Zhao Bingyu immediately understood Steward Wang's intentions, followed Steward Wang and retreated to the side of the team, and walked in from the side door of the Jin Mansion while everyone was not paying attention.

An An nodded, it turned out that this was the back door that was done.

After Steward Wang motioned to the steward who recorded the information to write his name, he took Zhao Bingyu to the side courtyard to rest, and asked his subordinates to serve heat dissipation ice cubes and fruit herbal tea, and treated them like guests sitting on them.

There were many people who signed up, but very few were written in the book by the steward, and after inquiry, I learned that the first round of screening had actually begun.

Zhao Bingyu was puzzled, "Dare to ask the housekeeper, how are the screening criteria for this first round set?" ”

Where they were, they happened to be able to see the situation of the screening personnel over there, and Steward Wang pointed to one of them: "Master Jia, please look at that person, his cheekbones are prominent, his eyes are narrow, and his lips are thick, and he must be compatible with my young lady, and the name of such a person naturally cannot be listed in the name book." ”

Zhao Bingyu drank tea and almost choked on the tea, everyone in the world knows that there is a saying that the eight characters are restrained, and it is the first time I have heard of each other's appearance, isn't this a disguised dislike for people's ugliness. A few more people came up over there, and the crooked-looking people were all eliminated, and he thought to himself that it was no wonder that he was opened the back door, and there was no second one in this pile who was better looking than him.

This world is more distant than the royal family, official status, family lineage, and then compared with conduct, appearance, and money. So in real terms, he Zhao Bingyu is also unique.

At this time, there was a good-looking and thoughtful person in the team who was also eliminated, and before Zhao Bingyu asked, Steward Wang took the initiative to explain the reason, the second criterion for the primary selection is age, and the age limit is to stand in the weak crown, and most of the people who signed up just now were younger than Jin Jiaojiao, so they were not able to participate.

Zhao Bingyu suddenly thought that that night Jin Wen inexplicably pulled himself to say a lot about Jin Jiaojiao's preferences and taboos, one of which was that she would never marry someone younger than herself.

So Jin Wen started to hint at himself at that time? Zhao Bingyu was a little unsure, and secretly glanced at An An, but fortunately, they found a fake household registration document to write his age two years older. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pass the primary election, so dangerous.

"Dare to ask Steward Wang, what are the main things to try next?" Zhao Bingyu didn't want to fight an unprepared battle, so he found out in advance, and he knew it in his heart.

Steward Wang replied politely: "Jia Gongzi just needs to stay and concentrate on the game, and don't have any psychological burden." As for the content of the competition, adhering to the principle of fairness and justice, Jinfu will not disclose it to anyone in advance, including you, Childe. ”

Zhao Bingyu looked at the luxurious fruit refreshments in front of him, and opened the back door, but it was not completely opened, at most it could only be regarded as a seam.

The first round of screening ended one after another near noon, and a total of 30 people were finally listed. They are about to win their first official game in the afternoon.

The first round of the competition: the literary test.

For this first competition, Jin Wen spent a lot of money to invite Du Lun, the master of Ying Tianfu Academy, who is well-versed in ancient and modern times, rich in learning, and has taught several champions.

As soon as the contestants heard that the first round of the competition was written and ink, or the questions were set by Du Lunfu's invigilation from Tianfu, they all became nervous and began to temporarily hold their feet and chew on the book. Only Zhao Bingyu has a very good mentality, and he slept leisurely after eating and drinking.

At the end of the five o'clock, the competition kicked off, the contestants sat in the Jinfu Boya Hall, the master Du Lun was dressed in white Confucian clothes, holding a green feather pu fan and walked solemnly to the main seat of the Boya Hall, but all those who had heard his name admired the old master, everyone stood and said hello respectfully before they sat down again, praying in their hearts that Du Lun would not be too embarrassed by the exam questions they would come out of later, after all, they only came to the Jin family as sons-in-law, not to enter the Beijing scientific examination champion.

