to the point of collapse. nevertheless, the benefits were plentiful. Taehyung learn the basic layout of the city and where people lived. Tomorrow, when he start his new role, he would be able to go alone.
