Yan Heng chose a hired worker named Xu Deming to be the shopkeeper and manage this group of hired workers on his behalf.

It can be seen that Xu Deming is the oldest among the hired workers, and he is also quite prestigious, Yan Heng believes that he can manage this group of hired workers for himself.

After counting the number of these hired workers, Yan Heng gave Xu Deming twenty taels of silver, which was regarded as a month's salary for fifteen hired workers, as well as the purchase of some necessary paper and ink.

Since the Ming Dynasty, the military and civilians have been divided into different places of origin according to their occupations, and many of them have been accepted as craftsmen.

These hired workers were originally good citizens who belonged to the artisan family, but because of the exploitation of the government, many artisan people would choose to join the large households as slaves, so as to save taxes and government servants.

Just as many yeoman farmers would donate their land to large families as slaves to avoid taxes, these artisans naturally donated their skills to large families as slaves.

The same is true for the group of hired workers in Yan Heng's hands now, so Yan Heng will not worry that they will run away with the silver.

This time, the purchase of printing equipment and the purchase of a group of skilled printers, before and after a total of seventy taels of silver.

For Yan Heng, it is cheap, after all, these equipment are relatively advanced equipment in this era, and the printing of lead block movable type in the West is only in this century.

And got a group of printers who can be hired for a long time, and because Yan Heng found it himself, he didn't find a tooth shop, so he also saved a "brokerage fee".

After reading and signing the list that Xu Deming listed that needed to be purchased immediately, Yan Heng went home first, but he didn't expect that his father was quite puzzled by the fact that he had spent seventy taels of silver at one time to open a bookstore.

"You're going to open a bookstore! Although your father is not a businessman, he also knows that it is not profitable to open a bookstore in this county, and you should be a big county in Shuntian and Yingtian here!

In the past few years, there have been a few more people who have bought books and read books, and they have spent seventy taels of silver at one time, raising fifteen more useless people, and even giving them one or two silver a month! Are you really confused or fake! ”

Yan Zhun pointed at Yan Heng excitedly and said.

"Hey, I said Dad, if you hadn't managed the thing below you, would I have been in such a hurry to open a store and open a business, what I did naturally has a reason, you don't have to interject anymore, do your own job as a teacher, and besides, how about the writing of the time I asked you to help me write?"

Yan Heng was used to talking in front of his parents like in his previous life, but fortunately, Yan Zhun didn't have any temper here, he just patted his knee angrily and then sat down and said:

"It's almost written, put it in my room, you take it yourself for a while, read it well, I've written it from the middle county test to the middle court exam and the first class of the science test in recent years, and I have also made a few big questions and a few small questions by myself, and now I have made a few current texts, a total of ten, but with your head that can't even read the three-character scripture, it is estimated that it will be difficult to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, and I can only ask the ancestors for blessing at that time."

"You're so unconfident in your son?" Yan Heng couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"It's not just that I don't have confidence in you, Xiao Yan Song is also choking enough this time, I just examined his knowledge, although I have made great progress, I can memorize the Analects by heart, and I can read the four books once, but in the end I don't have a background in Shiwen, our family can't compare to the Ouyang family, I heard that Ouyang Hong of his family is already doing Shiwen, and he will also participate in this county test, and he will fight for the first case."

Listening to the old father Yan Zhun praising other people's children here, Yan Heng couldn't help but have black lines in his eyes, this has been an old tradition since ancient times, praising other people's children and belittling their own family.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have called his son a dog.

"The county test doesn't matter first, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, now you have to hurry up and earn two hundred taels of silver, otherwise your son and I will be pitted by you to be a slave in the Ouyang family."

As soon as Yan Heng said this, Yan Zhun, who was chattering, no longer praised the children of the Ouyang family, and couldn't help but hang his head lonely: "The main thing is that it's not good for the father." ”

"No, no, now whether your son will go to someone else's house to be a slave or a maidservant depends on your old father, ten articles are not enough, you take the twenty taels of silver, go to your classmates and friends to buy twenty copies back, one or two copies, and ask them to take all the current texts of the county exam, including the content of the county exam, such as law and counsel."

Yan Heng took out his father Yan Zhun's twenty essays and gave Yan Zhun another sum of silver.

His father seems to be accustomed to the family's financial power being controlled by Yan Heng, and he has no opinion.

"You don't need money, everyone can't wait to take out their articles for others to read, how can you buy them with money."

After Daddy Yan Zhun said, he pushed away the bag of silver handed by Yan Heng.

Yan Heng was a little stunned, and secretly sighed that the scholars in this year have no awareness of the protection of intellectual property rights, but this is good, and he has saved a lot of costs.

Sure enough, as Yan Zhun said, it is difficult to borrow money from these talented people, but it is very easy to ask for a few good times articles in the name of his son to study, and it may also be related to the guilt that everyone has refused to lend money to Yan Zhun.

Even, even the test paper of Ouyang Da, the county head of the county case who later understood the Yuan, was given to Yan Zhun by Ouyang Xue.

However, in this way, the news that Yan Zhun's two sons were going to participate in the county examination also spread throughout Fenyi County.

"This Yan family Xiaolang can memorize the Book of Filial Piety at the age of five, maybe he can fill the number indiscriminately, what does the Yan family Lang rely on, I have seen him before, and he can't even recognize the words, and now he is afraid that he will not be able to memorize the ready-made Shiwen."

"In my opinion, the two sons of his Yan family can't be hit, or Ouyang Hong's kid is a prodigy, this Yan family Xiaolang may also have a filial name, what does the Yan family have in the big man, elm head!"

"What, Brother Yan! Your eldest and youngest have to participate in the county examination, and this move has to come step by step, you are helping the seedlings! ”

……

Yan Zhun was very depressed and put the twenty articles and poems that he was going to arrive, such as the essay and the essay and the poem, in front of Yan Heng: "The Cheng essay and the poem and the poem you want are all here."

Yan Zhun, who was speechless by his classmates and friends, really wanted to tell his son to fight at this time, but when he thought that his son was indeed too stupid and too small, he could only sigh helplessly.

But Yan Heng, who was deaf to the ridicule of the outside world, was laughing at this time, the county exam will generally take five exams, and there are five items of instant essays, trial poems, scriptures, legal endowments, and policy questions, and now he has 20 articles each, and it is more than enough to send a small amount of money before the county exam.

Yan Heng ranked the ten essays written by his father and the twenty essays that his father wanted to come according to the ranking of the original author's county exam in the middle of the year, and his father's articles other than the county exam were placed at the end and nominated as the finale.

And the article of Ouyang Da, who was the head of the county case and is now Xie Yuanlang, was placed in the middle, so as not to be easily flipped, this is the most valuable one.

Before printing, Yan Heng integrated these 30 articles into a title entitled "Preparing for the County Test: Thirty Selected Texts", and at the same time decided to write under the title of the book, "Attached is the Jiangxi Buzheng Si Renwu Ke Township Trial Solution Yuanlang Jiachennian County Trial Case Ouyang Da County Trial Text." ”
