Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Doctor Hou’s concubine a bit poisonous!Sun Zhuangyuan was teamed up by Zhou Shi'an Sanyuan Gong. He learned from the pain and decisively increased the difficulty of the entrance examination of Zhixing Academy.

At the end of the month, one after another entrance exams.

When the candidates walked into the building of Zhixing Academy and got the test papers, more than 90% of the candidates were confused.

It is said that Zhixing College is the easiest entrance exam, and the exam questions are very gentle...

There's no such thing as gentleness, so brutal as a monster.

MMP, the question is so difficult, how to test it.

It's over, it's over.

People who haven't even finished a book of exercises can't take this exam!

This time is really over.

More than 90% of the candidates showed a desperate expression.

Sun Zhuangyuan patrolled the examination room with his hands behind his back.

Seeing the candidates showing the expressions of dead parents, his face showed a satisfied smile.

good, very good.

The difficulty increased slightly, and this group of candidates immediately became clear.

Humph!

Treating Zhixing Academy as a second-rate academy, without preparing for the exam, the old man will let you know what is good or bad.

After passing the difficult entrance examination, all the candidates who had fished in troubled waters were swept away. They did not believe that Zhou Shian and Sanyuangong dared to dislike the poor level of the students at Zhixing Academy.

The exam that lasted one day is over.

When the candidates walked out of the examination room, they were all wailing.

"This exam is too difficult!"

"It is said that the entrance examination of Zhixing Academy is the easiest, but how does it feel that it is more difficult than the entrance examination of Shanhe Academy."

"It's really harder than the entrance examination of Shanhe Academy of the previous two days."

"Xiongtai took the entrance examination of Shanhe Academy? How do you feel?"

"not feeling good!"

"Then today's exam..."

"I'm afraid I will have to prepare for another month and come to the exam next month."

"Encourage! I don't know where Xiongtai lives?"

"Living in Xinmin County."

Rich people!

The rent in Xinmin County is several times that of Zhixing Academy.

"I can't compare to Xiongtai in Xia, so I live near Zhixing Academy. If Xiongtai doesn't dislike it, we will find a pub to drink."

"It's better to let me go to Xinmin County, I will invite three or five friends again, everyone will get to know each other."

"Okay!"

The two rushed to the station, bought tickets, and went to Xinmin County in a double-track carriage.

Xinmin County is better!

It's getting dark, the market is still full of people, and it is like a city that never sleeps.

"There is no curfew in Xinmin County. You can have fun all night. You don't have to take an exam tomorrow, so you must not get drunk or return tonight."

"Xiongtai makes sense."

Seven or eight scholars rushed into the restaurant, ordering food with pride.

After chatting, I talked about today's exam.

"Zhixing Academy is still trying to compare it with Shanhe Academy. The exam questions are so difficult, let's see who will apply for Zhixing Academy in the future."

"For such a difficult test, it is better to study at Shanhe Academy than at Zhixing Academy. At any rate, Shanhe Academy has become famous and well-known in the world."

"This statement makes sense."

"It's time for the people who give questions at Zhixing Academy to listen to the voice of Guangda University. No one will register for Zhixing Academy for such difficult exam questions."

"This is too absolute! For some people, Zhixing Academy is also a good choice."

"Xiongtai's statement is fallacious! If Zhixing Academy will have this difficulty in the future, if you can pass it, you will definitely be admitted to Shanhe Academy. Since you can study at Shanhe Academy, why bother to Zhixing Academy."

"Shanhe Academy is very competitive, and it is extremely difficult to get scholarships. Zhixing Academy has a small competition. It should be easy to get scholarships if you can enter the level of Shanhe Academy to study at Zhixing Academy. Monthly awards, annual awards, subject awards, imperial examination awards, etc. Adding up, it is also an objective income. If Zhixing College can persist in the difficulty of the current entrance exams and improve the reputation and level of the college, many people will be tempted to come for scholarships."

what!

This angle is novel.

"Xiongtai makes sense."

"Ah, Zhixing Academy is so difficult to take exams. I think it's better to give up the imperial examination and go home to farm. Anyway, if you don't take the imperial examination, you will have to pay taxes. It's boring to study."

