Lu Qingxi thought it was delicious, so he rewarded the unfinished dishes to the guards beside him.

The guard tasted it, his expression distorted, this thing ...... Can you really eat it?

After sleeping at home for two nights, Li Qingzhi went to Chongwen Academy to study again.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he had been studying at Chongwen Academy for a month, and it was already mid-July, only a month before the college exam.

A lot has happened in this month.

For example, the Gou County Order received the holy decree sent by the capital and became the Tongzhi of Hexing Mansion, in addition, Chongcheng County and Linhu County were also arranged with new county orders.

Governor Zhang did recommend Gou County Ling to be the prefect, but Gou County Ling was only a fellow jinshi, and he had been a county magistrate in Chongcheng County for less than two years......

It is inappropriate to let Gou County Ling jump a few levels to become the prefect, and he should not even be made a fellow governor.

Fortunately, Lu Qingxi made some efforts.

After inquiring with Chang Duan about the situation of Gou County's order, the wooden shopkeeper told Lu Qingxi the story of "a thousand gold buys horse bones": "Chitose Lord, in the eyes of outsiders, Governor Zhang is your person, and the Gou County Commander is naturally also your person, if you can make Gou County's order promoted, the officials of the DPRK and China will definitely be happy to serve you!" ”

This is very reasonable, and Lu Qingxi listened to it.

As a result, Gou County's order was promoted to become a fellow intellectual.

Tongzhi is a subordinate of the prefect, but the emperor did not arrange a prefect for Hexing Mansion, but asked Gou County to order, no, Gou Tongzhi temporarily took the position of prefect!

In other words, although Gou Tongzhi is not a prefect, he has the same power as the prefect, and after he has been a co-governor for a few years, he can still be a prefect!

That's a great thing!

When Li Qing returned to Chongcheng County, he heard many people talking about it: "It's good that the county magistrate has been promoted!" ”

"Although I don't want the county to leave, but he will still be in Hexing Mansion in the future, and we will still be in charge of him, so it will be fine!"

"What a great year! My family made a lot of money by setting up a stall at the new wharf, and the grain tax was only collected so little, not even half of what it used to be. ”

"Many of the grain taxes we paid in the past were greedy!"

"Fortunately, Gou County Ling is a good official."

"I don't know if the new county order is as good as the Gou county order."

"If he is not good, we can go and sue and let Governor Zhang cut him!"

……

The people around him were very happy, and Li Qingzhi's mood unconsciously improved.

Recently, it has been really good things, such as the peppers that Zhao Laosan planted for him, most of them are alive and growing well.

Another example...... Because the grain tax can be paid a lot less, the people will have plenty of money, and the people will be willing to spend money after they have enough money, and the business of their embroidery workshop and Juewei Zhai will be better!

There is also the fact that Gou County ordered the promotion to become Gou Tongzhi.

This is a good thing for Li Qingzhi, and it is a great joy for Gou Tongzhi, he specially held a banquet and invited some people to his house for dinner, and Li Qingzhi was one of the people who received the invitation.

Gou Tongzhi invited Li Qingzhi's family, but Li Qingzhi planned to go alone.

If Jin Xiaoye went, it would probably be received by Mrs. Gou.

Mrs. Gou has received everyone's beautiful education since she was a child, so as not to embarrass people in public, but there is already a contradiction between the two, why bother to let Jin Xiaoye congratulate others?

After resting at home for an afternoon, in the evening, Li Qingzhi set off to Gou Tongzhi's house.

Gou Tongzhi's house is very lively, and the people with heads and faces in Chongcheng County are basically here, some of these people are really happy for Gou Tongzhi, but there are also some people who are very uncomfortable.

Because of Gou Tongzhi's various measures, they have lost a lot of benefits!

But Gou Tongzhi was promoted...... Even if these people are dissatisfied, their faces are more flattering than the other, and the good words are even more baskets of good words to Gou Tongzhi.

Gou Tongzhi listened very comfortably, but he also knew that these people were just talking...... Seeing Li Qingzhi, he immediately walked over and greeted Li Qingzhi.

"Zixiao, I'm glad I met you." Gou Tongzhi looked grateful.

If Li Qingzhi hadn't given him ideas, he wouldn't have become a Tongzhi in such a short period of time.

There are many people who have been admitted to the Jinshi with him, and he is the fastest to be promoted!

"It was your dedication to the well-being of the people that you were rewarded by Your Majesty." Li Qing said with a smile.

The people who came to the banquet today were all from Chongcheng County, and there was no need to worry too much about it, so he pulled Li Qingzhi and said a lot of words, and said: "Zixiao, you come to my house tomorrow, and we will talk about it then!" ”

Li Qingzhi agreed.

Gou Tongzhi asked Li Qingzhi to sit at a table with him.

He was going to toast, and Li Qingzhi ate leisurely.

"Brother Li, why don't you go and toast?" Gou Ying asked.

"I don't like it."

"Aren't there a lot of things you have to do even if you don't like them?" Gou Ying sighed.

"What are you sighing at such a young age?" Li Qing asked him.

Gou Ying said: "Brother Li, I don't want to go to Fucheng, my friends are here, and Mr. Li is very good, I want to study with him." ”

Li Qing insisted on understanding Gou Ying.

