At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

Gu Changqing pointed at the silver and said, "There are 25 people in the Tianzi class. Except for the two who returned home, the rest have bought the questions and received a total of 230 coins.

"Aunt, the essays by Da Mao and I that you reviewed have also been circulated. Each person paid at least twenty wen. Here is the remaining five hundred wen. I originally had some loose change, but for convenience, I exchanged it for copper coins."

Lin Qing listened while flipping through the account book, and said with sincere emotion: "It really deserves to be the top class. The second generation of all kinds of people are so straightforward when it comes to spending money."

Gu Changqing said with a guilty look on his face, "I'm really ashamed to say that at first I doubted whether Aunt's plan would work, but later I realized that I was really worrying too much.

"After reading my aunt's comments, they were convinced of your status as a great scholar. That's why I didn't mention your review of the article. I didn't want them to think we were asking for favors, which would only make us look less worthy."

Lin Qing praised him for his thoughtfulness. Before formally arranging the next work, she, who was well versed in incentive policies, took out five strings of money, untied two of them, and split them in half.

"I was careless and forgot to discuss how the profits would be divided. So, just listen to me for now. The three of us will each get three shares of the five hundred coins, and the remaining fifty coins will go to Er Miao.

"The rest will be treated as public funds. Anyone can use it to pay for any expenses related to the simulation. How about that?"

The three children opened their mouths unconsciously.

Lin Qing didn't wait for them to refuse and directly stuffed the money into their arms.

"No pain, no gain. Each of us contributed to the simulation, and this is the reward we deserve. Of course, this money is not free, you still have work to do next."

Seeing that the children were still motionless, Lin Qing said, "Of course, you all have to be prepared. The relaxation now is just the beginning. We will be busier and busier in the future, and of course, we will also gain more."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Qing was shocked to find that she had become the person she hated the most.

Paint cake!

The children were almost dizzy from Lin Qing's words. Gu Damao and Gu Changqing never expected that they could be on equal footing with their mother/aunt and get 150 cents.

Gu Changqing is even worse.

Although he only gave a question and did his best, he also learned a lot from his aunt.

Compared with the two, his contribution is really insignificant. How dare he shamelessly take so much?

Gu Ermiao was even more incredible.

He just said a few words, which was not even an idea, so how could he have the nerve to take the money?

But when they heard Lin Qing say this, they knew she must have her reasons.

Although they don't understand now, they will naturally understand her painstaking efforts later.

The three children looked at each other and tacitly agreed not to refute.

Lin Qing was very pleased with the three children's reactions and said with a smile, "I just heard from Changqing that the scale of the Jia Mansion's poetry gathering is unprecedented. If we want to make our simulated policy essay famous, we must seize this opportunity."

Gu Changqing could no longer agree and said, "I have this plan as well, but I have been thinking hard and don't know how to start. The main reason I came here today is to ask for your guidance, aunt."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Although this may be a bit unreasonable, if possible, could you please organize them to do a simulated policy writing session tonight?

"After all, it's only a few days until the end of the month. Besides the time needed for revisions, we also have to wait for rankings."

Gu Changqing smiled and said, "That's easy. From what I know, they're even more anxious than we are. Although they appear calm on the surface, many of them have already started practicing writing in private. I just don't know when you'll come next time. Should I send it back to you or..."

Lin Qing naturally knew that he was worried about the time wasted in delivering the message back and forth. He handed him a bone flute and said, "When you finish writing, just blow this. It will then help you hand the item to me."

Although Gu Changqing didn't know what this little thing was, he still took it with both hands and said, "Then Auntie, wait for my good news."

"Of course, I have other ideas that require your approval. I'm thinking of giving the top three essays free bonuses when I return them for review."

free?

Gu Ermiao, who was most sensitive to money, said, "But, but we have already divided the money. Should we return it to them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he figured out the key point and said excitedly:

"Yes, how could I forget that you did the same thing when you were selling sour jujube cakes! We have to give them some sweet treats first, let them know how good our products are, and then more people will be willing to spend money!"

Lin Qing gave him an approving look.

Gu Changqing instantly understood his aunt's deep meaning. Without caring about praising her, he immediately thought of another worrying issue:

There are twenty-three people who bought the questions this time. With so many copies, won’t they have to copy their arms and legs off?

His aunt was truly impressive. She seemed to instantly see through his concerns and said with a smile, "Changqing, what I'm thinking is that we write the rankings in the upper right corner of the returned test papers, and then post the top three essays directly at the cafeteria entrance during lunch so everyone can see them."

Gu Changqing suddenly understood.

Wouldn't it be better if I just had to make a copy?

In this way, anyone who comes to eat, not only the students and teachers of the Tianzi class, but also the entire Songyang Academy can see it!

It not only makes it convenient for everyone to copy, but also can trigger huge discussions. It really kills two birds with one stone!

"Aunt, if that's the case, why don't we give rewards to the top three in the future?"

"Changqing's suggestion is very good! How about letting me think about it? Ermiao, the next step is your task."

Lin Qing pushed the account book in front of him and encouraged him, "Reorganize the account book based on your own understanding. From now on, you will be responsible for keeping the accounts for the simulated policy discussions."

Gu Ermiao didn't expect that he would receive such a task. He was so ecstatic that he even forgot that he had planned to be an apprentice in Qian Zhanggui's candied fruit shop.

When he remembered, Lin Qing had already arranged everything for him.

"Don't worry, it won't interfere with your apprenticeship. You just need to sort out the accounts when you get home. We check the accounts before every new project, and we also do a thorough review every month. Is that okay with you?"

Gu Ermiao had no objection at all.

"Thank you for giving me the chance, Mom. I promise I won't let you down!"

Gu Damao couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that his mother had been talking for a long time but still hadn't made any arrangements for him.

As soon as he looked up, he met his mother's eager gaze. For some reason, he felt a hint of...

Smirk?

"Da Mao, come with me to the bookstore this afternoon. We have something important to discuss with Manager Yu."

Gu Damao's eyes immediately revealed anticipation.

The bookstore, that’s a place he has wanted to go for a long time!

"But before that, you have to make a plan."

plan?

What it is?

After listening to Lin Qing's arrangements, Gu Damao instantly knew where his bad premonition came from.
