"Who says it isn't? I can only talk, alas."
…
These people sighed, how could they possibly figure out a way to make their hometown rich in just one day.
Let alone their hometown, they have not figured out how to make their own family rich.
Making oneself rich is as difficult as the imperial examination.
Let the fellow villagers also become rich, my God, it is even harder than reaching the sky.
Li Qiao was helpless as he listened to these wailings.
This is a headache for even His Majesty. Otherwise, why would His Majesty come up with such a policy topic? Isn't it just to let these reserve officials focus on this aspect.
After these people finished wailing, they couldn't help but ask Li Qiao how he wrote this policy article. Looking at the faces full of curiosity in front of them, Li Qiao smiled and shook his head.
This has to be kept secret.
Although there is a small essay written by the Holy Lord, as long as the result is not released, everything is possible. If he is not the leader of the case, or if he is the leader of the case but the prefect does not post his article, then why should he blow himself up.
Although he really wanted to write this article, it was considered shameless in the eyes of those who were unhappy with him.
He won't blow himself up.
In this way, for three days in a row, people came to visit Li Qiao every day. On the evening of the third day, Li Qiao simply posted a notice in his yard. In the next few days, he would buy fresh things from Fucheng for his family and would not accept guests. !
After this notice was posted, the six of them went shopping before dawn on the fourth day.
First, I went to buy clothes and jewelry for Zheng Qianqian of Li Dashan. The young couple will get married when they return to the village. These items are indispensable.
There were many jewelry shops in Fucheng, and a few people randomly entered one. Prices in Fucheng were high, so Li Dashan directly gave Zheng Qianqian his money bag and asked Zheng Qianqian to buy whatever he liked.
He brought one hundred taels of silver this time just to buy things for Zheng Qianqian!
But after Zheng Qianqian took Li Dashan's money bag, he stuffed it directly into his own money bag. Now that Li Dashan had spent all the money, wouldn't he have nothing to spend after getting married?
After that business crisis, Zheng Qianqian got rid of the habit of spending money lavishly. Rouge, gouache, clothing, materials and jewelry could not make him feel at ease.
He is only satisfied if the money is honestly in his wallet.
Therefore, he only picked out a pair of exquisite silver bracelets, which cost less than twenty taels of silver, and then he did not plan to buy anything else.
When Tao Zhu saw this, he directly bought a set of silver hairpins for him. The boy's hairpins were different from the girl's. He only had hairpins, earrings, and bracelets. There were ten pieces in total, worth more than two hundred taels of silver.
Zheng Qianqian waved her hands in shock: "No, no, Brother Zhu, you make it look like I deliberately didn't spend my own money and asked you to pay for it."
He really didn't mean it!
Tao Zhu chuckled when he heard this: "You will soon become my nephew. You can no longer call me Brother Zhu. You are the junior and I am the elder. If the elder gives something to the younger, you can take it with peace of mind."
"...But this is too expensive! I don't feel at ease holding it."
Zheng Qianqian still shook her head.
If it was a few dozen taels, he would shamelessly accept it.
But this is more than two hundred taels!
"Take it, I don't give gifts to Dashan, I send red envelopes to Dashan. Brother Qian, let me tell you something you don't like to hear. I once ruined Dashan's marriage. Now that he is finally married, then I will also I can rest assured.”
"I have to thank you, Brother Qian, for being Dashan's husband and not letting him be a bachelor."
Li Qiao spoke.
Although this was a poke into Zheng Qianqian's heart, it was also what he was saying.
The original person ruined Li Dashan's marriage. Not long after he traveled through time, he got married to Tao Zhu, and they were sweet and sweet all day long.
Li Dashan, on the other hand, pursued Zheng Qianqian for two years before he achieved success.
By sending Li Dashan a big red envelope, he can finally clean up the mess left by his original body.
As expected, Zheng Qianqian pursed her lower lip when she heard Li Qiao's words, but soon started laughing again.
He knew everything about Li Dashan, including the little brother who almost married Li Dashan.
That little brother is living a good life now. He just gave birth to a fat son this year, and the family also makes a lot of money from sweet potatoes.
Li Dashan did not miss his ex-fiancé. Li Dashan followed his parents' orders and got engaged.
After getting engaged, there was no time to cultivate feelings, so Li Dashan only liked one person in his life, and that was him.
"Brother Qiao, since you know that saying this will make me unhappy, then I can't be unhappy in vain. Brother Zhu, I will really accept it." He said with a smile.
