"Let's go to the bookstore!"
He asked a few people to go home first and lead the cattle cart.
Because the exam shed was very close to the rented yard, they walked to the exam shed.
After going back and putting down the test basket, they took the bullock cart out and the group of six people went straight to the nearest bookstore.
After visiting three bookstores in a row, they finally found the Holy Spirit's masterpiece this month.
This article can no longer be called a small composition, it is a big composition.
The article wrote in detail about the sweet potato craze in Pingcheng. Not only Li Qiao's name appeared, but also place names such as Sanliu Village and Zhujia Village.
Even the amount of money brought to farmers from sweet potatoes is clearly stated. In addition, the current situation of villages such as Sanliu Village is compared with the living standards of previous years.
Finally, he praised Li Qiao a few words and hoped that there would be more talents like Li Qiao.
After Li Qiao read it, the shame that had been suppressed enveloped him again. This is not a short essay, this is an investigation report.
He wrote it in such detail, are you afraid that people in the world won’t be able to remember his name?
If he did not take the imperial examination, he would be lucky to have such a small essay.
But now he is a candidate.
From now on, everyone in the world will pay attention to his imperial examination articles, which is a lot of pressure.
After sighing, Li Qiao took a thin booklet and prepared to check out. Each of the saint's short compositions was made into a booklet, just like a book.
But Tao Zhu stopped him. How could he only buy one copy of the short composition written specially for him by the Holy Spirit?
Tao Zhu bought hundreds of essays from this bookstore with a wave of his hand.
Hey!
This is going to be a family heirloom!
Put a few copies in the money box, put a few copies in a conspicuous place in the study or bedroom, and give a few copies to relatives and friends, perfect!
Li Qiao: "..."
That's all, as long as Tao Zhu is happy.
Tao Zhu was indeed very happy. On the way back, he saw a restaurant and generously packed more than ten dishes, which cost dozens of taels of silver. The curfew was coming soon, so they had no choice but to pack.
After returning home, the six of them happily ate and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Tao Zhu was in high spirits. He took Li Qiao to take a mandarin duck bath. He had fun once in the tub, and continued to have fun when he returned to bed. He didn't stop until he was so tired that he couldn't lift his fingers.
His body and brain were very tired, but Tao Zhu didn't want to sleep. When Li Qiao passed him and returned to the bed, he rolled directly into Li Qiao's arms.
Finding a comfortable position and fully burying his body in Li Qiao's arms, he said in a hoarse voice: "I forgot to ask, how did you write the article?"
Li Qiao smiled when he heard this: "Finally remembered to ask about something serious?"
After he left the examination room after the first day's test, Tao Zhu was still waiting for him outside, but this time, when he was facing off against Huang Youming, Meng Yue, and Xu Ying, he took Tao Zhu with him and asked Tao Zhu to sit next to him. Listen in.
Tao Zhu couldn't go to the examination room in person, so he wanted Tao Zhu to be exposed to every process outside the examination room.
This trick worked very well for him. In addition, he said that the head of the case was brought back by his husband together, so Tao Zhu's mood was not low this time. Even if he couldn't understand what they were talking about, he was still in a good mood. .
It was the same yesterday, but I was so happy today that I didn't think of asking him until now.
"Your Majesty's article is also serious business." Tao Zhu said and arched her arms into his arms. Her face was just buried in the crook of his neck, so she opened her mouth and bit his neck gently: "Say quickly."
"Okay, okay, I said." Li Qiao endured the numbing touch and held his body tighter with her big hands.
After Li Qiao finished speaking, Tao Zhu couldn't help but break away from his arms and lay face to face with him. His eyes were still wide and round: "Is this okay for you to write like this?"
Tao Zhu knew Li Qiao's method: give specific operations and take one step more than the other candidates.
But the article written by Li Qiao today has nothing to do with this method.
Is this okay?
"I don't know if it will work, but I do want to write it this way." Li Qiao said, grabbing his hand and bringing it to his lips and kissing it: "I just want to write it this way."
"…Since you want to, then I support you."
Tao Zhu swallowed back the worry that came to his lips.
Anyway, this person has already written this, so there is no use worrying at this time.
Moreover, after listening to this person's analysis, he also felt that writing it like this was good, but he didn't know if it would scratch the itch of the prefect.
But regardless of whether it can be scratched or not, this government examination is over.
He said: "What shall we do tomorrow?"
"Well... Meng Yue and Xu Ying will definitely come to see me. Let's go shopping the next day."
You can escape today, but you cannot escape tomorrow.
Meng Yue and Xu Ying will definitely come to him.
The Holy Spirit's little essay gave him a huge boost of popularity, from the attention of the whole government to the attention of the entire city.
But there are benefits.
The vermicelli sales problem that Jiang Zhixian and Ming Zhifu are worried about should be solved.
Although Jiang Zhixian and Ming Zhifu are official officials, they are too young. In addition, there is no Internet at this time and transportation is not convenient, so they cannot open up the market for vermicelli.
