After the meal, Li Longji and the others left. Their purpose for coming over was clear, which was to stop Li Yi from contacting the officials of the Ministry of Personnel.
Li Yi turned around and called the forty-two students to class. They were going to teach mathematics.
He knew that the students were excited, so he wanted to use a math class to calm them down. After solving a few questions, they would naturally calm down.
In Empress Wang's car, Li Longji held a jar in his hand. It was filled with the chili sauce that Li Yi had changed.
Li Chengqi was also there. He lamented, "Today is the first time I know that a businessman can cheat an official like this."
"The most terrifying thing about uncle is that after getting rid of the official, he can still continue to take care of the people when he comes back. He doesn't focus on harming the people."
Empress Wang admitted that Li Yi was good to the people when she was still feeling sorry for the non-existent official.
Li Longji carefully put the jar aside, "When I said that I was going to teach him a lesson, he said that if the county magistrate was good, he should persuade me to cooperate with him and not hold a grudge.
It was only when I said that I had to teach him a lesson that he had to choose another method.
This shows that he cares about good officials, but when he has to make a choice, he always chooses to side with us. "
"Yes, the Black Tortoise Group doesn't need soft-heartedness." Empress Wang instantly felt sorry for the non-existent official.
Other people didn't dare to mention the Black Tortoise Group in front of Li Longji. Only Empress Wang didn't care. She had also experienced it.
It was a battle of life and death. Anyone who stood on the wrong side would be dealt with later.
Li Longji nodded. He was very satisfied with his Brother Yi today. Brother Yi would side with him on major issues.
His methods could be gentle or ruthless. At the same time, he would leave some leeway.
If he was forced to a certain extent, Brother Yi would probably be able to topple mountains and overturn seas.
"Third Brother, Sister-in-law, when Brother Yi gave an example, he said that he had a way to make hemp more valuable." Li Chengqi remembered something important.
"Didn't he say it?" Empress Wang didn't think much of it.
"No, no, Brother Yi promised that he had a way to make the hemp more valuable. When he said it, it was as if he was giving us advice, not making up a story."
Li Chengqi was sure that if he really wanted to deal with a county magistrate, he would ask Brother Yi to do it and Brother Yi would do as he said.
"I think so too." Li Longji agreed. Brother Yi had the skills, he just didn't show them.
"Are you serious?" Empress Wang was surprised. After a few breaths, she nodded. "Indeed. Uncle doesn't seem to be joking."
"Let's see how Wugong County handles things. The kiln can't survive. Make some arrangements for Brother Yi." Li Longji decided to act quickly.
He was anxious and wanted to prove himself with facts.
Zhuangzi didn't have any use for him. Zhuangzi's manor was Dongzhu's, and he would listen to whatever Dongzhu said.
Migrant workers were similarly unpresentable. At that time, the migrant workers were unable to make a living and were obedient as long as they were given food to eat.
The Zhang family's life in the village was better. Every family had a lot of spare money and was preparing to build a house this year. Li Yi was in charge of a large sum of money.
If they collected business tax, the income of a village was more than that of a county.
However, a village was just a village. They could only tell the officials about the changes in the county.
Once Wugong County was established, why couldn't other counties do the same? The officials were incompetent?
The team still went through Chunming Gate. Li Chengqi was going to the East Market to dig a well there …
The officials of the Ministry of Personnel returned home one after another. They took out the good things in the big boxes and big baskets of greenhouse vegetables for their families to see.
Today, the officials were quite satisfied with the 42 examinees. They spoke clearly and generously, and their handwriting was not bad.
Especially after a long period of training, their bodies were strong and their expressions were resolute.
If they were asked about their literary talent, they would probably be passable, especially their speed of reciting rhymes.
If they casually composed a poem and disregarded everything else, the time they spent on the rhyme was very short.
Thus, it would be easy for them to pass the examination. No one could say anything.
