On the street in front of the palace of Li Zhen, the cabinet assistant minister, there were many people wearing scholar's uniforms and folding fans gathered.

They are the juren who passed the provincial examination in the current examination and came here to meet their teacher Li Zhen.

However, there are many people, and Li Zhen can’t meet in the whole morning. Therefore, only people with higher rankings will be received in person.

At this time, all their visits had been handed over, and occasionally the housekeeper of the Li family would come out and ask someone else to come in to meet Li Zhen.

There are so many people standing outside now, many of whom are from twenty. They are still standing here at this time, and there is a chance to see him. Li Zhen may make an exception to meet him.

Suddenly, a carriage drove over from the streets on both sides of the east and west. A carriage on the west was decorated with luxury. A carriage on the east was not only small, but also almost without decoration, and was ordinary and simple.

However, when the two carriages arrived and their owners got off the car, almost all the people standing at the door surrounded the owner of the ordinary carriage.

This scene caused Jia Qing, who had just got off the carriage, to twitch the corner of his mouth. There is no way, who told him that he was Jinke Jieyuan!

Ignoring this, Jia Qing sorted out his appearance and took a few steps up the steps in front of Li's mansion, wanting to hand over the prayer letter.

"Hey, do you understand the rules? Tang Jieyuan is here. How could you pass Tang Jieyuan and submit it first?"

Suddenly, a priest's voice sounded behind Jia Qing. Jia Qing didn't care much and continued to hand the prayer post to the manager of the Li family guarding in front of the door.

"Ningguo Mansion? Juren Jia waited."

The manager of the Li family took the greeting and first said a surprise, then gave a slight tribute, and then explained to the person next to him, then turned around and headed into the house.

"Where are you talking about you, can't you hear it?"

The previous voice approached, with vague anger.

Jia Qing frowned. He didn't care about false reputation, but it did not mean that he was willing to be trampled by others.

Turning around, five or six people behind him were centered on one of the young men. It was not him who spoke, but a young man next to him with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek.

"Who are you?"

In fact, when Jia Qing turned around, many people around him changed slightly. Although the focus of yesterday's banquet was the governor and the "Tang Jieyuan", Jia Qing was famous in the third place in the provincial examination and was young, and many people silently wrote down his appearance. There were also well-informed people who knew Jia Qing's background and background, and they were worried about the person who spoke out.

Some people are not easy to mess with!

Behind, seeing someone provoking his young master, Li Yan and others quietly surrounded him, but were caught by Jia Qing's eyes.

"Haha, it turns out to be Jia Jingkui.

Zhang Tongnian, you have too many troubles. Everyone is in the same year, so why bother with these? Originally, Jia Jingkui arrived first, so naturally he handed over first. What's wrong with me waiting for a while?"

It seems that the person who is in charge of Jia Qing also knows that he can make peace with his words.

As the saying goes, if you don’t hit someone with a smile on your face, you will be polite. Jia Qing will not be arrogant and replied: “I have met Tang Jieyuan.”

The people around Tang Jieyuan were all people with low rankings, and they all have one thing in common, that is, they are not of high origins.

Moreover, it is difficult for wealthy families to produce noble children. Most of the imperial examinations are dragon gates for ordinary cold-stricken children. Therefore, these people have a mentality of hating nobles and contempt for wealth.

Jia Qing had a bold way of traveling, which had long been ruined by these people who had been the juren who were unable to pass the imperial examination. Later, seeing that Jia Qing ignored the status of "boss" and took the lead in the visit, he immediately found the reason.

This is why this person who looks like a bastard "stands up for Tang Jieyuan."

At this time, Tang Jieyuan lowered his head first. Although he was even more dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything else. He just looked at his head aside.

If there is no life, Jia Qing will naturally not be troublesome. These people are those who are more determined than the sky and have less life than paper.

Unlike Jia Qing, for Jia Qing, the Juren and Jinshi are just an extra embellishment. For them, it is the only hope to enter the career of the officialdom. Moreover, next year's Spring Examination Competition will be the real battlefield.

Because, they joined Nanzhili, which is stronger than Northern Zhili. The chances of these people have been too slim to be ranked on the list! Even if they were lucky enough to get the third place, they would have to wait until the Ministry of Personnel has a vacant opportunity to become a foreign official.

Generally speaking, ordinary third-class Jinshi cannot be released from the magistrate, and usually only a county magistrate or a county magistrate. When you reach a high position, it will take many years to come.

As for those who have not got the opportunity to release the situation, they will probably have to be desolate for the rest of their lives! There are so many poor and poor officials in the capital.

It is really hard for Jia Qing to face these people. However, this Tang Jieyuan was handsome and had a bright future.

After saying a few polite words to him, the housekeeper of Li's house led a referee and said:

"I'm invited Jia Juren to the mansion."

...

Like most officials' residences, the Li Mansion is not very luxurious, but it is better to be quiet and elegant. The layout is similar to Fang Shou's residences, and they are all large mansions with two entrances.

Inside Li Zhen's room.

Li Zhen smiled and looked at Jia Qing standing in the house with a respectful smile, and said, "Are you the Jia family Lin Lang, the famous young prodigy in the country?"

"Students dare not call themselves child prodigy, but they just got the favor of the emperor and gave him an official position."

Li Zhen nodded and asked again: "How old are you?"

“It will be over twelve.”

Li Zhen sighed: "It's so young! I'm deeply impressed by your argument. I still remember it, but I don't know how you had those bold ideas at such a young age?

Can you tell me?"

Jia Qing said: "The students' strategies and arguments are just delusions and talk about them on paper, but they are not considered as insights.

If the teacher is interested, the student is willing to explain the students’ thoughts in detail to the teacher.”

Teachers are a relatively strong relationship in the relationship between teachers and students. Therefore, why are the main examinations of the provincial examinations in each province sent by the emperor to the imperial examinations? It was just to give fame to the ministers!

Therefore, it is no exaggeration for Jia Qing to call Li Zhen to call him teacher. Li Zhen usually gives him advice on the premise of paying attention to it.

"The teacher may know that the students are children of a large family. My family has a lot of people, and the staff is complicated, and the expenses of various types are huge every year.

My family's inputs are mainly two items. One is from the farm, including the family's sacrifice fields and ordinary farms. However, although the fertile land is very large, the annual output is far less than the family's expenses.

Secondly, the street shops. Although the elders in the customs house all disdain for business, it is undeniable that the economic benefits it produces are far from the farm.

However, since family members who do business for the customs are often not valued, many people are cheating and even fond of themselves. The industry is getting worse and worse, and even reaching a point where they are unable to make ends meet.

The students have been influenced by their childhood and know that my family has long been overdrawing the kindness of our ancestors. Although they are still glamorous, they have already eaten food inside.

From the small to the big. If a family is like this, how can a country not be like this?

The country's wealth is in the hands of merchants, but it has no corresponding position and is in a state of insecurity all day long. It will inevitably look for protection everywhere, so that a large amount of money and goods fall into the hands of private people.

But these money that should have been included in the country flows into the government and the powerful, but will not produce good governance, but will cause the source of sin...

Therefore, the students boldly proposed the concept of "leniency in agriculture and commerce". They asked farmers to pay less taxes and merchants to pay more taxes to gain status. They also believed that this law could not only increase national income but also cause national wealth.

In time, the people of the entire Great Chu will be able to live and work in peace and prosperity, and the people will be rich!"
