Chapter 43: Challenges, Opportunities

Xu Nian has a headache today, not an ordinary headache.

Gui is the deputy head of the academy, with a high status, although he has no official position and real power, but the official scribes sent out under his hands, which one has no incense?

After years of accumulation, it has already formed a huge network of relationships.

It's a pity that these are of no use to him now.

As soon as he arranged the students sent by the teacher into the Heaven and Earth Academy, Xu Nian received a message that made him feel like a great enemy.

The battle for the January Wensheng List of the Dongyue County Branch of the White Deer Academy was handled by the ninth floor of Zhushan under his jurisdiction.

It is said that it is the deputy head of the building, but in fact, the head of the building is basically the head of the dragon and does not see the end, and the one who really manages a building with more than 300 heaven and earth courtyard scribes is the deputy head of the building.

But this time, Lord Zhanglou went out of the customs and personally asked about the battle for next month's Wensheng List.

"In December's Wensheng list, the poetry of the Dongyue Branch is only ranked forty-seventh, although there are still ten days before the end of December, but it is unlikely that the ranking will be further improved."

Qin Xiuman, the head of the ninth floor, poured a cup of tea for Xu Nian, and the tea was full of brilliance and intoxicating rich literary atmosphere.

It is the world-famous fragrant Luo spring tea.

If it was placed in normal times, Xu Nian would definitely taste it with joy, a cup of Fuyu Luochun tea was worth half a month of penance, but at this time, he didn't have the slightest intention to taste tea.

Because Qin Xiuman's words made him fall into an ice cave,

"The general court is furious, our Zhushan Mountain Lord basically doesn't ask about the world, and the deputy mountain master personally found me and gave me a death order."

"If the Wensheng List in January can't compete for the top twenty-five, the resources of the ninth floor platform for the coming year will be reduced by two percent."

Xu Nian held the teacup and pressed his fingers slightly, "Zhanglou, December is the focus of competition among all the masters of Wenzong, and ranking forty-seventh cannot all depend on us." ”

Qin Xiuman shook his head and sighed lightly, "There are nine branches in the White Deer Academy, and the Dongyue Branch has the lowest ranking, so naturally they want to trouble us. ”

"I also talked to the deputy mountain lord about this, and the deputy mountain lord gave me a condition that I had to accept."

"On what terms?"

"Break into the top 25, and next year's resources will rise by 20%." Qin Xiuman knocked on the table,

"There is a gap of forty percent, and you don't need to say that you should also know how big the difference is, the silver and the two are just an addition, the key is the literary atmosphere and the distribution of the prestige of a county."

"The entire 367 scribe students on the ninth floor will be greatly affected."

Xu Nian also sighed, "I understand, how much power can I use to compete for the list in January?" ”

"From now on, to the fifth day of the first month of January, all the resources of Zhushan are at your disposal, and the completed poems and I and the deputy mountain master will also look at them." Qin Xiuman replied.

Xu Nian drank all the tea in the cup, and then got up, "Okay, I'll check it myself." ”

Before leaving the room, Xu Nian suddenly stopped, "If I don't succeed in the competition, will I have to take the official position and leave?" ”

A word came from behind him, "Yes." ”

Xu Nian had mixed feelings in his heart and walked out of the door.

At the level of deputy head of the building, basically no one wants to leave, because there are too many things that can be obtained, which cannot be compared with a simple official position.

First of all, the area covered by the academy can become its own sphere of influence.

Secondly, fame and culture will also gain more, and there is no need to work hard to drill into the officialdom.

Even if you want to improve the Wengong, you can choose the official position in the richest place, cooperate with the resources of the academy, and improve the level of the Wenzheng in the shortest time, and then you can return to the academy.

But these can only be owned on the premise that he has not been deposed as the deputy head of the building.

And the so-called taking an official position and leaving is actually a dismissal.

At most, he can win an idle official position from the fifth grade, and then fend for himself.

Back in the room, Xu Nian was stuck in the chair, frowning, and speechless for a long time.

In January, there will not be as many masters as in December, after all, the Wensheng list in December is known as the battle of all saints.

The entire Great Jin Dynasty's master Wenzong wants to take the top spot in December and establish his position in the literary world.

This has been the norm for thousands of years.

December's Wensheng List has therefore become the month with the most fame and literature, but once on the list, the harvest is comparable to the sum of two or even three months at other times.

January is the first battle for the Wensheng List at the beginning of the year, and the pressure will not be too great, but the ranking of the top 20 is really a headache.

has become a stable position, and even has the opportunity to go to the next level; Losing stopped, and years of hard work collapsed.

