On the side of the street in front of the Cabinet Auxiliary Minister Li Zhen's Mansion, there were many people dressed in scholar's clothes and green shirts and folding fans.

They are the people who were lifted in the examination of Jinke Township, and they are here to meet their master Li Zhen.

However, there are a lot of people, and Li Zhen can't finish the meeting all morning. Therefore, in general, only those who are at the top of the ranking will be received in person.

At this time, all their prayer posts had been handed over, and occasionally the housekeeper of the Li Mansion would come out and ask a few people to come in to meet Li Zhen.

And now there are so many people standing outside, many of them are twenty people away, and they are still standing here at this time, and there is also a chance that Li Zhen has a lesson in his article, and may make an exception to meet him......

Suddenly, a horse-drawn carriage drove from each side of the street on the east and west sides. A bejeweled car on the west side, luxuriously dressed. The one on the east side is not only smaller, but also almost unadorned, ordinary and simple.

However, when the two carriages drove up to them, and their respective owners got out of the car, almost all the people who had been standing at the door surrounded the owner of the ordinary carriage.

This scene made Jia Qing, who had just gotten off the carriage, twitch the corners of his mouth. There's no way, who calls someone this Ke Jieyuan!

Ignoring this stubble, Jia Qing tidied up his appearance, and walked up the steps in front of the Li Mansion in a few steps, wanting to hand over the post.

"Hey, do you understand the rules, Tang Jieyuan is here, how can you cross Tang Jieyuan and deliver it first?"

Suddenly, a scholar's voice sounded behind Jia Qing. Jia Qing didn't care much, and continued to hand the prayer note in his hand to the steward of the Li Mansion who was guarding the door.

"Ning Guofu? Jia Juren waited. ”

The steward of the Li Mansion took the greeting post first with a surprise, then bowed slightly, and then explained half a sentence to the person next to him, and then turned around and went to the mansion.

"What about you, can't you hear?"

The voice from earlier approached, vaguely angry.

Jia Qing frowned, he didn't care about fame, but it didn't mean that he was willing to be trampled on by others.

Turning around, there were five or six people in the back, centered on one of the young men. It wasn't him who spoke, but a young man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks next to him.

"Who are you?"

In fact, when Jia Qing turned around, the faces of many people around him changed slightly. Although the central focus of yesterday's banquet was the governor and the "Tang Jieyuan", Jia Qing was the third in the township test and young, and many people silently recorded his appearance. There are even more well-informed people, who know that Jia Qing's background is profound, and they have sweated for the person who provoked him.

Some people are not easy to mess with!

Behind, seeing that someone was provoking his young master, Li Yan and the others quietly surrounded him, but they were looked at by Jia Qing.

"Hehe, it turned out to be Jia Jingkui.

Zhang Tongnian, you also have too many things. Everyone is the same year, so why bother. Originally, Jia Jingkui arrived first, so he naturally delivered it first, so why don't I wait for a while? ”

The leader seemed to know Jia Qing as well, and said a round way.

The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling face person, people are polite, Jia Qing will not be arrogant, and also replied: "I have seen Tang Jieyuan." ”

The people around Tang Jieyuan are all people who are at the bottom of the rankings, and they all have one thing in common, that is, they are not of high origin.

Moreover, it is difficult for a wealthy family to produce a noble son. The imperial examinations are mostly the dragon gates of ordinary Han people. Therefore, these people have a mentality of hating the noble and contemptuous of the rich.

Jia Qing's previous flamboyant way of traveling had already made these people dissatisfied. Later, seeing that Jia Qing ignored the status of the "boss" and took the lead in the worship post, he immediately found the reason.

That's why there is this person who looks the same as Qi San and "fights unevenly" for Tang Jieyuan.

At this time, Tang Xie Yuan lowered his head first, although he was even more dissatisfied, he didn't want to say anything, he just looked to the side.

