Why marry someone when you are reborn?

When they arrived at the palace gate and were finally able to dismount, Xu Yun almost felt that he could not stand straight.

After secretly taking a look at Gao Xu and Wang Cong, she silently gritted her teeth and stood up straight—

Wang Cong reminded Gao Xu: "The hat is a little crooked."

Gao Xu thanked him and then straightened his hat.

Xu Yun and Wang Cong also quietly straightened their clothes.

After a short rest, the three of them waited with other Jinshi to attend the Burning Tail Banquet.

As soon as Xu Yun walked over, Zeng Wuji and Zhao Mu quickly surrounded him.

Zeng Wuji asked excitedly, "How is it? How is it? What does it feel like to ride a horse and parade through the streets?"

He will never be able to enjoy such scenery in his lifetime, but his friends have enjoyed it!

He wanted to ask carefully and then brag to his family when he got home! When he had sons and grandsons, he would brag to them!

In response to Zeng Wuji and Zhao Mu's concern, Xu Yun only responded with three words: "Extremely tired."

I almost couldn't come back.

They just thought that things like throwing fruits to fill the car were exaggerated.

Today she discovered that it was probably true.

Not to mention the fruits, sachets and flowers, it would be very painful if they hit people!

If it was a peach or something...

Xu Yun felt pain just thinking about it.

Zeng Wuji and Zhao Mu were left speechless by Xu Yun's answer.

But in the end, before they could ask any more questions, they were pushed away by other people who came over.

The scene was even more exaggerated than the last palace examination.

After all, there is only a last-minute banquet later today, and no exams.

Without other pressure, almost everyone is busy socializing with others.

You know, from now on, this might become your own network!

Nowadays, not so many people dislike Xu Yun for being a woman.

In particular, Lu An, who was also a representative of the children from poor families, was very kind to Xu Yun and even wanted to make friends with him.

Under such circumstances, the children from poor families naturally became friendly and accepting of Xu Yun.

The only ones that are truly clearly distinguished are those between the aristocratic families and the poor families.

Most of the wealthy families also tend to prefer aristocratic families.

So, after looking at it this way, I feel that children from poor families are actually quite weak - they only account for less than 20%.

Looking at Gao Xu, Wang Cong, and even people like Cai Ji who were surrounded by so many people, Xu Yun couldn't help but sigh that aristocratic families are just aristocratic families.

However, I'm here to socialize today.

Xu Yun also suppressed his fluctuating emotions and just chatted and laughed with everyone.

No one mentioned that Xu Yun almost failed to take the imperial examination because he had no one to guarantee him.

Anyway, now everyone looks as friendly and amiable as brothers.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long.

The tail-burning banquet is about to begin.

The eunuchs came over and guided these scholars to their seats.

Not surprisingly, seats are still arranged according to ranking.

In this way, Xu Yun was next to Gao Xu and Wang Cong, very close to their majesties.

Today, their majesties also brought the princes and princesses to the banquet.

The prince and princess are now thirteen and eight years old respectively.

He followed his parents closely, paying attention to etiquette and not making any mistakes while secretly observing the other Jinshi candidates.

Xu Yun received the most stares.

Especially the little princess.

Xu Yun returned a polite smile.

The two of them quickly looked away.

When His Majesty Jiang Miao saw this scene, the corners of his lips curled up.

Then, His Majesty Zhou Ding took the lead in raising his glass and congratulated: "All of you have worked hard to overcome all the difficulties along the way. Today is the celebration banquet! I wish that you can all contribute to our country in the future and make our country the most powerful country in the world!"

Zhou Ding's words were full of lofty ambitions.

It also successfully ignited the fighting spirit of these newly-minted scholars who were about to realize their ambitions.

Everyone raised their glasses and said with great enthusiasm: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I hope we will not let you down!"

Jiang Miao then said a few words, but it was obvious that the effect was not as good as that of His Majesty Zhou Ding.

Xu Yun looked at him and realized that His Majesty Jiang Miao’s situation was not that good.

Just like she was among this group of Jinshi.

Even though they have received such an honor, there are still not many people who truly believe it.

It so happened that His Majesty Jiang Miao also looked over here, and their eyes met briefly, and Xu Yun quickly lowered his head respectfully.

After three rounds of drinking, His Majesty Jiang Miao suddenly spoke: "Xu Yun, I have read your essay. During the imperial examination, your essay was not finished. What is the follow-up?"

This question was asked suddenly, as if it was just out of His Majesty Jiang Miao's curiosity.

But it successfully drew everyone's attention to Xu Yun.

Of course Xu Yun remembered what he had not finished answering.

In fact, she completed it after she got home.

And I also read the 38 books in the library.

Watched them all in full.

The insights I gained are much deeper than before.

Xu Yun did not hesitate, and stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, the unfinished part is about how to use the collected taxes to improve the lives of the people and make more people wealthy before collecting more taxes."

His Majesty Jiang Miao smiled and said, "Why don't we talk about it today?"

Not only was His Majesty Jiang Miao asking, His Majesty Zhou Ding also looked over with great interest.

Obviously, he had also seen Xu Yun's paper.

Xu Yun was a little embarrassed, but he still spoke out his idea loudly: "After collecting taxes from wealthy merchants, gentry, and landlords, we can have people develop agricultural tools, improve grain varieties, build bridges and roads, so that grain production increases. A large amount of agricultural products can be circulated everywhere, and farmers can have extra money to buy other things. In this way, the profits of merchants are stimulated and the taxes they should pay are increased."

To put it bluntly, we still cannot rely on farmers for tax collection.

Depend on wealthy businessmen.

As soon as Xu Yun finished speaking, Cai Ji stood up and said loudly: "I have doubts!"

His Majesty Zhou Ding glanced at Cai Ji and said with a smile, "Speak."

Cai Ji looked at Xu Yun and said sternly, "Does Xu Tanhua mean to emphasize business? Do you know how cunning those businessmen are? And how many of them are untrustworthy?"

He sneered: "If we don't restrict their development, won't that encourage them even more? By then, everything will be in chaos!"

Cai Ji spoke passionately.

Xu Yun was almost certain that Cai Ji just wanted to use him as a springboard to attract attention.

How should I put it? It was expected.

But it's a bit unpleasant.

Xu Yun smiled and asked Cai Ji: "Mr. Cai is a man of foresight and thoughtful. My thoughts are indeed immature. Why don't you think about how to complete this method?"

There was a strong desire to fight in Xu Yun's eyes.

come.

It is still uncertain who will be the stepping stone for whom.

The scene was silent for a while.

Everyone was a little confused: Shouldn't the two of them start a debate? Why did Xu Tanhua admit that his method was inappropriate?

Gao Xu glanced at Cai Ji, then coldly withdrew his gaze, obviously not wanting to look at him any longer.

Wang Cong smiled slightly, as if he was listening attentively.

Lu An lowered his head and hid his smile with his fist: Ah Yun is really...
