Chapter 78 The Holy Majesty Wrote a Small Composition for Him

   Li Qiao sat on his seat, polished the ink, put down the brush, and waited for the yamen servant to come over with the wooden board.

After a while, the yamen servant came.

His eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people, and he could see the title on the wooden board from a distance. After seeing clearly what was written on it, he couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the capital, and at the same time began to dig the ground with his toes.

When the yamen servant came up to him, meeting the yamen servant's strange eyes, he calmly picked up the pen, and copied today's topic of discussion in a leisurely manner.

But in fact, his toes have dug out a village of Sanliu.

A great sense of shame enveloped him.

Today's policy topic comes from the short composition that the Holy One has just released this month and has not yet been circulated.

The content of the small composition is vermicelli.

Of course, because of the limited size of the wooden board, it is impossible to extract all the content of the essay, so the title is only a general introduction to the situation of vermicelli driving the whole Pingcheng farmers to become rich.

The Holy One sighed, may Dasheng be Pingcheng everywhere.

So this time the policy topic is to ask candidates to refer to the sweet potato madness in Pingcheng, and combine the actual situation of their household registration to write a policy essay around the four words of farmers getting rich.

The topic is very big and empty, and candidates are not required to contribute specific ways to get rich, but just ask candidates to write an article around these four words.

Seeing the question clearly, the examinees in the same hall as Li Qiao all looked at Li Qiao with different emotions.

It turns out that His Majesty wrote a small composition specifically for vermicelli, and His Majesty wrote a small composition for Li Qiao!

Good guy, now Li Qiao must be famous in Quan Dasheng.

Moreover, the case this time must be Li Qiao.

The Holy Majesty even wrote a small composition for Li Qiao, if the prefect didn't make Li Qiao the top of the case, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the Holy Majesty.

The person whom the Holy Majesty has a crush on, knows that the government dare not look down on them.

As soon as this idea came out, many candidates were both envious and jealous of Li Qiao, and at the same time felt a sense of powerlessness.

Many people held their breath and wanted to compete with Li Qiao, but they were very dissatisfied with Li Qiao.

But once this little essay came out, even if they were the reincarnation of Wen Quxing, the prefect would not rank them ahead of Li Qiao.

The case this time can only be Li Qiao.

Too powerless!

However, at this time in the examination room, no matter how weak I am, I have to finish writing today's policy topic. The number of places admitted by the government examination is the top 60.

Even if Li Qiao is selected as the head of the case, he can only occupy one spot, and there are fifty-nine spots left!

They can't grab the head of the case, but they can grab the fifty-nine spots.

Therefore, the candidates quickly put away their collapsed mentality and seriously thought about how to write today's article.

In fact, if you put aside the vermicelli, today's policy articles are easy to write, and you can get closer to the principle of people's wealth, people's value, and the principle of people's prosperity and national strength that the Holy One has always insisted on.

But the difficulty lies in getting in touch with the actual situation in my hometown.

Although the question does not explicitly require the candidates to contribute ways to get rich, but, judging from the articles in the Liqiao County Examination, only by contributing coups will it be possible to outperform other candidates.

How to get rich?

All the candidates here are candidates from Hexi Prefecture. Hexi Prefecture is not a big one, so the counties are similar in terms of terrain, climate, and crop specialties.

So, how to make farmers rich?

Candidates in Pingcheng stared at the topic with bitterness and hatred, their heads were numb. Li Qiao had already made the farmers in Pingcheng rich. As Pingcheng people, how should they write their essays?

Li Qiao has already made his way out.

How should they build a new road?

Li Qiao was also thinking about this question.

The topic of policy discussion is his vermicelli.

How should he write today's article?

Is he going to think of another way to make the farmers of the whole county rich?

Even if he is a time traveler, the difficulty is a bit high...

Moreover, the eyes of the surrounding candidates are too piercing, and the eyes are like knives, poking hard at him.

He couldn't help but feel guilty.

Today's topic is another hell, but it's really not his fault, who would have thought that His Majesty would write a small composition just for vermicelli.

