Zhao Wen did not dare to say that he knew 100% about Hou Fangyu, but he knew a lot.

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect, I didn't expect that Hou Fangyu would fall to this level!" Zhao Wen looked at the storybook in his hand and shook his head sarcastically.

Zhao Wen looked down upon Hou Fangyu very much. This man's personal ethics was really poor.

On the Internet in later generations, many people quoted a few passages from Qing history manuscripts, saying that in order to serve as an official in the Qing Dynasty, Hou Fangyu offered his advice to the Qing army under the direct control of Zhang Cunren, the governor of Shandong and Henan provinces, to suppress the uprising of the Yuyuan Army.

But this is not the case. In the spring of the seventh year of Shunzhi, Hou Fangyu, because Zhang Cunren visited his father, was not allowed to write the "Proposal for the Suppression of the Governor's Offices of the Three Provinces" mentioned above in a general way.

Moreover, Zhang Cunren only flooded the Yuyuan Army in the eighth year of Shunzhi.

Although this is said, Hou Fangyu's personal ethics and ideological ethics are relatively low.

Even if Zhang Cunren's flooding of the Yuyuan Army had nothing to do with Hou Fangyu, it still had something to do with his father.

Li Xiaoying looked at Zhao Wen saying this and thought that Zhao Wen knew him, so she asked: "Does your husband know this person?"

Zhao Wen shook his head, "I don't know him, I just know a little bit about him, that's all."

"So that's it. I thought my husband knew this person."

"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore, there's no point in talking about him.

Zhao Wen put Hou Fangyu behind and began to chat with Li Xiaoying's parents.

At the same time, a young man was wandering aimlessly on the streets of Xuanzhen.

This young man is none other than Hou Fangyu.

Hou Fangyu's hometown is in Henan. Now that the railway from Xuanzhen to Henan has been built, it is more convenient to go from Henan to Xuanzhen. It only takes a day or two by train, which is many times faster than before.

Hou Fangyu is a very utilitarian person. Historically, he passed the imperial examination of the Qing Dynasty after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, so it is not surprising that he has come to Xuanzhen now.

The main purpose of his coming to Xuanzhen was to see if he could become an official.

Hou Fangyu wandered aimlessly on the streets of Xuanzhen. He looked at the buildings beside the streets of Xuanzhen and took deep breaths. "I didn't expect that Xuanzhen would be so prosperous.

In the past, this place was just a poor and cold place, but in just a few years, it has become so prosperous."

Hou Fangyu sighed repeatedly. "Sigh, I don't know if I can get admitted to the university in Xuanzhen during this trip."

Before coming to Xuanzhen, Hou Fangyu had already figured out the specific process of being an official.

The first thing you have to do is to get into college. If you don't get into college, you basically won't be able to become an official.

So Hou Fangyu wanted to come to Xuanzhen to try his luck and see if he could get into university. Of course, it was not time to get into university yet.

"If I can get into college after coming to Xuanzan this time, I can basically become an official.

But if you can’t get into college, then it has nothing to do with being an official.”

When Hou Fangyu said this, his brows suddenly wrinkled.

"I heard that there are quite a lot of subjects to be tested in this university, but there is no stereotyped writing, and no matter how good the stereotyped writing is, you can't get into the university. I heard that the exam content seems to include mathematics and other things. I don't understand it at all.

Yes, what should I do?"

Hou Fangyu is just a very ordinary scholar, and his eight-part essays are not very good.

During the Chongzhen period, it was difficult for him to pass the Jinshi examination, let alone the university entrance examination now.

"Oh, you still have to prepare early, otherwise, you won't be able to pass the college entrance examination!"

Hou Fangyu walked forward with heavy steps.

He had just walked out of Xuanzhen Railway Station not long ago. The first thing he had to do was to find an inn and stay there first.

There are quite a lot of inns in Xuanzhen. Because this is the capital for the time being, there are still more people coming to Xuanzhen on weekdays.

The more people come to Xuanzhen, the more inns there are.

It didn't take long for Hou Fangyu to find an inn and stay there.

In a hall called Tongguang Inn, where Hou Fangyu was sitting.

Just now, he ordered some dishes and a bowl of rice, but now the dishes and rice have not been served, so Hou Fangyu sat quietly in the hall and waited.

At this moment, three or four students wearing university uniforms walked into the inn.

These students found an empty table in the lobby of the inn and sat down.

They were sitting around the table, chattering away.

Hou Fangyu looked at these students, his eyes full of envy

The uniforms worn by these students had the name of the university embroidered on them, so Hou Fangyu recognized them at a glance as the uniforms of the university.

