And so, a strategy essay came out.

Compared with other candidates, he took one step more, so he failed the list six times, and this time he was not only admitted, but also ranked first.

"That's the subject."

Li Qiao was surprised and sighed: "That's really a coincidence." ”

It was he who got it right and guessed the idea of the current Shengshang.

Others say that the sacred heart is unpredictable, but looking at the meaning of the saint, it is clear that people deliberately guess it.

"So, brother, it's really all your credit that I was able to pass the Xiucai exam this time!"

"No, no, no, if it weren't for Brother Wen, your previous thirty years of hard study, how could you be at this time. You can be admitted to Xiucai, it depends on yourself. ”

"If I was useful on my own, would I have been able to fall off the list six times before? The seventh time I was able to pass the exam, it is indeed your credit! ”

Zhuang Wen insisted on this.

The other Zhuang family members also nodded, especially Zhuang Wu and Zhuang Quan, their uncle and nephew had listened to Zhuang Wen countless times in the past few days.

So at this time, they opened their mouths and asked Li Qiao to recognize the credit.

In addition, they also asked Li Qiao to make a price, they had to buy the recipe of five-grain soy milk and egg scones, and they couldn't take advantage of Li Qiao.

Li Qiao couldn't get rid of it, so he could only ask Zhuang Wen: "Brother Wen, are you making money doing business with these two snacks now?" ”

"Not yet." Zhuang Wen shook his head.

"Then if you become an official in the future, will you make money with these two snacks?" Li Qiao continued to ask.

"Ahem, I've just been admitted to Xiucai now, and I'm far away from being an official, and my eight achievements in my life have stopped at Xiucai. But if I can really become a petty official one day, I will definitely use these two kinds of food to make money, so as to save money, food and materials. ”

Li Qiao couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Isn't this it, even if you use these two things to eat and earn money in the future, you also have to reserve food, money and materials, and the money you earn is not into your private money bag, you are busy working for the people, so you don't have to give me the money for this recipe." ”

"Uh......" Zhuang Wen frowned, what he said really made sense: "But I can't let you suffer." ”

"I didn't suffer." Li Qiao shook her head: "Brother Wen, you have also given me a lot of help during this time, if I am admitted to Xiucai in the future, it will definitely be your credit." ”

"So, since we're helping each other, there's no need to mention any money."

Zhuang Wen: "......"

He was about to be convinced.

At this time, Zhuang Fengshou on the side said: "Li Qiao, the help you gave to Xiaowen is unique. But what Xiaowen gives you is something that any master can give. The two are not the same. ”

"It's all genuine help, and it seems to me the same."

Li Qiao raised her glass as she spoke: "On the day of the big day, let's not talk about this, come on, come on, drink, and celebrate Brother Wen." ”

Zhuang family: "......"

So, after some pushing, the Zhuang family was finally defeated.

Zhuang Wen could only say: "If you don't understand anything in the future, just come to me." ”

"If Brother Wen is here, then I will often disturb it in the future."

Li Qian responded unceremoniously.

After 30 years of hard work, Zhuang Wen's basic skills are extremely solid, and what he needs most is this kind of master.

In the past six months, he has read "Historical Records" and "Hanshu", read them sentence by sentence according to the relevant annotations, and gnawed two tomes in a row, and he was a little dizzy.

He's sitting in his study right now, and he's spent a third of his time working on abilities......

Thanks to his unremitting efforts, although he was stunned, his ability broke through to level 2 a few days ago.

It's also a reward.

Therefore, what he said to help each other just now was sincere, and now he needs the Master to explain it to him first, so that he can find the joy of learning again.

Zhuang Wen is very suitable for this role.

Zhuang Wen has read books for 30 years, not only the four books and five classics and the three histories and three biographies, but also other books.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Zhuang Wen with five cars of learning.

When Zhuang Wen discussed knowledge with him, he could casually tell some related things. Whether these events are interesting or uninteresting, they are much better than his dry and painstaking reading.

Moreover, Zhuang Wen does not drop his bookbag when he speaks, takes care of his thin foundation, and explains in the most understandable language when quoting scriptures.

Zhuang Wen did solve a lot of his doubts and gave him a lot of help, and he would really trouble Zhuang Wen often in the future.

Coming out of the dealer's house, it was already evening.

It was a lively time in the village, and the people who were working in the fields returned home, and everyone saw Li Qiao and Tao Zhu and greeted each other.

Someone else stuffed green ears of wheat into their hands: "This one is roasted on the fire, but it is delicious." ”

In the past, the people of Sanliu Village would not do such extravagant things.

Wheat is precious, and how can you pluck the ears of wheat before it is fully ripe, isn't it a proper loser?

But now, last winter, I did a lot of tickets, and the wages of each sweet potato + sweet potato workshop in each household earned at least more than 20 taels of silver.

