Standing on the tuyere all the time, he is under a lot of pressure.

Seeing this, Meng Yue and Xu Ying glanced at each other and could only smile bitterly.

Li Qiao only told Tao Zhu about the policy article this time, and even Mr. Huang didn't tell him.

If the prefect did not point out Li Qiao as the head of the case, then what Li Qiao wrote this time, only Li Qiao Taozhu and the prefect know.

Not far away, some candidates couldn't help but mutter.

"It can't be a scribble, so I'm embarrassed to tell everyone at this time, right?"

Li Qiao obviously wanted to fly, and those candidates who were not convinced by him when they saw him unpleasantly no longer dared to beep as loudly as before the exam, and did not dare to be wanton yin and yang.

They can only guess in whispers.

"Eighty percent is like this, otherwise, how can you not dare to tell everyone?"

"Hey, in that case, is it possible that the prefect will not point him to the head of the case?" Some people have hope and want to take the position of the head of the case.

"As long as it's not too badly written, the prefect will definitely point him to the head of the case, after all, the saint is carrying him. However, if it was really written ordinary, the prefect would definitely not post his article. ”

"Tsk, how can this work, all the candidates are waiting to see his masterpiece!"

"Then I'll see the opportunity later, if he is really the head of the case and the prefect hasn't posted his article, then let's create public opinion together."

Someone made a plan.

It's a big deal to repeat the set of rumors in Pingcheng.

Even if it is forced, it is necessary to force Li Qiao's policy article out this time.

……

In the anticipation of everyone, at nine o'clock, several officials of the government finally came.

Unlike the county exam, because there are more candidates participating in the prefectural exam, only a yellow list is announced.

Those who are on the yellow list have passed the government test.

If you don't make the list, you haven't passed.

The scholars, who were close to the officials, looked hard at the tray in the hands of the officials, wondering how many pieces of paper were placed on it.

It's a pity that the yellow list is so big that it covers the entire tray, and you can't see the situation under the yellow list at all.

It's a real rush!

Li Qiao didn't squeeze forward, anyway, he would definitely be able to pass this government test.

Meng Yue, Xu Ying, and the Xu family all squeezed forward, and the two of them were not sure that they would be able to get through, so they were very nervous at this moment.

Several officials divided labor and cooperated, banged gongs, set off firecrackers, and after the atmosphere was lively, one of the officials began to paint paste on the wall outside the examination booth, preparing to post the yellow list.

The characters on the yellow list are relatively large, and there are many names this time, so the yellow list is more than one meter long, and two officials have to stick it on the wall together.

But as the yellow list left the tray, the paper pressed under the yellow list was exposed to the eyes of the candidates crowded in front.

There are things pressed under the yellow list!

"Look, it's definitely Li Qiao's test paper!"

"It seems that Li Qiao is the head of the case this time!"

"The prefect is really sweet!"

"I don't know if Li Qiao's article can convince the public this time!"

……

For a while, more than half of the people went to look at the tray, instead of looking at the yellow list in the hands of the officials.

On the yellow list, the order of names is from left to right, and the first place in the upper left corner is the head of the case.

Anyway, everyone already knew that Li Qiao was the head of the case, so the official who posted the yellow list didn't sell it, and simply pasted the yellow list on the paste, and then wiped it with his hands to make the yellow list more reliable.

After posting, several officials did not pay attention to many candidates, but continued to brush paste next to the yellow list.

When several officials were busy, under the yellow list next to them, many candidates first looked at the position in the upper left corner.

Seeing that it was written there that it was written Pingcheng Li Qiao, number one hundred and seventy-eight, they turned their eyes to look for their own names.

Soon, polarized.

Those on the list, ecstatic.

Those who fall off the list will wail in pain.

But regardless of whether they were happy or wailing, these people were worried about Li Qiao's article in their hearts, so they quickly squeezed towards Li Qiao's article.

Li Qiao's words, as always, are unremarkable, if you really want to talk about the merits, that is, horizontal and vertical, stroke by stroke clearly written.

As for Li Qiao's article.

"Huh......"

"This ......"

"Huh!"

Shameless!

The reactions of these candidates were mixed.

has a good impression of Li Qiao, when he saw the first paragraph, although he was surprised, he read it patiently.

The prefect pointed Li Qiao as the head of the case and dared to post the article, which shows that this article must be outstanding, and it is another model article, and they have to study it carefully.

And those who were hostile and malicious to Li Qiao were sneering on their faces at this time, and they were scolding shamelessly in their hearts.

They had never seen such a brazen person!

Look at what this is all about, and at the beginning of the article, he said that in his personal opinion, if you want to make farmers rich, then you must have a parent official who is honest and honest, loves the people like a son, and can have both.