It's just that they don't know that people with this kind of luck must end up being eliminated, although Jin Jiaojiao compromised with Jin Wen, but she will not marry anyone who pulls someone in front of her. Asking Du Lun to invigilate the exam is what she strongly demands, and it is also her last stubbornness.

It's not an official, but you must have the potential and qualifications to gain fame, and Miss Jin is ready to become a man.

Du Lun stroked his white and long beard and gave the test question: "Since it is to choose a son-in-law for the daughter of the richest man in Bianjing, then take business as the topic and discuss the business of our country. ”

As soon as the voice fell, someone began to write an urgent book, and the people who saw it were stressed and didn't want to lose at the starting line, so they also laid out paper and wrote, but in fact, they didn't have a clue in their heads.

The people lit incense, put ice on it, and brought rattan chairs for Du Lun. The weather was hot, the contestants were in an impatient mood, there were three or four people who really didn't have any ink in their stomachs, and they were already sweating profusely at this time, and they abandoned the exam after half a stick of incense, and left disappointed.

Zhao Bingyu's seating arrangement is really wonderful, just next to Du Lun, and the others secretly laughed at him before, how could he be so unlucky, he was drawn to the position under the nose of the prisoner, and was stared at by the old-fashioned old man, what kind of astronomy and geography can be made, he will be scared to pee. Now it was only their envy, at least that place could take advantage of Duren's cool light.

Du Lun tasted the iced tea, glanced at the contestants, all of them were impetuous, looking left and right, vain comparison, unsuccessful, useless, none of them could enter his eyes. Du Lun shook his head, retracted his gaze coldly, and suddenly appeared in his sight a dignified and elegant, dignified and calm young man, who was really outstanding and pleasing to the eye, this person was Zhao Bingyu.

In Zhao Bingyu's view, this question is in his arms, since the beginning of the dynasty, the rapid development of commerce, but Shi agriculture and industry, the conformist world has always had a deep prejudice against business, he has already had a thought, today can be regarded as finding an opportunity, just half a stick of incense time, he has been sprinkled with three or four pages, still do not see it stop writing.

Du Lun looked this person up and down, feeling that he was very similar to an old man of his own between his eyebrows and eyes, and went to see his handwriting. I haven't read his article yet, but my intuition tells Du Lun that this person must be talented.

Du Lun nodded appreciatively, and beckoned the little guy beside him to ask Zhao Bingyu's name, "Who is this?" Who's the child? ”

The little servant replied in a low voice: "Master Hui, this person's name is Jia Ming, a person from Shandong, who has lived alone, and only one attendant calls An'an, and depends on each other for his life." ”

Du Lun remembered Jia Ming deeply.

After a stick of incense, accompanied by Du Lun's shout: "When the time comes, you stop writing." The little guys immediately took the rice paper from the contestants' tables, giving no one a chance to delay.

Everyone took a deep breath, thinking that they had finally survived the first scene, and acquaintances began to meet for a drink later, relax, or go to a flower building to have a wandering wreckage, who knew that Du Lun announced in public that he was going to comment on the scene and read the papers.

Everyone gasped and began to sit still, Du Lun has always been ruthless in his comments in the academy, and he was vicious for a while, not to mention that they were not students of Ying Tianfu, and letting him read the papers in public was no less than suffering the torture of disembowelment.

Holding his breath on the spot, Du Lun began to read the papers, in less than a quarter of an hour, he had read more than fifteen copies, and he did not speak any unpleasant language, his expression was normal, and his tone could even be regarded as gently clicking the names of ten people.

"You ten can go," Du Lun put their articles on a separate table, and saw that they were smiling at the corners of their mouths, and a relaxed look, so he added: "I mean, you have been eliminated, and you don't have to participate in the next two rounds of competition." ”

Don't even bother to give a caustic and difficult comment.

