"Brother, did you also go to Beijing to take the exam?" said a man dressed as a young scholar to Bai Qi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Bai Qi looked at the man and was puzzled: "Isn't the imperial examination starting in March? It's July, and you still go to Beijing to take the exam?"

The young scholar suddenly looked at Bai Qi with a look of surprise with a monster look: "King Tang opened the special department on August 15, and accepted all kinds of capable people, even those who have not passed the township examination and the general examination can participate, don't you know?"

Bai Qi was stunned for a while: "I live in the countryside all the year round, so I haven't heard of it, I wonder if Brother Tai can solve his doubts for him?"

The young scholar suddenly showed a sudden expression: "Six gates, this is a specialty set up by the Tang Emperor's turnstile, so that people who specialize in the imperial examination also have a way out, namely, agriculture, commerce, water conservancy, construction, law, and military. Moreover, in the future, these six subjects will also select specialized talents for the country like the imperial examination system. The scholar looked into the distance with a wistful expression.

Bai Qi had to be gloomy for a while at this time, if there was a junior college in the morning, he wouldn't have to go to cultivate immortals, right? He might also go to the imperial examination like him? His father would not be separated from him, so that his old man would be displaced, Bai Qi sighed at this time.

The scholar sighed when he saw Bai Qi: "Brother Tai doesn't have to sigh, I am born to be useful, even if there are no suitable subjects for Brother Tai, Brother Tai can also do something else, right?"

Bai Qi nodded with a chuckle and walked to the capital with a few scholars, but when he passed by a town, he saw two teams of officers and soldiers standing on the side of the road, holding a portrait, constantly watching and comparing the people passing by.

Bai Qi immediately exuded his senses, saw the portraits on the hands of the officers and soldiers, and immediately confirmed that what they were looking for was indeed him.

However, because in the three years of Qingxuan, Bai Qi lived in a simple life, and there were not many people who had seen him, and the portrait was not at all like himself, Bai Qi also followed the scholar into the city without danger.

At night, Bai Qi lay in the stable of the inn, and he didn't have the heart to meditate, thinking of his father's situation, but after thinking about it, Lin Yu'er must have received her own transmission, and did not reply to herself, so it proves that she must be fine now, and if she didn't transmit the voice to me, it must be inconvenient to use spiritual power, thinking of this, Bai Qi's heart was a little relieved.

"What's the matter, can't you sleep? Still homesick?" the scholar patted Bai Qi on the shoulder.

The scholar's name is Chen Dashan, and there are two people who are Tang Xiaohu and Mi Dong, among which Dashan's family has studied water control for generations, and has a set of water control, according to him, he is going to the champion of water conservancy at this time, and two people are proficient in construction and agriculture respectively.

Bai Qi shook his head and didn't speak.

Chen Dashan saw that Bai Qi didn't speak, thinking that he was embarrassed to speak, and patted Bai Qi: "My generation of men should be ambitious in all directions, and they must not be tied up for their hometown, when I went out, my father told me that if I can't contribute what I have learned to the world, then don't go back to see his old man." ”

Bai Qi smiled: "You have a good father, although my father also wants me to be a big man, but he wants me to be safe." ”

Dashan sighed: "Even so, they all want us to live well....... both of them were silent

The next day, Bai Qi also got up early with a few people and embarked on the road to the capital.

Bai Qi knew that now that the Tang Kingdom was full of soldiers, he could feel the monk's divine sense sweeping everywhere, and in order to avoid the monk, Bai Qi decided to enter Beijing to participate in the special department.

A month later, in front of the gate of the capital, Bai Qi had to sigh, he had experienced a total of hundreds of foundation building divine consciousness sweeps along the way, and even encountered the late stage of foundation building divine consciousness several times, if it wasn't for Xiaoqing's reminder, Bai Qi immediately took out his mask and brought it on, maybe he had been arrested Qingxuan.

At this time, a few people have lived like the image of asking for food, if it weren't for the bookish atmosphere on their bodies, anyone would treat them as asking for food, but because of the Tang Dynasty's six gates, countless talents from all over the country have poured into the capital, and there are many people in their clothes, and I saw that there were already six long queues under the city gate, which were six corresponding subjects.

Obviously, it is not for everyone to blindly pour into the capital, here you still need to answer a few questions about the corresponding specialty, Dashan also separated several other people, stood in the column of water conservancy, and the other two also stood in the corresponding ranks, Bai Qi really didn't know what to choose, so he stood in the business ranks.

As time passed, Bai Qi got closer: "What is a businessman?" asked Bai Qi without raising his head.

Bai Qi was stunned for a while and replied smoothly: "Buy low and sell high." ”

The interviewer raised his head and glanced at Bai Qi, "What's the matter of buying low and selling high?"

Bai Qi was speechless for a while, what is the problem, "Buy when something is lower than the market price, and sell it when the high market price reaches the price you want."

The official nodded at Bai Qi and smiled: "You go into the city."

Bai Qi was also puzzled for a while, this is over? Bai Qi suddenly exuded his divine sense,

"What is a Merchant"

"Zi said, the gentleman is in righteousness, and the villain is in profit....."

When Bai Qi heard the man's answer, he immediately understood why he was able to pass, shook it and walked into the capital.

"Brother Qibai, this, come here" Chen Dashan beckoned to Bai Qi and motioned for Bai Qi to come over.

Bai Qi saw along the way, those officers and soldiers took portraits one after another, and asked if they knew Bai Qi and whether they had seen the person on the portrait, Bai Qi was helpless and changed his name.

Bai Qi saw Chen Dashan, nodded and walked over: "I thought I was fast enough, but I didn't expect Brother Chen to be faster than me."

Dashan smiled: "Eh, Brother Qi, didn't you say that you chose agriculture?

Bai Qi just smiled at Dashan.

Dashan saw that Bai Qi was silent, and he didn't bother to ask, who didn't have a little idea of his own? Thinking of this, Dashan said to Bai Qi: "Brother Qi, we are going to a civilian restaurant, I wonder if Brother Qi is interested in going?"

"Civilian restaurant?" Bai Qi was puzzled. Bai Qi knew that this group of people was penniless, if Bai Qi hadn't beaten them a few rabbits and caught a few birds on the road to satisfy their hunger, they would have to eat grass roots and gnaw tree bark to come to the capital.

Chen Dashan smiled: "King Tang knew that the children of the commoners were in difficulty, so he set up a civilian restaurant, as long as they passed the entrance test, they could live in the civilian restaurant, and all the accommodation and food were free."

Bai Qi didn't say a word when he heard this, nodded, and followed them to the restaurant.

said that it was a restaurant, but in fact it was a room, dozens of people squeezed it, and then gave a steamed bun and a bowl of vegetable soup for each meal, which was considered to have dealt with the past, but Bai Qi didn't care, he had reached the ninth layer of Qi gathering, even if he didn't eat for ten days and half a month, it was fine.
