In this way, a policy article came out.
Compared with other candidates, he took one more step, so after failing six times, he not only passed the exam this time, but also ranked first.
"That's the title."
After Li Qiao was surprised, he sighed: "That is indeed a coincidence."
It was he who got it right and guessed the idea of the current emperor's question.
Others say that the Sacred Heart is difficult to predict, but looking at what the Holy One means, it is obvious that people are deliberately guessing it.
"So, brother, it's really all your credit that I was able to pass the exam this time!"
"No, no, no, if it weren't for Brother Wen who studied hard for the past thirty years, you wouldn't be where you are now. You can pass the exam because of yourself."
"If I had been useful on my own, would I have failed six times before? It is indeed your credit that I passed the exam the seventh time!"
Zhuang Wen insisted on this.
Other Zhuang family members also nodded, especially Zhuang Wu and Zhuang Quan. Their uncle and nephew had listened to Zhuang Wen talking about it countless times in the past few days.
So at this time they spoke up and asked Li Qiao to recognize this contribution.
In addition, Li Qiao was asked to set a price. They had to buy the grain-soy milk and egg-filled cake recipes, and they could not take advantage of Li Qiao.
Seeing that Li Qiao couldn't shirk it, he could only ask Zhuang Wen: "Brother Wen, are you making money now by doing business with these two kinds of snacks?"
"Not yet." Zhuang Wen shook his head.
"Then if you become an official in the future, will you make money from these two snacks?" Li Qiao continued to ask.
"Ahem, I have just passed the scholar examination, and I am far away from becoming an official. In my life, I will only be a scholar at 80%. But if I can become a minor official one day, I will definitely make money with these two kinds of food, so that I can reserve money and supplies. .”
Li Qiao couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "That's it. Even if you make money with these two things in the future, you still need to reserve food, money and supplies. The money you earn does not go into your private pocket. You I am busy working for the people, so there is no need to give me the money for this prescription."
"Uh..." Zhuang Wen frowned, this really made sense: "But I can't let you suffer."
"I didn't suffer a loss." Li Qiao shook his head: "Brother Wen, you have also given me a lot of help during this period. If I pass the scholar examination in the future, it will definitely be due to you."
"So, since we help each other, there is no need to raise any money."
Zhuang Wen: "..."
He was almost convinced.
At this time, Zhuang Fengshou on the side said: "Li Qiao, the help you gave Xiaowen is unique. But what Xiaowen gave you is something that any master can give. The two are different."
"It's all sincere help, and it looks the same to me."
Li Qiao raised his wine glass as he spoke: "Let's not talk about this big day. Come, come, drink, and celebrate Brother Wen."
Banker: "..."
So, after some pushing and giving, the banker was finally defeated.
Zhuang Wen could only say: "If you don't understand anything from now on, just come to me."
"With Brother Wen's words here, I will bother you more often in the future."
Li Qiao agreed unceremoniously.
After thirty years of hard work, Zhuang Wen's basic skills were extremely solid. What he needed most was this kind of tutor.
In the past six months, he had been reading "Historical Records" and "Hanshu", comparing them with the relevant commentaries and reading them sentence by sentence. After reading two large volumes in succession, he was a little dizzy.
He is now sitting in his study, spending one-third of his time practicing supernatural powers...
With his unremitting efforts, although he was dizzy, his superpower had broken through to level two in the past few days.
It can be considered a gain.
Therefore, what he said about helping each other just now was sincere. Now he needs the master to tell him the content first so that he can find the joy of learning again.
Zhuang Wen is very suitable for this role.
Zhuang Wen has been reading for thirty years. He has not only read the Four Books, Five Classics and Three Histories and Three Biographies, but also other books. It can be said that Zhuang Wen has read all the books in Pingcheng bookstore.
It is no exaggeration to describe Zhuang Wen as "Xue Fu Wu Che".
When Zhuang Wen discussed knowledge with him, he quoted from many sources and could tell some relevant things casually. No matter whether these events are interesting or boring, they are much better than his boring study.
Moreover, Zhuang Wen did not drop his book bag when he spoke, taking care of his poor foundation, and used the most understandable language to explain when citing scriptures.
Zhuang Wen indeed solved a lot of his doubts and gave him a lot of help. He will really trouble Zhuang Wen often in the future.
It was already evening when we came out of the banker.
It was a lively time in the village. People who worked in the fields had all returned home. Everyone saw Li Qiao and Tao Zhu and greeted them one after another.
Others stuffed green wheat ears into their hands: "Roast this on the fire, it will be delicious."
In the past, people in Sanliu Village would not do such extravagant things.
Wheat is precious. How can you pick the ears before the wheat is fully mature? This is not a complete waste of money.
But now, after working in a big job last winter, each household earned at least more than 20 taels of silver from the labor in the sweet potato + sweet potato workshop.
