Meng Yue: "......"

The smile on his face froze.

Xu Ying on the side sighed and said: "I am also worried, Brother Meng, tomorrow's strategy topic is definitely more difficult." ”

Meng Yue: "......"

He couldn't laugh anymore.

"Do your best, resign yourself to fate, anyway, everyone does their best on weekdays."

Li Qiao comforted Meng Yue.

"Yes, I tried my best anyway, and I'll come back in three years." Meng Yue frowned, this time it was not in vain, not only saw the bustle and prosperity of Shengjing, but also accumulated experience.

Meng Yue adjusted her mentality, and when she went back, the sadness on her face had disappeared, anyway, she had to take the last exam tomorrow, so she didn't want to!

Meng Yue and Xu Ying left, Tao Zhu looked at Li Qiao, a little worried: "Will tomorrow's strategy topic be one hundred and eighty layers of hell?" ”

Li Qiao was happy, raised his hand to rub the pimple on his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, but it's a big deal that we will come back in three years." ”

Tao Zhu: "......"

He couldn't laugh.

Li Qiao and Meng Yue are different, Li Qiao touched porcelain with one sentence, offended all the candidates of this year, and the other candidates are waiting to see Li Qiao's jokes, in this case, Li Qiao can't really become a joke......

Li Qiao is so weekdays!

"Let's go for dinner, let's make dinner, rest early after cooking, and we have to get up early tomorrow."

Li Qiao was also a little uncertain in his heart, but he didn't want Tao Zhu to worry, so he could only pull Tao Zhu to do other things to divert his attention.

Tao Zhu couldn't understand Li Qiao's thoughts, and after dinner, the two washed and slept.

Before going to bed, he kissed first, and when the kiss was over, he lay in Li Qiao's arms, his ears were close to Li Qiao's heart, and said with a serious face: "This year's candidates, no one is qualified to laugh at you, if someone laughs at you, let's quarrel with him, we will definitely win." ”

"Huh?" Li Qiao was amused by his words, and raised her hand to stroke his hair: "What do you say?" ”

"These questions from the saint, it seems that they are nothing more than for the people to be prosperous, you have already handed over the answer sheet of Hexi Mansion with practical actions, do other candidates have similar answer sheets?"

"If not, then who are they to laugh at you?"

Li Qiao: "......"

He froze.

"Besides, we are from a small place, and we are still young, in terms of vision, experience, and heritage, we can't compare to others."

"It's not fair to you to sit in the same exam room as them, and if they beat you, it's right. has the ability to let them also be born in a small mountain village, and then clear all the way to Shengjing in just five years. ”

Tao Zhu pursed his lips as he spoke.

In the past few days, he has heard a lot of cynicism outside the court, if he is not afraid of affecting Li Qiao's exam, he will definitely quarrel with those people.

"It is worthy of my bamboo brother, who is dedicated to me." Li Qiao's heart was hotter than the kang under him at this time, and he patted Tao Zhu's back: "If other people really laugh at me, then let's quarrel with them like this." ”

"Look up and let me kiss you."

When Tao Zhu heard this, he hummed heavily, he had already thought of the wording, he was not afraid of anyone!

He arched upwards and looked up to find Li Qiao's lips.

I want to kiss for a while, and wait for tomorrow morning, I have to separate from Li Qiao again.

The next day, the weather was clear, and you could still see the stars in the sky when you went to Gongyuan.

Li Qiao, like the previous two games, searched his body, went to his own house, and then waited for the test papers to be issued.

In the evening, the soldiers who distributed the test papers finally came, Li Qiao took the test papers, took a deep breath, and then went to look at the words on the test papers.

Today's session is only about strategy.

The topic is from a short essay that was freshly written last month.

On the sixth day of the first month of last month, Sheng Shangxin wrote a small composition, lamenting that it was not easy to govern the country, and the taxes collected every year had not yet been sent to Shengjing, so he arranged where to spend them.

wrote such a small essay on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone was speculating at that time whether the saint was in a bad mood.

But there was no other news in the palace, so many people, including Li Qiao himself, didn't take this little essay seriously.

Because this little essay has no substantive content, I heard that it was written by Shengshang at night, so Li Qiao felt that Shengshang was emo in the middle of the night, so he wrote a pure nonsense article.

But I never expected that the topic of this exam would come from this small essay!

Li Qiao's ears are good, he heard a lot of gasping, grinding teeth, patting wooden boards and other sounds, obviously, everyone was shocked by today's topic.

Because it's really ...... Shameless.

In the past, on the topics of the canal and the Yellow River, the saint used the imperial examination to solicit good ideas from scholars all over the world, which is understandable, because whether it is the canal or the Yellow River, it is related to the fate of hundreds of people, and it is a major event that will affect future generations.

But today's topic is how to enrich the treasury!

This is reaching out to the world to ask for money, right?

