"What's the busy?" Li Xun asked.

"I want my father to be the first to solve the test and go up as the first person in Pizhou." Zhang Xiaobao said seriously.

"What department?" Li Xun swallowed his saliva when he heard that he wanted to be the first person, and asked again.

"Jinshike, that is, the original Xiucai department." Zhang Xiaobao replied again.

Li Xun didn't swallow saliva at this time, but wiped his sweat, he promised to get a township tribute for these children when the time came, but it was just the kind that was at the back, and there would not be too many people who could hold on, but Zhang Xiaobao, or the person he was pointing behind him, would be the first to come up, or enter the Shike, it was too scary.

"That little treasure, it's time for you to go back and tell the people at home that the first person in this state is not easy to do, you have to have real talent and learning, you have to be famous, and you have to be supported by someone, what I said doesn't count, let's talk about the restaurant."

Li Xun is really embarrassed, he doesn't have that much ability to affect the position of the first township in the state.

Zhang Xiaobao wanted to discuss this matter first, and said: "Li Gongzi, you don't have to be embarrassed, there is fame, starting tomorrow, all the places with restaurants in Sanshui County will sing Yongcheng poems, within half a month, all restaurants in the state will sing Yongcheng poems, during the New Year, Guannei Road, Henan Road, Shannan East Road, Hedong Road and other provinces, where there are wells, Yongcheng poems will be sung." ”

Li Xun was also stunned now, he understood what the Zhang family meant, that is, to use money to buy people to spread it in various places, as long as Zhang Xiaobao's father wrote something not too bad, then there is absolutely no problem, but how much does it cost? It's no wonder that I have to be a false official.

Thinking of this, Li Xun nodded, "If that's the case, it will be easier to do, plus this method of growing vegetables, your father's reputation will be great, you have to let your father write poems, write more, write well, your family said that you didn't say how much money you are willing to spend this time to send a tribute to others?" ”

is to ask Zhang Xiaobao how much silver can be given to the people above the family at home, so that he can carry it.

Zhang Xiaobao was silent at this time, he had to calculate how much income he had, how to distribute it, his family was poor again all of a sudden, just those rumored expenses would not be less, and he also had to give gifts, how much money could he have, Shui Yunjian didn't make much money here, at least not now.

Xiao Luoshui can, it's no problem to get a hundred thousand taels of silver a year, compared to those big families with a foundation who often have a foundation of one million taels of silver, compared to small households, that's not bad.

But this money is not available all at once, he needs a cycle, he is poor, just survive his father's exam.

"Five thousand taels of silver a month, you can borrow some first, it is estimated to be thirty thousand taels, take it out at one time, what does Li Gongzi think?" Zhang Xiaobao did the math and sighed that he gave a number when he had no money.

Li Xun didn't understand what Zhang Xiaobao was thinking there, didn't his family tell him about it? When Zhang Xiaobao said this, Li Xun smiled.

"It's good to have this silver, I'll help you with some money, it's actually a lot, how much is the tax in the middle of the court for a year? With this money, people in Beijing can also send posts, wait for good news, it seems that your family has made a lot of money, and I will count on you in the future. ”

Of course, Zhang Xiaobao knows that the tax revenue of the imperial court is not so much, it is impossible to pay tens of millions at every turn, mainly because the tax is small, unlike over there, you have to pay 20/30 of a hundred taxes to do a business, and some are even higher.

But it can't be said that there is no money here, the big families in the capital, just give a gift may be 1,800 yuan, at this time the river there is not frozen, and when the weather is cold, it seems that the income will be less, and you can only wait for the ice to be sold next year.

"Thank you so much Li Gongzi, when the restaurant over there comes out of Shuiyunjian, Li Gongzi will also have a little money." Zhang Xiaobao said to Li Xun, a fragrance entered his nose, and he could eat it in a while.

Li Xun understands that this is a benefit given to him by the Zhang family, it seems that this Zhang family is really good, the method of growing vegetables, he can get some benefits, this time there is again, the emperor's nephew is also poor, the money given by the palace on a monthly basis is really not enough to do anything, it turned out that he wanted to buy Shui Yunjian, but now he doesn't need it.

Zhang Xiaobao said that this matter was also a temporary idea, and immediately arranged for a person to go back with him, and let his father write some poems, his father's talent is still good, he knows a lot of things, not improvisational poems, the quality is guaranteed, if he is not afraid that his father will be angry, he can let Wang Juan help think of some poems to pretend.

After the stewed dishes were grunted for a while, and after the inside was thickened, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took down the pot, gave Li Xun some shares, and began to eat fragrant rice there.

