Villager of Daming

Chapter 122 It's hard to be inferior to the imperial examination (second update)
The coachman opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally held back and ate his own chicken.

He didn't think the other party was lying, he thought he was from the palace, so don't ask too much, but is the smoked chicken in the palace better than this?

"It's not very delicious. I think there are many people buying it." A child commented while eating.

"Yes, it's not as good as the one in Fuhua Building. Let's go back there to eat at night." The little girl continued.

Other villagers nodded one after another. All kinds of snacks are not as good as the village, including steamed fish and old duck soup.

They don't know that the recipes taught by Hanhan are all refined, and the same dish has different methods in different regions.

Some dishes need seasoning, and some seasonings have to be bought in pharmacies. Who cooks and goes to pharmacies to find things?

The coachman was at a loss again, could it be that he was wrong, these people are pretending to be ordinary people?
He just ate his own, and earned a meal, and money to feed the horses, which were good meals.

After eating, continue to look, go to the side of the Qinhuai River, go west from the place where you are eating now, and the Qinhuai River is not far away.

When we got to the river, someone was selling cold drinks, and the driver swallowed, wondering if everyone would buy them?If you buy it, you can give yourself a copy.

As a result, the children just looked around, and none of them wanted to eat. The ice looked unclean, not as good as the ones in the village.

Not to mention other ingredients, just grab it with your hands?Did you wash your hands?Tools are used in the village.

If you don’t eat it, seeing that the prince is going to get married, brother Hanhan will grab medicine for his stomach, what if it’s too late?

"I'll pay you the fare, it's a day's worth." The village chief found it inconvenient for many outsiders to speak, so he didn't care much about it.

"This, isn't this good? How do you go back?" The coachman was happy and embarrassed, taking advantage of too much.

"Take a boat to go back. There are many boats on the shore, so I found a boat and turned back." Li Chang pointed to the boats on the Qinhuai River.

"Then... am I really leaving?" The coachman took the money, thirty yuan a day, he just rented a car to support his family and had no land.

Everyone waved to him, he looked back and looked, drove away, and took another job, even if it was ten cents, it would be more money.

As soon as the coachman left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It was inconvenient to chat with him.

"Zhu Lichang, when you are away from home, you can't compare it to being at home. If you need anything for food, you can get it from the palace.

Now Guanglu Temple can cook all the dishes that your village can cook, and it is guaranteed to taste the same as your village. "

Zhou Zong saw that everyone didn't like to eat outside snacks, so he suggested that they be delivered by Guanglu Temple, which was not a problem.

The chief thought about it and shook his head: "I don't want it, the food in Fuhua Building is fine."

"Is it safe to sleep at night? Give you soothing incense?" Zhou Zong said something again.

"We have brought some powder, including some powder. If there is a need for medicinal materials, Zhou Sheren will be troubled."

The head of the village still refused, and many things were prepared when he went out, but the money has not been spent yet, and it has always been the copper coins brought by the children.

Unless the powder brought by someone who is sick doesn't work, you have to take it from the palace.

There are guards from the Prince's Mansion, ready to help at any time, entering the palace is not a problem, Hanhan has a prince's jade pendant!
After Zhou Zong thought about it, he found that it was indeed the case. At worst, he would call someone from the Tai Hospital.

Everyone continued to tour, and the silver box was lifted up by two guards with a wooden pole.

1000 taels of silver is more than 70 catties, and it takes a lot of effort for one person to carry it, even the simple ones are unwilling to carry it.

The consumption level along the Qinhuai River has become higher, and well-dressed people can be seen everywhere. Girls are not open for business during the day, but they will come out, showing off their beauty.

There were also literati reading and writing in the shade, and the girl went to study together.

Some officials are most willing to go to the place where official prostitutes are, and there are family members of criminal officials.

Officials don't have any special hobbies in looking for such women. They ask someone to ask when they don't understand something in the officialdom.

Especially the wives of older officials, who are five or sixty years old, why are there still people willing to spend money?The price is still high!

When Zhu Wentian's friends saw the girls, their boyfriends thought they were beautiful, and their girlfriends also wanted to imitate their actions.

Zhu Wentian was indifferent, he couldn't marry anyway, the imperial court's decree restricts him, if he took it, he would be beaten, and then he would be forcibly separated from you.

When he saw those literati, he found it boring, so he came here to study?
The imperial examination was taken this year, and after the examination is over, you have to wait three years before you can take the exam again.

It is estimated that they failed the list. This year, there are 120 people in total, and one of them is a foreigner.

No.1 is Wu Bozhong, and No.2 is Guo Chong. It is said that Guo Chong is not handsome enough, so he was made the second.

Three years...

Zhu Wentian looked at his little friends, and looked at boys, is three years enough to teach a champion?
There is no three years, the exam is finished today, and the exam will be taken again next year, and the third time is the 18th year of Hongwu.

Zhu Yuanzhang said that the students who took the previous test were not good, so he simply stopped and continued to recommend others to become officials in the imperial court.

It's obviously too late for my little friends, unless I go back to take the childbirth test after attending the prince's wedding.

Forget it, so you can't take the exam, and get admitted to be an official?That's troublesome!

Zhu Wentian gave up the idea of ​​being an official. Being an official of Zhu Yuanzhang is too tiring, so it is better to let the children in the village do it.

There will be no exam next year, and then... Maybe it can be changed so that Zhu Yuanzhang will still hold the imperial exam every three years.

Zhu Yuanzhang mainly thought that the people who participated in the imperial examination had no practical ability. He said: "There are many young people who have been recruited by the company. If you look at his writing, if you can do something, and try it out, there are very few people who can act with what you have learned."I seek virtuous persons with sincerity, and the world responds to me with empty words, which is not my intention of seeking virtuous persons in reality.It is advisable to suspend the imperial examinations in various places today, so that there are inspectors to promote talents.

It means that I can write articles one by one, but I can’t do things, I can’t do anything, I’m tired...

Zhu Wentian also knew why Zhu Yuanzhang valued the masters of Xiaqiu Village, because he led the village to develop from the very basics.

This seems to be what Daming needs the most, and he can learn it immediately, so when he trains his friends, he must continue to keep his feet on the ground.

When you become an official, don't think about being greedy. The village has money, and you are not as greedy as the village earns.

It is even less the turn of the children of the village to be prime ministers. By the time the promotion reaches that level, Zhu Yuanzhang has already completed the centralization of power.

Whether there is Hu Weiyong or not can prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from firmly controlling the power, and whoever is in that position will be punished.

Li Shanchang had already resigned, but he was still missed in the end.

Being an official of Zhu Yuanzhang should not have too much power. This is a kind of political wisdom, but it has to do practical results, which involves the test of human nature.

"Hanhan, we're on the boat. Let's take a closer look on the boat. We came in a hurry and there were a lot of things, so we passed by in a flash."

The village chief greeted Hanhan, he looked at Hanhan in a daze, could it be that he missed those girls?

"Hey! The boat is shaking, um! Hehehe!" Zhu Wentian came back to his senses and ran to the pier to help the village elder.
