Pearl does things for a purpose, she thought of a good thing, thought of a rich businessman's pocket silver to fund the construction of the country, the military expenses of the navy. Among the things given by the emperor last time, there were some things, and they were all peerless treasures. There are many pearls in the warehouse and space. For example, Night Pearl, if she had one or two, it would be fine, but she already has a lot of them. Furthermore, if we can think of a way to set up a relief fund. In this way, once there is a famine, those people in the government need to report it layer by layer, and the final allocation of disaster relief food and silver taels will go through layers of exploitation, and only a few can reach the people, and only a part of it can be saved. But once a disaster strikes, the people already know what will happen, and it has always been like this, unless the restraint is too strong and the people are forced to rebel. But those officials who dare to be corrupt are all old oilers, and they will not have an accident if they take as much as they take, everyone knows very well.

However, it is the suffering of the people, medical care, education are all problems, as well as water conservancy projects, and afforestation projects in the northwest. Pearl felt that she was so happy that she could save so many people by herself, and she didn't even ask for anything in return. This idea has now been formed, and I suddenly feel so excited in my heart, as if I am full of energy, and I look back and think about the love in my last life, this life is muddy, but now I am sober, relieved, and relaxed. Now I have been out with Qin Min for more than two months. handed over the child to someone else, Qin Hui, as a husband, was still very supportive, and now he is tempted, thinking about it carefully, this is not out of recognition and love for himself. That's what indulgence! Knowing that pearls are people who can't be closed. knew that Pearl was a person who did great things, and at this time, Pearl suddenly realized that Qin Hui, her husband, was her confidant!

In this way, Pearl was pleased. Miss her Liu Pearl, seek wealth and get rich, the richest man in the world! Seek power and get power, super life! There are three beloved sons in the family, who are healthy and intelligent, and the stepsons and stepdaughters are respectful and filial to her. Follow suit. In the four northeastern provinces, her reputation as Mrs. Qin, among the women who are hung in the mouths of the people, she is absolutely the first. Even the queen is not as popular as her. Life. What is not satisfied? No one has me. Don't seek fame and fortune, don't ask for returns, and don't ask for any good fortune after death. She is just a willful life, living the life she wants to live and doing what she wants to do. In the future, her three sons, after learning everything they should learn, will completely follow them, anyway, she will definitely prepare people and money for her here, and protect her sons and even grandchildren.

Pearl now has three plans to implement, a welfare lottery scheme that will be issued once a month, and a counterfeit-proof lottery ticket will be printed by Pearl's printing house. Then, you have to let the court make a decree that private businessmen are not allowed to do lottery business. These welfare lotteries twice a month, in front of the public to draw, each lottery ticket to take the household registration card to buy, a lottery ticket to charge a tael of silver, the upper limit is five hundred taels, the money obtained, will be used in the construction of water conservancy projects, in each town to run a school, no charge, but also for food and housing. However, every child over the age of eight is required to study here for two years, and can continue to study if they wish, but they will need to pay for it from the family. Two years to brainwash an eight-year-old child, enough time. It is enough for them to know the words used in life, learn arithmetic, learn etiquette, and learn etiquette.

In addition, the money can also be used for medical treatment, disaster relief, etc., and some talented, prestigious, and upright representatives of celebrities, squires, officials, and students will be invited to supervise it. And the organization that operates the lottery belongs to Pearl.

The second idea was to hold various competitions, and Pearl prepared competitions in books, music, chess, painting, cooking, embroidery, mathematics, medicine, and all-round. Veterinarians, agricultural planting, ornament crafts, carpenters and blacksmiths, and most importantly, a joust.

Some of the subjects in these competitions must be produced on the spot, and some need to be auditioned, preliminary, semi-final, and other promotion competitions. Some competitions are also divided into two groups, men and women, and those who sign up to participate must be good citizens, and they have to pay an entry fee of 100 taels.

This competition is also very complicated, for example, this 'music' competition is divided into several parts, first, play a musical instrument that you are good at. Then there is the listening, where the participants listen to the music, write down the scores they memorize, and then there is the answer sheet, which has knowledge about music. In the end, the well-known tunes are changed, and the better the changes, the higher the score. The top three have prizes, and the first prize is: a Tang Dynasty guqin, four precious music scores. 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver.

The prize for the second place is also a good piano made by a famous artist, but compared with the guqin of the Tang Dynasty, it is still much worse. The score was given in two volumes, five thousand taels of silver and five hundred taels of gold.

The prize for the third place is a piano or a dong flute, a sheet music, 100 taels of gold, and 2,000 taels of silver.

The most important thing is that the emperor will also give words of commendation. Of course, this program is divided into male and female groups.

Another noteworthy aspect of the comprehensive exam is that this paper has 50 questions, all of which are multiple-choice. It contains a lot of content, including the content of books, as well as questions about medicine, questions that test the common sense of life, and arithmetic problems. The program is gender-neutral, and the first name gets a set of precious books. A set of the best four treasures of the study. A piece of the best mutton fat jade pendant, as well as a gift from the emperor. Two thousand taels of gold, twenty thousand taels of silver, a grange of one hundred acres, and a house in the city. One thousand-year-old ginseng and one bronze tripod.

