"It's over, why did you forget this?" Li Kui suddenly thought that he still had books to memorize, and he suddenly became nervous as if there were thorns in his back.

The third uncle asked worriedly: "Kui Wazi, what's wrong?"

Li Kui smiled bitterly: "Third uncle, there are still five days before the boy is supposed to go to the teacher to endorse the book, but..."

The third uncle smiled and said: "If you have time, you can reach Yishui County in four days at most, and you can leave Feixian County today." The more he sees Li Kui, the more he likes him. Now he is convinced that Li Kui is the talent to revitalize the family. Baizhang Village has been prosperous for hundreds of years.

Such a one came out.

The moon on the fifteenth... eh, no, the fifteenth is a good day. It is the day when his teacher will test his learning results in the past half month. For Li Kui, he has not done anything serious in the past half month.

.

It seems to be useful for two things.

Liu Baosheng, the general who wanted to make the family achieve great things but had no vision, was so confused that if an outsider knew about it, they would definitely say Li Kui, you have caused so much trouble to others.

He even hooked up with a fifth-grade military officer to become a eunuch as his godfather. Don't ask, Liu Baosheng, who wanted to be famous, could really do it.

Then, he went to help retrieve the Liu family's robbed property, and by the way, he took advantage of the gangsters and killed a group of bandits and a copycat village.

The results were gratifying, and the family obtained 30,000 yuan of start-up capital.

Today, it can be said that Li Kui has no financial constraints at all and has achieved a great success in Yishui County.

He also wanted to be famous on Jingdong East Road, but unfortunately, he was a poor boy who grew up in the mountains. Even if he suddenly became rich, he was still a small caterpillar in a territory that was almost an entire province.

Thinking of this, Li Kui really didn't dare to delay on the road. According to the speed of his tribe, it would take at least four or five days to reach the county, so he decided to run back.

"No, I have to go back early. I didn't bring the book with me." Li Kui came to exterminate the bandits. It wouldn't make sense if he had brought a book of The Book of Songs or the Analects of Confucius with him!

After saying that, he jumped out of the car and shouted to Li Quan: "Li Quan, go home, let's run back."

"Don't bring the weapon. Let Uncle Qi help clean up the blood stains so that my mother won't worry." Li Quan then put his big stick on the bullock cart and ran out like a gust of wind following Li Kui.

Li Lin walked around and found that Li Kui and Li Quan had run away, and then came to the third uncle in front of him. But before he could get closer, the third uncle glared and said angrily: "Get lost, if I see you bewitching me again,

If Kui Wazi doesn't learn well, he'll beat you with the sole of his big shoe."

"Your boss is being unreasonable. I am not..."

Seeing his third uncle unhurriedly showing off the soles of his shoes, Li Lin gave up. He really had no shame to touch the soles of his third uncle's shoes again in public. What's worse is that every one of his clan members are jealous of money now.

They all followed my third uncle, and even the few hunters who followed me around before were lukewarm to me. Why? It’s not because of money. The clan has money, and they still give out money. The clan members have an idea.

Everyone is greedy for money and has no sense of loyalty. As long as the third uncle controls the family property, he will not be able to leave anything behind.

Li Lin wandered around the convoy with a frown on his face, sighing one after another.

Yishui County County Government.

County magistrate Zhou Yuan has not seen his disciple Li Kui for many days.

He also wondered that Li Kui used to study hard in the yamen. Even when he went home, he would borrow books from him and take them back to study hard. He would come to the yamen to ask for advice from him in two days at most. Reading requires talent, but it is even more important.

Diligence. He saw Li Kui's diligence and was quite satisfied.

If you really want to talk about it, Zhou Yuan felt that his motivation to take the provincial examination could not keep up with Li Kui's motivation to study. Youdao lacked talent and had to work hard to make up for it. What's more, Li Kui's talent was pretty good. Scholars, scholars, basically have a bad memory.

This is the end of the path of studying. There is no way out for those who insist on studying.

Fortunately, Li Kui has a good memory and always has his own unique insights, which makes Zhou Yuan quite pleased.

Perhaps the official duties in Yishui County were too slack, and there was not a single case for ten and a half days. It was almost the end of the year, and the transfer envoys were not dispatched by the Yamen, which made these days very boring.

