No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

At dawn, many people had gathered outside Gongyuan, including students who came to take exams, family and friends who came to send exams off, and passers-by who came to watch the excitement and sell things.

At this time, there was still more than an hour before the exam started. The officers were maintaining order in front of the Gongyuan. Magistrate Zhou and the officials who were invigilating the exams arrived one after another, waiting for the gate of the Gongyuan. When the time came, they entered the Gongyuan first with the test questions, and then the officers Start checking the candidates' belongings.

Li Yu followed closely behind Li Sanlang all the way to the gate of Gongyuan. He observed the surroundings with vigilance and curiosity, fearing that Li Sanlang would make a mistake during the time before entering Gongyuan.

The classmates who participated in the county examination with Li Sanlang had already gathered together. Seeing Li Sanlang who was a step late, they waved repeatedly: "Shize! Here!"

Du Yuan was among them. Several students, each holding a basket or wooden box in their hands, gathered together to look after each other.

Li Sanlang passed through the bustling crowd and came to his classmates. Li Yu followed closely and did not leave. As long as he did not see Brother Li San going to the tribute courtyard with his own eyes, he could not relax his vigilance. After all, he promised Ji Qingyue before going out that he would Brother Li was sent safely to the examination room.

Most of the people who took part in the county examination were young students, mostly in their teens or 20s, and there were almost no people in their thirties or forties.

However, if you have not passed the county examination in your thirties or forties, it can only mean that this person is really not good at studying. Not only will he feel embarrassed, but he will also be despised by young students. The master and the people around him will advise him to give up the imperial examination as soon as possible. It is better to find other ways out.

Compared with the county examination where young people gather, almost all the people who take the state examination are in their twenties or thirties or above. It is not unusual to see a few gray-haired students in the examination room. That is the longest age group of the candidates. examination room.

After a while, the sound of a gong brought everyone's thoughts back to reality.

All the invigilators have arrived and stood in front of the Gongyuan to read out the exam rules. Once found, anyone who cheats will not be allowed to take any exams again!

Then, under the witness of everyone, the examiner took out the key to the gate of Gongyuan and unlocked the door with a click. The officer on the side pushed open the gate of Gongyuan and stood guard by the door with his knife in hand.

Several examiners entered Gongyuan with examination questions, and two deputy examiners were left in front of the door to supervise and direct the officers to conduct body searches of the candidates before entering.

When the gong sounded again, the guards shouted for people to come forward and line up for a body search.

Under the watchful eyes of all the students, they held the household registration paper and the guarantee letter. These two pieces of paper are the most important entrance documents. They will be handed over to the examiner for registration and identification later. They took off their clothes, hats, shoes and socks on the side. The guards checked and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal inside before they could put their clothes back on, received their test badges and carried a basket and entered the room.

At a moment before Chen time, all the students who were candidates for examination had been searched and inspected, and the deputy examiner also quickly entered the Gongyuan.

Then, with everyone watching, the gate of the Gongyuan was locked from the outside. The county captain led a group of officers to wait in front of the courtyard, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

The oral test on the first day consisted of memorizing the contents of any textbook without explaining the meaning, in order to test the memory and reaction ability of the seniors.

This exam is the simplest, but also the most time-consuming.

There were more than a thousand candidates and only a dozen or twenty examiners. They were drawn and queued up for the oral exam one by one. The queuing time was much longer than the exam time.

Some people with numbers at the back of the queue have to wait from morning to afternoon. You must have a good attitude at this time. Don't wait and collapse. When it's time to endorse, you won't be able to remember a word.

Fortunately, the number Li Sanlang drew was not at the bottom of the queue. He only had to wait until noon to hear the guard singing his number. "Li Shize."

"exist!"

It's his turn.

He stepped forward and handed the number plate to the examiner. After the examiner registered his name and number plate, he randomly selected a book from the four books and five classics that must be read, and clicked on a random paragraph, asking him to recite it immediately until the examiner called to stop.

After Li Shize heard the test questions, he breathed a sigh of relief and silently encouraged himself.

I'm the best.

The moment he heard the title, the entire content of the book immediately appeared in his mind. After memorizing it for so many years, the words in the book were already familiar to him.

The examiner saw that Li Shize spoke well, his voice was mellow and fluent, and his expression was very relaxed and confident. At first glance, he was a capable person.

This kind of exam tests your mentality. As long as you are stable, the examiner will call you stop early.

