The shameless female county magistrate shocked the government and the public

Yu Jiuer turned around and found that the female soldiers were wiping their tears behind her, so she asked, "Is the capital a place with abundant supplies and a lot of money?"

The eldest lady nodded: "Yes!"

Yu Jiuer: "Then when I go out, I have to collect some money for the people, right?"

The female soldiers were silent. Yu Wushuang was always in a state of disgrace every time she came back from the imperial examination. The capital was so far away, it was good enough that she didn't starve to death on the way. How could she dare to have such extravagant expectations?

Yu Jiuer continued, "Also, if I am lucky enough to meet the emperor, should I be bold enough to ask the emperor to modify the Yinshan Contract? It would be good to allow the people who have served in the army to return to farming!"

The female soldiers widened their eyes in disbelief: "......"

Everyone knows why the people of Yinshan County were demoted to slavery.

It is said that forty years ago, the ancestors of Yinshan colluded with people from the Western Regions to invade the Dadong Dynasty from the Yinshan area, resulting in the northwest of the Dadong Dynasty being occupied by the Western Regions for nearly ten years. Later, the imperial court made every effort to drive out the Western Regions people and recovered most of the land. Since then, the people of Yinshan have been demoted to criminal slaves to atone their sins.

Twenty years ago, the late emperor signed the Yinshan Contract, and the people of Yinshan returned to being good citizens.

This is already the greatest gift to Yinshan County. Who would dare to make any demands?

But Yu Jiuer is born with a rebellious nature. She doesn't want to be passive anymore, and doesn't want to worry about being demoted to a slave one day. She wants to overthrow the inherent rules of Yinshan County and no longer live a miserable life!

----------

The next day.

Yu Jiuer set out for the capital to take the exam as planned.

Following Yu Jiuer were her maid Yu Tao and bodyguard Cheng An. These two had been to the capital with Yu Wushuang to take the imperial examination and had experience.

The changes at home were not concealed from these two confidants. Before leaving, everyone repeatedly asked Yutao and Chengan to always supervise Yujiuer to read and study, and to curb her greedy and lazy nature.

Yu Jiuer couldn't help but hold her forehead when she heard this. The original owner's unlikable personality was really deeply rooted in people's hearts!

The eldest lady held Yu Jiuer's hand and reminded him again: "Jiuer, Yu Tao is three years older than you. She is calm and careful. You should listen to her more when you are outside. Remember! Don't be greedy and read books diligently!"

Yu Jiuer didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't worry, mother! I have changed my ways!"

The original owner was indeed a cause for concern in the past. She was hated by everyone, except her twin brother who was infinitely indulgent towards her.

But now even my brother is gone!

After the unexpected incident, the eldest lady suddenly looked much older. She solemnly handed a heavy bag of silver to Yu Jiuer and said, "My family has tightened their belts for a year and saved up 130 taels of silver. Add the 150 taels donated by the people, a total of 280 taels. Take it all!"

With two people supervising, they don't have to worry about Yu Jiuer spending money recklessly or running away with the money.

The Yinshan people suffered discrimination outside. Without documents issued by the government, they could not survive outside and finally had to return home.

After taking the purse, Yu Jiuer felt extremely heavy. This was the expectation of everyone in Yinshan, and she had a long way to go!

However, isn’t this a bit too much money for the exam?

According to the prices in the Dadong Dynasty, one tael of silver is equivalent to one hundred yuan in modern times, so here it is twenty-eight thousand yuan. Is it necessary to spend so much?

Did she win everyone's trust just because she showed a little talent?

Yu Jiuer knew in her heart that it was not the case!

But she was smart enough not to ask. The original owner had never been to the capital, and in her impression, her brother would spend all the family savings every time he went to the capital to take the exam.

I failed the exam the first two times and came back like a beggar.

Forget it, just take them all! There is no need to be pretentious at this time. With the capital in hand, maybe she can find a business opportunity and make money.

The carriage set off slowly, and the people came out to see it off. The blessings for the eldest son's success in the imperial examination spread from one end of the avenue to the other, like waves of wheat in autumn, rolling to the distance with hope.

Two months later.

Yu Jiuer finally arrived in the prosperous capital.

She drew aside the curtain and her eyes were attracted by a dog standing at the door of the restaurant in front of her. What attracted her was not the expensive fur coat on the dog, but the food in its bowl.

That was the pork ribs rice that the people of Yinshan County could not afford to eat in their entire lives.

"The rich feast, but the poor have no food or clothing!" Yu Jiuer pointed at the restaurant and said to Cheng An, "Let's stay the night there!"

Cheng An looked in the direction she pointed and almost jumped up in shock: "That's the Sunset Restaurant, how can we afford to stay there?"

"Don't we have silver? We only spent about forty taels on the journey."

Yu Tao withdrew her gaze from the pork chop rice and said in a very serious tone, "Based on past experience, if we stayed at the Sunset Restaurant, we would definitely have to beg to get home! Young Master, you should be more restrained in your previous temper!"

There was blame and helplessness in his tone.

