Chapter 2129 Twins and Jieyuan [2]

Before this was over, Gu Dalin said excitedly: "In addition to Brother An, who passed the examination for the Yuan Dynasty, Brother Xing, Kang Ming, the eldest son of the Xu family, the young master of the Qu family, and Yao Xiaozi from Yujiang County have all passed the examination."

After hearing this, Lin Houde and his son were all shocked. It was incredible. So many people had been selected for the exam. It was really... Gu Dashan and the others were right to flee to the south. The south was good at raising people. Not only did Gu Dashan and the others get rich, they also

Raise so many famous people.

And the second girl of the Gu family... Lin Houde looked at her and was a little afraid to recognize that such a beautiful little lady turned out to be the fierce farm girl back then.

Gu Jinli was also surprised and sighed: "It's amazing. In just two years, Brother Dexing and Master Xu have improved so much in their knowledge."

It's not that she looked down on Gu Dexing and Xu Zhaoming, but when they were admitted to the scholar examination, their rankings were not very good. If they want to be admitted to the examination, they must be diligent.

"And Yao Fuqian is also very powerful." Gu Jinli asked about Lu Bai again: "Did he pass the exam?"

Back then, Lu Bai failed the examination and cried miserably. Fortunately, he found a job writing books and earned some money, so he had the courage to return to his hometown to see his family. Otherwise, Lu Bai would have killed himself because of his frailty.

Gu Dalin smiled and said: "His family was very happy after passing the exam. However, Lu Bai doesn't care much about the imperial examination now. He is writing a lot about fighting against the bandits. Ke Yuli writes a lot every month.

Everyone would tell stories about the resistance against the Japanese invaders written by him in restaurants. Ke Yuli was a great person. He told sad stories that stirred people's hearts. Not only young men, but even women liked to listen to them. These stories were very popular in the south.

If it doesn't work, people from the south of the Yangtze River will come over and buy the stories written by Lu Bai, and Lu Bai will make a lot of money."

However, Lu Bai divided the money into three parts. One part was donated to the soldiers, one part was left to his family, and the other part he saved, saying, "Come to the northwest to fight against the enemy."

Gu Jinli was shocked: "What, Lu Bai is coming to the northwest to fight against the enemy? Has he changed his soul or gone crazy?"

Lu Bai, a squeamish pretty boy who would cry even if his nails were knocked off, actually said that he wanted to fight against the enemy. No matter how he heard it, he felt horrified.

Gu Dalin nodded: "Well, that guy said that just by reading the letters you sent back, he couldn't describe the heroics of the War of Resistance against the Japanese. He wanted to come over and see for himself."

Gu Jinli said: "It's better to say goodbye. He doesn't know how to fist and kick, and the family can live a better life relying on him. If he comes over, not only his life will be lost, but also the family's livelihood will be cut off."

It's not that she looked down on Lu Bai, but that Lu Bai could only write stories. If he wanted to come to the northwest to fight against the enemy, he might as well forget it. He would probably get sick and die on the way just a few months' journey from the south to the northwest.

She looked at Qin Sanlang: "When writing a letter to elder brother, by the way, let Lu Bai do what he can, and don't be blindly confident and come here to seek death... He is writing stories in the south to let people in the south know the achievements of the soldiers who resisted the army.

It’s also very good.”

There's really no need to come here to seek death, man.

Qin Sanlang looked at her, smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Gu Dalin then told them about other people who had passed the exam: "Jin Sheng finally passed the exam, and his cousin He Yinsheng also passed the exam. But the village chief He was so happy that he held a flowing banquet all day to invite the villagers.

We ate tofu, egg and steamed noodles."

Now that food is in short supply, village chief He is willing to ask the villagers to eat these things.

"Village Chief He finally got his wish." Gu Jinli was very happy when he heard that many of his acquaintances had passed the exam, but he asked, "Is the number of people admitted to this year's scientific examination much higher than in previous years?"

