The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 64 Fraud
They had dinner at a farmhouse in Huangming County and then rode back.

In August, Zheng Wuan took the county examination. Zheng Qiuyun returned to Linjiang County in early August and booked a room in the county inn.

Zheng Wuan is still in the academy, and Zheng Qiuyun can't do much for him except sending him to the examination room and picking him up.There were two days of testing in total. One day was about theoretical knowledge such as military strategy, and the other day was about rifle shooting, weight-bearing and other items.

After Zheng Wuan finished the exam, he didn't feel nervous at all. He found that Zheng Qiuyun had lost weight, so he and Zheng Wenping discussed bringing Zheng Qiuyun to make up for it.

Passing by Qiuyue Square, Zheng Qiuyun said hello to Zhao Huizhen and Zhao Linlang who were busy.The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching again, and there is a long queue in front of Qiuyue Square.Someone came forward in line and bought a hundred catties of mooncakes.There are also people who buy mooncakes, add three pennies and sell them next to them, and the supply exceeds demand.

The two of them were busy, and Zheng Qiuyun didn't waste much time. After asking about the situation, he went to eat mutton pot with Zheng Wenping and the others.In this weather, it would be so happy to have a hot mutton pot and continue to wash the vegetables after eating.

I heard compliments coming from the next table, "Siyi Academy has a blind eye, and in this scientific examination, Brother Liu Mao will definitely win the case."

Zheng Qiuyun suddenly remembered that there was someone like Liu Mao. She asked Zheng Wuan, "Didn't Liu Mao even pass the county examination? That shouldn't be the case. How old is he?"

Zheng Wu'an also heard the voice next door, "Liu Maokong has brute strength, but he has no advantage in military strategy. He always focuses on writing articles."

"No wonder," Zheng Qiuyun sighed, "this martial arts exercise is not easy, it requires both civil and military skills."

After dinner, two groups of people met at the door. Liu Mao was already drunk. When he saw Zheng Wuan, he was still unconvinced, "Just wait, you will definitely fail in this exam."

His firm tone made Zheng Qiuyun suspicious, and Zheng Qiuyun asked: "What about you? You are no longer on the list, right?"

Liu Mao's eyes turned red after drinking, "You're talking nonsense, there's no way I'll fail the exam, it's impossible."

Three days later, the imperial examination results were released. Although Zheng Qiuyun was nervous, he was still relatively confident in Zheng Wuan.As a result, Zheng Wuan's name was indeed not on the list, and Liu Mao was ranked first.

The people watching couldn't believe it, "Why is there no Zheng Wu'an here?"

"That's right, didn't I hear that he is a martial arts wizard?"

"I still have his illustrations at home. He didn't even pass the county examination, so what use are the illustrations?"

Liu Mao enjoyed being treated like a star and mocked Zheng Wuan: "Sure enough, I don't know why Siyi Academy would choose a waste like you."

Zheng Wuan wanted to fight with him, but was pulled down by everyone.He gritted his teeth and glared at Liu Mao angrily, "It was you, you were the one who did something."

Liu Mao took a step back and said, "How can you bite people randomly if you have no ability?"

Zheng Qiuyun said loudly with a cold face: "I have objections to this list and I request a review of the results."

The county lieutenant laughed and said, "If you say review, review it. This county has regulations. If the person who applies for review is correct, he will be punished for thirty years. Can you hold on?"

Zheng Wuan said loudly: "I can hold on, and I request a review of the results."

The county lieutenant's expression changed, and in full view of everyone, he could only comply.Witnessed by the people, the county magistrate, the chief registrar, the academy chief and others, the person responsible for reviewing the examination papers found Zheng Wuan's examination paper.

As soon as Zheng Wu'an saw the words on it, he knew they were not his. His handwriting was far from petty like a chicken pecking rice.

Fraud was such a big deal that the county magistrate became angry and ordered Liu Mao's test paper to be found and his handwriting checked on the spot.The obvious result is that someone deliberately mixed up the two sets of test papers.The county magistrate knew immediately after the first trial that it was the county captain who had done this.He accepted Liu Mao's benefits and felt that Zheng Qiuyun's family was just three siblings and could not afford to make trouble, so he agreed to help Liu Mao cheat.

The county lieutenant and Liu Mao were imprisoned, giving Zheng Wuan a real problem.Zheng Qiuyun held a banquet for everyone to have a good time.

I planted garlic last year and could save the seeds, so Zheng Qiuyun didn't buy it from the mall anymore.This year's garlic promotion has been extended to the entire Linjiang County, and the young people brought out by Feng Da last year came in handy. They went to various villages to teach their experience.

The garlic business here is proceeding in an orderly manner. Zheng Qiuyun went to Qingzhou again to teach the people to fertilize and cultivate the land in preparation for planting wheat.She consulted with the farmers in Qingzhou and worked with him to develop a reasonable watering plan based on local conditions.

Terraces were opened on the mountains and reservoirs were built.In times of drought, Jujie can be used to draw water. Jujie uses the principle of leverage to draw water from the reservoir with less effort.

Fields on flat land are more convenient. Water can be obtained for irrigating the fields near the river bank. However, if the terrain is low, canals can be built to divert water away from the river bank.For areas with higher terrain, tube trucks are used to divert water there.

The project was huge and required a lot of money. Pei Yuanqi had people bring the gems to the capital and sell them, which just filled the gap.

Zheng Qiuyun was only responsible for teaching and demonstrating. The real hard work was done by the governor and the people.He was doubtful at first, fearing that his efforts would be in vain. He didn't know what Pei Yuanqi had told him. The governor would call people to work at dawn.

After sowing, Sinong led the people to water the fields.A month later, Zheng Qiuyun showed him how to weed.

She asked the blacksmith to make a shovel. Considering the price of iron, Zheng Qiuyun made some modifications to the shovel.The sharp part at the front must be made of iron, and then a hole is installed with wood. The handle part is made of wood instead of iron, which saves a lot of money.

The blacksmith also made a square hoe with an iron head and a long handle of wood.

Zheng Qiuyun held a hoe and bent down to weed. He could get rid of the grass without much effort.She gave the hoe to Sinong, "Would you like to try it?"

Sinong tried it and found that it was indeed convenient and labor-saving, much faster than pulling it out by hand.He said in surprise: "This thing of yours works well, but you thought of it yourself?"

Zheng Qiuyun waved his hand, "No."

She saw that Sinong had been looking at her with admiration in the past few days. Zheng Qiuyun said sincerely: "Qiuyun is just an ordinary person. If there is any difference, it is that he has seen more than others."

Zheng Qiuyun also suggested, "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. If Sinong really wants to develop agriculture in Qingzhou, he must spread technology and recruit talents. There are many smarter people than me. I hope that one day Qiuyun can see it in Qingzhou Better tools.”

Sinong bowed to her and said seriously: "I have learned the lesson."

Zheng Qiuyun gave him a hand and then showed him the shovel.The shovel is more flexible. You can squat down and shovel grass wherever there is. It is lighter than a hoe.

Si Nong thought of Zheng Qiuyun's talk about communication technology and recruiting talents, and was deeply shocked. He came to see Lu Yuan, who was in charge of academic research, in the evening.

The two were old friends, and they spoke more casually. After two glasses of wine, Sinong began to sigh, "Miss Zheng has done so many things for the people of Qingzhou. She is really a blessing to the people of Qingzhou."

Lu Yuan still remembered that he had said bad things about Zheng Qiuyun, and he blushed for a moment, but he still kept his words, "Just watch, she said that wheat can produce [-] kilograms per mu, but I don't believe it anyway."
