Cao Xixiong, who said the word regret, had a smile on his face, and he was full of four words of schadenfreude.

Chen Shihong also followed Cao Xixiong's words and told Cao Xixiong that he still thought that he was unparalleled in his talents, and he didn't win last time, just because of bad luck, and when he waited until the year after tomorrow, he would have to take a Xie Yuan.

"Really? That foolish brother is here to help Brother Li be proud of the science field, and he is at the top of the picture. ”

Chen Shihong also said what he meant, he heard that Cao Xixiong's sister is a talented girl, but he doesn't believe in the person in the boudoir, what a talented girl. Even if there is a talented woman, it is just a group of people touting, at most she is coarse and ink, and she is not a talented woman.

"Since Brother Li has this heart, then it is better to try it with Sister Shewen to see if Sister She's a talented girl."

Chen Shihong saw that Cao Xixiong had been provoked by himself, so he naturally continued to make an arrogant posture and nodded in agreement.

Cao Xixiong told the maid: "Go and tell the eldest girl that there is a talented man in the capital who wants to take a literary test with the eldest girl, and I don't know if this question is from Your Excellency or from her sister." ”

"Naturally, the guest is at will."

Cao Xixiong nodded, and the maid returned to Xiulou and told Cao Chifeng about it.

"Big girl, this new willow has already been written, why did you write such a simple poem."

"This person comes to compete, whether he is talented or not, I don't want to make it difficult for him, if he is really talented, the old question can also come up with new ideas, if there is no talent, he writes a poem casually, I also have a poem, he saw the poem, and naturally he will leave with interest."

The maid said the topic, and after Chen Shihong listened to it, he asked people to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wave it.

Cao Xixiong stepped forward to take a look, only to see the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on it written:

"The wind is the softest and the rain is the most, and the roots and buds grow in four branches.

Painting the bridge, the smoke is shallow, the poetry is thin, and Wu Yuanchun is dancing and falling.

Mopping gold should be a pity, who thinks about the snow?

If the warbler asks about the length of the relationship, please check the green and green silk. ”

Although Cao Xixiong didn't understand the quality of poetry, when he saw Chen Shihong in such a short time, he couldn't help but think: "This kid surnamed Li has some knowledge, so I don't know if my sister has a way to make it difficult for him." ”

The maid sent the poem over, and after Cao Chifeng read it, he said to the maid: "This son is from Fengcheng?" ”

"Huh? How do you know, Miss? ”

Cao Chifeng told him that this is Fengcheng Willow, Fengcheng is the ancient capital of the Four Dynasties, this painting bridge, Wu Yuan are all famous scenery in Fengcheng, she thought to herself that this unintentional question, just met an expert.

Looking at the couplet at the end of the poem, this person seems to be the same as Lin Duowen, who came with a courtship heart.

However, Cao Chifeng was not so annoyed, and also wrote a poem, and then told the maid to let that Li Gongzi wait to write a poem, with no limit on the topic and rhyme.

The maid nodded and handed over the poem made by Cao Chifeng.

After Chen Shihong took it, he read in his mouth:

"Green and yellow in February, a branch near the water.

The dance style is weak and delicate, and the moon is affectionate and delicate.

She is not worthy of giving away, and she is already lovesick.

If the Eastern Emperor knows Nong's blue eyes, he will live up to the spring and add a few feet of silk. ”

After Chen Shihong finished reading, he was very excited in his heart, thinking that this Cao Chifeng is really a talented woman, if he can marry this woman, wouldn't it be beautiful to chant in the future.

After the maid said Cao Chifeng's request, Chen Shihong smiled and understood Cao Chifeng's intentions, Cao Chifeng was worried that the previous poem was not made by himself, so he let himself make a poem, so that he could verify the style of poetry.

Chen Shihong thought about it, so he also wrote a poem.

"The light of the lake is floating for a few days, who knows the peak of the wind.

Open the ancient temple in the current month, scattered as an empty mountain and endless streams.

In the golden wall shadow shaking ice mirror, the fish and dragon are deep in the cold autumn.

A round of direct Caoxi Road, Bai Lang's family is all over the continent. ”

This poem was written by Chen Shihong in the past, and it was his most proud work, and after it was submitted, he waited quietly.

After Cao Chifeng read it, he said to the maid: "This poem is full of weather, pride, this life is not an ordinary person, tell my brother, don't slack off." ”

"Miss, don't you write a song about harmony?"

"I've never been out, how have I ever seen such a weather, if it is made with spring grass flowers and birds, it will make connoisseurs laugh."

The maid arrived in the hall, and after the confession, Cao Xixiong saw that his sister couldn't stop him, so he was depressed in his heart, and reluctantly said: "Brother Li is talented, talented." ”

"Sister Ling really has the talent to stop singing, but she is abrupt, please forgive Brother Cao."

Cao Xixiong couldn't help Chen Shihong when he saw it, and he didn't want to talk more with Chen Shihong.

Chen Shihong observed the words and looks, since he had already obtained this poem today, he naturally did not want to stay longer, so he left here.

