someone exclaimed.
Apart from Li Qiao, there is no other person whose test paper was put on the yellow list!
"No, no, no, even if he is Huiyuan, he won't post his article. This is Shengjing!"
Apparently, someone was dissatisfied.
A small place like Yuanhe Province has never seen the big world, so it held Li Qiao, a little country bumpkin, high, and even the papers were posted with great fanfare for other candidates to look up to.
But this is Shengjing!
There have been so many top picks in the past and present. Even if Li Qiao gets the top prize, he is not worthy of posting the paper!
"Maybe it's not Li Qiao's paper!"
Someone said again.
These candidates didn't want to believe the scene in front of them. If Li Qiao's paper was posted next to the yellow list, it would really put him ahead of all the candidates in this session.
Many people couldn't accept it and were noisy. Upon seeing this, the guard responsible for maintaining order slammed the gong in his hand: "Quiet!"
As soon as the gong sounded, these people did not dare to make any noise. The people standing in front of them were the Guards.
They opened their eyes wide and stared at Huang Bang without blinking.
It was similar to the situation during the provincial examination. Before the guards posted the yellow list, someone saw the name on it.
Naturally, he is happy to see his own.
But some are not very happy because the name is too late.
Those who didn't see their names were very anxious.
Soon, someone saw the name in the upper left corner of the yellow list and shouted out: "No. 58 in Qing row, Li Qiao, it's Li Qiao, this time's Huiyuan is Li Qiao!"
This voice broke the luck in the hearts of countless people, it was really Li Qiao!
Why should he? !
So many people were unconvinced that they paid less attention to the yellow list. After the yellow list was posted and they hurriedly scanned it, the examinee who didn't find his name didn't even care about being sad, but urged the guards to go. Tie Liqiao's test paper.
They wanted to see what Li Qiao wrote. Could it be that he really donated his vermicelli profits?
If this is the case, it would be shameless to win without force!
This group of people stared at Li Qiao's test paper with every possible picky. The guards did not delay. After the yellow list was posted, they immediately posted Li Qiao's article.
"Milk snack? What the hell is this?!"
"Is it really that delicious?"
"This is a general examination. Is it possible that the examiner has eaten it?"
…
After reading Li Qiao's article clearly, many people immediately started shouting.
As a Juzi, most people have a good family background and can afford milk snacks.
Milk snacks do taste good, but in the end they are just snacks. Can one snack fill the national treasury?
Just laugh your ass off!
Why did Mr. Yan rate Li Qiao's article as number one!
Just as the noise became louder and louder, Zhao Cun took the gong from the guard next to him and rang the gong. The sound of the gong was urgent and dense, suppressing everyone's voices at once. .
But he didn't stop, and the sound of the gong quickly spread around.
Now the people behind also became quiet.
He didn't stop until the entire Gongyuan entrance was quiet.
Standing on the stool, he looked at the expressions of the people below and said loudly: "The result this time is determined by the Holy One. If you are not convinced, you can go and buy it when the imperial milk snack shop opens to see if the milk snack is worth it." Huiyuan!”
After saying this, he didn't care about everyone's reaction, jumped off the stool, handed the gong to the guard beside him, and then led the two of them out along the corner of the wall.
Wherever he passed, people automatically gave way to a path.
So he came to the corner where Li Qiao was without any obstruction.
Li Qiao already knew that he had obtained the Huiyuan this time. He was telling Xin Zhi the content of his article when Zhao Cun suddenly appeared and he was stunned.
Zhao Cun stood in front of Li Qiao, first greeted Xin Zhi, and then congratulated Li Qiao, with a rare smile on his face: "Li Qiao, congratulations on your high school graduation."
Li Qiao came back to his senses, quickly saluted, and straightened up, with a smile on his face: "Thank you, sir. I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing, sir?"
"Everything is fine. Let's put off talking about old times for now. You husbands, come with me. The Holy One wants to see you."
Zhao Cundao.
"ah???"
Li Qiao was really shocked now.
Tao Zhu, there is actually Tao Zhu?
Tao Zhu goes to the palace with him?
"Let's go." Zhao Cun said and turned around.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu looked at each other, and Li Qiao took Tao Zhu's hand. He said to Li Ershan, Li Xia, and Zhuang Wen: "Go back and wait for us!"
