The poor can't afford to read, but there are also those who are in the middle of the road, tighten their belts, and eat chaff to let their children and grandchildren study and revive the family business.

Therefore, there are not many poor literati.

However, it is still very rare to be so poor that you don't even have dry food for the exam, at least, the little eyes have never heard of it.

You know, this is Bianjing! Since you have children, even if you are not from Bianjing, you have lived in Bianjing for many years, and you are still so poor? If you set up a letter writing stall in Bianjing, you can still afford Hu Cakes, right?

However, Xiaoyan still glanced at the guards beside him, asked people to investigate, and then went to the teahouse with Banniang to listen to the book.

Banniang smiled, "It seems that we have to sponsor readers." ”

Xiaoyan thinks that Banniang thinks too simply, not everyone is reading material, you must know that many big families have invested a lot in genealogy, and it is rare to be able to produce 10 people, besides, "It's not reading material, so hurry up and think of other ways to make a living!"

The imperial court doesn't have that much money to spare!

"Reading is reasonable, although not everyone can show off talents, but as soon as the eyes are opened, the head will live, if the craftsmen in the weapons workshop have read for a few days, maybe, they have already come up with a good method. Banniang also knows that it is impossible for children to receive free education at the moment, but the wind that should be blown for the little eyes has to be blown, and the pillow wind must be blown in vain!

"Yes," the little eyes smiled at Banniang, "but how can the imperial court have so much silver." "The idea is good, but it's not practical, it's very bad.

The two chatted, and the storyteller also began, yes, say Wu Zetian!

The little eyes felt that this was a distraction, obviously they were blocking themselves, and pulled the hilarious Banniang up with a black face, "Go shopping!"

The two of them went to the cloth shop, bought a few newly arrived cloths, visited the gold shop, bought a few of the latest styles, and also visited the grocery store, bought a package of messy things, and the little eyes also bought good rice paper in a bookstore, and used it as a homework book for Xiao Lei, and the little eyes were very difficult all the way, let Banniang choose at will, pick at will, don't worry about money, although there is not much cash in his small treasury, but the money for shopping is still enough, "We have money!" kept chattering in Banniang's ear, and heard Banniang straight, "You are not afraid of robbing money on the street?" ”

"Lang Lang Qiankun, at the feet of the Son of Heaven," the little eyes looked proud, "Do you dare to come out?"

After the proud little eyes finished purchasing, they took Banniang to dinner, Xiao Lei had already said that she would not go home for dinner, and Xiao Yan asked her to go to the restaurant and was also refused, because Xiao Lei said, "I want to go to the night market, and I will live at Xiao Bai's house tonight!"

Xiaoyan is not afraid of trouble, but still strongly asks Xiaolei to go home to live, isn't it just to open a palace door, it's okay, there is a daddy, no matter how late it is, the girl will come back, and she has to open the door!

As a result, Xiao Lei didn't appreciate it, "I want to sleep with the rabbit!" and then waved goodbye, stunned his little eyes, and decided, send someone to Pan's house to pick up people at night!

Shopping can really make people feel comfortable, the little eyes are not so angry at this time, and happily ask Banniang what she wants to eat, and the dinner between the two is actually quite good!

Naturally, in the end, I chose the Wangjia Restaurant, because I can sit in a private room, and other famous restaurants, not to mention the private room, there may not be a place in the hall, and the little eyes have no reservation.

As soon as I sat down in the private room, I hadn't ordered yet, and the guard who went to inquire turned around and told Xiaoyan that the father of the two brothers and sisters was called Zhu Yan, 45 years old, and it had been 15 years since he took the exam in Bianjing with his family.

Zhu Yan sets up a stall on the street every day to sell calligraphy and paintings, and he is also doing so today.

Zhu Yan's wife is also from a scholarly family, and she is also copying books to make money to support her family.

It's just that Zhu Yan's mother is not in good health and often gets sick, so the family will inevitably starve and freeze.

The guards were also clever, and they also bought a painting by Zhu Yan.

At a glance with small eyes, the painting is good!

After thinking about it for a while, let people go and tell Lu Mengzheng that the Tribute Academy will provide dry food for the candidates tomorrow and receive them voluntarily.

"Banniang, you say, what is the background of the Jinshi who I have given those who have repeatedly failed to rank?" While waiting for the food, the little eyes asked Banniang very seriously, "There are a lot of people who are lost, and the literary style is actually good, but it is bad luck." ”

Banniang was stunned, "This is not fair, is it?"

"Huang Chao has tried and failed, and he simply fell into the grass. The little eyes looked serious, "Tang actually died in the Yellow Nest." ”

"It seems to be a palliative treatment rather than a cure. Banniang said, "Why didn't Tang Taizong rebel when he fell to Xiucai?"

The little eyes hehehe, "Prevention is better than prevention." "I didn't say Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Banniang is she in love with Tang Taizong again?

"Can the imperial court raise so many people?" Banniang was skeptical about this, but she didn't pay attention to the little eyes, and saw that Banniang didn't continue to say Tang Taizong, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're right, if all the craftsmen have read books, their vision will definitely be different," Xiao Yan said busily, "If all the officials in the yamen have read the books of the sages, wouldn't it be better?" Now there is no shortage of county officials, but there is still a shortage of lords and the like, not to mention other small officials, there are not many who are literate. ”

I don't know much about this Banniang, "You ask people to draw up a detailed charter, don't be like a forbidden army, it won't take long to be bloated." ”

How many years has it been since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and the forbidden army has now made the finances feel overburdened, and the problem of the forbidden army has not been solved, and there are a lot of officials raised here by the little eyes, even if the gold and silver mountains are not enough to spend!

The little eyes nodded, this is natural, "I pondered, first solve the problem of students taking the exam in Bianjing, and the rest, discuss slowly, those who come to Bianjing for the exam, the yamen will provide a month of free room and board, what do you think? The little eyes lit up as he spoke, and he felt that he was so smart!

Banniang smiled, "The students will definitely say that the official family is wise!"

Not to mention, the small eyes with the temperament of the literati will naturally tilt towards the literati, and correspondingly, the literati will naturally remember the feelings of the little eyes, which is a good thing, but what about the military generals? The small eyes do not deliberately suppress, but it seems that they are unthinkable on weekdays.

Banniang thinks that this is probably fate, people have fate, and the country also has national fortune, probably the Great Song Dynasty is the fate of valuing literature and ignoring martial arts!

The little eyes listened to Banniang's words, and was pursing their lips and laughing, when they heard Banniang laugh evilly, "However, Hubu Shangshu must be in pain." ”

Little Eyes is so happy, "It's time for him to have a pain, my purse is going to be tightened." "It's as if whether the household has money or not has nothing to do with him.

At this time, waiting to see the little eyes of Tobe Shangshu frowning and tangled, he didn't know that he was about to go bankrupt...
