Chen Zhengtai saw Hao Chujun staring at him, as if he had a lot of questions, so he smiled slightly.

"Look at this Erpigou, how many homeless people have been recruited, so many mouths, there is a saying called emergency relief is not to help the poor, and now Erpigou still has money and food to help them, but what about the long time? In this world, talent is the most valuable wealth, don't look at Erpigou to make money by selling salt, but compared to people, what is selling salt? But...... People are different, can ordinary people really create wealth? I don't think so, relying on strength to make money, it is never as good as relying on brains to make money, these homeless people, although they are in hardship now, but if they can write and calculate in the future, this is beneficial to the world, but also beneficial to Erpigou. “

Hao Chujun was shocked: "En's going to let all the people in Erpigou study?" ”

"I'd like to give it a try."

Hao Chujun was speechless in shock, and shook his head at Chen Zhengtai again and again.

"It's impossible...... Most of these people are some ignorant and uninformed ordinary people, and they ...... How can they read...... The so-called gentleman works hard, and the villain works... If you pick 10 people, 100 people, maybe you can. But that's tens of thousands of people, and no one in the world can do it. ”

Looking at Hao Chujun's frightened appearance, Chen Zhengtai found himself talking with chickens and ducks.

Actually, this is understandable.

Chen Zhengtai, who came from later generations, believed that anyone could read, even the most lowly people, they had the possibility of becoming talented.

But...... For Hao Chujun, it is completely different, in his eyes, it is a person who can read, and only those who are born in a prominent surname, have a family lineage and a reading heritage, can have the possibility of becoming a talent.

Even the nine scholars in front of Chen Zhengtai are not lacking in poverty, such as Li Yifu.

But the cold door of this era is different from the so-called cold door of later generations, and later generations compared the poor to the poor family.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the Hanmen were relative to the Gaomen, such as Li Yifu, he was inferior because he was born in the Hanmen, because Hao Chujun was the son of the county duke, and his father used to be a high-ranking official like the state assassin, and as for his grandfather, he was also powerful.

But as for Li Yifu, his father is just a small county magistrate, which is equivalent to the deputy county magistrate, and it is precisely because of this 'humble' identity that Li Yifu feels that he is from a poor family and cannot hold his head up in front of other high-grade families.

Li Yifu often felt ashamed that his father was just a county prince, and felt inferior to his poor poor birth, so that he trembled and walked on thin ice when he did anything, because he knew very well that others could take ten or a hundred wrong steps, and as long as he took one wrong step, he would be doomed.

As for the ordinary people like Deng Jian in this era, in the eyes of these well-established people, they are really ants.

Study...... Joke...... Do they deserve it too?

Naturally, people who hold such a concept have nothing to do with good and evil, this is just an inherent impression formed by people over the years, and no one will feel that there is such an idea related to good and evil.

Chen Zhengtai saw the doubts in the eyes of the nine protégés.

Chen Zhengtai knew that there was no need to argue about this kind of thing, and in the face of powerful inherent concepts, there was actually no reason to talk about, so he said: "For you, this must be an unimagined path." ”

Hao Chujun and others gave Chen Zhengtai a lot of face, and chose to be silent to show their attitude.

"But if you don't give it a try, how do you know if you can succeed?"

Chen Zhengtai dropped this sentence and continued to smile, this was the first time he felt that he had been humiliated, and the nine scholars looked at themselves like fools, and because of this, it was even more important to keep smiling, to create the impression that I was brave or mysterious.

The weather is gradually starting to fall.

The locusts gradually withered, but the entire Guanzhong had been eaten by these countless flying locusts.

Although the government and Erpigou tried their best to provide relief, under the devastation, countless ragged people seemed to have left in the depths of their memories the unbearable traces of hunger in the summer of the three years of Zhenguan.

The imperial court issued a decree confirming the new policy of the imperial examination, which gave hope to the thousands of people who had gathered in Chang'an.

The New Deal's approach has been impeccable, and on the whole, anyone who knows anything about the New Deal feels that there is little chance of fraud.

Immediately afterwards, the examination date was approaching, and it was early in the morning.

Outside the Erpigou University Hall, carriages and horses have been prepared.

Nine scholars greeted the morning sun and walked out of the school, they have been together for two months, and they have become familiar with each other, but now they ...... But like finches that have broken free from the cage, they came to the car with each other, carried Kaolan, and said goodbye to each other.

Hao Chujun had already thought about it, after the entrance examination this time, whether he was in high school or not, he planned to run away after the results were announced, and never give Chen Zhengtai a chance to catch him back.

is Li Yifu, who was born in a poor family, but he is still hesitating whether to return to his hometown after the exam, he actually misses the food here.

The rest of the people have their own thoughts, and for them, the imperial examination is just a chance of luck, after all, they have to take the Jinshi subject, which is the most difficult among all the subjects in the imperial examination, and the future is unpredictable.

Even in this era, many people who could not be born as jinshi could not help but regret that they could not become jinshi even if they became prime ministers in the future.

