I am engaged in construction in Datang

Kan Lizhi and Erliuzi looked at each other and smiled.

This bald ass/slicker believed it!

"Amitabha, benefactor, my disciple and I have come here to beg for alms. Is there anyone in the mountains who would be willing to give us some food?"

Erliuzi smiled widely.

Begging?

He looked at the two men's faces, which had the characteristics of people from the Western Regions, and their attire was brocade with patterns of gold and silver threads.

Does this still require begging?

I’m afraid it’s a fake by the Turks!

Hey, you’re going to get rich.

Thinking of this, Erliuzi smiled more sincerely: "Master, if you don't mind, would you like to stay in my village?"

"Amitabha, this is exactly what I want to say."

……

All the students in the village were "rescued", and with Li Yin holding them down, no one dared to act rashly.

Except for the students who already have families, the others have actually become some great stories.

After the palace examination, Yu Yan still topped the list.

After taking office, the students will move out of the village.

They are labeled as female villages, and even their inclusion on the list is due to the influence of female villages.

Everyone had a vague understanding of Master Li's rules. If someone did something stupid, the others would gradually distance themselves from him.

The canteen in the village.

A banquet is being held today, and all the students and tenants who have time are here.

"Master Li."

Yu Yan stood up and toasted Li Yin with red eyes: "Yu Yan toasts you three cups."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank heavily, tears streaming down his cheeks.

After decades of studying, he has finally made a name for himself today. It is not because he is good, but because Master Li is good.

When you drink water, you should remember the person who dug the well. He remembers it clearly.

"Congratulations." Li Yin was also happy and raised her glass to take a sip.

There are many students in the village, and everyone wants to come over to toast her. If she drinks just like them, she will not be able to finish the whole toast.

"Do you have anywhere to go after this?"

"...There is."

Talking about this, Yu Yan still finds it mysterious.

That day he stood in the main hall, surrounded by several old men who often came to the village.

Then, a familiar voice sounded from above, and he looked up again -

Ok!

It turned out to be the owner's sworn brother who came to eat for free all day.

The other party gave him a look and he understood.

So the two of them understood each other tacitly.

"Master, I told His Majesty that I want to go to Hebei Province to be responsible for the compulsory education experimental area."

Yu Yan had a hunch that compulsory education was not a small project. If it were really implemented, the entire Tang Dynasty would be shocked.

"Where is Zheng Wen?" Li Yin nodded and looked at Zheng Wen again. He was ranked fourth.

"The newspaper office needs to expand, and Minister Sun can't handle it alone. I happen to have experience."

Zheng Wen was ambitious: "Master, you said that media is the future trend. Minister Sun is in charge of the overall situation in Beijing, so I will go to the local area to spread newspapers."

After staying in the village for a long time, their horizons have been broadened a lot.

Li Yin asked about their past one by one, and found out that everyone had a good place to go, and it was more or less related to Zhuangzi.

According to everyone's opinion, it will be convenient to open a back door for Zhuangzi in the future.

cough!

This matter is not something that can be told to outsiders.

Everyone enjoyed the food and drinks, some sang loudly, some cried loudly, and some even hugged the table legs to confess their love.

After today, the future is long and arduous, and I don’t know when we will meet again.

……

The backyard of the library.

Li Xiu folded his whitish robe, made the bed, and went to the front desk to check out.

"Mr. Li, are you not staying here any longer?"

"No." Li Xiu smiled bitterly: "I... should go back to my hometown."

This is the third time he has failed the exam.

The young man became famous overnight, and he was full of vigor and pride. His neighbors bid him farewell and hoped for the top scorer, and ten years passed in a spring.

Shame! Really shame!

"There are always people better than you, and I probably am not cut out for this." Li Xiu lowered his eyes dejectedly.

The neighbors sent him money every year, and they all believed that Li Xiu was a man of great talent.

But ten years passed in a flash, and he was no longer the passionate Li Xiu who had just come to Beijing.

"Mr. Li, please don't be discouraged. History is full of people who achieved success late in life." The young lady put down the book in her hand and helped the other party to check out.

Li Xiu smiled bitterly: "But how many examples are there in history?"

"In the past, I believed that even if there were few people who could stand out, why couldn't it be me? Now, I just feel that it definitely won't be me."

The young lady was speechless for a moment. What Li Xiu said was the truth.

Among the tens of thousands of scholars in the Tang Dynasty, how many of them could become officials in the end?

The positions in the court are not even big enough for the descendants of nobles to share, so there is no reason for you, a poor family, to come here!

The truth is clearly laid out here, why don’t you believe it?

"Young lady, how much do you need?" Li Xiu took out some copper coins and rags from his luggage.

Nowadays, in the whole city of Chang'an, the only shops that collect scraps of cloth are those under the control of Nuzhuang.

The lady at the front desk couldn't bear it, so she leaned in close to him and whispered, "Mr. Li, listen to me."

"If you are not in a hurry to return home, why not stay here for a while?"

"I heard that some good policies will be released soon, which may be good for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a poor student came running in from outside the door. There were several scratches on his face, which showed that he had gone through a lot of hardships.

"Brother Li!"

He couldn't contain his excitement: "I got the 13th issue of this year's newspaper!"

"Let's go here and take a look first. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late to go home."

The other party handed the newspaper to Li Xiu and pointed to two pieces of news on it.

"'Notice on Promoting the Three-Year Compulsory Education Experimental Zone Project in Hebei Province in April of the 19th Year of the Tang Calendar.'" Li Xiu read it all in one breath, his tongue tied and his chest heaving.

"And this." The student turned the newspaper over and pointed to another headline: "Notice on the Establishment of a Chinese Character and Pinyin Exchange Conference in April of the 19th Year of the Tang Dynasty."

"This is……"

"Brother Li, if you achieve your goal, you will get extra points on your next Jinshi exam!"

There is no such thing as extra points nowadays, but everyone understands it.

If you get a grade B in the test, plus extra points, then you may be admitted to Grade B, which is amazing!

Li Xiu put down his luggage and said, "Young lady, I won't retreat yet!"

"Tell me to go take a look here first, and then decide whether to check out." He was very anxious, this was a good opportunity!

If he seizes the opportunity, he might be on the list in three years!

The women's village also issued a statement that a policy to support students from poor families has been released. From now on, the village will no longer accept students, and no one will have the opportunity to study in the village.

If you still can't get into high school, you can't blame anyone else.

On the day after the results were announced, Li Yin asked the students in the village to place several stacks of test papers that they had used in practice at the city gate. They would sit there in person and examine others at will.

Policy questions are nothing more than those major directions. Each student has practiced at least hundreds of questions, and there is a general framework for answering the questions, so even the teachers from the Imperial College will not be stumped.

The Ministry of Rites was also angry when it was accused of fraud.

They taped all 360 test papers to the wall for everyone to read.

"Hey! Another female student who was maliciously given low scores by the Ministry of Rites!" A student was indignant.

He saw that the paper originally had a vermilion "A middle lower" on it, but in the end it was crossed out and changed to "A lower upper".

The one who suffered the most was Master Zheng. His articles were top-notch and originally ranked A-top, able to compete with Master Yu. However, later on, his rank was forcibly changed to A-upper or lower!

"Master Zheng's article is so good, but he has to make way for the aristocratic family!"

"As expected, we poor students have no hope of success."

"Who said there is none? Have you read today's newspaper? Your Majesty is wise and Nv Zhuang is righteous. They are willing to open a path to heaven for us."

"That group of aristocratic families..." A student stopped talking halfway.
