After saying the tax number, he looked at Tian Mengwan with a proud expression.
"Of course Fan Jin will not take the Changyuan County Scholar Examination." Tian Meng smiled mischievously and shook his head, "He took the West County Examination and was admitted as a scholar. I heard that he was still in the top ten, and he was also a lifangdianshi."
Zhang Liang's eyes lit up: "It's almost half a year since the Xi County Scholar Examination."
He put down the tea cup and looked at Tian Mengwan, hoping to get the same answer.
"It's been half a year. Xi County is now larger than Changyuan County and bigger than Fuzhou. I heard it has a population of almost 200,000." Tian Menghan did not live up to his hopes and went further.
"It seems that Fan Jin is better than Fan Peng. I heard that Fuling County has only 50% of the population, and only a quarter of Xi County." Huang Dong also looked surprised.
Seeing that these people were so optimistic about Xi County, the tax officer's face became gloomy, as if he could drip water.
He smiled coldly, raised his neck, and said contemptuously: "What's good about Xi County is that it is under the noses of the barbarians and may be wiped out at any time."
"Eradicate? Xixian County has been in the hands of the Song Dynasty for half a year. If the Hu people have this ability, why can't they be eliminated now?" Huang Dong also looked unconvinced and immediately retorted.
Wu Yi couldn't see the appearance of a big family with a tax ID number, so he immediately stood up: "Xixian County used to have a population of less than 30,000, but now it's almost 20,000. All in all, how come the Hu people want to wipe out Xi County, but there are more and more Han people?"
"I heard that the imperial court is about to upgrade Xi County and turn it into Xizhou." Tian Mengwan made a booing gesture and revealed a big news.
Hood patted the coffee table and raised his voice with joy: "Great, we are about to go to West County, and it seems that we have just the right time."
The tax ID officer glared at them bitterly, his face almost turning the color of pig liver.
"Xixian, Xixian?" He smiled coldly again and immediately poured cold water on it, "Xixian is not just one county. What can become a state? You guys take it for granted."
"Xixian? My son's name, you only know one, but not the other." Tian Meng smiled faintly, "Zhaojiazhuang took back Xixian, and also snatched 10% of the territory of Nanzheng and Baocheng from the Hu people, plus It is considered three counties in total, and its population and tax revenue far exceed that of a mainland state, so it has the qualifications to form a state."
Lin Chang, Huang Dong and others nodded and agreed: "Indeed, there is hope for Xi County to be upgraded."
"Zi Qiang, it seems that your fellow countryman named Fan Jin got a blessing in disguise. Xi County was upgraded and his position has improved." Zhang Liang's eyes lit up and he bowed his hand to Tian Mengwan to express his congratulations.
Tian Mengwan smiled slightly and glanced at the tax number.
The tax officer didn't expect to be choked here again, his face turned livid, and he had to turn his head to the side.
Chen Shi put down his tea cup and was extremely happy: "When West County is upgraded to a prefecture, the officials and miscellaneous officials will definitely still be poor. By then we will have hope."
"We are going to read a book now to prepare for the Xizhou Scholar Examination." Zhou Tian patted his head and suddenly realized.
Chen Shi, Zhou Tian and others were not on the list, which turned out to be very sad.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse, Changyuan County failed the exam, and news of the scholar exam came from Xizhou.
There were three to four thousand literati who took the exam this time, but only one hundred were admitted, and most of the rest failed.
Hearing this, these scholars were all overjoyed.
The tax officer couldn't believe that this place was real. He rolled his eyes a few times and came to the county magistrate Qian Shao, wanting to hear official news.
He bowed respectfully to Qian Shao: "Mr. Qian, I heard that West County was upgraded. Is this the case?"
"It is indeed true. The imperial edict is on the way." Qian Shao nodded, stroking his beard and answering with a smile.
The tax officer was overjoyed, his face turned red, and he bowed his hands: "Official Qian, can students take the exam?"
He was originally on the list and ranked twenty-nine, but unfortunately he came out to question it and failed the list, which became a big joke.
At this point, he was shaking all over, afraid that he would not be able to take the exam.
Not only was he so excited, but some of the people on the list were also excited, looking at Qian Shao with their eyes fixed on him.
Only those in the top thirty, or even the top ten, are satisfied if they are on the list, and the rest are minor officials.
"Yes, as long as you are not on the list, you can take the exam. If you are on the list, you will lose the qualification to take the exam." Qian Shao looked at the group of students in front of him and solemnly announced.
When they heard that they were on the list and could not take the exam, some pupils shrank, and some showed disappointment.
Many students took a breath of air. The opportunity was so good, but it was a pity that they missed it.
Qian Shao caught the expressions of these students and smiled slightly.
But the rules are the rules. If you are on the list, but people don't go, where do you put the government?
Strictly is here too. He put a smile on his face and said lightly: "Starting from Xizhou, there must be a pavilion chief for the scholar examination."
When they heard that there was a pavilion chief in the exam, the originally disappointed students shrank their necks, especially the scholars from Changyuan County who had already passed the examination and became happy again.
The chief of the pavilion not only guards the pavilion for a long time, but also solves a lot of disputes among the villagers.
There are so many things to learn, including fighting, scolding, and so on.
In short, being a pavilion chief means that you are both civil and military if you say it well, but if you say it badly, it will bring disgrace to the scholar.
What's more important is that Xizhou is right under your nose. How can the hinterland of Changyuan County be safe?
Thinking of this, many students who have been on the list suddenly felt balanced.
When the tax officer heard this, his face almost turned the color of pig liver. What he was most worried about finally happened.