……

As soon as Li Changan returned to the inn, Liu Linglong pounced on him, hugged Li Changan, a pair of big eyes were about to cry, and asked with a pout, "Brother, why have you been out for so long?" ”

Li Changan touched Liu Linglong's little head and explained with a smile, "I went to the academy today, and I am afraid that I will have to do it every day in the future." ”

"Huh?" Liu Linglong raised her head, "Then what if I miss my brother?" ”

"Okay, Linglong, Chang'an must be tired after a hard day, let him rest for a while and have dinner later." Liu Zhiyin walked out of the west bedroom and said.

His eyes fell on Li Changan, and the concern in his eyes was overflowing.

Li Changan touched Liu Linglong's little head, and smiled at Liu Zhiyin, "Sister-in-law......"

Liu Zhiyin smiled and poured a cup of tea for Li Changan, and said gently, "I have already found the tooth man today, but the tooth man said that the house near the academy is more expensive. ”

Li Changan took the teacup, "If it is more than two hundred taels, then first find a safe and secluded room, not too big, and when you have the silver, then change it to the vicinity of the academy." ”

"Okay." Liu Zhiyin nodded softly.

Liu Linglong looked at Li Chang'an, and then at Liu Zhiyin, and always felt that the two of them were a little strange.

During the time I was away, something must have happened to my brother and sister.

Liu Linglong pouted in annoyance, so angry, my brother treats me as a child at all.

I only tell my sister everything.

And are my sister and brother too close? When the two of them were talking, they didn't look at me at all.

Dinner was simple, Li Changan took Liu Linglong by the hand, followed by Liu Zhiyin, and the three of them walked around the county together.

The county town is much more lively than the county town.

Li Changan bought two packs of candied fruit, one package for Liu Zhiyin and Liu Linglong.

"When we move into a new house, we will make rock candy for my sister-in-law, and this time we can make a few more flavors." Li Changan said.

Liu Zhiyin nodded, the candied fruit was in his mouth, but it was sweet in his heart.

This is the agreement between the two of them.

Liu Linglong's little head hit Li Changan's chest, "Brother, what rock candy?" I've never heard of it. ”

"I'll make it for us in two days, okay?"

"Isn't it delicious?"

"Well, it's sweet."

"Is it sweeter than preserves?"

"Sweeter than preserves."

"Then I'll eat it too." As soon as she heard that there was something delicious, the smile on Liu Linglong's face could no longer be stopped.

It's still a child.

Liu Linglong and Liu Zhiyin are both tall and tall, but their temperaments are completely different.

Li Changan and Liu Zhiyin glanced at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

The three of them went around and returned to the inn,

"When we settle down here, I will discuss with Uncle Zhang, and maybe we can open a hot pot restaurant in the county town." Li Changan said.

"Really?" Liu Zhiyin's eyes swelled with joy.

"Well, let's go eat hot pot together then." Li Changan said with a smile.

"Brother, I'm going to sleep with you tonight." After Liu Linglong washed up, she ran into the east bedroom with a shout.

was grabbed by Liu Zhiyin, "No, the situation was special before, but now it is absolutely not good, you are already a big girl." ”

"I don't want it, I don't have my brother by my side, I'm afraid, I'm going to sleep with my brother." Liu Linglong cried with a sad face, her big eyes squeezed, trying to squeeze out a tear or two.

But Liu Zhiyin didn't eat this, and dragged Liu Linglong to the west bedroom, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is a sister, you sleep with your sister tonight." ”

Liu Linglong looked at Li Changan with blank eyes, turned around three times in one step, and held her mouth aggrievedly.

Li Changan couldn't cry or laugh, this little girl was a piece, so she comforted her, "Linglong, when you settle down, my brother has something good for you." ”

"Really?" Liu Linglong's eyes widened in surprise.

"Hmm." Li Changan nodded affirmatively.

Liu Linglong obediently followed Liu Zhiyin back to the west bedroom.

Li Changan shook his head with a smile, lay on the bed after washing, looked at the curtain above his head, and couldn't sleep for a long time.

Do you want to try the Wensheng list?

The cultivation manual says that the assault on the Wensheng List is a very costly battle, no less than a real war.

If I try it myself, will there be any problems? I'll go to the academy tomorrow and ask again.

In addition, the good things I told my little sister had to start preparing, and my sister-in-law also needed them.

My body has been plagued with lesions for a long time, and after awakening the Wenqi, there is a cultural nourishment, and it can be slowly recovered.

Although my sister-in-law and little sister have never had a serious illness, they have suffered a lot and need to be well regulated......

Thinking about it, Li Changan slowly fell asleep.