After Chen Shihong arrived at the inn, he chanted endlessly, so naturally he didn't need to go into detail, and Cao Chifeng, looking at the two poems, was also full of smiles on his face.

Seeing Cao Chifeng like this, the maid said to Cao Chifeng: "Big girl, you don't know, this Li Gongzi is also first-class in appearance, and that day that Xin Wubo was still a few miles inferior to him." It's a pity that he is so ordinary, but he didn't get lifted. ”

"This son, presumably disdainful of using the current text to gain fame, or inconvenient luck is not good, no matter how well this article is written, if there is no Zhu Yi nodding secretly, he will not be able to gain a reputation."

After Cao Chifeng finished speaking, he said to the maid: "Okay, don't talk about this matter in the future." ”

"Haha, big girl, you have ...... in your heart"

"If you talk nonsense, I'm going to be angry."

"Big girl, it's not me talking nonsense, if this Li Gongzi is white now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fulfill your wishes, I hope he will take the lead as soon as possible, become a jinshi, and enter the Hanlin Academy, then he will be the right person with the young lady."

Cao Chifeng didn't answer, but he had this idea in his heart.

Time flies, and soon the day of summoning the prefect will come.

Chen Shihong changed into court clothes, arrived at the yamen, the official respectfully greeted him into the back hall of the palace, and then, when the prefect and county were all gathered, the prefect came out, and after everyone saluted, the prefect asked them to sit down and said business.

This is the matter of the displaced people in Canghai Prefecture, originally those who were relegated to the untouchable status because of the defeat have passed three generations, and according to the practice of the imperial court, they will be taken off the untouchable.

However, after this separation, these people did not have more fields to cultivate, and according to the rules of Emperor Ren, they also had to pay Ding Yin.

Originally, this was intended to keep these people from being idle and idle, but what they could do has already been done, and now some of them have nowhere to go out if they want to do coolies, so these people make a living by begging.

According to the prefect's investigation, there are 100,000 beggars in this Canghai Mansion, and the prefect informed the imperial court of the pardon, and the imperial court also allowed it, but so many displaced people, if they are not settled, it will be a trouble after all.

So the prefect found them, just to ask how to deal with it, if it was not handled properly, it would provoke a civil uprising, not to mention the prefect's black gauze hat, the black gauze hat of most officials in Canghai Mansion could not be saved.

These magistrates either read dead books, or after the honors, they still rely on their own hired masters for government affairs, and they have no opinions at all.

They either don't speak, or they do everything according to the prefect's arrangement.

When the prefect saw them like this, he thought to himself that if he had a way, he would have ordered you to do it a long time ago, so why would he summon you here to discuss.

Chen Shihong saw that they really had no choice, so Mao recommended himself and said his plan.

First of all, according to the method of the previous dynasty, an emergency hospital was set up, and all this clothing and food were paid from the yamen.

Of course, because of the large number of people, it is impossible for the yamen to support all of them, so they only take in the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and the young and strong are not allowed to enter.

The second is to find the local beggar, let him restrain him, the beggars to which he belongs, must be registered, distributed waist cards, if there are beggars from other places, they must be expelled, and they are not allowed to come to the county. If there is a suspicious person, it must be reported to the beggar, and the beggar is telling the yamen.

Chen Shihong introduced that in this case, 100,000 people are scattered all over the country and cannot be contacted, even if they have the heart, it is easy to break it.

However, this is all an expedient measure, and in the end, Chen Shihong said that the key point is to steal with beggars.

This beggar walks the streets and alleys, and is familiar with the place, if you can let them help catch the prisoners, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and you can give them a reward when the time comes, so that they have the right way to do, and naturally they will not have the heart to take risks.

After hearing this, the prefect told Chen Shihong that these three points are not bad, but this person is still there, and the danger is there.

Chen Shihong told the prefect that if he wanted to solve the problem properly, he would let the big families lend them money to buy land, just like Lin Quan did back then.

The prefect doesn't say much, this matter is just as prestigious as Lin Quan, even if they can borrow it, it is only a drop in the bucket.

Chen Shihong told the prefect that another way is to let beggars be ordered to beg, wait until the autumn harvest, go to the village, and beg from house to house, which is allowed once a year, and the income is enough to survive the winter.

"This, this is not appropriate, let's discuss it again."

Chen Shihong saw that the prefect had no decision, so he didn't say anything, at this time a county order opened his mouth and told the prefect that this beggar was actually not poor, he was really a rich person, and the beggar could actually support everyone.

After hearing this, the prefect nodded, played the court, and waited until the court agreed, so he did what Chen Shihong said.

After dispersing, Chen Shihong found the four aggregates and asked respectfully: "Senior, I don't know if you know anything about beggars. ”

"You are asking the right person, in fact, this beggar is divided into two kinds, one is called the beggar gang, which is the dirty clothes gang, which is from the southern country, these people are in peace, and since the death of their gang leader Zhong Changyi, they have disappeared without a trace. As for the beggars, they are also called poor families, in fact, there is also a gang leader, named Bi Yidong, but he was exterminated by the imperial court. Since then, the poor family has been torn apart, and each has its own master. ”