Li Shize passed the oral exam successfully and breathed a sigh of relief when he walked out of the examination hall. Then he followed the steward's guidance to where the candidates who had finished the oral exam gathered and waited.

In order not to affect the candidates who had not yet taken the exam, they were ordered to stay in another remote courtyard to wait for the exam to end.

When a certain number of people are waiting, the guards will take them to another gate and let them out of the tribute courtyard.

Only the oral examination is so special. The following chapters on scriptures, ink meanings, strategies and poems are all actual written examinations. The candidates must go in and out together. No matter what accident happens, no one will be allowed to leave the Gongyuan in the middle.

After Li Shize waited for a while, he heard the sound of the gong signaling the end of the first half of the exam. The guards led them to a side door of the Gongyuan, unlocked them and let them out.

Li Yu didn't go back at all, and waited outside the side door with other people waiting. He only found out from others that a group of people would be released midway through the first exam.

I don’t know if Brother Li San will come out early.

So Li Yu waited until noon with the pancakes he had brought out in the morning, squatting on the roadside, eating pancakes and staring at the side door of Gongyuan.

Shortly after noon, a gong sound was heard in the Gongyuan, and the side door finally opened from the inside.

As the first batch of candidates who had finished the oral exam came out, Li Yu kept looking around, and finally saw Brother Li San at the end of the crowd.

There were guards waiting, so he did not dare to shout loudly. Instead, he slipped up to Brother Li like a fish and observed his expression happily.

Judging from Brother Li's expression, his performance on the first day seemed to be good and there were no mistakes.

Ji Qingyue had warned that the basket could only be carried by Li Sanlang himself and could not be given to anyone else. Li Yu did not take the basket from Li Sanlang, but asked: "Brother Li, do you still need to wait for other classmates?"

Li Sanlang shook his head. Today's exam took a long time. Unfortunately, the number cards drawn by his classmates were not the same as his. I'm afraid they would have to wait until the evening to come out. Naturally, he didn't have to wait.

So the two of them no longer stayed outside, but went home together.

Ji Qingyue cooked soft and glutinous rice porridge in the painting. On the way back, Li Yu bought a piece of pork when passing by the market according to Ji Qingyue's instructions before going out. They wanted to stew the meat in the evening.

When the examinee came back, Ji Qingyue did not interfere with today's exam at all, but asked him to forget about today's exam. No matter whether it went well or not, the past is the past. The most important thing is to concentrate on preparing for the next exam.

Ji Qingyue has become an image of a veteran in their hearts, and both Li Yu and Li Sanlang believe what he says.

Although Ji Qingyue is still in the exploratory stage of farming, and sometimes people feel unreliable, that's just because they are not familiar with him. After getting along for such a long time, Li Sanlang could feel the "contrast and contradiction" in Ji Qingyue mentioned by his second brother: naive but not stupid, sympathetic but not pity, persistent but always ready to give up...

I really want to know what kind of place Brother Ji lived before.

Ji Qingyue has gone through hundreds of exams, not to mention thousands, since he was a child. The experience he has summarized is also very comprehensive. The advice he gave to Li Sanlang is certainly useful.

Tomorrow I will take the "Tie Jing" test, which will be filled in the blanks using modern question types.

Ji Qingyue cooked a pot of porridge, and after serving a bowl for himself, he carried the rest of the porridge to Li Yu, and the two of them had a lunch together with Li Aniang's pickles.

On the day when the county examination began, in the largest inn in Shandan, surrounded by guards, two young girls got into a small carriage and drove out of Shandan, led by Manager Zhang himself.

Xu Dan sat in the carriage and stared at his cousin for a while.

She saw her cousin holding a piece of paper in her hand, her eyes never leaving since she got in the car. She couldn't help but feel curious. Usually her cousin was either picking beans or flax. Why was it different today?

Xu Dan leaned over: "Yesterday you said you found something interesting. When asked what it was, you didn't say anything. You just said that I checked the daily accounts and didn't want to give me another headache. Now we both have nothing to do. What can we say to you? Did you listen?"

The skirt Lu Lu wore today was much plainer and lighter in color. She still wore the same gold hairpin on her head as before, and the pearl earrings on her earlobes swayed as the carriage moved. She handed the piece of paper to her cousin and explained: "Yesterday, a child sold home-grown vegetables to inns and restaurants. He gave the shopkeeper this question and said that if he could answer it, he would supply the vegetables to the shopkeeper."

