The so-called disappointment is often relative. Under the premise of expectation, the result will not be satisfactory, and the feeling of disappointment will surge in your heart.

There were 296 people in the imperial examination, Jian was in the imperial heart, and a fellow townsman with the second-level cabinet. Now there are people in the capital who know that the Xu Mansion may marry Qian Yuan. At least the officials of Songjiang Mansion have an insider. In this case, Qian Yuan's palace examination ranking was still 296, the second to last.

Zhang was a little disappointed about this, and Xu Can was also a little disappointed. The name was a little embarrassed.

There are also people who are indifferent to this, such as Xiaoqi, of course, who are not without the inner pleasure, such as Xu Fan.

"Jiuchi." Xiaoqi teased a few words, and the thrush on the table jumped over and pecked Xiaoqi's palm obediently.

The Xu family emphasizes the province in the morning and evening. Breakfast and dinner are family dinners. At noon, each family manages each family. Xiao Qi eats some lunch here casually, but today is different. His father Xu Fan summoned his children, and a smile that made Xiao Qi look despised in his heart.

I have seen those who are unpromising but who are so unpromising... Xiaoqi said that it is really rare to see them.

I had such awesome father in my previous life. My son could gain certain social status and wealth through many ways, even if he had not graduated from elementary school.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult to climb up without going through the imperial examinations without the right path. Xu Fan did not have the ability and means like Yan Shifan, but he secretly despised Qian Yuan's second-to-last...

"Miss, Miss." Qingwen rushed in excitedly and took out a letter from her arms.

Xiren, who was embroidering his purse, was frightened and a drop of blood beads the size of rice appeared on his fingers, "Isn't you going outside to guard it yet."

Qingwen curled her lips aggrievedly, and Xiren laughed and scolded: "You can't understand..."

"You can't understand either!"

"Okay, okay, we'll all go out."

The two maids went out while quarreling, and Xiren took them to the door. Almost every time the lady was reading the letter, she couldn't help laughing.

After reading the letter for a while, Xiaoqi chuckled and said frankly. Qian Yuan said frankly that it was a blessing that the ranking had not fallen. I don’t know if the examiner was blind during the examination, that is, he could not kick people in the palace examination...

Lu Shusheng once commented on Qian Yuan like this. If he is lucky, he may pass the exam in one fell swoop. If he is unlucky, he will take the exam for four or five times. It will be normal for ten or twenty years.

Qian Yuan said in the letter that he was trying to make some simple distillation equipment. The wine industry in the Ming Dynasty was quite developed. The southeast was generally mostly rice wine, and the north was more sour wine. Some wines were no longer lower than those of later generations of white wine, but the quality was very unstable. Qian Yuan tried to purify it with distillation equipment.

Xiaoqi was confused about this. She used medical alcohol a lot in her previous life, but she was naturally confused about how to produce it. However, she knew very well that if she could purify white wine, it could significantly reduce the loss rate of injured soldiers.

After seeing the last, the smile on Xiaoqi's face gradually disappeared. She looked at it several times over and over again, closed her eyes and thought in her heart for a while, her lips slightly opened, and she said silently: "Of course I trust you."

In the study in Suiyuan, Qian Yuan repeatedly thought about it in his mind. The most critical problem was that he had to be willing to do so, his uncle Kenra's face, and Xiaoqi's trust in him.

In fact, Qian Yuan knew very well that his opponent was definitely not Xu Jie, but Zhang's mother and daughter. He did not dare to overestimate the moral standards of these two women. He could snatch the hat of a talented woman and not revealing the slightest news, which proved their moral standards.

At this time, there were chaotic footsteps outside. Xian Yu was the first to rush in. Chen Younian, who followed closely behind, blurted out, "Zhancai, your palace examination question has spread throughout the capital, what should I do?"

"What should I do?"

"Many people are cursing behind their backs." Chen Younian was a little nervous. "To put it nicely, it's arrogant, but to put it badly, it's hard to predict his ambition."

