After meeting Chen Yu, it was already late in the afternoon when Shen Yi left the prefect's Yamen.
When walking out of the government office, Shen Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Chen Fuzun is definitely a very powerful person, and if he doesn't care about Ganquan Academy, he is fully capable of destroying Shen Yi now. Therefore, Shen Yi has to be careful when talking to him and try not to offend this person. The master of Jiangdu Prefecture.
But overall, the conversation between the two people went smoothly, and Shen Yi also got some benefits from it. For example, after he returned to Jiankang, he could inform the emperor as agreed.
More importantly, he had formed a "good relationship" with Chen Yu, so that no matter how severe the collision between Chen Yu and Ganquan Academy was in the court, Shen Yi would not be greatly affected.
Of course, with Chen Fuzun's "protecting oneself wisely" attitude, after Yang Jingzong retires, he will guarantee that he will not have a head-on conflict with Ganquan Academy for five or even ten years.
In fact, if Ganquan Academy were to talk to Chen Yu today, the two parties would definitely be able to reach a more tacit understanding. After all, Shen Yi is just a student of Ganquan Academy and is not qualified to speak for the academy yet, so today he is only considered a "talk" between him and Chen Yu. Private Transaction".
Because he stayed in the government office for too long, it was already sunset when Shen Yi returned home. At this time, the county government office had already got off work, and there was no reason to go to the land deed. Shen Yi had a meal with the elders at home. After reluctantly entertaining them, Shen Yi could return to his bedroom and sleep.
The next morning, when two little maids woke up Shen Yi, Mr. Shen finally recovered from the fatigue of traveling and traveling. After breakfast, Shen Yi followed his third uncle and his entourage to the Jiangdu County government office. The house has passed the title deed.
It just so happened that I also took this opportunity to interview the parents of the county government officials.
After the group arrived at the county government office, several elderly people from the Shen family explained the land deed to the officials at the government office. While the officials at the government office were still verifying Shen Yi's identity, the county magistrate came to the scene in person. After Mr. Zun made a pretense of inspection and checked the land deed handed over by the Shen family, he took Shen Yi out of the household. Before leaving, he turned around and told the officials of the household to go about their business. .
Following the instructions of the county magistrate, the officials in the household became more attentive and began to handle the procedures for the Shen family.
On the other side, Shen Yi was pulled into the county master's study by the county master.
After Shen Yi sat down in the study, Zhang Xianzun poured him a cup of tea himself, and then said with a smile: "I heard that after winning the imperial examination, the clan members or the squires from the same town will collect two hundred yuan even if they sell iron. The land was given to the newly promoted people, and I just saw the land deed they handed over in the household, why is it only 100 acres?"
Zhang Jian placed a cup of hot tea in front of Shen Yi, squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "What? Are these people from Qilang bullying you?"
In this era, "strange mailing" has become the norm. Even Zhang Jian, a prime minister, doesn't think there is anything wrong with this behavior.
Shen Yi shook his head quickly and said, "It has nothing to do with the elders. They prepared two hundred acres of land, but my younger brother didn't want them all and couldn't push them all back, so they asked for one hundred acres of land."
"What are you doing with such humility?"
Zhang Jian thought that Shen Yi didn't understand what "guilty delivery" meant. After lowering his head and taking a sip of tea, he explained to Shen Yi with a smile: "They didn't give the land to you for nothing. They gave it to you, so you don't have to give it to you anymore." You rented it from the government and the imperial court, but if you look at it carefully, they still took advantage of you."
Zhang Jian said with a smile: "If you only want half of them, they might blame you Shen Qi behind your back."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "Senior brother, I know the twists and turns involved, but I will also buy land in the future, so I have to leave half of the tax-free land for myself."
Zhang Jian's eyes widened and he looked at Shen Yi in disbelief. He said in astonishment: "Qi Lang has already won the title of Juren. He has nothing to do with farming and weaving in this life. Even if he buys land, he still has to rely on others. You always Don’t you want to buy some land and plant it yourself?”
"That's not the case."
Shen Yi said with a smile: "It does have some uses. If there is a chance in the future, senior brother will naturally know about it. Don't ask now. Telling it now will only increase your laughter."
In this era, everything is man-made. Researching crops seems too avant-garde at this time and is too incompatible with this world. Before Shen Yi comes up with the real thing, it is not suitable to publicize it so as not to make others laugh.
After the two senior brothers had a conversation, Zhang Jian suddenly winked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Yesterday I received a letter from the teacher from Jiankang. The letter said that the teacher promised you that if you can get into the top five in the provincial examination Ten, he will make the decision and come to propose marriage to Uncle Lu’s daughter on your behalf.”
"Now Qilang ranks seventh in the provincial examination..."
Zhang Xianzun chuckled and said: "Qi Lang, if you are embarrassed to mention it, I will go to the academy to see Uncle Lu in two days. How about I tell him for you?"
"Senior brother, don't mess around."
Shen Yi coughed, shook his head slightly and said, "Proposing marriage should not be too trivial. If the time comes in the future..."
Shen Qilang took a deep breath and said, "I will naturally trouble my uncle and senior brother when the time comes."
What Shen Yi said about "the time is ripe" was consensual consent.
After all, the soul in his body does not agree with this "blind box" marriage model that relies entirely on parents.

Although Zhang Jian didn't understand Shen Yi's thoughts, seeing that Shen Yi persisted, he didn't say anything more. He just smiled and lowered his head to drink tea.
Shen Yi on the side looked at Zhang Jian and said with a smile: "But if senior brother Hou Tian is free, he really has to go to the academy."
Zhang Xianzun put down the tea cup in his hand and asked, "What, Uncle Lu, are you inviting me to dinner?"
Shen Yi smiled and nodded: "The day after tomorrow, there will be a banquet in the academy to entertain the candidates for this year's mid-level examination in Jiangdu Prefecture. Yesterday I went to see Chen Fuzun. Chen Fuzun meant that Jiangdu Prefecture's Luming Banquet should also be held in the academy. Master Chen should be communicating with Master Lu now."
He looked at Zhang Jian and said with a smile: "Let me see, senior brother, you might as well hold the deer roaring banquet of the county government in the academy. This will save you, senior brother, a lot of work."
The imperial court's official "Deer Ming Banquet" has already been held in Jiankang Mansion, but the prefectural and county-level yamen still have to invite these new candidates who have returned to their hometowns, their parents, and local squires to have dinner .
This meal is also called the Deer Ming Banquet.
Zhang Jian had just been a parent official for more than a year and had no experience in holding such a local banquet. After hearing this, he scratched his head and nodded: "Then do as Qilang said."
The county magistrate snorted: "Chen Fengde has taken advantage of the glory of our academy, but I, a disciple of the academy, can't he?"
"At the Luming Banquet two days later, Master Lu will also officially accept me as a student."
Shen Yi stood aside, smiled at Zhang Jian and said, "Senior brother, from now on we will be serious fellow disciples."
Zhang Xianzun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and congratulated Shen Yi.
"Congratulations, Shichiro, you finally got your title!"
