The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

"Whose food are you eating?"

"King Qin! King Qin!"

"Whose wages are you taking?"

"King Qin! King Qin!"

Qinghe County had just celebrated the New Year, the weather was cold, and there were few people in the threshing ground.

But today, many fellow villagers are here to join in the fun.

For no other reason! Qin Wang Li Jize paid wages to the Beiliang Wolf Cavalry for three months, and today he also opened the granaries to provide disaster relief and distribute food to the people.

As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have eaten one's food and be soft-hearted when receiving favors from others.

What's more, it was New Year's Day and the army had no pay and the people had no food. Li Jize did something to help people in need, so how could he not deserve the word "good"?

Everyone was praising the King of Qin. He was truly the pillar of the Qi Dynasty. In the entire court, the King of Qin was the only good man who truly loved his people like his own children.

What followed was naturally a round of praise, and the story of Li Jize opening the Changping Warehouse to provide relief to the victims and publicly trying the prefect was spread again.

If anyone here is interested, they probably know what Li Jize is going to do. He is trying to win people's hearts! He is going to rebel!

but in fact……

Even if Li Jize really rebelled now, what could the court do?

Not only did she not dare to get angry, she also had to turn a blind eye to it, so as not to provoke the King of Qin to "clean up the court."

Li Jize paid the soldiers a salary to win their hearts, and distributed food to win the hearts of the people.

But it's not enough! Far from enough!

As a time traveler from a later era, Li Jize specifically selected the "poor students" from Qinghe County. These people either had no relatives in the local area or no connections in the court.

The only thing they can be proud of is that they know a few words and understand some culture.

On weekdays, he made a living by writing calligraphy and couplets for others, but his life was not easy. Day after day, year after year, he relied on the imperial examinations, becoming poorer and poorer, and finally living a miserable life.

But now! After Li Jize gathered these people together, he decided to give them jobs and make them important!

But before that...

Li Jize must be the first to teach these people a good lesson!

Moreover, in order to allow more ordinary people to be "enlightened", Li Jize allowed them to sit in as observers.

You know, in the feudal period, "relationships" were very important.

The civil servants in the court included local cliques, factions, surnames and families. Even in the imperial examinations, once you were accepted by the examiners who were responsible for marking the examination papers, you automatically became his disciple.

These kids from poor families have no hope. If they could listen to a lesson from the King of Qin and have an epiphany in the future, they could also be known as "King of Qin's disciples", right?

Because of this, there are quite a few children from poor families who come to attend the class today!

However, students who truly come from wealthy families and clans will not come here.

Just because they have backers, families, and intelligence behind them, who is Li Jize now?

Rebellious ministers and traitors!

Anyone who dares to get involved with him will be implicated if there is a rebellion in the future.

Seeing those poor children wearing tattered and patched clothes, Li Jize nodded, very satisfied with the effect.

Well, that saves me the trouble of sifting through them one by one.

As a time traveler from the future, Li Jize was deeply influenced by "MLM" and public speaking masters. The previous Li Jize couldn't and wasn't willing to paint a rosy picture or stir up hatred, but the new Li Jize, if he wanted to rebel, he would have to shout "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species?"

But before that...

He has to ignite the anger of the children from poor families and the common people!

Therefore, the first sentence Li Jize said stunned all the poor students present.

"Hello, future pillars of our nation!"

puff!

When these words were spoken, the poor students did not say anything, but the people around them burst into laughter.

"The pillars of the country? Just them? Hahaha..."

"They've been taking exams for decades, but haven't even earned a degree, and yet they're still considered pillars of society!"

"I know that Xu Sheng. His rice jar is almost empty. If it weren't for the King of Qin's donation of rice, he wouldn't know where his next meal would come from."

The common people were mocking them, and the children from poor families blushed and felt a little ashamed.

Likewise, they were a little angry at Li Jize. They had come to listen to your lectures because they had nowhere else to go. Why, did you come here and humiliate them like this?

While these people were getting angry and embarrassed, Li Jize spoke with a serious face and said in a cold voice: "I swear in the name of General Tiance that every word I just said is true! There is nothing I said against my heart."

After that…

The Beiliang Wolf Riders who were responsible for maintaining order all shouted down the people who were making noises and laughing, "Quiet! Quiet!"

"I didn't say this before, but after today... all of you here, as long as you listen to this class and gain some enlightenment! I, Li Jize, can guarantee that in the future, you will not only become pillars of the country, but also leave your names in history!"

Wow!

As soon as these words were spoken, the poor children below became excited, and they whispered and talked about it.

Being a pillar of the nation was already an exaggeration! Now he could even leave his name in history?

Why? They can’t even afford a bite of food, and yet they can leave their names in history?

"Is the King of Qin joking with us? How can we leave our names in history? It takes more than just a few words."

"Yes! We are people with nowhere else to go, seeking a place to stay. Why should we be mocked by the King of Qin for this?"

Finally, seeing that Li Jize was exaggerating more and more, these children from poor families could no longer bear the shame and started to complain one after another.

Li Jize curled his lips slightly. He looked at the anxious crowd and said, "I'm afraid you won't ask! You won't be angry! You've become numb to everything."

As long as there is still fire, there is still hope.

"Have you ever wondered why you've failed the exams after so many years?"

What else could be the reason for these words making a group of people blush?

No talent! I just can’t learn as well as others.

Looking at the scholars who were keeping silent and with their heads down, all blushing, Li Jize simply added fuel to the fire.

"Who was the top scorer in the new course last year?"

Immediately someone answered from below: "Ye Fucheng!"

After all, some of them must have taken the exam, so they naturally know who is at the top of the list.

But the next moment...

"Yes! Ye Xianggao's nephew Ye Fucheng!"

"Who is the third place winner?"

"Zhang Defu!"

"A relative of the Minister of Rites!"

"..."

"Second place! The godson of the Minister of Works!"

"..."

After blah blah blah went through the list of the top three scholars, the second and third place scholars, and the Jinshi scholars one by one...

The poor young men, who were originally too ashamed to speak and had their heads buried in their crotches, all had their eyes wide open and raised their heads higher and higher.

It was not until Li Jize listed all the events of the previous years that everyone who was sitting started to stand up, and some of them had red faces and thick necks, looking like they wanted to eat someone.
