Act 88 Guan Kunyu's good self-cultivation
Guan Kunyu was a little depressed, although he had not experienced what the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was like, but he had participated in the modern college entrance examination. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After the college entrance examination scores came out, the sigh that could be heard every time was - "I can only get two books in our province for this grade, and if I put it on the XX side, I would have picked it at will!" It's not impossible to choose an unpopular major, 211! ”
As a large province in education, Guan Kunyu has already experienced this kind of pain with high scores and low grades in his previous life, but he didn't expect that he would have to do it again now that he has to live again, it is really a hardship.
After thinking about it, Guan Kunyu said again: "Master Xu, I heard that the three pre-examination tests are all determined by the examiner's likes and dislikes, so ......"
"You want to bribe the examiner!?" Xu Guangqi raised his eyebrows.
Guan Kunyu really didn't have that thought, and when he was about to defend himself, he heard Xu Guangqi say again: "Although it is not impossible...... But ......"
"Huh!?"
Guan Kunyu was really surprised at this time, he didn't expect that the famous Xu Guangqi was not a pedantic person, and he even dared to discuss with him about bribery!
In fact, there is no pedantic person who can become a high-ranking official, no matter how upright he is, it is only relative, how many absolute cold-faced and selfless people can there be except for one Hai Rui? The vast majority of people are the kind of people who have both small good and small evil.
Xu Guangqi is the same, he has no objection to making some personal contacts on the basis of not violating the general principles, the whole atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is like this, no matter how pretentious he is, he can't change it, and if he really wants to climb up, he has to make some compromises.
Guan Kunyu said: "Although Kun Yu has not thought about this method, but Master Xu still said it, no matter what, it is better to have some friendship with the examiner than nothing." ”
Xu Guangqi nodded: "Yes, it's better to have a friendship than nothing, the two test papers are at the same level, one person and the examiner don't know each other, and the other person has an old relationship with the examiner, so who doesn't need to ask?" If there are really people who don't know people in order to avoid avoiding it, it is also strange that such an unfamiliar person can be the examiner, and it is rare to meet it in ten years.
However, Kun Yu, if you want to buy a fame purely with silver, don't even think about it! It's better to break this idea as soon as possible and study with peace of mind. ”
"Back to Master Xu, Kun Yu has never had such thoughts."
Guan Kunyu smiled and nodded, didn't I expect that the exam in the Ming Dynasty was still very fair, you can't directly spend money to buy places, as for the higher requirements? I couldn't reach it in my past life, let alone now?
"Although there are always some places to take care of the famous children of the county every time they take care of the county's famous children, even if these people don't learn and have no skills, they can still buy them with silver, but these places are the examiners have to give up in order to calm the place in order to govern the country, and it is impossible for your Guan family to get these places."
Guan Kunyu listened to it with black lines, and just nodded a thumbs up, and immediately slapped his face, which is not good!
"But Kun Yu, you don't have to worry, our land south of the Yangtze River is at the peak of Wenfeng, no better than others. In addition to these uncontrollable places, it has always been fair for others to take or not. ”
Guan Kunyu also understands this truth, although the south is not as good as the feet of the Son of Heaven in the north, but it is also a high-ranking official and dignitary everywhere, who dares to say that he has no background when someone is pulled out of the examination room!? You promised this person, so did someone else agree? If you don't agree, you'll offend people, and if you agree, there are many backgrounds behind, can you still take them all!?
Therefore, maintaining basic equity is the best solution.
But...... In this way, Guan Kunyu does not know whether he can cross this single-plank bridge with his own strength.
"Alas...... Why do I want the people above me to be corrupt officials at this moment? Burn a bunch of glass to send it over, I don't believe that I can't exchange it for a show, hey......
Forget it, this year's time has passed, or wait for next year to take the exam for a year to see the situation, if it's really difficult to take the exam and then think of other ways, maybe you will be able to pass the exam, on the exam, am I still afraid that they won't succeed!? ”
Coming back from Xu Guangqi, Guan Kunyu was about to enter the house, but saw a carriage parked at the door, which was extremely luxurious. At first, Guan Kunyu didn't care, but thought it was a guest at home. At this time, it is not as good as in the past, since the Guan family's sugar business was started, there will be high-end businessmen and guests from time to time, which is really not surprising.
But this time it was different, before Guan Kunyu walked in, he saw the gate of the courtyard open, and several people with blue faces came out, and when they saw Guan Kunyu in front of the car, they drank violently.
"Get out of here!"
Guan Kunyu smiled and got out of the way.
Those who haven't negotiated a business are like this, and they are not allowed to have a temper if they don't let their families make money, which is a bit more demanding, and they understand each other. In business, Guan Kunyu can't care about what people do, but he has always asked himself to at least keep smiling and serving.
Service Conscious! Well, Guan Kunyu is really proud of his good cultivation!
Before the first group of people got into the car, the old man Guan in the back walked out angrily, pointed at the nose of the group and scolded: "One stone of rice is only given one dollar and seven cents of silver, are you deliberately looking for scolding!?" Get out of here! Get out of here! ”
Guan Kunyu was stunned when he heard this, and then jumped to his feet with Old Man Guan and scolded: "One stone of rice is only given one penny and seven cents of silver!?" You guys are embarrassed to come over to talk about business, and you still think that our Guan family is easy to bully!? What's the matter with coming here to beg for a fight!? Okay, okay, I'm going to call me daddy! ”
Well, Guan Kunyu at this moment has no more self-cultivation...... Service with a smile, huh? Scold first!
In fact, I can't complain that two foxes, one big and one small, are jumping there, but the bid of these people is too low!
At this time, when I came to talk about the grain business, I naturally did not talk about buying cash grain, but about new grain that would be harvested in two or three months. Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, and Zhenjiang in the south of the Yangtze River are rice-producing areas, with a lot of grain and many grain merchants.
Therefore, the pre-sale model has actually been very common in the Ming Dynasty.
As a major rice-producing area, the price of rice in the Songjiang area is not too expensive, and last year, Guan Kunyu remembers that the purchase price of grain merchants was 2 coins and 8 cents of silver and 1 stone. This year's rice growth is better than last year's, and it looks like a good year, but the problem is that no matter how good the harvest is, you can't cut a penny of silver at once, right!?
It's not just a matter of selling a few stones of grain, the Guan family has a lot of land, although most of the land is newly cultivated and not very familiar, but there must be nearly 10,000 stones, and a stone to cut a penny of silver, it will add up to death!
Is it easy for the family to work hard to earn some silver, and people will cut off a large section when they open their mouths, how can this be done by scolding!?
