Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Lin Daguan was about to leave, but suddenly there were several violent coughs behind him.
Turning around, I saw that the person who coughed was none other than Lu Junbi. He also took the exam paper and hurried over to hand it in.
Lu Junbi couldn't be in a hurry. He had no way to deal with the Grand Master in advance. If he walked out of the examination room today and hundreds of test papers were piled on top of each other, would the Grand Master know who he was?
Lin Tailai burst out laughing. It seemed that Lu Xiucai still couldn't resist the temptation to make progress.
So he pointed to Lu Junbi and said to Fang Ti: "This gentleman is ten times more talented than me, but he didn't meet a master in the last scientific examination, and he only ranked fourth. The great master might as well interview him."
Fang Tixue's face was as black as ink. Lin Tailai, don't go too far. Do you even want to interfere in Yangzhou's affairs?
Lu Junbi trotted over quickly and respectfully placed his test paper on the examination form.
Then he bowed deeply and said: "Old master, please be polite!"
This style of behavior is more than ten times higher than the emotional intelligence of Lin Daguan. Moreover, the word "Li" has a long pronunciation, which everyone can understand.
Fang Tixue felt a little more comfortable. Although he could not change the will of Lin Daguan, at least Lu Junbi's attitude made him feel comfortable.
They are all here for the exam, how come there is such a big gap between what they do and what they do? Will you, Lin Tailai, die if you pretend to respect your teachers?
Seeing Fang Tixue also draw three circles on Lu Junbi's test paper, Lin Daguan had nothing else to do and turned around and walked out of the examination room.
Lu Junbi was still saluting the Grand Master and saying something.
When Lin Tailai reached the intersection, Lu Junbi finally caught up from behind.
"I will be the host on the boat tonight! I will arrange four for you!" Lu Junbi invited.
Lin Tailai said helplessly: "Now in Yangzhou city, who doesn't know that I have a deep affection for Bai Huakui? Are you trying to ruin my character?"
Lu Junbi: "."
You Lin Jieyuan acted in a play, and you were quite into it?
"You're tired, let's take a rest!" Mr. Lin waved his hand and said.
This is not a lie. With the material conditions of this era, exams are an all-round torture for candidates, both physically and mentally.
For example, in some places where dedicated examination booths are not built, county examination candidates need to carry their desks and go to the county office to answer the papers while sitting on the ground or standing.
Therefore, every time there is a county examination, all the desks near the county government offices are often borrowed by candidates.
Even the highest-level palace examination was conducted in the open air, in the wind and sun, in the square outside the Jinluan Palace, while standing and bending down with a pen to write, and the writing lasted a whole day.
In theory, the examiner of the palace examination is the emperor. Which candidate would dare to sit down and answer the exam?
Given Lin's physique, he felt a little tired after the exam and just wanted to go back to his apartment and lie down.
Lu Junbi was also very tired, so he didn't say anything more. He cupped his hands and said, "I'll thank you again tomorrow."
For Lin Daguan, the main goal of going to Yangzhou City this time has been achieved, and the Taoist test has become a thing of the past.
Other candidates have to look forward to the release of results in a few days, but Mr. Lin does not have to wait for this at all.
Because his name is definitely not on the list of Jiangdu County in Yangzhou City. His name will only appear on the list of Wu County in April.
Afterwards, Lin Daguan returned to his residence, which was the courtyard lent by Lu Junbi, and Zhang Wen, the left-behind guardian, came to greet him.
Now that Lin Daguan has enough manpower, he does not take the left guardian Zhang Wen with him when he goes out. Instead, he asks Zhang Wen to stay at his residence and be responsible for receiving visitors.
Lin Tailai asked: "Did Mr. Wang come here, or did he send someone?"
Zhang Wen replied: "No."
Lin Tailai asked again: "Are there any other powerful local figures coming to visit or posting?"
Zhang Wen replied: "None of them."
Lin Daguan sighed, in this world, most people have a conservative mentality when facing changes.
After all, those who dare to gamble and take risks, and who can't eat or cook with five pots of food, are only a minority.
I originally thought that there would be many adventurers in Yangzhou City, a city with a strong commercial character, but I was still disappointed.
Even though he had already made his move, there was still no one who dared to place a bet and cooperate. Even Wang Yuanwai was hesitant.
Could it be that the strength he has shown is not enough? Others don't think that he can really suppress the Zheng family in Yangzhou?
