Shi Xian didn't go to the flower hall, but offered to see the crops that Lin Qingwan planted in the backyard.

That land not only had rice fields and wheat fields, but also a piece of land to grow melons, fruits and vegetables, Shi Xian asked, "Are they all planted by the county lord?" ”

Lin Qingwan said: "There is Yubin and nephew to help." ”

"Then there is a heart," Shi Xian saw that a few winter melon seedlings had climbed onto the shelf, reached out and touched its vibrant rattan, and suddenly left the prepared words behind, she came back to her senses and looked at Lin Qingwan with blazing eyes and said: "The pre-Qin Dynasty was awarded officials with military merits, and they were knighted, and in the Han Dynasty, they were replaced by the inspection system. ”

Lin Qingwan bowed, she also studied history, so she naturally knew this, no matter how advanced and suitable a system was at the beginning, as time went by, it would only become more and more corrupt.

One is that it is no longer suitable for that era; Second, it is a matter of interest, and after understanding its laws, some people naturally deliberately seek it.

Then it won't be able to play its role anymore.

"After the inspection is the nine-product Zhongzheng system, although it was changed to the inspection system, but the Wei and Jin dynasties were able to eliminate corruption, and selected a lot of talented people for the country, and the gate lord clan was from that time, until the Sui Dynasty had the imperial examination system," Shi Xian paused and said: "Lord Lin, I don't know if you know, although the Sui Dynasty died because Emperor Yang was rigid and self-serving, the reason for the great joy is there, but the creation of the imperial examination is also a major reason." ”

At that time, the gate lord clan was prosperous, and Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to create the imperial examination, which directly touched their bottom line, otherwise it would be impossible to revolt in various places, and look at who led the rebellion at that time.

Lin Qingwan's eyes lit up and looked at Shi Xian, "I forgot, Mr. Shi is from a historian, so there are historical records of the Sui and Tang dynasties at home?" ”

Shi Xian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Lord Lin seems to be very interested in historiography. ”

Lin Qingwan coughed lightly and said, "It is a very joyful thing to follow the footsteps of our ancestors. ”

The smile on Shi Xian's face couldn't help but be more genuine, "It's like my mother said this, history can give people warnings and guidance." Since the lord of Lin County loves history, he should know how dangerous what you are doing now, after the death of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Liang used a large number of families in order to gain support, so the nine-grade system and the imperial examination system were equally important, and it was a last resort at that time, but now it is a big tail, and it is like wax, but it is possible to break off if you abandon it.

And now you want to chop off this tail, who knows that you will not become the lost arm? ”

"Mr. Shi thinks too highly of me, I'm just a widow living in the countryside, how can I serve a country?"

Shi Xian said: "The county lord dares to set the price of straw paper so low, and dares to announce the formula of straw paper, is it not for a country?" ”

Lin Qingwan was silent.

Shi Xian didn't continue, she took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to her, "This is what my brother-in-law asked me to give to you." ”

Lin Qingwan raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

Shi Xian smiled, "Don't worry, it's not a private gift, if your nephew wants to go to the Lu family to learn, he will take this handwritten letter to Qingfeng Mountain." He said that the county lord is so righteous, then the children and nephews she values will not be too bad. ”

Lin Qingwan took the letter and saluted, "Please Mr. Shi thank Mr. Lu for me." ”

Shi Xian bowed his head and sighed: "I hope the county lord can take care." ”

Lin Qingwan saw that she was worried, so she couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Shi, in the eyes of many ministers in the court, I am just a seventeen-year-old widow, I have no knowledge and no experience, and I am not enough to be afraid. ”

Now they hate her because she touches their interests, but it's not a threat, so the other side will hate her and impeach her, but won't think of killing her.

Lin Qingwan calmly opened her hands and said: "I am not the lord of Ruying, I don't have an army in my hands, and I don't even have a close relative to be an official in the court." ”

Shi Xian looked back at her, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's best not to enter the capital until the Lord of Nalin County can protect himself, otherwise those people will see it, and maybe they will treat you as General Zhong." ”

Lin Qingwan couldn't help but laugh heartily when she heard this, "I'll just take Mr. Shi's words as a compliment." ”

Seok-hyun said goodbye and left.

When Lin Yubin changed her clothes and rushed over, she could only see the tail of the carriage, and she glared and said, "Why didn't my aunt leave Mr. Shi to eat." ”

"Mr. Shi is busy, how can he have time to eat?" Lin Qingwan stretched out her hand to lead her back to the house and asked, "What did the gentlemen's classmates say in the academy today?" ”

"No, my classmates didn't take this matter to heart, but Mr. Shi asked a few more questions, and then said to send me back when he got out of school."

Lin Qingwan nodded.

