A month had passed.
Li Chengqian's foot disease had almost recovered, and it was time to go home.
"Little Li, you've learned the Law of Salt Production, right?”
Looking at Li Chengqian riding on the horse, Han Qiu was really a little reluctant.
Although this lackey was a little weak, he was still quite easy to order around.
"Don't worry, Big Brother. I've learned it long ago. I'll do some promotion when I go back.”Li Chengqian laughed.
"I say, kid, why are you so stupid? Isn't it good to sell salt alone? What promotion!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Big brother is right."
Only then did Li Chengqian remember that he had left with the identity of a merchant's son.
However, no matter what, he had to thank Han Qiu.
Not to mention curing his foot disease, just this salt-making method alone would allow him to firmly sit on the position of Crown Prince!
"Alright, let's go. Take this salt-making method as a gift from me!”
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
Li Chengqian waved his hand and rode his horse out of the village.
Before he left, he didn't forget to give Chang Le a look.
It was as if he was telling her that she had to find a way to deal with Han Qiu.
Changle blushed.
Fortunately, Han Qiu was so focused on Li Chengqian that she didn't notice Chang Le's abnormal expression.
When people leave, tea is cold.
After Li Chengqian left, Han Qiu actually felt a little lonely.
In the past, he could still find fun in this kid.
Now, there were only him, Chang Le, and Xiao He left at home.
On the way home.
"Brother, do you have something on your mind?"
The meticulous Chang Le noticed that something was wrong with Han Qiu at a glance.
As expected, the latter nodded and said with melancholy,"Relying on cotton and wine, the villagers of Reliance Village have indeed become rich. However, just having money was not enough. One had to have power. I want to enter Chang 'an, make friends with dignitaries, and rope in all forces as our umbrella!”
"Brother is really thoughtful." "Then how do you want to befriend the powerful? Do you need my help?" asked Chang Le with a smile.”
"Haha, big brother befriended high-ranking officials. What can a little girl like you do to help?”As she spoke, Han Qiu patted Perpetual Joy's little head in relief and said,""I, your brother, am preparing to take the imperial examination.”
"What? Imperial examinations?"
Chang Le turned around and looked at Han Qiu in disbelief.
The latter was at most sixteen or seventeen years old.
Taking the imperial examination at this age was simply cannon fodder.
One had to know that there were countless scholars who participated in the imperial examination every year. Moreover, which one of them was not older than Han Qiu?
He had read hundreds and thousands of books.
Some people even lived to be more than a hundred years old without going to high school.
Although it was undeniable that the top scholar could get to know many high-ranking officials.
However, the chances of Han Qiu going to high school were almost zero.
"Why don't I let my sister help?"
It wasn't that Chang Le wanted to dampen Han Qiu's enthusiasm.
However, this path really wouldn't work.
It was better to give up early.
Moreover, as a princess, she could befriend all the high officials and nobles. There was no need for Han Qiu to personally take action.
"Tsk, sister, do you look down on your brother that much?”
Han Qiu pursed her lips, slightly unhappy.
As a person of the later generations, he had read nine years of compulsory education and the classics of Tang poetry and Song poetry. Wouldn't that be easy?
If he took the path of plagiarism, it would be easy for the youth to pass the exam!
"No, no, how would my sister dare?”
Chang Le hurriedly shook his head.
However, Han Qiu could tell at a glance that she was shaking her head very perfunctorily.
"Alright, your brother will definitely participate in the imperial examination this time. Sister, you will be proud of your top scholar brother!”
"Brother, you can do it!"
There was no other way. Chang Le knew that he could not persuade him, so he could only cheer him on.
In any case, no matter what the final outcome was, in her heart, Han Qiu would always be her top scorer!
……
……
Tang Dynasty system: Every midwinter, that is, November.
Each state, county, museum, and supervisor would hold a tribute examination.
This was a great opportunity for poor scholars to stand out!
Because even if he couldn't become the top scholar in high school, he could still become a scholar or a scholar.
Just a title like that would allow you to befriend the local powerful families.
Han Qiu was also recommended by the villagers of Reliance Village to participate in the tribute examination.
At this moment, in the royal study of the Imperial Palace.
Li Shimin was reading a letter from Changle. As he read, a smile appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect Han Qiu to be so ambitious. She wants to be the top scholar in high school after taking the imperial examination.”
Fang Xuanling said worriedly,""This kid is only sixteen years old and he is already taking the imperial examination. I'm afraid that the provincial examination will be very difficult, right?”
"Xuan Ling, Han Qiu is not simple. Don't underestimate him.”
Li Shiming was quite optimistic about Han Qiu.
Although he did not think that the latter could be the top scorer in high school.
This was because, since ancient times, no one had ever been the top scorer in high school at the age of sixteen!
Not even a genius!
"Your Majesty, I will remember your words."
"Alright, you may leave. I still have matters to discuss with the two princes.”
Li Shiming waved his hand, and Fang Xuanling bowed and left.
Following them were the Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the King of Wei, Li Tai.
These were the two sons that Li Shimin was most proud of.
Now, he had to choose one of them to wipe out the rebels in Jilei Mountain.
"Jilei Mountain is located in the Longyou Wasteland, on the border of the Great Tang. But a few days ago, the mountain people there colluded with the scattered Tibetans of Black Mountain and repeatedly harassed the borders of our Great Tang.”
"This news immediately caused an uproar in the court.”
"Now, I want to choose one of you to lead the troops to Jilei Mountain and wipe out the bandits!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengqian and Li Tai knelt on one knee almost at the same time and cupped their fists.
"Your son is willing to go, please allow father!”
Neither of them were fools.
This expedition was related to the question of who would inherit the throne.
As long as he achieved military merits, he would be the future Emperor of the Great Tang!
