"No. 78, Li Qiao. Li Qiao is really the head of the case!"
"It's really nothing new. I thought the result would be different."
"Are you naive? The Holy Emperor's award is on Li Qiao. He must be the leader of this case."
"Tsk tsk, then congratulations in advance to Li Qiao to pass all the way and pocket all three yuan!"
"Eh? Why are you still posting it? Both lists have been released."
At this time, someone noticed that the government servant who posted the list took out another piece of paper from the tray and continued to paste it on the wall.
What is this going to be posted on?
Apart from the two rankings, are there any other major events today?
"This, this is a paper!"
Someone soon recognized that it was the paper specially used for the county examination.
The chaotic discussion stopped immediately, and everyone looked at the wall in confusion. What are you doing with the papers?
Whose test paper is this?
After seeing the words on the paper clearly, Li Qiao had the urge to cover his face.
This is his test paper!
And it’s also the policy topic of the final game.
Judging from his handwriting, it was indeed a public execution.
"This...this is..."
The people standing at the front couldn't help but squeeze forward. The words on the test paper were too small, and they couldn't see clearly even if they were standing at the front.
At this time, the yamen servant holding the gong in his hand struck the gong hard, with a loud bang, and the scene fell into silence.
The yamen officer looked at the people in front of him with puzzled faces, snorted coldly, and shouted loudly: "The test paper posted now is the examination paper of Li Qiaoli, who is not convinced, just take out your own policy essay and compete with Li Qiaoli. .”
"If you think you can't compare to Chief Li, then shut up and make up random rumors to slander the magistrate's innocence. Thirty canes!"
Li Qiao: "..."
That's awesome, Jiang Zhixian.
The others were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but push forward, hum, let's compete!
They had found out Li Qiao's past very clearly before. In the past, Li Qiao had studied in a private school for ten years and could not even memorize the Four Books and Five Classics.
Why is he now the leader of the case?
They are not convinced!
With this dissatisfaction, the group of people quickly crowded in front of Li Qiao's policy topic. Those behind could not see clearly, so they could only hurry up and urge those in front to take a look.
The people in front of me, who could see clearly, had disdain on their faces at first. Just this word, it looked like it was written by an eight-year-old child. Ha, it was just like the rumor, after ten years of studying, I accomplished nothing!
But soon, the contempt on their faces froze. This, this article...
Huh?
Do you still want to make money for the government?
…
Yes, if you don’t have money, how can you buy sophisticated weapons and raise more soldiers?
Therefore, their articles are just empty talk and cannot be turned into reality at all.
…
Soon, the first batch of people who had finished reading the article squeezed out in despair.
The first group of people left, and the second group came on top. Just like the first group, they showed disdain at first, then shut their mouths and left in despair.
"Hahaha, Brother Li, your article is wonderful and thorough! I admire it, I really admire it."
Meng Yue also finished reading. He laughed and walked towards Li Qiao, congratulating Li Qiao again.
The same is true for Xu Ying. Li Qiao took the case and he was sincerely convinced.
Li Qiao: "..."
Looking at the smiling faces of the two people in front of him, and then looking at the candidates who were closing their mouths when they were almost gone, he couldn't help but sigh, his magistrate is really awesome.
At this time, Tao Zhu, Zhuang Wen and his wife, and shopkeeper Wang all came over.
Shopkeeper Wang has a lot of things to do and came relatively late.
Zhuang Wen, his wife and shopkeeper Wang congratulated Li Qiao.
Tao Zhu couldn't help but grab Li Qiao's hand and hold it hard, with a big smile on his handsome face. This man's hard work was not in vain, not in vain!
Mr. Li, hey, that sounds great!

The author has something to say:
Ahem, it’s late again.
Send small red envelopes to everyone.
Chapter 76 Celebration Heading to Fucheng
After passing the county examination, it was actually not worth the yamen's special trip to Sanliu Village to announce the good news. After all, there was no hard and fast rule for being admitted as a scholar.
Whether you want to announce the good news or not depends entirely on the Yamen servant.
But the honor of being the head of the case was unusual, and Li Qiao had a special status. Therefore, the government officials first smiled and congratulated Li Qiao, and then said they were going to Sanliu Village to announce the good news.
Seeing this, Li Qiao smiled and gave them ten taels of silver to let them go first.
As for him and Tao Zhu, they were going to pay homage to Magistrate Jiang.