At the craziest time, the sweet potato workshop can make 1,500 catties of vermicelli a day, Li Qiao accounts for 20% of the people, and everyone can get 100 yuan a day!

Last winter's vote directly earned back the money of every household in the next one or two decades, plus it can continue to earn this winter, so the big guy is naturally willing to be extravagant.

For example, this kind of wheat ears are still green after filling, and when they are roasted, they have a strong wheat aroma, and they are very strong, and the taste is very good.

Li Qiao took the ear of wheat and thanked him with a smile.

The villagers didn't give much, so he took it.

Back home, Li Chuntao was cooking dinner.

Originally, they were tired of eating egg scones, but today's egg scones have made a small contribution in Zhuang Wen's college exam, so let's eat egg scones tonight!

Of course, the ears of wheat given by the villagers are also going to be roasted, and Li Qiao wants to eat the roasted ears of wheat so she took them.

At the dinner table, Li Dashan said while nibbling on egg scones: "Uncle, I found that the examination of Xiucai is quite useful, or you can pick one of our children and see who can take the imperial examination." ”

It's good to take the test.

Not only can the fields allocated by the imperial court be exempted from taxes, but also exempted from forced labor, and there is no need to kneel when you see the county lord.

Moreover, after becoming a Xiucai, he is no longer a mud leg in the land, and he can open a private school to earn money.

"Didn't you say you wanted your children to read?" Li Qian asked him.

"I haven't gotten married yet, and my children are gone."

Li Dashan shook his head: "Doesn't our family have a lot of children now?" ”

"Then who do you think can calm down and study." Li Qiao continued to ask him.

"This ......"

Li Dashan paused.

Ershan and Xiaoshan are indeed not reading materials, he has been teaching for more than half a year, and it turns out that these two people know less than forty words at present.

These two people together, they haven't been able to leave eighty yuan for his uncle!

The girl and the little brother can't take the imperial examination, and the rest is Li Dong of his uncle's family.

Li Dong is a little stronger than Ershan and Xiaoshan, but he is also a naughty child, not like he can calm down and read.

As for the children of Li Dazhong's Li Dacheng family, they are too young now.

Well, the family has been lively all day long, but now when I look carefully, I can't find anyone who can take the imperial examination.

It would be nice if the little brother could take the imperial examination, Li Xia and Li Yu'an are both quiet and can sit still.

I followed him for half a year, one of them knew more than 200 words, and the other knew more than 100 words, and when he and Li Chuntao were too busy, Li Yu'an could help him keep accounts.

It's a pity that in Dasheng, the little brother can't participate in the imperial examination.

He frowned: "Could it be that this burden really has to fall on me and Brother Qian'er?" ”

"You marry Brother Qian'er back first." Li Qiao glared at him: "Don't say this kind of thing casually, it will ruin Brother Qian'er's reputation." ”

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Li Dashan immediately slapped his mouth.

Alas.

Brother Qian'er is really hard to chase.

He buys things, but Brother Shallow doesn't accept them.

He is usually busy making snacks, and he doesn't have time to follow around behind his ass all the time.

However, he made Brother Asa angry twice, and it was all from his mouth, huh...... In the future, he will talk less in front of Brother Qian'er, if he has to speak, then he must cooperate with sweet words, and he must avoid all kinds of thunder points mentioned in his uncle's strategy.

Li Dashan's mind was on Zheng Qianqian, so the mention of the imperial examination was just a smooth mouth, but the other people in the village looked at the Zhuang family's jubilant appearance, and then looked at their current family background, and their hearts were ready to move.

In the past, Zhuang Wen failed to be admitted to Xiucai for 30 years, and the villagers of Sanliu Village generally thought that Xiucai was difficult to test, which was much more difficult than planting crops.

In addition, there is a negative example of the original body, who was very smart when he was a child, but he didn't study well in the county seat for a long time.

In addition, the family has no money and cannot afford to read, so the villagers in Sanliu Village did not have any ideas about reading in the past.

But now, they have an idea.

Xiucai's privileges can't be compared with the old man, but if you compare it with ordinary people, it's still very eye-catching.

Why don't you try it?

Even if you can't pass the show, it's good to be able to recognize a few words.

I don't look at how strong the learning atmosphere of Li Qiao's family is, the Li family doesn't expect those children to take the imperial examination, just to be blind, just to help Li Qiao in business.

If their baby is also literate, then when Li Qiao's family recruits people again in the future, they will definitely give priority to their baby.

If you really can't do it, you can also go to the county seat to find a job.

But there is no private school in Sanliu Village, not only in Shili and Eight Villages, but also in the town.

The nearest private school is in the county seat.

If you study in the county, the cost will be large, and it is easy to learn badly, and the former Li Qiao was abolished in this way.

So, after the whole village was invited to a banquet at the Zhuang family, they found Zhuang Fengshou and asked him if he could find a Xiucai to open a private school in the village.
