Bingbing pushed the plate in front of him, "It's all for my brother. If I want to eat, I'll ask sister Xiaoxue for it."

"This is made by Xiaoxue's brother-in-law"

"Yeah, don't you know? The cakes we ate, iced drinks, spicy duck pancakes, fried chicken legs, and so many other delicious dishes were made by Xiaoxue's brother-in-law. Xiaoxue's brother-in-law is so good, Bingbing also wants to I want such a brother-in-law." After speaking, he stared at his brother with wide eyes.

Yu Jiangming pushed her head away and remained unmoved, "I heard that Xiaoxue's two elder brothers will take the exam this time."

"That's right, that's right, I heard it's her second brother and an older brother from the same clan."

Yu Jiangming wiped his hands after eating the snacks, stood up and took two blue invitation cards from the desk and handed them to her, "The prince wants to invite some students to discuss learning in his own name, and he will pick up the star building in the day after tomorrow, but he only said to the students Discuss knowledge and learn from each other before the exam." "Prince," Bingbing said as she took the post, opened it, and it had written Chu Qing and Ji Yu on it. "Brother knows them, and they all wrote their names."

Yu Jiangming shook his head, "I don't know them, they are all people that the emperor's brother wants the prince to get acquainted with."

"It seems that Xiaoxue's second brother is also very powerful, Xiaoxue's family members are so powerful, Bingbing also wants to get to know them."

"I'll let you see them after the exam." Yu Jiangming touched her head

Bingbing took the post and sent it to Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue knew that this was a good opportunity for Xia Chenfei and Xiaoman, so she thanked them.

Xiaoman and Xia Chenfei who received the post were very pleasantly surprised, "The little prince said, don't treat them as princes and princes, just say whatever you want."

The two nodded

"Actually, even without me, this post will be sent to you sooner or later. The name has been written long ago. I heard it was recommended by Mr. Tao."

Xia Chenfei suddenly realized, "No wonder he laughed so much after listening to our words, so he knew us."

"How did Master Tao know us?"

"Second brother, you are also the number one in Zhangzhou, Chuqing brother was also the number one in Zhangzhou two years ago, how can you look down on yourself?"

"Yes, Jiyu, be more confident, let's let Jinzhou see the demeanor of our Zhangzhou students." Xia Chenfei puffed up his chest and said

Two days later, the two were carefully groomed by Luo Xiaohan and sent out the door.

Zhaixing Building is not a restaurant, but a famous library in Jinzhou Imperial City. The upper floor is full of books, and the lower floor is full of tables and chairs. You can buy some cool tea for people to read. It doesn't matter if you have money or not, as long as you don't damage the book.

Before the war, this building was very popular with students all over the world, but no one knew the owner behind this building. After the war, it reopened here, and it is still the favorite place for scholars.

The two handed in invitations at the door and went in. There were many students sitting inside. At a glance, there were about thirty of them, some were dressed in luxurious clothes, and some were in coarse clothes.

"Chuqing, Jiyu" a man saw them standing up suddenly and shouted

The two followed the voice and saw that it was Xie Xuhui, who hurried over and sat at a table. There were several plates of delicate snacks and a pot of tea on the table.

In the other corner sat a scholar, wearing coarse clothes, but the wash was clean. Seeing them smiled, a little shy, "This is a friend I just met, Sun Li, named Zhu'an, from Liuzhou."

The four greeted each other and sat down.

"Liuzhou was the most severely damaged place during the war," Xia Chenfei said.

"Yes, neither parents nor siblings were involved in that war." Sun Li couldn't hide the grief in his eyes

"My condolences to Brother Sun, I started the wrong words." Xia Chenfei hastily apologized

"Whether you want to say it or not, the fact is so, how can you blame Brother Chuqing, I only regret that at that time I had no strength to restrain the chicken, so I had nothing to use, and I watched them die tragically one by one"

Regarding that war, the states and counties that had been invaded suffered more deeply. The four of them were silent for a while, and only raised another topic after everyone's grief had passed.

"I don't know who is organizing this event. I live in that desolate place, and the post was actually delivered." Sun Li followed Xie Xuhui's topic and said that he walked all the way from Liuzhou to this Jinzhou. Yu Qian and the rest of the village pooled together a lot of broken silver. After arriving in Jinzhou, he lived under the eaves of a charity house and set up a stall every day before the charity house to help people write letters. Earning money to live, that day a servant handed him a valuable invitation card, he couldn't even believe it.

"I'm afraid the status is not low," Xie Xuhui guessed

Xia Chenfei and Xiaoman looked at each other without saying a word.

Yu Jiangming and the crown prince came in after handing in a message at the door, and randomly found an empty table and sat there. Although the two were handsome, their clothes were not very eye-catching, so they didn't attract too many people's attention.

People at every table were talking about knowledge, or talking about current affairs, or talking about what they had seen and heard indignantly.

The prince glanced at each table, and said, "There are still a few descendants from the aristocratic family"

"Well, there are a few. Those are the concubine sons of the Minister of Rites, the only son of the Marquis of Huainan who is sitting over there," Yu Jiangming introduced to him in a low voice.

"The Marquis of Huainan himself is mediocre, and his thoughts are elsewhere." The prince smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"The Marquis of Huainan is the only son, and he is very fond of him."

The prince clenched the teacup in his hand, "If it wasn't for the Marquis of Huainan holding five thousand imperial troops, it would have been long ago."

"Speak carefully." Yu Jiangming stuffed a snack into his mouth, "My father can't do anything about him. The late emperor trusted him too much. This imperial army is no more powerful than other military powers. Wait a minute, when the world is more stable, the Marquis of Huainan Must" the rest of the words were submerged in the lips and were not uttered, but both of them knew the meaning.

"If you want me to say that among scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are the most humble, it has been like this since ancient times. Even if they have money, they still have to pay taxes obediently. Why do they earn so much money? Why don't they become officials so that they have business to do? The business tax should go up.”

Yu Jiangming smiled disdainfully, "Idiot"

"The preface doesn't match the postscript, I'm afraid I want to say that the money should be given to him directly."

Sure enough, when these high-sounding words came out, the whole room fell silent.

Liu Yichen stood up, "Could it be that what I said was wrong? The merchants are rich and wealthy, what do they want to do next? Is it recruiting soldiers to rebel?"

"This tone." The prince glanced at Yu Jiangming, "It seems to be talking about your father." Everyone knows that King Yu turned to business after handing over his seal.

"How could my father have so much money, and who did he give it to, don't you know?"

The national treasury has been empty due to the wars in the past few years, and the emperor is tied up in whatever he wants to do and implement any new policies. More than half of the money Jade King earns has been filled into the national treasury or the emperor's private treasury.

"Where does this son say this? Let me take my elder brother as an example. After doing some small business, he built a factory in the village. The married sister and son in the village have jobs and income. At home, I don’t have to be as obsequious as I used to be. Because of the need for chickens and ducks, there is a breeding farm in another village. Most people in that village don’t have to go to the market every day to sell ducks in the town. All the hatchlings can be sold on the farm. These small businesses changed the two villages, earned money, and supported the family. After the elder brother opened a branch, due to transportation problems, he and his partners considered building bridges and roads. With roads, they are connected in all directions and trade flows smoothly. Although the prosperity of the Great Jin Dynasty is not entirely due to the merchants, it must also be due to the hard work of the merchants." Although Xia Chenfei had already grabbed Xiaoman's sleeve, Xie Xuhui was about to say a word of comfort, but Xiaoman had already stood up to refute the man Although my brother-in-law loves to joke with him and tease him, the saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads is still fresh in your memory.

In this life, besides Tao Mo, Xiaoman admired his elder brother-in-law the most. The word "businessman is lowly" hurt his ears, so he couldn't help but stand up.

"Prince, this is Xiaoxue's second brother," Yu Jiangming said helplessly

"The words are sharp and well-founded, and people are not divided into three or six grades, but this city is a little shallower"

Yu Jiangming nodded, "Just practice and practice. I heard that Zhangzhou is still the top case."

"From what I hear, Xiaoxue's family is all smart people."

"Hey, it turned out that they came from a merchant's family, no wonder you spoke for them." Liu Yichen sneered contemptuously.

"Ji Yu, sit down" Xia Chenfei said sternly

Xiaoman listened to him since he was a child, and he had never seen Xia Chenfei being so strict. He didn't care what to say, and sat down quickly. Xie Xuhui said in a low voice, "Are you a fool? Do you know who that person is? I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, you don't understand what?"

"How many high-ranking officials and wealthy people are in Jinzhou City? Xiaoman, you offended these people, do you still want to leave Jinzhou after high school?" Xia Chenfei frowned and said, "Your brother-in-law came out and told you not to stand out and not to cause trouble, listen more and talk less , you all forgot"

Seeing that Xiaoman didn't refute anymore, he sat down triumphantly and continued to sarcasm loudly, which made Xiaoman grit his teeth.

"You are not the only merchant present here, am I?" Xia Xuhui patted his hand, "Let him talk, you just think, how far can this kind of person go with the protection of their parents?"

As I was talking here, a young man stood upstairs at an unknown time, and he said loudly, "My master invites all students to come here today, just to ask for an article. Is this a prize? It is a hundred taels of gold. My young master wears a jade pendant with him." He lit up the jade pendant, although he couldn't touch it, but the jade pendant was shiny and moist under the sunlight, and he knew it was worth a lot.

"Today's topic is..." He looked down with a smile and opened his mouth, "Scholar, Farmer, Businessman"

The people below were surprised, and they all cast their eyes to look around, wanting to know who is the person who invited, and this topic came up after only talking about this topic.

Soon, several people dressed as servants came over to collect refreshments and distribute paper, ink, pens and inkstones.

The man upstairs said, "Everyone can discuss and communicate at will, without restraint, and there is no need to write names."

Yu Jiangming and the crown prince were also given paper and pens. They looked at each other, picked up the pens, and began to write seriously.

After about an hour, the man came over again and said it was over. The servant took their articles and went to nowhere. After a while, all the articles were posted. "The master said, nameless Taboo, everyone comment, which one is the best" author gossips:
