    Throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, men, women, old and young are discussing the Beizhili Township Examination. After all, this is a major event that occurs once every three years.

    "There is no doubt that Liu Jin, who won the first place in the first place, and his two disciples became the focus of everyone's discussion. There are three excellent people in one subject. As a teacher, Liu Jin even won the Xie Yuan, which naturally became a good talk.

    As for the people who were originally prepared to watch Liu Jin's jokes, they all shut up at this time. Being able to win Jieyuan basically means that Liu Jin is a sure winner in next year's examination. Many people have even seen Liu Jin.  After the article, Liu Jin still has great hope to compete for the top spot next spring.

    It¡¯s hard to say whether we can win the top prize. This is the north after all. During the Ming Dynasty, northern scholars were not as good as southern scholars. This is an indisputable fact. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be two rankings in the exam.

    There is no doubt about the strength of the scholars in the south. Jiangxi and Zhejiang are even more famous as the hometowns of those in the imperial examination. In comparison, the strength of the northern scholars is much weaker.

    Because Liu Jin became famous here, Wangyue Tower naturally started to promote understanding of the Yuan Dynasty. Suddenly, Wangyue Tower also became a place where literati and talented people gathered. Everyone wanted to come here to feel happy, but this time they failed, saying  Maybe you'll get it next time.

    Because Xishan Coal Industry was founded by Liu Jin, naturally he would not miss this advertising opportunity. The competition in the briquette business is too fierce now. There are too many large and small briquette workshops. Now it is like a red sea.

    However, Xishan Coal has always occupied a large share of the market because of its good quality, low price and considerate service. Now it has launched a Jieyuan briquette brand under Liu Jin Jieyuanlang's brand name.

    In fact, it is nothing more than engraving the words "Jie Yuan Media" on the briquettes. It is very simple. It is also the first real briquette brand. The effect is undoubtedly very good. Once everyone hears it, they are naturally willing to pay for it.  Buy it and feel the joy of Wenquxing.

    Liu Jin¡¯s house.

    "Mr. Liu, my name is Qiu Ju. I am my lady's maid. My lady has something she wants me to give to you."

    Qiu Ju met Liu Jin very smoothly and handed a bag of red beans to Liu Jin. After speaking, Qiu Ju also looked at Liu Jin, looking forward to Liu Jin's answer.

    Liu Jin took the bag and was a little confused, but when he opened the bag and saw the red beans inside, he immediately understood. Red beans are born in the south. When spring comes, a few branches will appear. I hope you will pick more. This is the most lovesick thing.

    This is something used to express lovesickness, and it is also something that women in ancient times would give to someone they love.

    "Miss Qiu Ju, please ask Miss Wan'er. The scenery in Xiangshan Mountain is very good recently. I wonder if she has time to go hiking together to enjoy the autumn."

    Liu Jin smiled slightly, thought for a while and said to Qiu Ju.

    "I will definitely bring the Master's words to you."

    When Qiu Ju heard this, she immediately left happily. It was obvious that Liu Jin was also interested in his own lady.

    Seeing Qiu Ju leaving, Liu Jin couldn't help but smile and shook his head. He traveled to this era, had a good skin, and with the help of Golden Finger, he didn't have to worry about finding a wife.

    As soon as Qiu Ju left, the steward of Duke Dingguo's Mansion came and sent an invitation to Liu Jinru to discuss the cement factory with Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

    Just as Duke Ding¡¯s housekeeper left, Li Zhen¡¯s maid Xiaocui hurried to Liu Jin¡¯s house, found Liu Jin, and handed the letter written by Li Zhen to Liu Jin.

    Liu Jin opened the letter. Li Zhen's handwriting was very graceful and full of aura. Although the content of the letter was just asking Liu Jin about the provincial examination, since ancient times, this girl took the initiative to write to the boy and expressed what she meant.  Of course, there is no need to say it directly.

    "Sure enough, since ancient times, handsome people are easier to mix with."

    This made Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. A person with a good skin has great advantages, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, in the workplace or in marriage.

    In ancient times, the selection of the number one scholar was very particular. In addition to talent, appearance was also very important. No matter how talented an ugly person was, it was impossible for him to be selected as the number one scholar by the emperor. The number one scholar had to lead the new scholars in parades.  , can be regarded as representing the world's scholars, so naturally his appearance cannot be too ugly.

    "Mr. Liu, my lady is still waiting for your reply."

    Seeing that Liu Jin was in a daze after reading the letter, Xiaocui thought about it and reminded him.

    "Oh, please wait a moment~"

    Liu Jin came back to his senses. He was indeed in a daze just now. Otherwise, Xu Waner and Li Zhen seemed to be talking to each other at the same time.He was so interesting that Liu Jin didn't know how to deal with it.