"That's not true! With fame, you can own more land and buy servants."

"What's the use of that little land."

"The new land law promulgated by the imperial court is really going to be forced to death. The imperial court officials did not say a word, it is really incompetent and persuasive!"

"I think the new land laws are very good! Since the first day of August, the annual tax has been reduced by more than two-thirds. In a year, my family can save thousands of catties of grain, enough to eat until the summer harvest."

One of the students in plain clothes whispered.

Everyone looked at him together.

He said weakly: "My family is a self-cultivating farmer, with 20 to 30 mu of paddy fields and a hillside field. Taxes are collected every fall, which makes me very distressed. Ten taxes are one, and I support it with both hands. Even if I get a fame in the future, I will still agree with one tax for ten. Everyone pays taxes. During the war, the court does not need to increase taxes, and it will be allocated to the people like me."

"This Xiongtai, listen to your accent, you are not from the north?"

"I am from the Southwest."

"I heard that you are fighting over there?"

"The fight was over long ago. Yang Xianggong's army had already hit outside the border and occupied dozens of cities. Many peasants on our side, dozens of people, and hundreds of people formed a caravan to deliver goods and sell goods to the border. It’s a good business for soldiers. I recently wrote from my family that the Sihai Road Bridge is building a road on our side. It is said that a concrete road leading to the outside world will be built. It is said that it will be repaired all the way to the sea. , Good food."

"Oh! Do you really think scholars should pay taxes?"

"Shouldn't it be?"

"Of course it shouldn't. For thousands of years, after scholars have obtained fame, when did they pay taxes? Are you stupid?"

"But the court officials did not object. We are just students who have not yet obtained fame. No matter how we object, we will only be a man."

"Tsk tusk! Forget it, forget it, we are not the same."

"I didn't expect that someone would approve of the imperial court scholars to collect taxes."

After talking about this, Southwest came to the student, and knew that he was disgusting, so he took the initiative to get up and leave.

He had to walk alone in the street.

The streets are densely populated, and everyone’s faces are filled with yearning for a better life.More and more set off his loneliness.

"Xiongtai wait a minute."

The student turned his head and looked at the rich boy running towards him.

"Xiongtai called me?"

"Exactly! I don't know how Xiongtai is called?"

"My name is Ma!"

"It turned out to be Brother Ma, my surname is Hu, Hu Tianyou. Just now I heard Brother Ma in the restaurant talk about building concrete roads in the southwest and going to the seaside?"

"Exactly!"

"That's a long way to build!" Hu Tianyou sighed again and again.

Xuezi Ma thought for a while, and said, "If you don't talk about it, it's thousands of miles away. If you take a detour, you can reach thousands of miles."

When Hu Tianyou heard it, his heart trembled.

He took the shoulder of the student horse, "Walk around, let's find another place to have a drink. The concrete road of thousands of miles, this is a big deal! The imperial court spends so much money to repair this road, and he must not be left unused. That said, there must be a big movement in the southwest. Brother Ma is a local, so you might as well talk to me in detail."

Hu Tianyou, a wealthy son, took money and a small servant with him because of a copy of "Mr. Yang Speaking of Jiangling", and he rushed to Jiangling Mansion in the first batch.

Unexpectedly, he was asked to find a business opportunity and made a lot of money in the name of boss Hu in Jiangling Mansion.

Of course, his status in the family is also rising.

Realizing the pleasure of making money and the change in status brought about by making money, Hu Tianyou has become more determined to do business.

Jiangling's business has reached saturation, there is no need to stay there.He handed Jiangling's business to the steward, and took the young man back to the capital to look for opportunities.

He has been thinking about the new laws of the land that has been raging recently, but he hasn't figured it out.

Shaofu, he wanted to get involved, but he didn't have such a relationship.

Overseas, many people have mentioned it recently.He has been hesitating and can't make up his mind.

Today, I was inviting people to dinner in a restaurant, and accidentally heard the students sitting next door talk loudly, and he was dismissive of it.

It wasn't until Ma Xuezi mentioned all kinds of Southwestern things that he finally moved his mind.

