"Yes, I want to take the exam, but I heard that new terms have been added. People with experience in compradors of foreign companies can be given priority to entering the court?" the man asked.

"Yes, are you a comprador? You're not a scholar?"

"I'm not a scholar. I worked in a French business for a few years. Didn't the opium collapse? I lost a lot and wanted to transfer to the court to become an official." The man was very talkative.

When this person comes, he suddenly feels outspoken among young candidates, because most of the candidates start studying and preparing to take the Qing Dynasty imperial examination when they are young. The so-called "studying" in the Qing Dynasty (the imperial examination) and practicing martial arts in wealth (the martial arts examination). It doesn't matter if his father has power and power. Most candidates cannot compare with such compradors in terms of financial resources or experience in the martial arts world.

"Oh," the kind believer in the corner sighed and said to himself: "The merchants rushed over and competed with us."

"Can businessmen become officials? Donate officials?" Zuo Zongtang also pricked up his ears and listened to the comprador talking to the candidates. "Have you read books? The Four Books and Five Classics?" Fang Bingsheng felt angry when he saw this kind of dress, and he was so angry that he could get up.

"No, you can learn literacy, abacus, and literacy by yourself. You were all 15 years old and then you got into a foreign business. Hehe." The comprador said without shame.

Fan Xijue admired such successful business people very much, and ignored Fang Bingsheng. He just asked the comprador: "Can you pass us in the exam? We have been reviewing for a long time, and Haiguo Tu Zhi is memorizing it."

The comprador smiled and said, "What's the matter? Didn't you read the newspaper? Last month, it was said that 15 full marks for the imperial examination were written in the imperial examination! You all began to compare who had a beautiful font. The emperor was unhappy and said, "Practicing handwriting is a waste of youth and ability is the first. I guessed that the emperor would change to the imperial examination again. As expected, it was clear to read this notice that having business experience is the priority and the record is the priority. The court needs compradors like us as officials."

"What do you know? Our 5,000-year history of China is Confucianism. You businessmen make money, how can you be an official? Do you want to open the court as a company?" Fang Bingsheng was furious.

The comprador sneered and said, "Actually, Confucianism is good, but it's a bit strange. You all have been studying for ten or twenty years. They haven't even taken care of a hen. They just ask you to take care of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people at once. Can you do it? It's like you are very good at cooking and then you get a job as a tailor. I absolutely support Your Majesty, so you should find some experienced people who are just talking about the country. Besides, you are young and you will get the imperial examination results. If you are excellent, you can go to a foreign company. As far as I know, Jardine has already negotiated with Your Majesty. I have left 20 positions for you and practice English well."

Fan Xijue coughed and said, "I see you are in a carriage and have two servants. You should not be short of money. How much does it make as an official as a comprador? Don't you know the edict of Your Majesty's guilt? If you are greedy, you will kill people!"

"Haha. You guys are so young that you can't see your majesty's intention." The comprador sneered.

"What do you mean, tell me." Hearing that it was related to this court trend, a group of candidates were excited and surrounded the comprador. Zuo Zongtang also came over to listen angrily and had to go over.

The comprador smiled and said, "Didn't you pay attention? Our country is called Song, and there is no murder in the major case of the Manufacturing Bureau! What signal is this? From that day on, the editorials of the Prime Minister of the Huanzhuguo all began to change the examples of the Song Dynasty. Instead of always comparing the Ming Dynasty like before. In the history of the Song Dynasty, I didn't like to kill ministers, and you scholars should know better than me. Moreover, there is a biggest difference between the Song and Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty officials had low wages, and the county magistrate Hai Rui was not greedy, and his daughter was starved to death. The Song Dynasty officials were extremely rich and were all rich. I didn't mean corruption, but I mean high wages. I feel that now I have food in Jiangxi, so I get it.

When I went to Guangxi, there were soldiers, and soon the salaries of officials were raised. Because we were Song. I thought about it and knew that a county magistrate managed more than 100,000 people. What an important responsibility. Even if you manage 20 small workers in a handicraft workshop, your boss would not starve his daughter to death. The emperor is a business genius. I understand it very much. He must understand it even more. We are all guilty and there are no saints. Being an official here is definitely a good thing. And after being a few years, you can go back to the business world, and it will definitely be understood in the future. Moreover, the imperial edict always ranks merchants and farmers, and the status of merchants is improving, much higher than that of the Qing Dynasty."

The candidates looked at each other and sweated all over again. Fan Xijue dressed the most and sweated the most. He took out a wrinkled yellow handkerchief and wiped his forehead with a stream like a stream, and asked, "I have never done business or become a comprador. Wouldn't I not be able to pass the exam?"

"Why did the emperor say that the imperial examination results can be a certificate? It is convenient for you to find a job in the business world. If you get a high exam, you will be smart." The comprador smiled and said, "The emperor has thought about everything for you."

"Businessmen can also become officials! And they are not donating officials!" Zuo Zongtang gritted his teeth - this is completely to improve the class of merchants. Confucianism has always despised merchants, because you are full of profit, how can you become a saint?

The so-called saints have to say it nicely and deceive everyone, and they will count the money when they go home!

Isn’t it nonsense for a businessman to say that he doesn’t love money? So the businessman cannot be hypocritical and cannot speak well on his lips. Isn’t that just a villain who loves money?

"I understand. Zhao Ziwei just wants to kill Confucianism, let scholars do business, and let businessmen become officials! Black and white are reversed!" Zuo Zongtang thought fiercely.

At this moment, a child ran in with a stack of newspapers and shouted: "Look, the newly released "Qingliu Jiwen Newspaper" and "Absurd Smiling Records" Chapter 45 is coming out! Mr. Qiongji masterpiece! Qiongji Tower will start speaking today! 20 texts! 20 texts!"

"Wow, "Absurd Laughter" is here!" A group of scholars immediately surrounded the child and bought newspapers.

"What is this?" Zuo Zongtang wanted to pat the believer next to him on the arm, but he was disgusted, so he had to stretch his head to ask.

"This is a storytelling series, and the newspaper is published first, and the teahouse is also about to start the lecture. It is very well written. Mr. Qiongji wrote well." The believer smiled.
