At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"It is so convenient to have this rubbing technique. It would have taken seven days to complete this excerpt, but now it only takes a short while."

Li Shiji praised it repeatedly and suggested that Ren Hao present this rubbing technique to His Majesty someday. This would not only save His Majesty a considerable amount of excerpt expenses, but would also surely lead to a generous reward because the emperor would be pleased.

"I'm afraid I'll be scolded to death after the generous reward."

Ren Hao sighed and shook his head. Now, most of the people who were picked up in the palace were Confucian scholars.

If he presented the art of rubbings to His Majesty, it would destroy the jobs of Confucian scholars and people all over the world.

Ma Qian and a group of Confucian scholars already hated him. If he now destroyed the jobs that the Confucian scholars were guarding, they would definitely hate him to death.

Now he is not afraid of those poor and quack Confucian scholars, but he cannot avoid the future change of dynasties. If the Confucian scholars suddenly become the pillars of the court, he does not know how they will be discredited, or even dug out.

Forget it, as the saying goes, forgive others when you can.

"You two can use the rubbing technique secretly, but remember to keep it confidential and not spread it to others." Ren Hao reminded the two.

"This technique is very good, why not pass it on?" Li Shiji frowned, looking puzzled, and the same was true for Shen He next to him.

"Although this technique is good, it will cause all the pickers in the world to lose their jobs."

"It doesn't matter if I become the target of public criticism, but now the world is not united yet, I am afraid that they will gather together to cause chaos and bring trouble to Your Majesty." Ren Hao sighed, and told the two that if the world is united now, it would not be a problem for the rubbing technique to spread. Cultural progress will inevitably eliminate inferior products, and these eliminated pickers can go to distant new lands to make a living.

"Been taught a lesson."

"Brother Ren is very far-sighted. We can't even compare to him." Li Shiji and Shen He both looked humble and willing to learn. They would ask Ren Hao for more advice in the future.

But even though Ren Hao hoped that the two would keep the rubbing technique secret and not spread it to outsiders, the technique was still heard by the spies in the palace, who then wrote down everything and sent it to Wen Yan in the palace via pigeons.

Wen Yan learned from the content that Ren Hao invented the rubbing technique, and was furious at first that he had hidden it from her, but then she felt relieved after reading the end of the content.

I can only pretend that I know nothing.

……

On the other side of the mansion, Ren Hao sent Li Shiji out of the mansion and saw a woman in green feeding pigeons in the yard.

"Qingzhu, you haven't rested yet."

As Ren Hao spoke, all the pigeons flew away.

"Master, I couldn't sleep so I thought of getting up and feeding these wild birds to pass the time." Qingzhu bowed to Ren Hao, and then a pigeon landed from the sky onto Qingzhu's shoulder.

Ren Hao looked at the white pigeon standing on the green bamboo's shoulder and said with a meaningful smile: "You have a very good relationship with this wild bird."

"My lord, Qingzhu often feeds these wild birds, so naturally there will be some of them that I have a good relationship with." Qingzhu took the white pigeon off his shoulder, and sweat began to seep out of his forehead.

"Ok."

"It's getting late, remember to go to bed early." Ren Hao nodded and went back to the house to rest with Su Wan'er.

The next morning, Ren Hao wrote the recruitment notice and asked Cai Lun to find someone to post it.

In addition to the capital, the places where this notice is posted also include county towns, counties and villages near the capital.

The Ministry of Revenue's recruitment notice for officials immediately attracted the attention of a group of talented people who were proficient in arithmetic but had no hope of getting a job.

The recruitment deadline is for the top 30 nominees in Beijing and the last 100 nominees outside Beijing.

After all, it takes a long time for talented people from outside Beijing to come to Beijing, so leaving 70 nomination opportunities for people outside Beijing can be considered a small differential benefit.

Now, when talented people from all over the country see the recruitment announcement, whether they are from the capital or outside the capital, they all bring their proof of native place and go straight to the official residence to sign up.

In order to prevent people from taking advantage of the situation and occupying the quota, a warning was also issued at the bottom of the recruitment notice that anyone who took advantage of the situation and deliberately occupied the quota would be punished with 50 strokes of the cane and exiled outside the border.

This made many talented people who wanted to fish in troubled waters regret not learning arithmetic in the first place!!!

While talented people from all over the country were rushing to Ren's mansion, Ren Hao had already had people set up the examination tables in the courtyard. As long as their native identity was confirmed, they could sit down and take the exam directly.

Each person has only half an hour to solve the problem, and once the time is up, they have to hand in the paper regardless of whether they have finished answering or not.

Such a demanding time limit for solving the problem immediately caused complaints from many talented scholars in Beijing.

"Half an hour for these five questions? Are you kidding us?"

"Yes, these five questions are extremely profound and difficult. It will take at least an hour to solve them!!!"

“We ask for more time!!!”

As long as someone takes the lead, there will inevitably be people who follow.

All the twenty-five talented people who were solving the problems on the spot suddenly stood up and complained and protested, and did not even solve the problems.

"Mr. Ren, what should we do?" Shen He and Li Shiji were both at a loss and looked at Ren Hao who was drinking from the teapot.

They had already thought that half an hour was too short, but Ren Hao insisted on half an hour.

If you can't solve five questions within half an hour, then you are nothing but a waste.

Facing the complaints and protests from the talented students, Ren Hao immediately stood up and said to them, "If you want to take the exam, then take it. If you don't want to take the exam, then get out. Don't be such a jerk here and show your worthless nature."

"Li Jin, Shi Huan, Hui Lixue, kick them all out." Ren Hao waved his hand and asked the three of them to kick all these talented people out.

Anyway, there is not enough time for them to solve the problem now, so it is better to kick them all out and establish authority for other talented people.

"Master, is this inappropriate?"

Eriyuki couldn't bear to hurt these talented people who were so powerless.

"Not appropriate? Then go over and talk to them in nice words and see if they will leave." Ren Hao smiled and looked like he was going to enjoy the show. He sat down again and picked up the teacup.

Erika actually ran over and tried to persuade these talented men to leave with kind words, but her kindness was in vain as these talented men didn't take Erika seriously at all.

Not only did they not leave, they also overturned the table and continued to shout in protest.

Shi Huan who was standing next to them would not tolerate these poor talents. He kicked the most ferocious talent out of the house.

This kick made the talented man roll more than ten meters away, which meant that even if he didn't die, he would be crippled.

Seeing that Shi Huan was serious, the other talented scholars all ran out of the mansion and dared not complain or protest anymore.

The talented students who were waiting outside the door for the exam were all stunned and felt a chill down their spines and in their hearts.
