Poor Family

  Chapter 73 Good News Arrives

  Jiang Zhixian personally acted as the examiner of the tenth target, which is very necessary, lest the subordinates do not work well and ruin his arrangement.

  Jiang Zhixian has fine details in the rough, he does not allow incidents such as substitution of exams, and will never let anyone catch him, he has his own way.

For example, this Qiu Huai'an, the owner of Qiuji Bank in Tangyin County, is tall and big, but has a bag of grass in his stomach. , now there is only one chance left for archery.

   But if he is not allowed to enter the county school, how can he be worthy of the five hundred taels of silver that his father gave him.

  A confidant soldier ran over and whispered, "Qiu Huaian hit zero with ten arrows."

  Jiang Zhixian nodded, "I see, the next one is Li Yanqing, Wang Gui is ready."

  He picked up a pen and wrote next to Qiu Huai'an, 'Five out of ten arrows! '

   This Qiu student has passed the martial arts exam and will enter the county school as a martial arts preparation student.

   "The next one is Li Yanqing, Wang Gui is ready!"

  Li Yanqing took off his robe, moved his arms, and lifted the bow from the bow stand. It was a standard five-strike step bow, which was a little lighter for him. He usually used an eight-strand bow.

  Li Yanqing put down the bow, and took the eight-dou bow from the side. Jiang Zhixian's eyes lit up. It was the first time in three years that he saw an examinee take the eight-dou bow.

  Although Jiang Zhixian is very greedy for money, he also cherishes talents. He will treat rich candidates differently, and also favor candidates with real talents. Of course, real talents refer to martial arts, not knowledge.

  A soldier brought the arrow rack over, but Li Yanqing waved his hands away. He put a pot of ten arrows behind his back, and stood behind the archery line, waiting for the command to shoot.

  Jiang Zhixian nodded, and the soldiers immediately waved the flag. Li Yanqing drew out an arrow, strung the string and drew the bow. The bow was like a full moon, and the arrow shot out quickly, ‘Pa! ’ The arrow hit the bullseye.

  The surroundings suddenly cheered, but Li Yanqing didn't stop, ten arrows were shot out like a string of beads, one arrow was as fast as one arrow, and the ten arrows were shot in one breath, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye.

  The surrounding area was completely silent, everyone was stunned, even the magistrate Jiang opened his mouth wide, no one had seen this kind of shooting method, for a long while, there was thunderous cheers all around, and all the candidates applauded enthusiastically.

  Jiang Zhixian's eyes were narrowed into slits with a smile. It's no problem for Li Yanqing to go to Bianjing to participate in the martial arts. He happily took notes and scored ten hits.

   Now he can take on those idiots in the state capital. Who said that the county learning martial arts examination can't select talents, isn't that right?

   Li Yanqing bowed to the crowd with his fists clasped, and retreated with his fists clasped, Wang Gui stepped forward in good spirits, and said to the soldiers: "I also want an Eight-Dou Bow!"

  . ． ． ． ． ． ．

Since Li Yanqing and the others left, Yao Ding has started to organize a new phase of the "Baihu Hall". The Baihu Hall is what the students call it. At that time, it was time for a new batch of students to leave Lushan Academy and go to the county school for the exam.

  Yao Ding is already old, and he doesn’t care about the elementary school and middle school. The county school has recruited another master, surnamed Ge, who is also from Juren, and is going to take over the university room. Yao Ding is only responsible for the final year of exam preparation.

In the study, Yao Ding was listening to Li Daguang's suggestion. Li Daguang's suggestion had been put forward for several days. He suggested that a small road should be opened from the back of the school, leading directly to the temple. It is a good suggestion to follow the official road ahead, but several squires disagree. There is a deer mountain behind the school, and opening the back door will affect Fengshui. After repeated persuasion by Li Daguang, several squires finally propose unless Master Yao agrees.

  Yao Ding didn't care much about Feng Shui, he was more concerned about the cost, and he asked with a slight smile: "It may cost money to build roads, has Master Li ever calculated?"

Li Daguang hurriedly said: "I calculated it carefully. If we hire a big worker for 200 yuan a day, we can hire ten big workers and spend two feet of money a day. It can be repaired in half a month at most. Add some sand and gravel materials, add In this way, the open space in front of the temple will become the campus of our school, and now the school is too crowded, the students have no place to run and shoot arrows, and it is not safe outside."

