Whether the rebel army will leave Li Zhihai alone and not kill him, Tao Yu also has a bottom in his heart: "We all understand this, because everyone in the rebel army knows that Li Zhizhou is an acquaintance of Wu Xu, and for the sake of Wu Xu's face, they will keep his life." ”

"Okay, then don't worry so much. "After all, this place is far away from that battlefield, and as soon as Tao Ziyun put the topic aside like this, everyone chatted about other topics.

......

Time flies, and it is time for the whole country to test. At this time, He Renzhi, who had already won the show, was still in the yamen of Jiangxi Governor and was a master to his father-in-law. On the eve of the township examination, he went back to Hunan to participate in the township examination.

And that person is often stupid, from the Shaanxi Provincial Supervisor Yushi to Sichuan as the deputy chief examiner of the township examination.

As for Tao Ziyun, he recently arrested the key offender of the household department for privately making false photos, added the title of prince to the rank of young prince, and acted as the governor of Liangjiang.

Tao Ziyun's four wives were also named Mrs. Yipin. Their family all moved into the yamen of the governor of Liangjiang.

Today's Tao Ziyun is dedicated to his duties, diligent and caring for the people, and his work ability, knowledge level, administrative experience, and officialdom experience have been significantly improved.

Tao Ziyun continued to clean up the backlog of lawsuits, crack down on villains, severely punish lawsuits, strengthen public order, redress unjust prisons, and stabilize social order. It is forbidden to set up private checkpoints, smooth traffic, encourage industry and commerce, and develop commercial trade. We should inspect the rural areas, be sympathetic to the people's feelings, show concern for the people's livelihood, provide relief for disasters and famines, reward land reclamation, vigorously build farmland and water conservancy, and develop agricultural production.

He dared to face reality, publicize contradictions, and expose malpractices; and was good at addressing reality, resolving contradictions, and eliminating malaise. As a result, the government was purged, the people's customs were reformed, and the normal order of feudal society was built.

He Renzhi later went to the Yamen of the Governor of Liangjiang to visit Tao Ziyun and his sister He Meimei, and reported that he had been promoted.

"That's good. You have made a name for yourself, continue to work hard, within the current examination rules, seek a breakthrough, and strive to be a Jinshi in the examination next spring. He Renzhi's sister, He Meimei, happily encouraged He Renzhi.

"Of course, I will work hard, brother-in-law's today, is my goal. He Renzhi replied firmly, but he suppressed his feelings. said to my sister and brother-in-law: "However, those familiar classmates, male relatives and friends in my hometown, although they have also won the show before, but none of them have won the township test this time." ”

"You care so much about their affairs!" Tao Ziyun smiled lightly, as if appreciating He Renzhi, and he continued: "I don't want to talk about their affairs now, your current situation. Just like Hu He's father in the past. Hu He's father, the head of the Fortune Road, encountered difficulties in reality, and adopted the practice of avoiding and evading, and now he does not know his exact whereabouts. Don't you want to learn from him! When you encounter a problem, try your best to solve it is the last word. ”

"Hehe, I care about those classmates and relatives and friends who are reading, and I can't help them!" He Renzhi smiled awkwardly. Then he said firmly to Tao Ziyun: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely not follow in the footsteps of the Fortune and Wealth Dao, and I will definitely rise to the challenge." I will try my best to solve the problems I face, and at the same time, I will not be cruel to part with my wife. ”

"That's good. Tao Ziyun stretched out a hand and patted He Renzhi on the shoulder, "Next, I still have to work hard to deal with the official class, you just stay and play for a few more days, recuperate your spirits, and return to Jiangxi to be the governor and have the energy to do things! I will let your sister entertain you well, and let her take you around and take a look at the scenery here." ”

"Do you need to say this?" He Mei glanced at Tao Ziyun, and then said to He Renzhi lovingly: "Brother, my sister will take you to the Qinhuai River tonight to play, and take a cruise on the river to play, it is indescribably warm and romantic!"

At that time, the imperial examination was divided into two subjects: civil and military. For liberal arts, the township examination is in August, and the general examination is in February of the following year. Wu Ke, the township test is in October, and the meeting test is in September of the following year.

Another few months have passed, and after the New Year, it will be time for the liberal arts in the spring in the blink of an eye.

Tao Ziyun got the news that Liu Shan had returned to his hometown from the Shanyin Gao Xiaowei, had participated in last year's Wuke Township Test, and had won the fame of Wuju people. In this year's martial arts examination, he will go to the capital to participate.

According to the system of the Qing Dynasty, the governor was in charge of the military and the people, comprehensively controlled the civil and military affairs, inspected the officials, and repaired the feudal territory. Every three years, on the day of the examination, he must go to Beijing from his post to serve as a supervisor and a chief examiner.

