Chapter 183: Only Ask Your Heart

Under the test papers, there are many questions, poems and songs, nine chapters of arithmetic, and the pros and cons of current politics are all involved, and some people are sweating profusely at the moment. Parents watching from a distance are called anxious! But I didn't dare to make a noise, so I was so anxious that I paced in place.

Two hours passed in a hurry, and except for a few people who had been working hard to write at the beginning to hand in the papers, the rest of them were biting the pen and looking at the last question.

Today, there are rebels who have rebelled and captured ten people and one scholar. The thief said to the scholar: "If you stab one, I will release the nine, no, all of them will be stabbed!" ”

Asked: If you are a scholar, what should you be?

Of course, Cai Cong came up with this kind of proposition, and he was almost beaten by Zhao Zhujie because of this, saying that human nature should not be tested, and human nature cannot withstand the temptation the most.

The dilemma of benevolence and righteousness, the dilemma of benevolence and righteousness, the only way to give up one's life is to fulfill it! "Everyone is a different scholar, some people must adhere to the morality and ethics in their hearts, some people want to exchange less for more, choose one person to die, save the remaining nine, everyone has a pole scale in their hearts, but they don't know if their pole scale can meet the examiner's ideas, so they dare not write for a long time.

There are also people who choose to abandon the question, thinking about it and thinking about it, there is no perfect answer, anyway, they have already done so many questions, and it is not bad, so they will discard it!

"It's time! Everyone stops writing and turning in papers! Cai Cong said loudly, everyone stopped writing, and immediately a servant went down to receive the test paper in front of Cai Cong.

"Is there anyone who will not answer the last question? Raise your hand and take a look with me. Cai Cong pressed the test paper with one hand and asked calmly.

More than 20 people hesitantly raised their hands, Cai Cong looked at the candidates more calmly, and said without any emotion: "Is there only these 20 people?" If you find that there are people who have abandoned the question and have not raised their hand, even if they are talented, the college will not admit them for life. ”

As soon as Cai Cong's words were finished, someone immediately raised his hand, and there were forty-five people in the front and back.

"Because of your evasion, those ten people were killed by the rebels, so your grades are not qualified, and the academy will not admit forty-five of you this year."

Cai Cong's words fell, and he saw that some people were depressed and some were happy, Cai Cong glanced at all the candidates, and then said with a smile: "It seems that someone has guessed, and the rest of them will be admitted as long as they answer the last question." Seeking scholars is not only seeking knowledge, but also seeking the heart, this question is not solved, thousands of people answer, only ask the heart. How can those who dare not face their true heart have the courage to face all kinds of difficulties for the rest of their lives? ”

Regardless of whether they were admitted or not, all the candidates got up and tidied up their clothes and respectfully saluted Cai Cong, this statement was like an enlightenment, just like Huang Zhongda Lu Zhenren, and even Li Shimin showed a thoughtful look.

Those who fail the exam simply turn around and walk towards their fathers, showing a look of guilt, often at this time when the father is said to be like this, study hard and take the exam again next year.

When he was admitted, he reported the good news to his father with a happy face, and when Lao Tzu told him to take care of himself in a loud voice, he took out the money and handed it to his son, and spent what should be spent, don't treat yourself badly.

At this time, the miscellaneous servants of the academy would come over and tell them with a smile, don't bring the money, the academy is in charge of food and housing, and there is no need for money here. Every month, the college has a fixed amount of money, and if you feel that it is not enough, you can win it from other students.

In the end, whether it was a nobleman or a wealthy family, he only brought a few sets of clothes into the academy.

Li Ke stood in front of the dormitory and had already accepted his fate, and Li You, who was even younger, cried earth-shatteringly. Although they were afraid of their status as princes, they arranged a separate small building for a few of them in the master's building, but there was no one under them, Cai Cong just said that such a building requires a few of them to clean up, clean up every day, clean up in seven days, clean up if they can't clean up, and they won't be given food next month, so they can't live this day.

