I spent the next time reading books in the courtyard, and sometimes I went to listen to my husband's lectures. The teachers here were mainly candidates and scholars, except for the dean. He basically doesn't attend classes. Not to mention judging people, the level is definitely not bad, even the scholar is also very good, in Li Miao's opinion, he is no worse than judging people.
As a scholar, being able to be a teacher in a government academy definitely has obvious advantages in the professional field. Li Miao gradually began to realize that he underestimated the world's heroes. My level should only be above the average level among scholars.
How many scholars have been there for decades, and many of them are motivated? Their level is very high. It seems that I can't relax yet. I will have to read more books after arriving in Jinling. I have gained a lot in the courtyard this time. Ten days later, Li Miao asked her husband for leave, saying that she was going to Jinling to prepare for the exam. There were still many cases like this in the academy, so Mr. Fuyuan immediately agreed.
Li Miao brought two shopkeepers, Zhang Min and Zhang's father and son. Set off back home two days later. Standing on the bow of the boat, Li Miao was full of elegance and completely integrated into the moment. He had only been in this world for more than a year, and he already had a reputation as a scholar. From then on, the Li family was no longer a farmer, but a scholarly family. It was he who changed the family, and he was worthy of his family, clan, and neighbors.
Before their group reached the entrance of the village, two clan chiefs, elders of the two clans, and a group of villagers walked out of the village three miles to greet them. Originally, everyone was going to the town to greet him, but they didn't know when Li Miao would return, so they sent a team of escorts to wait at the pier. This player has quick feet. I go to a noodle shop to eat almost every day, six times a day. Is it okay? Therefore, after the village received the news, they could only wait three miles away.
There were only a few scholars in the village, and they were selected by the government to help build the memorial arch. This shows that their status may not be obvious in Changzhou Prefecture. It's amazing to go to the village. The first scholar in the history of the village, not to mention the current Li clan leader, even the Hu clan clan leader is vaguely united around Li Miao.
They were originally from the same village and were related by marriage. After all, although grandma is now a member of the Li clan, she is also from the Hu clan. Rich has distant relatives in the mountains. What's more, the four escorts named Hu in a village will definitely contribute, so their interests have long been tied together.
"Congratulations to the scholar for winning the title." "Congratulations to Li Xiucai." "We all rejoice." Back home, it was an even more touching scene. Grandma was in tears. Since last year, the situation at home has gradually improved. Li Miao started his business in a noodle shop and earned a thousand taels of silver a month, so the conditions at home are getting worse and worse. Okay, but virtue is not suitable. Although there is a big mountain like Yuan Li standing on the top, there is no worries for the time being, but what about the future?
What is the concept of earning a thousand taels of silver a month? For good paddy fields, the average annual profit is around two taels of silver. That one thousand acres of good paddy fields, two seasons a year, only earns two thousand taels of silver a year. The best paddy fields in the village total only five to six hundred acres. So the entire income of six or seven villages like theirs was given to just one person. Grandma is also proficient in secular affairs, so now her grandson finally has the reputation of being a scholar. So this industry is no longer a problem.
As two generations of widows, they relied on Li Miao to grow a single seedling. Now they have finally come to the end of their hardships. The mother is also rarely happy to hold her son's hand and look at the scholar's uniform on his son. It's so beautiful. How can it not be beautiful? Basically never seen. Next, the two clan leaders and the general manager arranged the donation. Not to mention the family members of the original escort team, a total of 220 acres were donated in total. Originally, the Li family had more than ten acres of land, and there were two households with long-term workers, so the total land was nominally 250 acres.
Although the scholar is exempted from the land tax of 100 acres, and there is still 150 acres, the Li family acts as an agent, which can save a lot of exploitation. After all, a scholar is considered a person in a county, and not kneeling before an official is in itself He became an official in the clan, so his clan members and villagers surrendered to him, and he was equivalent to their protector. When the villagers went out, their chests would be much taller and taller.
There is a scholar in the village. He is a person who can speak in the yamen, and most people don't dare to mess with him. If you wait until the second half of the year, more people in the village will donate to Li Miao if he wins the election. In this world, if you are prosperous, if you cannot take good care of your tribe and neighbors. No matter where you go, you will be stabbed in the spine.
