Li Dui looked at Du Zhongxiao with a smile: "Your steamed wine at home and you can make some money, but it is not a long-term solution. Wine is a special thing for the court. It would be fine if your family takes advantage of loopholes. After the days are long, the government will inevitably intervene. If you can read it as soon as possible, write it into a booklet to present it to the court. This is the real long-term idea. It will be difficult for others to tell you about this kind of thing, but fortunately you wake up early."

Du Zhongxiao bowed: "What the officials said is, the students think so too."

After two lifetimes, Du Zhongxiao certainly knew what the nature of a monopoly was, and how could it leave loopholes for the people? Because of a dispute with the Wu family, the officials at both prefectures and counties all turned to their own family, so that they would have the previous situation. Once the magistrate changed and had no relationship with the Du family, how could the Du family enjoy the profit of steaming wine alone? The method must be given, just for the evening. It is better to offer it early than to offer it late than to be forced to take the initiative. Du Zhongxiao immediately took action as soon as he thought it through. Now everyone praises him and his family can still get some benefits.

Li Dui said: "The court has not treated your family badly. It has divided the land of the three states and allowed you to enjoy the benefits of steaming wine alone. With this business, your family will not have to worry about making a living. Nephew, you will be at ease in the capital from now on. According to the rules of these years, it is often necessary to start a course every three years. Calculate the time, and you will have a trial next year. If you don’t have much time, you have to work hard. Only by winning a Jinshi can you really change your family."

Du Zhongxiao bowed to the point. At this time, the time for the opening of the imperial examination was not fixed. The most dense period was during the Taizong period. Sometimes one academic year was not enough, but later it gradually extended. Sometimes two years, sometimes three years, and the longest Zhenzong had four or five years in his later years. It was only fixed in these few sessions, and the academic examination was basically held every three years, but it still required special orders to count.

Seeing that Du Zhongxiao was well-behaved, Li Dui said again: "The Imperial College has no guidance from the wise master. There are not many students in it on weekdays, but there is no other place in the world to compare with other places. Don't waste your time. If you do articles on weekdays, you can communicate with young people who study in the capital, such as the small officials of Susheren who you do every day. If you do it proudly, you can also take it to me. In the past few months, I have seen you gradually enter the door of your writing, not as awkward as when you were in the county. This is a good thing. Don't be proud, and you have to work harder in the future."

Du Zhongxiao said: "What the officials said is that being able to enter the Imperial College is something that many people dream of, and I will cherish it."

In a few months, Du Zhongxiao's academic communication has not improved much, but he gradually understood the writing and format of the current article. When his thinking and composition methods are higher, his articles have become much better than before. Since the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination has been more than 100 years. With a fixed format, including writing and reasoning, he has his own differences from ordinary articles. If the path is right, he can slowly cultivate it and mature it before he can write a good article.

There is indeed no famous teacher in the Imperial College, but many of the students there are old students in the imperial examinations. Many of them have participated in many scientific examinations, and some of them have become officials and Jinshi. Even if these people are not good at writing, their vision is extremely sharp. They can tell at a glance what good imperial examinations are and what works of corrupt scholars are. What Du Zhongxiao hopes most is to communicate with such people, so that they can improve their ability to deal with scientific examinations as quickly as possible. In comparison, Yingtianfu Academy can learn real talents, but it is not that attractive to Du Zhongxiao.

After giving orders to Du Zhongxiao, Li Duicai said: "Dr. He, the two young people in your hometown, have sent people to tell you that they have sent them back to their hometown. Don't worry, Dr. He will not care about them in the future. He will do evil in the village and will have his own prefectures and counties."

Wu Kejiu caused a lot of trouble to He Zhongli, so he would not tolerate him anymore. He took this opportunity to send him home early. He would develop connections with the big family, and he was worthless after presenting the booklet to Du Zhongxiao. After returning home, He Zhongli naturally would not care about the Wu family anymore.

At that time, he took Du Zhongxiao to the capital, but Li Dui felt unbearable when he saw that Du Xun had worked hard when he was a child. Unexpectedly, Du Zhongxiao was very sensible. After arriving in the capital, he did not cause trouble, and even made contributions, which made him look glorious and very happy.

This is how it happened. At the beginning, the two did not have much deep friendship. After experiencing more, they gradually developed feelings. Now Li Dui regards Du Zhongxiao as a promising young man in his hometown and is dedicated to taking care of him.