Not only did Jiang Zhixian not fear the rumors, he also defeated them forcefully, which Li Qiao admired.
Li Qiao Taozhu said goodbye to Meng Yue, Xu Yingchen Hua, Shopkeeper Wang, and Zhuang Wen and his wife, and then drove the ox cart to the tea shop to buy some high-quality tea.
To avoid being accused of bribery, they only bought tea.
When they arrived at the county government office, Magistrate Jiang received the couple in the meeting hall next to the lobby.
Li Qiao first thanked Jiang Zhixian and named him as the head of the case, which was equivalent to recommending him to be a scholar.
Because under normal circumstances, the examiners of the government examinations and hospital examinations will not slap the magistrate in the face, but will allow the person in charge of the case to pass the government examinations and hospital examinations smoothly for the sake of the magistrate's face.
This is a great favor and must be thanked.
Of course, it was impossible for Li Qiao to point out such unspoken rules, so he only mentioned two items: the kindness of knowing someone and clarifying rumors.
Jiang Zhixian stroked his beard and saw Li Qiao becoming more and more satisfied.
Very good, no matter whether he received a commendation from the Holy One, or became the head of the case at this time, or was in the vortex of rumors, he was always neither arrogant nor impetuous, and cautious in his words and deeds.
Young people have a very stable mentality.
"Although your poems are poor, your articles are good. The Holy Father once said that poems are flowers, and pragmatic articles are the skeleton. Dasheng can be without flowers, but it cannot be without the skeleton. Therefore, your case is justified."
"……I see."
Li Qiao suddenly realized.
"However, the case is both honor and pressure. Xiao Li, you have to shine in the government and college examinations. So many people are watching."
Jiang Zhixian said again.
Li Qiao represents his vision and face. Next, Li Qiao will go to Fucheng to take the provincial examination. This is a competition with the candidates in the entire province.
Li Qiao can't just shine in Pingcheng. If he leaves Pingcheng and competes with candidates from other counties, he must also stand out and blind the eyes of candidates from other counties.
Don't let your guard down at a critical moment.
Li Qiao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. Look, the pressure is really coming.
This case is hot to handle.
"Our magistrate has always been pragmatic and pragmatic, caring about the emperor's needs and thinking about what the emperor wants. No, because our sweet potato workshop was a great success, so the magistrate wanted Peishui County next door to learn from our experience to make vermicelli, so that Peishui County The farmers also became rich."
After talking about the imperial examination, Jiang Zhixian talked about vermicelli again.
Right now, it is certain that he will jump up and down the ladder by relying on vermicelli. As the governor of the first government, he naturally wants to accumulate achievements for promotion.
"Last year, I gave the ventilation to all the vendors in Fucheng in advance, so although we make a lot of vermicelli, we don't have to worry about sales."
Most of the 10,000 kilograms of vermicelli went into the hands of merchants of all sizes in Fucheng.
Some also flowed into the hands of vendors in several surrounding counties. This part is too small and can be ignored.
Pingcheng belongs to Hexi Prefecture, and Hexi Prefecture belongs to the original He Province.
Big vendors in Fucheng transport vermicelli to other provinces, either north or south. Anyway, the vermicelli can be stored for a long time and can withstand the long journey.
Small vendors in Fucheng transport vermicelli to several other provinces in Yuanhe Province.
Therefore, relying on the large and small traders in Fucheng, these tens of thousands of kilograms of vermicelli can be consumed.
But if we come to another county, that may not be the case.
The number of large and small vendors is limited, coupled with the inconvenient transportation, the vermicelli is very heavy, and the vermicelli does not have a shelf life, so it is best to eat it in the same year it was made.
If Peishui County has a sweet potato craze like Pingcheng, if vendors in Hexi Prefecture are unable to transport this year's vermicelli to other places in time, the vermicelli will be backlogged in sweet potato workshops.
How can this be done?
This is absolutely not possible. Vermicelli must be cashed out quickly, and sweet potato workshops must settle workers’ wages every ten days.
Jiang Zhixian himself had few connections, and the magistrate's connections were not extensive, so he could not find a reliable sales channel for the vermicelli for a while.
Therefore, Jiang Zhixian straightened his back and refused to give in.
Jiang Zhixian is willing to save political achievements for the magistrate, but this cannot affect his political achievements, nor can it affect the sales of Pingcheng vermicelli.
