He Yunxi handed the two purses to Li Changyun. Li Changyun understood instantly and went up and stuffed the purses into the hands of the two men: "The two men came here to announce the good news to me. Thank you for your hard work. Keep this money to buy some tea."
"
The two poor men did not refuse: "Then we will enjoy Li Tongsheng's happiness. Thank you and say goodbye."
The two of them left, and when they were far away, they opened their respective purses and looked at them.
I was so light just now, I thought I didn't give any money. Who knew that there were three pieces of silver in each of them.
"The Li family is so generous!" the young Cha Ye sighed, "I said before that we would come to the countryside to announce the good news, but no one was willing to come. In the end, we got the benefit."
The older Cha Ye was also very happy.
Generally speaking, the small amount of good news is only a dozen copper coins, and the high value is only a hundred copper coins, and generally only people in the city are willing to part with it.
They are usually not reused, so they are sent to the countryside.
I never thought that the first person I met would be generous.
With this, even if they don't give it later, they will still make a lot of money today.
In the yard of the Li family, the surrounding neighbors were congratulating Li Changyun. The Li family was so happy that it took a while before they sent the neighbors away.
Liu Yan pulled He Yunxi into the kitchen and asked, "Yunxi, how much is in each purse?"
"There's about three pieces of silver in each one," He Yunxi said.
"Why did you give so much?" Liu Yan felt sorry for her, "I'll tell dad later that I'll give you the money."
"No need. Mom, my uncle has passed the examination as a child student. This is a happy event for the family. Let's not worry about the money. Why don't we think about what to make for lunch today to celebrate." He Yunxi said.
"You!" Liu Yan poked her forehead, "Leave the cooking to me. Just give me a hand."
"OK!"
He Yunxi watched Liu Yan go looking for vegetables and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she doesn't catch him preaching, that's fine.
In fact, she didn't mean to be so generous just now. In fact, she didn't bring any copper coins when she went out today. Apart from a dozen copper coins, she only had broken silver.
After seeing off his neighbor, Li Changyun came in specifically to see He Yunxi: "Yunxi, thank you for today. If it weren't for you, we would have made a fool of ourselves today."
None of the family thought of preparing a reward, so He Yunxi prepared it.
"Uncle, you're welcome." He Yunxi said, "Congratulations, uncle, you can study at Qingfeng College."
Qingfeng College is the college where Lu Yan works. It accepts twenty people every year. In Yanjiang County, it only accepts the top ten people. The other ten places are for outsiders.
Li Changyun ranked tenth, which just met the requirements.
Li Changyun immediately changed his attention and said a little shyly: "It is only because of the notes and guidance given by Lu Yan that I can achieve such results."
"You can talk to your husband about the academy." He Yunxi said.
"Okay, then I'll go and chat with him." Li Changyun thought of going to the academy to study, so he went out excitedly.
Li Zhigui was very happy and asked Li Chengchao to go to the town to buy meat for his family to celebrate.
While the Li family celebrated happily, everyone in the Huang family was unhappy.
On the way to invite Doctor Liu back, Wang Juhua saw the messenger passing by Huangtao Village. When she asked the villagers, she found out that Li Changyun had passed the Tongsheng examination and was in the top ten!
She went back and told Huang Tao. After Dr. Liu finished the treatment and left, Huang Tao immediately threw away the pillow on the bed.
Li Changyun actually ranked tenth in the county examination, so that he could enter Qingfeng College. Once he entered Qingfeng College, his career would be stable.
It is enough for the Li family to have a candidate and support him casually in the future.
Don't say that if you take the exam to be a scholar or a civil servant, he will still know how much he weighs. It is possible for a scholar to work hard, but he will definitely not be able to pass the exam.
Such good help is gone now.
Hearing the quarrel between Wang Juhua and Wang Hong coming from outside, his regret expanded infinitely, swallowing up his whole person. Now, even the hair on his head was regretting it.
…
Happy to be happy, after lunch, He Yunxi followed Li Zhigui, Li Changming, and Li Changfu to the fields to see the peppers being planted.
"They are basically alive. Look at these, they all have two or three new leaves." Li Zhigui looked at these peppers happily.
"It's growing very well," He Yunxi said. "The pepper seedlings will grow very quickly after they survive. You can start harvesting peppers next month. And peppers don't need a lot of water. They require less water than ordinary crops, but they don't need much water either."
Done."
"We all remember the precautions you gave us before." Li Zhigui said, "By the way, the fat you asked us to retting after the new year has already been retting. Can we make this method public?"
"Okay." He Yunxi said, "I have given this method to the master, and he told the emperor. Now the emperor should have succeeded. As long as it is successful, it will be vigorously promoted in the future."
"Can it be promoted nationwide? That would be great!" Li Zhigui said, "Unfortunately, there is already a severe drought trend this year, and this year's crops are destined to not have a good harvest."
"We have water conservancy projects that can alleviate some of the drought. Crops will only be reduced in yield, not harvested. And I heard Mr. Luo say that if there is a severe drought this year, he will plead with the court to reduce some taxes." He Yunxi said, "If so,
If the emperor agrees, everyone can still survive."
In fact, this was said by Liang Jinxi.
Lu Yan analyzed with him the consequences of the severe drought, and talked about the people's wishes as long as they could survive. He also listed with him the uprisings in previous dynasties when the people could not survive. After Liang Jinxi asked Xie Yuanming,
He said that if there was a severe drought this year, he would suggest that the emperor reduce taxes.
As for whether to agree or not, that is the emperor's business. From what He Yunxi heard from Lu Yan's evaluation of the emperor, she felt that this possibility was quite high.
