Seeing Hao Chujun staring at him, Chen Zhengtai smiled slightly when he seemed to have many problems.

"Look at how many refugees have been recruited in Erpigou. There is a saying that "rescue the urgent but not the poor". Now Erpigou still has money and grain to help them, but over time? In this world, talent is the most precious wealth. Don't look at Erpigou that can make money by selling salt, but compared to people, what is selling salt? But... people are different from people. Can ordinary people really create wealth? I don't think that it's enough. It's better to make money by relying on strength to make money by relying on your brain. Although these refugees are in trouble now, if they can write and calculate in the future, this will be beneficial to the world and to Erpigou."

Hao Chujun looked shocked: "Well, let all the people in Erpigou read?"

"I want to give it a try."

However, Hao Chujun was shocked and couldn't speak, and shook his head repeatedly at Chen Zhengtai.

"This is absolutely impossible... These people are mostly unsightly refugees. How can they study... The so-called gentlemen work hard, villains work hard... If you choose ten people, hundreds of people, maybe it's OK. But these are thousands and tens of thousands, no one in the world can do it."

Looking at Hao Chujun's shocked look, Chen Zhengtai found himself talking to the duck.

Actually, this is understandable.

Chen Zhengtai, who came from later generations, firmly believed that everyone could study, and even the most despicable people had the possibility of becoming successful.

However... it is completely different for Hao Chujun. In his eyes, the one who can read is the best. Only those born in prominent surnames and with family blood and family traditions can have the possibility of becoming successful.

Even the nine scholars in front of Chen Zhengtai are of poor origin, such as Li Yifu.

But in this era, the poor family is different from the so-called poor family in later generations. Later generations compare the poor to poor family.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the poor families were compared with the high families. For example, Li Yifu, he was inferior because he was born in a poor family. Because Hao Chujun was the son of a county prince, his father had been a high-ranking official like the governor of the state, and as for his grandfather, he was also powerful for a while.

But in Li Yifu, his father was just a small county magistrate, which was equivalent to the deputy county magistrate. Because of this "humble" identity, Li Yifu felt that he, who was born in a poor family, could not raise his head in front of other top-grade families.

Li Yifu often feels ashamed of his father just a county magistrate, and feels inferior for his poor family, so he is so nervous that he does everything, like walking on thin ice, because he knows very well that others can take ten or hundreds of steps wrong, but as long as he takes one wrong step, he will be doomed.

As for the ordinary people like Deng Jian in this era, in the eyes of these families with family backgrounds, they are really ants.

Reading...jokes...are they worthy?

Of course, people who hold such concepts have nothing to do with good or evil. This is just an inherent impression formed by people over the years. No one thinks that such ideas are related to good or evil. There have always been many gentlemen who have extremely good moral cultivation, and the same concept is the same.

Chen Zhengtai saw the doubts that flashed in the eyes of the nine disciples.

Chen Zhengtai knew that there was no need to argue about such things. In the face of powerful inherent ideas, there was actually no reason to say, so he said, "For you, this must be a path that you have never imagined."

Hao Chujun and others gave Chen Zhengtai a good face and chose to remain silent to express their attitude.

"But if you don't try it, how can you know if it will succeed?"

Chen Zhengtai left this sentence and continued to smile. This was the first time he felt that he had been humiliated. Nine scholars looked at themselves like fools. Because of this, they should keep smiling and create an impression that I am brave or mysterious.

The weather is gradually approaching autumn.

The locusts gradually withered, but the entire Guanzhong has been gnawed completely by these countless locusts.

Although the government and Erpigou tried their best to provide relief, under the devastated desolation, countless people in ragged clothes seemed to have left the hunger mark that they could not bear to look back on in the summer of the three years of Zhenguan.

The imperial court issued a series of edicts to determine the new policy for the imperial examination, which gave the thousands of juren who had gathered in Chang'an a little more hope.

The new policy measures are simply impeccable. Overall, anyone who knows about the new policy generally thinks that there is a possibility of fraud.

Immediately afterwards, the exam period was approaching, and it was early morning when the exam began.

Outside Erpigou University Hall, there are already carriages and horses ready.

Nine scholars walked out of the school facing the sun. They spent two months together day and night, and they were already familiar with each other, but now... they came to the car like a sparrow breaking free from the cage, carrying the Kao Lan, and bowed to each other to say goodbye.

Hao Chujun had already thought about it. After this Jinshi exam, whether he was high school or not, he planned to run away after the results were announced and would not give Chen Zhengtai the chance to catch himself back.

However, Li Yi's family, who came from a poor family, was still hesitating whether to return home after the exam. He actually missed the food here quite a lot.

The rest of them have their own thoughts. For them, the imperial examination is just a try. After all, what they want to take is the Jinshi subject. The Jinshi subject is the most difficult among all the imperial examination subjects and the future is unpredictable.

Even in this era, many people who cannot become prime ministers in the future will regret their inability to become Jinshi.

