This charity auction hosted by the Ministry of Revenue was very successful. When Cui Shixue saw the large donation, his eyes were smiling in a straight line, and it actually exceeded 2 million taels and was close to 3 million. This was too much.

But he also understood that most of the charity money was actually the most expensive of the saints, and the five places allowed to participate in the imperial examinations by business owners. The most expensive one was sold for 500,000 taels.

It is conceivable that Dafeng is rich or merchants, and the ones who are not short of money are also them. What they lack is an opportunity to change the court, and the imperial examination is one of them.

It is said to be a charity auction, but it is actually an opportunity to buy it with real money and silver. If you really want to be criticized by the sour scholars, it is just like selling official positions, but it still has to take the exam for this quota.

But it doesn't prevent people from competing for this quota. After all, merchants are not not not studying, they are also studying, not even worse than the aristocratic family. Their etiquette is also outstanding, but they just don't have the opportunity to participate in the scientific examination.

Now there is such an opportunity in front of you, you can get it with money, or do good deeds, be famous and profitable. It would be strange if the businessman who has always pursued profits does not compete with you.

After all, once you really pass the Jinshi, your family will change. That is a good thing to truly glorify your ancestors. What is the mere money?

Of course, everything has two sides, and some people will definitely think it is unfair, but this is the case in the world, so how can there be a truly fair thing? Now that the national crisis is in the face of fairness, who will be fair to the affected people?

What I felt most uncomfortable was the students who were brought in by chance to see the world. Some of them came from poor families and lived a difficult life. Now that I have seen such an auction, I feel so sad that some people don’t regard money as money.

Especially those who auction the imperial examination quota for hundreds of thousands of taels, they even made them say unfair.

The dignified merchants were full of money, but they had the opportunity to compete fairly with them because they had a few stinky money.

How could they be willing to do this?

If you are unwilling to give up, you will talk too much.

Three students in the cottage said angrily that this kind of auction is meaningless. The imperial examination was originally a selection of pillars for the country, but now it is stinking to be a slander. The character of scholars is demolished to nothing left.

When Qin Liuxi heard these conversations, she couldn't help but laugh and walked out of the darkness.

The students on the opposite side did not expect someone to come back. When they heard laughter, their faces changed. Then they looked at a man and a woman on the opposite side. The man was more charming than a woman. Although the woman did not dress up as a woman nowadays, she just wore a high bun and tied it with a wooden hairpin that looked like a ruler. Her robe looked like a Taoist robe, but she could tell she was a woman with a clear temperament.

"The character of scholars is like you, who are making trouble and making a fuss in the thatched cottage?" Qin Liuxi looked at these people. She saw them on the top floor just now. They were all above the top and were pretentious, and they were all the kind of people who seek fame.

After being sarcastic by these words, several young students all had a dark face and said, "Who are you? If you don't understand, don't look at the inappropriate ones, don't listen to the inappropriate ones?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that since you say that this auction is meaningless, why should you come? Are you just going to see the world and see if there is a chance to get the green eyes of noble people so that you can take the opportunity to soar into the sky?"

The people were immediately embarrassed and angry, with a hot face. The woman spoke too rudely. Although this was the truth, it was really embarrassing to be so sarcastic.

They were about to say something to refute, but Qin Liuxi spoke again.

"You are afraid that where Jiuxuan is, you don't know. Such a big charity auction is really no one everywhere and no ears across the wall? What you said just now is probably already in the ears of many people. Congratulations, you have ruined your future with your own hands."

As soon as they finished speaking, they panicked and subconsciously looked around. They didn't pay attention to it, but in some corners, it seemed that there were people standing.

So what they just complained was really heard?

Thinking of this, their faces changed from black to white.

Qin Liuxi shook his head slightly. Such a person is useless.

She turned around, thought of something, and looked at them again, saying, "There are indeed many unfair things in the world, but who says that the style of a merchant who comes from a merchant must be worse than that of a scholar? There are many of them who are much better at studying and not knowing how to adapt. The merchants can be the pillars of the country and can govern the country and ensure stability. All they lack is an opportunity. You say that it is unfair, but this opportunity is obtained for nothing? Even if it is bought, it is bought with real money. Whose bank is blowing from the strong wind? Merchants and businessmen must plan and control business, and the factors that need to be considered are no less than officials. Since it is the silver earned by hard work, what is the injustice?"

Qin Liuxi put his hands behind his back and said, "Putting aside these so-called unfairness or not, the price paid by this auction, whether it is the person who gave the auction items or the good people who bought things, is much higher than the goods themselves, but it is all for disaster relief, and is done for the people who are affected by the disaster. Do you think it has no meaning? Its original intention is to raise funds to provide disaster relief. This is the meaning. Do you refute to ignore the victims or the court?"

This hat is full of thorns, who dares to wear it?

Several people argued urgently: "Don't swear by blood, we don't mean that."

"But didn't you just say that such an auction is meaningless?"

"I……"

Qin Liuxi said lightly: "Scholars should cultivate their minds first, otherwise they will be reading the books of sages in vain!"

She left this sentence and said nothing more.

Feng Qi: "It's just a few sour and silly reading books. What are they talking about?"

Qin Liuxi: "So some people pretend to be noble and cannot see clearly what they are, but they still have to hold on."

Several students: "..."

The other party successfully aroused the desire of scholars to fight.

But seeing that there were many figures in the darkness, they didn't want to stay here at all. They covered their faces with their sleeves, and then they hurriedly slipped away.

Seeing that it was quiet here, there were two people walking out of the darkness. Who would be Chui Shixue and the Minister of Revenue?

Qian Shangshu stroked his beard and said, "This master of Guan Wuhui has a bit of temper."

Cui Shixue fell behind him and stood there with a smile: "It's nothing if you have the ability and have a temper. The most fear is that you are not capable and have a bad temper!"

Qian Shangshu glanced at him and said, "I really admire this person when I heard what Changxiao said."

Cui Shixue answered without hesitation and said, "A capable high-minded person will naturally praise everyone."

Qian Shangshu snorted and said, "Go and ask someone to check who those students are."

They actually said that the auction held by the Ministry of Revenue is meaningless? These millions of donations are meaningless. Is it meaningful that even the few miscellaneous hairs on their mouths that cannot be blown?