He is also confused now.

Today's policy topic is no less difficult for him than other candidates.

As for whether the Mingzhi government will point him as the top case because of this... Before the result comes out, don't be jealous of him, he didn't do anything.

It was the Holy One who insisted on writing a small composition for vermicelli!

With a wry smile in his heart, he took back his thoughts of running away and began to seriously ponder the topic.

After thinking hard, making an outline, and writing a big frame, after spending a lot of brain cells, it was noon without writing a word in the text. He asked for a bowl of hot water, and had a quick lunch with dry steamed buns that had been broken into many pieces.

After lunch, he began to write the text.

First write a draft on straw paper, polish it, and then copy it on the test paper.

When he finished writing, it was not long before the end of the exam.

Anyway, he has finished writing, anyway, he already has the label of the Holy Grail writing a small composition for him, so he became the first person to hand in the paper.

As he walked towards the magistrate with the test basket and the test papers in hand, he looked at the other candidates from the corner of his eye.

Many people scratched their heads, hesitated to write, and looked like they lacked confidence.

He sighed.

I hope these people don't spread their grievances on him. If you want to blame, you can only blame the Holy One. The style of the title has always been like this. He was just caught by the Holy One as a material.

Today's article, he really has a headache than everyone else.

After leaving the examination shed, Tao Zhu, Li Dashan, Zheng Qianqian, Huang Youming and his son were all waiting outside, as were Shen Hua and Xu's family. Seeing him coming out, a group of people surrounded him with concern on their faces.

Two days ago, Li Qiao came out early, and Meng Yue and Xu Ying handed in their papers earlier, but today Li Qiao handed in their papers at dusk, and Meng Yue and Xu Ying didn't show up either. Is today's question difficult?

topic?

It is impossible for him to say today's topic.

Li Qiao put on a characteristic smile: "It's a bit difficult, but I've already finished the exam, so I don't want to."

Seeing his smiling face, the Xu family members were suddenly worried. Even Li Qiao found it difficult, so what should Xiaoying do?

Shen Hua stared at the door of the examination shed, his immature face wrinkled into a ball, he kept praying with his palms together, God bless, don't let his cousin's years of hard study be in vain.

Seeing this, Li Qiao greeted Shen Hua and Xu's family, and took Tao Zhu to leave.

Two days ago, he waited for Meng Yue and Xu Ying after leaving the test booth, and checked the questions with them, but today.

He is going to the bookstore to see if there are any new works by the Holy Majesty.

The Holy One actually wrote a small composition for vermicelli!

He was ashamed and curious, what exactly did the Holy Majesty write in the whole story?

It was getting late, but there was still some time before the curfew, Li Qiao told Tao Zhu and the others about today's topic while walking.

"Ah??? The Holy Majesty wrote an article specially for you?!"

Tao Zhu was shocked, his eyes widened, his mouth grew, and his voice was raised high.

"Hush, keep your voice down, don't let passers-by hear you."

Li Qiao quickly grabbed his hand when he heard that.

This is too shameful. Before today, he really did not expect to be the material for the Holy Majesty's essay.

When Tao Zhu heard this, he quickly raised his other hand to cover his mouth.

But his watery eyes turned from shock to sparkle, the Holy One wrote an article to his man?

God!

This is a heavenly glory!

He's such a powerful man, if he wasn't on the street at this time, he would definitely hug Li Qiao and kiss him hard!

Li Dashan, Zheng Qianqian, and Huang Youming's father and son were also dumbfounded. This, this weight is about the same as the imperial pen and plaque hanging on the door of Li Qiao's house, right?

Three generations of Baoliqiao were rich on the imperial pen plaque, and this article, Baoliqiao's name will go down in history!

Awesome!

Li Dashan couldn't help poking Zheng Qianqian's arm with his hand: "Brother Qian, squeeze me quickly to see if I'm dreaming."

Hearing this, Zheng Qianqian immediately raised her hand and twisted his arm hard. For a moment, Zheng Qianqian also felt that she was in a dream.