Lin Yubin asked in a low voice, "Auntie, this thing is very dangerous, isn't it?" ”

"If it's a man who does this, it must be very dangerous," Lin Qingwan said, "If he is smart but powerless, those who are offended by his interests will not tolerate him; If he is smart and powerful, those who are smart but selfish will not tolerate him, so it will be difficult for him to live unless he is lucky. ”

"But my aunt is not a man," Lin Qingwan said softly: "I'm a woman, and I'm the county lord, and I have the Lin family as my backing, so I'll be fine, well, at most I will be scolded a few words." ”

Lin Yubin muttered, "Why don't I feel happy." ”

"That's right, because we are not respected by our opponents, but one day they will pay the price for their contempt and stupidity." Lin Qingwan smiled and said, "Now we just need to watch quietly." ”

Lin Yubin couldn't help but bend his eyebrows with joy when he thought about their annoyance in the future.

The aunt and nephew were secretly happy, but the people who were staring at the movement here didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

Because they also got the recipe for straw paper, which means that their paper mill can also produce straw paper, and they can get a hand in the business.

But the price of straw paper is almost fixed at eight cents a knife, do you want to raise the price?

With so many people outside learning this skill, can you unite with people in the industry to unify the price, but can you also ask these people to have a price with you?

At that time, the price in your store is high, but the people are selling at a low price, how much business do they still have?

So it's really not a happy thing.

Because before the straw paper came out, although the cost of their hemp paper was high, the price was also high, even if it was a large number of wholesalers, they could earn at least four yuan.

Now, the cost is four to five yuan, and the retail price is only eight yuan, if it is wholesale, it will definitely be lower, and you can earn two yuan with one knife.

It's a big loss.

Everyone couldn't help but hate Lin Qingwan, why do you have to lose both, you said that it would be good if you directly raised the paper price, and then took out the formula and exchanged it with them, so that you are good, I am good, everyone is good.

Do you have to make it so ugly?

When the news reached the capital, nearly half of the ministers in the DPRK and China felt that Lin Qingwan was too naïve, and they actually quarreled with each other, causing a defeat for both sides.

And most of the remaining half also felt that Lin Qingwan was young and vigorous, too ungentle.

Only a few people noticed something different, but they didn't say it.

First, they couldn't get used to what Chen Shangshu and others did, but it was just a piece of paper, and they were too narrow-minded to make such an ugly fuss with a girl.

Second, in recent years, the imperial examination has become more and more unsatisfactory, and almost all the prisoners in the Guozi Prison are the descendants of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and they do not give others a chance to live.

Now it is okay, it should be an opportunity for the Shu people, and the more Shu people participate in the imperial examination in the future, see if they dare to be so bullying.

So most of them silently buried their opinions on Lin Qingwan in their hearts and did not mention this matter again.

But there is also a thought of affection, and out of kindness, remind the courtiers involved in this matter, "It's just a piece of paper, why make such a big fuss, it's better to take the initiative to take a step back, and you can also sell Lord Lin." ”

The other party's face was very bad, "How can I return it now, she has scattered the formula all over the world, what's the point of us returning it or not?" ”

"You can't say that, you started the matter first, so what's wrong with you apologizing to others, brother, don't blame me for not reminding you, this Lord Lin is not simple, it's not the second Zhong Ruying."

The other party sneered, "Lin Jiajun became the Northeast Army thirty years ago, how did she become Zhong Ruying?" ”

Seeing that he didn't listen, the people who reminded him could only shake their heads and sigh.

And Zhao Jie, who was on the front line, was also silent for a long time when he received the news from the rear, and he was also thinking about whether Lin Qingwan's move was angry or intentional.

If so, what does she want?

Thinking of the beneficiaries of the overflow of straw paper, Zhao Jie's heart jumped, and he secretly clenched his fists, isn't this sister of Lin Jiang the second Zhong Ruying?

His face sank like water, turned around and entered the account, and said to his henchman: "You personally send a letter back to Suzhou, and ask the second master, how Lin Qingwan is a person, if he is as wise as his brother,"

Zhao Jie said in a deep voice: "Then we will never suffer in the future." ”

The henchman was taken aback, and when he saw him looking at it, he lowered his head and said yes, but he still couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

What kind of enmity does the general have with the Lin family, and he doesn't even let go of his daughters.

Zhao Jie sealed the letter and handed it to him, "Set off as soon as possible, if you do it, sweep your tail clean, didn't she just have a grudge with someone?" ”

This is to frame the blame for those who impeached her in the DPRK and China, but isn't there a general's father-in-law in it?

The henchman did not hesitate, bowed his head and retreated, but he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He is also a soldier, he can't accept to assassinate a female relative, and the Lin family has no men, why bother?

The henchman delivered the letter to Zhao Sheng, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Second Master, is that Lord Lin so smart?" ”

Zhao Sheng sneered disdainfully and said: "It's just a battle of will, what's so powerful, you just look at it, she will regret it in the future." ”

He opened the letter and read it quickly, frowned, and said, "Big brother is thinking too much and asking you to take action in person." ”

The henchman lowered his head and did not speak.

Zhao Sheng frowned, and said half-loudly: "It's okay, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and only then can the heart be stable." ”

He didn't believe that Lin Qingwan was so powerful, but she really hated it, he still remembered the hatred of the gluttonous building, since the eldest brother decided to do it, then he would obey.
