"I have obtained a letter of approval for this matter, but it will not officially start until the various prefectures are busy with the hospital examinations. Let's think about which one you want to let go at home."

"However, let me say before that, if you can raise as much money as you can, try to get as much money as possible. Digging a canal is not a small project. It is also a ditch that causes floods. I am afraid it will be dangerous and unpredictable. I will return every year or half a year."Not coming."

Everyone panicked when they heard this, and it's good if they can come back, but they are afraid that they will never return!

But collecting money is not easy.

The corvee service in this dynasty was already harsh and heavy. Apart from the hard work of building walls, ditches, and palaces, there were also various handymen in the government., These are all without wages, and they have to pay for their own food.

They have to go to the military service every year. If they don't want to go, each household has to pay a stone of grain, which is almost a tael of silver.

Most of them have just handed over their jobs this year, and now they have this important labor service suddenly, and they have all kinds of expenses on hand, and if they have ten taels of silver left at home, they are considered well off.

This is still some people who made some money in Jiang Baiye's workshop.

It's a pity that it was about to be handed over before it had time to warm up, and everyone was heartbroken.

It is not a problem for Jiang Baiye, who has made a small fortune, to be able to accept silver as a substitute. The problem is that the autumn harvest is coming soon. If the strong labor force of Clear Water Village is confiscated again, his workshop may have to stop working.

Stopping work is not a big deal, the worst thing is to do less and grab some business from Shanyaofang.

The problem is that once these people leave, few of them really come back.

At that time, it will be a big blow to every household in Clear Water Village.

Especially among these people, there are still some strong laborers working in their own workshops.

If possible, he would naturally want to avoid this misfortune. Fortunately, Xiaosanzi and Liu Gong have returned from other places in the past two days.

And the little preparation he made in the early stage will come in handy at this time...

Both He Shi and Jiang Dazhu had some "corvet syndrome". Jiang Dazhu had served in the military before returning after a narrow escape, and ordinary people had no way not to worry about it. Jiang Baiye continued to help Lu Lizhi pack his things with a calm face.

On the second day, the two arrived at the inn near the examination room in Fucheng one day earlier. The inn looked dilapidated, but the advantage was that it was close to the examination room and the environment was quiet. Tuo He Lin booked it in advance and chose the best one.room.

At this time, as soon as the two of them entered the inn, they saw a lot of students who were taking the exam wearing Confucian robes as scholars sitting in the lobby discussing the college exam. They were nervous, drinking water frequently, and sweating.

This is not a very good quality of heart.

Those with good mental qualities were also talking about something, but they didn't talk about the content related to the exam before the exam, so as not to increase the tension. Instead, they mentioned "Mr. Qingyuan", which was a spit.

"After I finish the exam, I must go to the Hanmo Pavilion to listen to the storytelling of "Ye Jingtian". I heard that it is different from what I read, so I will go and have a look."

"Han Mo Pavilion? I'm afraid you won't be able to afford to go. My father failed to make a reservation half a month in advance. It is said that it is almost October. Mr. Yi, tsk tsk, has become a famous person now!People from Beppu came rushing to him, the audience was full, and they didn't even eat any food!"

"I heard that some people rushed to several shows in a row, and after listening to one, they wanted to listen to another one. A kid from a rich family wanted to bring Mr. Yi back to the mansion to listen. Guess what happened?"

"I will definitely be beaten up. I want to be there, and I want to beat this person!"

That's right, that dude was taught a lesson on the spot, and was taken out and never allowed to enter again. In fact, the people who walk into Hanmo Pavilion to listen to storytelling now range from ordinary people to low-key big shots.

Who knows if the person sitting next to you is the richest man or some official.

It's not that no one else has thought of sidestepping and monopolizing Mr. Yi, but in order not to offend others, Hanmo Pavilion has formulated a series of rules, and as time goes by, everyone silently abides by them.

Who doesn't want to listen to those storytelling carefully? For those who are illiterate and can't see more profound meaning, after listening to the storytelling, explain it, analyze it, and bring a bit of deductive nature, they seem to have walked into that scene personally.In the screen, it is simply lingering!

This is just "The Nightmare", Mr. Yi spent a lot of time just memorizing, analyzing, and converting those contents into storytelling.

In the short period of time that followed, relying on Mr. Qingyuan's own reputation and Mr. Yi's excellent skills, Hanmo Pavilion now quickly started preparations, planning to open another teahouse, specializing in storytelling business.

Jiang Baiye listened with gusto. During this period of time, he came to Fucheng occasionally, and he also heard the news from He Lin. It happened that a certain person was very cold and didn't even collect the money he earned.

Now when he turned his head, the person disappeared without any curiosity.

Jiang Baiye didn't follow him anymore. Apart from his parents, Granny Li and a few masters in the workshop, no one else knew about his relationship with Li Zhi, but maybe he couldn't hide it very well.The gossip-loving aunt discovered the clue.

He still had to avoid the others as much as possible, so as not to delay Li Zhi.

If so, immediately after he left, a table of students from Qingsong Academy whispered to each other.

"Have you seen, Lu Lizhi, you have a new mistress!"