What an honor!

The severe pain made Li Dashan grin his teeth, but he quickly grinned, hehe, his uncle is too upbeat, Guangzong Yaozu!

Huang Youming's mouth trembled with excitement, his beard trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Li Qiao's name is Wan Shiyang. As Li Qiao's personal tutor, although he will not appear in the official history, his name will definitely be included in the unofficial history!

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, the ancestors bless, his name will be passed down for many generations!

Li Qiao saw the reactions of these people, and his sense of shame was suppressed a lot. Since the people around him were so happy, he should be happy too.

"Let's go, let's go to the bookstore!"

He beckoned a few people to go home and lead the ox cart.

Because the test shed is very close to the rented yard, they walked to the test shed.

Going back, put down the test basket, pulled out the ox cart, and a group of six went straight to the nearest bookstore.

After going to three bookstores in a row, they finally found the masterpiece of the Holy Spirit this month.

This article can no longer be called a small composition, it is a big composition.

The article wrote about the sweet potato madness in Pingcheng in detail, not only the name of Liqiao appeared, but also the place names such as Sanliu Village and Zhujia Village.

Even the amount of money that brought sweet potatoes to farmers was clearly written out. In addition, the current situation of Sanliu Village and other villages was compared with the living standards of previous years.

In the end, he also praised Li Qiao a few words, and hoped that there would be more and more talents like Li Qiao.

After Li Qiao finished reading it, the suppressed sense of shame enveloped him again. This is not an essay, but an investigation report.

Written in such detail, is it afraid that the world will not remember his name?

If he didn't take the imperial examination, it would be his luck to have such a small composition.

But now he is a candidate.

From now on, people all over the world will pay attention to his imperial examination articles, and the pressure will be great.

After sighing, Li Qiao took a thin booklet and prepared to pay the bill. Every small composition of the Holy Majesty was made into a booklet, just like a book.

But Tao Zhu stopped him, how could he only buy one copy of the small composition written by the Holy Spirit just for him.

With a wave of Tao Zhu's hand, he bought hundreds of small essays from this bookstore.

Hey!

This is a family heirloom!

Put a few copies in the money box, put a few copies in the conspicuous places of the study and 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 really happy. On the way back, he saw a restaurant, and packed more than a dozen dishes lavishly, costing dozens of taels of silver—the curfew time was approaching, so they had to pack.

Back home, the six of them ate happily, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Tao Zhu was in high spirits, took Li Qiao to take a bath, had a good time in the bathtub, and continued to be happy when he returned to the bed, until he was too tired to lift his fingers, and then he stopped.

Both body and mind were exhausted, but Tao Zhu didn't want to sleep, and when Li Qiao brushed him off and returned to the bed, he rolled on the opportunity and rolled directly into Li Qiao's arms.

Finding a comfortable position, he completely embeds himself in Li Qiao's arms, and said hoarsely, "I forgot to ask, how did you write your article?" Li Qiao laughed after hearing that, "Finally remembered to ask something serious

? "

After he left the examination room after the first day of the exam, Tao Zhu was still waiting for him outside, but this time, when he was confronting Huang Youming, Meng Yue, and Xu Ying, he brought Tao Zhu with him and asked Tao Zhu to sit Listen aside.

Tao Zhu couldn't go to the examination room in person, so he wanted Tao Zhu to get in touch with every process outside the examination room.

His trick was very effective, and what he said was that the husband and wife brought it back together, so Tao Zhu was not in a low mood this time, even if he couldn't understand what they were talking about, he was always in a good mood .

It was the same yesterday, but today I was so happy that I didn't remember to ask him until now.

"The Holy Majesty's article is also a matter of business." Tao Zhu arched his arms in his arms, just buried his face in the hollow of his neck, then opened his mouth and bit his neck gently: "Quickly say it."

"Okay, okay, let me say." Li Qiao resisted the numbness, and hugged his body even tighter with his big hands.

