My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 365 Scientific Examination

In a newly opened teahouse in Qiongzhou, Lingnan, Qu Xiujie said to his sons: "Write down the questions and answers silently, and I will help you look at them."

In the end, he couldn't let go of his dignity and went to participate in the new scientific examination in Lingnan.

However, although he did not go, he asked several sons at home to participate.

At this moment, several of his sons had finished the exam and left the examination room. Qu Xiujie was asking them to write down the questions and answer sheets as he usually did when his sons took part in the imperial examination, to help them evaluate their results in the exam.

The Qu family brothers looked at each other with expressions of embarrassment on their faces.

Qu Xiujie's eldest son Qu Siyuan whispered: "Dad, please don't embarrass us."

Qu Xiujie looked at his eldest son with an unhappy expression, "You are also a Jinshi after all. You have participated in so many scientific examinations. You can't even write down a question silently?"

Qu Siyuan, the third son of the Qu family, said: "Dad, the questions in this scientific examination are actually different from those I took before."

Qu Siyou also said: "Dad, you don't know that many of the questions are very strange and weird, and I didn't even understand them."

"What topic?" Qu Xiujie regretted a little. If he had known it earlier, he would not have cared about the face and signed up himself.

Qu Siyou lowered his head. He didn't even understand what many of the questions meant. How could he remember the content?

Moreover, there were too many test questions, divided into several pages. He was not as good as his two brothers academically. After the test, his head was like a ball of mush, and he could not write down the questions silently.

Qu Xiujie looked at his other three sons, "You don't remember either?"

Qu Xiujie had a total of five sons. The eldest, third, and fourth sons were born to the main wife, and the other two were born to concubines.

The eldest son is 30 years old this year, but the youngest son is only 16 years old.

I heard that the scientific examination held by Lingnan this time does not have much age restrictions. People as young as 15 and as old as 60 can participate as long as they pass the screening, so I asked my youngest son to participate too.

Qu Chang, Qu Xiujie's youngest son, said: "My son remembers a few questions."

He closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then picked up a pen and started writing.

Seeing this, the other brothers of the Qu family also calmed down and started writing silently with their pens.

When all the five Qu brothers finished writing the questions silently and handed the questions to Qu Xiujie, he found that almost all of them wrote one question: how to lead the people to develop the economy of the north, so that the refugees would be willing to move back to the north, and How to resettle refugees and develop the economy of the north.

Qu Xiujie smoothed his beard and said, "It seems that Madam wants to use this scientific examination to select officials!"

Qu Siyuan said: "Dad, don't our previous scores in the scientific examinations count?"

Qu Xiujie sighed. Logically speaking, he shouldn't.However, the Lu family and his wife did not act according to common sense.

No one could guess what she was going to do next, but it made them, the veterans of the court, unable to do anything about it.

Qu Xiujie said: "Go back to the inn to rest first, and wait to see the rankings!"

In fact, this year's exams were held simultaneously in Bohai County, Cangwu, Lingnan, Baodao and other places.

But Qu Xiujie wanted to take advantage of the scientific examination to get in touch with some meritorious families who had moved to Lingnan early to inquire about information and make connections.

So they rushed from Bohai County to Lingnan Reference.

However, the population in Lingnan is already dense, and with the recent scientific research, the flow of people has become even greater.

The inn near the examination room was already full of people. They arrived so late that they could not book a room.

In the end, the family could only live in a temporary inn on the outskirts of the city. He paid three or four times the price for the private room in this teahouse before someone resold it to him.

Several people left the teahouse and planned to drive back to the inn.Although they had already seen the flow of people in Qiongzhou, the father and son still had mixed emotions when looking at the dense crowds of people, cars and horses on the road.

It is really unimaginable that the Lu family developed a barbaric place where prisoners were exiled into such a large metropolis.

And how long has it been since the drought?
Lingnan actually recovered its vitality in such a short period of time.

Qu Siyuan looked at the streets on both sides, and then thought about what many students said when he left the examination room today, and suggested: "Father, why don't we walk along the street and go to the study by the way. I heard that many books in the Lingnan Study are It’s something that doesn’t exist outside.”

Qu Xiujie also heard about this, but when his sons were taking exams, he was busy arranging old acquaintances and didn't have time to go to the study to buy books.

He was also looking for an opportunity to visit the study.

Several people abandoned the carriage and walked slowly among the crowd.

I originally wanted to go to the study hall, but I was often attracted by the shops on the roadside and couldn't help but walk in.

Every time they walked into a shop, the father and son were amazed.

Also amazed by the prosperity of Qiongzhou were the Ling sisters.

This time Ling Yanli's husband Qu Siyuan came to Qiongzhou for scientific research, and Ling Yanli came with him in the name of taking care of her husband's food.

Ling Yanzhu's husband also came to Qiongzhou to take the scientific examination, and she persuaded her husband to come with him.

The two of them originally thought that Lingnan was just a refugee nest and could not compare with the capital city.

But what the two of them didn't expect was that the jewelry here was more beautiful than the ones in the capital.Is there any woman who doesn’t like jewelry?

When the two arrived at the jewelry store, they couldn't walk at all.

Not to mention, in addition to the beautiful jewelry in the jewelry shop, there is also a large rouge shop, which has a variety of balms and perfumes.

There are also many fresh foods that they have never seen before.

These are of course Jiang Tangtang's handiwork.

Once the drought was over, she was busy restoring the economy.Although there has been a drought in the past two years, the workers in the rouge workshop have not been idle.

I have been working hard to learn and develop new products.

Jiang Tangtang also supported them, rewriting books such as "Cosmetic Formula Design and Production Technology", "Cosmetic Natural Ingredient Raw Material Manual", "Vegetable Oil Complete Book" and other books into words that people of this era can understand, and then printed them into books for them to learn from.

She would patiently explain to the workers what they didn’t understand.

The workers' hard study and research in the past two years have not been in vain, and they have successively come up with many new products.

However, due to drought, there was no large-scale production.

In early winter last year, after the drought was lifted, Jiang Tangtang gave orders to the workshop to start producing new products one after another.

Since the rains in early winter last year, many plants in Lingnan have gradually returned to life.

In addition, Lingnan is different from other places. The climate in Lingnan is warmer. Jiang Tangtang occasionally uses spiritual springs to water the flowers and plants at the base, and many plants bloom.

The workers in the rouge workshop did not take a break during the New Year, and were busy picking flowers and plants for processing. When the new products were ready, they immediately asked Jiang Tangtang to price them, and then took them to the shop to sell them.

In addition to various new balms and fragrances, Rouge House has also expanded and built a new VIP room specifically to receive female guests.
