Yan Anbang's words are good, Sheng Hong really wants to see today's excerpts, he finished his workout early, and then went to the Hall of Talents to wait.

After the work of the Guang'an Hall was over, Li Qian and Yan Anbang went to the Seeking Talents Palace, and the remaining ministers had nothing to do, so they went directly out of the palace and returned to their respective yamen.

"Holy Lord, I have received a total of four hundred and thirty recommendation excerpts, all of which are here."

Li Qiao pointed to the two little eunuchs carrying wooden boxes behind him.

After hearing this, Sheng Hong got up from the chair behind the imperial case and walked towards the box, with an interested face: "Who are you promoting?" ”

"Ninety percent of the three princes were promoted."

Li Qiao replied truthfully.

Knowing that Sheng Hong would ask this question, the eight of them had already been counted just now.

"So much?" Sheng Hong raised his eyebrows, came to the wooden box, he casually picked up the fold on the top, and opened: "Hey, the imperial brother is also folded?" ”

"Yes, King Kang is on the fold."

Li Qian replied respectfully.

King Kang, Sheng Hong's eldest brother, Sheng Jun's eldest son, after Sheng Hong was made the crown prince, this King Kang was removed from his official position by Sheng Jun.

This time, the three princes were able to invite King Kang out to build momentum for themselves, which shows that they have made a lot of effort.

"Brother Huang has a heart."

Sheng Hong's face was calm, he put down King Kang's fold in his hand, and picked up another book casually: "Huh? Yan Aiqing, Song Aiqing from your Ministry of Rites also recommended Yan'er? ”

"If you return to the saint, yes, and Lord Song has connected three folds, emphasizing the importance and necessity of establishing a prince."

Yan Anbang also opened his mouth respectfully.

This Lord Song is the official of the Ministry of Rites second only to him, Song Mingda, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

The seven cabinet scholars all abstained from voting and remained silent, so the six squires who were second only to the scholars were very weighty.

Moreover, Song Mingda also put on three excerpts, and praised the three princes.

"It's good, it's reasonable."

Sheng Hong had already roughly swept the fold in his hand at this time, he flexed his finger and tapped lightly on the fold twice: "Yan'er is not only capable, but also quite popular with the people and officials, this fold is well written." ”

Li Qiao: "......"

Yan Anbang: "......"

Sheng Hong put the fold in his hand back into the wooden box, turned his head to see that Li Qiao and Yan Anbang didn't speak, and asked directly: "Two Aiqing, which prince did you promote?" ”

Yan Anbang explained with a smile as just now: "Holy Lord, several princes are outstanding, they are the dragons and phoenixes among people, but great virtue will live, and you will definitely live a long life, so there is no choice in the heart of the old minister." ”

Li Qian also immediately said: "Weichen also thinks that the Holy Lord is strong and strong, so there is no need to set up a prince at this time." ”

Sheng Hong listened to the nonsense of the two, a little speechless, he pointed directly at Li Qiao: "Li Aiqing, you must have a suitable candidate in your heart, let's talk about it, if you recommend, which prince do you choose?" ”

“…… How can your prince be a micro-minister to pick and choose? However, if you really want to choose the micro minister, then the micro minister must choose the seven princes. ”

Li Qiao doesn't play Tai Chi anymore.

The world knows that he is only close to the Seventh Prince.

"Yes." Sheng Hong nodded quite understandingly, and he glanced at the wooden box full of folds: "But I definitely want to listen to the voice of the hundred officials, so let's let Yan'er serve as the chief examiner of this examination." ”

Although the exam will be held at the beginning of next month, the examiner for this exam has not been decided.

Now that everyone has elected the third child, he naturally wants to give the third child another chance.

The Ministry of Rites has always been responsible for the examination and the palace examination, and Yan Anbang came to Sheng Hong today for the purpose of the examiner.

Now that Sheng Hong has finalized the candidate, he discussed some details with Sheng Hong, and then retired.

Li Qiao, who was silently criticizing the folds on the side, also got a job: marking the test papers.

It is a very tiring job to mark the papers, the chief examiner and the deputy examiner have to complete tens of thousands of papers in a few days, except for Li Qiao, Sheng Hong can't think of anyone more suitable for this job.

The three princes served as the chief examiner of the examination, and as soon as the news came out, the Manchu Dynasty was excited, although the previous princes had been trained in the six departments, Sheng Hong rarely sent them to do major things outside the yamen.

The chief examiner of the examination has always been a cabinet scholar, and now Sheng Hong has let the three princes hold this position, which is Sheng Hong's meaning that he is also optimistic about the three princes, right?

That's what almost everyone thinks.

The third prince himself thought so.

He already knew that most of the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty had elected him, and now Sheng Hong complied with the official will and public opinion and let him take on this great responsibility, and the position of the prince had fallen on his head.

As long as he handles this matter well, the position of the crown prince will definitely fall into his pocket from the top of his head!

When the three princes were ecstatic, Li Qiao's small days passed.

Tao Zhu quickly renovated the branch of the hot pot shop and the Malatang shop, and then openly recruited people from Shengjing.

After the wooden sign was hung up, the people who came to apply for the job almost broke the threshold of the new shop.