After a meal of wine, Hu Tianyou took out all the goods in Xuezi Ma's stomach.

Two days later, Hu Tianyou confessed that he had a good family, took the money and the servant, and drove all the way to the southwest to make a fortune.

...

Balipu toll station.

After years of hard work and many rotations, Li Dashan finally got into the position of the toll station master.

The treatment has improved greatly, and his wife and children have also followed suit.

His wife works at the rest station, and his son has also taken the exam as a toll collector. He is currently working as a errand at a toll station 200 miles away from Balipu.

Early in the morning, Li Xiaoshan came to the Balipu toll booth to ask Li Dashan for help.

"Brother, that ten tax one, I want to hear your thoughts."

Li Dashan looked at the top of the mountain in the distance. The weather is good today, and he can see far away.

He patted Li Xiaoshan on the shoulder, "Come in and talk. What are you planning?"

"Well, a few days ago, the folks from Sihai Meat and Vegetables went to the village to collect mountain products and talked about ten taxes and one tax. Brother, are they true?"

"Of course it is true. Didn't I ask someone to bring you a letter?"

"I thought I was coaxing us."

"Coax you to be big! I can coax you on such a big thing, do you have a pig's feet on your brain? The black and white words in the newspaper, you read it for yourself."

Li Dashan took the newspaper from the previous day in front of him, "Look carefully, have I coaxed you."

Li Xiaoshan smiled awkwardly and honestly, "Brother, you know I can't read."

"You stupid! You always know the ten tax one. Here, look at it clearly, the ten tax one is clearly written on it."

"Really!" Li Xiaoshan looked shocked.

"Such a big thing can be fake. It's been implemented on the first day of August, and it's not a few days away. Remember, if the government dares to go to the village to collect taxes before the first day of August, you can ignore them. From the first day of August, Ten taxes are one. The government collects less taxes."

"What kind of government is Shaofu?"

Li Xiaoshan has never been far away, the farthest place he has been to is the county seat, followed by Balipu.

He is illiterate, and he is not so curious about the outside world.Satisfied with the life of facing the loess and the back of the sky, the sun rises and the day rests.

Shaofu is strange and scary to him.

Li Dashan hummed twice, very iron and steel.

At the beginning, he also wanted to pull out the brothers in the clan. Once the toll booth was recruited, he asked the brothers in the clan to sign up for training.

As a result, two of them were as stupid as pigs, and they were brushed off in the first round.

In terms of stewardship, his talent is dull, and he really can’t help him.

Li Dashan had no choice but to say that it was all fate.

He bit his head, read and literate, and had the hardest pain of his life, and was admitted to the toll collector.

However, the brothers in the clan have neither talent nor perseverance.

After urging for a few times, the client was not interested, so he gave up.

Li Dashan told him, "The Shaofu is the emperor's steward. You should always know Shaofu Bank, that is Shaofu's property."

Speaking of Shaofu Bank, Li Xiaoshan understood it all at once.

"So it's true that ten taxes are one?"

"I said so much before I dared to love you, but you didn't hear a word."

Li Dashan looked heartbroken.No wonder the steward would say that Li Xiaoshan was dull.This is more than a fool, this is a fool.

Li Xiaoshan smiled honestly, "Brother, you also know that in order to avoid taxation and servitude, I dedicated only a few acres of land to Zhang Juren's family. Can you help me get it back? Ten tax, I will be myself He doesn’t rely on Zhang Juren for paying taxes. For Zhang Juren, it’s less than 40% to 50% of the grain every year, which is more ruthless than the government."

Li Dashan hehe sneered, "I told you not to make a contribution at the beginning, and you didn't listen. Now I have come to ask me for help again. I knew why it was so!"

"I, I, I will listen to you from now on. Brother, you can help me. If you don't help me, I can't get those fields back."

"You are a pig. You are wrong, pigs are smarter than you. Seeing that the autumn harvest is about to come, the other party will not easily agree to bring the field back at this time. You are ready to bleed."

"Brother promised to help me? Thank you brother! As long as I can get Tian back, I am willing to pay more blood."
