Manbao stuffed the money into the system, and Mr. Zhuang stayed in seclusion for three days to study. It was not until the third day that he said to them: "I will take you to see a gentleman and inquire about the government examination."

In the past three days, Zhou Lang took out the ligustrum lucidum and dried ginger in batches, visited all the medicine shops in Yizhou City, and exchanged countless copper coins.

Unlike Luojiang County, where there is only one drug store, there are many drug stores in Yizhou City, the largest of which are three, and Jishitang is just one of them.

There are several small pharmacies down there. In the past three days, Zhou Lang found these pharmacies with two small cloth bags on his back and asked people. Then he asked about the prices with the ligustrum lucidum and dried ginger in his hands, and listed the prices of each shop's pharmacies.

I wrote down the pricing.

He decided to choose a drug store with the highest price and the easiest to get along with.

Man Bao thought, "You want to send it to Yizhou City anyway, so just sell it to a few more companies."

She said: "With so many mountains in our house, more and more Ligustrum lucidum will be planted. There are also many people in the village planting ginger. If they plant more, you can harvest the old ginger from them and dry it, or directly

Let them dry in the sun and then transport them to Yizhou City to sell."

Zhou Lang thought about it seriously. If they brought medicinal materials from the village, they must have used an ox cart to pull them over. Anyway, it was an ox cart, one sack or two sacks. Of course, the bigger they were.

The more the better.

If we don’t have that many at home, we can only buy them from people in the village.

Zhou Lang clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Manbao, you are still smart, then I will go out to look for it tomorrow. I have also talked to the shopkeepers of those medicine shops in the past two days. I will go out for a meal tomorrow, and then

Let’s have a chat and see if they are willing to purchase in bulk.”

Man Bao nodded, "It's best to ask them how much they consume in a month. If we can guarantee the supply, what price will they give."

Man Bao said: "Fourth brother, you have to figure out how much we can provide them. It's best to set a contract. We are not afraid that they will not accept it after we deliver it, but will lower the price instead."

Zhou Lang had a headache, "I can't write a contract."

"Don't worry, this can't be done in one day, and I can do it," Man Bao said, "If they don't write it by then, I will write it for you."

"Okay, Manbao, you are smart and I will listen to you."

So, the next day Zhou Lang took a bunch of money from Man Bao and went out, while Man Bao, Bai Shanbao and the others went out with Mr. Zhuang.

Daji drove a carriage, and the three young men helped Mr. Zhuang into the carriage, opened the window, and smelled the smoke coming in from the outside, and asked Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, who is the gentleman we are going to meet?"

"

Mr. Zhuang was disappointed, "It's a gentleman named Lan. He is a teacher of Fu Xue. He was a classmate with me as a teacher."

"Oh -" the three of them responded obediently, and Manbao asked, "Sir, is he very powerful?"

Mr. Zhuang stroked his beard and smiled: "It's very powerful. You'll know it when you see it."

Mr. Lan lives near Fuxue, not far from their small courtyard. Two days ago, Mr. Zhuang asked Daji to hand over a greeting card, so when he arrived at the door, he knocked twice before someone opened the door.

When the servant saw Mr. Zhuang, he bent down and asked, "But Mr. Zhuang from Luojiang County?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled and nodded, "Exactly."

The servant then bent over and turned sideways, and said quickly: "Sir, please come in quickly. Our master has been waiting for you early in the morning."

Mr. Zhuang took three disciples and Daji inside, and then entered the courtyard. A middle-aged man with vigorous steps came out to greet him. He looked to be seven or eight years younger than Mr. Zhuang. When he saw Mr. Zhuang, his eyes flashed.

Liang, "Brother Zhuang?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled and greeted with a loud laugh, "Zhongcheng, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"

Lan Cheng walked a few steps quickly and smiled at each other with Mr. Zhuang, who was also very happy. "We haven't seen each other for many years. I wrote to you first, but you never replied to me. I thought..."

I thought you were dead.

The two of them had studied together in the Fu School and had a good relationship during that time. They had not seen each other for many years and had a lot to say. After greeting each other for a while, Mr. Zhuang asked his three disciples to come forward and pay homage to Lan Cheng.

Lan Cheng stroked his beard and waited for them to bow down. He smiled and raised his hand and said, "Your husband and I were classmates and studied together for four or five years. You can call me uncle."

The three of them glanced at Mr. Zhuang before bowing again and calling him "Uncle."

Lan Cheng stroked his beard with satisfaction and then realized that Man Bao standing on the far left was a young lady. He was stunned for a moment and looked at Mr. Zhuang, "Brother Zhuang, is this your child?"

Otherwise, who would accept a female doll as a disciple?

Mr. Zhuang shook his head with a smile and introduced: "Her name is Zhou Man. She is my eldest disciple. She is a very smart child."

Manbao smiled sheepishly at Lancheng.

Lan Cheng was just stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Since you said that, it seems that this child is very smart. By the way, which child do you think is going to take the imperial examination?"

Mr. Zhuang then nodded to Bai Shanbao and said, "This is my second disciple, Bai Shan. You can take a test to see how good he is."

He smiled and said: "I haven't been to Fucheng for many years, and I don't know what the current level of students in Fucheng is. Just based on the level when we entered school, I think this child can give it a try."

Lan Cheng felt that this boy was indeed too young, but he also knew his classmate. He had always been steady and would not exaggerate.

He said that if Bai Shan has this ability, he probably does.

So, he was not polite and took the exam directly.

To take the imperial examination, of course it is not enough to just read the basic subset. The Classics and History subset and even the miscellaneous books are indispensable.

Although some books will not be very in-depth, they will all be involved, so they are more comprehensive.

But to ensure that you can read so many books at a young age, you must not only have a good family background and have enough books to read, but you must also be smart and self-disciplined.

He didn't expect that Bai Shan could actually answer the questions, so he couldn't help but take the test a little too far.

Mr. Zhuang pointed at Man Bao and said with a smile: "Come on, go help your junior brothers and let Mr. Lan see what you have learned."

Lan Cheng glanced at Mr. Zhuang, smiled, and looked at Man Bao.

Man Bao then secretly glanced at Bai Shanbao and saw that he was sweating on his forehead and a little tired. He knew that he was exhausted after being tested for half an hour, so he bowed his hands and answered for him.

Lan Cheng is a teacher at Fu Xue. He has been a teacher in Fu Xue for more than ten years. He has seen all kinds of students, including smart students like Bai Shan and Zhou Man.

But they are not as young as they are, and Zhou Man is still a girl.

The more he took the exam, the more Lan Cheng couldn't help but sigh, why is this a girl?

If he were a boy and he was accepted directly as his disciple, he might become a good story in the future.