Yu Chi Baoqi looked at his classmate who was a lot shorter than him with a smile, and his scholar looked at it with concern outside the classroom, his young master had not faced so many people alone in more than ten years.

On the second day of school, Cai Cong launched a vigorous land acquisition operation, and this time things were extremely smooth, and Cai Cong was amazed by the smoothness.

Wei Zheng burned all the account books in court, and in addition to getting the gratitude of a few insiders, the rest of the officials involved in the case actually gratefully gave Cai Cong another generous gift. Cow man! Wei Heimian can come forward to burn the account book for you, what a gift it is! It's even better than Your Majesty.

The early years of Zhenguan were not the Qing Dynasty, and there was no enclosure. The government came forward to witness that the expropriation of the people's land can give more money, but if it is lower than the market price, it is absolutely impossible, and less than a penny, as long as the people's money and silver are shortened, the county will dare to roll up his sleeves and carry the coffin to the door of Cai Cong's house.

It's a pity that Cai Gang got Cai Cong's order, and the compensation was one percent higher than the market price, and the county was both happy and unhappy.

Happy that the people took money and bought a new house without making trouble, the unhappiness is that the Cai family is also a wealthy family, why is it so cowardly? The opportunity to make a name for himself is gone.

Finally, at the end of October, under the distressed onlookers of countless people, Baima Temple and the houses of 100 nearby families were smashed, and the dust was thicker than the fog.

In Chang'an City, every inch of land is really expensive, and how many officials from other places who have come to Beijing are still renting houses to live, but under Cai Cong's orders, so many valuable properties have been turned into ruins, which is really embarrassing.

Cai Gang, a world-famous rich man, went to check the progress when he had time, but only occasionally. He has so many things to do every day, and he has to be in charge of the Cai family's most secret research institution, so there is such a small thing as building a house with air traffic control?

And Cai Cong is now a prince, so he naturally doesn't need to ask about such a trivial matter as building a house.

However, for such a thing as snacks and dishes, Cai Cong must come. Lao Jiu is now the head of the imperial dining room, known as the second chef in the world, and the dishes are constantly innovating, but they are all improved and integrated on the basis of Cai Cong's teaching, and he has not studied the cooking method of snacks, so for half a month, he has been waiting for Cai Cong every day before and after the saddle, and he will learn more dishes if not for anything else.

It is not easy to find a person who is blessed and long-lived in this world, but if you want to find unfortunate and lonely people, you can grab a lot of them. How many people can fit in a shopping street? Cai Cong chose some people with great difficulty, teaching different snacks every day, there are too many snacks in later generations, spring rolls, spring cakes, zongzi, glutinous rice balls, lotus paste buns, bean paste buns, tea eggs, silk sweet potatoes, soup buns, xiaolongbao, barbecued pork buns...... Cai Cong will also teach a plausible thing, whatever! We're not foodies, so it's good to be able to make one.

As for the people of later generations, they will only regard the methods I teach as the most authentic methods, and who told you not to go forward? Cai Cong thought in his heart, a few big fat pigs were sent from the front yard, and Lao Jiu was instructing his subordinates to kill the pigs.

Listening to the terrible pig cry, Cai Cong kept thinking about sins and sins in his heart. Since he opened Taibai Mansion and created a new era of food, this pig has changed from no one to a hot bestseller today. The amount of pork consumed in Chang'an every day cannot be calculated.

After the pig was dismembered, Cai Cong commanded the old wine to cook local snacks such as fat sausages, sauce skeletons, braised meat, etc., it was impossible for him to do it himself, and he had never cooked after the crossing, and he doubted whether the things he made could be eaten.

After teaching more than a dozen dishes, he saw that it was already afternoon, so he waved his hand and left the courtyard under the congratulations of others. Sitting in the carriage and watching the crops in the field also begin to turn green and yellow, Cai Cong smiled proudly, which will make countless people grateful to Cai Cong, if there is no seedling throwing method, these crops are probably still green at this moment!