Chen Zhengtai came in person on horseback at this time, and the nine people glanced at Chen Zhengtai with complicated eyes, saluted each other, and then said goodbye.

When he got in the car, Hao Chujun, who just wanted to leave the big cage of the school, suddenly felt that his nose was sore, and in this place where he recorded the memories of two months of his life, he suddenly left at this time, and deep down, he actually had some reluctance.

At this time, even Chen Zhengtai, who had been cursed and disgusted before, began to miss it together.

Wait for the carriage to move slowly.

Through the curtain of the carriage, Hao Chujun saw the rear, Chen Zhengtai stood on the horse under the morning sun, looking at the direction of the carriage from afar, Hao Chujun's eyes subconsciously turned red.

The horse-drawn carriage carried the nine people to the examination room.

Here, Hao Xianggui, the prince of Iiyama County, was looking for a familiar figure like crazy, and finally, he saw a familiar person getting out of the car, so he rushed forward like crazy: "Chu Jun, my son ......"

For two months, father and son could not see each other, and it seemed as long as two centuries to each other.

The only difference is that Hao Xianggui is thin and described as withered.

And Hao Chujun ...... Gained weight.

Hao Xianggui's eyes were full of tears, ignoring the surprised people around him, he grabbed Hao Chujun and refused to let go, and cried: "I am worried about my father day and night, I am afraid that you have been wronged in Erpigou, and my father does not want to rescue, but the people in the East Palace refuse to let my father in, and my father wants to see His Majesty several times, but His Majesty also ignores my father, my son ......."

The father and son hugged their heads and cried.

The people on the side pointed and whispered: "Aren't these the nine scholars in Erpigou, it's really pitiful, look at their appearance, their faces are ruddy, hey, I recognize him, why is he still fat." ”

"They're pathetic anyway......"

"Yes, yes, poor man."

……

With the arrival of the auspicious day, the gong was struck in the examination room, and countless candidates poured into the examination room.

Hao Chujun and the others were mixed in the crowd, so they could only enter from the side door.

On the other side, there is a middle door.

At the middle gate, the guards were even stricter, and from the extremely exquisite carriages, there were well-dressed nobles.

These people's families are much higher than Hao Chujun.

A son of the Bolingcui clan.

There are also Zhaojun Li's family, Taiyuan Wang's family and so on.

They waited to enter through the middle gate, not as if they had come to take the exam, but as if they had come to inspect the examination room.

Entered the exam room.

Someone stopped Hao Chujun.

Hao Chujun turned around.

But I saw a person looking at him with a smile on his face.

Seeing this person, Hao Chujun didn't dare to slack off, because compared to Chen Zhengtai, this person in front of him was even more difficult to mess with, this person was from Fan Yang, surnamed Lu, called Lu Guangsheng, born like a crown of jade, and because he was born from a high door, he looked forward to being self-proud.

It is reported that this young man, when the emperor was there, wanted to marry the princess to him, but the Lu family refused.

In the eyes of the Lu family, although the Li family is a royal family, Lu Guangsheng, a descendant of the Lu family, is even more expensive.

Hao Chujun occasionally knew Lu Guangsheng, and the difference between them was too big, even if his family had the title of county duke, in the past, Hao Chujun was just Lu Guangsheng's little follower.

"You're going to take the test too?" Lu Guangsheng is always smiling, but behind this kind smile, he always has a proud look, and there are not many people in this world who can be seen by him.

Hao Chujun waved at him: "Yes, Brother Lu is also here to take the test?" ”

"It is reported that the department has come up with new rules, and I will see a thing or two." Lu Guangsheng smiled faintly: "Chu Jun, you have to work hard." ”

He said such an encouragement, which was quite harsh to Hao Chujun's ears.

It means that he, Lu Guangsheng, has the chance to win, but he has to work hard to take the test.

However, Hao Chujun did not have the slightest resentment, he knew very well in his heart that the person in front of him, who was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, was by no means comparable to a person like himself.

"Yes." Hao Chujun continued.

Lu Guangsheng smiled and said: "It is reported that you are still in school, what royal Erpigou, right?" ”

This question made Hao Chujun blush, but he didn't know how to answer.

Lu Guangsheng chuckled, with the unique elegance of a noble person, and the ridicule of the genius, he stopped at the point, and then stepped into the examination shed without squinting.

The exams then began.

Here is separated by one examination shed, this is also part of the new rules of the imperial examination, people in the examination shed, isolated from people, the examiners distributed papers, and at this moment, Hao Chujun took a deep breath, he held his breath, and began to answer the sheet seriously.

Hope...... Will I be able to make it?

Damn, why did I mention the pen, I couldn't help but think of Erpigou University Hall and Chen Zhengtai.

Hao Chujun hurriedly shook his head, wanting to dispel the shadow of Chen Zhengtai in his mind.

Trying to take a deep breath, I suddenly remembered Chen Zhengtai's words: "Work hard, struggle!" ”

So, put pen to paper.

On the white paper, the ink melts.

…………

I recommend a book written by the Tiger Brothers, "Zhenguan Han Son-in-law", which is very good.
