Zhu Biao asked Zhu Bai: "What's wrong?" Didn't the twelfth brother also dislike Li Shanchang, now that he has returned to his hometown, he can no longer harm the court, why are you unhappy? ”

Zhu Bai smiled: "Happy." Glad. ”

In fact, whether Li Shanchang can leave or not has little to do with him.

Because even if Li Shanchang is here, he can't stop him.

However, Hu Weiyong has now lost the constraint and balance of Li Shanchang, which may not be a good thing.

If Wang Guangyang is really so powerful, how can the Guangdong Political Secretary become like that?

It is clear that he is not Hu Weiyong's opponent.

An old fox like Lao Zhu can't see it?

Moreover, Wang Guangyang was born as a jinshi in the previous dynasty, and he was erudite and knowledgeable, so it is not surprising that he was appointed as the chief examiner.

Hu Weiyong came up by bribery, and Lao Zhu even let him be the chief examiner of the exam, which is a bit "doting".

So if it's not Lao Zhu who is confused, he is in the next bigger game of chess.

No matter what, it is important for him to make money with peace of mind.

Zhu Bai made up his mind and threw his hand at Zhu Biao: "Big brother, I'm going to inspect the Guanya Bureau and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses." ”

He went to the Guanya Bureau to take a look, and after dealing with some things, he changed two more books on the table as usual, and went to Xie Cheng to learn kung fu.

Xie Cheng wanted to speak again today.

Zhu Bai said: "Master will say anything directly. ”

Xie Cheng sighed: "I heard that Princess Jin wrote back to say that King Jin has been a little too presumptuous recently. She couldn't persuade her, and she was very worried. Wechen wanted to ask His Highness to help persuade him. ”

Zhu Li said that the food there was not to the taste.

Lao Zhu transferred his most trusted cook to Zhu Li.

Zhu Li beat and scolded the cook at every turn, flipped the table and smashed the bowl.

If this matter reaches Lao Zhu's ears, it will be troublesome.

Zhu Li was punished, and Princess Xie would definitely not have good fruits to eat.

I can't tell Lao Zhu about this.

Zhu Bai said: "I'll tell my eldest brother to let my eldest brother persuade him." The third brother listens to my eldest brother. ”

In fact, Zhu Bai also heard a little about Zhu Li's behavior. Zhu Li was just dissatisfied with Lao Zhu's indifference to Concubine Li Shu. Knowing that Concubine Li Shu was bullied by the palace people, he was worried and angry, and he had nowhere to vent, so he couldn't tell Lao Zhu, so he could only beat Lao Zhu's favorite cook to vent.

Now that Concubine Li Shu is back in power, Zhu Li will naturally not be angry.

Xie Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Highness." It would be better if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was willing to help persuade him. ”

Zhu Bai smiled: "For small things, Master doesn't have to be polite. ”

Xie Cheng: "If one day, the King of Jin makes a mistake and makes the emperor unhappy, I ask His Royal Highness to help the King of Jin intercede for the sake of our master and apprentice." The emperor can only listen to the words of the crown prince and the king of Xiang now. ”

Zhu Bai nodded: "Yes, I will do if the master doesn't explain it." That's my third brother too. ”

Xie Cheng hurriedly saluted again: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Zhu Bai said, "Master has a lot of salutes today. ”

Xie Cheng nodded: "Okay, okay, I won't be polite to His Highness, let's continue to practice martial arts." ”

-----

The paper was corrected in three or five days, and then Chen Nanbin submitted the top 20 answer sheets of the Tianfu Township Examination to Lao Zhu for review.

After Lao Zhu got it, he looked at each one carefully, and asked Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai to come and see it.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai saw that Ouyang Lun had won the second place, and exchanged thoughtful looks.

Although they didn't like this person, they couldn't interfere with the decision of the township examiner because of their personal preferences.

In this way, it is contrary to the justice and fairness of the township test.

And they compared the test papers, and Ouyang Lun deserved to be second.

Next, there will be an examination, a palace examination.

If Ouyang Lun can go all the way to the end, they will also be convinced, and they will not need him in the future.

Lao Zhu was not satisfied with these things, and asked the other thirteen secretaries to deliver their top 20 answer sheets to him by the official tooth bureau.

The number of people to be raised by the various secretaries of the government is different, and Lao Zhu has already discussed it with the Ministry of Officials and Rites according to the population, property, and financial endowment of a province. Localities cannot arbitrarily increase or subtract. There are more than 100 political secretaries in large and small and medium-sized provinces, and there are also 70 or 80 or 40 or 50 secretaries in the middle and small administrations.

Then the people who were far away from Yingtian began to rush to Yingtian to participate in the examination held in early March, also called "Chunqiu".

Zhu Bai asked people to arrange the idle row buildings under his name, which were distributed all over the city, and bought beds and desks, and prepared to accommodate the candidates who took the examination.

It is called "Ying Tian Ju Ren Inn No. 1", "Ying Tian Ju Ren Inn No. 2" and so on.

At this time, everyone understood that he would accept it when he saw the small building and the townhouse when he saw it, so he was planning to do this.

People have to show their transcripts before they can move in.

Zhu Bai also has a compiled list of people from all over the country, so it is impossible for anyone to cheat.

And the room you stay in is not based on who pays more, but on the results.

The top 10 of the declared political secretary can live in the top floor of the sky number room, the eleventh to the twentieth place house on the top floor, and so on.

Inn No. 1 is full to Inn No. 2, and there are all over the city anyway.

In fact, the layout of the various room types is similar, except for the difference between a double room and a single room. Except for the different charges for single and double rooms, everything else is the same.

It's really that the family is poor and can't afford the house, and it can be reduced or reduced.

It is a reward for outstanding students.

Originally, the family was in Yingtian or had relatives who took refuge in it, and they all came to the inn, after all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime glory.

And everyone is a person, with similar knowledge, and most of them are about the same age, so they can get together to talk about life, drink and compose poems, which is very happy.

In order to meet everyone's needs, Zhu Bai also set up stone tables and chairs in the courtyard surrounded by row buildings to facilitate people's gatherings.

In this way, where are there people who are willing to go to other inns to live.

The shopkeepers of the other inns hated it, but they couldn't help it.

Li Dacai also opened an inn, originally thought that he could make a good profit when he was going to try, but he didn't expect Zhu Bai to leave them even soup residue.

Li Dacai's wife sighed: "Fortunately, this 'little Yama' only does the business of lifting people, if it is stipulated that the guests of the Guanya Bureau must also live in his inn, how can there be any way to live." ”

Li Dacai's hair stood up: "Phew, crow's mouth, don't talk nonsense." ”

And that's not all.

Each first-level official dental bureau posted an announcement, announcing that from the end of September to September next year, it will undertake unlimited work to escort candidates to and from Yingtian.

Charges are based on distance.

For example, Yunnan, Guichuan and other places in the southwest to Yingtian, one-way fee per person is ten taels, round-trip fee is sixteen taels of silver, take a carriage to take the official road or the canal, and live at the official tooth bureau post station along the way, and the meal expenses are at your own expense.

Line up to get on the bus and set off according to the payment fee.

The Chinese New Year is from the beginning of the year to the fifteenth day of the break, no departure, other times a day.
