The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

In addition, there is Boguxuan's shopkeeper Qiu, who was also invited by Jiang Ziyan to discuss business in the past, because he didn't like Jiang Ziyan's paper mill at the beginning, because his paper mill looked dirty in the west of the city, and the scale was also small , didn't pay attention to this matter at all.

But now seeing the popularity of the new plain paper, he is really envious.In the dead of night, when he was lying on the bed, he would think, if he had taken over the business and made a lot of money today, would it be his shop.

It's a pity that time can't be turned back, and he didn't regret that he could take the medicine. Looking at the increasingly deserted shop, he could only sigh.

Today is the middle of the month, that is, No.14, which happens to be the day when plain paper is on sale.

Cheng Jin didn't go home last night, and just rested in the backyard of the shop.Now that the newly released plain paper is so popular, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no young people or villains secretly tripping him up, so he has to pay attention.

It is also thanks to Cheng Jin's all-round strict defense, he gave a clear account every hour, and all the warehouses are locked, so that no one with evil intentions can succeed.

Among them were the people sent by Shopkeeper Feng and Shopkeeper Qiu, but they all returned without success.

They couldn't steal anything, and they couldn't destroy it. The two of them got angry in a hurry, and shopkeeper Qiu had a big blister on the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Ziyan's side was going very smoothly. The paper mill was already on the right track. He didn't have to keep an eye on it all the time, so he could free up time to do other things.

Some time ago, Han Yuxiu measured him, Lin Xing, and Mrs. Cen, and went to the street to buy a few catties of cotton and came back, ready to start making winter clothes for them.

Lin Zhao has been staying in the academy to study at ease since he came back once before, and when he comes back next time, it should be Chinese New Year.His winter clothes were all padded jackets that others had already made, and Jiang Ziyan asked him to bring two or three of them.

The big test in the academy was going on as scheduled, and the questions were from easy to difficult, covering all the knowledge that might be involved in the imperial examination.The exam lasted for three days. After one day of each exam, the students returned to the dormitory to review for a while at night, and then continued the exam the next day.

After the exam, it was already the afternoon of the third day. The exam disrupted the sequence of the exam room, and Chen Mian and Lin Zhao were not in the same room.In the afternoon, Chen Mian returned to the dormitory after the exam.

Seeing Lin Zhao, he couldn't help being overjoyed, hugged him and howled, "Third brother, you are amazing! You have basically passed all the questions you bet on me, and I did well this time. I think this It’s no problem staying in the same class with you two for the first time! But, how did you guess? You can guess so accurately! I admire you so much!”

At this time, Yang Su also just came back from the exam. Hearing what Chen Mian said, he also said: "I also admire it. Eighty percent of the questions in this exam have been guessed by the third brother. I also want to know how you Guess."

If it wasn't for getting along with him day and night, eating and sleeping together, and knowing that he studies hard and diligently, Yang Su would have suspected that he had read the test papers in advance.

Lin Zhao put down the things in his hands and said: "This is very simple. I read all the test papers issued by the masters of the college's big test in the past year in advance, and also looked at the scientific test questions over the years, and found that there are great similarities. This time it is just It's a gamble, a blind cat meets a dead mouse."

"You, you, you, don't be humble. There were so many questions in the big test last year, plus the amount of questions in the previous year's scientific exam. We have only been here for more than a month. You have read all of them and Summed it up?"

"Well. Fortunately, the masters didn't change the strategy of the question this time, so they got it right."

Chen Mian was dumbfounded. Is this the legendary Xueba?As far as this learning ability is concerned, he can't even match it.

Yang Su also admired it very much when he heard it, and at the same time, there was a trace of envy.He thinks that his learning ability is better than most people, but he is not as good as Lin Zhao.In the past, he didn't really believe in talent, but he firmly believed that hard work can make up for one's weakness.

But now, he has only come to the academy for more than a month, and he has seen Lin Zhao's ability, and he secretly feels that in terms of study, he, the No.

The scariest thing in this world is that some people are more talented than you but work harder than you. Such people often have strong perseverance and self-discipline, which is beyond the reach of others.

In just two days, the results of the big test came out.After each big test, there will be a ranking. The people in the whole school will rank, write their names on the red list and post it on the wall of the academy.

Because there are a lot of people in the hospital, several pages have to be written every time the red list, but everyone's habit is to read the name on the first one.

Among the three people in Lin Zhao's dormitory, Chen Mian likes to watch the fun the most.Before the red list was posted, he stood by the wall and waited in advance.

But he didn't look at No.1 first, but looked for his name on the first one.Although he is very confident after answering the questions this time, he will feel at ease after seeing the list anyway.

After searching around, I finally found my name on the first one.He was relieved when he saw the name. Fortunately, the class was saved.

