"March 15th, I have nothing to do, and the courtyard is cool."

"On March 16, Xiaolou watched the rain, so pleasant."

"March 17, the wind is calm, today is the best day to fish."

"March 18, Qin Fan, Qin Fan, how can you be so slack, have you forgotten your ambition?"

"March 19, fishing."

"March 25th, it's too bad, this month's Yulu is spent, and I knew that I wouldn't buy sugar gourds for Li Anran."

"On March 26, go out to make rice money."

"Boss, what is this?"

A scholar came to the stall, looked around, and found that he had never seen such a thing.

"Roasted sweet potatoes, ten cents each, try them?"

Qin Fan casually broke open a sweet potato and handed out a piece.

The scholar twitched his nose, and a sweet smell poured into his nostrils.

He took the sweet potato, thanked him again, and opened his mouth to nibble on it.

But after taking a bite, I almost didn't blister it, but I was reluctant to spit out the sweet potato.

You can only "snort" and "snort" and snort to light up, and jump up and down at the same time to relieve the pain.

It took a while for the scholar to swallow the sweet potato, and Qin Fan also poured a cup of barley tea for the other party.

The scholar took the barley tea, which was the cow drink.

Qin Fan looked at the other party's appearance and said with a smile, "It's just baked, you won't be more leisurely."

The scholar scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

"Boss, how much is this barley tea."

Qin Fan pouted: "I gave it to you, how much is barley tea worth?"

Seeing this, the scholar said, "Then boss, wrap up the rest of the sweet potatoes, I want them all!"

Qin Fan raised his eyebrows: "All wanted? There are no less than twenty sweet potatoes here, have you eaten them all?"

The scholar smiled shyly, "I have never tasted this sweet potato, but it is so delicious. I also want to share it with my classmates."

Qin Fan glanced at the other party at this time, the scholar's dress was obviously not an ordinary person.

The night pearl on the belt alone can buy ten carts of roasted sweet potatoes.

So he didn't persuade him more, wrapped the sweet potato casually, and handed it to the scholar.

The scholar took out a piece of silver and said generously, "No need to look for it!"

Qin Fan didn't say much, after all, looking at the other party's clothes, he obviously didn't take one or two pieces of silver seriously.

And after receiving this tael of silver, I don't have to go out of the stall in the next few days.

Isn't it nice to go fishing in the river?

"Qianqian, I'm back!"

Qin Fan greeted Qianqian, and then lay down on the rocking chair by himself.

"Childe, why did you come back so early today?" Qianqian poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a puzzled expression.

"Today, I ran into a big sum of money and bought all the roasted sweet potatoes for one or two silver." Qin Fan narrowed his eyes and poured himself another cup of tea.

"A lot of money?"

"A guy dressed as a scholar, with a night pearl inlaid around his waist, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a noble son! But it's not as arrogant as the little monkey pig."

"Scholar? Aren't you here to participate in the Spring Festival?" Qianqian wondered.

"Spring?" Hearing the word Chunqiu, Qin Fan's mind was flooded with thoughts.

It's time for another year of imperial examinations!

In Datang, every autumn will be held in various townships to hold a "liberation test", also called Qiuqiu.

And those talents who have passed the autumn festival can enter Beijing in the spring of the following year to take the exam and participate in the spring festival.

Qin Fan won the top 100 names in the Spring Festival, so he obtained this official hat.

It's just that because of the low ranking, he only became the alternate county commander of Wannian County in the end.

The predecessor Ding was worried, and it was his turn.

Now, nearly a year has passed.

A new batch of talents rushed to the capital to prepare to participate in the Spring Festival.

I remembered the one I bought sweet potatoes before

Xiucai, the violation is sure that the other party will definitely fall first.

It's not that Qin Fan deliberately looks down on the other party, it's just that he looks like he was scalded by sweet potatoes, can such a nerd pass the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty?

The imperial examination originated in the Han Dynasty, was established in the Tang Dynasty, perfected in the Song Dynasty, and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Compared with the mature system of later generations, today's imperial examinations are beginning to take shape.

Therefore, the difficulty of the selection of the imperial examination is also unprecedented.

There are more than a dozen subjects in the imperial examination, such as Xiucai, Ming Jing, Junshi, Jinshi, Ming Law, Ming Zi, and Ming Calculation.

The content of the exam is different for each subject.

For example, the "Ming Jing" examines various Confucian classics and practical strategies.

The strategy is also very crucial, after all, Li Er doesn't need a guy who only wants to study.

In the period of the empress, there was the rise of martial arts, which was mainly examined by the Ministry of War, and the subjects assessed were all kinds of mounted archery, weightlifting, wrestling, etc.

In addition, the empress also has requirements for the appearance of martial artists, and must have "a majestic torso that can be a general" before she can be selected.

can't help but sigh: Yan dogs are everywhere!

Having said that, Qin Fan obtained the silver taels of that Xiucai, so naturally he would not be out of the stall in the next few days.

And this also made a group of people wait.

"Brother Cui, are you sure you bought the roasted sweet potatoes the day before yesterday here?" Zhao Xiuzhu looked suspicious.

"It's here, why hasn't the boss seen anyone in the past two days!" Cui Yao had a confused expression.

"Xiuzhu, Brother Cui, don't look for it, it should be a one-shot deal!" Zheng Yuan shook the folding fan lightly and opened his mouth to persuade.

"Brother Zheng, how do you know, maybe it's just that Brother Cui has misremembered the location!" Zhao Xiuzhu remembered the taste of sweet potatoes and couldn't help licking the corners of his mouth.

"I asked the innkeeper yesterday that the sweet potato was introduced by the county order of Wannian County."

"Most of the farmers in Wannian County have received a certain amount of sweet potatoes, but they are potato seeds, and they have to be planted!"

"I think the man didn't want to plant, so he secretly roasted it and sold it here!"

Zheng Yuan reasoned.

"Brother Zheng, what you said is quite good, but have you noticed where is this?" Cui Yao said.

"Where is this? Isn't it just the streets!" Zheng Yuan didn't notice it yet.

Zhao Xiuzhu pointed to the house in front of several people, and read to the plaque on the top of the house:

"Wannian County County Ya!"

"Brother Zheng, you have said that the sweet potatoes are to be retained, if the sweet potato stall owner really steals and sells them, aren't you afraid of being arrested by the officials?"

When Zheng Yuan heard this, his old face turned red, but he didn't notice this, but at this time, he was not cowardly.

"Maybe that man was bold and lucky not to be discovered!"

Several people insisted on their own opinions, and in the end, Zhao Xiuzhu's views were recognized by the two brothers.

"In my opinion, the sweet potatoes introduced by the county order of Wannian County may come from this boss, so everything will be explained!"

"Yes, the sweet potatoes of the 10,000-year-old county order all come from this person, and he naturally can't stop people from doing business." Zheng Yuan echoed.

"In this way, the boss set up a stall at the entrance of the county government, and it can be explained. Because he's not afraid of being caught!" Cui Yao has a presence.