In the examination room, he raised his son to ask the world for money, and the saint really did it!

However, this topic is from the saint, sitting in the tribute courtyard of Shengjing, who dares to scold the saint?

No one dared.

The candidates could only express their dissatisfaction by gasping and slapping the table.

Such a big topic as filling the treasury was handed over to them for a small group of people to discuss? Thank you, Holy Lord, for looking up to them.

Li Qiao supported his head with one hand, and lightly tapped the four words full treasury with the other, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and his brain rotated rapidly.

Filling the treasury, this topic is bigger than the canal and the Yellow River, it is the treasury, the whole Dasheng money bag.

It's really difficult to fill this money bag and also crush other candidates.

No wonder the first two games were so easy, they were all waiting today.

However, although this topic is big, it is not biased, and seriously speaking, this is actually a question that every Dasheng official should ponder.

With such a big question, it is too easy to open up the gap, and it is too good to see the true level of a candidate.

But that doesn't include him.

Tao Zhu was upset for him, and felt that it was unfair to him to put him on the exam with people like Xin Zhi and Gu Lianghan.

In fact, it was Xin Zhi, Gu Lianghan and other candidates who were really treated unfairly, because he was comparing his vision, information and these people from his previous life.

He's a dimensionality reduction blow.

I can only say thank you.

If there is no saint, then his path to the imperial examination will really be difficult to go to the sky.

He got up and made a gesture in the direction of the palace, and then he sat down to grind the ink, he already had a rough outline in his mind.

Write the frame, fill in the details, and make a draft.

Polish, then write a draft.

Confirming that everything was correct, he began to transcribe the test paper.

By the time he had finished copying, it was not yet noon on the third day.

He can't submit the exam in advance, so he can only wait.

Bored, he pricked up his ears to listen to the movements of the other candidates.

The other candidates were in a hurry at this time, the topic of filling the treasury was too big, and the conventional means of filling the treasury had been done in all dynasties.

For example, the monopoly of salt and iron, the monopoly of liquor, the reform of the tax law, etc., now let a group of people who have not been officials think of another idea, isn't this really deliberately embarrassing?

How the hell is this written?

Baldness!

Big head!

Li Qiao listened to the movements of the other candidates, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the palace again, the saint is really his Bole!

Sitting until the evening, when the exam was over, the soldiers came to collect the test papers, and many candidates lined up to leave the examination room.

Today, many candidates no longer have the ease and high spirits of the first two games, and almost everyone is depressed and sighs.

Li Qiao didn't pretend to be heavy, he came out of the examination room and saw Tao Zhu, and immediately laughed.

Tao Zhu observed the faces of the other candidates, knowing that the exam questions were very difficult, he was worried, but seeing Li Qiao's smiling face, he couldn't help but laugh too, jumped up and waved at Li Qiao.

Anyway, I've already finished the exam, so go home first!

When I got home, it was already dark, and I was about to make dinner, when Zhuang Wen, Meng Yue, Xu Ying, Shen Hua, and Han Ning all came.

Although Zhuang Wen was tired to death, he still held on, he wanted to know Li Qiao's answer too much.

Meng Yue's mentality had already been adjusted, and he laughed: "What I wrote is very simple, kill corrupt officials!" ”

"If you copy the house of a corrupt official, you will definitely be able to copy a lot of silver, what a good way."

When Xu Ying heard this, she couldn't help but laugh, but there was obvious helplessness in her smile: "I wrote about making money from rich people, like painting brothers, the clothes he designed are very good-looking, and when he was wearing them and shopping, several people specially asked him." ”

In addition to the traditional means of increasing income, he really couldn't think of anything else, so he wrote the Shen painting next to him.

He was a little lacking in confidence: "If the imperial court comes forward to build a cloth village, and this cloth village sells beautiful clothes that others don't have, then there should be a lot of people who buy it, right?" ”

"There will definitely be a lot of people who will buy it! The clothes I made are so beautiful that even Brother Buckwheat is satisfied. ”

Shen Hua couldn't help but look at Li Qiao, with a little smugness on his face, hey, Xu Ying actually wrote him on the volume.

This makes the Xu family angry!

Li Qiao nodded generously: "The clothes designed by Brother Zhu'er, Brother Zhu looks very good when he wears, I like it very much." Brother Painter is very talented in this area. ”

When Shen Hua heard this, he immediately became happy: "Did you hear it?" Brother buckwheat said yes! ”

Xu Ying looked at his proud little appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "Brother painting is very powerful." ”

"Of course!" Shen Hua shook his head and squinted with a smile.

"Tsk, I wrote down my banker's small furniture business, which didn't make much money at first, but then a lot of foreign vendors came to Pingcheng, and many of these vendors rented houses, so my detachable small furniture was quite popular."

Zhuang Wen also smiled, although he didn't earn much, but it was also a new method, which was different from traditional methods.