"Who doesn't know that the court is now ineffective. In December last year, the Dragon turned over at the intersection of Qin and Jin, and there were hundreds of thousands of refugees. The southeast anti-Japanese war was even short of supply." Xu Wei sneered: "If the officers can be changed to silver and traded into color silver, then there will be silver in the court to train new troops, provide relief to disaster victims, and even clearing the canal."

"But this matter..." Chen Younian also understood the truth and whispered: "Do you still remember to test that question?"

"If you use it, you will do it; if you leave it, you will hide it?" Xu Wei said sarcastically: "If everyone thinks like this, then why do we study hard for decades and pass the Jinshi exam?!"

This was the first time that Xu Wei had clearly stood on Qian Yuan's side after entering Beijing. He had ambition to show his ambitions and knew where to start, but he did not expect that Qian Yuan's shot was so early, which was also the reason why he admired Qian Yuan.

Chen Younian was silent for a moment and whispered: "But now it's not the only one... It is said that the Censor of the Censorate and the Ministry of Revenue sent a letter to the Censorate to impeach Governor Hu."

"A sea of ​​gold and silver." Qian Yuan's mouth curled up a curve, full of mockery. This is how the nickname of Hu Zongxian, the Governor of Kingsoft in history books came from.

In the eyes of many people, Hu Zongxian's proposal of the composition method and Qian Yuan's proposal of silver were all the reigns of Yan Song and Yan Shifan's money. Of course, under this idea, it is the fact that those people's own interests will be damaged as a result.

"I am really worthy of being Qian Gangsheng's nephew, a hero admired by Nie Shuangjiang." Tao Dalin, the freshly released Tanhualang, smiled and took two steps forward. "It is said that Qian Zhancai was skating but was loyal and courageous."

"But it takes a lot of people, many years, many many..."

The smile on Tao Dalin's face gradually disappeared, "Zhancai, do you really need to do it?"

"If you do it, you may fail or even be disgraced." Xu Wei said in front: "But if you don't do it, how many years can the imperial court last? When will the Japanese riots in the southeast be quelled?"

Qian Yuan slowly stood up and looked straight at Tao Dalin, "There are many people who want to do this, or they want to do more and more..."

"The road I chose must be extremely bumpy. Maybe I will be scolded as a wrong path, or maybe I will be scolded and flattered by the lucky minister..."

Qian Yuan's eyes swept across everyone's face one by one, and no one avoided his sight, and everyone's face was faintly filled with excitement.

They may not be able to understand, but they all have a sense of solemnity to participate in history.

Qian Yuan did not expect each of them to join in, but at least, at least, at some moments, some of them might suddenly remember what happened in this study today.

Sometimes, history changes only require a little thrust.

Tao Dalin suddenly bowed and bowed a long time, "In the future, if necessary, just say hello."

Seeing Qian Yuan showing a surprised look, Zhu Dashou, the top scholar who had not spoken, explained softly: "Brother Yu Chen died of depression because of this."

Tao Dalin's father Tao Xie was a Zhejiang provincial examination for the Yuan Dynasty during the Hongzhi period. He was a Jinshi on two lists and selected Shujishi. In the tenth year of Jiajing, he piloted the one-whip method in Jiangxi, which was promoted to grain in one province, and was uniformly corvee labor in one province. The corvee labor service was fair. At the same time, the compilation method was adopted, and the labor service was broken into silver.

All the knowledgeable people in the court praised this method, but many of the censors in the court impeached him. In the end, Tao Xie was transferred back to the capital. After a few years, he resigned from his post and returned home. He died in depression. The tried-and-error method died abruptly.

Qian Yuan bowed after a moment of silence. Although there are too many places in this country that he doesn't like, there are undoubtedly some people who live in this land who are willing to contribute their everything to this country.

This is why this ancient oriental country has continued for thousands of years.