"Collect, collect, must collect."
Li Qiao also smiled: "The red envelope I gave Dashan will be given to him after I get home."
"Hey, thank you, uncle!"
Li Dashan did not refuse.
Because he knew that it was useless to refuse. Whatever his brother-in-law wanted to give him, he would eventually give it to him.
After buying jewelry for Zheng Qianqian, Li Qiao also bought a set of silver noodles for Tao Zhu. Now he is rich, and he will be richer in the future. He can buy jewelry and other things as he likes.
In addition to the head and face, he also bought some rouge and gouache.
Now he and Tao Zhu still have the habit of secretly putting on makeup, and Tao Zhu only puts it on for him to see, so rouge and gouache are an essential tool for their little couple's fun.
Of course, friends and family cannot be left out.
For example, Wang Guihua, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and Li Shu, the eldest sister is also like a mother. Li Chuntao and others also treat him very well.
It’s a rare visit to Fucheng, so I have to make a big purchase.
After a whole day of shopping, more than a thousand taels of silver were spent.
When he sat under the candle and kept accounts at night, Tao Zhu showed a rare look of distress.
However, when he thought of the packed boxes, his heartache disappeared.
This money is not thrown away in vain, it is used to buy gifts for relatives and friends, it is worth it!
In the next few days, Meng Yue, Xu Ying, and Shen Hua came to see Li Qiao. The group of people ate, played, and shopped in Fucheng, and they were very happy.
Meng Yue and Xu Ying were curious about how Li Qiao wrote this article, but no matter how they asked, Li Qiao's mouth seemed to be sealed and he refused to tell them.
Now the two of them were even more curious. They prayed every day that the magistrate Ming would name Li Qiao as the head of the case. Only in this way would they have a chance to know what Li Qiao's article was about.
Not only Meng Yue and Xu Ying were curious, but other candidates, regardless of whether they had good intentions towards Li Qiao or were unconvinced by Li Qiao, wanted to know what Li Qiao had written.
But Li Qiao was very tight-lipped. The less he could find out, the more he wanted to know.
Originally, many people were not convinced that Magistrate Ming would name Li Qiao as the head of the case. But now, everyone is praying that Magistrate Ming would name Li Qiao as the head of the case. Only in this way can they know that Li Qiao is the head of the case. What was written in the article.
In everyone's expectation, the day of the rankings finally came.
*
The author has something to say:
Chapter 79 Li Qiao’s article is the head of the case again
The place where the results are released is still outside the examination booth.
This morning, Li Qiao and others had breakfast leisurely, and then walked to the examination shed.
When they arrived, many people had gathered in front of the examination booth, and Xu Ying and Meng Yue had also arrived early.
Just like during the exam, everyone from the Xu family came. More than 20 people stayed beside Xu Ying. Li Qiao immediately stopped walking when he saw it.
After finding a corner against the wall, the six of them stopped and waited for the results to be released.
As a man of the hour, if Li Qiao cannot pass, the Xu family will come over on their own.
Those candidates who had visited him also gathered around.
A group of people surrounded Li Qiao Taozhu, Li Dashan, Zheng Qianqian, and Huang Youming and his son in a corner.
There is no suspense about the case this time, but what is Li Qiao's article about? They spent a lot of brain cells but could not come up with any specific measures. Li Qiao was the first to hand in the paper. Could it be that Li Qiao has found another way for the farmers in Pingcheng to get rich?
"Brother Li, it's already this time, so what if you reveal something?" someone couldn't help but said.
"Yes, brother Li Xian, the method you came up with will eventually be used on the farmers in Pingcheng, so you should tell everyone first."
"I didn't write any new ways to make money this time."
Li Qiao shook his head and finally revealed a little bit.
"Huh? You didn't write down any specific ways to make money?"
"Ah... didn't write it?"
"Didn't you say that only by writing can you go one step further than others?"
…
People who heard what he said immediately started asking questions.
It was obviously Li Qiao who taught them the method, but Li Qiao himself didn't use it?
"The situation is different, so I didn't write it this time." Li Qiao kept smiling: "I won't disclose the details. Everyone, wait until the results are released."
"Then the prefect must name you as the head of the case!"
"Yes, yes, I am too curious now, please ask the magistrate."
…
Li Qiao: "..."
Don't.
Never.
He doesn't need this honor.
As other candidates thought, as long as he did not seek death, he could pass all the tests and stand in front of the Holy One.
So, he really doesn't need to be in the limelight anymore.