Then he turned to Xin and said, "Mr. Xin, let's talk next time!"
Xin Zhi replied, and then fixed his gaze on Zhao Cun.
He sighed. Zhao Cun looked at him with a cold look. It seemed that his article this time was really bad.
well!
The Hall of Seeking Xian.
There are five rooms in the Qiuxian Hall. The bright room in the middle is where Sheng Hong usually reviews papers, and the secondary rooms on both sides are his study rooms.
When Li Qiao and Tao Zhu arrived, he was immersed in reviewing the papers. Apart from him, there was only Qian San, the chief eunuch, in the palace.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu knelt down and saluted Sheng Hong according to the movements Zhao Cun had just taught on the road.
"Get up." Sheng Hong put down the jade wolf brush in his hand and looked up at Li Qiao and Tao Zhu.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu stood up, their heads hanging slightly, their eyes fixed on their toes, and their bodies standing straight.
Sheng Hong looked at the two of them carefully and suddenly felt a little emotional.
When he first learned about Li Qiao's name, he really didn't expect that this young man would come to him from a small mountain village through the imperial examination road.
"I wanted to see you again during the palace examination, but the article you wrote this time was really good. In order to replenish the treasury, I summoned you today."
"Li Qiao, are you really willing to hand over the milk snacks to the imperial court?"
"The common people are willing to return to the Holy Spirit."
Li Qiao answered without hesitation.
"In that case, I can't treat you badly. I will share half of the dim sum shop's income with you. As long as the dim sum shop is open, this half share will be valid."
Sheng Hong was very satisfied with Li Qiao's straightforwardness and had a smile on his face.
This policy article involved the treasury, so the several ministers who reviewed the papers selected all the articles that seemed feasible and asked him to evaluate them.
The examiner for this examination was actually him.
The candidates came up with many ideas, like Li Qiao's. According to common sense, he had to send someone to investigate first, but Zhao Youzhi happened to enter the palace some time ago and presented him with several milk snacks.
Those snacks were made by Tao Zhu himself.
He had tasted those snacks and knew the value of those snacks, so Hui Yuan fell on Li Qiao's head.
He specially called Li Qiao here today in order to quickly open the dim sum shop.
The treasury is too empty and he can't bear it anymore.
To maintain a huge dynasty, money is needed everywhere.
"The common people should not refuse the gift from the Holy One, but the national treasury is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. The common people voluntarily handed over these snacks to the court. Instead of putting this money in the hands of the common people, it is better to use it on the people."
Li Qiao heard Sheng Hong's words and said sincerely.
"That won't work. This is your idea. How can I take it for nothing? If I don't share it with you, then in the eyes of the world, I am taking it by force. Everyone in the world is watching. Who will be willing to give me something in the future? A good strategy?"
"Moreover, the world will think that you are exchanging snacks for Huiyuan. Can you bear this? Anyway, I can't bear it. The result this time was judged by me. You took the Huiyuan this time based on your strength. I am fair. Yes, no partiality."
Sheng Hong said very simply.
Li Qiao: "..."
Good guy.
Even more persuasive than him.
But the blood in his body was surging, and there was such a wise king!
He was right when he said Dasheng was a paradise.
"This matter has been settled. You husband and wife will follow Zhao Cun out of the palace to the Royal Dessert Shop in the east of the city, and teach the cooks there how to make the snacks. I have prepared everything, just waiting for you husband and wife. If not Surprisingly, we can open tomorrow.”
Sheng Hong said again.
Li Qiao: "..."
He was at a loss for words other than good guys.
Act vigorously and resolutely!
That’s awesome, Emperor Shengping.
At the Royal Dessert Shop, Sheng Hong was indeed fully prepared, with more than fifty large and small ovens and hundreds of cooks.
There were so many people waiting to learn how to make dim sum, so Li Qiao also rolled up his sleeves and started teaching.
In order to allow more people to eat milk snacks on the first day, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu led a group of cooks to prepare a lot of goods. It was not until noon the next day that the Royal Dessert Shop opened.
Sheng Hong used the honor of being a member of the guild to advertise the Royal Dessert Shop, and the effect was so good that people queued up in the morning to wait for the opening at noon. Even with the purchase limit, it took only an hour to prepare snacks for a day and a night. sold out.
After selling out, the shop closes.
