Fu Qian walked out of the Marquis' Mansion in a daze, and there were people who failed the exam in groups of three or three.

This time, the Marquis's mansion recruited officials and attracted a lot of attention. There were some idle people around him watching.

Seeing Fu Qian coming out with a bad look on his face, obviously not among the selected ones, the number of people who laughed at him suddenly increased. Even if they were all those who failed the exam, they would take the initiative to stay away from him when they saw Fu Qian.

It’s not that Fu Qian’s bad character is so resentful, but mainly because he was a child prodigy too well when he was young. The so-called “other people’s children” was Fu Qian’s situation when he was young. If such a person continues to be strong, these people who now derogate him will brag about Fu Qian in a sensible way, and even claim to be his relatives and friends, which will add a glory to his face.

But now Fu Qian has been sinking, and the praises of the past have become ironic. Not only did no one comfort him, but they all trampled on this person twice as much, as if using such measures to retract the praises of Fu Qian and also free themselves from the suspicion of not being able to understand others.

Human nature is dark, and Fu Qian only vaguely understood that fame and fortune are not important, and outsiders’ opinions are not important. The important thing is to make yourself and your closest family have a good life.

He staggered forward step by step, with waves of sarcastic mockery in his ears. Fu Qian heard too much and almost didn't care much about it.

I was worried that I had thought about serving in the Marquis’ Mansion before, which would help my family get out of dilemma, but now everything is empty. After I go back, I don’t know how to face my parents and wife.

Fu Qian's eyes were filled with tears, not for rolling his eyes or ridicule, but for his own regrets that he was incompetent. He had been studying for more than ten years and could not even support his parents...

At this time, several rogues stopped Fu Qian and began to mock him.

"Isn't this the famous Prodigy Fu?"

"Have you been admitted to the marquis's official?"

"What is it? Secretary-General? Clerk? Wen Qilang? Or Bingchenglang?"

For the Marquis' Office, the clerks, such as Jiyi's words, can be guaranteed to be a secretary of the ninth rank, and the clerks' words, can be guaranteed to be a clerk, and the deputy guests who welcome or pedestrians who run errands can be Bingcheng's words, but there are quotas restrictions, so the Marquis' Office will not recommend it easily.

Fu Qian swallowed his anger and said, "I haven't offended all the neighbors, right? Please give in, I'm going home."

"Just get over me." A scoundrel said with a frivolous smile on his face, "I hate you the most useless waste like you who study. If you don't crawl over, I will beat you up today."

Fu Qian's face turned pale, and he would definitely not surrender, but if he was beaten by a few scoundrels, his reputation would become even worse and would be difficult to save in the future.

If you suffer humiliation from the bottom of your life, it would be better to commit suicide.

Just when he was in a dilemma, the sound of horse hooves came from behind Fu Qian. When everyone looked back, they saw Xu Zixian wearing a martial arts crown racing towards him. He followed several guards and gazemen. Five or six war horses were galloping in the streets of the town, and everyone around was panicked and gave way.

"Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu!" Xu Zi slowed down his horse when he was close. After getting closer, he turned over and dismounted. Only then did people see that he was not wearing his boots well. Xu Zi left first, while pulling out the heel of his boots, looking a little embarrassed.

The people around were stunned. Xu Zi pulled out his boots and stood up. When he saw a few sluts with a dull look on his face, he immediately understood what was going on. He turned to Jin and hugged him, "Hug him, beat these guys hard and throw them into the garbage dump."

The farmland area near the south of Zhennan is a large garbage dump, with a foul smell...

Jin hugged and laughed, saying, "It's interesting, I like this errand."

Amid the screams of several rogues, Xu Zixian said to Fu Qian: "Sorry, the person under Mr. Fu's answer was negligent and did not look closely. I looked carefully. It was really a subtle saying and it was impressive."

But Fu Qian didn't believe it. He knew his test papers himself, and his level was indeed average at most. He said to Xu Zixian: "The prince is too much, and Fu really dares not take it."

"Then let me tell the truth." Xu Zixian knew that scheming with smart people may not necessarily have good results, so it is better to tell the truth. He said in a deep voice: "I have heard that Mr. Fu is very interested in miscellaneous studies for a long time. The Hou Mansion will develop some industries in the future and need help from someone like Mr. Fu. This is why. If the teacher stays, don't try it. I can directly entrust the Hou Mansion as a general. Even if he is an official, he can also be recommended as an official in the future..."

Only then did Fu Qian realize why the prince came to pursue him so eagerly. It turned out that he was a very regretful foundation in miscellaneous learning. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was sad or happy.

"Don't worry, Prince." Fu Qian looked sad and happy, and bowed and said, "Fu must do his best to serve. Although his talent and knowledge are not outstanding, he will do his best when the Marquis' Mansion is useful."

"This is the best." Xu Zixian was really happy, but he tried hard to restrain himself and control his subordinates. He could not let his subordinates know that the superiors valued too much... He tried to calm down and said, "Please go back to the Marquis' Mansion. I want to hold a banquet to entertain the people who are reserved today. Please follow me to go back with me."

"Thank you, the prince."

