Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

When Qiu Fan received the news from Lin Shu, he immediately began to prepare.

He decided to do the same not only for Wangyue Tower, but also for his own properties.

You have to know that this is the imperial examination, an opportunity to make the leap from a carp to a dragon.

If you can help future high-ranking officials, maybe you will get more benefits someday.

Of course, he did this not just for this reason.

There are so many people taking the imperial examinations that the capital city will definitely be overcrowded.

There is definitely not enough manpower, so adding helpers can accommodate more customers and reduce some taxes at the same time.

Setting up a porridge stall can earn you a good reputation and the favor of the people, so it can be said that it has only benefits and no harm.

"The princess's ideas are indeed unique." He murmured, his eyes full of admiration for Lin Shu.

The emperor's policy had been promulgated for several days, and many businessmen had figured out the key to it.

Preparations have already been made early.

Many people were also envious and expressed their desire to make money.

After hearing the voices of the people, Qiu Fan immediately handed the letter to Lin Shu.

They had been together for so long that he probably had a good understanding of Lin Shu's temper.

She is willing to listen to the voices of the people and also willing to give them advice.

Lin Shu finished his martial arts training, sweating profusely. Just as he sat down to rest, he received a letter from Qiu Fan.

When Lin Shu read the contents, he immediately had an idea in his mind.

She stretched out her hand to Eunuch Deli and laughed.

"De Xiaoli, I'm tired. Please carry me to find daddy."

Eunuch Deli looked helpless and carried Lin Shu to the emperor.

When Lin Shu met the emperor, he handed Qiu Fan's letter to him.

After the emperor read the contents of the letter and looked at Lin Shu's expectant expression, he knew that Lin Shu had already come up with an idea.

"If you have an idea, just say it."

"You're still hesitant with Daddy."

Lin Shu immediately said, "Dad, we can actually provide guidance for the people on how to make money."

"With so many candidates, the restaurants and inns in the capital may not have enough accommodation."

"It's entirely possible for people with vacant rooms in their homes to rent them out for short periods of time."

"But for safety reasons, those who want to do this can first report to the government office for registration."

“Then send someone to check whether it is true.”

"By then, candidates who have nowhere to live can have accommodation arranged for them through the government office."

"This not only ensures the safety of the candidates, but also ensures that the certificates will not be stolen."

"After all, if something like this really happens, we can quickly find the candidates who are staying in the hotel through registration."

"Daddy, what do you think?"

"People are quite busy at this time. If the candidates are willing to go to the fields or help with farm work at home."

“People can be charged less or their food standards can be improved.”

"This way, no one loses, right?"

The emperor thought for a long time and raised his own questions.

"The people's houses are of varying quality, so how can we determine the charging standards?"

Lin Shu scratched his head and thought for a moment.

"We can let the city government regulate it, and the price should be slightly lower than the normal price."

"It's better to set standards for food and not mess around. Otherwise, candidates can report to the municipal government, and the people will have to accept the fines."

Lin Shu paused here and said, "Perhaps we can set up several sets of standards. First of all, the accommodation standard, the municipal department will uniformly review and determine whether it is high, medium or low."

"If the examinee is required to do housework, the price is how much. If he is required to farm, the price is how much. If he does not need to do anything, the price is how much. Let the people choose for themselves, and how much the different requirements can deduct from the expenses."

"If there are candidates who are lazy or slacking off, as long as the public reports it and the situation is true, we can deduct points from the candidates."

"After all, these little things can be done by people who are cunning and cunning. If you become an official, I'm afraid it will be even more serious."

The emperor nodded and added to Lin Shu's ideas.

"A mechanism of mutual supervision can be set up so that businesses dare not deduct wages. Candidates can also work well."

Lin Shu immediately smiled.

"Daddy is still very thoughtful."

“I just don’t know if we have enough manpower.”

The emperor chuckled, "This is not simple. Before, the imperial guards were on duty in rotation, and there are many idle jobs in the imperial city."

"Send them out when the time comes. Especially Shao Feng, who is idle all day and likes to join in the fun. Let him keep an eye on them when the time comes. I'm afraid he can replace several people by himself."

Lin Shu laughed out loud and listened to the emperor continue speaking.

"It just so happens that we have trained a new batch of secret guards, so it's a good opportunity to let them go out and test the waters."

"Let them supervise both sides. And see what they can do."

Lin Shu immediately felt relieved.

It seems that there should be no shortage.

One month before the imperial examination, countless candidates arrived in the capital.

They were impressed by the magnificence of the imperial city and also saw something different.

Before entering the city, they heard someone repeatedly reading out the rules for entering the city.

There were even guards distributing instructions for them to enter the city.

On the paper, you can clearly see where to find accommodation, where to eat, and which agency to go to if the restaurant or inn is full.

Not only that, it also clearly states where there are free porridge stalls where one can get porridge, where there is free simple medical treatment, where there are consultation points, and where there are help points.

It even lists several major recruiting locations and the corresponding wages.

At the end, it also states where to go to report different people or businesses.

The candidates who were originally terrified suddenly felt relieved after seeing these.

They felt the emperor's attention to them and were deeply moved.

Those candidates who had originally prepared to eat coarse food and rely on their own dry food to survive suddenly became excited.

They looked at the instructions in their hands again and again, wondering where to apply first so that they could earn more money.

But as soon as they entered the city, they found that they didn't have to run so far at all.

There were several tables set up at the city gate, which were sent by the companies that were recruiting people.

As long as they register at the city gate, someone will take them to the corresponding work location.

For a time, the capital was extremely lively, and most people were very satisfied with the imperial examination system.

It not only provides opportunities for students, but also allows them to make some money during this period.

Although some people who need help don’t earn much, at least they can relax a little.

The merchants were even more excited. At the end of the day, they found that although they had hired the candidates, the money they earned in one day was equivalent to the money they had earned in the previous few days, and they could also pay less taxes.

They were so happy that they almost couldn't sleep.

They wish they could hold the imperial examination every month.

Most businessmen take it seriously and dare not cheat, but there are always one or two who don't believe in it.

Want to exploit poor scholars who have no money.

However, Lin Shu would not tolerate them at all and immediately ordered the imperial guards to close the man's shop.

Not only were all the previously agreed policies cancelled, but the store was even closed for a month and could not be reopened until the candidates for the imperial examination returned home.

Even in the second year of the imperial examination, even if one abided by the rules, one could not enjoy the corresponding benefits.
