Listening to the admiration of the officials, and then reading the scriptures and articles that kept being handed in, Li Ruoshui already had an idea in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the sky was not dark that afternoon, the red list of the county test was posted on the wall at the gate of the county government.

The two officials went straight to the Qian family and sent the good news that Qian Heng had won the case to the old patriarch of the Qian family.

The old patriarch was extremely pleased, he was able to win the position of the head of the case, and if he participated in the township examination after the year, he would definitely be able to win the promotion, as long as he obtained the identity of the lifter, he would be able to become an official.

For Qian Heng's performance, the old patriarch was extremely pleased, and he didn't vacate his study for Qian Heng in vain.

Not only that, the briquette stove that Qian Heng made made a profit of nearly 1,000 yuan in just ten days.

The old patriarch threw out two hundred texts, rewarded the officials who came to report the good news, and gave an order to the back kitchen, how to be rich tonight.

After arranging these, the old patriarch went straight to the study in the back hall with a happy face.

When Qian Heng came back from the exam, he did not relax the rhythm of studying, Qian Heng knew very well in his heart that Li Ruoshui asked himself to go to the back hall today to talk about that, just to see himself, although he did not say it directly at the time, but Qian Heng knew that it was already a sure thing that he would be admitted to the show.

With the identity of Xiucai, he has become a student, and he has the qualifications to continue to participate in the township examination or even the entrance examination.

This level of the county examination for children is just the most basic selection test done by the county in order to screen the literati who can be used, and what really needs to be done is the township examination and the meeting examination, of course, if you are lucky enough, it is also possible to directly meet the emperor to participate in the palace examination.

So Qian Heng didn't dare to slack off, Xiucai's identity, if it was one acre and three points of land in Dongping Mansion, it would be somewhat useful, but after the Jingkang incident a few years later, the identity of Xiucai would be a little insufficient.

Qian Heng was reviewing his homework, and the old patriarch knocked on the door with a smile and came in.

"Brother Heng, congratulations, the county lord has transcribed your name on the red list!"

Qian Heng stood up with a smile in anticipation, "There should be no problem in gaining fame, so the kid will have to work harder to prepare for the next exam!" ”

The old patriarch smiled and nodded with great satisfaction, "Yes, yes, I have confidence, but I am not blindly arrogant, and I can continue to study with arrogance and rashness, it seems that I will definitely be able to win the first place in the township test next year!" ”

The old patriarch's words made Qian Heng's face happy, although Qian Heng didn't care too much about the reputation of the first place, but being able to take the first place in the Tongsheng County Examination was an excellent foundation for future exams, and Qian Heng's face also had some irrepressible smiles on his face, "It seems that the kid's luck is good, then I have to make persistent efforts and continue to study hard!" ”

Qian Heng took the first place in the exam, and the old patriarch saw that Qian Heng knew how to collect brilliance so well, and he continued to study hard, but the old patriarch said with a smile, "Wen Shu is not in a hurry, he has won the first case of the county examination, and he will go to thank the county master tomorrow, you arranged to install a briquette stove for the county master, and now it should have been done, and the old man now has some things to ask Brother Heng for advice, and a sumptuous banquet was also arranged in the evening, so I will stop Wen Shu today!" ”

For Wen Shu, it's just that the more you read, the more you understand, and the more basic scriptures and classics there are. These Qian Heng really cared about it from time to time, especially in the words of the old patriarch, it seemed that he had something else to do with himself, and nodded hurriedly, "What the clan grandfather said is that the kid doesn't need to be in a hurry, please sit down with your old man!" ”

Let the old patriarch to the upper seat, the light in the study was already darker, and because it was already winter evening, Qian Heng lit up the oil lamp a little, sat on the chair under the old patriarch with a smile, and listened to the old man's teachings.

The old patriarch looked at Qian Heng, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and after bowing his head slightly, he said, "You are also the identity of Xiucai, and your article skills are not much better than mine, we will not discuss the scientific examination today, and you will naturally be in charge in the future, I just found one thing, that is, about your briquette stove, something went wrong!" ”

As soon as the old patriarch said this, Qian Heng immediately guessed what the situation was, and immediately laughed, "Grandpa, you mean that someone is already imitating this briquette stove, right?" ”

The old patriarch was stunned, he got the news for the first time, but he didn't expect Qian Heng to be able to guess it.

But after thinking about it, this briquette stove was originally figured out by Qian Heng, looking at it like this, Qian Heng seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago.

"Brother Heng, since you have already guessed, then you think about it, what can be done to prevent other people's imitation?"

For this money-making livelihood, the old patriarch is still very concerned.

Qian Heng smiled, "Old patriarch, in fact, we really don't have to care too much about this briquette stove, but it will only be used for a few months in winter, and this relatively simple object is easy to imitate, and it can't be eradicated!" ”

The old patriarch couldn't help but have a trace of worry on his face, "Then what should I do?" After all, it is a good business that can bring profits to our Qian family! ”

Qian Heng smiled, knowing that the old patriarch had earned the sweetness from the briquette stove, as the head of the family, no one was willing to have a rolling source of wealth to come in, so that the family could run more easily.

Thinking of this, Qian Heng said with a smile, "Grandpa is not in a hurry, in fact, there are many ways to make money, you also know that I am good at veterinarians, we might as well raise more chickens and dolphins, and the money is much better than making briquette stoves." ”

Regarding pig raising or chicken raising, Qian Heng did not have a conclusion in his heart, but Qian Heng knew that no matter what he raised, once it was scaled up, the cost would be greatly reduced, and at the same time, the profit would also increase.

Hearing Qian Heng's suggestion, the old patriarch shook his head for a while, "No, no, it is impossible to raise chickens on a large scale, but this pig raising, although it can also be done on a larger scale, the old man knows your ability to be a veterinarian, but after all, this pork is cheap meat, and it will not be on the table, and it will tarnish your literary name, which is absolutely unacceptable!" ”

How can this pig raise have anything to do with his literary name?

However, Qian Heng also knew that the old patriarch's worries were not unreasonable, after all, he was now working hard to gain fame, and having a crooked reputation as a veterinarian was enough to see, if he was getting a swineherd's hat, it would indeed have a negative impact on his future fame.

Qian Heng thought for a moment and explained with a smile, "Grandpa don't worry, the matter of raising pigs is operated by the people of the family, and I don't come forward directly, and this statement of cheap meat is just a style that the literati boast of, and the more we raise, the more we can bring down the price of pork." Yes, beef and mutton is the meat on the table, but the people of Shouzhang County and even the entire Dongping Mansion have a few people who can eat beef and mutton, and once our low-priced pork is listed, where will the people care about whether the pork is cheap meat, and the most important thing is to have meat to eat! ”

In fact, Qian Heng proposed this pig breeding plan, not just to sell pork!
