Therefore, if the Suzhou City Academy Examination is also scheduled for April and conflicts with the martial arts examination time, then Lin Daguan, who went north to the capital, will no longer be able to take the scholar examination this year.
Lin Tailai said angrily: "In my opinion, this is Fang Tixue deliberately targeting me!"
Liu Tongpan: "."
How big of a face do you Lin Tailai have? How can it be so boring to be an academic officer in a dignified manner that he changed the date of visiting Suzhou City to April just for you?
But considering Lin Daguan's "lethal power", this is not impossible.
I also heard Lin Tailai complaining: "If the college examination was still in February, it would still be in time, but this year it is not February!"
If Mr. Lin wants to go to the capital to take the exam, he must leave by the end of February at the latest. He can leave early, but he must not leave later.
Therefore, according to the practice in previous years, Lin Daguan could take the college examination in Suzhou first, and then go north to the capital without any delay.
But this year's college examination was scheduled in April. How could this not make Mr. Lin angry and suspicious?
After all, when he was in Nanjing, Lin Daguan once fought from Tixue Procuratorate to Changbanqiao, and he also severely offended Guofang Tixue.
Liu Tongpan had no choice but to pretend to sympathize with this. He could only say: "Anyway, you are still young, and you will be better in the next year or two."
Lin Tailai said dissatisfiedly: "The road to fame is to seize the day."
If we don't take advantage of the past few years and quickly complete the primitive accumulation when Shen Shoufu's words are still effective, where will there be a better opportunity to lay the foundation in the future?
It has only been a few years since the start of the Wanli Three Great Expeditions. What if we waste a few more years and fail to catch up with the Wanli Three Great Expeditions?
Liu Tongpan wanted to say, so what if you don't accept it? No matter how good you, Lin Daguan, are, how can you still fight against the system?
How to arrange the exam schedule? That is the power of the academic officer. How can you, Senior Official Lin, force the academic officer to take back his orders?
When people are helpless, how can everything go smoothly? When you should accept reality, accept reality!
Lin Tailai then said to Liu Tongpian: "Please don't worry about this. Please help me inquire with the surrounding prefectures and counties to find out the itinerary of the academic officer next month and find out where he is going."
Liu Tongpan asked in surprise: "What's the use of asking about this?"
Lin Tailai replied: "Although the academic officer will not come to Suzhou City in February, I can go there.
Anyway, the academic officer is patrolling the south of the Yangtze River and shouldn't go too far. As long as there is time, I can take the initiative to find him to take the exam!"
Liu Tong was stunned. He didn't know how Lin Tailai's brain circuit was so long that he could always have whimsical ideas.
If the examiner doesn't come to test you, why don't you block the examiner's door?
I couldn't help but question: "Scholarships all take the exam in one county. Is it okay for you to take the exam across counties like this?"
Lin Tailai explained: “I am not trying to compete with candidates from other counties for places, nor am I taking the exam under false nationality.
As a candidate from Wuxian County, I took the initiative to accept the examination in advance. When the admission results of Wuxian County are announced, I will be added to the list.
Besides, there is no precedent for this matter. For example, Xu Wenchang, the spiritual leader of our Renewal Society, when he was young, he went across counties to get the title of scholar in order to use the back door."
Liu Tongpian couldn't help but marvel. The success of this official Lin was definitely not a fluke.
Then Liu Tongpan asked curiously: "Even if you can see Fang Tixue, what will you do?"
Lin Tailai replied: "Of course I will use my talent worth thousands of dollars to impress Fang Tixue."
Liu Tong understood instantly that it was rumored in the world that Fang Tixue was extremely greedy for money. If he wanted to buy a scholar, he would pay five hundred taels without any counter-offer. Of course, not many people could afford this price.
Lin Daguan had offended Fang Tixue severely before. Wouldn't five hundred taels of silver doubled again be "a talent worth thousands of gold"?
Liu Tongpian said with emotion: "You are so willing."
Lin Daguan said verbally: "Talent comes so quickly, and it doesn't hurt to squander it."
When he walked out of the government office, Lin Tailai quickly said to Zhang Wen, the Zuo protector:
"You don't need to follow me today. Go and inform the leaders of the line to raise two thousand taels of silver for me!
Then prepare the boat and luggage, we will set off in a few days!"
Now he really hopes that Fang Tixue is a corrupt official who recognizes money but not people. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Zhang Wu, the right protector, sighed: "I finally regained my original intention in sitting in the pavilion."
Lin Tailai was confused. What original intention could he return to?
Zhang Wu recalled: "I think back then, when I was sitting in the office and had not yet started my career, wasn't my biggest ambition just to use my money to create a path to fame?
After drinking too much, he made bold words, saying that he would spend hundreds of thousands of taels to buy a No. 1 scholar.
Later, I was keen on studying literature. I thought I would change my mind and use my talents to compete for fame.
Unexpectedly, I still have my original intention and still use my money to pioneer."
I feel like there is nothing left to write about in Suzhou, so Lin Daguan is off to explore a wider world!
