Pearls, corals, ginseng, and snow lotus are indeed rare things. Only a big family like the Chen family can bring out these treasures.

As for Wu Daozi's original work, Guo Hao was a little moved. If Chen Linzhen gave it to him, he would be reluctant to give it to him.

"This is not enough, and it is a bit cliché. It is better to do this, plus the silk from Suzhou, porcelain from Fuliang Town, Longjing in West Lake, and a set of books printed by the book factory."

Chen Lin was speechless when he heard this. What Guo Hao said were all specialties from Jiangnan, so he obviously asked him to buy it. However, Guo Hao rarely made a request, and he had to do it.

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow and go and help you buy it yourself. The things are sent from Jiangnan, and it will take ten days at the earliest."

"Enough, the wedding is in September, and there are still two months left, so you don't have to worry. After the matter is done, I will recommend you to Your Majesty."

"Don't, my family is in Wuyue and my business is in Tang Kingdom. Now I'm here with you. In your words, it's enough for us to make a fortune. With you in front of me, I won't have to show up to avoid causing trouble."

Guo Hao felt it was reasonable after hearing this, but he always felt that he owed Chen Lin. He had no place to live in the past two years, and both Qiunan and Li Fu had been taken care of by Chen Lin.

Moreover, Guo Hao's shares were given to Li Yu, and Chen Lin also helped Guo Hao without any hesitation. Most of the money Guo Hao spent on his usual expenses were actually Chen Lin's. Guo Hao knew it in his heart and never forgot his help.

"Let me do this, I have a way to make glass. The time was not ripe before, so I can leave it to you now."

"Make glazed?"

Chen Lin widened his eyes, a little unbelievable. He had seen many treasures, and Liuli was one of them. Most of them were formed naturally. He had never heard of Liuli being able to be made by hand.

"Actually it's very simple. The ingredient of glass is sand. You just need to burn it with fire..."

Next, Guo Hao told Chen Lin about the method of making glass. Guo Hao didn't say it before, because the world was turbulent and they couldn't protect themselves, so how could they dare to make such an eye-catching thing?

But now it is different. From the beginning of the Later Zhou Dynasty to the end of the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains and Jiangnan areas were basically stable, and hundreds of years were enough for them to develop.

Besides, Guo Hao also made coal, which was suitable for making glass. He was not very clear about the specific method, but as long as there was one direction, Chen Lin could send someone to study it.

"Brother Guo, what you said is true. Can you really burn glass with sand?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you will know it if you ask someone to try it. However, this matter must be kept confidential. Scarcity is precious. Once the method of making glass is leaked, glass may not be valuable."

"I know this. I'll go find someone now and start trying tomorrow. I'll lend me a few brothers from the Beggars' Sect to use."

"You still need to borrow this. From today on, you will be the elder of the Beggars' Sect, who will be in charge of the financial power of the Beggars' Sect, Li Hui!"

"I'm here!"

"Send the order to be passed on, and Chen Lin is appointed as the elder of the Beggars' Sect, and the God of Wealth, and he will be responsible for the financial power of the Beggars' Sect in the future!"

"Get orders!"

Guo Hao waved his hand and directly appointed an elder. Since Chen Lin was unwilling to be an official, let him join the Beggars' Sect, which can be regarded as giving him an identity.

When Chen Lin heard this appointment, he did not be polite to him and saluted directly: "Thank you, the leader!"

Guo Hao smiled and helped him up and said, "You and my brother, why should you be polite?"

From this moment on, Chen Lin was truly Guo Hao's confidant. Before, the two could only be considered friends, but their relationship in the circle of friends was sometimes unreliable.

...

With Chen Lin's help, Guo Hao can concentrate on preparing for Enko's affairs.

The imperial examination is also called the autumn examination. It has been held in August and September since ancient times, and Guo Hao’s wedding is on August 15th, so after the wedding, Enko will begin.

When the two things were together, Guo Hao had to get busy. On that day, he came to Feng Dao Mansion and found that the old teacher was chatting with someone.

"Look, we just talked about Guo Hao, and this kid is here."

Guo Hao saw the expressions of the two of them and smiled at him. He was a little confused. He stepped forward and bowed and said, "Boy Guo Hao, I have met Grand Master Feng and Shangshu Zhang."

The person who chatted with Feng Dao was not someone else, but a rare book collector in the Five Dynasties. Zhang Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was similar in some aspects to Feng Dao. He was a veteran of the Five Dynasties!