Listen, listen!

This is a serious and serious place for the imperial court to select talents, but now it has become a way for Li Qiao to climb up, shameless, shameless!

Looking further down, it was Li Qiao who took him as an example and wrote in detail about his mental journey for more than a year.

When he first knew that he could personally earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, he was not ecstatic, but panicked, and he thought a lot in his mind, just thinking about spending this hot silver tael.

But who knew that Jiang Zhixian let him hold it with peace of mind, and every sum of money was settled with him clearly, and he was not missing a penny.

For the workers working in the sweet potato workshop, Jiangzhi County is also the same, although the sweet potato workshop is strict, but the settlement of wages is also clear with the workers, there is no shortage of workers a penny.

In this case, every worker is riveting, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and what he thinks about every day is to do more and do more.

It is precisely because of the clear accounts of Jiangzhi County that the workers will be so active and at ease, and they will have a good day of earning dozens of taels of silver in winter.

In addition, looking at the sweet potato madness in Pingcheng, if Jiangzhi County is a corpse vegetarian person, there will be no good life for farmers at this time.

Jiangzhi County counted the number of acres of sweet potatoes planted in the county in advance, and knew that the county had planted 300,000 acres of sweet potatoes, so he built a sweet potato workshop in advance, selected workers in advance, and waited for the sweet potatoes to mature, and the workers entered the workshop and began to produce vermicelli in an intense and orderly manner.

If there was no Jiangzhi County's overall planning, then Li Qiao didn't dare to imagine what would happen.

Pingcheng has a total of 400,000 acres of cultivated land, of which 300,000 acres are planted with sweet potatoes, and sweet potatoes can not be stored for a long time.

In short, if there is no Jiangzhi County, there will be no today's win-win situation, and there will be no prosperity of Li Qiao itself and the prosperity of farmers.

So, sitting in the examination room, Li Qiao looked at the topic this time, although he had a lot of thoughts, but in the end he chose to write about his parents.

Just imagine, if after he made the noodles, Jiang Zhixian took the recipe for himself, then what would happen?

The above is all the content of Li Qiao's article. First, he gave his own conclusions, took his own experience as an example, and finally asked a rhetorical question.

Those candidates who had good intentions towards Li Qiao stared at the last question and were silent.

The examinee who had malicious intentions towards Li Qiao and was still scolding Li Qiao for being shameless in his heart just now, stared at the last question, and temporarily pressed back the feelings of contempt, envy, and jealousy in his heart.

There was silence too.

Yes, if Jiang Zhixian is a corrupt official and directly robs Li Qiao's recipe, not only will there be no today's crazy sweet potato farmer Mai Xiaokang, but it will also discourage the enthusiasm of ordinary people for invention and creation.

If that's the case, what farmer would dare to come up with a novel idea?

Therefore, although Li Qiao's article is mediocre, it points out a fact that no one can deny.

The farmers of Pingcheng can have today, thanks to Jiangzhi County.

If a farmer wants to get rich, he must have a parent official who is not greedy and can preside over the overall situation.

And their articles are all related to the Four Books and Five Classics, and talk about the importance and significance of people's wealth. Even if a few people racked their brains and came up with some small ideas to make money, it didn't jump out of this range.

Only Li Qiao, he started from the perspective of his parents, his language was simple and unpretentious, every sentence was plattering, but he was also honest.

Therefore, the prefect pointed Li Qiao as the head of the case, and no one could make a mistake.

The angle is novel.

And it's a big truth that has been demonstrated.

If they are critics, when they see such an article, they are afraid that their mouths will be crooked, and they will definitely point Li Qiao as the head of the case without hesitation.

……

All the candidates looked at Li Qiao with mixed feelings.

Even the examinees who had good intentions towards him felt like they had knocked over the five-flavor bottle at this time.

Not only does he have the double protection of the saint's imperial pen plaque and small composition, but he also earns tens of thousands of taels of silver every year!

In front of this kind of winner in life, it is really difficult to be calm!

And those candidates who were unhappy with Li Qiao were also secretly grinding their teeth at this time, saying that he was flattering and shameless, but every sentence was the truth.

Moreover, he really earns tens of thousands of taels of silver a year!

I really want to scold, a winner in life or something, it's so annoying.

Meng Yue and Xu Ying squeezed out of the crowd and came to Li Qiao, Meng Yue patted Li Qiao on the shoulder: "Brother Li, admire, admire the five bodies." ”

Xu Ying also said: "Convincing." Everyone else is empty talk, only you are using the facts to summarize the key points, and you can't accept it. ”

Li Qian was embarrassed: "...... Actually, I'm taking a shortcut. ”

Although it is written in his heart, it is suspected of slapping a horse.