Then he went to look for the names of Yang Su and Lin Zhao, whose names were much easier to find than his.When he saw the name, he was very surprised, because Lin Zhao's name was ranked first on the first page, and Yang Su was counted three or four.

Lin Zhao actually took the No. 1 exam in this big test as a freshman.

This surprised him so much.

And he was not the only one who was surprised. After the red list was posted, everyone who came to see the list was surprised.

If there hadn't been such a thing as the Dou Shihui before, these people might not know who Lin Zhao is.But with that incident first, everyone now knows that No. 1 in this big quiz is the one who won Shi Maocai in the poetry competition last time.

After the announcement, what everyone should discuss is:

"Who is this Lin Zhao? Have you never heard of it?"

"It seems to be a freshman coming to the academy this year."

"This person is very powerful. He directly overwhelmed the first place in the previous session."

...

Now it becomes:

"Oh my God, this Lin Zhao is too good, isn't he? Not only did he beat Shi Maocai in the Poetry Competition, but he also crushed the previous No.1."

"Yes, yes, this person is too strong. Not only is he good at learning, but he is also good at composing poetry. With Shi Maocai's level, how did he summon up the courage to compete with others in poetry?"

"That's right. Hey buddy, please tell me the details of the last poem competition. I was sick and didn't show up that day. When I came back, my roommates didn't tell the truth, so I just mentioned it. Tell me carefully! "

"No problem, let me tell you, that day..."

In the crowd, Shi Maocai looked at the first name on the first red list with hatred in his eyes. It’s all right that this person is better than him in poetry, but why did he beat them in this big test? Those who are studying in the academy A year old student?You must know that he only kept his No.2 throne this time, and he has studied a year longer than him.

For Shi Maocai, it doesn't matter that Lin Zhao got the No. Because of grievances, I was surprised that Lin Zhao's colleague who won the first place did not forget to bring up the matter of his loss again and again, which made him lose face in front of the whole school.

This man was born to be his nemesis, and he came to the academy to defeat him.He clenched his fists secretly, vowing in his heart that he would get rid of this evil.

Lin Zhao, a freshman, actually did better than those old students in the exam, which really earned a lot of face for this year's freshmen.

However, this also made those old students lose face, no, several old students in the dormitory have gathered together to talk about the big test, and Shi Maocai was among them.

I only heard one of them say: "This Lin Zhao is obviously a freshman, why is it that it's only been over a month, and he is actually better than our old student No. 1?"

There was a very unconvinced answering person below: "Who knows? I don't believe that he took the test based on his own ability. In terms of learning, our Brother Mao is not better than him?"

"I'd say he's read the title eight out of nine times out of ten."

"How do you say that?"

The man quietly lowered his voice and said, "I heard from a freshman who was close to Chen Mian in their dormitory that Chen Mian asked Lin Zhao to ask Lin Zhao to ask questions before the exam."

"According to Chen Mian, Lin Zhao hit [-]% of the questions he pressed."

"Fuck, so powerful?"

"Historically, the masters jointly set the questions in the big test. If he hadn't read the questions in advance, how could he guess so many questions? And this time he directly got the first place in the test. It really hurts the faces of us old students!"

Shi Maocai, who was on the side, had been sitting there since he arrived, and at this moment he heard their conversation and agreed very much. He felt more and more in his heart that Lin Zhao must have read the questions in advance this time to get the first place in the exam.If he was caught cheating, his reputation would be ruined.

He was distracted thinking, when someone next to him tugged on his sleeve, "Brother Mao? Brother Mao?"

Although Shi Maocai is not very old, even younger than some of them, but his uncle is an acquaintance, and he does well in the big test on weekdays. In the eyes of others, he can pass the imperial examination 100% , I will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future, and I will make friends if I can make friends now, so they all agree to recognize him as the boss and call him Brother Mao.

Shi Maocai came back to his senses and said, "What's wrong?"

The man said, "What do you think of our proposal just now?"

Shi Maocai was distracted just now and didn't hear clearly, and said, "How about what?"

"Just now, everyone suggested that the masters jointly write a letter to raise the objections of all of us. What do you think?"

"Well said! Let's go to the head of the mountain."

The head of the mountain is the dean of the academy, and he is responsible for teaching them the Four Books.

When they arrived at Shanzhang's room, Shi Maocai explained the reason for their visit, and finally said: "Shanzhang, please confirm for us whether this test is fair."

Shan Chang was a little short, with a hunchback, and said with his hands behind his back: "Okay, I understand what you said, and I will give you old students an answer tomorrow."

Not long after Shi Maocai and his party returned from the head of the mountain, another thing was posted on the bulletin board. Those who have good things to go up and take a look, it is an answer sheet of this big test.

Look at the name on it again, the word Lin Zhao is impressively written.

This is the first time that the answer sheet of the big test No.1 has been posted, which is very unusual.