Li Xun praised while eating, "Okay, what are you putting in?" Don't forget to bring me some of that spice when I go back, and I'll ask the cook at home to add it when cooking. ”

With common interests, Zhang Xiaobao and Li Xun have a closer relationship, chewing the beef with a little tendon in the back, and nodded, "Okay, I'll let someone send it to you when I go back, and when our restaurant is built, the mountain and the restaurant can be connected, you can bring people who usually get along well to play, remember to give money, and you can't eat your family's business yellow." ”

"Well, give, you must give money, and then there will be my share, my carriage should be changed, make a few more clothes, look at this dress, I wore it last year, it's a little small."

Li Xun was talking happily there, and he was still crying poor.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan glanced at the very expensive clothes on Li Xun's body, nodded, and didn't say anything, I didn't wear this last year, I didn't wear this every day, I changed ten sets of eight sets a day, as long as the body didn't grow so fast, what about the year before last?

The three of them sat together and chatted while eating, which made Han Yongyao and Yuan Xingyi, who were eating bacon behind, feel uncomfortable, especially the aroma of the beef stewed radish, coupled with the fragrance of cucumbers, which made the two of them feel that the meat in their mouths was really difficult to swallow.

"Brother Xingyi, didn't you just say that Li Gongzi wouldn't eat other people's things? This is the time when I have added two dishes. Han Yongyao looked at the smoked leg of lamb in his hand and complained.

"If you give it to him, of course he won't eat it, but the dish is freshly made, if it is given to me, I can't help it, two little babies, I didn't expect to be able to make such a delicious meal, cucumber with garlic foam, you can eat a bite."

Yuan Xingyi also felt that the food in his mouth was tasteless, watching others eat hot meals in large gulps, he clicked his mouth twice, and finally took another bite of his own things, who let himself not bring raw things, if he didn't want to be beaten, he could only insist.

The adults who came with him also smelled the dishes made by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and one of them should be a mother, and said to the mother of the same child next to him: "I knew that I would also bring something raw to Xin'er." ”

"It's useless to bring it, I can't do it, the little babies of the Zhang family and the Wang family are amazing, the last time I was on the grassland, I saw them cooking and eating, I don't know how they handed it over at home." The woman who heard the voice sighed.

The one who spoke before said: "It should be that the family is not rich, and the child has to help do things from an early age." ”

"Not rich? This sister, do you know where they are? Tuqiao Village, Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi's baby bumps, Xiaoluoshui's wharf is people's, there are hundreds of shops alone, and there are restaurants and warehouses, and only rent but not sell, and the rent money collected a year is hundreds of thousands. ”

The woman who knew the situation gave this unclear introduction, and she was even more envious when she said that the waste land that she bought for a thousand taels of silver turned into a chicken that laid golden eggs.

When the woman heard that the two children belonged to the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang's family, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, and after a long time closed them, and said, "So the rich Zhuangzi even let the children learn to cook?" Is it possible to let the child go to the restaurant to be a cook in the future? ”

said sourly, and then looked at his eleven-year-old child gnawing on a meatloaf, eating dregs everywhere, and then looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's steady appearance, and shook his head helplessly, today the child is the last time to eat meatloaf, and tomorrow will start to gnaw on something else, and the meatloaf can't be left for too long.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan finished eating for a while, looked at the bowl stained with oil, looked at the water bag they brought, poured some distressedly, shook it a few times, raised their heads and drank the water stained with oil stars, and then took out two pieces of paper to wipe it.

"The river in front of you seems to have to be reached the day after tomorrow, so hold on for two days." Zhang Xiaobao put away his things and lay down on top of the withered grass.

"Are you really going to get there?" Wang Juan asked while lying next to Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao turned his head slightly to look at where Han Yongyao and Yuan Xingyi were, and put his arm under his head, "It depends on when the two of them can quit, they hold on for a short time, we will go back early, if we can hold on to the end, then I admire them." ”

"It's absolutely impossible, it can't scare them to death, make them in a trance, and have no strength." Wang Juan took out the blanket and pushed Zhang Xiaobao to turn over, one spread underneath, and the other covered the two people.

After lying down for a while, Zhang Xiaobao took out the knife and walked towards Han Yongyao.

"You, what do you want to do? I'm telling you, if you dare to use the knife, you're done. Han Yongyao looked at Zhang Xiaobao, who came over with a knife, and asked vigilantly.

Yuan Xingyi was also staring at Zhang Xiaobao beside him, he didn't believe that Zhang Xiaobao was doing it at this time.

Zhang Xiaobao came to the front of the two people, squatted down, smiled at the two people, and said, "Don't be afraid, don't have nightmares at night, I'll cut some grass and use it as a pillow, you guys are busy." ”

As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he really cut it next to the two of them, making Han Yongyao and Yuan Xingyi not know what to do.

When Zhang Xiaobao was almost cut, Yuan Xingyi remembered and asked, "Don't you have any grass over there?" Why cut us here? ”

"Yes, but I don't want to see you die, so I'll help you, something will happen where you are lying." Zhang Xiaobao's voice was pouting, and he said with a little trill.