In the evening, Fu Qian and Chen Daojian and others went to the Hou Mansion for a banquet. The banquet was held in the South Tower. This place was originally the place where the marquises of all dynasties were feasted in other courtyards. Although the food and food were simple, no singing girls were summoned to entertain them, but the prince was personally accompanied by the Hou Mansion. Li Yi, Dian Wei Qin Dongyang and others were all present. The atmosphere between the guests and the host was quite enthusiastic. Even Fu Qian left eight people in the Hou Mansion. In addition to the guests, the Hou Mansion in Fuzhou was generally equipped with such personnel as the current ones.

Three rank officials, dozens of generals, cooperated with more than a dozen officials, as well as some schools, managers, deputy managers, merchants, chefs, servants, gardens, cleaning, servants, maids, servants, maids, and so on.

Generally, the Hou Mansion house will employ more than a hundred people, including dozens of people who sign contracts and dozens or even hundreds of people who enlist in the military.

The Qi Palace is different from the Zhao Palace. There are sixth-rank royal chiefs, Sima of the Royal Palace, secretary of the royal palace, generals, and other officials.

Any royal palace has a large number of people, hundreds of generals, a large number of officials and servants. The Zhao royal palace is probably as many as a thousand, and ordinary royal palaces cannot be compared with it, let alone the Nan'an Marquis Mansion.

No matter what, everyone here felt Xu Zixian's determination and will, and the Hou Mansion seemed to be revitalized. Even Xu Yingbin's heyday was in his prime when he was an official, it was not the case.

But Li Yi and others still felt a hidden worry. The Hou Mansion has not yet accepted the stall left by Li Cheng, and its income is still relatively weak, and its expenses have increased sharply, and its income has not increased. It is difficult for a good cook to cook without rice. The Hou Mansion cannot really expect to borrow money to live a life.

If you cannot return the benefits to the Marquis' Mansion after the rest of the time, the grand occasion in front of you will be just a flash in the pan.

After dark, Fu Qian returned home drunk.

His wife was not asleep yet, and she welcomed her husband into the house with a lantern.

Fu Qian put the money on the table. Although it was only a thousand quotations, the yellow copper color was particularly pleasant under the faint lights.

"This is Yiguan money, and I will give Yiguan again in the middle of the month and the end of the month." Fu Qian was very happy and said, "There are also gifts of grain, firewood, meat, cloth, etc., and my family will no longer be short of money from now on."

Of course my wife was happy. The family had drunk porridge for half a month before, and the children were so hungry that they had no help from relatives. The neighbors were laughing at me. This taste would not be understood by anyone who had never experienced it.

The wife couldn't help but say, "The sisters all said that I shouldn't have married you at the beginning, but now I want to ask them to see whose husband is stronger."

Fu Qian nodded and said, "I know you have suffered in recent years. Don't worry, I will make up for it one by one."

The wife was surprised and said, "Don't do what you shouldn't do in the Marquis' Mansion and get the money you shouldn't get."

"How is this possible?" Fu Qian said dissatisfied: "The prince wants to do great things with me, and he will slowly increase the reward. When the matter is done, my monthly salary will increase and I will also recommend me as an official. Then you will be the wife of the official. Let's see what your relatives and friends will look like at that time."

Fu Qian's wife felt a little relieved, but said: "The prince wants to get Li Cheng's property. Everyone knows this. I am still listening to people in the town today. They all say that the prince is too easy to see things. Li Cheng is behind Qishan thieves. Those are strong men who kill people without blinking. The prince of the Marquis's family may not see it."

This is really a big concern. Fu Qian is a smart man. Today, he felt that the Marquis' Mansion was insufficient in financial resources. If he wanted to expand his influence, he would have to increase his income.

Now the country and the court are in trouble at home and abroad, and many local tyrants are strengthening their strength. The court has been suppressing the royal family in the past few years, and has only relaxed slightly since King Zhao arrived in Fuzhou. However, the power struggle in the capital is still quite powerful. The left prime minister Han Zhong is a faction to reduce the vassal state, and he is strongly committed to suppressing the royal family and local tyrants, weakening local military power and financial power, and returning all his interests to the center.

Right Prime Minister Xu Xiashang was born in a royal family and believed that the royal family was the foundation of the country, the center and the local area were important, and the emptiness of the outside and the inside was not a good strategy.

There are also three redundant problems, including local centrifugation, financial planning, and military system.

The rest of the matter is actually not the most important thing, but the important thing is wealth.

The military and political system of the Great Wei Dynasty, whether it is the center or the local government, is not too big. The main problem is that there are refugees inside, the Eastern Hu, Western Qiang, Northern Lu, and pirates rampant, and soldiers and wages everywhere. The country is fighting poorer and poorer, and the wealth is difficult to sustain.

The long-term war brought great problems and troubles, and the collapse of the dynasty is mostly caused by this.

Fu Qian would not consider these major issues, but he considered whether the Hou Mansion could really achieve what the crown prince imagined, slowly recovering financial resources and enriching manpower.

"I can only take one step, look at it." Fu Qian's excitement reduced a lot, and said, "But I still have to do my best to eat the king's salary and be loyal to the king."