He swallowed, licked his dry lips, bowed his hands to Qian Shao, and said with difficulty: "Qian Guanren, are you going to have a pavilion director so soon?"
"Of course, there must be a pavilion chief. From now on, civil disputes between villages will be resolved by the pavilion chief." Qian Shao stroked his beard and replied in a deep voice.
The tax number couldn't believe his ears. It felt like a thunderbolt hit his head, and it felt like someone had poured cold water on him from head to toe, making his whole body numb.
"This must have come too soon." The tax ID hesitated for a long time, with a confused look on his face, and couldn't help but say this.
Tian Meng glanced at him with a half-smile but not a smile, and said calmly: "These chiefs of the government will stand on the basis of fairness and will not have selfish motives like you, the country gentlemen and elders."
Qian Shaoyu glanced at Tian Mengwan with strict admiration, but said nothing, instead stroking his beard and drinking tea.
"Two officials serve as chiefs of the same pavilion, and the journey is usually very far. How can they go on duty?" He was a little unwilling, and his eyes lit up, and he asked.
The other students did not speak, but they were shocked when they heard this.
After all, the pavilion director is relatively remote from Zhaojiazhuang Town. He can't stay in a pavilion. What should he do?
Qian Shao and Yan Yan looked at each other and smiled faintly: "The government has already considered this. Each of the pavilion chiefs will be assigned a horse."
"What, there are horses?" The tax officer's eyes widened, as if his eyeballs could fall out of their sockets.
You know, even if they are a big family, they only have one horse, and the rest are cattle and donkeys.
Qian Shao glanced at him lightly and smiled lightly: "There are horses, but they are bad horses."
"Bad horses are also horses. There is no shortage of other horses in the Song Dynasty." The tax number was very envious of these pavilion chiefs at this time. Zhaojiazhuang Town was really wealthy and even equipped the pavilion chiefs with horses.
When they heard that the director of the pavilion actually had horses, the eyes of those students who were admitted as scholars shone.
Zhaojiazhuang is great. Not only is the treatment generous, but the chief of the pavilion is also equipped with horses.
Some scholars even considered trying to become the chief of the pavilion themselves.
If the ox carts of this era are equivalent to the cars of later generations, then the donkey carts are equivalent to luxury cars, and the horses are equivalent to the luxury cars among luxury cars.
There was no way, the Song Dynasty already lacked horses.
Before the Song Dynasty, there was still Qingtang to provide horses. After the southern crossing, Qingtang was lost and the situation worsened.
Fortunately, in the past six months, Zhaojiazhuang suddenly emerged and captured Xixian County, which gradually changed this situation.
However, since the rise of Zhaojiazhuang has not been long, only half a year, the improvement of horses is still a long-term process.
Although the Song Dynasty lacked horses, Zhaojiazhuang Town was different.
Zhaojiazhuang captured a large number of horses from the Hu people, and placed injured war horses and other inferior horses in the prefectures and counties related to Zhaojiazhuang for their official use.
The other prefectures and counties saw this and were all very angry, but there was nothing they could do against Zhaojiazhuang.
They also reported it to Yu Jie and others, and Yu Jie asked someone to reply: "It's still not possible to get horses, just snatch them from the hands of the barbarians."
Where did the horses in Zhaojiazhuang come from? They were not snatched from the hands of the barbarians.
Hearing this, the officials competing for the horses were speechless.
It's okay to ask them to talk and talk about the "Four Books and Five Classics" for three days and three nights, but it is absolutely impossible to let them go to the battlefield to fight against the barbarians.
The generals of the Song Dynasty were good. In front of civil servants and even scribes, they could be restrained and would not even say a word even when insulted.
But the barbarians would not talk to these literati, but would directly go to war with them.
Now that Yu Jie, the envoy of the system, has spoken, they have no choice but to consider themselves unlucky.
When Huang Dong heard this, his eyes kept rolling, and he suddenly had an idea.
After dinner, he carried two fish and came to the official residence of Zhaojiazhuang to inquire about the residence of Qian Shao, the county magistrate.
Qian Shao is the county magistrate. He has a nice house with an area of about one acre.
Not only is it two floors, there is also a courtyard in front.
Qian Shao likes bamboo, and there are green bamboos in the front and back of his house.
He is also a literati and likes plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, so he planted them in this courtyard to create a small garden.

It's winter now, and it's Jiangnan again, and the bamboos are still green.
Orchids and chrysanthemums are not seasonal things, there is only a plum blossom in a corner.
Smelling the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, Huang Dong suddenly felt refreshed and extremely comfortable.
Qian Shao also had a concierge, who was Qian Hun, a member of his clan.
After Qian Shao became the Prime Minister of Zhaojiazhuang County, the Qian family became prosperous and had to settle their own people.
Qian Hun is young, no more than sixteen years old, and looks as thin as a monkey.
He didn't read many books, but he was smart and quick to respond. Qian Shao arranged for him to be his concierge.
Seeing the concierge here, Huang Dong frowned and was a little worried.
But he thought that he was already here and went up bravely.
Seeing Huang Dong carrying two carps, he looked stunned, wondering what Huang Dong was doing.
Huang Dong was dressed as a scholar and bowed his hands to him: "Brother, please inform me and tell me that the scholar Huang Dong wants to see you."
Qian Hun was a scribe and a scholar, so he did not dare to neglect him.
He nodded and immediately went in to report.
Qian Shao was reading in the study and felt strange when he heard that the scholar Huang Dong was visiting.
"Please come in quickly." He put down the book in his hand and told Qian Hun.
