Sun Zhuangyuan was accepted by Zhou Shian Sanyuan Gong. He learned from his bitter experience and decisively improved the difficulty of the entrance examination of Zhixing Academy.

At the end of another month, there were a series of entrance examinations.

When the candidates walked into the house of Zhixing academy and got the test papers, more than 90% of the candidates were confused.

Zhixing academy is the easiest place to get a good entrance examination. The examination questions are very gentle

It's not gentle. It's ferocious like a monster.

MMP, the question is so difficult, how to test it.

It's over. It's over.

Even a problem set has not finished the person, this examination has no way to test!

This is really over.

More than 90% of the examinees showed despair.

With his hands behind his back, sun inspected the examination room.

Looking at the examinees show the expression of dead parents, his face showed a satisfied smile.

Good, very good.

A little more difficult, this group of examinees immediately revealed their true colors.

Hum!

Treat Zhixing academy as a second-class college. If you don't prepare for the exam, I'll let you know.

If you pass the entrance examination which is quite difficult, you will not believe that Zhou Shian and sanyuangong dare to despise the poor level of students in Zhixing Academy.

The end of the day's exam.

When the examinees walked out of the examination room, they were all howling.

"This exam is too difficult!"

"It is said that the entrance examination of Zhixing academy is the easiest, but it is more difficult than that of Shanhe Academy."

"It is more difficult than the entrance examination of Shanhe academy two days ago."

"Brother, did you take the entrance examination of Shanhe academy? How do you feel? "

"It doesn't feel good!"

"So today's exam..."

"I'm afraid it's going to take another month to prepare for the exam next month."

"Encourage! Where do you live, brother? "

"Living in Xinmin county."

Rich people!

The rent in Xinmin county is several times that of Zhixing Academy.

"I can't compare with my brother. I live near Zhixing Academy. If you don't like it, brother, we'll find a pub to drink. "

"Why don't you follow me to Xinmin county? I'll invite three or five friends to get to know each other."

"Good!"

They arrived at the station, bought tickets, and went to Xinmin County by double track carriage.

Xinmin county is still good!

It was dark, and the market was still full of people. It was as lively as a city that never sleeps.

"There is no curfew in Xinmin county. You can have fun all night. There's no exam tomorrow, and I'll be drunk tonight. "

"You are right, brother."

Seven or eight scholars swarmed into the restaurant and ordered a meal.

Chatting, chatting about today's exam.

"Zhixing academy has delusions that compared with Shanhe academy, the examination questions are so difficult. Who will apply for Zhixing Academy in the future?"

"It is better to read Shanhe academy than to read Zhixing Academy. At least Shanhe academy has already made a name and is well-known all over the world. "

"That's right."

"We should let the people who write the questions of Zhixing academy listen to the voice of the majority of students. No one will apply to the Zhixing Academy for such a difficult question. "

"That's too absolute! For some people, Zhixing academy is also a good choice. "

"Brother, this is a fallacy! If Zhixing academy is the test question of this difficulty in the future, if you can be admitted to Zhixing academy, you will be able to enter Shanhe Academy. If you can read Shanhe academy, why do you have to know and practice the academy? "

"Shanhe academy has a lot of competition, so it is very difficult to get a scholarship. The competition of Zhixing academy is small. If you can pass the level of Shanhe academy to study in Zhixing academy, it should be easy to get scholarship. Monthly award, annual award, subject award, imperial examination award and so on add up to an objective income. If Zhixing academy can stick to the current difficulty of entrance examination and raise the reputation and level of the college, many people will be attracted to the scholarship. "

Eh!

This angle is novel.

"You are right, brother."

"Ah, Zhixing academy is so difficult to test. I think it's better to give up the imperial examination and go home to farm. In any case, you have to pay taxes if you don't want to take the imperial examination. Reading is boring. "

"That's not true! If you have a good reputation, you can have more land, and you can buy slaves

"What will that land do for you?"

"The new land law issued by the court is really about to be forced to death. The court officials were silent. They were incompetent and counselled! "

"I think the new land law is very good! Since the beginning of August, the annual tax has been reduced by more than two thirds. In a year, my family can save thousands of Jin of grain, enough to eat the summer harvest. "

One of the students, dressed in plain clothes, whispered.

They all looked at him in unison.He said weakly, "my family is a self-employed farmer with 20-30 mu of paddy field and a hillside. It's very painful to collect and pay taxes every autumn. Ten taxes and one tax, I am in favor of it. Even if I take the exam in the future, I will still agree with ten taxes and one tax. Everyone pays taxes. When there is a war, the court doesn't need to increase taxes and apportion them to the people like me. "

"Brother, listen to your accent, you are not from the north?"

"I'm from the southwest."

"I hear there's a war on your side?"

"It's already finished. Yang Xianggong's army had long been outside the border and occupied dozens of cities. There are a lot of rural farmers, dozens or hundreds of them, who form a caravan to transport goods to the border and sell them to soldiers. The business is good. Recently, my family wrote that Sihai road and bridge will be built on our side to build a cement road leading to overseas, and it is said that it will be built all the way to the seaside. A lot of people have applied for road menders, with good pay and good food. "

"Oh! Do you really think that scholars should pay taxes? "

"Shouldn't it?"

"Of course not. For thousands of years, when did the scholar pay tax after he got the fame? Are you stupid? "

"But the officials of the imperial court didn't object to it. We are just students who haven't passed the examination yet. No matter how we oppose it, we'll just be using the mantis as a chariot."

"Tut! Forget it, forget it. We are not the same people. "

"I didn't expect that someone would agree with the government to collect taxes on scholars."

Chatting here, southwest came to the students, also know that they are disgusting, so take the initiative to leave.

He walked alone in the street.

