Chapter 45
An Twelve's words made Zhao Jin secretly startled.
"If the imitation questions that the bookstore published in those years happened to coincide with the original questions, even if it was stuck with a little bit, it would be unclear."
An Twelve nodded, with some worry in his eyes.
"Even if it's just a little bit stuck, if the people below make a fuss and find out your identity, I'm afraid it will hurt the prince's reputation."
Zhao Jin was also terrified at this meeting. Although he accepted the memory of the original owner, he was a modern person after all. He was used to seeing all kinds of exam workbooks and tutoring classes in modern times, so he realized the thrill of it.
"It's a good thing you reminded me, otherwise this shit pot will be put on the head of the Wangfu. Instead of doing mock exam questions, you can come to a mock exam room and let them squat in a small black room for a few days to exercise their courage and mentality. , how dare you come if you don’t pay five taels of silver per person.”
The more Zhao Jin thought about it, the more excited he was. He wanted to come up with a 5-year simulation, but the ancient imperial examinations were a very sensitive matter, but the real questions in the past were irrelevant.
The test questions of the palace inspection conference and even the government examination are recorded in the yamen of each state government and even the clerk department in the capital.
Back in the mansion, Zhao Jinna collected the three-year test questions, and then called in the housekeeper: "Bring Mr. Lu here."
Dark Twelve took Zhao Jin and changed the outer shirt, Yupei, put the soft clothes on the tray, and handed it to Zhao Jin.
"Mr. Lu is a scholar, but he hasn't passed the palace examination. Why don't master recruit some disciples?"
With the family status of the palace, any kind of diners can be recruited.
Zhao Jin quickly changed into a light blue brocade robe, impatiently straightened his hair, stuffed the sapphire hairpin into An Shier's hand, and sat in front of the bronze mirror.
"Although Mr. Lu is only famous as a scholar, he can try three times. No one knows the imperial examination questions better than him. And this business is ingenious. When the summary test questions come out and earn a wave of money, other bookstores are rushing. If you follow suit, the theory will be thinner, so secrecy is the most important thing.”
An Shier has big hands that have learned martial arts, but his hands are very flexible. Zhao Jin was impatient with the little servant girl approaching him, so he learned to tie Zhao Jin's hair and wear a crown, and the two had a tacit understanding.
"Master is ingenious."
After tidying up his hair, Zhao Jin turned around and circled An Twelve's thin waist, with a smirk on his face.
"Are you feeling well?"
An Twelve froze all over, and his ears turned red instantly.
"The subordinates are fine."
Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows and squeezed his round mounds.
"Accompany you to take a bath that night."
"Yes." An Twelve violently contracted his waist and abdomen a few times, calmed down his breathing, moved his ears, heard footsteps outside the door, and reminded him: "Master, Mr. Lu is here."
Zhao Jin let go of the embarrassed An Shier, walked slowly to the table and sat down. An Shier stood behind him and poured him a cup of tea.
When Lu Qingshan came in, he was dressed as a Confucian scholar in green clothes, and he was plump, and his body was already in good shape. When he saw Zhao Jin, he quickly bowed his hands.
"Thank you, my lord, for saving my life. Let Xiao Ke and Gou Zi stay in the palace temporarily. Xiao Ke is really sensitive."
Zhao Jin smiled all over his face: "Please sit down, I am still used to life in the mansion, if there is any shortage, just tell the waiter."
Lu Qingshan hurriedly got up and cupped his hands, a little flattered, but also panicked: "In the prince's mansion, naturally everyone has the best hands, but I can't repay him, I dare not lick the mansion."
Zhao Jin lowered his head and took a sip of his tea, without making a fuss.
"The king sent someone to collect the real questions for three years, and you recompiled them into mathematics, classics and history, and policy theory, and recorded you in the Zhongzhu Bookstore in the city. Mr. Shubi, there are five taels of calendars every month. You father and son live in the back house of the bookstore, do you wish?"
The travel agency stared wide-eyed in shock, looked at Zhao Jin in disbelief, and then reacted, nodding with ecstasy on his face, his voice stuttering, the students who are willing are naturally willing, thank you for your mention, the students will definitely Compile the booklet. "
Lu Qingshan is a poor scholar, there are no other parents in the family, relatives and friends originally brought their only son to Beijing to rush for the exam, but unfortunately caught the epidemic, the one who won the palace is now having such a good job.Naturally ecstatic.
Zhao Jin nodded in satisfaction, and lightly picked up the teacup. His voice was unhurried. Since ancient times, there are rules to make a square. This book will be useful in the future. After everything is compiled, the king will send someone to copy it, but it must not be forgotten. Disclose the news in advance. "
Lu Qingshan got up quickly, bowed his hands solemnly and bowed down.
"Students must keep it in mind, please rest assured, my lord. My lord has the world in mind. With these three years of test questions, all the candidates will be very grateful for his kindness."
Zhao Jin waved his hand, he was doing this to make money, but he couldn't accept such a big gratitude, the two talked about some trivial things, and Lu Qingshan went out with a face full of eagerness.