When Li Qiao finished speaking, Tao Zhu couldn't help breaking away from his embrace, and lay face to face with him, his watery eyes still wide open: "Can you write like this?" Tao Zhu knew Li Qiao's method

.的: Give a specific operation, one step ahead of the other candidates.

But the article written by Li Qiao today has nothing to do with this method.

Is this okay?

"Whether it's okay or not, I don't know, but I really want to write like this." Li Qiao said, holding his hand and putting it to his lips and kissed: "I just want to write like this." "...

Since you want , then I will support you."

Tao Zhu swallowed back the worry that came to his lips.

Anyway, this person has already written like this, so it is useless to worry at this time.

Moreover, after listening to this person's analysis, he also thinks that writing like this is quite good, but he doesn't know if it can scratch the prefect's itch.

But regardless of whether it can be scratched or not, this government test is over.

He said, "What shall we do tomorrow?"

"Well...Meng Yue and Xu Ying will definitely come to see me, and we will go shopping in the future." If you can

escape today, you cannot escape tomorrow.

Meng Yue and Xu Ying will definitely come to him.

His Majesty's little composition gave him a wave of enthusiasm, from the attention of the whole government to the attention of the whole family.

But there are benefits too.

The vermicelli sales problem that Jiangzhi County and Mingzhi Prefecture were worried about should be solved.

Although Jiangzhi County and Mingzhifu are officials, but the officials are too small, and there is no internet at this time, and the transportation is not convenient, so these two people can't open up a market for vermicelli.

But now that the article by the Holy One is published, it is tantamount to advertising the vermicelli in the whole area of ​​Dasheng. In this way, when big businessmen from other places see business opportunities, they will come to Hexi Mansion on their own initiative.

At that time, the whole Hexi Prefecture will fall into the sweet potato madness.

His pocket money will also increase.

However, with the double protection of the holy majesty's imperial pen and plaque and the small composition, he can hold the money with peace of mind and security.

In this way, Li Qiao slowly talked with Tao Zhu about what kind of chain reaction this little composition would cause. Although these changes were very good, the two of them were really tired, so gradually, Li Qiao fell silent, and the two hugged each other. Fall into a sweet dream together.

When I woke up again, the bright sunlight came 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 these voices were low and far away, so he couldn't hear them clearly.

It should be Meng Yue and Xu Ying who came.

Thinking like this, he lowered his head to look at Tao Zhu in his arms, and wanted to get up.

As soon as he lowered his head, he just saw Tao Zhu opened his eyes in a daze, and Tao Zhu also woke up. The biological clocks of the two of them have always been consistent.

So the two exchanged a kiss first, then got up and opened the door.

Zheng Qianqian was sitting in the yard staring at the door of their room in a daze. Seeing the husband and wife coming out, she immediately got up and walked towards them.

"Brother Zhu, Brother Qiao, there are many scholars outside, all of whom are visiting Brother Qiao. Mr. Huang said that Brother Qiao has not risen yet, but they refuse to leave and have been waiting. There are more than thirty people at the moment. It's gone."

"...Aren't they Meng Yue and Xu Ying?" Li Qiao was surprised.

"No, the Xu family sent someone over, saying that you need to rest and come to visit later."

Li Qiao: "..."

Xing Ba.

Meng Yue and Xu Ying are very caring.

However, thinking of the people outside, he immediately wanted to take Tao Zhu back to the room and continue to sleep.

Of course, this can only be thought about.

With so many people waiting, he had to go out and socialize.

Thus, Li Qiao spent the day socializing.

The scholars who came today all had a good impression of him. Although these people felt that the essay was difficult to write this time, they did not take their grievances on him. These people wanted to make friends with him and develop a relationship.

This time, Li Qiao will definitely be selected as the head of the case. As long as Li Qiao continues to take the imperial examination, every chief examiner will let him pass. Therefore, Li Qiao will definitely be able to rush to the imperial examination in one go.

In the palace test, this is standing in front of the Holy Majesty. At this time, the Holy Majesty is giving a plaque and writing small essays. He protects and lifts Li Qiao. As long as Li Qiao does not die, will the Holy Majesty slap himself in the face during the palace examination? ?

