Seeing Jiang Ziyan stealing the limelight, Li Zhiyuan felt very uncomfortable.The doctors and several great scholars on the stage were already secretly asking where Jiang Ziyan was from.

They have a heart of love for talents, and you can see the talent of this person just by reading these few poems. Several of them have moved their minds to recruit disciples.

The theme of the fourth question is Jin Ge Iron Horse.

This is even easier for Jiang Ziyan. Before Li Zhiyuan and Zhao Qian wrote, they just watched Jiang Ziyan finish writing and handing it in.

As soon as Jiang Ziyan's poem was handed in, several doctors crowded around to watch it.

Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink the pipa, immediately remind me.

Lord Grim drunk lying on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times.

Seeing that his poem was about to be named the first title again, a great Confucian who had been sitting on the far side suddenly said, "Isn't that right?"

"What does Cao Daru think is wrong?"

"Although the writing style of the competition is very good, but the border of our Wei Dynasty is peaceful, how can there be so many soldiers and soldiers? The mood of this poem is so negative, how can it match the title No.1."

"This..." Several doctors looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Jiang Ziyan retorted, "Although the border of Great Wei is peaceful now, how was it before? Today's peace is won by the blood of many soldiers, and how many people died in battle? Generals die in a hundred battles, and strong men return in ten years. Without them, How did we come to be who we are today? Is it wrong to say how many people fought in ancient times?"

Cao Daru's name is Cao Xuanshi, and he commented on Jiang Ziyan's poems in front of so many people, and his words were mostly belittling.

He is a great Confucianist in the world and has a very high reputation.Jiang Ziyan refuted him so directly, and what he said was very reasonable, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Tang Shizhi on the side liked him even more because of these poems written by Jiang Ziyan.However, seeing Jiang Ziyan's calm rebuttal to Cao Xuanshi, he couldn't help reminding him in a low voice: "That's a great Confucian in the world, a role model for scholars in the world. If you contradict him face to face and don't save him any face, you know it will bring great benefits to your future career. How much trouble is it? Even if you are dissatisfied, you shouldn't say it so directly. Now that he can't step down in public, you will suffer in the future."

Cao Xuanshi's words just now were clearly criticizing, but in Jiang Ziyan's impression, he had never met Cao Daru, and had never offended him, so how could he make things difficult for him today?

Jiang Ziyan never figured it out. At this moment, Huang Ye who was next to him seemed to see what he was thinking. He glanced at Cao Xuanshi sitting on the stage, and a sharp flash of light flashed in his eyes.

He turned his head and reminded Jiang Ziyan, "I heard that Cao Xuanshi and Cao Daru are Li Zhiyuan's grandfather. Just now you made his grandson unable to step down, so he will definitely make things difficult for you. Otherwise, what did you do with Li Zhiyuan just now?" Just forget about the bet, right?" Huang Ye said tentatively in the last sentence.

Jiang Ziyan was slightly shocked that there was still such a relationship.In Jiang Yu's memory, he didn't care who Li Zhiyuan's grandfather was. No wonder Li Zhiyuan was so confident today.

The first few poems written by Jiang Ziyan are very correct, and there is no fault at all.Now that the last question involves family, country and world, it is convenient to do some articles.

Jiang Ziyan expressed his gratitude to Tang Shizhi and Huang Ye for their kindness, but he has no intention of official career, even if he offended Cao Xuanshi today, so what, he won't take the imperial examination.Now that he is in the capital, it will not be long before the people in the Hou Mansion will know his whereabouts.No matter what, in name he is still a member of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion has to take care of everything that happens.

Jiang Ziyan said: "I can't forget it. I don't take the imperial examination, and my official career is not important to me. I don't want to be in the officialdom, and it doesn't matter if I offend or not."

Cao Xuanshi didn't expect that the other party didn't show him any face. His face was full of anger, and he thought that this young man was so arrogant, and he would definitely have a hard time in the officialdom.

A few doctors didn't want to save Cao Xuanshi's face, and they were hesitating whether to set Jiang Ziyan's seven-character poem as the first.At this moment, another great scholar surnamed Zheng spoke up, and he said, "I think this young man's poems are very good. Cao Daru can't pick a bone just because your grandson was bullied!"

What Zheng Daru said was very straightforward, Cao Xuan's face flushed with anger, he snorted, got up and left with a flick of his sleeves.

With so many people in the audience, what Jiang Ziyan said was reasonable. In the end, several doctors smoothed things over and decided that Jiang Ziyan's seven-character song was No.1.

Huang Ye at the bottom was very surprised when he heard that Jiang Ziyan said that his ambition was not in the officialdom. He originally wanted to ask Xiao Dezi to find out where it came from after the poetry competition was over, so that he could focus on it.

But he didn't expect that the other party was not interested in scientific research, which made him feel regretful.

Jiang Ziyan wrote five poems today, each of which can be called a classic if taken out individually. It is a pity that such a talented person cannot devote himself to serving the country.

It doesn't matter. Huang Ye was surprised and regretful, and the other scholars present were also very surprised. It's surprising that such a talented person has no intention of career.