Chen Zhengtai came here in person on a horse. The nine people looked at Chen Zhengtai with complicated eyes, saluted each other, and then said goodbye.

When getting on the bus, Hao Chujun, who was determined to leave the big cage of the school, suddenly felt a soreness in his nose. In this place where he recorded his memories of two months of life, he suddenly left, and deep down, he felt a little reluctant.

At this time, even Chen Zhengtai, who had cursed and disliked before, began to miss him together.

Wait for the carriage to move slowly.

Through the curtain of the car, Hao Chujun saw behind him. Chen Zhengtai stood in the horse under the rising sun. Looking at the direction of the carriage, Hao Chujun's eyes subconsciously turned red.

The carriage sent nine people to the examination room.

Here, Hao Xianggui, the Duke of Iiyama Prefecture, was looking for a familiar figure like crazy. Finally, he saw a familiar person getting out of the car, and rushed forward like crazy: "Chujun, my son..."

For two months, father and son cannot meet each other, and it seems to be two centuries long for each other.

The only difference is that Hao Xianggui is thin and looks haggard.

And Hao Chujun... gained weight.

Hao Xianggui's eyes were overwhelmed with tears in his eyes. He ignored the surprised people around him and grabbed Hao Chujun and refused to let go. He cried loudly: "I am thinking about you day and night, for fear that you have suffered grievances in Erpigou. It's not that you don't want to rescue you, but the people from the East Palace refused to let You enter. You have wanted to meet Your Majesty several times, but Your Majesty also ignored Your Majesty, my son..."

The father and son hugged their heads and cried bitterly.

The people on the side pointed and whispered: "Aren't these nine scholars from Erpigou? It's so pitiful. Look at their appearance, their faces are rosy. Hey, I recognize him, why has he gained weight?"

"Anyway, they are very pitiful..."

"Yes, yes, poor people."

...

As the auspicious day arrived, the examination room was beaten with gongs and countless candidates flocked to the examination room.

Hao Chujun and others were mixed in the crowd and could only enter from the side.

On the other side, there is a middle gate.

At the middle gate, the guards were even tighter, and from the exquisite carriages, well-dressed noble men fell.

These people have much higher families than Hao Chujun.

The son of the Boling Cui family.

There are also the Li family of Zhaojun, the Wang family of Taiyuan, etc.

They entered the middle gate, not like they were here for the exam, but like they were here to inspect the exam room.

Entered the examination room.

Someone called Hao Chujun.

Hao Chujun turned around.

But I saw someone looking at him with a smile.

When he saw this person, Hao Chujun did not dare to neglect because compared to Chen Zhengtai, the person in front of him was even more difficult to mess with. This person came from Fan Yang, with his surname and named Lu Guangsheng, and he was born with a handsome face. He was born with a high school family and was in a magnificent manner.

It is reported that when the Emperor was there, he wanted to marry the princess to him, but he also refused the Lu family.

In the eyes of the Lu family, although the Li family is a royal family, the direct descendants of the Lu family like Lu Guangsheng are even more precious.

Hao Chujun occasionally recognizes Lu Guangsheng, and the difference between them is too big. Even if his family has the title of county magistrate, in the past, Hao Chujun was just Lu Guangsheng's young follower.

"You're here to take the exam too?" Lu Guangsheng always smiled, but behind this kind smile, there was always a sense of pride. There were not many people in this world who could be seen by him.

Hao Chujun bowed to him: "Yes, Brother Lu is here to take the exam, too?"

"It is reported that the imperial examination has new regulations, so I will see it." Lu Guangsheng smiled faintly: "Chu Jun, you have to work hard."

He encouraged him like this, which was quite a bit harsh to Hao Chujun.

It means that Lu Guangsheng is sure to win, but of course he has to work hard to take the exam.

However, Hao Chujun did not have any resentment at all. He knew very well that the person in front of him was well-educated and experienced, and he was definitely not comparable to someone like him.

"Yes." Hao Chujun continued to bow.

Lu Guangsheng smiled and said, "It is said that you have entered the school, what about the Royal Erpigou??"

This question made Hao Chujun's face suddenly blush and he didn't know how to answer.

Lu Guangsheng chuckled lightly, with the unique elegance of the noble people and the ridicule just now, he clicked until he didn't look sideways and stepped into the examination room.

The exam began immediately.

The examination room was separated here, which was also part of the new regulations for the imperial examination. People were isolated from others in the examination room, and the examination officials distributed the papers. At this moment, Hao Chujun took a deep breath, held his breath and began to answer the papers seriously.

I hope... can I succeed?

Damn, why did you involuntarily think of Erpigou University and Chen Zhengtai when you picked up your pen?

Hao Chujun shook his head quickly, trying to dispel Chen Zhengtai's shadow in his mind.

After taking a deep breath, I suddenly remembered Chen Zhengtai's words: "Try hard, struggle!"

So, write.

On the white paper, the ink marks melted.

…………

I recommend a book "Zhenguan Son-in-law" written by the Tiger Brothers, which is very good.
Chapter completed!