"That's great. It would be even better if I could also get into college." Hou Fangyu said with envy.

Hou Fangyu was not far from these college students, and what Hou Fangyu said was also listened to by those college students.

A student turned around, looked at Hou Fangyu, and asked, "Do you also want to get into college?"

When Hou Fangyu saw this person asking this question, he immediately became interested. He said with great interest: "Of course, my biggest purpose in coming here from Henan is to get into college."

After hearing what Hou Fangyu said, the student then asked, "What preparations have you made? It's not the time for the exam. Why are you here so early?"

Hou Fangyu said: "The preparations are not done yet. The reason why I came so early is because I wanted to get ready as soon as possible."

"I see."

The student nodded.

"By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet." Hou Fangyu looked at the student.

The student said: "My surname is Sun Shirui."

This student is Sun Shirui, the son of Sun Chuanting.

This inn is not very far from the university. Today is the university's holiday, so Sun Shirui and several of his classmates went out to hang out.

"It turns out he's a brother." Hou Fangyu cupped his hands at Sun Shirui familiarly and said with a smile on his face.

Sun Shirui said hurriedly: "I am not as old as you, how can I be a brother?"

"As the saying goes, those who are successful come first. If you are the first to enter the university, then I am admitted to the university. Then you are my senior. You are actually my senior, so it is not an exaggeration for me to call you brother.

?" Hou Fangyu said sincerely.

"What you say is really interesting." Sun Shirui looked at Hou Fangyu with a smile on his face. He did not expect that Hou Fangyu would say this, "In this case, since you said so, then I have no choice but to agree. So,

I can't be a brother for nothing. When the time comes, I will find you some of my study notes and test question types from the exams in recent years. With these things, you will have a goal when you review, and you will pass the exam.

The university is also more certain.”

Hou Fangyu's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly said: "In that case, thank you very much."

Sun Shirui shook his head, "Thank you for everything. I have become your brother, so what else should I thank you for? I should help you. After you are admitted to university, we will be classmates, so there is nothing to thank you for."

"Although that's what I said, I still have to thank Brother Sun."

Sun Shirui is a warm-hearted person. He used to receive help from others when he was going to college. So now that he sees others going to college, he also wants to help others.

While the two were talking, Hou Fangyu's food was brought out by the waiter.

Hou Fangyu said to Sun Shirui: "Let's not talk for now. I'm going to eat first. Let's talk after the meal is over."

Sun Shirui nodded and said, "Okay, you can eat first."

Hou Fangyu said, then he picked up his rice bowl and started to eat heartily.

After finishing the meal, Sun Shirui was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he sat in the lobby of the inn and chatted with Hou Fangyu. He said they were chatting, but in fact it was Hou Fangyu who kept asking Sun Shirui about the exam, and Sun Shirui didn't.

Concealed, all the questions that I could answer were explained in detail.

At this time, Zhao Wen was sitting in the imperial study, correcting the memorial that was sent to him.

There were a large number of memorials piled up in front of him, and the number of these memorials was quite large.

Although the existence of two chambers can alleviate a lot of Zhao Wen's burden.

However, there were many memorials that Zhao Wen had to review in person. Zhao Wen picked up a memorial and started reviewing it.

Zhao Wen looked at the contents of the memorial and frowned tightly.

"The yield of wheat is fifteen shi per acre. Isn't this bragging? How is this possible?"

Zhao Wen looked at the contents of the memorial with a gloomy expression.

Fifteen shi, converted into units of later generations, is equivalent to fifteen hundred kilograms.

Even in later generations, the wheat yield per acre will not be so high.

"In this era, there are no fertilizers and pesticides of later generations, and one acre of land only weighs three to four hundred kilograms. How can it be possible that there are fifteen hundred kilograms? I don't believe in the organizational content at all."

The memorial said that in the Kaifeng area of ​​Henan, the winter wheat harvest was very good, reaching a yield of fifteen shi per mu.

"How could there be fifteen stones? This is completely impossible. Is this another auspicious sign? Do these officials really think I am a fool?"

Zhao Wen looked at the contents of the memorial and became angry again for no reason.

Zhao Wen put the memorial in his hand next to him, took a deep breath, and then started to deal with other memorials.

Although Zhao Wen did not believe the contents of the memorial, Zhao Wen could not spend too much time on this memorial.

After all, there are still some remaining memorials that need to be reviewed, so we can only wait until the next day for people from the Ministry of Agriculture to carefully check to see if this is what happened.

Time passed by, and not long after, the sky turned completely dark. Zhao Wen put down the brush in his hand, stood up and moved his body. Zhao Wen had been sitting here for nearly three hours.
Chapter completed!
