Anxin Industrial Zone has gathered most of the craftsmen and elites in Anxin, who are responsible for a series of research and development work in Anxin. Sometimes the difference between inventors and ordinary people is just a little bit of thinking, and Li Yi is the carrier of thinking about new things. As long as

He gave these craftsmen some ideas, and they would eventually give Li Yi what he wanted.

Through Li Yi's drawings and explanations, the craftsmen successfully developed flintlock guns, cement, glass, artillery, textile looms, new weapons, soap, and improved ironmaking, coal utilization and other technologies. This is also the reason why Anxin's life is getting better and better.

The reason is that it is more and more convenient.

However, the breech-loaded flintlocks, steam engines, steelmaking and other technologies mentioned by Li Yi are indeed progressing slowly. Craftsmen who only focus on how to solve problems with old craftsmanship can no longer keep up with Li Yi's requirements. New talents with innovative thinking are the

Anxin’s much-needed strength for scientific research development.

Anxin has now implemented universal education. Children between the ages of six and twelve are required to receive Xinxue teachings. From elementary school to literacy and sentence making, knowing etiquette and practicing rituals, to middle school to learning computing skills, there are already special training plans.

But time is too short now. A new batch of children in Anxin have just finished literacy courses. It will take at least three years for them to master arithmetic skills.

Before these new groups of craftsmen grow up, Li Yi can only rely on the old craftsmen to support Anxin's research and development work.

An Xin is stable, Wei Zhongxian is ready to hide his power and bide his time, and Li Yi has nothing to deal with.

Thanks to the rural homes for the elderly and the decentralization system he founded, it was possible to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Otherwise, with so many things to do at both ends, there would be no time to deal with the imperial examination.

After the matter was settled, it was time to release the results.

That day, Li Yi was studying in the courtyard of Sun's house, but he heard footsteps approaching outside.

Xiaoyu was dealing with the paperwork for the Fuguo Society on the side, with a serious look on her face, probably not hearing it.

She is now in charge of An Xin's experience in issuing documents, and she is also considered a secretary-general, so she is naturally very busy.

When Li Yi saw how serious she was, he didn't bother her and walked to the door by himself.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Li Yi opened the door and saw He Ji.

He Ji is the leader of the shop in Baoding Prefecture. When this time comes, Li Yi doesn't have to guess, it must be the results of the Prefecture Examination.

Sure enough, when He Ji saw that it was Li Yi who opened the door, his breathing became even more rapid, and his voice trembled, and he said: "Master, Master, you are... hit."

Seeing that he was out of breath and flushed, Li Yi was not in a hurry and let him go into the yard to rest.

At this time, Xiaoyu had already hurriedly brought tea.

He Ji picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip. He had traveled for a long time and was indeed very thirsty.

Li Yi was waiting calmly, but Xiaoyu couldn't calm down and asked hurriedly: "You won? Did you win the list?"

Xiaoyu said this, and He Jicai quickly swallowed the tea and said excitedly: "I won, I won. I ranked first in the government examination, and the young master also ranked first in the government examination."

Li Yi did not expect that he was the first again, and he was full of surprise at the moment.

Xiaoyu looked at it and thought that Li Yi was so excited that he forgot all about it. She shook his body and said excitedly: "First, first in the government examination. Shitou, you are in high school again."

Both of them were extremely excited and congratulated Li Yi with trembling bodies.

But as the person involved, Li Yi was not excited at all. He looked at the two dancing people as if they were watching a play and smiled evilly.

Xiaoyu was the first to react and said: "What is your reaction? You will be a child student in the government examination of high school. After the high school examination, you will have fame."

The imperial examination was of great importance at this time. Li Yi has now passed the government examination and is still ranked first, which is equivalent to the number one scholar in the college entrance examination. This honor is what many people dream of. Xiaoyu is really happy for Li Yi.

Li Yi also understood this. When he saw Xiaoyu starting to have a little temper, he smiled and said: "I didn't expect that I came first in the government examination. This is a normal reaction to surprise."

Seeing Li Yi's plain expression, Xiaoyu said with disdain: "You really think I'm a fool, I can't see your expression. You're not satisfied with being the first in the government examination. I really don't know what you want?"

"

Xiaoyu muttered to the side, and then realized that He Ji was here too. She immediately put away her daughterly attitude, took out three taels of silver from her purse, and gave it to He Ji.

When He Ji saw it, he quickly declined. He was a member of the national society and a subordinate of Prince Li Yi. How could he ask for rewards like an outsider?

Xiaoyu also grew up very fast in Fuguo Society. She smiled and said: "I know you are one of my own family members, but there is always a bonus when announcing good news. You can take this money."