Pearl just wants everyone to know that reading is not just about reading the Four Books and Five Classics, learning to live, learning to behave in the world, knowing the suffering of the world, all say that there is no first, but at this time, where does anyone not want the first? Among these prizes given by pearls, there are precious books, rare good things, a large amount of gold and silver, and ink treasures awarded by the emperor. Once you win the top spot, it will be both fame and fortune!

The purpose of holding these competitions is, on the one hand, to give other talents in addition to reading the books of the sages a chance to show their ambitions, and on the other hand, it is also to let those literati have something to do, not to read the Four Books and Five Classics, even if they know the major events in the world. Precisely for this purpose. Therefore, the prize of that comprehensive exam is the highest, involving all aspects of life, and there are also questions about the Four Books and the Five Classics. So no one can say anything.

These three are also the hope that the comprehensive examination can make everyone pay attention to women's upbringing and learning. The women's comprehensive examination not only tests mathematics, accounting, management issues, and the problem of treating the elderly on the spot, but also tests the knowledge of fabrics, jewelry, and embroidery. There is also the knowledge of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Test the knowledge of gift-giving, and of course, the etiquette problem. The prizes they received were about as valuable as the men's gifts. Pearl is more concerned about women's exams. However, the pearl gave a set of treasures of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Tang Qin, jade Go, famous calligraphy, ancient paintings of the former dynasty. Two thousand gold. Twenty thousand silver. The house and the Zhuangzi also have them, but there are ten more high-quality brocades and two sets of large sets of jewelry in the treasure building. One thousand-year-old ginseng, one heterochromatic double-sided embroidered interstitial. However, the emperor will not commend it, but the queen mother in the palace will give a reward.

So, will pearls lose money? Of course it's impossible, if you come to see the game, let's not talk about the preliminary round, and the admission ticket for the final can cost five hundred taels of silver. In addition, when you come to the competition, you must buy clothes and jewelry, buy the four treasures of the study room for the exam, paints and tools for painting, as well as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and various books. Not to mention the cooking skills of the competition, it will definitely make the local restaurant a fire, and there are many people who come to see the excitement and participate in the competition, which will definitely drive the local service industry. Such a good thing, of course, is good in the Northeast! However, there was no way, there was a depression over there, so I simply did it here, and then made a big announcement all over the country, and anyone could participate. There is no age limit.

Finally, there is the auction, which is not well known to the general public, and only the big salt merchants, wealthy merchants and wealthy families in the city will receive invitations to participate in the auction. To put it bluntly, this is an auction that only the richest people can participate in. The pearls have to be auctioned for some things in exchange for gold, and the auctioned ones are the guqins of the Tang Dynasty, all of which are famous, there are two in total, three night pearls, one is orange, one is blue, and one is green. Pearls embroidered themselves with large double-sided heterochromatic embroidered rosewood carved screens. Two red gold inlaid treasure screens. Two large grandfather clocks. Two huge coral trees. Large jade carving, a white jade Guanyin more than half a meter high, Guanyin is snow-white, only the lotus flower in the hand is pale green. There are also five large pearls and two strings of colored large round pearls. A golden silk nanmu Buddha statue. A statue of Maitreya Buddha. A pair of bracelets, a string of Buddhist beads. Gold watches, pocket watches set with precious stones, mirrors set with diamonds, ten luxurious sets of jewels set with red gold and diamonds. Crane silk, emerald brocade, fine fur brocade, streamer brocade, seven-color satin, five-color forging and printed chiffon, as well as various colors of fur, thousand-year-old ginseng, He Shou Wu, and two Tianshan snow lotus plants with ice cubes in the jade box. The best bird's nest, special essence pill and so on.

The auction pearl did not appear, and it was enough to find a guy with a mouth Baliso, plus a few stewards of the Treasure Building. After going back, Qin Min finally got out of the customs, and the two of them continued to shop in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and when they heard that there was going to be a competition, Qin Min really didn't want to leave. I want to participate, too,

"Mother, I also want to participate, although I may not be able to win the prize in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it is good to participate! Also, the comprehensive exam, maybe I can do it? Back at the inn, Qin Min took Pearl's hand and didn't let go, but Pearl just didn't let go, and it took a long time to smile and say,

"Naturally, you can't participate, first, you are too young, participate, it will affect your likes and dislikes of your studies in the future, which is not good for your development, besides, we all know that this exam has something to do with our family, you go to participate, no matter what you do, people will worry about the fairness of the competition."

Qin Min's face sank, she looked so disappointed, when Pearl saw her like this, she felt that it was indeed difficult for a child, she would be curious, this is normal! So he said, "Okay, I have something tomorrow, I'll have someone take you to the place where the game is playing, preparations have already begun, but you can only go and see it, you know?" ”

"Yes!" Qin Min nodded happily, she didn't care how many prizes there were, but she was very curious about those who went to participate, and besides, this was a lively place! Of course you have to see.

Pearl will really have something to do tomorrow, and the newly bought tea house has already seen it. The land to be bought also went to check. I'm going to sign a contract tomorrow, and Pearl plans to find a few masters who have the ability to make fans, this thing is done well, literati, people at home and abroad like it!