Certainly not.

Li Qiao will surely soar into the sky.

Before he could really fly, they got to know him a little bit first. Now that he is acquainted with Li Qiao, he will have another backer in the future.

Although the big guy is not from the same county, but from the same prefecture, when Li Qiao enters the court as an official in the future, the entire Hexi prefecture will be his home.

Moreover, putting aside the selfishness of looking for a backer, and only looking at Li Qiao's own talent, these people admire Li Qiao very much. Everyone is a candidate with narrow vision, but Li Qiao can write such a complete and comprehensive essay at such a young age. The article is great!

What makes them admire even more is that Li Qiao not only has articles, but also practical exercises. Articles and practice demonstrate each other and complement each other, awesome!

Therefore, the purpose of these people today is very simple, even if they can't get the backer relationship, it is good to ask Li Qiao for advice at this time.

They wanted to discuss with Li Qiao their experience in writing policy theory.

Since the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, this policy article has often received hell, catching them by surprise.

They have made countless preparations before the exam, but when they really go to the exam room, the strategy questions will still give them a new shock.

Li Qiao was not hiding his secrets when others asked for advice. Although these people were competitors with him, in a larger sense, these people were the reserve forces for scholars, the reserve forces for juren, and the reserve forces for 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 it can be considered that he has contributed to the paradise of Dasheng.

Even if they can't be an official, or even a scholar, but just by passing the county examination, then these people have a certain right to speak in their respective villages.

These people use the experience and methods they got from him in their own homes and villages to make their homes and villages better, which is tantamount to maintaining this paradise.

What's more, he only gave the outline he had summarized, and didn't give specific ways to make money, such as the method of filling cakes with five grains, soy milk and eggs shared with Zhuang Wen, he didn't give them.

Therefore, it is not considered as cultivating competitors.

With this in mind, Li Qiao didn't hide his secrets, and shared with these people the secrets of strategy and victory that he had discussed with Zhuang Wen.

After listening to these people, their admiration for him doubled in an instant. No wonder he was able to write such a complete article.

However, when these people thought of this exam, their faces quickly collapsed again.

The specific method of getting rich... "I 've been thinking for a long time, but I haven't figured

out how to bring my fellow villagers to earn money together. " It's just time, how could they figure out a way to make their hometown rich. Not to mention their hometown, they didn't even think of a way to make their own family rich. Making yourself rich is as difficult as the imperial examination. Let the folks get rich too, my God, it's harder than reaching the sky. Listening to these wailing, Li Qiao was helpless.















This is a headache for even the Holy Majesty, otherwise, why did the Holy Majesty come up with such a policy topic, isn't it just to let these official reserve staff focus on this aspect.

After these people wailed, they couldn't help asking Li Qiao how he wrote the policy article this time. Looking at the faces full of curiosity for knowledge, Li Qiao smiled and shook his head.

This has to be kept secret.

Although there is a small essay written by the sage, as long as the result is not published, then everything is possible. If he is not the chief of the case, or if he is the chief of the case but the magistrate did not post his essay, then why should he blew himself up.

Although he really wanted to write this article, it would be shameless in the eyes of those who were unhappy with him.

He doesn'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 on his yard that he would buy new things from Fucheng for his family in the next few days, so he would not pick up any guests. !

After the notice was posted, the six of them set off to go shopping before dawn on the fourth day.

First, I went to buy clothes and jewelry for Li Dashan and Zheng Qianqian. The couple will get married when they return to the village. These items are indispensable.

There are many jewelry shops in Fucheng, and a few people randomly entered one. The prices in Fucheng are high, so Li Dashan directly gave Zheng Qianqian his money bag, and asked Zheng Qianqian to buy whatever he liked.

He brought a 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. Li Dashan has spent all the money now, so there is nothing to spend after getting married.

After that business crisis, Zheng Qianqian got rid of the habit of spending money lavishly. Rouge, gouache, clothing, jewelry, and jewelry did not make him feel at ease.

He is satisfied only if the money is honestly put in his purse.

