Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Tuesday Lang and Wednesday Lang were very moved when they heard the words, but they did not dare to accept it easily, and said, "How is this good?"

Guan Lizheng laughed and said: "What's wrong, what is the relationship between our two families? Yong'er wrote back and said that he was able to pass the exam, thanks to your family's help, now their husband and wife also need you in the capital. Take care of each other more, in-laws, in-laws, this is to love each other and help each other.”

Tuesday Lang and Wednesday Lang looked at each other and didn't refuse, but they didn't respond immediately, but said, "I have to ask Big Brother and Lixin about this."

However, he relaxed a lot, and said to Zhou Li again: "Although there is a way back, you have to study hard. It is always better to pass the test yourself."

Zhou Li responded heavily. He had read the exam questions of the county government office in the past two years. The exam questions for the junior officials were not difficult, but there were only a few people who read and read, so it seemed that the exam was not easy.

He is still very confident.

Seeing his confidence, Guan Li couldn't help but squinted his eyes. The more powerful his grandson's family is, the more help his grandson will get in the future. Fortunately, this marriage was decided early, otherwise they would definitely not be able to marry a grandson-in-law from such a family by now. .

After the new year, and after February, the county government began to publish lists to recruit officials and convened students to take exams.

Zhou Lizhong excitedly went to sign up.

There were quite a lot of people who signed up, but there were only three students in the county school who signed up, and Zhou Lizhong, who was an observer, had a total of four students.

None of the other students took the exams as officials. They would take exams in June and try to get places to go to Beijing to take the jinshi exam or the next year's Mingjing exam.

This year, six students have gone to Beijing, and I don't know if they will be admitted.

Most of the people who will go to the county government exam with Zhou Lizhong are from poor grades or from poor families.

Two of them were from poor families. They were two or three years younger than Zhou Lizhong. After signing up, they took Zhou Lizhong to eat at the restaurant and sighed: "I'm going to get married, my parents said, I went to the restaurant. I don’t even have the qualifications for the government exam, let alone go to Beijing to go to the county school, and if I study for two more years, even if I can go to the capital exam, I’m afraid I won’t pass the exam, and it will be a waste of time.”

"Why don't you go to the county clerk exam now, and take advantage of your youth for a few more years, maybe you can become a chief clerk, a county magistrate, or a county magistrate in the future?"

Generally, the chief registrar, county lieutenant, and county magistrate were all promoted from the officials of the county, and only some Shang and Zhong counties would occasionally have deputy appointed by the above.

The speaker couldn't help looking at Zhou Lizhong, lowered his voice and asked, "How did Brother Zhou plan to go the way of the county magistrate?"

Now the Zhou family is very famous in Luojiang County, because the largest officials in Luojiang County are from his family, and the most officials are still in his family. The family and the Shi family are now taking a step back towards the Zhou family.

It's just that the Zhou family is very low-key. They rarely participate in any activities in the county. Occasionally, when they need to donate money, the second master of the Zhou family will come out to donate a little something. The rest of the time they farm in Qili Village.

The family style is very simple.

But the Zhou family is low-key, but they can't underestimate the Zhou family, thinking that the county magistrate can't, so did Zhou Lizhong say hello to the county magistrate?

Zhou Lizhong blushed slightly and said, "The county magistrate has already recommended me to attend the county school."

He said: "As for the exam, with the justice of the magistrate, it is natural for us to fight fairly."

One person's eyes flashed and he asked with a smile, "Brother Zhou, have you thought about what to do after failing the exam?"

Zhou Lizhong thought about it seriously and then said honestly: "Probably Enyin will go to serve as a yamen."

The other three: ...

"...You have a place for Enyin, why do you still have to take the exam?"

Zhou Lizhong said embarrassedly, "That's not my family's, it's my eldest brother-in-law's place. I can't take it for free, so I still want to take the test based on my own ability.

"Your brother-in-law's house..."

"It's our Lizheng, the Guan family has managed the place for many years, and has a lot of credit, so three years ago, I won an award for grace."

This is not uncommon. The county government pays Lizheng's wages to be negligible, and Lizheng will work so diligently, firstly, for the sake of fame, and secondly, for profit.

Well, needless to say, who can be upright and not a person with high morals and prestige?

In addition to being one step closer to the officials of the county government, it is this kind of graceful quota.

Those who are virtuous and wealthy under the rule of law can be counted as meritorious deeds, and if they accumulate to a certain extent, they can receive such rewards.

Not everyone can get such a reward, it is not bad to have one in the right.

The reason why it is Guan Lizheng is that it has a lot to do with the Zhou family.

One is that Zhou Man came back from the Western Regions three years ago and brought back the vaccination method; the other is that the Zhou family has developed well, and the Qili Village has become much richer; He has a spot.

The Zhou family didn't know much about it, but Guan Lizheng knew it, so he kept suppressing that he didn't use this quota.

He just thought that if Guan Yong could not pass the examination, he would come back and use this quota; if he passed the examination, he would definitely need the help of the Zhou family in his career in the future, so this quota could be given to the Zhou family...

Zhou Li was willing to speak out about the Enyin quota, and the three of them consciously took a step closer to him, so they spoke more relaxedly, one said: "Now Lord Zhou is also a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, so there should be an Enyin quota, you Why not?"

Zhou Lizhong said: "I haven't tried it, so how can I know that I can't pass the test by my own ability? And my sister-in-law will also have children of her own in the future. Enyin's quota is limited. We are old enough, how can we take their place? What about the quota?"

The three of them were speechless for a long time, and one of them sighed: "It's because we are short-sighted, yes, if we can test it out on our own, why should we ask for grace?"

It's just that they ask themselves that they can't do it. If they can have a place for grace, why should they study so hard?

Is it bad to just lie down and win?

The three of them didn't even notice that they were looking at Zhou Lizhong with admiration.

Luojiang County is preparing for the county examination for officials, and Beihai County is also preparing for the county examination for officials.

Bai Shan's movement in Beihai County is too great. From the salt field to the official fields, to the wharf, and to the medical department, the number of talents needed is particularly large.

It is not necessary for them to read poetry books too much, but the most basic poetry books, as well as arithmetic accounting, are bound to be known.

There were also many people who signed up for the exam, and many came from other counties.

Bai Shan asked people to post vacant positions to attract more talents.

In fact, if it wasn't for the high aspirations of the students in the county school, he would have liked to encourage them to take the exam.

However, although he could not agitate openly, he could instigate secretly.
