Chapter 973: The undercurrent under the government

The examination is over, but it is still one more ten days before Zhang Bang, but this time is the most torturous day for scholars.

Those who can come to this point and choose to compete for the fame of Jinshi must be people who are truly talented and learned. The gap between them will not be too outrageous, except for some real geniuses, who are reasonable in high school.

In essence, even those geniuses are not to be worried. The high or low results of the entrance examination are directly related to the ranking of the palace examination and the ceiling after they enter the office. If you are only on the list, you will almost have no chance with the second-class jinshi, let alone become a Hanlin official.

In the same way, the scholars who finished the exam seemed worried, and many simply went to the Qinglou to borrow wine to relieve their sorrows.

Of course, some of the people who made a mistake at the beginning or played abnormally have silently prepared their baggage and are ready to leave Beijing at any time.

Wang Honghai is naturally no exception, and he also experiences this kind of suffering.

However, it was only two days of suffering, and their group of last year's new imperial examination people were all called to the Shuntian Mansion to catch the strong man for the teacher to make the "Shuntian Daily".

He didn't complain in his heart, and he was vaguely excited, and soon devoted himself to the work.

Ning Jiang seemed to be too idle in the military department, so he asked the Guangdong scholars who took the exam to write out the answer sheet silently, and then took the paper away with great excitement.

The scholars couldn't help but look at each other, but they didn't know whether Ning Jiang was happy that they were famous, or if he was simply gloating.

Shuntian Mansion, the officials dispersed from the second hall, and started a new day's work.

Huang Zhongda presided over the order, which was a daily work that he originally enjoyed very much, but now it made him sit on pins and needles.

Since the Yuan Zhou case found out Yan Hong's major suspicion, he chose to deal with this matter, and was ready to deal with Lin Haoran's attack on this matter. But on the contrary, Lin Haoran seemed to have forgotten about this matter and concentrated on the "Shuntian Daily" he organized.

It's just that the more indifferent Lin Haoran is, the more he thinks that Lin Haoran is preparing to make a big move, and he will definitely use this matter to ruin his reputation, so as to get rid of him, the Yin of Shuntian Mansion.

Back in the signing room, the henchman prepared ginseng tea as before, but a cup of ginseng tea was in his stomach, but it still couldn't calm him down.

Although it was another quiet morning meeting, his heart could not be calm for a long time, and he always felt that Lin Haoran's fart under the hall today was a sign that his big move was coming.

"I've seen Lord Fu Yin!" Chen Tongju came in from outside and saluted respectfully.

Huang Zhongda's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked eagerly, "Did that kid move?" ”

These days, he has no intention of daily affairs, mainly staring at Lin Haoran's every move, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles.

"Yes or no!" Chen Tongju nodded and shook his head, and then said, "According to the news I just got, Lin Fucheng suddenly decided today that the "Shuntian Daily" is no longer free, but charges ten cents per copy. ”

At the end of the day, he stretched out his hands and made a cross with his two index fingers.

"Ten cents? Is he crazy? Who would be so stupid as to spend ten pennies on those vulgar waste paper! Huang Zhongda was slightly stunned, and then laughed coldly.

Regarding Lin Haoran's plan to try to raise personnel to supplement the fast shift officials through the income generated by "Shuntian Daily", he was extremely unoptimistic from the beginning.

From ancient times to the present, the books that can be sold for money are none other than the articles and poems of celebrities, and no matter how poor they are, they are also the true wisdom and insight of the group of great materials in the Hanlin Academy.

is also like this, he did not stop this matter, but to see how this kid ended miserably, thus becoming a joke in the capital.

At the moment, when I heard that the waste paper they poured was actually sold for ten cents a piece, I was surprised, but it was more ridiculous, thinking that Lin Haoran was completely whimsical.

"Chen Tongju, you heard me right, right?" Master He also felt incredulous, and immediately went to seek verification.

Chen Tongju met Huang Zhongda's gaze with the same verification, and replied with a slight smile, "This matter is true, I'm afraid it has been sold on the street at the moment." ”

"Huh...... Who would spend ten pennies on a piece of torn paper! Master He was self-assured and well-informed, and immediately shook his head.

"Lin Fucheng is probably used to being a soil overlord in Guangdong, and he thought that the scholars in the capital would also sell his face, so he dared to open his mouth like this!" Chen Tongju smiled gloatingly.

The reason why he hurriedly brought this news was that he was not optimistic about the sales prospects of "Shuncheon Daily" and Lin Haoran's income-generating project, but wanted to share this joy with Huang Zhongda.

The corners of Huang Zhongda's mouth curled slightly, and he suddenly called in an entourage and directly ordered, "Go, buy a copy of "Shuntian Daily". ”

Facing the incomprehensible gazes of Chen Tongju and his master, he smiled indifferently and said, "We can't let Lin Fucheng really not be able to sell a single share!" And when it is lit tomorrow, it will not work without this thing, and this Fu Yin still has to talk about it! ”

When Master He heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up, full of expectations for tomorrow's point, this is to use this incident to make trouble, and it will undoubtedly effectively hit Lin Haoran.

Chen Tongjuan's heart suddenly moved, but he said seriously to Huang Zhongda, "Lord Fu Yin, this first installment of the fee will inevitably be charged by someone to sell his face." Why don't we wait a little longer and wait until the data of the third issue comes out and then make a difficulty? ”

"That's a great move! First, it can catch him off guard, and second, the timing is better. Master He's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately agreed.

Huang Zhongda's brows furrowed slightly, and he hated Lin Haoran in his heart. Although I knew that it would be better to wait a few days, this kind of waiting was too painful, and it was as uncomfortable as waiting for the list to be presented.

"Dong Weng, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" Master He saw Huang Zhongda's hesitation, and immediately persuaded him.

Huang Zhongda shook his head slowly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with murderous intent, "The third issue is too long, and we will act when the second issue is over, and we will meet Sun Tong and sentence them together in the evening." ”

"Yes!" Chen Tongju and Master He exchanged glances and responded in unison.

Although they thought that the data of the third phase was more convincing, so that they could slap Lin Haoran hard, Lord Fu Yin obviously did not have this patience.

It's just that Lin Haoran is so foolish, the waste paper of ten cents will inevitably be patronized, even if he only gets the data of one issue, it is enough to blame him and step on him fiercely.

Their efficiency was very high, and they launched an operation in the evening of the same day, recruiting personnel to prepare against Lin Haoran, just waiting for the day of trouble.
