After time travel, I became the first richest woman in Lizhao

Chapter 73
Thinking of this, Zhao Linger took up a pen and wrote an invitation letter, and ordered Ah Zhen to hand it over to Zhou You, and let him put the invitation letter on the advertisement column.

She also asked Su Yixiang to write an invitation letter to the well-known Mr. Zhu in Yunzhou, asking him to come to the Yingbin Building on November [-]th.

a week later.

"Let's go, let's go to the Yingbin Building for lunch today!" Zhao Linger said to Su Yining.

Su Yining asked in surprise: "Why do you go to the Yingbin Building for dinner?"

"Don't you think you have learned well? Go and compete with your comrades today to see if you are really ready."

"The competition is the competition. Anyway, I feel that I have almost prepared."

The two walked into the Yingbin Building.

The lobby of the Yingbin Building is very lively today.

More than a dozen young people dressed as scholars gathered in the lobby and were discussing their recent study experience.

"Hmph!" After listening to a few words, Su Yi Ning felt that they were talking in general terms and it was not worth mentioning, so he walked to the side alone and sat down to drink tea.

After a while, old Mr. Zhu came in.

When the scholars saw Mr. Zhu, they saluted one after another.

Su Yi Ning didn't expect that Mr. Zhu would also come, so he couldn't help standing up and saluting.

Zhu Qingchen said with a smile: "All young talents are prospective applicants who will take part in the examination next year. It is a great honor for Zhu to be invited here today. I hope that today's examination questions can inspire you, broaden your mind, and urge you to keep learning and keep learning. progress."

"Young masters, please find your own seats and sit down. Our answering questions are about to begin." Zhao Ling'er stood up and asked Bai Yingxi to distribute pens, ink, paper and inkstones to everyone.

It was only then that Su Yining realized that this was Mr. Zhu invited by Zhao Linger. What was her intention?
Zhu Qingchen said: "Today, we will simply take the topic of 'The Art of Royal Meritorious Officials', and the time is limited to one stick of incense. Please start answering the questions now."

Su Yi Ning thought for a while, then frowned, dipped the pen into the ink, and started to write smoothly.

Zhao Linger is also thinking about the problem.

She couldn't help but think of a saying by Zhang Zhidong, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, "The way to control talents is to worry about their lack of desire, and if they have desires, they will be available."

Zhao Linger planned that such an event would be held every month in the future, and only when she got together could she know where she was, but next time she couldn't be in the Yingbin Building, which would delay her elder brother's business.

After the incense stick was over, Zhu Qingchen collected the answer sheet.

Zhao Ling'er stepped forward and said, "All candidates have worked hard. Let's have lunch together today. In the afternoon, I will ask Mr. Zhu to mark the papers for everyone. We can also learn from each other."

"Thank you, Miss Linger!"

"How is it? Are you confident in yourself?" Zhao Linger asked.

"Of course! I, Su Yi Ning, have been preparing for the test for 15 years, and there is no problem that can stop me!"

Zhao Linger smiled slightly.

After dinner, everyone sat around Mr. Zhu.

After Mr. Zhu read one article, everyone passed it on to each other.

"Look, this article is well written! The skill of a meritorious official lies in convincing others with virtue. Confucius said: 'If his body is upright, he will follow orders; if his body is not upright, he will not follow orders.' Where he excels others, he is bright and upright, distinguishing right from wrong, not needing to be harsh in words, but convincing others with virtue, and the minister will be pleased and sincerely convinced."

Su Yi Ning listened contentedly, it was he who wrote this article.

Mr. Zhu saw it and liked it.

"I heard: The king of the Ming Dynasty's meritorious officials also measure their merits and limit them to nobles. When they judge their crimes, they are corrected by the law. They are limited by nobles, so they will be honored when they are added. I know you are kind. Gratitude and glory are added together, fear and love help each other, there is no second ambition from the bottom, and no doubt from the top: The reason why the king of Ming thinks of credit is the way of all monarchs and ministers...Only Your Majesty can see it."

"This is well written!" A scholar praised immediately after reading.

"Well, this article is even better than the one just now! To control a hero, there are not only rewards but also punishments. Gratitude and honor, love and fear. That's right!" The scholar nodded repeatedly.

Su Yi Ning frowned, who wrote this article?It actually made him doubt himself a little.

He felt a little blushing: Am I not the best?

Mr. Zhu read all the answer sheets, and commented: "I think you all wrote well, these few articles are particularly good. However, I am most satisfied with this one."

As he spoke, he raised the test paper in his hand, which was written by a son named Liu Wenjie.

Everyone looked at Liu Wenjie.

That Liu Wenjie was only wearing a thin layer of cotton robes, and his shoes were also single cloth shoes, so he didn't look like a kid from a rich family.

Liu Wenjie was shy and at a loss, just smiled and lowered his head without speaking.

"'Measure the merits and limit them to the nobles, judge their crimes and correct them according to the law.' It is indeed a practical administrative method. And the rewards and punishments are clearly defined, which not only motivates people to improve, but also prevents heroes from being complacent. It is well-founded, Moreover, the whole article has a head, a head, and a tail, and the structure is complete, so that people can clearly understand the meaning of the author after reading it, it is a rare masterpiece!"

After Mr. Zhu finished his analysis, everyone turned around and surrounded Liu Wenjie.

"Brother Wenjie, your articles are really good. What kind of books do you usually read? I will also borrow some excerpts from you!"

"Liu Wenjie, I didn't expect your policy theory to be so well written. What are policy heads, policy items, and policy tails? You can teach me later!"

"Wenjie, can you lend me a copy of your article? I want to go home and recite it, maybe it can be used in the exam!"

"Brother Wenjie, where is your home? Let's go to your study together!"

……

Farewell to Mr. Zhu, everyone embraced Liu Wenjie and went to chat again.

Su Yining got into the carriage with a sullen face and said nothing.

Zhao Linger followed him silently.

After returning home, Su Yi Ning locked herself in the study.

Zhao Linger didn't say anything.

It just so happened that Lin Wan'er brought over the clothes she made for Mrs. Su, and she also took this time to see if the rooms of her parents and brother and sister-in-law were warm.

Mrs. Su has hardly come down since she got the kang.

Seeing Zhao Ling'er coming over suddenly, she hurriedly got out of bed, pretending to be nonchalant, and sat on the chair with the stove in her hand.

"Mother, how is the kang used? Are you still used to it?"

Mrs. Su glanced at the ground, and said: "That's it, no matter how hot the bed is, you can't stick to it every day, can you?"

Hey, this is a dead duck with a hard mouth!

Zhao Ling'er knew it well, so she didn't say anything, she held two sets of clothes and said to Madam Su: "Mother, these are the clothes I specially asked someone to make for you, put them on and see if they fit."

Mrs. Su glanced at the clothes, and said, "Put it there. It doesn't matter if it fits or not, anyway, I can't wear all the clothes!"

Seeing that Zhao Ling'er couldn't continue talking this day, she should go find her sister-in-law.

Seeing her coming, Mu Yunqing said with a smile: "Come here, I'll recommend a good novel for you, but unfortunately there are only the first ten chapters, I've read it several times, and I don't know when the next chapters will come out! I heard it was printed in your small courtyard! Do you know who this 'Anonymous' is? Urge him to write it quickly for me!"

Zhao Linger shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

She took it over and saw that it was "Journey to the West" written by herself.

"Oh, it's such a good-looking novel, but the writing is too slow! I'm anxious to wait! If only I could see the end in one breath!"