But now that the Shengshang's article is published, it is equivalent to advertising the vermicelli throughout Dasheng. In this way, big businessmen from other places will take the initiative to come to Hexi Mansion when they see business opportunities.
At that time, the entire Hexi Prefecture will fall into sweet potato madness.
His little money will also increase.
However, with the double protection of the Holy Emperor's imperial pen plaque and small composition, he can hold the money with peace of mind and safety.
In this way, Li Qiao slowly talked to Tao Zhu about what kind of chain reaction this short composition would cause. Although these changes were very good, the two of them were really tired, so gradually, Li Qiao made no sound, and the two hugged each other. Falling into a sweet dream together.
When I woke up again, the bright sunlight filtered in through the brand-new window paper, illuminating the room brightly.
Listen carefully, the backyard is quiet.
But there were voices in the front yard, but they were low and far away, so he couldn't hear them clearly.
Meng Yue and Xu Ying should be here.
Thinking like this, he lowered his head to look at Tao Zhu in his arms and wanted to get up.
When he lowered his head, he saw Tao Zhu opening his eyes in a daze. Tao Zhu also woke up. Their biological clocks were always the same.
So the two exchanged a kiss first, then got up and opened the door.
Zheng Qianqian was sitting in the courtyard facing the door of their room in a daze. When she saw the couple coming out, she immediately got up and walked towards them.
"Brother Zhu, Brother Qiao, there are many scholars outside, all visiting Brother Qiao. Mr. Huang said that Brother Qiao hasn't gotten up yet, but they refused to leave and kept waiting. There are more than thirty people at this time. People."
"...Not Meng Yue and Xu Ying?" Li Qiao was surprised.
"No, the Xu family sent someone over, saying that you need to rest and come visit you the next day."
Li Qiao: "..."
OK.
Meng Yue and Xu Ying are very considerate.
However, thinking of the people outside, he immediately wanted to take Tao Zhu back to the house and continue sleeping.
Of course, this can only be imagined.
There were so many people waiting and he had to go out and socialize.
So Li Qiao spent this day socializing.
The scholars who came today all have a good impression of him. Although these people find it difficult to write this policy article, they do not vent their resentment on him. These people want to make friends with him and build relationships with him.
Li Qiao will definitely be named the leader of the case this time. As long as Li Qiao continues to take the imperial examination, every examiner will let him pass. Therefore, Li Qiao will definitely be able to rush to the imperial examination in one go.
In the palace examination, he was standing in front of the Holy One. At this time, the Holy One gave him a plaque and wrote a small essay. He protected and supported Li Qiao. As long as Li Qiao did not commit suicide, would the Holy One slap him in the face during the palace examination? ?
Definitely not.
Li Qiao will surely soar into the sky.
Before he really takes off, they should get to know him first. Now that I am familiar with Li Qiao, I will have another backer in the future.
Although they are not from the same county, they are from the same prefecture. When Li Qiao becomes an official in the court in the future, the entire Hexi Prefecture will be his home.
Moreover, regardless of the selfishness of looking for a backer, they only looked at Li Qiao's own talents. These people all admired Li Qiao. Everyone was a candidate with a narrow vision, but Li Qiao was able to write such a complete poem at such a young age. The article is awesome!
What impressed them even more was that Li Qiao not only wrote articles, but also had practical practices. The articles and practices demonstrated each other and complemented each other. It was awesome!
Therefore, the purpose of these people today is very simple. Even if they cannot establish a relationship as a backer, it is still good to ask Li Qiao for advice at this time.
They wanted to discuss with Li Qiao his experience in writing policy papers.
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, this policy article has often been published, catching them off guard.
They have made countless preparations before the exam, but when they actually go to the exam room, the policy questions will still give them new shocks.
When others ask for advice, Li Qiao doesn't hide his secrets. Although these people are competitors with him, in the big picture, these people are the reserves of scholars, the reserves of people, and the reserves of officials.
If these people really get inspiration from him and work for the welfare of the people when they become officials in the future, then they can be considered as having contributed to the paradise of Dasheng.
Even if they can't become an official, or even pass the scholar examination, just by passing the county examination, these people have a certain say in their respective villages.
These people use the experience and methods they learned from him in their own homes and villages to make their homes and villages better, which is equivalent to maintaining this paradise.
Moreover, he only gave an outline of what he had summarized and did not give specific ways to make money. For example, he shared with Zhuang Wen the method of filling pancakes with grains, soy milk and eggs, but he did not give them.
Therefore, it is not considered cultivating competitors.
With this idea in mind, Li Qiao did not hide his secrets and shared with these people the winning strategy secrets he and Zhuang Wen had discussed.
After these people listened, their admiration for him instantly doubled. No wonder he could write such a complete article. It turned out that he had long been able to cope with all changes by remaining unchanged.
However, when these people thought about this exam, their faces soon fell.
Specific ways to get rich…
"I thought hard for a long time, but I still couldn't figure out how to bring the villagers to make money together."