"Come on, Lord Guo, please sit down. We just mentioned you. Your Majesty asked you to preside over the Jinshi exam. It's so good to be the best!"

Guo Hao shook his head when he heard this: "The two have been too rewarded, how can the boy be praised by the two adults? I am really flattered."

After Guo Hao finished speaking, Feng Dao looked at Zhang Zhao with a smile. Zhang Zhao shook his head with a wry smile. Guo Hao sat aside, wondering what the two of them were fighting.

"Look, I just said that this kid would definitely not admit it. You know what Your Majesty said: 'This kid has read seven scriptures and even said that he is a little talented and knowledgeable. If he is a little talented and knowledgeable, wouldn't I be worthless'!"

Feng Dao smiled and imitated Guo Wei. Guo Hao's cold sweat came straight down. He felt something was wrong before, but he had never known something was wrong. Now it seems that he has made a big mistake. He seems to be a little too modest!

If you talk about Guo Wei, although he is not illiterate, he has never read much. In fact, he is just literate. He has only read "The Spring and Autumn Annals of the World", and Guo Hao's "Thirty-Six Strategies".

As for other books, they were all read later, but he was so busy that he could concentrate on studying, so Guo Wei's knowledge was actually very average.

Guo Hao is modest in front of him, and from a certain perspective, he can also be regarded as a show of his appearance. If Guo Wei had not been generous, Guo Hao would have been spanked long ago. This is also the reason why the five generations of monarchs do not like literati, and it is too hypocritical.

When they found that Guo Hao's face was pale and red, they both smiled and nodded. It seemed that he had figured it out.

Feng Dao said: "Your Majesty trusts you and asks you to preside over the encore. The imperial edict has been issued. If you are humble, wouldn't you say that Your Majesty is not clear about people?

Those who understand the Five Classics are already young talents. If you read the Seven Classics well, why should you be too humble? How do you let those students live?"

Guo Hao suddenly realized when he heard this, stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your teaching, you have received the teachings."

Master Feng nodded and signaled Guo Hao to sit down. Zhang Zhao said, "Confucius said: If three people walk, there must be my teacher. It is a good thing for you to be humble, but in this position, you don't need to be humble.

We have read all the poems you write, they are rare masterpieces. Each poem can be passed down through the ages. Don’t underestimate yourself.”

When Guo Hao heard this, he was really ashamed. He was not belittled, but was a little embarrassed. It seemed that his face was not thick enough.

"This is my first imperial examination since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Your Majesty attaches great importance to it. Although you and I have asked you to preside over it, you also asked Shangshu Zhang to assist you.

You have never experienced the imperial examination and may not know some things, but it doesn’t matter. You just need to give good exam questions and preside over the discipline. Leave the others to us."

"yes."

Feng Dao is still very interesting. He knows that Guo Hao is not familiar with the business and takes the initiative to take over most of the work. The Jinshi exam questions are actually easy to get, and the difficulty lies in the subsequent comments.

The three of them discussed in the courtyard. Guo Hao returned to the mansion after dinner, and Chen Lin was waiting for him in the study.

"How is it, everything is done?"

"The news should have reached the road. Now the things are on the road. First use the canal to go north, then take the land route and you can get there in half a month."

Guo Hao nodded, picked up a book casually, thinking about what test questions to ask.

Chen Lin saw that he was thinking about things, but he was not in a hurry to leave. It took Guo Hao a long time to look up and see that Chen Lin was still there.

"What's wrong? Just say anything, and be polite to me."

Chen Lin smiled when he heard this: "Gangmaster, there is indeed something to bother you."

"hiss……"

Guo Hao felt goosebumps all over and said angrily: "If you have something to say, don't do this!"

"Then I'm not polite. My son hasn't named him yet. You know, I haven't read a few books, so I thought about asking you to help and give him a name."

“…”

It was named again. Guo Hao felt a headache when he thought about it, but it was unreasonable to not help. He should help both Yu and privately, after all, the relationship between the two is in trouble.

"Name, let me think about where did Tsubasa be born?"

"This... I originally wanted to take Wan's mother over, but something happened. She was born at Jiangning's house."

"Jiangning, Huainan belonged to the State of Chu in ancient times. When Wuer was born in Chu, it would be better to call him Chen Chusheng!"