The streets are densely populated, and everyone's face is full of yearning for a better life. He was more and more lonely.

"Wait, brother."

The student turned back and looked at the rich boy running towards him.

"Brother called me?"

"Yes! What do you call brother? "

"My name is Ma!"

"It's brother ma. My name is Hu Tianyou. Just now in the restaurant, I heard brother Ma talk about the cement road to be built in the southwest, and it has to be built to the seaside all the time? "

"Exactly

"That's a long way to go." Hu Tianyou sighed repeatedly.

Ma Xuezi thought for a moment and said, "at least there are thousands of miles away. If you take a detour a little further, there will be tens of thousands of miles."

When Hu Tianyou heard this, he was shocked.

He took Ma Xuezi's shoulder and said, "let's go and have a drink somewhere else. Thousands of miles of cement road, this is a big deal! The imperial court spent so much money to build this road, and it certainly can't let him waste it. So there's going to be a big move in the southwest. Brother Ma is a local. Please tell me more about it. "

Hu Tianyou, a well-off son, was the first to rush to Jiangling mansion and roam around Jiangling mansion with money and his friends.

Unexpectedly, he found business opportunities and made a lot of money by mixing the name of boss Hu in Jiangling mansion.

Of course, his status at home is also rising.

Realizing the pleasure of making money and the change of status brought about by making money, Hu Tianyou is more and more determined to do business.

Jiangling's business is saturated, so there is no need to stay there. He handed over the business of Jiangling to the steward and went back to the capital to look for opportunities.

Recently, he has been thinking about the new land law, but he has not figured out a way.

Shao Fu, he wants to get in touch with others, but he doesn't have such a relationship. What can he do.

Overseas, many people have mentioned it recently. He has been hesitating and unable to make up his mind.

Today, when I invited someone to dinner in a restaurant, I overheard a student sitting next door talking about it. He didn't care.

Until Ma Xuezi mentioned all kinds of things in Southwest China, he finally moved his mind.

After a meal of wine, Hu Tianyou pottery all the goods in Ma Xuezi's stomach.

Two days later, Hu Tianyou explained that he had a good family, took money with him, and ran all the way to the southwest to make a fortune.

……

Balipu toll station.

After years of hard work and many shifts, Li Dashan finally got to the position of the head of the toll station.

With the increase of treatment, the wife and children will also be honored.

His wife works at the rest station, and his son has also been tested as a toll collector. At present, he is working at the toll station 200 miles away from Balipu.

Early in the morning, his younger brother Li Xiaoshan came to Balipu toll station to seek help from Li Dashan.

"Brother, I want to hear what you think."

Li Dashan looks at the distant top of the mountain. It's a fine day today. It's a long way to see.

He patted Li Xiaoshan on the shoulder. What's your plan? "

"Well, a few days ago, the waiter of Sihai meat and vegetable went to the village to collect mountain goods, and talked about ten taxes and one tax. Is that true, brother

"It's true, of course. Didn't I have a letter for you? "

"I thought my brother was trying to trick us.""Coax you! Such a big thing, I can coax you, your brain long pig feet? It's written in black and white in the newspaper. Read it for yourself. "

Li Dashan photographed the newspaper a few days ago in front of him, "look carefully, I have coaxed you."

Li Xiaoshan a face embarrassed and honest smile, "brother, you know I can't read."

"Stupid! You know ten taxes and one. Well, look at it. It's very clear. It's written in white

"Really Li Xiaoshan was shocked.

"Such a big thing can be a fake. Since the beginning of August, it has not been implemented for a few days. Remember, if the government dares to go to the village to collect taxes before the first day of August, you don't pay attention to them. From the first day of August, ten taxes and one tax will be collected by the government. "

"What kind of Yamen is Shaofu?"

Li Xiaoshan has never been far away. The farthest place I have been to is the county seat, followed by Balipu.

He was illiterate and had little curiosity about the outside world. Satisfied with facing the loess, back to the sky, working at sunrise and resting at sunrise.

Shao Fu, strange and afraid to him.

Li Dashan hummed twice. It was hard to make steel.

At the beginning, he also wanted to pull out the brothers in the clan. Once the toll gate recruited people, he asked the brothers to sign up for training.

As a result, one or two were as stupid as pigs, and the first round was brushed down.

In the words of the steward, his talent is so stupid that he can't help him up.

Li Dashan had no choice but to say that it was all fate.

He was brave enough to read and read. He suffered the most in his life and was admitted to the toll collector.

However, the brothers in the family have neither talent nor perseverance.

After several times of supervision, the party concerned did not care, and he gave up.

Li Dashan told him, "Shaofu is the emperor's housekeeper. You should know that Shaofu's Bank is the property of Shaofu. "

Talking about the Shaofu bank, Li Xiaoshan understood it all at once.

"So it's true to say that ten taxes are one?"

"Dare you, I said so much before, but you didn't hear a word."

Li Dashan's face was filled with heart. No wonder the Steward will say that Li Xiaoshan is stupid. This is more than a fool. This is a fool.

Li Xiaoshan said with a simple smile, "brother, you also know that in order to evade taxes and corvee, I have only a few acres of land dedicated to Zhang Ju's family. Can you help me get it back? I'll pay the tax by myself instead of relying on him. It's more cruel than the government to give them to Zhang Juren every year

Li Dashan sneered, "I told you not to offer at the beginning. You didn't listen. Now come and ask me for help. If I had known this, why should I have done it in the first place? "

"I, I, I'll listen to you from now on. Brother, please help me. If you don't help me, I can't get those fields back. "

"You are a pig. No, pigs are smarter than you. It's about to harvest in autumn. I want to take the field back at this time. The other party certainly won't agree easily. You're going to bleed. "

"Did you promise to help me? Thank you, brother! As long as I can get the field back, I will give more blood. "