"Hehe, I don't know what the background of this person is, maybe he will find a case for him again, just wait and see."

The children's examination is not like the large-scale scientific examinations at the beginning of the township examination. For many powerful people, it is not that there is no room for manipulation.

"It's so unfair, some are selling fart..."

"Hush! We don't have to let such a filthy person dirty our eyes. Even if he passes the exam again, so what, so what about Xiao Sanyuan, he will be exposed when he arrives at the rural exam... Besides, this time, Master Xuedao is not a good person.What, what will happen to him is still unknown!"

Not far away, Yu Zhijie, who also lived in this inn, had a twinkle in his eyes when he heard it, and immediately called his book boy, and whispered a few words.

That night, Mr. Tai Song Tai, the province's promotion officer, received an anonymous report letter. It was suspicious that he had seen similar content in the letter before.

The one who reported was a boy student named "Lu Lizhi". He was suffering from a mute disease.What's more is the whole Jiangshan Sheji.

Between the lines, this little boy, the head of the county and government examinations, turned out to be a witch who is a disaster for the country.

Tai Song thought it was ridiculous. He had been an examiner for many years and had seen such a trick many times. All kinds of ugly and vile inappropriate competition, these words were considered light, although the incident inside really disgusted him.

I think so, if these people want to defeat this man named Lu Lizhi, they must target the examiner's taboo.

But in Tai Song's life, he hated this kindness of Longyang the most.

Whether this Lu Lizhi is as good as Longyang or not, Tai Song doesn't care, and he doesn't care. don't know if he will be able to pass the entrance examination for a mere boy.Naturally, they would not pay attention to these malicious competitions.

But he always felt that there must be something wrong with a person who can turn himself into the point where everyone hates him.

There is a high probability that his style and conduct are really not that good, otherwise why would others only target him.

So at this moment, this candidate named "Lu Lizhi" has already drawn a big "X" in Tai Song's heart.

It should be noted that the examiner is the reviewer, and a single thought can play a decisive role in the recruitment or rejection.

Lu Lizhi didn't know the many things that happened behind this. The night before the exam, he went to bed early and was in an unusually peaceful state of mind.

Jiang Baiye told him that he had to get used to the environment and work schedule in advance, so that during the exam, sudden diarrhea or any discomfort would affect the state of the exam.

This reminded Lu Lizhi of his first two exams. He was alone, and no one took care of him. Granny Li was still sick at the time. He entered the exam room by himself throughout the whole process, and no one welcomed him when he came out.

There were several county exams and government exams. He gritted his teeth and insisted on finishing the exams, but he was seriously ill when he came out.

Now when it comes to the hospital examination, not to mention Granny Li, Jiang Baiye's family, and other people who know Jiang Baiye and know that they have a good relationship, all send their blessings.

Lu Lizhi felt that there was no reason for him not to perform well in this match.

In the early morning of the next day, he got up early to prepare according to the hour of the hospital examination. At this time, Ding Lihui and his three classmates also came to meet him, in case there was any mistake tomorrow.Confirmed that there is no problem.

After breakfast, the janitor came over, and Lu Lizhi arranged for him to live in the room next to his own, everything was ready, the only thing he owed was tomorrow's wind.

The four of Ding Lihui were extremely excited, and they were eager to fight, "Do you think we will all pass the exam?"

"That's inevitable! We must let those who look down on us take a good look at it, not only by flattering others will we be successful!"

Yu Zhijie, who was passing by several people, let out a "chi" sound, "I hope you will not be implicated by some people..."

His tone was sympathetic, and his eyes swept over Lu Lizhi and Ding Lihui.

Lu Lizhi frowned, seeing his calm and thoughtful appearance, he always felt that something bad happened.

But he is not afraid of soldiers coming to block him.

Squeeze the heirloom jade pendant that Jiang Baiye temporarily handed back to him yesterday, his relatives will also bless him.

In the next whole day, more and more students rushed over from various counties to live in this inn.

Some of them didn’t get used to it when they first arrived. They obviously had no problems on weekdays, but they had diarrhea after lunch. In the final analysis, they were still too nervous, which triggered a series of reactions.

And this reaction directly affected their state.

There are also those who are extremely irritable, pick up a book to read temporarily, sharpen their guns before the battle, and let go of their unhappiness.

Lu Lizhi gathered with Ding Lihui and the others for a while, and went back to pick up his pen and ink, but it was not about scientific research, but the fourth part of "Questioning the Merry", and he got some inspiration.

If others know that Mr. Qingyuan, whom they admire and look forward to, has written an article eloquently under such circumstances, they will definitely be surprised.

On the day of the college examination, it was still dark, Jiang Baiye, his parents, Uncle Luo, and Village Officer Wang rushed over to send Lu Lizhi to the examination.

The college examination is divided into the main examination and the re-examination. It is held in various colleges in Fucheng. The imperial envoy sent by the imperial court proctors the examination. The general process is similar to the county examination and the government examination, but the degree of difficulty is definitely not the same.

Therefore, the solemn and strict atmosphere inside and outside the examination room infected almost everyone.

The author has something to say:

Tai Song, you will smell really good.
