Hearing Ye Xu's request, the county magistrate said with a little embarrassment: "Ye Gongzi, you and I are friends of life and death, it stands to reason that as long as it is your request, I will meet it, but today this matter is really a bit difficult...."

"Difficult? What's the difficulty? Ye Xu glanced at the county order suspiciously.

Could it be that there is a second person in Wuping County who is more capable than himself?

"Ye Gongzi, have you heard of Yun Da Yunbo?" The prefectural order said.

Yunbo?

Ye Xu remembered.

Isn't this person Yunbo who has participated in his own wine tasting before?

"Well, I remember, didn't he mean one of the emperor's enlightenment teachers today? Could it be that he wants to participate in this lifting system? Ye Xu said.

"It's not him, it's his son." The county commander nodded and said: "He has a son named Yunjin, and every year our Wuping County quota is given to him, although he can't pass the exam every year..."

Hearing the county order say this, Ye Xu suddenly realized.

It turned out that the emperor's teacher relied on his influence to let his son get the quota of this lifting system.

However, this Yun Jin really embarrassed his father, and he didn't take the exam for several years in a row, but he still had the face to continue to ask for this place.

The county magistrate on the side seemed to know what Ye Xu was thinking, and said with a dry smile: "It is not appropriate for you to say that this person is influenced by his father Yunbo, after all, no one in our Wuping County can stabilize his talent." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Ye Xu instantly became interested, looked at the county order and said, "Then if I win him in literary talent, can I give me this lifting quota?" ”

"Hmm...," the county commander thought for a while and said, "You can understand it that way. ”

"Okay, lead the way." Ye Xu patted the county commander's shoulder and said.

"Lead the way, where to go?" The county commander was stunned.

"Go to Yunbo's house." Ye Xu said with a smile.

"Ye Gongzi, you see that I am struggling to sit now, how can I show you the way? Why don't you let my son Bin'er go with you?" said the county magistrate with a wry smile.

"Well, that's fine." Ye Xu nodded and said.

Yunbo's family lived in the northern part of Wuping County, probably because the scenery in the north of Wuping County was more exquisite, which was particularly attractive to literati.

Yunbo, as a family in Wuping County, his house is still quite large.

It may be because Yunbo advocates frugality, and the decoration of the courtyard is not luxurious.

There are also a few green bamboos planted in front of the courtyard, which adds a bit of simplicity and simplicity to this house.

Seeing Sun Bin coming, the subordinates of Yunfu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Senior Brother Sun, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the master misses it very much." ”

"Senior brother?" After hearing this title, Ye Xu whispered to Sun Bin: "Brother Sun, is it possible to make this Yunbo or your master?" ”

Sun Bin nodded and smiled and said, "I have studied with Yun everyone for a few years before. ”

Under the leadership of the subordinates, Ye Xu and Sun Bin came to the main hall.

At this time, a young man in a gray Confucian robe walked out of the main hall, and when he saw Sun Bin, he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Sun, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Sun Bin waved his hand and smiled, and introduced to Ye Xu: "This is the master's son Yunjin." ”

"Senior Brother Yun, this is Ye Xu, a wealthy businessman from our Wuping County."

Yun Jin glanced at Ye Xu, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Shinong Industry and Commerce.

As a person who has read poetry and books, he looks down on a businessman like Ye Xu in his heart.

"Bin'er, why do you have time to come and see the master today?" At this time, Yunbo walked out of the inner hall and looked at Sun Bin with a smile.

"The master is polite." Sun Bin made a big gesture towards Yunbo and said, "Our Ye Gongzi from Wuping County wants to meet the master, and Bin'er specially brought him to introduce him." ”

"Oh?" Yun Bo glanced at Ye Xu, thought for a while and said, "I remember you, your wine really makes the old man have an endless aftertaste." ”

"Yun, everyone praised it falsely." Ye Xu said with a smile: "If everyone Yun likes it, Ye Xu will order someone to send a few bottles over to everyone Yun to taste immediately." ”

Yun Bo smiled and waved his hand and said, "Scholars, no merit is not subject to merit, no merit is not subject to merit." I don't know what happened to Ye Gongzi this time? ”

Yunbo is a very person-natured, rich and noble, and mighty and unyielding.

Except, of course, for his precious son Yunjin.

"Ye Xu heard that Brother Yun Jin is a recommended candidate for the county's lifting system, and it just so happens that Ye Xu is also very interested in this place, so he wants to come over and fight for it." Ye Xu said slowly.

Hearing this, Yun Jin's disdain for Ye Xu became even stronger, and after glancing at Ye Xu a few times, he said, "You are a businessman, where do you know how to govern the country and become an official?" ”

"Come in, don't be rude." After Yun Bo drank Yun Jin, he turned to Ye Xu and said: "Ye Gongzi, forgive the old man's words, this system of lifting people is not as simple as the way of a businessman like you, if Ye Gongzi wants to rely on the system of lifting people to pave the way for your businessman, the old man advises you to dispel this idea as soon as possible, so as not to set yourself on fire in the end." ”

Ye Xu smiled slightly.

I don't know how to govern the country.

But I have read China for 5,000 years.

Won't you learn the methods of governing the country yourself?

"Everyone Yun is worried, Ye Xu came here this time, I just want to ask everyone Yun, this lifting system, can Ye Xu compete fairly with Ling Gongzi?" Ye Xu said with a smile.

Hearing the words fair competition, Yunbo was obviously a little unhappy.

After all, he is a person with a very literati backbone, although the people of the entire Wuping County know that he has more or less paved the way for his son's lifting system through his influence.

But as long as he dies and doesn't admit it, then the matter doesn't exist.

This is the bottom line that he adheres to as a scholar.

"Since Ye Gongzi is willing to compete fairly with Yun Jin, Yun Jin is naturally willing to accompany him." Yun Jin said disdainfully.

"Jin'er, don't be rude..."Yun Bo frowned and looked at Yun Jin.

"Father, don't worry. Jin'er didn't want the people of Wuping County to say that Jin'er had won the quota of this lifting system through his father's influence. Yun Jin said confidently.

Seeing Yun Jin's confident appearance, Ye Xu couldn't help but feel that this person was really thick-skinned.

"Then ask everyone Yun to come up with the question, and let me follow up with Childe and have a good comparison." Ye Xu said with a smile.

"Am I out of question?" Yun Bo looked at Ye Xu a little surprised and said, "Isn't Ye Gongzi afraid that I, Yun someone, will favor my son?" ”

Ye Xu smiled slightly: "I believe in the people of the Yun family. Besides, if Ye Xu can let the Yun family choose me between your own son, then the entire Wuping County will be more convinced of me Ye Xu will take this lifting system. ”

"Okay." Yun Bo touched his beard and said, "Then I'll make a proposition." ”