When Xu Dan heard this, he thought it was indeed interesting. After reading the questions on the paper, he would understand what his cousin meant.

The question may seem simple, but there are actually many tricks hidden in it. It can be said that there are traps everywhere.

According to her opinion as a cashier, this person earned two cents. The input is two times: nine and eleven coins sold, a total of twenty coins, and the output is eight and ten coins bought twice for chickens, a total of eighteen coins. This addition and subtraction results in a surplus of two coins.

But this calculation is a big mistake.

As the person in charge of the grain store, she calculated that this transaction seemed to make a penny profit, but this person ended up losing money.

"Fool."

Lu Lu took back the paper handed over by his cousin and said with a smile: "You fool, just do unnecessary business."

The carriage drove slowly on the dirt road, and it was not until noon that they arrived at their destination - Li Erlang's courtyard gate.

Manager Zhang was riding a horse, and the villagers heard the noise from a distance and kept watching the movement of the carriage.

The waiter who stayed at home heard the noise and hurriedly went out to check. When he saw the steward, he immediately ran to the fields to look for Li Erlang. After a while, Li Erlang came back from the fields covered in sweat.

The autumn harvest has begun.

The first person on horseback was Guanshi Zhang, followed by an exquisite and compact carriage.

It was a deal decided by a few people, but a large group of people came.

Behind the carriage followed dozens of people, all riding horses. At first glance, they were guarding the small carriage.

It seems that the situation of the hostess in the carriage is a bit precarious, and so many guards are needed, which is inconsistent with her status as a grain store lady...

Li Erlang was suspicious and waited in front of the courtyard gate without saying a word until the carriage door opened from the inside.

A young woman came out of the carriage. She was beautiful. Her hair was in a simple bun. She only wore two plain silver hairpins and an improved skirt with narrow sleeves. She walked out of the carriage easily without the help of a servant. .

Li Erlang knew at a glance that this woman was not the real owner of these guards. The young lady did not even make a move to help her. The female guard who was personally guarding continued to stare at the car. This meant that the woman who got off the car was the boss's lady. Not the person the guards want to protect.

Manager Zhang introduced: "Miss, this is Li Changxiang. Xianglang, this is the lady from our Feng Suo Liang store. Others can just call her Miss Dan."

Li Erlang saluted respectfully and went straight to the point: "If Miss Dan is ready, please come with me to the field to pull garlic."

When two people who don't procrastinate in doing things meet, they act extremely simply and quickly.

Xu Dan brought two men with him, and arranged with Manager Zhang the man who stayed at Li Erlang's house. There were three men in total, and they went to the fields to pull garlic with Li Erlang.

Before leaving, Xu Dan whispered to the carriage: "I'm leaving, do you really not want to go with me?"

The people in the carriage refused softly and asked Xu Dan to leave quickly.

Xu Dan followed Manager Zhang away, and the guards were still sitting around the carriage. As expected, the person they were waiting for was not the girl Dan, but another girl in the carriage.

Li Erlang didn't care after confirming it. The first thing now was to pull the garlic. With so many people, half an acre of garlic sprouts could be sorted in less than half an hour.

He led the way and led several people to the garlic field.

After several months of growth, during which time the garlic moss was pulled once, the garlic leaves were already withered and yellow, indicating that the "fruit" underground was mature and ready for harvest.

After pulling out the garlic, cut off some dead leaves and roots, and peel off a little of the garlic coat to remove the soil stuck to the surface.

Li Aniang and the others were busy harvesting corn in the fields, leaving only Li Erlang to greet the hostess.

With the help of the guys and the division of labor with Li Erlang, the two of them pulled the garlic and the other handled it, and soon all the garlic in the field was sorted.

Xu Dan went over to check the fruits, and it turned out that what Manager Zhang said was true. The garlic grown by Li Changxiang was of excellent quality. The garlic she saw in Chang'an was not that good. Even Hu Shang might not be able to grow such good garlic. Good garlic.

She calculated in her mind that after the skin of the garlic dries a little, she can harvest 1,800 kilograms. They will take away one thousand kilograms of it, leave three hundred kilograms for Li Changxiang to continue planting, and sell the remaining five hundred kilograms to nearby farmers who also want to grow garlic. They will give them a preferential price at the cost of the fruits they grow. We can only sell them enough food.

A good harvest can indeed make people feel happy. Xu Dan felt quite pleased with Li Changxiang's busy figure, and sighed in his heart that he is still a capable person.