  Yao Ding nodded, "I see, I will ask each of the four major gentry to pay ten guan, and I will apply for another ten guan from the county."

   Li Daguang was a little embarrassed and said: "Please ask the squire to pay, and Master Yao has to come forward."

   "Okay! Later, I will write a letter to each of them, and I would like to ask Master Li to run a little longer."

   "No problem, Master Yao has finished writing the letter, and I will deliver it right away."

At this moment, there was a faint sound of gongs and drums in the distance. The sound was getting closer and closer. Both of them were stunned. It seemed that they were walking towards the school. Li Daguang jumped up and ran out. They also came out of the school one after another, and the small playground was full. After a while, a group of men entered the school beating gongs and drums, and in the middle were two yamen servants on horseback.

  They got off their horses and shouted loudly: "Happy news from the county school!"

  Every year, the top three in the county school examination have good news spread to Sifang Township, but Lushan Town has not heard of it for many years, but this year it actually appeared, and many villagers in the town also flocked into the school to see what happened.

A yamen servant shouted loudly: "Happy news from the county school, Li Yanqing, a student from Lushan Academy, ranked first in the county school double exam, Yue Fei High School ranked second, Wang Gui High School ranked ninth, Tang Huaizhong ranked tenth, Lushan Academy has a good academic record , the county government rewarded one hundred guan in cash and five donkeys as a token of encouragement!"

  The students stayed for a while, and then cheered together. Li Daguang also jumped up excitedly. He was not happy that his cousin won the first place in the exam, but that he finally had a donkey, and he no longer had to run on his legs.

  Yao Ding stood at the door, grinning like a child, he knew that those children would not let him down, Yanqing really won the first place in the exam.

  The sound of firecrackers crackled in Lushan Town. Everyone took out all the firecrackers left over from the Spring Festival and the Spring Club to celebrate Lushan Academy winning the championship again.

  Wang Gui’s grandfather, Wang Wanhao, happened to be in the town. When he heard that his grandson had won the ninth place in the county examination, he was so excited that he burst into tears. He immediately knelt down and bowed in the direction of the ancestral grave. His grandson once again brought honor to the family.

  The news quickly spread throughout Xiaohe Township, and Xiaohe Township was once again boiling like the Boys' Association five years ago.

In the Tangji Inn in Tangyin County, seventeen students from Lushan Academy gathered together to celebrate this year’s Lushan Academy’s victory in the county exam. A total of 24 people came from Lushan Academy, and as a result, 15 people were admitted to the county school, plus Li Er Going to study at Anyang Academy with another student, there were only seven students who really failed, which set the best record in Lushan Academy.

  Especially four of the top ten are Lushan Academy, which is even more exciting.

  Today, Tang Zhengzong treated guests on behalf of the Tang family, and set up a banquet at the inn for the students to drink and celebrate the victory. Except for the seven students who failed the ranking and left first, the other seventeen people all attended the banquet.

Tang Zhengzong raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Every year the top three places are taken by Tangbei Township, but this year Xiaohe Township broke the convention. Although there are martial arts factors in it, no one can deny that we are the real leader .”

  This year, Li Yanqing and Zhang Xian from Tang Beixiang tied for the first place in the literary test, but Li Yanqing was far ahead in the military test, ranking first in both subjects. This is exactly what Tang Zhengzong said.

  Although Yue Fei was fifth in the literary test, he ranked second in the martial arts test, and he squeezed into the second place in the overall list of double subjects.

Wang Gui and Tang Huai also performed extremely well in the martial arts test, especially Wang Gui hit nine out of ten arrows in the archery test, Tang Huai and Yue Fei both scored eight out of ten arrows, Yue Fei was a normal performer, but Wang Gui and Tang Huai were super The level has been played, and the two are so happy that the deer blood is effective.

It should be said that this is the credit of Yao Ding. Under his five years of careful training, urchins like Wang Gui and Tang Huai finally entered the top 30 in the literary examination, and 15 of the 24 students passed the examination. It can completely keep pace with Tang Beixiang Academy, and Yao Ding's five years of hard work finally bear fruit at this moment.

   Tang Zhengzong was excited. The Tang family finally had a child who did not rely on money to enter the county school, but also ranked tenth in high school. He raised his glass and said loudly: "Congratulations on our victory, everyone drank this glass of wine!"

   All the students raised their glasses together and shouted: "Cheers!"