Therefore, Tao Ziyun accepted the emperor's edict, temporarily released the official class of the governor of Liangjiang, left Lu tea in the yamen, Tao Ziyun personally drove the horse, let his wife and children sit in the carriage, sightseeing all the way, went to the capital, and temporarily served as the examiner of the examination this time. However, in the later martial arts examination, he doesn't have to be an examiner.

Tao Ziyun has already gotten the news, people are often stupid, and after going to Sichuan to do the deputy chief examiner of the township examination, he now has an official position called "inspecting the middle city" in the capital. Now their family, when they arrived in the capital, lived in Changfu.

In Changfu, there was a family and enthusiastically set up a banquet for Tao Ziyun and them. During the banquet, he asked Tao Ziyun casually: "Brother Tao, when you are the governor of Liangjiang, you have come to be the examiner for a period of time, and you have to go back to be the old business of the governor of Liangjiang in the future, the governor of Liangjiang, is it easy to do?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, it's just a matter of doing your best. Tao Ziyun did not directly answer the regular question, but confirmed the regular question from the side: "In Shanyin, there is a Liang member who was relieved from the appointment of the Ministry of Industry and returned to the field, he was an official, and he had quite a lot of political achievements, so he has not been belittled, and he knows more about today's officialdom than us." I have heard him say that in terms of the importance of official positions, security is the most important thing for the governor of Zhili, because the capital is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Zhili, and if the capital cannot be saved, the country will be finished. In addition, there is the problem of life, the people depend on food, and whether or not there is an adequate supply of food will affect the survival of the country. The three provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, and Jiangxi, under the jurisdiction of the Liangjiang Governor, are the granaries of the whole country, and when the grain of the three provinces is mature, the granaries of the whole country will be sufficient. There, they have to produce food and collect money for the country. Liang Yuanwai said that the governor of Zhili should be the most martial and loyal, and govern the two provinces. The Governor of Liangjiang should be the most capable and govern the three provinces. These two are the most important officials of the state. ”

Chang listened to Tao Ziyun's relay of Liang Yuanwai's words, and blinked in shock: "Well, the burden on Brother Tao's shoulders is very heavy!"

"Well, I hope I can afford this burden!" Tao Ziyun replied expectantly.

Moss Yu interjected beside him and said: "In addition to producing grain and collecting money for the country, you also have to fight for the country! It is customary in this dynasty that when there is a war, the civilian officials must bring the military attache to the war." ”

Tao Ziyun tugged at the placket of Moss Yu's clothes: "Madam, don't go far." ”

Moss Yu glared at Tao Ziyun: "Don't pull my clothes!"

Seeing this, Chang quickly changed the topic: "I heard that your brother-in-law He Renzhi won the promotion last year, and he will definitely come to participate in the examination this spring, right?"

"Of course he's going to come to this exam. Tao Ziyun said solemnly: "The problem of the science field, the most afraid is fraud. In order to avoid suspicion, I didn't come with him, and I didn't have any contact with him during the test. ”

Chang Li, so he said to Tao Ziyun righteously: "Okay, during the examination, in addition to going to the Gongyuan to invigilate the examination, you will live in my house, and I will not let anyone, especially the scholars who participate in the examination, approach you." ”

......

I will try to pass the test one by one, and finally it is the day of the release of the list. After this morning, Tao Ziyun still stayed quietly in Chang Li's house. His wives dressed in men's clothes, with their children, went out in a carriage to see the list.

As soon as the ladies came back, Tao Ziyun didn't need to ask, he knew that there was nothing good. Among them, He Meimei, looked the most disappointed, which is the best indication - her younger brother He Renzhi is famous in Sun Shan.

At that time, it was not yet noon, and I had not yet come back after going to the government office. At He Meimei's request, Tao Ziyun and his wife directly bid farewell to his wife Yuan Luoying, and was about to go back.

Yuan Luoying and her father and mother who lived in her house worked hard to stay, but it had no effect, so they had to let Tao Ziyun and them get in the carriage and leave.

Outside the gate of Changfu, waiting for them was He Renzhi, who personally drove the carriage. Tao Ziyun exchanged a few words with him, and each of them drove the carriage and went listlessly to the outside of the imperial city.

When he arrived at a place where there was no one, Tao Ziyun took two carriages into the air and quickly returned to the yamen of the governor of Liangjiang.

This time, He Renzhi had no interest in playing, and the next day, with the blessing of Tao Ziyun's family, he drove the carriage alone and went to the Yamen of the Jiangxi Governor.

Later, there was finally good news, in the martial arts examination in September this year, Liushan, who had already won the martial arts, was admitted to the martial arts examination, and in the martial arts examination, he was admitted to the martial arts scholar! (to be continued......)
