Next, Li Miao returned to his old business of visiting bookstores, but with the addition of a little follower, Li Shi. When he first came to the capital, he asked Wang Yonggui to send a letter of greeting to his chief examiner for the provincial examination, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Yonglin. However, there has been no reply for more than half a month. It seems that Wang Yonglin is not well-liked.
Isn’t he Wang Jianqi, the clan uncle of County Magistrate Wang? Li Miao was a little confused. Wang Jianqi had a different relationship with him now. The seeds that Wang Jianqi would try to plant in the county public fields next year were provided by him, and he was considered as proud as himself.
Wang Yonglin still didn't take him seriously. Could it be that Wang Yonglin had no hope for this interview. You don't want to hang me up. Just take things as they come.
Time passed like this day by day, and Li Shi followed Li Miao around the capital. Every time he saw a bookstore, the young master would go in. The capital was very big. As time went by, Li Shi found that the young master mainly read miscellaneous books. Li Shi originally wanted to read some books as well.
He found that the young master was not very interested in these books. He flipped through one book and threw it away. Then he went to look at another one. The young master didn't find the book he wanted to read at all. Li Shi was often interested in books, and when he saw less than half of the book, the young master waved his hand and asked him to take the four treasures of the study that Li Miao bought and go to another bookstore.
Li Shi knew that the young master read in silence every night. The pens, inks, paper and inkstones at home were all consumed very quickly. According to Li Shi, there was no need to go out to read at all. He only read a small part of the books at home. These days, the young master has written several more books silently. Although it is a miscellaneous book. Li Shi flipped through it and found that the quality was no worse than those in bookstores.
Li Shi sometimes also wonders how the young master’s brain grew. He originally thought that he was already considered an alien, otherwise, he would not be hiding in the village. Although the young master did not tell me to keep the secret, I think the young master has always been He is a low-key person, and he definitely doesn’t want me to tell anyone.
It was his honor for the young master to let him follow him. In recent months, Li Shi believes that he has made great progress. From his hometown, the young master asked him to study with him. He was also asked to participate in high-level meetings between the Southern Bureau and the Northern Bureau, which seemed to open a door for him.
Let Li Shi see a broader world. No wonder the young master asked him to read the miscellaneous books at home. It seems that the young master is also taking great pains for himself. Li Shi's reading of miscellaneous books has indeed broadened his horizons. In addition, he has been following the young master. I saw what the young master and Butler Wang did.
He felt as if he was in a nutrient solution, but his absorption function was too poor. The young master said that some things must be understood by oneself. Li Shi felt that his understanding was not enough and he had to work hard. Even in this way, Li Shi still feels that his business ability has increased a lot. The article also improved unconsciously.
At this time, Li Shicai deeply realized that the young master valued him. The young master is about to take part in the examination. Still distracted from teaching myself. Even my own father and brother would find it difficult to do this. Now I can only study hard and learn more business skills. Young master always pays most attention to practical ability. I will repay Young Master's love in the future.
Li Miao didn't know what Li Shi was thinking at this time. "Are you tired? Why don't you go back first." Li Miao looked at Li Shi's lack of energy, and said that Li Shi could roughly browse the book with him. It is indeed a bit of a waste of time. "Oh, Master, I'm not tired!" Li Shi quickly seemed energetic.
Li Miao has been visiting bookstores these days, reading all kinds of books. The capital is worthy of being the capital, and there are a huge number of books. Although there are not many books about imperial examinations, there are many kinds of miscellaneous books, and the variety and quantity are not comparable to those in Jinling City. He was absorbing it quickly like a sponge. Li Miao has gained a lot recently and has a deeper understanding of this world.
Especially in medical books. Although there were still few prescriptions, he saw several prescriptions. He read several books on medicines and medicinal properties. Compared with the books he originally read, the capital was the sea of books, and he felt that he was one step closer to being a miracle doctor.
He didn't know if it was because of the growth of Tao Yun. Li Miao feels that there is still a good chance that he will be tested this time. Since practicing double cultivation with Ke'er, Li Miao's Taoist charm has increased due to a soul fusion. His writing is no longer at the level of the examination, and has obviously improved a lot.
After adding what I saw along the way to the capital, many things that were previously unclear suddenly became clear. He felt that if he visited all the bookstores in Beijing, it would not be difficult to pass the exam, which meant that the title of Jinshi was not that difficult for him. The key is ranking.
Originally, Li Miao came to the capital this time with the attitude of giving it a try. Even if he fails to win the imperial examination this time, he can still see a lot of books in the capital, which makes the trip worthwhile. But plans can't keep up with changes. Now he is thinking about becoming a Jinshi.
As Wang Yonggui said before, the second-level scholarship is at the lower end, and the third-level scholarship has a ceiling when it comes to becoming an official, and the starting point is half lower. Just like the magistrate of their county, Wang Jianqi, he is the second best. I have been an official for almost seven years now. Only then did he become the magistrate of Jintan County.
It stands to reason that the county magistrate in Jiangnan is also good. But he is only at the seventh level. Therefore, he still wants to improve a little more and strive to break into the second-tier league. Maybe you will have more luck. Of course, taking the exam also depends on luck. His luck has been stable so far and he should have a chance. After all, the bigger the official, the more beneficial his seed promotion plan will be.
In addition, he has always watched Li Shi's performance. Although only thirteen years old. But this guy has a bright future. He will be admitted to the Juren Examination in a few years. It shouldn't be a big problem. In the future, he might even be able to become a Jinshi. The key depends on the quality of the imperial examination books and other related books you collect.
Although Li Shi is young, he is calm and majestic, and with a little training, he has a bright future. At present, it seems that among the people under his command, Li Shi is the most promising. What Li Miao values more is his ability to do things. So take Li Shi with you and train him well. He can become his right-hand man in the future.
On this day, Li Miao, Li Shui and Wang Yonggui. We sat in the living room together. Li Shi was still standing behind Li Miao. Li Shui also had a wry smile on his face, "Hu Yi, Hu Er, Li Liu, and Li Jiu all fell in love with the girls from Tongzhou Farm. There are girls from farmers' families, and there are girls from slave families."
Hu Er and Li Jiu spent all day training Zhuang Ding in Zhuangzi. Hu Yi and Li Liu often went to give advice. After all, for a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, this is the period when the secretion of progesterone is strong. Over time, I fell in love with some of the women in the farm. To be honest, it was time for them to get married.
Li Miao looked at Butler Wang who was slightly thoughtful. "Butler Wang, what do you think?" Wang Yonggui said, "I think it's okay, but they are just slaves, and they need to return their status." "That's it. Choose a date and hold a collective wedding for them." Li Miao smiled and waved.