Lin Daguan is not a god. If no one responds, he will have to change his mind.
Official Lin asked again: "Is there anyone else coming to see me? For example, a local scholar or a country official."
Zhang Wen said: "Actually, there was a person who came to seek refuge, but that person had no strength and was of no use."
As a confidant, Zhang Wen certainly knew what kind of person he was waiting for.
If it's just a thug or errand boy, it's really useless. There is no shortage of such people in the restaurant.
Lin Tailai didn't care and said casually: "Forget it if you don't have the strength. We don't have time to train an agent from scratch in Yangzhou."
Zhang Wen continued: "This person is a young woman. Although she is fair and good-looking, she is really of no use."
After the exam, Lin Daguan, who was bored, slapped Zhang Wen and shouted: "I've been asking you for a long time, why didn't you tell me earlier!
Do you know the allusion to Qian Jinshi’s horse bones? How do you know it’s useless if you don’t see it?”
Zhang Wen grimaced in pain, and while instructing his men to bring someone over, he introduced:
"This woman calls herself Wu Tian, ​​and her husband's surname is Wu Mingdeng. Her ancestors came from Huizhou, and now she runs a gang in Jiangbei. From her vague words, it seems that she has a blood feud with the Zheng family."
Lin Tailai asked a very crucial question: "Blood feud? Her husband was killed by the Zheng family?"
Zhang Wen said: "That's not true. Her husband is still alive, but he is hiding somewhere else. She didn't give details. He must wait until he is seated."
Lin Tailai searched his memory and was sure that the man named Wu Deng was not a historical figure, and he immediately lost interest.
A self-employed person who works as a gang has absolutely no value for cooperation to Lin Daguan.
The only thing I'm curious about is how come Wu Tianshi, the wife, shows up to do things?
Zhang Wen also introduced: "Wu Tian came with a child under one year old, who is currently in the concierge.
She said it was very risky to come here to visit in public, and if she left here, she might not survive today."
Lin Tailai was very puzzled, "Is this a moral kidnapping of me? If I don't take her in, will she die?"
Zhang Wen said: "In my opinion, it shouldn't be that way. Maybe there is some real reason, otherwise why would you bring your child here to show off?"
Official Lin also had nothing to do, so he was ready to meet.
Not long after, I saw a tall, fair-skinned, pretty young woman walking into the front hall with a baby in her arms.
Official Lin was too lazy to take the initiative to speak, so he picked up a teacup and drank tea.
Wu Tianshi knelt down directly on the ground and said: "The slave family asks the officials to give me a way to survive!"
Lin Tailai was speechless. If these words were spread, he was afraid that others would misunderstand what he had done to this young woman.
Then he scolded: "Speak carefully! I have never met you, who will not give you a way to survive?"
Wu Tian took two steps on his knees, got closer to Lin Tailai, and said eagerly: "I was in a hurry and said the wrong thing!
In fact, it’s the Zheng family that doesn’t give the Nu family a way to survive, and now only Lin Daguan can keep the Nu family alive!”
There was something wrong with this position. Lin Tailai was condescending and subconsciously glanced at the young woman's collar.
Maybe it's because I've been sticking to my deep love character lately, which has caused me to get a little angry.
Lin Tailai put down the tea cup and said coldly: "Maybe you have some grudges with the Zheng family, but why should I help you?"
Wu Tianshi said quickly: "My husband has five hundred salts!"
Lin Daguan sneered, how much money can you earn from five hundred salts? Three hundred taels?
For ordinary people, three hundred taels is considered a huge sum of money, but does Lin Tailai seem to be in need of these three hundred taels?
Although Lin Daguan wanted to enter the salt industry, he really didn't care about the hundreds of salt imports.
Wu Tianshi quickly added: "These five hundred salt guides are enough to carry salt to Suzhou!"
This is good, Wu Tian finally aroused the interest of Lin Daguan.
Although five hundred Yanyin is not much, if it can transport salt to Suzhou's Yanyin, it will be an opening worth opening.
As we all know, the Suzhou area is monopolized by the Zheng family, and it is difficult for others to obtain salt from Suzhou.
Besides, according to the current popular calculation of two hundred kilograms per salt, five hundred kilograms is equivalent to one hundred thousand kilograms, so carrying hundreds of thousands kilograms of private salt is not too much, right?