If there is nothing to do, Jia Qing will naturally not have much to do. These people are the ones whose hearts are higher than the sky and whose lives are thinner than paper.

is different from Jia Qing, for Jia Qing, lifting people and jinshi is just one more embellishment. And for them, it is the only hope to enter the official career. Besides, next year's spring competition, that is the real battlefield.

Because, the addition of the South Zhili, which is stronger than the North Zhili. These people, the chance of being named on the gold list is too slim! Even if he was lucky enough to get a top three, he had to wait until there was a vacancy in the ministry to have a chance to become a foreign official.

Generally speaking, ordinary third-class jinshi can't let go of the county, and they are generally a county captain and county lieutenant. When I climb to the top of the mountain, I don't know how many years later.

As for those who don't get the opportunity to be released, they can probably only be desolate for a lifetime! There are many poor and sour petty officials in Beijing.

For these people, it is really difficult for Jia Qingduo to face it. It's this Tang Jieyuan, who looks personable and has a bright future.

and Qi said a few polite words by the way, and the housekeeper of the Li Mansion led a man out, and then said:

"I invited Jia Juren into the house."

……

Like most civil mansions, the Li Mansion is not very luxurious, but it is quiet and elegant. The layout is also similar to Fang Shou's mansion, which is a large mansion with two entrances.

Inside Li Zhen's study.

Li Zhen smiled at Jia Qing who was standing in the room respectfully, and said, "You are the Jia family Wenlin Lang who was given by the Holy Lord, a famous young prodigy of the national dynasty?" ”

"The students didn't dare to call themselves prodigies, but they only occasionally received the grace of the saint and gave them official status."

Li Zhen nodded and asked again, "How old are you this year?" ”

"It's going to be twelve."

Li Zhen sighed: "It's such a young age! I am very impressed by your strategy, and I still remember it, but I don't know how you came up with those bold ideas at such a young age?

Can you tell me about it? ”

Jia Qingdao: "The strategies and theories made by the students are just delusions out of thin air, just talk on paper, but they are not any opinions.

If the teacher is interested, the student is willing to share the student's ideas for the teacher. ”

The teacher is one of the stronger relationships between teachers and students. Therefore, why is it that the main examination of each imperial examination and the provincial township examination is sent by the emperor Qin to the ministers of Xinzhong, just to brush up the fame of his subordinates!

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for Jia Qing to call Li Zhen a teacher. And Li Zhen, on the premise of valuing it, will generally give advice.

"Teachers may know that students are children of large families. I have a large family with complex staff, and I spend a lot of money every year.

And my family's income is mainly two. One is from the grange, including the sacrificial fields and ordinary farms in the clan. However, despite the huge amount of fertile land, the annual output is far from enough for the family's expenses.

Second, street shops. Although the elders of the mansion disdain business, it is undeniable that the economic benefits generated far exceed those of the farms.

However, because the people who do business for the government are often not taken seriously, there are many people who cheat and cheat, and even enrich their own pockets. As a result, the industry is declining, even to the point where it is beyond its means.

The students have been exposed to it since childhood, and they know that my family has long been overdrawing the blessings of our ancestors. Although the face is still bright, the inside has long been eaten by Yin.

From the small to the big. If this is the case for one family, how can a country not be like this?

The wealth of the country is in the hands of the merchants, but they have no corresponding status, and they are in a state of precariousness all day long, and they are bound to look everywhere for security, so that a large amount of money and goods fall into the hands of private individuals.

And the money that should have been put into the treasury goes into the hands of the government and the powerful, but instead of good government, it is a source of evil......

Therefore, the students boldly put forward the concept of 'lenient agriculture and heavy business'. Let the peasants pay less taxes and the merchants pay more taxes to gain status. It is believed that this method can not only increase the revenue of the national treasury, but also create national wealth.

In time, it will be able to make the people of the entire Great Chu live and work in peace and contentment, and the people will be rich and rich! ”
