"I'm not interesting." The third uncle laughed and said, "Just let his grandfather see, those three dolls have a show, don't they have a show?" ”

What kind of character is Wang Xingye? Sticking to the hair is more jīng than a monkey, can he not know the meaning of the third uncle of the Dao?

The clansmen know that Wang Xianxi is a prodigal son who does not learn and does not know how to do it, although the prodigal son is now turning back, but it is only a year and a half when he is full, and he has also experienced a super triple jump from a temporary worker to a regular worker to an official during this period, so I don't believe that he can have much time to study

But he dared to sign up for the Xiucai exam...... If Xiucai is so easy to test, those decades-old boys will find a piece of tofu and die. In connection with the shady scenes of the legendary imperial examinations, the children of high-ranking officials and nobles can always be on the list, etc., the people of the Wang clan speculate that his father and son must have found a shortcut to the south and a way to make Wang Xianzhong show his talents

In line with the simple idea that one toad is also caught, and three toads are also caught, the third uncle wants a few boys in the clan to hitchhike

Wang Xingye is a small nine-rank sesame official, how can he be qualified to influence the results of the imperial examination, but he found that he couldn't refuse at all, because Wang Jin and the three were also his grandsons, even if he couldn't help, he couldn't refuse, that would be too ruthless. There was no way, Wang Xingye had to pretend to think and be silent.

Seeing that he was quite embarrassed, the third uncle finally couldn't help but say, "Could it be that the three of them don't have that blessing?" ”

"Alas, uncle, I know what you mean." Wang Xingye sighed and said: "I thought I had opened up some joints for Wang Xian, but I assured my ancestors that without my old nephew, I am in the provincial capital, but I am just a nine-grade petty official, and my foundation is shallow, and my eyes are blackened at all, so I really don't have this energy." After a pause, he said: "As for why Wang Xian dared to take the Xiucai test, in fact, it was his own creation, last year's Shangyuan Festival he made a poem and won the first prize, and the members of the province were full of praise, so I was familiar with the scholars, so I wanted to try it." He finally told the truth: "This is his creation, and others can't force it......"

"So," the third uncle couldn't hide his disappointment, "are they really blessed?" ”

"Didn't I say that my eyes are blackened, what is in the pool of water in the imperial examination, whether it works or not, I don't know what to do." Wang Xingye said more than he said: "You have to let me inquire, go home for the New Year, and give you a letter, okay?" ”

"Then what's not to do." The third uncle nodded and instructed: "Try it, don't be too reluctant, forget it if you don't succeed." ”

"I'm measured." Wang Xingye said.

Dotting the bag Xiaobai and sending away the clansmen who returned with a full load, Wang Xingye asked Wang Xian to go to the study with him, and just as he was about to speak, Wang Xian raised his hand and said: "Don't look for me, I don't have time to worry about this." ”

"Stinky boy, I don't want to get involved in this." Wang Xingye sighed and said, "But the patriarch has spoken, we have to think of a way." ”

Wang Xian rarely saw his father so unconfident, and when he thought about it, he understood that it was related to his father's background. Wang Xingye was born as a sword and pen official, and if you let him cāo get a prison and change the account book, it is not a bit of a shock, but the imperial examination is a matter of transforming people, and he is not a country at all, and the father who was born as a small official will inevitably be short of breath.

"Dad, this is too troublesome." Wang Xian sighed and said: "I can still think of a way in the county, but if I want to achieve the fame of Xiucai, I have to practice the three levels, the county is just an entry, and then the government has to take the exam, and the last inspector has to take the college exam...... Do we have the ability to get through? ”

"Don't tell me about these rules," Dad said in a sullen voice: "Lao Tzu knows that the rules are the ears of the deaf, and the setting is the one holding the seal handle."

"Yes......" Dad not only watched "Three Kingdoms" to learn strategy, but also believed that practice brings true knowledge. Regarding the conclusion he came to with decades of experience, Wang Xian could only nod yes.

"Then take the opportunity of the New Year to go and walk around the scholars' houses and explore the wind" Wang Xingye resumed his domineering and ordered: "Besides, you have to be familiar, don't let the scholars forget you, you will be dumbfounded when the time comes"

"Okay." Wang Xian had no choice but to respond.

"Don't be too pushy." Successfully threw the burden to Wang Xian, Wang Xingye said relaxedly: "Inquire and let me have something to say back to the third uncle." ”

"I know it." Wang Xian nodded.

"Cheng, then I'll go back to the yamen." Wang Xingye gritted his teeth and smiled: "Study hard at home"

"Can I read it" Wang Xian finally couldn't help it: "This family is full of people, and it is even busier than my pawn history in Pujiang." I have to change places to read, or I won't be able to read anything. ”

"Don't pay for it." Wang Xingye was not allowed: "Studying, after all, it is a side job, so why don't you ...... if you can't pass the exam?"

"It doesn't matter if it's important, it's all in Daddy's mouth," Wang Xian said depressedly.