Gu Dalin nodded: "It's too much, especially for the provincial examination. It's twice as much as the last time. I heard that the general examination will also be twice as much... The war in the northwest, the banditry in Zhongzhou, many officials died, it's much more

Obtain useful scholars and send them to various places to serve as officials."

He heard these words from Mr. Qi.

The recruitment of more scholars in this session was an imperial order issued by Emperor Jingyuan himself... There was a shortage of officials in various places, and all the noble families and high-ranking officials recommended their own children to serve as officials.

Emperor Jingyuan knew what they were planning and was very angry. In a rage, he ordered the capture of Jinke's scholars. He would rather use civilian scholars than sons of aristocratic families.

These aristocratic families have their own considerations. Giving them official positions is only to occupy their own positions and gain benefits. It is better to recruit more civilian scholars.

After hearing this, Gu Jinli felt happy. It seemed that many students from poor families would be able to go to high school in this subject.

However, she did not say this stupidly, but looked at Lin Houde, saluted him, and said: "Uncle Lin, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

Lin Houde was shocked and quickly stood up tremblingly, and gave Gu Jinli a gift in return: "Mrs. Qianhu has broken someone off. The Lin family is here to ask you to do something, and we don't deserve such a gift from you."

Gu Jinli smiled and said: "Uncle Lin is too polite. Your sweet potatoes are also responsible for our survival."

When they were fleeing famine, the original owner helped the Lin Houde family carry their children in exchange for food. The original owner did this job for more than half a month. In this way, she, Cheng Geer, and the eldest sister could have some sweet potatoes to satisfy their hunger.

There were so many capable people competing to do this kind of work that the original owner, a skinny ten-year-old girl, could not get the job. However, Lin Houde gave the work to the original owner. It can be seen that he saw that the original owner's family was too pitiful and wanted to help.

her home.

When he was fleeing from famine, he could win over others like this, which was considered a good-hearted person, so Gu Jinli respected him.

Lin Houde shook his head: "Speaking of sweet potatoes, it was my family that harmed my wife, who had her head smashed."

However, some strong men from the Niu family were overbearing. After injuring Gu Er's girl, they shamelessly went to his house to ask for work as a babysitter, saying they wanted to earn sweet potatoes.

How dare he give his child to those bastards from the Niu family? He had to give up half a bag of sweet potatoes before sending them away.

Gu Jinli smiled and said: "It's all in the past. They have already suffered evil retribution. They were beaten to death and turned into bones."

The Niu family members did many evil things, and she was not the only one who offended them. They were tied to a tree trunk. Once the news spread, how could those families who had been harmed by them not seek revenge?

Then he asked Lin Houde: "Why did Uncle Lin come to see me?"

"I've written it down, please take a look at it, Madam." Lin Houde was afraid that he wouldn't be able to tell everything in person, so he had written down the requirements in advance, took it out now, and handed it to Aunt Tao.

Aunt Tao took it and gave it to Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli spread it out and looked at it, then smiled: "So it's for this reason. Don't worry, Uncle Lin, we will give you the food. You don't need to borrow it. We'll split it 50-50."

Linjiapo was adjacent to Gujia Village. Gu Jinli thought it was a pity that those fields were left uncultivated, so he gave seeds during spring plowing and asked Gu Dalin to take the people who stayed behind in Gujia Village to plant the fields in Linjiapo.

But before planting, she was worried about what would happen in the future, so she asked Gu Dalin to go to the government office and explain how the division would be divided. She made a record in the government office and signed a contract with Uncle Qi.

If there is a dispute, just follow what is written in the deed.

Qi Yi thought this was a good idea, so he went to the wealthy households in Long'an Prefecture and asked them to plant as many fields as they could in the abandoned villages. If the people from those villages came back, they would plant them on a 50-50 basis.

Count as food.

But what the northwest lacks is not land, but people!

Although those wealthy families have servants, they may be busy with the season, so not many of them are working in deserted villages and fields.
