"Book? What book? Who wrote what book?" Gao Qiu heard his son talking to himself and asked along the topic.
"Of course it's a book from heaven. As for who wrote it, I also want to know." Gao Fugui shook his head. He really didn't know who the author of these two books was. At that time, he guessed it was Xuan Mo. He even went to ask the shopkeeper of the book stall, but the shopkeeper only asked Not mentioned.
However, when Gao Qiu heard the 'Heavenly Book', his already calmed down mood suddenly rose again, "You idiot, you still mentioned the 'Heavenly Book'. Do you want to make your father angry to death?"
This time Gao Fugui suppressed his anger and said patiently: "Father, this 'Book of Heaven' is really a good thing." As he said that, he took out two more books from the cabinet, which were "Economic Theory" and "Political Theory" .
"Look at this"
"Good stuff?" Before Gao Fugui could finish his words, Gao Qiu grabbed one of the books, opened one of the pages, and said angrily: "You said it was a good stuff, right? I want to ask you, is this the same as Is it related to the imperial examination? Can it help you win the imperial examination in one fell swoop?"
Gao Fugui listened and replied seriously: "Maybe!"
"Can it still be done?" Gao Qiu wanted to throw the book down, but he suppressed his anger and glanced at the written "Political Lectures" and said, "Okay, you have learned a lot. This book is called "Political Lectures", so I have to ask What do you mean by politics?"
Gao Fugui listened, waved his hand, and replied without thinking: "Politicians, the behavior of a dynasty in governing a country."
"How to govern?"
Gao Qiu looked happy, how to manage it? hehe! The "Political Lectures" were very detailed and wonderful. It was definitely a sacred word. He had read it no less than a hundred times, and he couldn't put it down every time.
Why can't you answer? He could read it with his eyes closed.
"Governance is the behavior of the people. The people elect representatives to govern the country on behalf of the country. The people are the masters of the country."
"You, you" Before Gao Fugui could finish speaking, Gao Qiu directly knocked the book on Gao Fugui's head, "Nie Zi, Nie Zi" He couldn't bear it anymore and passed out again.
Is it the power of the people to elect representatives to the country? Are the people in charge? This is a rhythm that will piss off eighteen generations of ancestors.
"Isn't it? Did my answer seem outrageous? It shouldn't be! Could it be that I'm not good at my studies? Well, that must be the case."
Therefore, Gao Fugui made up his mind to read these two books a hundred times.
A few days later, the imperial court announced that the imperial examination, which had been delayed due to the Eastern Tour, would begin in half a month. When the news came out, the students immediately became nervous. The imperial examination was about to come, and the opportunity to determine the fate of their lives was about to come.
At that time, the popularity of paper gave many students from poor families and even the sons of slightly wealthy farmers the opportunity to study. Coupled with the rise of private schools, many students emerged.
The imperial court established a new imperial examination supervisor, who was responsible for the conduct of imperial examinations and the supervision of fraud.
It can be seen from the data released by the imperial examination supervisor that tens of thousands of people signed up to participate in the imperial examination this time, which is very popular. It also shows that students are eager to pursue fame and fortune.
In Chang'an Township, Li Zhao came back. He immediately found Xiao He and wanted to ask about the sales of paper and three books.
You know, the imperial examination is about to start, and the sales of paper will definitely rise to a higher level. He is very concerned about the revenue of paper.
For now, paper is the largest income in Chang'an Township. He must understand clearly, and there are three books. Of course, he also wants to know how popular it is in Xianyang.
Just when he found Xiao He, he found that Xiao He was holding a bamboo scroll and looking at it with relish. When he walked in and took a look, he was furious. He was actually reading the Shang and Zhou books. Wasn't this deliberately against him? Last time, he severely criticized him and threw away his books, and he was not allowed to read these useless things. How did this guy get such a book again?
It is very likely that he also signed up for the imperial examination.
"Have you registered for the imperial examination?" Li Zhao asked tentatively.
When Xiao He saw the young master, he quickly saluted, but he muttered and hesitated not knowing how to speak.
Why didn't Li Zhao know yet? He must have signed up. He sighed to himself: You are an unfamiliar wolf! This son still wants to escape from Chang'an Township and only thinks about the imperial examination.
Of course, he had many ways to quell Xiao He's desire to take the imperial examination and serve himself better.
Um! Since he likes to read classics, let him read as much as he can. Isn't it also serving himself if he reads his own books?
So, he fiercely snatched the "Book of Shang and Zhou" from Xiao He's hand, tore it into pieces in two or three times, then went to the back room to get "Economics" and "Political Lectures", and said deceitfully: "You want to I won’t stop you, young master of the imperial examination, but you have to choose the right book, read it! Just reading these two books will definitely help you win the first place in the imperial examination."
hey-hey! As long as Xiao He is allowed to read these two books, it will be impossible to be shortlisted for the imperial examination. If he fails, won't he be able to serve him obediently?
Li Zhao snickered in his heart.
Xiao He had no choice but to accept the second book.
In fact, he has read these two books many times and can almost memorize them. But the young master has said so, what can he say? I had to pick up the second book and start reading.
What happened in this scene was all seen by Li Jinong. He looked at Li Zhao angrily and really wanted to go up and give him a slap in the face.
Such a nephew can really ruin the future of Chang'an Township!
In fact, he got the "Book of Shang and Zhou" in Xiao He's hands, and he also reported his name in the scientific report. His idea was very simple. With the development of Chang'an Township to this day, the imperial court cannot be empty.
Although my nephew is the commander-in-chief, he is still a member of the army. It is not enough to have someone in the army, but they are only military officers, and civilian officials are also indispensable.
Xiao He was a shrewd man, and he heard that he was also a scholar. Li Jinong then hoped that Xiao He could obtain a good name for Chang'an Township and become an official in the court.
But never thought that my nephew would be so disgusted with Xiao He's imperial examination that he would take away the book in his hand and force him to read the second degree?
Li Jinong was furious. He had read these two books. They were a mess and did not meet the needs of the court at all. They were just miscellaneous books.
"Zhao'er, the name of the science report was given by my uncle, and the classics were written by me. Don't blame Xiao He." Li Jinong walked over directly, suppressed his anger, and said calmly.
"Uncle believes that Xiao He's imperial examination is acceptable."
Although his uncle was his father, he was not his biological son, and he always had some mental disorders. Li Jinong could not reprimand Li Zhao loudly.
Li Zhao was also filial and had no intention of blaming his uncle. He raised his hands and said, "Uncle, Zhao did not oppose Xiao He's imperial examination! He just recommended him to read these two books."
Li Zhao pretended to be considerate of Xiao He.
Li Jinong shook his head and secretly said that his nephew was not telling the truth! He obviously didn't want Xiao He to take the imperial examination, but he said it so grandly.
Also, do you recommend two books? Who doesn't know that these two books are miscellaneous books? If you really don't oppose Xiao He's imperial examination, how can you recommend them? This was done deliberately so that Xiao He would not be able to obtain fame.
He, Li Jinong, is not that stupid yet, so how could he not see it?
You don’t mean what you say!
This kid is so much like his father.
Yes, this kid is just like his father, he just doesn't mean what he says.
That year and that day, Li Jinong still remembered that his elder brother Li Nian rescued a woman who was about to commit suicide in a wilderness and placed her at home. Perhaps it was because of a long-term relationship that his elder brother fell in love with the woman and knew his temperament well. He asked his eldest brother if he liked the woman, and if he did, he would marry her, but the eldest brother denied it. But no one knew that he liked the woman. Otherwise, how could he be so attentive and go to her house every day?