"Okay, okay," Wang Xingye said with a smile: "The people are almost here, and the bottom will be clean." ”

"Is it quiet?" Wang Xian muttered frustratedly.

Sure enough, it couldn't be quiet, and within two days, Li Guan and Zhang Ji, the scribe of the ceremonial room, came, and the two of them, on behalf of the Fuyang County Ya and Jiang County Order, came to visit Wang Xian's father and son, who had been on an errand in the Yamen.

The gifts brought by the two of them are quite rich, but they seem to be put together temporarily, but who cares about this? Wang Xian invited the two to have a drink...... Anyway, he has been inviting people to eat and drink every day recently, getting drunk all day long, and reciting a book? After eating and drinking, and talking about the aftermath, Wang Xian began to brag about his experience in Pujiang, and he got up with Zhou Zhentai all day long, and formed a good personal relationship with Zheng Fantai, and became Hu Qincha's friend, and the two were stunned.

The two of them have been on errands in the county for half their lives, and they have seen each other a few times, but every time they are kneeling, and they don't dare to breathe. Hearing that Wang Xian became friends with them, he couldn't help but say, "How did you do it?" ”

"Fate." Wang Xian smiled: "Actually, they are also ordinary people, but we don't usually have the opportunity to contact them." ”

"Then your creation is not small." The two couldn't help but awe and said, "After the rì, you can't bother to ask someone to pull the brothers." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Wang Xian promised to come down and continued to persuade him to drink non-stop.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Ji finally couldn't help but say: "By the way, people from those businesses came some time ago, right?" ”

"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded and said with a smile: "Those guys don't forget to dig wells, and they have a bit of a conscience." ”

"It's ......rare," Zhang Ji said, "What did they say?" ”

"Didn't say anything." Wang Xian said lightly: "It's just a family routine." ”

"Don't get me wrong," Zhang Ji realized that he was presumptuous in asking, and hurriedly changed his words: "What the villains mean, they didn't talk nonsense, right?" ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Xian frowned.

"That's right," Zhang Ji said softly: "Something has happened in the county recently, people must not listen to it." ”

"That's right." Wang Xian said slowly: "Then I'll listen to the two-sided words." ”

"This ......" the name of the person and the shadow of the tree, Wang Xian put too much pressure on Zhang Ji. He looked at Li Guan, meaning, don't just let me say it

How do you know that Li Guan is like a fool, just laughing, but never agreeing.

After scolding a few times in his heart, Zhang Ji had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "When the Wei people were in the county, the two businesses established were naturally very good in the original intention, but outsiders couldn't understand, and they said some strange things like 'collusion between officials and businessmen, and the impeachment of the imperial history, and the lord is under great pressure now." After a pause, he said: "And there are also very problems in the accounts of the two firms, in order to pay less money to the government, they transfer the amount of income, and the surplus is very low and very low......

"So what?" Wang Xian's tone became lighter.

"So," Zhang Ji swallowed and foamed, and whispered: "The people of the county want to see if they want to ask someone to go back to the county to discuss and change the regulations during the New Year......

"What's the change?"

"Let the businessmen withdraw their ......shares," Zhang Jiqiang said with a smile: "Of course, it is not to cut off their way of life, after the withdrawal of shares, the government will give priority to authorizing them to operate," Seeing that Wang Xian did not react, he boldly explained: "In this way, the government and business are separated, and there are many fewer councils." The government only sells a fixed amount of bags, and the extra money is all businessmen's, so there will be no disputes between the two sides. ”

Wang Xian couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: Who said that the ancients had no economic mind, is this dissatisfaction the solution? , but this is his loneliness, this kind of tax package system is also called the commercial package system, which was prevalent in the Song Dynasty, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, it became the only way for Mongolians who did not understand the economy to collect profits and taxes. At that time, almost all the power to collect taxes and monopolies was sold by the Mengyuan zhèngfǔ package, and was inherited by wealthy merchants to collect taxes or monopolizes for the government.

But this does not affect his judgment, because he knows too well that Jiang Zhixian is tossing and tossing, it must be to create an opportunity for those dog households who do not give up to replace them, so that they can gain control of the business

After Zhang Ji finished talking for a long time, he saw that Wang Xian was silent, but his face became more and more cold, and his heart couldn't help twitching, and he stabbed Li Guan with his toes.

Li Guan stepped on his toes, and Zhang Ji couldn't help but 'oops, sound.

"How?" Wang Xian frowned.

"It's okay, I, I ......" Zhang Ji smiled bitterly: "The toe kicked on the foot of the table." ”

"Be careful," Wang Xian said lightly, Zhang Ji was about to respond, but he heard him continue to say quietly: "I mean your master." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Jining said in a low voice: "What do you mean by people?" ”

"I mean, the government has to be trustworthy, and things that have been publicly announced will not be easy to change." Wang Xian said coldly: "Jiang Zhixian only thinks about his own face, what about the face of the predecessor Wei Ren?" After a pause, he unabashedly threatened: "The Wei people are now Hanlin and serve the emperor around,"
