Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Chapter 88



The village chief asked the villagers to follow suit, and immediately calculated the value of the sand, but he had no intention of raising the price, but only calculated whether the sand in the village was enough for the whole village.Immediately after that, at Wang Xiujin's request, he sold one-third of the sofas in the village to Wang Xiujin, and then bought one-third of the remaining sandy land himself. Even if Wang Xiujin said that he was unknown to success, in his opinion, as long as Wang Xiujin did it, he would be successful.

After solving the problem of the sandy land, I will hand over the title deed to the housekeeper and follow the village head to get it. What he wants to consider is to plant the peanuts as soon as possible. It is a bit late to plant peanuts now, and I don’t know what will happen when the harvest comes. At worst, it would not be fruitless.In the next few days, the Wang family started to get busy again, because the sandy land was mostly behind the mansion, which was not very noticeable. Even if someone saw it, they just thought that the old six family wanted to get some flowers and plants.

Wang Xiujin didn't know how long the growth cycle of peanuts was, but he wrote a long letter to the capital. He remembered hearing about several major peanut producing areas in his previous life, and one of them was in the border area. Give the prescription to the royal family, set up a state-owned oil factory, and let retired soldiers go to work, that's all he can do.Of course, he would not directly give the prescription, the royal family must agree, if not, then he can buy land and build a factory himself, at most the price of the finished product will be higher.

After all the peanuts were planted here, the county magistrate of Wu County had already received the results of the capital examination. Wang Xiubai's results were not outstanding, but he also entered the top [-]. You must know that in the palace examination, the top [-] people are all The favorite of the No. [-] pick.The county magistrate immediately asked the yamen servant to announce the good news, and sent someone to Wang Village to inform the Wang family.After Wang Huanzhi's family heard the news, their faces were uncertain, and the servants were very happy. Although the Wang family is a merchant and their status in Daliang is not low, they are not even a star behind when they go out. is different.Siblings Wang Xiuyun and Wang Xiujin are also happy, but only happy, sincerely happy for their elder brother.As for Wang Huanzhi and his wife, they were somewhat conflicted.

Wang Huanzhi has been in the officialdom for more than ten years. Although he supported the eldest son's imperial examination, he also had the heart to turn himself around, but he was worried about his son, whether he would cause his son to suffer unreasonable disasters during the palace examination.Mrs. Wang is worried that the eldest son will follow his father's temperament, and this personality may not be easy to get along with his colleagues in the officialdom.Wang Xiujin was not worried. When the two brothers were in the capital, they had an in-depth communication and reached an agreement on what to do after the imperial examination, how to fail the exam, and what to do in high school.

Wang Xiubo, who was far away in the capital, didn't know what his family thought. After reading the list, he attended several banquets held by officials, then visited his enlightenment "mentor", and then devoted himself to reading in the small courtyard where he stayed.It is absolutely false to say that there is no excitement at all, and the mood is very complicated, otherwise, he would not bring a gift to visit his "mentor", or at the banquet, he said that his "mentor" loved him "teach".Wang Xiubai adjusts himself very quickly. He knows more than what he knows. The most important thing right now is not to enrich his contacts, but how to get ahead in the palace examination.

Before the palace test, Li Junliang returned to the capital with his achievements in suppressing the bandits. No one was injured or injured, and he also investigated the local corruption. Li Junliang made some interest communities hate him, but he could only grit his teeth and thank Li Junliang.After Li Sushan returned home, he heard about Wang Xiubai's ranking in the test, and immediately prepared a generous gift and ordered someone to send it. Even though his grandfather had already said that the Li family had sent something, Li Sushan insisted on sending another one.

Because of Wang Xiubai's grades, everyone in Wangcun was overjoyed, but no one went to Wang Huanzhi to ask for a treat. Instead, Wang Huanzhi let it out. Congratulations, the whole Wang Village is full of relatives and Gu, isn't it just to invite the whole village.Not everyone in the village is happy. The few families who went to matchmaking before were very happy. Tian Ding would not let them grow rice in crab fields, and Lao Liu would not let their children go to school. Now invite relatives and friends, will you Will not invite them.

The people who were involved hated to death the troublemaker who did nothing to cause trouble, even if Wang Xiubai didn't have high school, he really let people who don't care about dirty things enter the door just by using the method of having a baby.The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the more I think about it, the more bitter I feel. Seeing that life is getting better, but something like this happened, and my family was implicated in vain, so why don't I hate it.

In a big house with the gate closed, it doesn’t matter what other people’s homes think. Since you want to entertain relatives and friends, it’s not a matter of one table or two tables. Arrange carefully.After discussing with his parents, Wang Xiujin decided to place it in the largest open space in the village, set up a shed in advance, set up a few stoves, and serve food as he cooks.If the weather is fine at night, set up a grill in the center of the open space, buy two pigs and roast the whole pig.

