"How? It is enough to increase productivity, develop the economy, and transfer contradictions," Li Anyi said casually.

"What is productivity? What is Economy? What is a transfer contradiction? ”

Seeing that the young scholar in front of him once again came out with unfamiliar words, the middle-aged man was no longer surprised.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the young scholar waved his hand a little impatiently, and said, "Forget it, forget it, don't talk about these useless things, I've just said enough."

Useless things? He even regarded the matter related to the entire society as useless?

The middle-aged man couldn't help but be stunned and smiled bitterly, but the second half of the young scholar's sentence was not wrong, the previous words were enough to make him ponder and ponder for a long time, and he hadn't really recovered from it for a while.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, don't talk about this."

The middle-aged man smiled and took the initiative to change the topic: "Xiaoyou, do you have any fame now?"

"Xiucai."

"Are you sure about next year's township test and general test?"

Li Anyi shook his head.

"Why? Didn't you review your homework? ”

The middle-aged man couldn't help but wonder, from the conversation with this young scholar just now, it was not difficult to see that this was a young man full of self-confidence, and he shouldn't have such a demeanor.

Li Anyi shook his head and said, "I won't participate in next year's township exam." ”

"Huh? Why? ”

The middle-aged man was even more puzzled: "Is there anything unspeakable in this?" Say it, maybe I can help you. ”

"No, thank you for your kindness."

Li Anyi shook his head again and explained: "I just don't want to participate in the imperial examination, there is no reason."

"Huh?"

The middle-aged man was full of astonishment, thinking of all kinds of answers, but he never thought that it would be such an answer, but he simply didn't want to participate in the imperial examination...... What a powerful reason.

"Why is that?" , the middle-aged man was puzzled.

The imperial examination is the most important thing for the world's scholars, and the purpose of studying hard for ten years, or even twenty or thirty years, is to shine in the imperial examination one day, and then step into the ranks of the nobles, which is the dream of students!

For this reason, even if they endure more hardship, or even let them put down their dignity, they are willing to do it.

Once a scholar gives up the imperial examination, in the eyes of the people of the world, this person has already begun to give up on himself, and he is a mess of mud that cannot support the wall, and is spurned by others.

This is the norm in a feudal society where everything is inferior, but the reading is high.

Why don't you want to participate in the imperial examination? I just don't want to participate, so why are there so many?

Li Anyi really wanted to reply to why you have so many whys, but when he thought of this, it sounded a little rushed, and it might cause the displeasure of the court official in front of him.

Don't look at it now, it's okay to talk to him now, but once you really upset him, you may turn your face and deny people, this is not alarmist, this is possible, the bigger the official's temper, the more likely it is...... The court officials can't afford to provoke themselves, and they can't be provoked......

"Uh...... The reason why I don't want to participate in the imperial examination is that I simply don't want to be an official, think about it, how tired you are to be an official, you have to please your bosses, you have to do a good job in the relationship between your subordinates, and you have to worry about national affairs all day long, or intrigue with each other, how tiring it is. ”

"And I'm different, I live more freely, I can do whatever I want, there are no constraints, of course, this is without violating laws and regulations, such as opening a small shop to earn some money, just enough, holding a bench in my spare time to bask in the warm sun, drinking hot tea, so comfortable, not running around for life, not worrying about the world......"

Li Anyi said a bunch of things freely, regardless of whether the majestic middle-aged man in front of him could listen to it or not.

The middle-aged man was dumbfounded, if these words came from the mouth of an old man with pale hair, he would not feel any surprise or strangeness, but it would be very strange when it came from the mouth of a young man full of vitality...... Shouldn't young people have the attitude that young people should have? Struggle, struggle, momentum......

At the same time, the middle-aged man was also attracted by the picture sketched by Li Anyi, and yearned for it, thinking about it like this, this kind of life seems to be not bad.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

After that, the two chatted a little more, and after about half an hour, after drinking the tea in the cup, Li Anyi got up and said goodbye.

It's just that he suddenly stopped as soon as he took two steps, turned around, scratched his head in the puzzled and puzzled eyes of the middle-aged man, and said a little embarrassedly: "Then may I ask, how to get out here?"

I chatted so much just now that I almost forgot the real purpose of taking the initiative to talk to a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at Li Anyi playfully for a while, and when Li Anyi was embarrassed, Fang said: "Keep walking along this path, and when you encounter an intersection, go to the left, and then go to the right."

"Thank you!"

Looking at the back of the young scholar who was gradually disappearing, the middle-aged man fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, something happened not far away, and two young people collided together, attracting the attention of the middle-aged man, who watched from afar.

"Lao Li, it turns out that you are here, I said, I didn't see you after looking for so many places, I thought you left!"

Regarding meeting Li Anyi here, Xiao Daoqi said that he was very surprised and surprised, and grabbed Li Anyi's shoulder.

Li Anyi slapped Xiao Daoqi's hand away in disgust, and then handed him a mirror wrapped in red cloth.

"What is this?" , Xiao Daoqi was curious, and his first reaction was to take it apart and take a look.

Fortunately, Li Anyi stopped him in time and explained: "This is not for you, this is my gift to Princess Jing."

When entering the Jingwang Mansion, that is, in front of the gate of the Jingwang Mansion, Li Anyi forgot to hand over the gift in his hand to the housekeeper of the Jingwang Mansion, so he kept it with him and had no chance to give it out, until Xiao Daoqi appeared in front of him at this moment.

……

"Father, what are you looking for me?"

Xiao Daoqi was a little dissatisfied with his father's sudden recruitment of himself.

Recently, he has done some interesting things, and Lao Li finally came to the Jingwang Mansion, and when he wanted to take Lao Li to see it and show it off to him, his father asked someone to recruit him.

If Li Anyi was here, he would definitely be frightened, because the one who was called his father by Xiao Daoqi was the middle-aged man who had a chat with him just now and was considered a big official!

The middle-aged man, no, it should be said that Emperor Qi didn't pay attention to Xiao Daoqi's dissatisfied tone, but asked, "Qi'er, who was the young man who was with you just now?"

"Old Libei, father, what are you asking for?" , Xiao Daoqi was puzzled.

"Lao Li?" , Emperor Qi was stunned, and he didn't react for a while.

Xiao Daoqi continued: "It's the Li Anyi I talked about last time. ”

"Li Anyi? Is he the Li Anyi you often mention? Emperor Qi was surprised.

"Yes, what's wrong with you, father?"

Xiao Daoqi felt very strange, today's father is always surprised, especially when Lao Li is mentioned.

Emperor Qi muttered to himself: "It turned out to be him, he didn't want to be an official, hehe, interesting, interesting......"