After repeatedly urged Du Zhongxiao to study hard, Li Dui said: "Remember, there is another official Xin in the town who is waiting for the capital? He has recently been in real trouble and will leave Beijing soon. I have prepared a family banquet to see him off. You should leave here today to accompany him."

Xuzhou has produced several Jinshi in the past ten years. He Zhongli and Li Dui have a long relationship, so Xin You finally got a job as a county magistrate and survived. He stayed in the capital for nearly half a year and was forced to do so. He was too long to stay in the palace, and the Xin family was about to make a living by borrowing money. Once he got the job, he couldn't wait to take the post. Du Zhongxiao was valued by Li Dui, and he was inseparable from such occasions.

Du Zhongxiao originally thought that he had taken the initiative to seize the Dangxiang meticulous work, discovered Zhang Yuan's evil plan, and presented a book of steaming wine. He made so many contributions. Not to mention the emperor, there must be a court official to reward him. Unexpectedly, in the end, just a few public officials found him and got the matter, but none of the ministers saw him. At this time, the minister in charge of the court was Lu Yijian, and the Privy Council was Yan Shu, who were all people Du Zhongxiao had heard of in his previous life, and he had not seen any of them yet.

After having a meal, I bid farewell to Xin Youzhong dinner and left Li Du's house, the sky was full of stars. Du Zhongxiao walked by the Bian River and felt a breath of magnitude. In the past year, there have been many troubles. From the first few months of my father's life and death, I have been working hard all day for food and clothing, and now I am finally at peace with my family business and can focus on the imperial examinations. I have established a firm foothold in this era.

The top priority now is to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible and start your career in this era. If you fail the imperial examination in one go, you can take the exam again, unlike before. Everything is urgent. You sell wine in the three states at home, which is enough to support your life in the capital.

Only after relaxing, Du Zhongxiao was in the mood to appreciate the night of Bianjing City. This is the largest city in the world and the most prosperous place in the world. It is brightly lit at night and there are many pedestrians on the road.

The number of luxury areas in Kaifeng City is naturally the first outside Donghua Gate. There are people in the palace to consume, and it is also a must for officials to go to court. Restaurants and night markets outside are endless all night. The second is around Daxiangguo Temple where Du Zhongxiao lives. Daxiangguo Temple is not a temple, but a large collection of buildings, divided into many courtyards, many courtyards are independent and do everything. Some courtyards are monks and practice business, while others are open to business, which is not different from secular shops. Daxiangguo Temple goes west along the Bian River, and is the landmark building of Tokyo City, Zhouqiao. The north and south of the Zhouqiao are the locations of many government offices such as the Imperial College. It is extremely prosperous and the real heart of Kaifeng City.

"There are Tianjie in the north and south of the Zhouqiao Bridge. The elders waited for the return of the year. They held back their tears and asked the envoys. When will the six armies really come?"

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Du Zhongxiao couldn't help but whisper the poem he learned in his previous life. This was written by Fan Cheng Dabei envoy when he passed by Kaifeng. At that time, it was already deserted. Why should I study and become an official? Du Zhongxiao asked himself, because in this era, only being an official can have a way out, but isn't it another reason to block the Hu Qi going south in history?

As soon as he looked up, he saw Yang Zhu and Shouxin still drinking by the Bian River. Du Zhongxiao smiled slightly and walked towards them. Whether it was for fame, wealth, or the rise and fall of the country, so many people are now rushing to the northwest, which shows a vigorous spirit. I hope this spirit will not disappear, and even because of its own arrival, it will become a torrent that has never appeared in history.

Whether it was the reunion between the two Song dynasties or the late Southern Song Dynasty, this land and the people on this land showed a heroic spirit of resistance and aggression. They eventually failed, with the reason why the enemy was too strong, but the most important thing was that the court was not strong. Why did the court not be strong? Du Zhongxiao could not find the answer from the history books he had learned. He only hoped that if he had been on this land, these things would never happen again, and future generations would never need to find such answers.

The moon in the sky is bright and the stars are twinkling. Du Zhongxiao stood under the starry sky, feeling a little dazzled. Everything this year has gone far away at this moment, and he is just struggling to gain a foothold in this era. From now on, he is truly chasing his future. People like Wu Kejiu are just passers-by who pass by, and their minds are on that kind of person and blocking his gaze. It is like a big cart, although it will trip up by a small stone, it will eventually be crushed.

At this time, Du Zhongxiao can tell this era that I am here.
