After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Seeing that the time was ripe, shopkeeper Li quickly spoke out: "Gentlemen, these books are original books and cannot be sold. In half a month, the store will sell copied versions, and the copywriter has the first right to purchase."

Several tables placed in the middle of the first floor were filled with scholars in an instant, copying a medical book in one sitting while burning incense. It is a book that no one has seen before, which is fair enough.

The scholars who didn't get a seat were a little upset and asked the shopkeeper if they could get a second batch after burning an incense stick. I continued to visit the bookstore with peace of mind. Many people remembered that the shopkeeper said there was a store on the second floor. After getting permission, several scholars went to the second floor together.

"Ah!" "Oh my God!" "There are actually comments." Immediately, there were exclamations from upstairs, attracting all the scholars on the first floor. The accountant is guarding the second floor.

Accountant Li saw the scholars copying books, and most of them came to the second floor. Then he started to explain the situation on the second floor. The second floor is open to different areas.

Tongsheng corresponds to the county examination area, and the question books stored in it are the past years' question books of county examinations from all over the country.

The scholar corresponds to the college examination area, and what everyone must have guessed is the question booklet for the college examination.

So there is no need for me to introduce the third area. Scholars with meritorious status can go to the corresponding area to borrow question books based on their meritorious status.

All question books in this area are for borrowing only and can only be read in the building. Of course, if anyone is interested in question books from other areas, just go to the corresponding question box here and randomly collect a test question, and we will have professionals review the article.

After Accountant Li finished speaking, all the readers were very curious. They have seen the imperial examination question books, and some well-off families still have them in their homes. However, there are indeed no title books for other states and counties.

Moreover, I just briefly looked through a question book. There are comments at the end of each article. The words are very sharp and point out the problems of the article to the point.

Everyone is not a fool. They have all finished their work on the second floor and came to borrow the question book. What are the conditions and how to charge.

Shopkeeper Li promptly took out the prepared fee schedule and stood beside it: the entrance fee to the second floor is 20 cents per day; 500 cents for a monthly subscription; 6 taels of silver for a whole year, and four months of reading time.

However, in order to provide a better reading environment for everyone, there are only 30 study rooms on the second floor. Therefore, we only receive 30 people per day, and customers with annual subscriptions can reserve private rooms first.

When Ming Jia told Xie Boyuan and Ming Jun about this membership system, Ming Jun directly said that it was impossible for anyone to offer a year-round membership. Nowadays, not many people can take out 6 taels of silver at once.

Xie Boyuan thought he could give it a try. He knew that the poor would always be ordinary people. Rich people don't take 6 taels of silver seriously. The rich households in Qu County just spend 6 taels of silver every year so that their sons can come here to meet talented scholars with potential.

It is said that wars are painful, but at Xie Boyuan's level, few hardships can affect them. During the ten years of war, he had not seen the young masters and young ladies of several aristocratic families really suffer.

Of course, Xie Boyuan did not say anything. These aristocratic families either suffered no pain at all, or were directly exterminated.

As Xie Boyuan expected, several young men wanted to apply for borrowing cards on the spot. The interesting borrowing card was designed by Mingjia alone and was carved by a master carpenter.

Each loan card is numbered, and the annual card has a separate gold font. Every detail made the young masters feel very satisfied. After looking at the loan card with some hesitation, I followed suit and got a loan card.

There are also many young men who don't have enough money and ask shopkeeper Li to reserve a number for fear of running out of places. After all, these question books are difficult to collect, and the sharp comments in them are even rarer. They must have been reviewed by masters.

Finally, 10 scribes were appointed, and they agreed to come to work early tomorrow morning, and the pen and ink would be provided by the store. The store is responsible for a lunch at noon, and the remuneration is settled based on the number of books copied, and the price of each book is different.

After seeing off the reluctant scholars, shopkeeper Li came over with a smile from ear to ear and reported that 14 young men had directly applied for borrowing cards for the whole year today. There are eighty-four taels of silver in total.

Ming Jun is a little stupid. One book has not been sold and he has 84 taels of silver this day? Mingjia didn't expect so many people to apply for cards. Originally, she expected that only the Zhao family, the Huang family, the Li family, and at most a son from the Zhou family would be able to apply for a borrowing card.

Mingjia didn't know the real reason why everyone paid for a loan card. If he had known, he would have squeezed Uncle Yuan even more. In fact, the dynasty had just been established a few years ago, and there were too few scholars. Those who took the exams for young students and scholars really had no real talent or practical knowledge.

Every prefecture and county has its own elite. After receiving the title books sent back from Chuanzhou City and Ningzhou, Mingjia felt that they had no literary talent at all and had no reference value.

Only in the past two years have there been some articles that are barely noticeable, but there are too few. We will receive these scholars soon. Mingjia was anxious and thought of Master Dian's move.

It reminds me that many variety shows in the past life were based on the mentor's venomous tongue and sharp comments. Mingjia suggested that Xie Boyuan should try to use sharper words when writing comments.

In fact, Mingjia was overly worried. If he hadn't considered that he had shares here, he would still be making money. If Xie Boyuan were forced to comment on these articles, he would make the author cry without even using a single curse word.

A major case was revealed in the capital. The second prince's grandfather, Earl Liu, was suspected of smuggling official salt and was a drug dealer who was dismissed from his post and investigated. In the end, the evidence was conclusive, and Earl Liu was deprived of his title and half of his family property was confiscated. Yuci's big house was also taken back.

In the palace, Concubine Liu knelt in front of the Qinzheng Hall. She could not kneel down and begged the emperor for mercy. The emperor approved the memorial in the palace and never showed any mercy. Two hours passed, and the emperor suddenly asked: "Are you still kneeling?"

Eunuch Gao replied softly: "Back to the Emperor, Concubine Liu is still kneeling outside the palace."

"Hmph!" The emperor was just angry at that time, but he was still trying to make threats to him.

The emperor looked at Eunuch Gao and winked: "Go out and ask her to come back! If she doesn't want to, ask her a question for me."

Eunuch Gao hurried forward. After hearing the emperor's question, his heart trembled, but it didn't show on his face. He quickly walked out of Qinzheng Hall.

It's July now, and it's hot time. Concubine Liu was sweating profusely and exhausted after kneeling for two hours, but she couldn't get up, even for the sake of the second prince and her concubine.

Hearing someone approaching, Concubine Liu quickly looked up and saw that it was Eunuch Gao who thought the emperor was soft-hearted and was willing to see her. Suddenly, I heard Eunuch Gao's calm voice: "Concubine Liu, please come back!"

Although Concubine Liu was disappointed, she even wanted to give up. But you still have to grit your teeth and persist.

Suddenly, Eunuch Gao took two steps forward and bent down. The voice was very soft, but extremely clear: "Your Majesty, the Emperor asked this old slave to bring you a message."

Concubine Liu instantly regained her hope. Can her father be saved?

Eunuch Gao's voice sounded again: "Your Majesty asked, do you, the Liu family, only use threats?"

In an instant, Concubine Liu's whole body became cold. Seeing Concubine Liu's appearance, Eunuch Gao directed several palace servants to support Concubine Liu. Send Concubine Liu back to the palace.
