The craze for cakes and sunsets swept from the common people in the outer city to the dignitaries and dignitaries in the inner city.

Nowadays, as long as you walk down the street, you can see people everywhere talking about who won the prize yesterday.

Or did you cut it today?

No?

That's just right, hurry up and help me cut it!

Listening to the green mandarin's report, Xiao Linglong smiled, asked him to step back, and then looked at Zhao Kang, who was sitting opposite: "So many bonuses were given away like this?" How much silver is that? ”

Zhao Kang laughed: "You don't know something, show you a good thing." ”

Saying that, Zhao Kang took out two thumb-sized magnets from his sleeves and said, "This is called a magnet, which is divided into yin and yang poles. Like-sex repels each other, opposites attract. When it encounters iron, it will also suck it in. ”

"There's this thing, whoever I want to win the lottery will win, but that household secretary Zhang Mingyuan is really an accident."

Zhao Kang was a little indignant: "He actually let this old guy prostitute me for a few hundred taels of silver!" ”

Xiao Linglong played with the magnet she took from Zhao Kang, and after figuring out the characteristics of this thing, she couldn't cry or laugh.

Remember https://m in a second.

"You're not a Mongolian?"

"That's right, then the money I gave out when I opened the business was all real money!"

Her Majesty the Empress rolled her eyes, and while playing with the magnet in her hand like a curious baby, she spoke: "The craftsmen who have mined the veins have been gathered. ”

"In addition to that, there is also the blacksmith you said about forging and smelting iron, when do you think you can cooperate with Jingguo?"

Zhao Kang thought for a while and said, "Should this matter be handed over to Li Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to be responsible?" ”

Xiao Linglong glanced at him: "Why him?" ”

Zhao Kang said helplessly: "The people under my command are all uninformed countrymen, and most of them will mess up this kind of thing." ”

Zhao Kang still has this spectrum, like Brother Hang or Zhang Long, although those people in Yuanjiang County are easy to use, they are also loyal.

But they can only follow the order to do things step by step, such a big thing as the two countries cooperating in the mining of iron ore.

They can't do it.

"Besides, Li Yuan, I have a pretty good impression, I heard that he is from a poor family?"

Xiao Linglong snorted and gave Zhao Kang a suggestion: "Sometimes you don't patronize to compete with the ministers of the DPRK and China for a while. ”

"They think you're a tricky person now, but they don't fear you much after all, as you said. There are too few people available to you, especially in this imperial capital. Try cultivating your cronies. ”

Zhao Kang was stunned, he really hadn't thought much about this problem, and muttered, "It's not an easy thing." ”

"It's not like you want to do it overnight and take your time. When you are so full of wings that they dare not underestimate you, and even need to look up to you. ”

Xiao Linglong sighed: "When the time comes, what are you going to do, how dare they stop it?" ”

"That's what you have to think about."

Zhao Kang felt that Xiao Linglong's words were quite reasonable, but he really couldn't find any good way for a while.

You can't be like a mess, throw money out, and tell people directly to be my little brother, and I will cover you in the future!

Looking at his contemplative appearance with low eyebrows, Xiao Linglong's voice was as gentle as flowing water: "I'll help you think about it, I will go to Chunqiu in the next year, and you will be in charge of this Chunqiu imperial examination at that time." Then you have the status of a teacher. ”

Zhao Kang was startled and looked at Her Majesty the Empress blankly.

The imperial examination is divided into spring and autumn, which is the so-called meeting examination and township examination.

It is the most important day in the lives of countless students.

The students in the examination were the first place in the Gongshi, which is the so-called Huiyuan, and only after the examination can they have the opportunity to participate in the palace examination, and since then the future of the dragon gate is immeasurable.

The festival is generally held in the spring and is presided over by the Ministry of Rites.

During this period, the chief examiner for all candidates is the seat teacher, which is not something that ordinary people can serve.

To become a teacher, knowledge is naturally the most important thing, and the second is the connection.

Every time the quota of the imperial examination was snatched up by the ministers.

Because the benefits of this errand are not ordinary, he became a master in charge of the imperial examination.

Nominally, all the candidates admitted to this examination are the anonymous disciples of the master.

In Qianguo, they were able to participate in the imperial examination, and they were all children of wealthy clans, and the interests in this were self-evident.

Zhao Kang hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is not good, right?" ”

Xiao Linglong snorted: "Why is it not good?" You are the most knowledgeable person in my country, there is no doubt about this, let you take the main examination, and it is too late for those scholars to be happy. ”

"Even if others want to oppose it, but their talents can prevail over you?"

"I'm embarrassed to say that." Zhao Kang smiled.

Her Majesty the Empress glared at him: "Let's say it first, I'll let you choose talents, don't take money from people behind your back!" Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you. ”

"I'm like the kind of person who sees money." Zhao Kang called Qu Dao.

Her Majesty just smiled.

If you weren't, there would be no one who sees money in the sky.

After finishing the calculations in her heart, Xiao Linglong said again: "As for the person in charge of the mining of the ore vein, I have already thought about it, you think it is suitable or not." ”

"Who?" Zhao Kangdao.

Xiao Linglong: "The son of the Taishi, Yang Qian, the official department." ”

Zhao Kang sighed, and said suspiciously: "The son of the dignified master is a fourth-grade official?" ”

Xiao Linglong said: "Yang Gan is a capable official, loyal and pragmatic, and has good work ability, I think he is a good candidate, but I don't know your side." ”

"If there's anything to say about this, let him do it." Zhao Kang smiled.

Xiao Linglong blinked, "You don't object?" ”

"I have that personal grudge with Old Man Yang, and I don't care at all, why should I object?"

Xiao Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, and told Zhao Kang what Taishi Yang said that day.

Zhao Kang was a little surprised, this little old man was a master with clear grievances.

Xiao Linglong said: "The ministers of the court and the central government don't know the attitude of the imperial master towards you, but they all know that you both have grievances, in their opinion, I handed over this errand to Yang Gan to do it, which is a constraint on you, and they are afraid that they will gloat in their hearts, and laugh at you for being a bamboo basket." ”

"You'll be less stressed that way."

It turned out that there was still this consideration, Zhao Kang's heart was warm, quite apologetic, and he held the jade hand of Her Majesty the Empress: "I bothered you." ”

"I can only do these icing on the cake, this position seems to be majestic, but in fact it is full of constraints. It's you who suffers the most. ”

Xiao Linglong sighed, and then looked at Zhao Kang with hope: "But don't worry, no matter what you do, I will stand behind you and support you!" ”

"With your words, I don't feel anything no matter how bitter it is! I must create a prosperous world for you! ”

Listening to Zhao Kang's promise, Her Majesty the Empress held his hand tightly, and the emotions between the two were constantly heating up.