Yu Jiuer rubbed her forehead. It seemed that the original owner had left a very bad impression on them. Even though she had studied hard along the way, she couldn't improve her impression.

Arriving at the inn that poor students could afford, Yu Jiuer looked at the food on the table and began to doubt her life: "Is this all you're going to eat?"

During this journey, in order to become as familiar with the ancient imperial examination as possible, she seized the time to read books and ate hard biscuits for more than two months, okay?

Can’t you just have a good meal?

Yu Tao said stiffly, "There are too many things to pay for the palace exam, so we have to save money! If we fail the palace exam, it will be hard to even get a white flour bun like this! Now, we just have to avoid starving to death!"

Yu Jiuer knew that she was not liked by everyone in the past, but now she has reformed. There is no need to be so rude to her, right?

She grabbed the steamed bun and ate it silently, her eyes flickering slightly, thinking about something in her mind.

Yutao glanced at Yujiuer, who was lying on the table with a fierce look in her eyes, biting the steamed bun with all her strength. She did not have the slightest bit of the refined image that a scholar should have.

She tried to hold it in, but couldn't help it. She cleared her throat and reminded him, "Ahem, sit properly and eat properly. Don't tarnish the reputation of the eldest master!"

Yu Jiuer felt like crying but had no tears. She was a little annoyed. Damn the rules and etiquette.

But she had to endure it. Even though Yutao was a little pedantic and rigid, she had managed everything in order and took good care of her. She couldn't ask for too much.

People! You have to make achievements before you are qualified to make demands!

It's just that the fate of this world is really unfair.

Why should a dog eat better than her?

Yu Jiuer finished her meal and went back to her room to read. She had to work harder to thoroughly understand the content of the ancient imperial examination.

Fortunately, she has been able to read quickly since she was young, otherwise it would be difficult to rely solely on the knowledge in the original owner's head.

Yutao didn't know that Ninth Girl was arguing with a dog. She only knew that Ninth Girl suddenly changed her character and became hardworking. This made her feel a little guilty. She wondered if she was too harsh on Ninth Girl.

Before the exam, Yutao ran around and made arrangements like a pro, spending 180 taels of silver to get Yujiuer into the examination room smoothly.

Now, Yu Jiuer suddenly understood.

Why would the eldest lady spend all her family's savings to help her take the exam? It turned out that she wanted to feed these snobs who only picked on the people from Yinshan Mountain!

Why didn't other candidates spend so much money? This is really too much!

Fortunately, I entered the examination room smoothly. Success or failure depends on this!

Yu Jiuer had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the examination room for three days, which made her deeply realize the difficulty of the ancient imperial examination.

There were still seven days before the results were announced. After the exam, Yu Jiuer slept for a whole day and a night before she came to her senses. She finally realized how difficult it was for her brother.

After getting up, Yutao spent a lot of money to bring Yujiuer a bowl of pork rib soup and a big chicken leg.

"Is this... picking up money?" Yu Jiuer was a little flattered.

Yu Tao: "I don't have such good luck. I have to make up for the hard work of the exam. Let's tighten our belts after this meal!"

"Not so bad, right?"

Yu Tao counted on her fingers and began to calculate: "Two hundred and eighty taels minus the forty-three taels I spent on the journey, the one hundred and eighty taels I spent on the package, the eight days' food and lodging at the inn I spent eleven taels, and there are still six days before the results are announced, so I have to spend at least another seven taels, so how much is left?"

Yu Jiuer blurted out: "Thirty-nine taels!"

"Do you think thirty-nine taels is enough for the fare home?" Yutao asked back.

The chicken leg in Yu Jiuer's mouth fell out, and instantly it no longer tasted delicious.

No!

She has to find a way to make money!

If she passed the palace examination, she would have enough silver to buy grain and plant it in Yinshan.

The agriculture in Yinshan County is very backward, and the crop yield is extremely low. If we are unfortunate enough to encounter a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, wouldn't the entire Yinshan County be wiped out?

She has to find a way to increase food production!

Furthermore, if she failed the palace examination, she would have to make plans early. After all, it would be easier to do things with money in hand, and at least she would suffer less when she was demoted to a slave to build the Great Wall!

But how to make money?

Her two intelligent heads turned quickly, and suddenly stopped.

Yu Jiuer started to eat the chicken leg with peace of mind again.

Cheng An, who was standing by, almost cried: "Ms. Jiu, we have to beg to go home, why are you still eating so happily?"

"Cheng'an! No matter if there is someone here or not, there is only the eldest young master here! Be careful next time!" Yu Jiuer's expression was serious.

It is better to be safe than sorry. If her identity were to be known to outsiders, it would be a disaster!

"I know my fault for my humble position!"

"Don't worry! We won't beg to go home. I have a way!" Yu Jiuer lowered her head and continued to chew.

Yu Tao was horrified: "We can't commit crimes!"

Cheng An: "The results have not been announced yet. We'd better behave ourselves during this special period!"

We don't believe you!

Yu Jiuer sighed, wiped her hands, walked to the desk, and cut a piece of white paper into several small strips.

Then write the words: donkey, pot, one liter of rice, thank you for your patronage... respectively.