The guy of Lord Li's family is not only well-paid, but also equal to half of the Li family, not only can he enter the eyes of Lord Li, but also have one more big backer, such a good thing, if you miss it, you will regret it for life!

There were too many applicants, and when Tao Zhu finally picked a good candidate, on the other side, the test began.

This is a big deal, Mansheng Kyoto is paying attention, and Tao Zhu is also paying attention, but his focus is different.

The people living in the north of the city are all petty officials and rich people, not far from the Gongyuan, and if the people with good families do not want to live in the inn, they generally rent a house in the north of the city.

As a result, there are more people in the north of the city.

When there are more people, business will naturally be better.

It's a pity that these people stayed in Shengjing for too short.

That night, he sat under the lamp and read the account books, thanks to the blessings of these candidates, and the profits of several shops in his house have risen by 10% in the past two months.

Don't underestimate this success, his shop has a good business, even if it is a profit of 10%, there are more than 10,000 taels in these two months.

If you include the share of the royal dim sum shop, potato flour shop, etc., the profit is even more considerable.

"This kind of good thing only comes once in three years." Tao Zhu looked at Li Qiao on the side: "Before these people entered Beijing, I really didn't know that these people could bring us such high profits. ”

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu were huddled on a chair, he held Tao Zhu's waist with one hand, and rested on the table with the other hand to support his head and look at the account book in front of him.

Hearing Tao Zhu's words, he smiled: "There are tens of thousands of people in Juzi alone, plus the family members brought by Juzi, there are at least forty or fifty thousand people." ”

"And half of them are people with good family backgrounds, not all of them can be like Meng Yue, and they always refuse to accept the silver two fields and other property given by others."

"There are so many rich people here all of a sudden, not only our shops, but many shops in Shengjing City have made a lot of money."

It's like the Royal Dim Sum Shop, which is a new shop that appeared after the test three years ago, and most of the people from other places have only heard of the name of the Royal Dim Sum Shop, but have never tasted it.

After entering Beijing this time, these people invariably went to the royal dim sum shop to consume, on the one hand, they wanted to taste what the dim sum inside tasted like, and on the other hand, they wanted to rub his good luck as the champion.

The Royal Dim Sum Shop is not only a new shop, but also the key to his ability to win the champion.

Thinking of this, Li Qiao sighed a little: "In the last session, many people were not convinced by me, but now three years have passed, and this year's move is already convinced of me." ”

"Because time has proved that a small dim sum shop can indeed fetch a lot of silver. Moreover, you are no longer in competition with them. ”

Tao Zhu looked at Li Qiao, his eyes were shining.

The previous unconvincing were all suppressed by this man's terrifying earning ability.

Who left the treasury empty.

The saint values silver, and this man appeared just right.

"You're right, it's not a competitive relationship, so naturally there is no hostility." Li Qiao smiled and hugged the people around him: "I don't know what topic the saint will come up with this time." ”

"I guess it's still related to the treasury, didn't the Holy Lord let you think about continuing to fill the treasury before? It can be seen that the saint is still short of money. ”

Tao Zhu guessed.

"It should be." Thinking of his experience of being arrested by Sheng Hong because he couldn't think of a good idea to fill the treasury, Li Qiaodeng was a little sympathetic to the candidates of this year.

It's a difficult topic.

"No matter what the problem is, I just hope that the canal will be repaired soon."

Tao Zhu changed the topic, anyway, the test questions have nothing to do with Li Qiao, he is now more concerned about his own silver, which determines how many people he can help in the future.

"After the canal is repaired, there will be many ships docking in Weiqing County every day, let's open a shop there, and the monthly profit should be half of Shengjing, right?"

He was a little unsure.

Because Weiqing County is only a medium wharf, the daily passenger flow is not easy to say.

Speaking of the canal, Li Qiao couldn't help but think of cement again.

If the cement can be made, then Tao Zhu no longer has to turn over the ledger every day like the most recently.

Cement can not be reckless, Li Qiao is patient, and Tao Zhu chooses a house in the east of the city.

The days fly by and will soon be over.

Li Qiao entered the tribute courtyard and prepared to read the papers.

He was not the chief examiner, and he was not qualified to mark the papers, but Sheng Hong knew that he was suitable for this job, so he sent him to the Tribute Academy to support several examiners.

After entering the Tribute Academy, several markers cannot step out of the Tribute Academy before the examination papers are completed.

In addition to the three princes, there are also several deputy examiners.

Tens of thousands of papers have to be completed in a few days, which is a hard work, not only does the eye have to touch a large number of words every second, but the brain also has to quickly analyze the content of these words.

Towards the end of the first morning, Li Qiao felt that his eyes were glazed.

How come there are three candidates' essays that are almost the same?

Chapter 169: Three Identical Exam Papers For the sake of fairness

Dasheng's examination marking system is very strict.

After the examination, all the test papers were first named, and then sent to the special room used for transcription in the Gongyuan Academy, where many outstanding calligraphers worked overtime to transcribe tens of thousands of test papers to new papers.

After the transcription, there is also the reading level.

At this level, the Ministry of Rites still hires a large number of Xiucai to proofread the original volume and the transcription version, and if there is a discrepancy, then call it back and let the Xiucai who is in charge of transcription re-transcribe it.