    Liu Jin, who came from a later generation, was really inexperienced in this area, so he didn¡¯t know how to deal with it.

    As for Xu Waner and Li Zhen, they only met once at Dingguo Duke's Mansion. The impression left on Liu Jin was that they were both beautiful, gentle and pleasant. It would be a good idea for them to be his wives, but after all, they were in contact with each other.  There are not many, and relatively little is known about it, which makes it difficult to choose.

    Liu Jin, who was hesitant and procrastinating, had no choice but to write a letter for Xiao Cui to take back. The content of the letter was also very simple. He could only write about his feelings during the provincial examination.

    After receiving Liu Jin¡¯s reply, Xiaocui left happily and happily returned to her young lady.

    "Brother Jin, you are so lucky~"

    After Xiaocui left, Zhao Erhu, who had been following Liu Jin, said with a smile.

    "Ahem~ Are you attracted to this Xiao Cui, or are you attracted to that Qiu Ju?"

    Liu Jin¡¯s face turned red and he coughed and asked.

    Zhao Erhu is also very discerning now. When he went home for the New Year, Zhao Heishan introduced him to the county butcher's daughter and refused to marry him. Liu Jin was also a man who had seen the world.

    Hearing Liu Jin¡¯s words, Zhao Erhu¡¯s face immediately turned red, and even a seven-foot tall man felt embarrassed.

    "Haha~ It seems that you really like that one, tell me quickly~"

    When he saw Zhao Erhu¡¯s appearance, Liu Jin couldn¡¯t help laughing happily and asked in a gossipy manner.

    "Old Liu, why are you so happy about something?"

    But at this moment, Zhu Houzhao also walked in, and Liu Jin's laughter was heard from a distance.

    Zhu Houzhao is now a frequent visitor to Liu Jin's house, and he never likes to be informed when he comes to Liu Jin's house. Every time he comes to Liu Jin's house, he goes directly to Liu Jin, no matter whether Liu Jin is fast asleep or not.  doing what.

    "Um, it's nothing~"

    Liu Jin smiled awkwardly and said, Zhu Houzhao cannot know about this, otherwise with his character, he would probably gossip and gossip with Liu Jin.

    "I heard that you came back with a Jie Yuan from the Provincial Examination. Do you want to treat me to a meal to celebrate?"

    Zhu Houzhao didn't notice the embarrassment on Liu Jin's face and said with a smile.

    "Please, of course you have to, I will keep it for you to enjoy, Your Highness."

    Liu Jin quickly said with a smile.

    "That's about the same. You don't know. The food in this palace is so unpalatable that I want to kill all the cooks. The same dishes don't taste as good as those cooked in your house."  of."

    "I have lost a lot of weight in the past half month in order not to disturb you during the exam, and I have to make up for it."

    Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but complain to Liu Jin. After complaining about the food in the palace, he started talking about business.

    "My father has basically agreed to us opening a salt farm, but we still need to get the approval of the ministers in the court. I guess you will be asked to come then. I can't speak to those people, and they will definitely accuse me.  Competing with the people for profit or something like that.¡±

    "Hmph, I don't believe what they say. They all sound high-sounding and know what benevolence, righteousness and morality are. If this benevolence, righteousness and morality can bring order to the family, govern the country and bring peace to the world, then there won't be so many suffering people in this world."

    When he said this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but snorted. The longer he was in contact with Liu Jin, the greater the impact he received. Now he is very disgusted with those who talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but he is very disgusted with people like Liu Jin.  People who talk about actual benefits and money are more friendly.

    Of course Liu Jin knows that he is in the rebellious period of adolescence and is beginning to have his own ideas and opinions and is easily influenced by others. However, teenagers in this period are also the most malleable stage.

    A person's lifelong values ????and outlook on life are basically formed during this period. This is why Liu Jin often hangs out with Liu Jin, because Liu Jin wants to instill his own set of ideas from later generations into him, so that  He got rid of his old ideas and concepts.

    "It is almost impossible to get the ministers of the DPRK and China to agree to us setting up a salt farm, because there are too many, too many people who are related to salt merchants, large and small. If we set up a salt farm, it will affect the interests of the salt merchants.  , they will definitely try their best to get it right.¡±

    "But it's not that we don't have opportunities. The breakthrough is that we pay two million taels of silver in taxes to the imperial court every year. The national treasury has been empty for a long time. If we can increase the income of two million taels of silver every year, I think there will still be opportunities in the imperial court.  Many ministers support it.¡±

    When talking about this matter, Liu Jin thought about it and said.

    The difficulty in running a salt farm no longer lies with Emperor Hongzhi, but rather with the court. Salt is related to the fundamental interests of salt merchants. Once their interests are touched, huge waves will inevitably be set off again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)After thinking about it, he said.