It had not been long since the child came to Chongcheng County because of his father's "job transfer" and "school transfer", but his father's "job transfer" was "transferred" and he was going to a brand new city...... He was certainly not happy.

If Gou Ying was older, he suggested that Gou Ying stay in Chongcheng County to study alone, but Gou Ying was still a little young.

Li Qing insisted: "The Chongwen Academy in Fucheng is not bad, I am studying in the Chongwen Academy now, I will help you choose a suitable gentleman, you go to Chongwen Academy to study?" ”

Gou Ying asked, "I heard that Chongwen Academy is difficult to enter, can I enter?" ”

"Absolutely." Li Qing insisted. Chongwen Academy is indeed not so easy to enter, but Tongzhi's son can't get in.

This is a feudal society!

If nothing else, Gou Ying entered Chongwen Academy, and he will still be held.

However, Gou Ying is in a rebellious period and is not close to his parents, such a child is very prone to problems, and he must find a better husband.

"Zixiao, what are you talking about?" Gou Tongzhi came back and asked curiously.

His son didn't know what was going on, and he didn't talk to his father well, but he was very close to Li Qingzhi.

Li Qing insisted: "My lord, we are talking about Chongwen Academy. ”

"It's good to talk about this, I plan to wait until I go to Fucheng, and let A-Ying go to Chongwen Academy to study......" Gou Tongzhi asked about the situation of Chongwen Academy.

Li Qingzhi said everything he knew, and recommended a gentleman to Gou Tongzhi.

Gou Tongzhi wrote down the name of the gentleman and asked, "Zixiao, I plan to go to Fucheng to take office the day after tomorrow, do you want to come with me?" ”

Li Qing thought about it and refused, Jin Xiaoshu was going to Fucheng to deliver the goods anyway, so it was better to let Jin Xiaoshu send him.

And if you follow Gou Tongzhi, there is a high probability that you will set off very late, and you may have to delay for a whole day, but it will be different if you follow Jin Xiaoshu. According to modern time, Jin Xiaoshu set off at four or five o'clock in the morning, rowed at the fastest speed all the way, and arrived at Fucheng at about eight o'clock!

If you don't send him, Jin Xiaoshu will immediately row back, and he will be able to return to Chongcheng County at eleven o'clock at noon, and he will be in time to make a cold dish for Fang Jinniang.

Of course, if you want to send him, Jin Xiaoshu will not come back so quickly, and he will mix the dishes before leaving in the morning.

Li Qingzhi refused to go to Fucheng with Gou Tongzhi, but the next day, he went to Gou Tongzhi and talked to Gou Tongzhi.

In fact, there is nothing to say, the main thing is that Gou Tongzhi asked him how to manage Hexing Mansion better.

In the past month, Li Qingzhi and Governor Zhang have passed several letters, and they have a better understanding of things in the officialdom, and they can just give Gou Tongzhi some suggestions.

When Li Qingzhi was chatting with Gou County, in the provincial capital, a new issue of "Anjiang Anthology" had been released.

July is still hot, but that doesn't stop the enthusiasm of readers in the provincial capital to buy the Anjiang Anthology.

Approaching the college exam, more and more readers gather in the provincial capital, these people may not be able to buy and see the "Anjiang Anthology" on weekdays, and now that they are in the provincial capital, they must buy a copy!

Early in the morning, before the bookstore under the name of Anjiang Academy opened, there were already people queuing, and as soon as the door opened, these people immediately took the silver or copper coins in their hands to buy books: "I want four copies of "Anjiang Anthology"! ”

"I want five."

"I want ten!"

……

These people who come to buy books basically have to help others bring them, and they buy a lot of them.

The people at the back of the line were worried: "Don't buy so much, leave some for us." ”

What would they do if the people in front of them had finished buying the book?

Fortunately, the shopkeeper of the bookstore gave everyone a reassurance: "Rest assured, this month's "Anjiang Anthology" has been printed more, and everyone can buy it!" ”

Before and after each college examination, the "Anjiang Anthology" sold very well, and the academy had experience, so it would print more books.

While speaking, someone had already bought the "Anjiang Anthology", and he came outside and couldn't wait to look at it.

The articles published in "Anjiang Anthology" are all articles by celebrities, and this time is no exception.

But he also saw a completely unfamiliar name.

Li Zixiao of Hexing Mansion? Who's this?

A student from Hexing Mansion had also opened the book and also saw the name: "Li Zixiao? Could it be the Li Zixiao I know? ”

Someone asked him: "Do you know Li Zixiao, who is he?" ”

The man said: "In this year's government test, the head of the case in Hexing Mansion is surnamed Li, and the word is Zixiao." ”

"What? Case first? A person who has not yet been admitted to Xiucai, and his article is on the "Anjiang Anthology"? ”

"Really? This Li Zixiao has not been admitted to Xiucai? ”

"I'll take a look at his article!"

"This article looks good......"

……

During this time, there were really many people reading in the provincial capital.

Old and young, a large group of people rushed to Fucheng to participate in the hospital examination.

But few of these people dare to send articles to Anjiang Academy.

They knew their level and knew that the Anjiang Anthology would definitely not publish their articles.
