After everyone finished speaking, Yang Yuanzu had a chance to speak.

He had no choice but to stand in the field and explain the benefits of fertilizing to everyone from a distance, and patted his chest to ensure that the harvest would not be delayed.

Everyone did not believe what Yang Yuanzu said about increasing income. Yang Yuanzu had no credibility with them.

Aunt Chen saw her son being bullied by so many people, so she stood up and argued with everyone.

Although she is a bit domineering, she is considered a relatively reliable person in the hearts of the villagers.

With Aunt Chen's repeated assurances that the land tax would not be delayed, Li Zheng reluctantly agreed that her family would continue fertilizing.

When the villagers heard this, they objected repeatedly. Li Zhengze said, this is other people's land and they cannot be stopped from farming.

Anyway, if you can't hand over the food, the land will be confiscated, so why are you anxious?

When everyone heard this, they thought for a while, and then no longer objected.

From then on, villagers passing by Yang's house would look disgusted, cover their mouths and noses with their hands, and walk by quickly.

Some are even willing to take the long way around.

For a time, the Yang family's reputation became even worse than before.

Aunt Chen was very smart. Everyone was thinking about how many acres of land her family had. She couldn't let others destroy it, so she and Yang Huahua went to inspect the fields every day.

Yang Yuanzu was not idle either. He searched for many design drawings of bobbin carts on the browser. He chose the most economical and practical one and drew it accordingly.

He found a boss with whom he had a cooperative relationship to make a custom order. After hearing Yang Yuanzu talk about the use of this cart, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

Rather than hiding it and worrying about others stealing your technology, it is better to explain it openly to your partners.

Making a barrel cart is more time-consuming, laborious and consumable than a high-foot bed. The carpenter boss wanted to cooperate, but the capital turnover was not available for a while.

Yang Yuanzu replied that he was not in a hurry and was waiting to see the effect of his display. Everyone would definitely place orders after seeing the benefits.

When the time comes, it will still be the same as before, but we just have to ensure that the production process will not be leaked. After hearing this, the boss hastily agreed.

They relied on this craft to make a living, so it would be a big deal if it leaked out.

Yang Yuanzu spent some time and installed the finished product in his field.

The nearby villagers were afraid that something might happen to him again, so they all paid attention to the strange big wheel he installed.

Apart from some loud noises, there was no other impact, so everyone felt relieved.

Then they saw that this trolley could roll on its own to divert water for irrigation by relying on the water flow, and they all exclaimed that it was magical.

Yang Yuanzu also designed a water diversion device using bamboo tubes, so that all his fields could be watered automatically.

Seeing how convenient the watering device was, the villagers asked Yang Yuanzu where he bought it.

Yang Yuanzu told everyone the place and price, and everyone shook their heads.

Paying ten taels for a barrel cart was literally killing them, so everyone still chose to carry water.

This price was set after repeated discussions between Yang Yuanzu and the carpenter boss. After all, the cost of manufacturing, transportation and installation is not low.

The government examination was coming soon, and Yang Yuanzu didn't dare to mess around outside anymore. He returned to the Lin family honestly and started studying day and night.

The difficulty of the prefectural examination is much more difficult than that of the county examination, which focuses on enlightenment.

If you pass, you will be qualified to take the scholar examination. If you fail, you will have to continue taking the exam next year.

This exam included some simple classical Chinese writing, which was a bit difficult for a modern man like Yang Yuanzu.

Yang Yuanzu, who is accustomed to the vernacular, always habitually mixes in some vernacular when writing. This is a thinking habit formed over a long time and is difficult to change.

Therefore, Yang Yuanzu took this government examination much more seriously.

I shut myself in the study every day and learn to write ancient articles and calligraphy from my husband.

Yang Yuanzu's way of holding a pen is often talked about by teachers.

It is said that this way of holding the pen will leave a bad impression on the examiner during the imperial examination, thus affecting the judgment of the imperial examination results.

It is also emphasized that holding the pen incorrectly and handing in the paper early are absolutely not allowed, and the number of submissions should not be too frequent, otherwise there will be suspicion of cheating.

Yang Yuanzu did not expect that the ancient examinations were so strict, so he became more serious and used the energy of staying up late and working overtime to study.

Lin Ting'an has not bothered Yang Yuanzu recently. He is focused on the battle of wits and courage with his uncle.

Occasionally, he thoughtfully offered a bowl of tonic soup that he had made by himself, and watched Yang Yuanzu drink it with a smile.

The servants also walked lightly when passing by the study. In the eyes of slaves like them, reading is something only people in the cloud can do.

In the intense sprint to prepare for the exam, Yang Yuanzu ushered in his government exam.

The government examination will leave Shunxing County and go to Fucheng, where the magistrate of Fucheng will personally preside over the examination.

Lin Ting'an arranged a carriage and a servant for him.

Yang Yuanzu was repeatedly asked to take the identity document and road guide with him.

He prepared dry food for Yang Yuanzu on the road and money for accommodation.

This was his first time traveling on his own, so he was a little excited when he thought about it.

Ancient travel, here I come!

A few days later……

"God, I feel so uncomfortable!"

Yang Yuanzu said to the servant. He was so dizzy from being jolted by the carriage that his whole body fell apart.

The Servant of Heaven is the servant who accompanies him on his journey.

The names of these four servants are so easy to remember, my God! born! No! Fan!

It was Lin Ting'an who named them.

Except for Fan who followed Lin Ting'an, everyone else was arranged to serve at home.

The servant handed Yang Yuanzu a kettle: "Uncle, drink water!"

Yang Yuanzusheng drank a few sips of water helplessly: "No, let's stop and take a rest!"

The servant replied honestly: "Master, we have rested twenty-three times on the road. If we continue to rest, we will not be able to catch up with the government examination."

Yang Yuanzu beat his chest and feet in pain: "Then let's go!"

Alas, life is unpredictable, and the large intestine wraps around the small intestine.

Who could have imagined that the ancient tour he was looking forward to would be like this.

His imaginary ancient travel should be "Wandering all over the peaks to enjoy the sunset, and tired of going to wild temples to look for sencha tea."

But the gap between reality and fantasy is too big.

Yang Yuanzu arrived at Fucheng just in time. They arrived at night and the exam started the next day.

Originally, Lin Ting'an's travel plan had reserved one day for them to adjust, but Yang Yuanzu, who was not used to traveling by carriage, used it to rest halfway.

The next day, Yang Yuanzu entered the examination room with daily necessities.

It is early spring, and the weather is a bit cold at night. Yang Yuanzu brings a small stove with hot water and temperature, which makes the heating conditions much better than other candidates.

During this period, the invigilator visited his place a few more times and looked at the stove several times.

This made Yang Yuanzu feel a little nervous.

Wouldn't the invigilator suspect him of cheating?