At its craziest time, the sweet potato workshop could produce 1,500 kilograms of vermicelli a day, with Li Qiao accounting for 20% and the public accounting for 80%, and each person could earn a salary of 100 Wen per day!
This vote last winter directly earned every household money back in the next ten or twenty years. In addition, if they can continue to earn money this winter, they will naturally be willing to live a luxurious life.
Like this kind of wheat ears that have been filled but are still green. After roasting, they have a strong aroma of wheat, are very strong, and taste particularly good.
Li Qiao took the ear of wheat and thanked him with a smile.
The folks didn't give much, so he just took it.
Back home, Li Chuntao was making dinner.
Originally, they were tired of eating egg-filled pancakes, but today the egg-filled pancakes made a small contribution in Zhuang Wen's hospital examination, so let's eat egg-filled pancakes tonight!
Of course, the wheat ears given by the villagers also need to be roasted. Li Qiao took them because he wanted to eat the roasted wheat ears.
At the dinner table, Li Dashan ate egg-filled pancakes and said, "Uncle, I found that the scholar examination is quite useful. How about you choose from among our children to see who can take the imperial examination."
It's great to take the exam to be a scholar.
Not only can the land allocated to him by the court be exempted from taxes, he can also be exempted from corvee, and he does not have to kneel down when meeting the county magistrate.
Moreover, after becoming a scholar, you are no longer a dirt-legged person digging in the land, and you can open a private school to earn money.
"Didn't you say you want your children to study?" Li Qiao asked him.
"I'm not married yet, and my child is gone."
Li Dashan shook his head: "There are many children in our family now."
"Then who do you think can calm down and study." Li Qiao continued to ask him.
"this……"
Li Dashan paused.
Ershan and Xiaoshan were indeed not good at studying. He had been teaching them for more than half a year, but they still knew less than forty characters.
Together, these two people couldn't even leave eighty cents for his brother-in-law!
Girls and boys could not take the imperial examination, and the remaining ones were Li Dong from his uncle Chunsheng's family.
Li Dong is a bit stronger than Ershan and Xiaoshan, but he is also a naughty child and does not seem to be able to calm down and study.
As for the children of Li Dazhong and Li Dacheng's family, they are too young now.
Well, the house has been busy all day long, but after searching carefully, I can't find anyone who can take the imperial examination.
It would be great if the little brother could take the imperial examination. Li Xia and Li Yu'an both have quiet tempers and can sit still very well.
After only studying with him for half a year, one of them knew more than 200 characters, and the other knew more than 100 characters. When he and Li Chuntao were too busy, Li Yu'an could help him keep accounts.
It's a pity that in Dasheng, the younger brother can't take the imperial examination.
He frowned: "Is it possible that this burden really has to fall on me and Brother Qian?"
"You marry Brother Qian back first." Li Qiao glared at him: "Don't say such things casually, as it will ruin Brother Qian's reputation."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Li Dashan immediately slapped his mouth.
well.
Brother Qian is really hard to chase.
He bought something, but Brother Qian didn't accept it.
He is usually busy making snacks and has no time to hang around behind Brother Qian's butt.
However, the two times he made Brother Qian angry, both times came from his mouth. Well... From now on, he should talk less in front of Brother Qian. If he must speak, he must use sweet words and avoid his brother-in-law. Various surprises mentioned in the guide.
Li Dashan's thoughts were on Zheng Qianqian, so the mention of the imperial examination was just casual. But other people in the village looked at the banker's beaming look, and then looked at their current wealth, their hearts were ready to move.
In the past, Zhuang Wen failed to pass the examination for 30 years. Villagers in Sanliu Village generally believed that it was difficult to become a scholar, much more difficult than growing crops.
There is also a negative example of the original person. He was very smart when he was a child, but he became a bad student soon after he went to school in the county town.
In addition, the family did not have enough money to support scholars, so in the past, the villagers in Sanliu Village had no idea about studying.
But now, they have an idea.
The privileges of a scholar are incomparable to those of a master, but if compared with ordinary people, it is still very eye-catching.
Otherwise, just give it a try?
Even if you can't pass the examination as a scholar, it's still good if you can recognize a few words.
No matter how strong the learning atmosphere is in Li Qiao's family, the Li family doesn't expect those children to take the imperial examination, just to be blind and to help Li Qiao in business.
If their children are also literate, then when the Li Qiao family recruits new people in the future, their children will definitely be given priority.
If that doesn't work, you can also go to the county town to find work.
But there are no private schools here in Sanliu Village, not only in the ten miles and eight villages, but not even in the town.
The nearest private school is in the county seat.
If you study in the county, it will cost a lot, and it is easy to learn bad things. This is how Li Qiao was ruined in the past.
So, some people with lively minds approached Zhuang Fengshou after the villagers hosted a banquet for the whole village and asked him if he could find a scholar to open a private school in the village.