Now the first round of the poetry competition of the poetry competition has ended, and after a short break, there will be pairs.

Taking advantage of the rest time, Huang Ye couldn't help asking: "Mr. Jiang, why doesn't he want to be an official, why doesn't he serve the country with such talent?"

This is what the other people present wanted to know, and they all quietly waited for his answer.

Jiang Ziyan thought to himself, he doesn't have much talent, he just stole a few other people's poems in order to suppress Li Zhiyuan's vigor.

Besides, he said that he was not interested in officialdom, not that he didn't want to enter the court.It was because he felt that he was not the material for Han Chuang to study hard at all.

The imperial examination is not an easy task. Even though he has more than ten years of reading experience, he is really not good at studying literature.Not to mention the real time for the imperial examination.

Especially in the spring of February, the weather is warm and cold. During the exam, each person has a small room with a width of three feet and a height of six feet. One exam lasts eight or nine days. They can only rest in it at night. They can’t even stretch their legs when they sleep. Yes, the conditions are very difficult.

So I still admire the scholar Jiang Ziyan here.

But he couldn't express these thoughts in front of so many people, so he made up a set of rhetoric, saying: "Life is only a few decades, and the time between bliss is very short. Said that if you want to serve the country, the only way to go is the imperial examination.”

Some of the people present couldn't help but sneered when they heard this: "Don't tell me you want to follow the way of martial arts?"

Jiang Ziyan was tall and thin, so he didn't look like a martial artist, and the people below couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Ziyan was not angry. After he calmed down, he continued: "My ambition is not in the officialdom, and naturally I am not in the martial arts. My ambition is to become rich through business."

Hearing that he wanted to start a business, the people present were even more puzzled and surprised. It doesn't matter if he is not in the officialdom. If he is looking for the free life of the wild cranes in the clouds, others can understand.But he said that his ambition is to go into business?

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have the lowest status.Even though Emperor Wei raised the treatment of some merchants in order to recuperate and promote economic development in the past few years, in the eyes of others, the status of merchants has always been despised.

Just like the other scholars present here.After hearing that Jiang Ziyan's ambition was to do business, contempt and contempt appeared on his face.These scholars have always hated the smell of copper on the businessman's body, and even Tang Shizhi, who had a good impression of Jiang Ziyan just now, is a little respectful at this moment.

As for Huang Ye, he was even more disappointed.I thought that maybe I found a talented person for Wei, and cultivated it to become his humerus arm, but now the other party said that he likes to do business?

However, Huang Ye also noticed one point. Just now Jiang Ziyan said that he wanted to serve the country not only through the imperial examination. Does that mean that he wants to become rich in business and serve the country?

But throughout the ages, businessmen are the best at chasing profits, and they are only doing business for their own wealth.Even if the national treasury is empty and needs to collect food and grass for the front line, they always reason that there is not much cash available, so how can they talk about serving the country.

Regarding this point, Huang Ye still wanted to hear his opinion, so he asked, "Do you mean to serve the country by becoming rich through business?"

"Yes. Throughout the ages, the economy has been a major support for the country. Apart from agriculture, finding a suitable way to make money to fill the treasury can make the country prosper day by day. However, it is not enough to rely on annual tax revenue, not to mention the benevolence of the Holy One today. I am still young, but I also know that the national treasury was empty due to the war a few years ago, and the country urgently needs to recuperate, so I specially reduced some taxes. In this way, the treasury tax will be even less."

Huang Ye couldn't help but nodded, thinking that Jiang Ziyan's analysis was too correct. Now that the national treasury is in a severe deficit and disasters occur all over the country, the Ministry of Household Affairs asks him every year for money relief, and every time he suffers from severe headaches.

"My ambition is to do business, because I am not trying to make money for myself. Just imagine, if I open a shop and make money, will I be short of manpower after expanding the shop? At this time, those people who are idle, such as beggars and refugees Recruit workers so that they don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and they can still get wages. If things go on like this, the people will be richer and their lives will be better, so won’t the country be better?”

"People's livelihood is fundamental. No matter what you do, as long as you can make the people live a good life, the country will surely prosper."

"Besides, there's nothing wrong with being in business. As long as I'm doing my job properly and have a family and a country in my heart, I'll have a clear conscience wherever I go."

"That's really good!" Someone in the crowd jumped up, and he admired the magnanimous formal style of this gentleman.

Huang Ye's eyes sparkled, it was the first time he heard such remarks.The other party did not shrink back because others despised him for doing business, but told everyone clearly that there is nothing to be looked down upon in business, unless you look down on yourself.

Jiang Ziyan chose to express his ambition here today because he has his own considerations for doing business and getting rich.

After all, now that he has returned to the capital, in the eyes of others, he is still the young master of the Hou family. When the news of his business is spread throughout the capital, he does not know what kind of ridicule he will receive.At that time, the Hou family will probably come to trouble him, after all, the Hou family will also lose face.

Now, taking this opportunity, he speaks out openly, maybe he can win a wave of goodwill, and when he goes into business in the future, it will not cause a big controversy.

It has to be said that Huang Ye was very fond of his remarks today.However, he still has deep regrets for Jiang Ziyan's abandonment of his official career.