The ten people turned into laughter and embarrassment, their expressions were complicated and pitiful, and after each retrieved the article, they could no longer stand this desperate scene, and fled in the wilderness.

Duren didn't give them half a look, he felt that the ten minutes he had just flipped through their articles were a waste of his precious time and life. The words are like dogs gnawing, Zhang Guan Li Dai, quoting scriptures indiscriminately, which simply pollutes his eyes. Jin Wen greeted him in advance and asked him to lower the standard of the competition, even if they wrote some clichés, they would not be driven away on the spot.

In the end, the first round of the competition only left 12 people's articles, most of them talked about the business development process of the Li Dynasty, the business involved, the importance of business, etc., only Zhao Bingyu's article made Du Lun refreshing, like drinking a living spring.

Du Lun read his article two or three times, and each time he read it, he could understand different new ideas, and he praised him even more.

Du Lun asked Zhao Bingyu: "You mentioned in the article that commerce is the most important weapon of the country, what do you mean?" ”

Zhao Bingyu replied: "Since ancient times, everyone in the world has said that soldiers are the most important weapons of the country. He also said: All the important weapons of the monarchy are more important than the order. The army and decrees are indeed an important weapon of a country. But I would like to add today that commerce is the most important weapon of the country, to put it simply, it takes money to raise the army, and money is also needed for the implementation of a new law, where does the money come from, taxes, as far as I know, commercial taxes are much greater than those of agriculture, so it can be seen that business definitely accounts for a large part of the country's development. If our country's business declines, we will inevitably face one word - poverty! How to build an army in poverty? If there is no strong army to resist foreign enemies, it will inevitably be backward and beaten, and the result will be corpses all over the field, who still has the heart to farm? The result is starvation again, and such a poor country is about to die. ”

Jin Jiaojiao, who had been hiding behind the screen and never showed up, was really shocked by his remarks, her impression of Jia Ming was just like his nickname The Lost Money Boy, just like his heartless little slippery head, I didn't expect that he had such far-reaching insight in his bones, and he really underestimated him before.

Thinking about it, the orange civet cat lying in Jin Jiaojiao's arms suddenly jumped to the ground and wanted to run to the front hall, which inevitably disturbed others, Jin Jiaojiao hurriedly got up to catch it, and accidentally made some movement. Everyone in the Boya Hall listened to Zhao Bingyu's analysis, and they all nodded yes, and they didn't pay attention to the sound coming from the screen behind the hall, but Zhao Bingyu was a martial artist after all, and his ear power was very accessible, and he immediately knew that someone was eavesdropping behind the screen, and he pretended to glance over there inadvertently, and saw a cute small orange curly tail exposed by the screen. Zhao Bingyu's chest rose and fell twice, and the little tail that Jin Jiaojiao followed behind him that night when he was drunk suddenly appeared in his mind.

Jin Jiaojiao pinched the yellow raccoon cat's skin neck and lifted her into the air and whispered a warning: "Little fox, don't make trouble." ”

Zhao Bingyu hooked his lips and smiled, and continued: "From another point of view, increasing the emphasis on business can also reduce war. This point is enough to show from the past 20 years that since the emperor encouraged trade between the Central Plains and the desert, the people on the border of our country live and work in peace and contentment, and are no longer disturbed by the desert tribes robbing resources. It's a win-win for both people. Although the ban on the sea is still being opened, I believe that as long as all businessmen and officials of the DPRK and China work together, one day, the ban will be lifted, and at that time, the commerce of our DPRK will be more prosperous and embark on a new milestone. ”

The serious old master Du looked bright, and applauded Zhao Bingyu's passionate speech, this person is really talented, he has such courage at a young age, if he can enter the court as an official one day, he will definitely create a world.

Among the remaining contestants, there are many children of businessmen, who were originally disgusted that Zhao Bingyu was appreciated by Du Lun, which hindered their way to marry the richest man Jin Jiaojiao, but now they were all moved by his words, and they were very emotional, and they were proud of their businessman status for the first time.
