This is where loyalty lies!

At worst, just think that you lose money by opening a store. Besides, what capital can you lose money by opening a restaurant?

Now the land price and rent are cheap. Open a store and try the quality first. At worst, it won’t be closed if it doesn’t work. This will not cost much money.

"Okay! The gourd chickens in our Qin Province have the name of White Pheasant, and they may be able to travel all over the country!"

Seeing that the matter was finalized, Bai Gui smiled with satisfaction.

White-feathered chicken is a famous fast food chicken in later generations. This chicken grows fast and produces high meat. It is a good breed among the good varieties. Although it tastes less chicken, I think there is no feed to feed it now, and it can be sold well across the country with its advantage of fast growth.

Let's talk about it...

Nowadays, there are differences in the taste of the dinner table in the late Qing Dynasty and later generations.

Later generations were better to eat less fat and eat more lean meat. However, at this time, when I asked around, I knew that when I went to cut pork, I would ask the pork guy to cut more fat meat.

The lack of oil and water is serious!

...

Back to the academy.

Hearing the narration of several students, Mr. Zhu's eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy and smiled slightly, "In ancient times, those who wanted to show their virtues to the world should first govern their country. Those who wanted to govern their country should first cultivate their family. Those who wanted to consolidate their family should first cultivate their body. Those who wanted to cultivate their body should first correct their hearts. Those who wanted to correct their hearts should first be sincere in their intentions. Those who wanted to be sincere in their intentions should first obtain their knowledge. Achieve knowledge should be based on the investigation of things."

"You can govern a family and a family, and you can be a good talent for governing the country the next day!"

Mr. Zhu praised it very much.

This sentence comes from the university. If you condense it, it is the three Confucian programs. The eight items in the eight items: investigating things, seeking knowledge, sincerity, uprightness of the heart, cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world.

These eight items are also Confucian epistemology.

It is a very commendable thing in Confucianism to make the clan rich and the neighbors receive their favors.

"Thank you for your praise, sir."

Bai Gui and several classmates bowed and bowed.

What is fame?

Fame is what countless people have contributed to you and brought you up.

If he did this, the gourd chicken made by the Shaoshaoke in Bailu Village will be sold all over the country. Who doesn’t know that he is benevolent and righteous in Bailu Village, and who doesn’t know that he has a benevolent scholar who is protected by auspiciousness in Bailu Village...

Yes, Bai Gui, who has now won the case, already thinks he is a scholar.

It's almost certain to win.

Have this confidence.

"I will write to Jiaxuan later and ask him to handle this matter. I will also ask a few friends to see if there are any chicken husbands nearby, so that they can help you raise these white pheasants..."

Mr. Zhu said with a sigh.

In Bailu Village, Bai Youde, who has a low status, may find it difficult to protect the profits of the white pheasant, but Bai Gui's status is OK. In Zishui County and Qin Province, Bailu Village cannot protect the huge profits of the white pheasant making a gourd chicken, but Mr. Zhu can protect it, and at least some villains will not disturb him.

From the incident of Mr. Zhu's book, we can know how big Mr. Zhu's connections are.

One day after the results were released.

The second county examination began. This examination is called recruitment, also known as first examination.

There were about a thousand Confucian scholars who came to take the exam from various villages and places in Zishui County in the first exam, but after the first exam, the other Confucian scholars who were not included in the circle and those who were not included in the deputy list were swept away, and there were only less than 150 candidates left.

It is extremely terrifying to eliminate six or seven out of ten in one exam.

The remaining candidates will continue to be eliminated, and they will not be able to participate in the government examination until fifty candidates are selected from the final group case (the main list).

Through the examination room gantry, enter the examination room.

After the number of people changed, the seats for the exam began to be adjusted. The court and the yard outside the court were filled with tables, and no other examination rooms were assigned. As the head of the case, Bai Gui sat directly in the middle of the court, with no one on both sides, and was the leader, answering under the nose of the ancient county magistrate.

The first test question is to write poems.

The second test question is about the English and Japanese political systems.

The third test question is the question of the Holy Yu Guangxun and some ink meanings of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Each test question was displayed back and forth by the clerk holding a lantern on each case walkway, while the candidates who took the test copied these three test questions to answer them.

The second exam is not as good as the regular exam, and it is basically memorable questions.

For example, the test poem on the first test question.

The test poem originated in the Tang Dynasty. The most famous one is "Farewell to the Ancient Grass of Fu De Guyuan Grass" written by Bai Juyi. "The grass on the Lili Plain withered and flourished every year. The wildfire cannot be burned, and the spring breeze will grow again."

However, in Wang Anshi's Xining Academic Promotion, that is, during the reform, the test-posting poem was abolished by Wang Anshi, and it was not restored by the Yuan and Ming dynasties. It was not until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty that the test-posting poem was restored.

The Qing Dynasty's test poems were stricter than those of the previous dynasties. The questions were drawn using classics, history, scholastics, and the rhymes produced one character in each rhyme of the flat tone. Therefore, the candidates must be able to recite the characters of the flat tone and rhymes. There should be no heavy words in the poem, and the tone must be solemn.

The title of the poem for this county trial was "The King of Wu was drunk for more than ten miles."

It is a plum blossom poem about plum blossoms by Luo Yin in the Tang Dynasty. However, if you don’t know and have never read this poem about plum blossoms by Luo Yin, you will answer the question. This is also a test point to test whether the candidates are knowledgeable. However, I don’t know how many poems have been written in the past dynasties, and it doesn’t matter if I can’t answer them. As long as the format is correct, examiners generally don’t care too much.

Just like an additional question.

The second question discusses the English and Japanese political systems.

This question is also simple for candidates, just a statement is. The study of English political system was countless after the Two Crows, and after the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the study of Japanese political system was also constantly studied.

It can be said that the most familiar countries in China are England and Japan, and it is not difficult to take these two tests.

Before the exam, some people specialized in selling such political comments in bookshops.

For county test questions, just answer two or three points, it is feasible.

The last question is the sacred edict and the old question. This is a question that scholars in the Qing Dynasty must recite and write in verbal text, and it is not difficult.

The second political theory style, based on the knowledge of later generations, Bai Gui had a much better understanding of the political system of England and Japan than those of late Qing people who had just opened their eyes to see the world, but he was already the head of the case, so there was no need to rush to express it. He answered the political theory sold by books in his memory.

Because once you say too much, you are prone to making mistakes.

The late Qing Dynasty is now hovering in the New Deal period of the late Qing Dynasty. During this period, the Hundred Days Reform failed. A group of old ministers from the Westernization Movement had also begun to reform, but compared to the radicalization of Kang Youwei and others, they were much more conservative.

In just half an hour, all three questions have been written.

He looked carefully at whether there were any typos and taboos, and until after that, Bai Gui stood up and presented the test paper to the magistrate of the Gu County who was sleeping.

"Are you finished answering?"

The magistrate Gu was a little surprised. He remembered that when the first test was held, Bai Gui handed in the paper at the end of the exam. Now he was the first to handed in the paper, which was really beyond his expectations.

Although there are many people in the exam room, he is also a Jinshi, and there is no one who can't remember the extraordinary.

"Please review it by the county emperor!"

Bai Gui bowed respectfully and gave the test paper he was holding forward.

It's time to fight!

You have to fight!
Chapter completed!
