Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Jia Zheng didn't take any action for a while, so Tan Chun started to do snack business with Li Wan, which made money quickly.

During their time in the Imperial College, they were not without gains.

Imperial College, also known as Imperial College, was originally used by the royal family to win over elites.

From the very beginning, it was to recruit more children of distinguished officials and officials for unified training. Coupled with a small number of high-quality disciples from poor families and scholars from landlords and petty officials, they jointly maintained the imperial rule of the feudal dynasty.

Therefore, most of the students in the Imperial College were either rich or noble. If they were good at studying and acquiring talents, they would be able to ensure the prosperity of the country.

It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. No matter how good the system is, it will change if it develops later. The place that originally received the country's elite also began to harbor filth and evil.

For example, Jia Rong, because of the influence of his ancestors, was born with a quota for supervising students. He was exempted from two examinations and could directly take the imperial examination.

But where did he come from to study at the Imperial College?

Nowadays, everyone knows that although the Imperial College has famous teachers, it does not have many students. Even serious reading families have their own bookstores and study by family.

Regardless of whether they were civil servants or martial arts families, they all chose to give up their study quota in the Imperial College and only enclose the land to support themselves.

In addition to the uneven academic performance of his children, the other reason is that there are more "stupid people" in the Imperial College.

These "mud-legged people" are not ordinary farmers, but scholars from the small landlord class. In addition, there are a small number of disciples from poor families who are dependent on officials and people who "borrow their studies".

"I really don't go out and don't know these strange things."

Li Wan and Tan Chun found a hidden box and looked at the crowd outside through the cracks in the window.

"This is the first time I've heard of such a thing!"

Li Wan's face was full of contempt. She was the daughter of a serious scholar. She only knew that books had their own golden houses, that books had their own beauty, and that reading was valuable. How could she ask others to help her learn?

"Now that officials can be sold for money, how can they not sell their study places?"

Tanchun explained with a smile, "After all, this kind of situation is in the minority. With all this money, most of them go to buy an official position. How can they really come to study in order to learn real skills?"

"It's just that some distinguished students don't like studying, so they hire someone to do it for them. When the sign-in is full, they don't need to take the serious scientific examination, they just use it to build a good reputation and get married."

"And some poor families are not necessarily poor families. Anyway, these unknown people have no chance to meet famous teachers, so they buy schools opportunistically. When they are taught by famous teachers, they then use their names to take scientific examinations, and they can also become famous teachers. High disciple."

Tanchun felt that this group of people were really smart. Although they borrowed the name, the skills they learned were real.

Moreover, it can also break the information barrier and make friends with officials and officials in advance, which can only be said to have a lot of benefits and no harm.

After hearing this, Li Wan understood when he thought of Jia Rong and other Jia family children.

For people like Jia Rong who don't like studying, the quota for prison students will be left open. But if the Jia family has a smart and talented son from a poor family, and they can establish a good relationship with Jia Rong, they can use this quota to make friends with famous teachers.

Fortunately, her Jialan status was high and she didn't need to rely on this method to advance. Besides, the person she borrowed from him was really not a bad person.

"How did the girl think of recruiting such a person?"

Li Wan said: "Aren't we going to be in the snack business in the future? How much contact can we have with people like them?"

This is a lot of dealings, and Tanchun did this to kill three birds with one stone.

"These people are poor but have high ambitions. They take advantage of opportunities and make friends easily. If we are doing business, shouldn't we find people who are popular to help us spread the word?"

Tanchun and Li Wan inspected the vicinity of Taixue and found that there were many restaurants and teahouses here. There are several bookstores in a row, all with large backgrounds.

But scholars must be rich or poor. If you can study, your family will definitely not be poor.

In addition, it is also close to Gongyuan, where the examination is held, so there will definitely be more people taking the scientific examination every year in the future.

All you need is human traffic.

Together with Li Wan, she planned to open two shops at once.

One specializes in making exquisite pastries and selling them to wealthy students. They specialize in good omens and gift pastries.

The milk cakes and the like are also popular with rich wives and daughters.

The other is to make fast-paced hamburger buns. This thing is easy to be imitated, but it is enough for serving as a book boy to serve young men.

Even poor students can rely on this to make a living.

Since farming has not yet formed a system, those who can eat meat today are only wealthy families. But Tanchun knew how to make a fortune by raising pigs, chickens, and rabbits on a large scale.

What she lacks now, apart from antibiotics, is no reliable farmland.

So she simply found a village to raise rabbits. As long as the rabbits are prevented from burrowing and escaping, the rabbit meat can still be supplied.

Now she has found rabbit seedlings and has been raising them for two months.

Fortunately, it is spring, and there is no shortage of grass for this rabbit to eat.

But she can't take things one step at a time, especially when doing business. She also has to prevent the rabbit from freezing due to the cold winter, so she is eagerly looking forward to Jia Zheng's purchase of land soon!

Tanchun was very strange in this matter.

Jia Zheng is undoubtedly ambitious, otherwise he would not be so shameless as to live in the main hall of Rongguo Mansion.

But in his character, he also has the kind of chronicity of a civil servant, who pays attention to everything well-informed and has the gentlemanly style of not being hasty or slow.

He was obviously tempted by Tanchun's previous talk about buying land, but in the past few months, he had been huddled in the study chatting with Qing Ke and grinding his teeth, but there was no action.

Tanchun was so impatient with the wait that he had to plan to find a few young students to stimulate his old man.

This is why she asked Li Wan to find an excuse and tell him the reason for the inspection.

After finding a broker and getting to know the influential figures in Taixue, Tanchun was optimistic about two or three people and then prepared for the next move.

Time was tight, and if she was the only one, she wouldn't have to worry about whether she would starve to death.

But if you want to do something, you have to figure it out.

By the time Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden for the second time, the world would be hit by a locust plague. If you want the world to be peaceful for a longer period of time, you must plan ahead.

Now Jia Zheng is indeed thinking about this matter, but he is thinking about it one level more than Tanchun.

Although he is in a different position, Jia Zheng is an official first.

To be an official, one must be an upright official, and he must think carefully about doing things like competing for benefits with the people.

When the ancestors of the Jia family fought against the emperor, most of the land they divided was in their hometown and border areas.

Later, due to the issue of relocating the capital, the two houses of Ning and Rong did not compete with each other and purchased land in Kyoto.

There were two reasons at that time. First, they thought that the emperor could reward them. Second, the ancestors of the Jia family wanted to retire at that time, so they did not buy land in the capital.

At that time, I thought that it would be great to have an Iron Supervisor Temple. Taking up too much land is also inviting trouble.

It's just that the ancestors of the Jia family couldn't imagine that their descendants would be ineffective. Not only would they have no future, they would also have no plans.