So, he only picked out a pair of delicate silver bracelets, less than twenty taels of silver, and then he didn't plan to buy anything else.

Seeing this, Tao Zhu directly bought a set of silver face masks for him. The younger brother's head face is different from the girl's, only hairpins, earrings, and bracelets. There are ten pieces in total, as high as more than two hundred taels of silver.

Zheng Qianqian waved her hand in shock: "No, Brother Zhu, you make it look like I deliberately don't spend my own money and let you pay for it."

He really didn't mean that!

Tao Zhu laughed lightly when he heard the words: "You will soon become my nephew's generation, so you can't call me brother Zhu anymore. You are the junior, and I am the elder. If the elder gives something to the younger generation, you can take it with peace of mind.

" It's too precious! I don't feel at ease holding it."

Zheng Qianqian still shook her head.

If it was a few dozen taels, he would have the cheek to accept it.

But this is more than two hundred taels!

"Accept it, I don't give gifts to Dashan, I give red envelopes to Dashan, Brother Qian, to tell you something you don't like to hear, I once ruined a marriage of Dashan, and now he is finally married, then I also I can rest assured."

"I have to thank you, Brother Qian, thank you for being Dashan's husband and not letting him be a bachelor."

Li Qiao opened his mouth.

Although this was a stab at Zheng Qianqian's heart, it was also from his heart.

The original body got rid of Li Dashan's marriage. Not long after he crossed over, he married Tao Zhu, and they were sweet all day long.

Li Dashan, on the other hand, pursued Zheng Qianqian for two years before he achieved the true result.

Give Li Dashan a big red envelope, and he can be regarded as completely cleaning up the mess left to him by the original body.

Sure enough, Zheng Qianqian pursed her lower lip when she heard Li Qiao's words, but soon laughed again.

He knew everything about Li Dashan, including the little brother who almost married Li Dashan.

That little brother is doing well now, he just gave birth to a fat son this year, and the sweet potatoes at home have earned a lot of money.

Li Dashan didn't forget his ex-fiancée. At that time, Li Dashan obeyed his parents' orders so he 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 for nothing. I will really accept Brother Zhu's face." He said with a smile.

"Receive it, you must take it."

Li Qiao also smiled: "I gave Dashan the red envelope, and I will give it to him when I get home." "

Hehe, thank you uncle!"

Li Dashan did not refuse.

Because he knew that it was useless to refuse, and whatever his uncle 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 that he is rich, and will become even richer in the future, he can buy jewelry as he pleases.

In addition to the face, he also bought some rouge powder.

Now he and Tao Zhu still have the habit of secretly putting on makeup, and Tao Zhu only shows it to him, so rouge and gouache are an essential tool for their little fun.

Of course, family and friends cannot be missed.

For example, Wang Guihua, whose eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and Li Shu, whose elder sister is like a mother, Li Chuntao and others also treat him very well.

It is rare to come to Fucheng once, and a large purchase is necessary.

Buying and buying for a whole day, more than a thousand taels of silver were spent.

When sitting under the candle to keep accounts at night, Tao Zhu showed a rare expression of distress.

However, thinking of the full box, his heartache disappeared.

This money is not thrown away in vain, it is 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 look for Li Qiao, and the group had a great time eating, playing and shopping in Fucheng.

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 no matter what.

The two of them became even more curious now, and they prayed every day that the prefect would make Li Qiao the top case. Only in this way would they have a chance to know exactly how Li Qiao's article was written.

It wasn't just Meng Yue and Xu Ying who were curious, other candidates, whether they had good intentions for Li Qiao or were not convinced by Li Qiao, all wanted to know what Li Qiao had written.

But Li Qiao's tone was very tight, the more he couldn't find out, the more he wanted to know.

Originally, many people were not convinced that the Mingzhi government would make Li Qiao the top case, but now, everyone is praying that the Mingzhi government must make Li Qiao the top case, so that they can know Li Qiao What did the article actually write.

In everyone's anticipation, the day of the announcement finally came.

The author has something to say:
