The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

"Lord Jia, to be honest, I came to the Ministry of Industry today because I want to trouble you with something, sir, please help me.

"Li Wen sat down on a chair below, and he said directly without beating around the bush.

"Oh, Mr. Li, tell me, what's the matter." Mr. Jia didn't say to help, nor did he say not to help.

Li Wen couldn't believe that this minister of the Ministry of Industry didn't know what was going on, and he might have been waiting for him here long ago.

The six parts seem to be doing their own thing, but in fact the relationship inside is inextricably linked together.The Ministry of Commerce wanted to become a new organization independent of the Sixth Department, and the Sixth Department definitely didn't want to see this new organization established, so it was no wonder that these people wanted to trip him up.Li Wen said with a distressed expression, "Lord Jia, it's really not that the lower officials want to trouble you, it's really the emperor's place..."

You understand, I understand, and everyone understands the unfinished words.

Li Wen had a face of "I don't want to bother you, old man. Isn't that the emperor's urging?" He had no choice but to ask you to make this special case, "So, I'm afraid I want to trouble you, sir. convenient.

"We all work for the emperor..." Mrs. Jia nodded with a look of understanding.

Li Wen thought hehe, wanted to say that you understand what a fart, but on the surface he agreed, "Isn't it, we are all the emperor's servants, eating the emperor's salary, and worrying about the emperor's worries. The emperor's sorrow is our sorrow. Relieving worries is what we courtiers should do."

"...Master Jia, I don't have high requirements here. Just replace the broken things in the yard, mend the broken things, and fix them as soon as possible." His requirements are really not high, no What kind of high-quality wood must be used? There is only one requirement: as long as it is fast and usable, there are really not many other requirements.

Jia Ru naturally knew what was going on here. Li Liuyuan was working for the emperor, and he wanted to get stuck with Li Wen. If something happened, the emperor would hold him accountable.So after thinking about it for a while, Mr. Jia knew that it would be wrong for him not to agree, "All right, the old man will ask later, arrange someone to be in charge of this matter with you..."

At this time, Li Wen was in the limelight, there was no benefit for him to offend Li Wen, he might as well sell Li Wen as a favor, Jia Ru felt that he would not lose money from this deal.

This is promised.

"So, thank you, Mrs. Jia." Li Wen thought that he would have to spend a lot of talking before the other party agreed, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so simply. Of course, it didn't count if he had to wait for half an hour.With a smile on his face, Li Wen knew that Jia Shangshu was a sensible person, so he thanked Jia Shangshu with a smile.

After getting the answer, Li Wen left the Ministry of Industry.

When the people left, Jia Ru picked up the tea in hand and took a sip slowly. An official standing next to him said, "My lord, why did you..."

Before anyone could finish speaking, Jia Ru knew what the person next to him wanted to ask. He raised his hand, and the person silenced his voice.Jia Ru put the teacup back on the table, glanced at the direction Li Wen was leaving, stood up, and said, "It's cheap to sell Li Wen for six yuan, and there's no harm in it."

Among the six ministries, each ministries performed their duties, the Ministry of Households was in charge of taxation and money, the Ministry of Officials was in charge of the appointment, removal and transfer of court officials, and the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War all had their own responsibilities.The Ministry of Industry is in charge of construction projects. To put it bluntly, it is craftsmen. It has always been the last department among the six departments.Their Ministry of Industry does not have much conflict of interest with Li Liuyuan, so it is better to sell Li Liuyuan to save face, which will not do any harm to their Ministry of Industry.

As for those who deliberately wanted to embarrass Li Wen, it was beyond their control.

"Come on, let's find a place to have a meal, and talk about some things later."

After leaving the Ministry of Industry, the three of them got into the carriage, and Li Wen brought Shen Zijing and Su Yuan to the restaurant, where the environment was more convenient for them to talk.The yard hasn't been tidied up yet, and they don't even have a place to work for the time being. This is a problem they need to solve urgently.

After he went to the Ministry of Industry just now, the Ministry of Industry must arrange for him to come soon.

Li Wen shared some of his plans and ideas with Shen Zijing and Su Yuan, and listened to their opinions and ideas by the way, and the three of them exchanged views on this aspect.

Their ideas may not be the same, but if the other party has different ideas, they can also raise them, listen to each other's different opinions, and exchange and communicate with each other.

The few of them studied together and grew up together since they were young, and they are familiar with each other, and it is easier to communicate on some issues. Basically, what they say is a little bit, and the other party can understand it, and they can draw inferences quickly. It made the communication between them much more enjoyable.

Most of the day passed without knowing it, and it was getting dark outside.

"Let's stop here today, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow." I can't finish talking so much in one day

As for the matter, Li Wen saw that it was getting late, so he proposed that they go back first.

"That's good." Shen Zijing himself had some thoughts that needed to be sorted out.

Su Yuan stood beside Shen Zijing, Li Wen looked at Su Yuan, the two people's eyes met, Su Yuan smiled at Li Wen.Li Wen thought of Lu Zhishu who was not in the capital, "The three of us are all here, only Zhishu is missing."

"It's not."

Li Wen mentioned Lu Zhishu, and Shen Zijing also remembered that the four of them were almost equal, "When was the last time the four of us were together...? I have forgotten." Thinking of the four of them studying together in the past, So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, time flies so fast, when the last time they met, Shen Zijing almost forgot.

"Haha, it's been a while, it's normal if you don't remember, I don't even remember."

Li Wen said, "But we are all here in the capital, and when Zhishu comes back to the capital, we can have a good reunion." He and Shen Zijing have always been in correspondence with each other in letters, and Shen Zijing will also ask questions in the letters when he encounters any problems. He, but because the distance was too far away, it was already a month or two before the letter written by Shen Zijing was delivered to him.

After he wrote the letter, he sent someone to send it over. Three to five months passed in this way.

At this point, he misses the convenience of mobile phones, airplanes and trains, and express delivery very much.

"That's true." Shen Zijing nodded, "When Zhishu comes back, the four of us must have a good drink to celebrate."

"Haha, yes." Li Wen said, "At that time, we must not return home drunk."

They came out of the restaurant and made an appointment to meet tomorrow.

"Go first, I'll wait for someone here."

Shen Zijing and Su Yuan got into a carriage, Li Wen asked them to go back first, he waited here for a while, Bai Yu hurried over, and the two got into the carriage together.

On the way back, the two of them talked about some business affairs, Li Wen turned to personal matters, and asked Bai Yu what he thought, "I've been waiting for you to tell me about this matter, but... who will speak up?" It doesn't matter. I just want to ask you, what do you think about Jin Wan?"

Although he didn't know much about the family, it didn't mean he didn't know about the family affairs, so Li Wen knew that Bai Yu and his sister had a little interest in each other.

The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. The two are under the same roof. They can't see each other. It's normal to have a little affection for each other. Li Wen doesn't object to free love, but thinks that free love is much better than blind marriage , at least know who you are going to marry/marry before marriage, and you can also understand each other's temperament to see if it is the right person for you.

This is also the reason why Li Wen didn't make an appointment for the girl in a hurry. He didn't want to blindly choose someone for the girl. He also said that if he chose the wrong person, it would harm the girl's life .

It's just that the girls in the family are all sixteen this year. According to Li Wen's thinking, he doesn't think 16 is too old, but here, if a 16-year-old girl hasn't made a kiss yet, she will be an old girl after she turns [-].Li Wen doesn't need to be in a hurry, but it's inevitable that he has to go to the countryside to do as the Romans do. He can make an appointment with his sister's marriage first, and it doesn't matter if the marriage can be delayed for a year or two.

"Haopeng has been in the capital for more than a year. I want someone to send him back to his hometown so that his grandmother and mother can see him." The child followed him outside, and the mother at home must be thinking about the child. Of course I will miss him as an older child.His grandma is getting old now, and he can't go back by himself, but he has to let the child go back home to meet his parents and grandma.

Last year, he was away from the capital because he had something to do, so he didn't have time to arrange for the child to go back. This year, he has to send the child back no matter what.

Li Wen sent a letter to his family, and wanted to take the child home at this moment, otherwise it might snow after October, and the way out would be difficult.If I go back there, at least I won’t be able to come to the capital until the first month of the next year. The time is a bit too long, and the children still have to study, so it’s not good to stay at home for too long.

He is going to send the child back next month, and the child and his parents will come up after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the time is just right.

Li Wen said, "Jin Wan and I have been out for a long time, so I thought, if you feel that you are suitable for each other, you can settle the marriage first. This time, you and Jin Wan will go back together to meet my second uncle. And my aunt, and my parents.

The matter of getting married can be postponed for a year or so, and it is fine to come back to the capital to hold the wedding at that time. "

Li Wen briefly mentioned the situation at home. His second uncle and second aunt originally had only four daughters, but later they took a concubine and gave birth to a son. He didn't go into too much detail about some bad things in the family. , but his girl must be a good girl, "Of course, if you don't like Jinwan, I won't force you to be together.

You must respect each other's ideas...

If you're not interested in Jinwan, I'll make other arrangements for her here. "
