"According to what you said, plus my businessman’s eyes, I can say for sure that the rise of Tiger and Leopard Army is just around the corner. If you pass this examination and become an official, you must remember to be an official. I believe that if we want the Li family to follow the report, we will be valued by the report as much as the Zhou family in Datong …"
Ten days have passed, and tens of millions of people in northern provinces are watching. Ten days ago, the results of the examination finally came out.
An external list of Li Xinwen and Li Jia’s sons
Knowledgeable and have some business experience, the boss directly got the second best comprehensive score. If he is the boss of the imperial examination, he is worthy of the name.
Although the comprehensive score of the second child was not marked, the arithmetic course directly got the first good score with the experience of managing the Li family’s offices …
In the face of this good news, Beijing has kept a low profile for a hundred years. For the first time, the Li family did not show the strong strength of the Li family. It celebrated the direct deep pockets and spent 100,000 silver. The Li family had a banquet for three days and three nights …
Of course, I am equally happy that there are more than 30% businessmen in Beijing.
You know, almost 1,200 of the 2,000 people who passed the examination are descendants of these businessmen.
Excluding the students who were not qualified to take the imperial examination and the former court officials, there were actually less than 600 people who were not directly surprised by Wei Zheng …
Looking at the results of the examination, Wei Zheng couldn’t help but give a sigh with emotion. "Now it seems that the imperial examination in the imperial court is really failing. More than a thousand officials passed the examination and even less than half of it. I really don’t know how those officials in the imperial court are officials …"
"And those who read it are so disappointing to Wang. Can you read so many classics as a meal …"
Wei Zheng regrets that an unexpected accident has spread rapidly in North Zhili.
Chapter five hundred and ninety-one Surprise
Scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce … The status of merchants in past dynasties is the lowest among all classes.
In this case, the imperial court of Zhongda was particularly conspicuous.
If you enter the business, the whole family will be able to be a businessman for generations, and you are not even qualified to study and take the imperial examination.
Although the businessmen in the great dynasties are rich, they are looked down upon by people … A little scholar can humiliate them more than ordinary people, but the status and status of businessmen are not as good as that of the other party. All they can do is take money to eliminate disasters.
But the times have changed.
Not qualified to take the imperial examination, they can not only take the examination organized by the Tiger and Leopard Army, but also pass the examination, so that the descendants of these businessmen who passed the examination can enter the government and honor their ancestors …
It’s not just the Li Xinwen family in Beijing that is boiling at this moment …
In the whole northern Zhili area, all the family members passed the examination, and businessmen, without exception, celebrated in their own homes.
Not only that, I usually look down on these businessmen and scholars more than government officials. At this moment, I have to go to these businessmen’s homes with a flattering smile to congratulate them.
After all, these people who pass the examination will soon become seven civil and military officials.
Maybe at ordinary times, I look down on myself more than the descendants of businessmen who have been bullied by myself. If I don’t curry favor with you now, don’t bully myself after the other party …
In the lobby of Li Xinwen’s mansion in Beijing, I never look at myself and know all the time that I am extorting money from the Li family. At this moment, it is like seeing cats and mice toasting their two sons with compliments. Li Xinwen can’t help but feel a kind of heartfelt satisfaction and pride.
At the same time, I also made a decision in my heart. From then on, the Li family must just follow the Tiger and Leopard Army and follow the North King. Because it is the Tiger and Leopard Army and the North Wang Weizheng, they will feel their status and identity for the first time and bring them glory. The Nanjing court has been unconsciously ignored by Li Xinwen …
At the end of the banquet, Li Xinwen, two slightly drunk sons, directly decided, "Now that you have been selected by the North King to handle affairs in the North King, our Li family will become an official family …"
"Father knows very well that our Li family will change from a despised businessman to a polite greeting to Li Lao when the magistrate sees me in just a few days … All this is brought to us by the Tiger and Leopard Army and the North King. For the North King’s Wangfu to formulate various policies, we Li Fu must conditionally support and repay the North King …"
The boss replied with a hint of drunkenness, "Father, our current status and position are given by the North King. Without the North King, we are nothing. I completely agree with what you just said. If you have any decision, just say that I absolutely support it."
Li Xinwen nodded with satisfaction and answered, "Very well … As far as I know, Wangfu is now preparing to reform the whole land in North Zhili. Although Li Fu is a businessman, there are almost fifteen thousand mu of fertile land outside the city to support Wangfu’s land reform. Father decided to pay the fifteen thousand mu of fertile land to Wangfu …"
More than 10,000 mu of fertile land, according to the reclamation price of fertile land set by Wangfu, is exactly 152,000 silver.
Although Li Fu’s family has a large number of shops in Dabei Zhili, the total annual income is only 202,000, which means that Li Xinwen gave Li Fu almost a year’s income as soon as he delivered it.
Even though the two sons had already prepared for it, they were shocked by their father Li Xinwen’s generosity.
Is the boss ready to ask the specific reasons when a face of calm Li Xinwen directly stepped forward to say
"You must recognize that your father’s handwriting is too big, but my father wants to tell you that these fertile fields are definitely a one-way ticket for my Li Fu …"
Li Xinwen went on to explain, "On the surface, Li Fu earns 202,000 yuan from various shops every year, but do you know how much money it costs for Li Jiaguang to manage those officials and chief executives in these shops every year? One hundred and two hundred and two thousand and a lot more … "
"But when you become an official, do you think someone will come to our Li Fu shops to blackmail? In this case, our Li Fu’s annual income will be less than 100,000 silver … "
"So for my father, more than 10,000 mu of fertile land is nothing compared with your future and status?"
"In addition, my father will wake you up. When you become an official, you should be a good official. Don’t violate the law and discipline, especially corruption … Let’s have silver. We don’t need you to corrupt the silver. You know, the bigger your official is, the better your business will become and the more your income will become …"
"So let’s Li Guren officer is not the silver, but the identity and status … If it is the money, then the officer should not go home to help his father do business before it is too late … Is that clear?"
After Li Xinwen’s words, the two sons directly fell into deep thought.
In the end, to their surprise, the two sons not only agreed that Li Xinwen should give fifteen thousand mu of fertile land to the Wangfu, but also decided to add the family precept that officials should not violate the law and discipline and corruption …
Just do it. Early the next morning, they came to Wangfu with fifteen thousand mu of land title deed …
If 15,000 mu of fertile land is converted into silver, it will be 150,000, which is nothing to the wealthy Wangfu nowadays, but for an ordinary businessman, 152,000 silver is definitely a very large sum of silver.
All this was disturbed as soon as Wangfu Weizheng was arrested.
Especially when he learned that Li Xinwen’s two children had passed the examination, they were going to ask the official news that the defender was looking for a face and showed a look of interest directly. Without thinking, he called the two men into the palace and planned to ask them why they had made so many fertile fields at one time.
Weizheng a pair of clever eyes staring at two people dare not have the slightest hide directly to Li Xinwen reason to say out the night before last.
Then quietly in the lobby of Wangfu with anxiety and full head sweat.
Through their expressions, Wei Zheng affirmed that they were telling the truth. It wasn’t long before a carefree smile came out of Wei Zheng’s mouth and said to the two men, "Very good, very high. You Li family are indeed businessmen from generation to generation who will do business. After listening to your answer, Wang had a little idea of meeting your father …"
In the face of Wei Zheng’s praise, the two men were uneasy and finally calmed down
Calm down first, big boy! Directly a face of gratitude said "report if my father can see report your father will be very happy …"
"Wang Yiding will get a chance to meet your father, because your father is not only a qualified businessman, but also helped Wang Peiyang with two talents …" Two pairs of eyes full of excitement looked at Wei Zhengyi and pointed something. After that, they seemed to think of something and continued.
"As far as the king knows, both of you got good grades in this examination, a comprehensive second place and an arithmetic second place. Since you are here today, the king will tell you your official position and make your father happy when you get back …"
Speaking of which, Wei Zheng’s face was directly covered with seriousness and a face of majesty announced
"The second king in the comprehensive ranking of Li Xin’s Chinese Education Examination decided that you should guarantee that the magistrate is five days … the king will give you five days to prepare, and then the horse will rush to Baoding …"
"Li Xinguang won the second place in arithmetic in the examination, and the king decided to give you six official titles in the North King’s Palace. The specific position was decided by the Prime Minister Zhou Daren and the Deputy Prime Minister Zhou Lao, and they also reported to the Palace five days later …"
Everyone, including Li Xinwen, didn’t expect that the North King’s Palace was really eclectic. Two descendants who had never worked as officials and businessmen became officials with the results of the HKCEE. Not only that, but there was also a magistrate with a heavy hand.
The news of the two positions has just become a sensation in the whole northern zhili province.
At the same time, a news also quickly spread to the northern Zhili territory.
There is a very important reason why the Li family’s two CCBA meetings are so well received by Wangfu in North Wang xin besides their good results in the examination. The Li family gave more than 10,000 mu of fertile land in their hands to Wangfu to support the land reform in Wangfu North Zhili.
It is because of these lands that Wangfu made an exception to the Li family.
In the face of these messages, some people believe and some people don’t believe.
But whether they believe it or not, their minds are moved.
In particular, those businessmen whose families passed the examination directly followed suit and gave Juan the fertile land at home.
They are not afraid of 10,000 in their eyes, but they are afraid of 11,000. These rumors are true, but they didn’t go out with their fertile Tian Juan. Didn’t they lose out by passing the examination …
This led to the North Wangfu getting a full 3.95 million mu of fertile land in just five days without spending a silver or two.
In the face of this result, Kelly Y Zhou didn’t know why Weizheng would suddenly give the Li family two sons an office on a whim.
So a trace of emotion directly from Kelly Y Zhou’s mouth …