These words were appropriate, and He Ji felt much warmer in his heart, and turned to look at Li Yi.

Li Yi saw it and smiled and said: "Your sister-in-law gives it to you, just take it."

When He Ji saw that the young master also said this, he immediately accepted the money.

On the other hand, Xiaoyu was told by Li Yi that her sister-in-law blushed with embarrassment, lowered her head and said, "Who is his sister-in-law? You are a dirty bitch."

He Ji watched the young master and Xiaoyu bickering from the side, not daring to speak, but his face was full of joy.

Li Yi was scolded by Xiaoyu, but he was not shy and said openly: "It's not today, it will be in the future. He Ji, do you think it is?"

He Ji nodded quickly after hearing this and said, "It'll be a matter of time."

Xiaoyu's cheeks were hot, she glared at Li Yi and He Ji with bright eyes, and cursed softly: "Two grown men teamed up to bully me, I'm really not ashamed."

After saying that, he entered the house.

As soon as he reached the door, he turned around and said: "Shitou, you are now ranked first in the imperial examination. Sun Ce and the others will probably know if there is a wedding banquet tonight?"

According to the capabilities of Fuguoshe's intelligence network, I am afraid that I already know it now. Li Yi thought for a while and said: "I should know it. Let's go to Zuixiang Building to book a banquet, and I will invite them to celebrate in the evening."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Yaowen was seen strolling over, with Sun Cerium and Ma Hewen behind him.

Seeing the three people coming in, Li Yi said with a smile: "You guys came quickly. I really want Xiaoyu to prepare."

After hearing this, Sun Zhen came up and gave Li Yi a hammer, and said with a smile: "You are a real person and don't show your face. You got the first place in the county examination, and you got the first place in the government examination. If this continues, I'm afraid even the number one scholar will be captured."

Li Yi and Sun Zhen are brothers, but they are so close that others can envy them.

Sun Yaowen walked up and said with a smile: "Sir, I heard that you got the first place in the government examination. All the brothers were clamoring to congratulate you. Well, we came to see you."

"Everyone knows?" Li Yi said in surprise. He didn't expect that they would make such a big fuss during a government examination.

In the high school entrance examination, Li Yi was already confident before, so apart from being a little surprised about the ranking, there is nothing surprising. But the same can't be said for Sun Yaowen and others.

Let’s take Sun Ce, who has a well-established family background. Although he also passed the imperial examination, he only ranked in the middle at that time. He was outclassed by everyone and did not stand out. But here, Sun Yaowen and Ma Hewen both took the imperial examination, but they did not even take the imperial examination.

None of the people in Fuguoshe had ever participated in the imperial examination, let alone none.

The status and wealth of scholar-bureaucrats have already given the imperial examination a sacred and glorious aura. Now Li Yi actually ranks first in the imperial examination. How can such ability not make everyone present feel awe and joy?

Hearing that Sun Yaowen had notified the members of the Fuguo Society and that everyone was waiting to congratulate him, Li Yi could not refuse.

He nodded towards Ma Hewen and said, "In that case, let Xiaoyu and He Ji rent the Zuixiang Building. I won't come back until I get drunk today."

When they heard that they would not go home until they were drunk, several people were excited.

The Fuguo Society was busy, and several people were exhausted. They had long wanted to have a leisurely drink and get drunk, which could be regarded as a rest.

"Very good, I must have a good drink today." Sun Yaowen laughed loudly.

Li Yi saw it and said, "You go to the restaurant first, I'll go there later."

After hearing this, Sun Ce hurriedly said: "Let's talk about it later. I want to have a good talk today."

But Li Yi shook his head and said: "I am able to rank first in the high school examination, thanks to Mr. Wang's professor. I will go to Wang's house to visit Xie En now."

The ancient rituals are complicated, but they can cultivate one's moral integrity and nourish one's energy, and the manners are numerous.

Although Li Yi is not good at etiquette, the necessary etiquette is indispensable. Mr. Wang has worked hard to teach him for several months. He got the first place in the imperial examination today mainly because of Mr. Wang's help. This is not a small favor.

, Li Yi must go to thank Mr. Tue as soon as possible.

Of course, Sun Ce understood this. Li Yi was very kind to Li Yi, and he could not persuade him no matter what. He immediately smiled and said: "Then you go visit Mr. Wang first, and I will go to the restaurant to wait for you."

After hearing this, Li Yi cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, go ahead. I'll be there later."

Sun Cerium and Sun Yaowen both bowed and saluted, said goodbye and went to arrange the celebration banquet in the evening.
