The bounty received can also be used to build the academy.

Otherwise, what's the point of holding this poetry competition? Is it just to make wedding clothes for others? "

Jiang Er was really shocked!

He looked at Xie Xiu in disbelief. He never expected that this seemingly upright and gentle gentleman could be so cunning and shrewd!

Xie Xiu noticed his gaze and couldn't help but feel speechless.

This idea was not his own, it was Xie Ying who suggested it to him.

Apart from anything else, that girl has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.

Not only did he give him this idea, he also asked him to trick Jiang Er into coming forward to avoid ruining his reputation.

After all, he was the prefect of Suzhou. If he asked the people to pay money to decide the ranking, it would make him look like a corrupt official if it got out.

So he couldn't do this matter himself, and had to let Jiang Er do it.

Anyway, Jiang Er is a well-known playboy, so even if he does something ridiculous like this, it is not considered out of line.

What's more, the bounty will eventually be used to build the academy. Who dares to say that Jiang Er is greedy?

Jiang Er thought about it carefully and still felt that Xie Xiu’s idea was good.

You can take advantage of the opportunity to make money and select truly talented people!

It’s like killing two birds with one stone!

I never thought Xie Xiu could come up with such a way to make money! It seems I should ask Xie Xiu more often in the future and let him give me some advice.

Xie Xiu noticed the thought in Jiang Er's eyes, but he didn't explain. The solution was Xie Ying's idea, and it was Xie Ying's secret, and he would never tell Jiang Er.

Jiang Er didn't ask and quickly discussed the details of the game with him.

This was not a difficult matter, so the two of them quickly agreed on a solution.

Jiang Er is also a man of action. After he came up with a plan, he immediately released the news and started the auditions.

Xie Ying happened to be feeling bored, so as soon as the auditions started, she quietly started to watch the show.

She didn't need to select the submitted articles, and she couldn't understand them, but after the articles were made public, she had a lot of fun.

Perhaps because they had some grudges against Jiang Er, not many people submitted their works at the beginning.

The people are not very enthusiastic about giving rewards.

After all, it’s real money, who would be willing to throw it away casually?

So Xie Ying gave Xie Xiu another idea -

"Dad, why don't you submit your own work? Be a little more arrogant, don't use your own name, wear a pseudonym, and curse out these useless writers in Gusu!"

Xie Xiu: “…”

Who did my daughter take after to be so sinister?

If this really happens, the local literati in Suzhou will probably be furious.

Although he thought so in his heart, Xie Xiu still followed Xie Ying's advice, deliberately wrote an arrogant and unruly article, and submitted it under a pseudonym.

Jiang Er was unaware of his little trick. After seeing the article, he was amazed. Not only did he pick it out, he also brought it to Xie Xiu: "Brother Ke Ji, I saw an article today. This person must be very talented!

I really want to meet him right now. I just don't know what he looks like, but he should be a madman. Brother Keji, take a look at this article, isn't it well written?

Xie Xiu looked at the familiar handwriting and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although he was confident that his article would be selected, he did not expect that Jiang Er would like it so much and would specially bring it to him.

If Jiang Er knew that this article was written by him personally...

Xie Xiu thought about Jiang Er's possible reaction at that time, and immediately made up his mind that he must not let Jiang Er know about this!

Anyway, he was just helping Jiang Er to gain popularity, but he never thought about participating in the next competition or even winning a prize.

He was the prefect of Suzhou, the newly crowned number one scholar chosen by His Majesty, and one of the top three scorers in the imperial examination. If people knew that he participated in such a competition, they would probably think that he was seeking fame and was too arrogant.

So Xie Xiu had already made up his mind to keep his new identity a secret.