The topic of policy should be closely followed by the current affairs. Now that the Tang dynasty was in the current situation, it should not be bad.
The officials of the Ministry of Personnel were evaluating the risk. If their performance was bad, how could they be admitted? There were so many scholars looking at them.
Now that they were relieved, they went home to show off the good things.
Their homes were all in Chang 'an. Even if they did not have money to buy a house, they had to rent a house.
They could not live outside the city. It was easy to miss the court meeting outside the city. If they worked overtime at night, they would not be able to get out of the city.
Cui Riyong returned home happily. When the family learned that the head of the family had returned, they all welcomed him.
"Just put it at the door. Sorry to trouble you." Cui Riyong was polite to the villagers who delivered the things.
The villagers also gave him three baskets of vegetables. He only saw it when he got on the car.
And along the way, the villagers did not say anything. They looked like they came from a big family. Besides, the clothes they wore were not bad. They could not be treated as ordinary villagers in Zhuangzi.
The villagers returned the greeting, left the baskets, got on the car, turned around, and returned to Zhuangzi.
As soon as the door of Cui Riyong's house was closed, a big box and four baskets were placed on the ground.
"Cui Riyong, did Her Majesty reward you with something again?" Cui Riyong's wife came over and looked at the vegetables in the baskets.
"How could Her Majesty … remember me? But these vegetables, one of the baskets was personally picked by me in the greenhouse. Ba Shui Li Family Zhuangzi."
Cui Riyong wanted to ask why Her Majesty would give him baskets of things, but he realized that he could not say so and changed his words.
He pointed to a basket of vegetables to show off. "Look, I went to the field to eat good food for our family."
The people next to him came over to lift the basket and left the box untouched. The vegetables were taken away. The family could not finish eating, so they had to choose and give gifts.
"Use the things in this box." Cui Riyong said to his wife as he opened the box himself.
His wife took a look and her face changed, "Cui Riyong, there are so many good things. You can't take them. You are about to take the imperial examination."
"It will be troublesome if I don't take them. Those that should be ordered have been ordered. These sanitary pads can't be bought. They are for women."
Cui Riyong said with a smile. He took the sanitary pads first. He did not feel that there was anything wrong with a husband getting good sanitary pads for his wife.
His wife was the same. When she heard that it was not a problem, she quickly closed the box and asked someone to carry it into the bedroom.
She chased the others out and pulled Cui Riyong to look through the box.
Everything that was popular in the capital was in the box.
Beautiful bamboo boxes were opened one by one. Inside, there was a piece of soap with a plum blossom printed on it.
Looking at the box, there were words engraved on it, "Plum blossoms in the corner, I bloom alone." Knowing that it is not snow, there is a hidden fragrance.
"Cui Riyong, look at the poem on the box." Cui Riyong said as he touched the words on the box.
Cui Riyong took a look and shook his head, "Li Yi, you really don't take talent for talent. Writing a poem about the fragrance of plum blossoms, this soap must be the fragrance of plum blossoms."
"Cui Riyong, Li Yi is going to take the imperial examination this year? Can you give him a helmet? "Cui Riyong's wife thought that it was because of this, so she took many benefits.
"Him? He is not taking the imperial examination this year, at least not in February. If he wants to take the imperial examination, whenever he says he wants to, the imperial court will give him a special examination.
He is now a fourth ranked imperial physician, who dares to stop him? If he takes the imperial examination, I cannot be the examiner. "
Cui Riyong shook his head. He did not think that he had the right to participate in Li Yi's examination. So what if he was the Minister of Personnel Affairs?
"Now that his poems are being passed around, if he takes the imperial examination, I believe it will be successful." Cui Riyong's wife took out the items from the box.
"It has nothing to do with the poems. No matter how good the poems are, if it is not recorded, it will not be recorded. Li Yi … whether he takes the imperial examination or not, it makes no difference. "
Cui Riyong picked up the bottle of toilet water and opened it to smell. It smelled good!