As the days passed day by day, Wang Huanzhi counted the days to see which day would be the palace examination. On the day of the palace examination, Wang Huanzhi kowtowed in the direction of the capital in the courtyard.Wang Xiujin didn't notice because he was doing the banquet, and he only found out about it when he was dragged by his elder sister.Wang Xiujin took a look at his father and saw that there was nothing unusual about his father, so he reassured the elder sister. As for whether his father was pretending to be fine or really, only his mother could tell. He couldn't understand, and he could only guess at his father's mood. is complicated.

On the day of the palace examination, Wang Xiubo was in a very calm mood. He had never met the emperor, and he did not set his goals too high. As long as he could pass, he would go to the lower levels to practice. Get ahead, not like your father.

The day before the palace examination, Zhao Si received a letter from Wang Xiujin, which stated that he was working on a plant-made oil, and if he succeeded, it could be promoted to the world.Attached below is his idea of ​​offering the treasure, but there is still a premise, Zhao Si grinds his teeth after reading the letter, how can he tell his father!Will my father behead Wang Xiujin in a fit of anger after reading the letter?Zhao Si didn't know that the emperor had already read the letter, and the expression on his face was very strange after seeing the letter. After a long silence, he put the letter back and said, "The son of Prime Minister Wang is really a great talent."

Zhao Si shyly went to talk to his father, very cautious, very afraid of accidentally bringing Wang Xiujin's death.After listening to Si'er's long confession, the emperor looked at Si'er for a long time, and Si'er was honest.The Son of Heaven believes that no one dares to tell Si'er that he has read the letter first. Si'er can completely make Wang Xiujin's proposal his own, and he can also gain a good name and make the people grateful. However, Si'er did not do so. Wang Xiujin said.Looking at Si'er, the emperor suddenly thought, what would happen if Si'er sat in this position?No scheming, but not greedy for merit.Kind-hearted and easy to fight injustice... The emperor shook his head, for the world, not just for good.

During the palace examination, the students hung their heads like quails, and no one dared to move.The emperor looked at the people in the palace. In the future, some of them will become the pillars of the country, and some will even become ministers handed down from generation to generation. However, the current appearance makes the emperor very displeased. No matter whether a scholar or a warrior, he should be proud. Few of these literati were seen.If you don't like it, you still have to come up with a question. The emperor thought about it yesterday. There are two questions in total. One is how to arrange the injured soldiers, and the other is how to deal with the encounter between officials and bandits.

After these two questions came out, it was as if a bomb had been dropped among the civil servants, and everyone was uneasy.Although the generals were expressionless, their hearts were filled with joy.Not to mention the placement of the soldiers, the matter of the relationship between the officials and the bandits, no one knew that General Li had found out and escorted him back to the capital.

After Wang Xiubo heard the mention, he was very surprised in his heart, and wondered if the emperor wanted to help Wu and curb his writing. If so, today's palace test will be the emperor's test.Slightly frowning, Wang Xiubai picked up the pen and after a short period of contemplation, he put aside guesswork, but recalled the question posed by the emperor, and now he can't write articles according to his own thoughts. If he is a younger brother, what would he do? answer?Not long after, Wang Xiubo started writing.

When Wang Xiubai started to write, someone had already started. Wang Xiubai was not in a hurry, and he organized his thoughts while writing, trying to go through it all at once.

The civil and military officials were not in the palace, and they looked at each other with various dislikes. The high-ranking civil servants frowned, guessing the meaning of the emperor.The ministers invigilating the examination in the palace are all civil servants. Yesterday, the emperor mentioned that it is not difficult to write the questions. Why did the name change today? How could any minister in the court do something that the emperor found out?While walking behind the student, several people looked at each other, feeling uneasy in their hearts, they are also civil servants!

As someone wrote the pen, someone began to hand in the paper. Wang Xiubai handed in the paper not too early or too late. He thought he would not be noticed, but he didn't want to be called by the emperor after he wrote the pen. "Wang Xiubai, the son of Wang Huanzhi of Xiangcheng, wrote Is it over? Let me have a look." Wang Xiubai almost fell down, his mood was very complicated, he couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, he didn't know whether this appearance was good or bad.

The emperor carefully read the two articles written by Wang Xiubo, and only commented, "It's straightforward."

Several ministers surrounded it, and after reading it, their evaluation was like the emperor's, which was really straightforward.I also thought of Wang Xiubai's test paper before, although it was straightforward, it also added some literary talent. Why didn't the palace test show literary talent, but it was more straightforward?Could it be that this can attract the emperor's attention?

Wang Xiubo respected himself, "The grassroots thank the emperor for his praise, but the ministers don't understand military affairs, so they can only express their opinions directly." Wang Xiubo felt that he was afraid that he would offend many people.

"It's honest." The emperor didn't say any more, but Wang Xiubai was in a cold sweat.

The author has something to say: Li Sushan: Today, even the soy sauce beats me so hard that I want to cry, daughter-in-law, I miss you, when will we meet again, after I send you to Xiangcheng, I will... (Hundreds of words are omitted below)

Wang Xiujin: So sleepy, shut up

Stupid author: I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep, wave.
