Chapter 376 Borrowing the Hand of Tsuruji
When Gu Zhao asked Bei'an scholar, he had been carefully observing his expression and movements.
Although the Bei'an scholar opposite had a complicated expression and his attitude towards Gu Zhao, a "Donghao native", was slightly cold, his eyes flickered when he talked about exams and government positions, and he was obviously moved.
There are so many scholars in Bei'an, but only two to three hundred people are admitted in the triennial imperial examination. A considerable part of them are taken away by the powerful and powerful, and some are occupied by those scholarly families that have been handed down for hundreds of years, leaving the truly poor families.
The number of scholars is really very few.
Scholars who fail every year will inevitably be moved when they encounter such an opportunity.
The time given by Zhongshuai Mansion this time is relatively short, and it is targeted at scholars who are currently studying in Douchuan Guanzhong. There may not be many places for admission.
But just like buying horse bones for a thousand dollars, as long as the Bei'an scholars admitted this time can occupy a certain position in the Douchuan Pass government and receive fair and generous treatment, then next time, when the Zhongshuai Palace announces in advance, a few months,
A year later, when a larger examination is held again, more Bei'an scholars will definitely come after hearing the news.
This is the real purpose of this exam!
With the help of these scholars who truly understand Bei'an, Donghao will have more advantages in managing the people, inciting public opinion, grasping public opinion, attacking south, and persuading surrender.
Gu Zhao squeezed the book in his hand tightly, and secretly decided in his heart that he must find a way to sabotage this exam! Don't let Donghao's side dare to do anything like this again!
Otherwise, if this continues, it will cause endless harm!
Holding a few books, Gu Zhao returned to the small courtyard he had just rented.
When passing by the entrance of Yang Man's courtyard, Yang Man happened to be sending someone out. When he saw Gu Zhao, he quickly greeted him, "Master He, you are back."
Gu Zhao took a look at the person Yang Man sent out. He was a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary. He was wearing silk clothes and looked like a wealthy owner.
When he saw Gu Zhao's dress, he quickly gave Gu Zhao a smile, and then said to Yang Man, "My young master will arrive in the next two days tomorrow, please hurry up and make arrangements! Remember, my young master has a distinguished status, you
Choose more people with nimble hands and feet and delicate temperament, you know?"
Yang Man nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Zhou, it's not the first time we've dealt with each other. I, Old Yang, definitely don't have anything to say about what I do!"
Shopkeeper Zhou was probably worried that Gu Zhao was around, so he left in a hurry without saying anything else.
Yang Man looked at Gu Zhao's back and quickly turned around to call his eldest girl, "Go quickly, Mr. He is back. Go and see what you can do."
The eldest girl of the Yang family cleaned up and knocked on Gu Zhao's courtyard door. What she saw was the side profile of a noble gentleman sitting under a tree, holding a book and looking thoughtful.
She couldn't help but slow down her steps, fearing to break this beautiful scene.
What Gu Zhao was thinking about was not good things, but conspiracy and killing.
If you want to sabotage this exam in Commander Zhong's Mansion and crush the plans of the Donghao people, the best way is to let all the Bei'an people who come to take this exam understand that the Donghao people don't really want to recruit them at all, but are trying to recruit them in this way.
This is bait, kill them all!
Why did they want to kill them? Of course it was because the Donghao people felt that Bei'an officials were promoted from among the scholars. Killing all the scholars would leave Bei'an without talents.
This reason sounds a bit incomprehensible, but in the eyes of the Bei'an people, the Donghao people are originally savage and ignorant pigs and dogs. They just did this. Who can argue?
Thinking of this, Gu Zhao raised his head and looked at the eldest girl of the Yang family who was busy in the kitchen.
Perhaps, this plan also needs the help of Konkakuji...
The eldest girl of the Yang family finished all the work she could do, boiled water for Gu Zhao, and brewed the best tea from her home. She couldn't find anything to do, so she had to say goodbye to Gu Zhao.
"Sir, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Gu Zhao raised his eyes and smiled at her, "No, you can go back."
"Well, tell your father that I have obtained the position of enlightenment teacher in Yun Cong's family. Thanks to him for giving me valuable information, I will invite him to drink tonight to see if he is free."
The eldest girl looked at Gu Zhao in surprise, "Young Master found something to do? This is great!"
She returned home and told Yang Many, who also clicked his tongue in surprise, "This little barbarian Donghao is quite capable, but I heard that they drove away a dozen people who came to apply for the job."
I didn’t expect that he would be selected as soon as he went there today.”
"Is it possible that Na Yun chooses teachers from his family not based on knowledge, but based on appearance?"
Talking behind the scenes was talking behind the back, and Yang Man would not miss the opportunity to make friends with Donghao people who had access to Jiyu's house in Yuncong.
When it was time for dinner, he personally carried two jugs of wine and meat to Gu Zhao's small courtyard.
Gu Zhao had already asked the eldest girl of the Yang family in advance to order food and drinks from a nearby tavern. Because he ordered several big dishes, the owner of the tavern personally brought the food box to Gu Zhao's residence.
"Come, Yang Jun, please take a seat." Gu Zhao's words sounded enthusiastic, but the expression on his face was still reserved. It seemed that he didn't pay much attention to Beian people like Yang Man, just because he was polite.
That's why you are so polite.
Yang Man cursed in his heart, but put on a flattering smile on his face, "Young Master He is too polite. I am so lucky to be able to drink with you."
He handed the meat to his wife and daughter, who took the initiative to help, and asked them to go to the kitchen to cook two more dishes. He put the wine in his hand on the table and said ostentatiously, "Master, I am coming to Beijing from the capital of Bei'an."
The good wine I bought is fifty-year-old pear blossom white! It is said to be a tribute wine from the palace. It has a mellow taste and cannot be bought even if you have money!"
Gu Zhao picked up the wine bottle and took a look at it, smiling secretly in his heart.
Pear Blossom White is Pear Blossom White. This kind of wine has a light red label and is only ten years old. It is also a good wine, but it is still far from being a palace tribute wine.
Yang Man was bullying her, a "Donghao person", because she didn't know how to do it.
She didn't expose it, but looked happy. She opened the lid of the wine bottle and took a deep breath of the wine, pretending to be intoxicated. "Ah, the wine is really good. Mr. Yang is so generous."
