Li Xuan nodded slightly. With the popularization of education in Lijiazhuang and the wealth of farmers, the girls in Lijiazhuang have also become more sophisticated!
Naturally, there are some girls who cannot get married.
The wealthy families in the surrounding area, and even in Chang'an City, looked down upon the daughter of the banker.
As for ordinary people, these women in Lijiazhuang look down upon them.
Even Zheng Fu has the same vision.
"What do you think of these scholars outside, who can brave such cold weather and walk thousands of miles to Chang'an at this time of year?
Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the courage and perseverance of these scholars, as well as their hard-working nature. Moreover, these scholars dare to go to Chang’an to participate in the spring examination, so they must have some talent in their hearts! The girls in the village may like them
?”
Li Xuan said slowly.
Hearing this, Zheng Fu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Your Majesty, if this kind of scholar can cultivate some fields again, the girls in my Lijiazhuang will definitely take a fancy to him!"
"What about your girl?"
Li Xuan asked.
Zheng Fu was startled, then chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, if these scholars can marry me, Zheng..."
"You're daydreaming!" Li Xuan interrupted Zheng Fu directly.
Zheng Fu smiled flatteringly, "Your Majesty, it's already night now!"
"Then you are just wishful thinking!"
Li Xuan snorted coldly, "If you have nothing to do, go to sleep and have your sweet dreams!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zheng Fu quickly bowed his hands in apology and walked out.
Li Xuan thought of something and hurriedly said again: "One more thing, those scholars who want to ride in my motorcade in Lijiazhuang must either be handsome or tall, or have a certain skill.
Only in this way can I be favored by the girl from Lijiazhuang!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Zheng Fu quickly raised his hands and saluted.
"snort!"
Li Xuan snorted softly and said: "What I want to say is that after you go back for a while, you will think carefully about what questions you will give tomorrow to those scholars who want to board the carriage in my Lijiazhuang and whose appearance is not outstanding!"
"Yes, Master!"
Li Baoding and Wang Xuance quickly raised their hands and responded.
As for Zheng Fu, although he also bowed his hands and saluted, he was very self-aware and did not respond.
at night.
The entire bodyguard of the King of Jin slept very soundly, but the scholars and merchants were all tossing and turning, their eyes full of eagerness to try.
After an unknown amount of time, a scholar stood up first, lit a candle, took out two pieces of paper from the package he carried, and then took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone. After working for half an hour, a simple name card was written.
Then make it.
The candles in the entire inn room stayed on until late at night!
The next day.
When Li Xuan walked out of the room, it was already Chen hour.
A group of guards from the Jin Palace, under the arrangement and command of Zheng Fu, had already begun to move their carriages.
What surprised Li Xuan was that the scholars who checked in together yesterday were all sitting in the lobby and looking upstairs from time to time.
Until he walked down, these scholars all looked away evasively.
However, these scholars did not leave.
Li Xuan didn't pay much attention to this.
Because, at this moment, there were already personal guards bringing breakfast to Li Xuan.
After eating, Li Xuan was just about to stand up. The scholar closest to him quickly stood up, holding a name card in his hand, walked to Li Xuan, raised the name card with both hands, and handed it to Li Xuan with a smile on his face.
expect.
"Shuye Qiu of Lanzhou pays homage to the noble man!"
"Um?"
Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but be startled.
This was the first time he encountered this situation.
After taking the simple name card with his name, family, and place of birth written on a piece of yellowed paper, Li Xuan looked at Qiu Shuye with some curiosity.
"Why did you stop me?"
"King?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Qiu Shuye was shocked, but all the scholars around him were dumbfounded.
Immediately, everyone's faces were filled with ecstasy.
They really met a truly noble person this time. Unexpectedly, they voted on a whim and directly voted for a great king!
After a moment of silence, all the scholars could no longer remain reserved. They stood up quickly, rushed to Li Xuan, and knelt down directly.
"Survey Lanzhou An to pay homage to the king!"
"Cen Xu of Liangzhou has just paid homage to the king!"
"Jiang Heli of Liangzhou..."
"Don't be rude!"
When the two guards at the door saw this situation, they quickly guarded Li Xuan and glared at the scholar who came up.
The two fierce guards glared at the overly excited scholars with murderous looks, causing the scholars to realize that something was wrong and quickly calm down.
However, this group of scholars all come from poor families. Some of them are even scholars who have gone from poor families to wealthy households. They have suffered countless humiliations since they were young, and their faces have been tempered like steel armor.
After taking a few steps back, all the scholars smiled apologetically and saluted Li Xuan again.
"I hope your Majesty will forgive me. This is the first time for us to see such a noble person as your Majesty, so we were a little excited for a moment!"
"Okay, don't say anything more. I will be in a hurry for a while. Let's talk about it now. What do you want to do by handing me a name card like this?"
Li Xuan said directly, without any anger on his face, but he wasn't very kind either.
However, Li Xuan's expression had already made the scholars and guards feel relieved.
"Your Majesty, we are the scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam this time. We have been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since we were young, and we are also quite proficient in arithmetic. I would like to ask boldly this time. I wonder if there are still some shortcomings in the palace or under the command of the king.
A literate official or a follower will do the trick!"
Qiu Shuye, who was the first to deliver the name card to Li Xuan, said this respectfully to Li Xuan, and then looked at Li Xuan expectantly.
As for the dozens of scholars on the side, they all nodded along.
"young?"
Li Xuan looked happy, "Do you want to follow me?"
"Your Majesty Mingjian!"
Qiu Shuye and all the scholars said quickly.
"Do you know who this king is?"
Li Xuan asked again.
"Identity as king..."
Hearing this, Qiu Shuye and the other scholars all had expressions of confusion on their faces.
Early this morning, they all tried to find out the identities of Li Xuan and others from the old soldiers in the inn. But except for a scolding, they couldn't find out anything.
"The king is honored as the king of the Tang Dynasty, and the word "Jin" is emblazoned on the motorcade outside..."
Suddenly, a scholar seemed to remember something, and his eyes gradually widened.
"Is your Majesty the King of Jin?"
"Prince Jin?"
"What, the king is actually the current saint, His Highness King Jin?"
"We are waiting to see His Highness King Jin!"
Immediately, all the scholars once again saluted Li Xuan with faces full of ecstasy.