Zhou Yuan called Li Qing, a master who was desperate enough to resign in order for his son to pass the imperial examination and become a master of custody.

Speaking of which, Zhou Yuan didn't look down on Li Qing in any way.

He even tried to go to school to test the knowledge of Li Qing's son Li Yun. Anyway, he had already accepted Li Kui as a disciple, so it didn't matter if he had one more. In his opinion, Li Qing was willing to give up his status as a head catcher and give up his position as a head catcher.

As his son embarks on a career path, Li Yun's talent and learning will at least not be much different.

The most enthusiastic thing that the local officials of the Song Dynasty did was to promote the reading seeds in their jurisdiction.

It would be better if you are very young, around ten years old. Because in the Song Dynasty, there was a direct path away from the normal imperial examination route - the Prodigy Examination.

As long as the local officials strongly recommend and the court officials approve, the emperor will personally go to the school to take the recommended prodigy, which is called the prodigy exam. The requirement for the prodigy exam is that the age is under 15 years old. And the students who pass the prodigy exam,

Although it is not realistic to become an official, and they usually spend a few years in Taixue. However, the achievements of those who are awarded Jinshi by prodigies are generally not too low.

The results of the school entrance examination were embarrassing. In the eyes of Zhou Yuan, a Jinshi master, Li Yun was just a stupid son!

It's not that I'm really stupid, but in this field of study, there is absolutely no chance of getting ahead. If you can pass the county school, you will already be a high-stakes person. There is definitely no chance in the state's tribute examination. This is still an imperial examination like Yishui.

In the desert, if you go to places like Wu County, Changzhou, etc., the teachers will not accept such students, and it is easy to ruin your reputation. After almost two years of school, a guy who can even memorize hundreds of family names and a thousand-character essay correctly is still

What future is there?

Fortunately, Li Yun had a good life and was born in Yizhou.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that Yizhou really doesn’t have the seeds for reading. Every generation of the Yan family in Linyi has no shortage of students, and they have excellent knowledge and character. It’s just that the descendants of the Yan family in the official family have the opportunity to study in Taixue. How is this possible?

I wasted my time studying in the state. All the officials’ children in the state went to Taixue to study, and the students who stayed in the local area were getting worse one after another.

Precisely because Zhou Yuan firmly judged that Li Qing's son did not have the Hui Gen to study, he sighed every time he saw this determined head catcher. He wanted to tell Li Qing the truth, but unfortunately, it was too hurtful and he was not a gentleman.

What you did.

We can only persuade Li Qing to stay after the Chinese New Year before leaving the Yamen.

However, Li Qing's work is indeed reassuring. Even though he will leave the Yamen soon, he works hard without any complaints.

The eldest master was looking for him, so Li Qing naturally didn't dare to neglect him and hurried to the second hall.

He bowed and asked, "My lord, I am looking for a humble position. What can I do for you?"

"It's not a big deal. How is your son studying now?" Zhou Yuan asked nonchalantly.

Li Qing looked shocked, and then he became ecstatic. Could it be that the stinky boy Li Yun was attracted by the big boss and wanted to be accepted as a disciple? Li Kui's fellow was also accepted, and his own son was not bad either. Speaking of his own

His son, Li Qing, immediately brightened up: "Thank you so much for your concern, sir. My son studies very hard and devotes himself to learning. The teacher who teaches me often boasts that my son has made great progress. I will prepare to study the Analects of Confucius after the Chinese New Year. Sir, I want to

Are you going to test Li Yun's knowledge? I'll send someone to find him right away."

Zhou Yuan was shocked by Li Qing's enthusiasm. He was a Jinshi, not blind, and had a smart mind. How could he not see that Li Qing actually thought he wanted to accept Li Yun as his disciple?

If he really wanted to do this, he, the magistrate, would be so angry that he would hit the wall!

Zhou Yuan was frightened by Li Qing's enthusiasm and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I'm here to ask you, have you seen Li Kui recently?"

Li Kui?

Li Qing was wondering how to talk about it. He wanted to say it, but the problem was that Zhou Yuan would not be happy to hear it? Because ten days ago, he saw with his own eyes a silly boy like Li Kui near the city gate, carrying a stick worth hundreds of dollars.
