There were also smart people in the village who were jealous of Tian Jiao and his team. They used the same materials to make mosquito coils, but no matter how they mixed the proportions, they were always different from Tian Jiao's. In the end, they could only sell them at a lower price.

The drugstore purchased Tianjiao's mosquito coils because they recognized the Tianjiao brand, and the customers were also willing to pay for Tianjiao's mosquito coils, so both Tianjiao and the drugstore made a lot of money, which was a win-win situation.

At first, Chen Chuang didn’t understand why Tian Jiao didn’t open his own store and instead wanted to cooperate with a pharmacy.

Tian Jiao naturally knew that selling his talents was the most profitable, but they were all a group of little beggars with no background or backing. Even if they now had household registration, they were still a group of half-grown children without parental love.

Money is a tempting thing. If they really make money by relying on mosquito coils, they will make others jealous and lose everything they have now at any time.

Those who can open a drugstore in the city and keep it open for so many years must have a background. Their mosquito coils are of good quality and are supplied to drugstores. Not only can they avoid being envied and becoming enemies with the drugstores, but they can also establish good relationships with the drugstores and prevent other jealous people from acting rashly.

After all, pharmacies make money from their mosquito coils. If anyone dares to make trouble, he is offending the pharmacy, and the pharmacy will directly make him suffer.

They make money safely and securely, which is better than anything else.

They are still too young. Chen Chuang is only fifteen or sixteen years old. In the eyes of adults, he is a talkative person who can't be trusted in anything. Who can take his words seriously?

Tian Jiao has made money now, and a lot of it, and he has some other ideas in his mind.

Tian Jiao asked Chen Chuang to find the village chief.

He wanted to ask the village chief to pay for a village school, not for the imperial examination, but only for the students to be able to read and write.

Among these beggars, the oldest one, Chen Chuang, cannot even write his own name. It will be too late if he doesn't study now.

The village chief didn't expect that Tian Jiao would think so deeply just because he had made a little money, but he was very happy.

Tian Jiao took out fifty taels of silver and set up a village school in the village. The teacher was found by the village chief, who was his good friend and a scholar who had failed the imperial examinations many times.

If he didn't have a close relationship with the village chief, he would never be willing to come to the village to study.

But no matter what, because of the village school, the status of beggars like Tian Jiao in the village has been improved.

In the past, people in the group would look down on them, but now they can greet them warmly.

After all, the money to hire the gentleman was paid by Tian Jiao and others.

Many of these beggars don't want to study and think that studying gives them a headache, but Tian Jiao is willing to talk to them.

Tian Jiao: "I let you study not for your fame, but to let you learn to write your name, read characters and read deeds, so that you won't be fooled when you go out because you can't read a single character."

Tian Jiao's words were so sincere that those who didn't want to study started studying instead.

Just like what Tian Jiao said, what they learned was not the headache-inducing imperial examinations, but how to read and write, and read contracts.

The teacher liked Tian Jiao very much and often gave him special treatment.

Although he was a scholar who had failed in the imperial examinations many times, he had enough knowledge and culture. He was willing to teach Tian Jiao because Tian Jiao was smart, learned things quickly and understood them quickly, and was also serious and never slacked off.

Tian Jiao also studied eagerly. He wanted to take the imperial examination, so he never became a businessman.

He felt that if he really wanted to change, he had to become a powerful person.

Tian Jiao's efforts are seen by everyone, and they all hope that Tian Jiao can really succeed.

Chen Chuang also learned to read and write with them. His dream was to become a shopkeeper.

So I studied very seriously.

Time flies. Chen Chuang is now 22 years old and has grown into a handsome young man who catches everyone's eye. Not only that, he has also become a shopkeeper, realizing his original dream.

The most important thing is that the previous shopkeeper was very optimistic about him. He not only recommended him to be the new shopkeeper, but also betrothed his daughter to him.

Chen Chuang never thought that one day he would have such a life.

Among these beggars, some became accountants, some farmed, and some raised animals. Without exception, they all became the people they wanted to be.

Among them, Tian Jiao must be mentioned.

Only after he had gone through the imperial examination did he realize how naive his thoughts were as a child.

He thought he was quite smart, but the exam for a Tongsheng degree made him exhausted.

He had previously thought the imperial examination was too simple.

He felt that he might not be able to pass the imperial examination to become a juren in his entire life, and maybe at best he could pass the examination to become a scholar.

Tian Jiao was a little discouraged. Those who passed the exam were all devils.

Tian Jiao is not someone who gives up easily. The more difficult the exam is, the more he wants to pass it.

Fortunately, he has a skill and has opened a mosquito coil factory. As the factory director, he only needs to improve the formula and provide new products. He doesn't have to worry about other production and sales.

He was not short of money, so he could fight the imperial examination to the end.

When Tian Jiao was twenty years old, all the beggars except him had married, and Chen Chuang's children were all running around and doing housework, but Tian Jiao was still an old student.

Whenever a matchmaker came up to him to propose marriage, he declined politely, saying that he wanted to concentrate on his studies and pass the imperial examinations.

In fact, he was fighting the imperial examination to the end, and he didn't like women.

There is no need to get married just for the sake of getting married.

When Tian Jiao was 22 years old, he finally became a scholar.

Before the matchmaker even arrived, the news that he was going out to study had already spread.

Tian Jiao had low material desires. Apart from buying books, he didn't have any big expenses, so he made some money, passed the imperial examination, and became a scholar. His biggest dream was to travel thousands of miles.

The most important thing is that he really didn't want to face the matchmaker.

Tian Jiao stopped and walked along the way, and wrote down everything he saw and heard along the way into a book.

When he ran out of money, he set up a stall to write letters and draw pictures for people.

He didn't sleep in the open air during the journey, but he didn't live a rich life either. However, Tian Jiao found it very interesting.

Later, he wrote storybooks and unexpectedly gained a lot of readers.

However, more people like to read sentimental novels. Tian Jiao's stories are emotionless, so not many people like them. However, they are enough to support his travel expenses.

It’s not that Tian Jiao doesn’t want to write about love, but he is a widower himself. Even if he is asked to write about talented men and beautiful women, he can’t write about passionate love. He can’t just write in an awkward way.

Later, Tian Jiao found Qingshan Academy and continued his studies there.

He was already thirty years old when he entered the academy.

I took the exam when I was 35, but failed.

When he was forty years old, he took the exam again and passed it this time. He became a true juren.

Tian Jiao felt that his life was complete.

Later on, he stayed in Qingshan Academy as a teacher, and what he saw and heard along the way were turned into books for people to read.

He didn't become anyone great, but he became who he wanted to be.