An Twelve refilled a cup of tea for Zhao Jin, and casually picked up the test booklet next to him.
"My lord doesn't know something. For this big family in the capital, the test questions over the years are not surprising. You can even find the articles written by the outstanding students of the year for the children who are studying at home to study. And ordinary students, if they worship a good teacher , These can also be glimpsed, but for poor people, a book costs more than half of the family's monthly money, not to mention that there is no way to turn to these test questions. If this booklet is really sold, I am afraid it will be sold in Beijing. There was an uproar in the middle."
Zhao Jin grabbed An Shier's hand with a smile on his face, pulled him over, and sat beside him.
"I know what I'm doing. The imperial examinations are eclectic and recruit talents from all over the world. These test questions are not secrets, but they are mostly circulated in the hands of aristocratic nobles and famous Confucians. Since they are reasonable and legal, I Why not if the king did it."
At this moment, An Twelve seemed to see powerful energy bursting out from Zhao Jin's thin body, and there seemed to be a flame burning in those shining phoenix eyes, which would never go out.
Lv Qingshan spent two days and two nights in repairing all night, sorting out the test questions into a book, and Zhao Jin sent a craftsman who sent a letter to engrave and print it, and bound it into a book.
Ten days later, hundreds of test questions were collected, and they were listed on Wenzhu Bookstore without any notice.
On the stacks of white covers that I had ordered in my heart, there was a collection of 4 large-character test questions that I had just entered, and they were neatly placed on the shelves of Wenzhu Bookstore. The students who came here naturally noticed it. , was very surprised.
"Mr. Zheng. This book is the test questions of the past few years. Oh, and the theory and theory of the top of the test last year. It is really beautiful. Can this book be sold, old man?"
Mr. Zheng stroked his gray beard with a smile on his face.
"Of course it's for sale, 300 texts a copy."
When the scholar heard the price, the scholar frowned. Three hundred Wen is not expensive, but he was too shy to buy it.
The scholar rolled his eyes and wanted to learn from the old days. Standing in this shop for a day and memorizing this book would save the 300 Wen.
As if seeing his plan, Mr. Zheng stretched out his hand and pulled the book in his hand with a smile, put it on the shelf again, and said honestly: "This book test is just a three-year test. If you are allowed to read it at will, I'm afraid it won't take two hours to recite it, and who will I sell my books to?"
It is also a helpless move for the bookstore to use such a method.
The scholar knew that he was wrong, his face was flushed, he rubbed the hem of his clothes, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, it was Xiaosheng who was rude, and Xiaosheng will go back to raise money."
Mr. Zheng also knew that his family was poor, so he stroked his beard with a smile.
"Scholar, don't worry, the old man here has a paper that has been in the top 10 for three years. You can find a trusted classmate and friend to copy the book. The old man will give you 25 coins for copying a copy, how about it?"
The scholar's eyes lit up in an instant. Being able to copy the famous articles on the student list over the years was of great benefit to him.
"Thank you sir for fulfilling."
After finishing speaking, the scholar ran out of the bookstore happily, and went back to find his classmates and friends to copy the books.
Although Zhao Jin can copy all these articles that have been on the list for a year in a stereotyped way, but.For a set of engravings in ancient times, the more characters there are, the higher the cost. However, these articles are written by 30 students in three years, and they are updated every year, which is not a small investment.
So Zhao Jin.Chen Song was indifferent. As expected, this test question would cause an uproar in Beijing. In front of Wenzhu Bookstore, there was a long queue of scholars who wanted to buy books.
In this life, many rich and noble families have also sent their apprentice Xiaosi to line up to buy three or five volumes for their children who are studying at home.
Scholars in Xiulana's surrounding cities and counties stayed up all night.Gan Luo waited in front of the bookstore early in order to be able to buy books earlier.
By the third day, all the hundreds of test questions on the shelves of Wenzhu Bookstore had been sold out.
Scholars who came from afar gathered in front of the Asparagus Bookstore, making a lot of noise.
"Old man, I have driven 100 miles to get here, you must sell me a copy."
"Yes, yes, old sir, we all heard about the test questions, so we rushed here overnight. The journey was very hard. Please do your best to see if there are any in the storeroom. Sell us a few copies."
"Don't be stingy with the books, shopkeeper. We, Mr. Qian, have plenty of money in our family. We are willing to buy these test questions at a high price."
There was a lot of noise in front of the door, which only surrounded the old man. He explained it several times, but it was still useless.
At this moment, a Qingshan scholar came out of Wenzhu Bookstore, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't worry, the latest batch of test questions will be collected, and 300 copies will be delivered this afternoon. Don't worry, everyone, everyone present. Here We have prepared licensed artistes. You don’t need to queue up in one afternoon. You can go to the bookstore to buy books if you get a good card. This store not only has test questions, but also has splendid articles from well-known bureaus in the past three years, which are available for everyone to buy. Easy to buy You might as well move in two steps."
The man's voice was clear and clear, and everyone quieted down. A long queue formed, and Lu Qingshan quickly stepped forward to help Mr. Zheng issue the number plates.
