The peddlers are pawns, driving carts and selling pulp.

The bustling streets are bustling with traffic and people are coming and going. The shops lined up on both sides of the road are crowded and bustling, and the dazzling array of products is dazzling. The sounds of shouting and bargaining kept coming and going. The aroma of various delicacies fills the streets, making passers-by salivate. Children were playing and playing in the crowd, and laughter resounded throughout the street; young people were in groups, talking and laughing; and the elderly were walking leisurely and enjoying this wonderful time. Such a huge flow of people adds more vitality and vitality to the already bustling streets. .

In the restaurant in front, many civilians were eating and drinking on the first floor. The waiter greeted the guests to sit down, keeping their feet on the floor.

On the third floor, a group of scholars were having a drink with a middle-aged man wearing a splendid cloud-patterned robe, and they laughed happily from time to time.

"It has been known since ancient times that a righteous world must be based on welfare and end with poverty and low status. Without poverty, there will be no peace, without lowliness, there will be no settlement." The scholar looked at the traffickers and footmen below, and looked at their faces that were old due to their busy lives. There was a lot of sweat on his face and he kept wiping it, and chuckled.

"In this moral world, the peace and happiness of the people should be the most important. People should not be allowed to fall into poverty and humble situations." The middle-aged man smiled.

"Hahaha, what Boss Yan said is absolutely true. Although our Kundao Dynasty is one of the best dynasties in the Nanting Mountains, it has always had buildings overturned and water embankments collapsed, and it is not without a trace. It seems that we scholars should not study to death. When studying, one should step out of the cold window and see if the people on the street are stable, so that they can survive for a long time, treat people well, and serve the court, relieve His Majesty's worries, and benefit the common people. "

The young scholar who spoke had a jade-like face and an appearance like Pan An. He was a student of Linshan Academy in Linshan City, and his name was Zhao Jinzhong. At the same time, he is a high school scholar this year and is only in his early eighteen years. He can be said to be one of the top young talents in several nearby big cities!

When the scholars around heard what Zhao Jinzhong said, they all agreed in unison:

"What Brother Zhao said is exactly what scholars of our generation pursue throughout their lives!"

"If I can one day walk around the Dragon Court, meet the Holy Emperor, and get an official position, I will definitely take what Brother Zhao said today as a guide!"

"Hahaha, everyone is so polite. Today I am being hosted by Boss Yan, and my loyalty is just out of emotion. Come on, come on, everyone, give me a drink first!"

"Thank you, Boss Yan, for your kindness!"

"Thank you, Boss Yan!"

"You talented people have failed me. I, Yan Buzhi, have been wandering around since I was born. I finally managed to have a little family fortune in my early thirties. If I can invite a few talented people from Linshan Academy to drink this cup with me, it will be my honor. Let me give you a drink first!”

Yan Buzhi raised the wine glass with both hands and said with a sincere face.

In response to this, several scholars looked impressed and raised their glasses to drink the wine.

After finishing a drink, Zhao Jinzhong asked: "Boss Yan, thanks for your kindness, I wonder why you asked me to wait here today..."

Yan Buzhi smiled, with an awkward look on his face and said, "Everyone, I'm a rough guy and don't know much about etiquette, but in my life, I just thought that I didn't study enough when I was a child, and I have no other achievements in this life except making a little money. , I just made up my mind after listening to some high-level talks! Please forgive me if I am offended. I...actually want to ask all the students to write a letter of introduction for my daughter."

"this...."

Several scholars looked hesitant.

The Kundao Dynasty did not prohibit women from studying, and they could even take part in the imperial examinations. However, few of them could pass the exams.

Not to mention that today was their first time meeting the richest man in Linshan City. Linshan Academy was not an elementary school where anyone could enter.

Having money is only a trivial part, the most important thing is family background and the academic ability of the student.

"If Boss Yan just wants to fulfill his dream of not studying, why not hire a private school teacher to teach Qian Yuan alone?" Zhao Jinzhong asked strangely.

"How can those rotten scholars compare to you? How can they compare with Linshan Academy, one of the three major academies of the Kundao Dynasty? Although I am just an ordinary businessman with a little spare money, but for the sake of my little daughter's future, I naturally have to Choose the best for her! The great name of the academy, I just regret that I don't dare to go and disturb him. It just so happens that this year I saw that Zhao Caizi was really a literary scholar, and he was a high school scholar in the first government examination, so he licked his face and came over to ask for help. " Yan Buzhi said this. It can be said that the words are expressed with true feelings, and there is no pretentious gesture at all.

These words clearly express the father's expectations for his daughter, but secretly they also elevate Linshan Academy to be superior to the other two schools. They are worthy of being experienced in the business, and are well-versed in human nature.

When Zhao Jinzhong heard this, Feng Qingyundan's face was so tense that he almost laughed.

Yes, he is very proud. He is indeed a well-known prodigy, and now he will be promoted like those 'prodigies' in the past. In the end, he will definitely achieve great things when he becomes an official in the court!

No matter how hard Zhao Jinzhong tried to hide it, Yan Buzhi still saw the slight raise in the corner of his mouth.

Yan Buzhi smiled and said: "My little girl Yan Xirou has been reading and writing since she was a child. Now she has hairpin and needs to make further progress. Although she has not participated in the county examination to pass the child student examination...but this is last year's child student examination question. This is my little girl's humble work. Please also ask Please give me some advice."

While talking, Yan Buzhi took out a stack of paper and handed it to Zhao Jinzhong next to him.

Zhao Jinzhong was puzzled. Although he was very curious about where Yan Buji got the confidence to show him the answer sheet, he didn't want to hit a smiling person. If it weren't for his wealth, they wouldn't have come here today.

Reading also costs money.

Apart from other things, the preciousness of various books and textbooks, as well as the silver and money required for various literary gatherings, activities between scholars, etc., far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

Zhao Jinzhong saw the question, and then looked at the beautiful handwriting below, his eyes became serious.

The scholars around saw Zhao Jinzhong so solemn, and they couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Brother Zhao, is there anything wrong?"

"It's not wrong. I think I have practiced the standard of writing, and the handwriting is okay, but this way of solving the problem is really unheard of! If I were an examiner, Mr. Yan's daughter would definitely get a Tongsheng." Zhao Jinzhong couldn't help but sigh after reading it.

"Ah? Could it be that Mr. Yan's daughter is a talented woman?!"

"Brother Zhao, show me quickly!"

The scholars around were surprised. They took the answer sheet from Zhao Jinzhong and couldn't help but admire it after reading it.

"Really good!"

"I'm afraid that a mere student can't stump Mr. Yan's daughter. If she can really study in Linshan Academy, I'm afraid we will have a female scholar here in three years!"

"Hahaha."

Yan Buji breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then you all think highly of my daughter's humble work?"

Zhao Jinzhong nodded, changed the subject and asked: "I wonder if Mr. Yan knows the rules of entering Linshan Academy?"

"I know. If you are willing to write a letter of introduction, I will personally present a thousand taels of silver and a small house in the city, all of you can have it!" Yan Buji said with great wealth.

Hiss!

Really rich!

Not to mention that a thousand taels of silver is a real fortune, the value of this small house in Linshan City alone is more than a hundred taels of silver, not to mention that it requires connections with the government. It is not possible to buy a property in Linshan City just by having money.

He is indeed the richest man in Linshan City.
