Early in the morning, there was a night of silence. The Li family courtyard just woke up. When the master of the Li family served for washing, a hurried footstep suddenly sounded outside the door.

In the face of this, the owner’s face directly showed a trace of dissatisfaction and scolded: "It’s so hot in the morning to disturb people’s cleanliness … Go out and see who is outside and find out who is, and then directly punish them for a day’s wages …"
"Yes, sir …" The servant girl next to him answered quickly.
However, just as he was about to go out, his hurried steps were getting closer and closer to them, and then the housekeeper appeared at the door with a slightly excited figure
Just close your eyes, master, and before his mouth is full of excitement, it comes out from the housekeeper’s mouth.
"Good news, sir … great news … the magistrate’s government has just issued a notice. If we follow the notice, we will have a chance to be an official …"
"Being an official …" Hearing these words, Li Guzhu was in repose, as if he had been suddenly hit by a stimulant and opened his eyes and shot out two shirts.
A very important reason why a businessman’s home has such a great reaction is that he is influenced by Zhou Lao, deputy prime minister and director of foreign trade department.
In terms of wealth and business ability, the Zhou family was far behind the Li family a year ago. However, since the Zhou family became an official business by the Tiger and Leopard Army, it has not only its own unimaginable official status, but also the opportunity for others to make money.
It’s only been a little over a year since the old official became an official, and the Zhou family has already completed the transformation from a businessman to a big family, and it has become a big family in Datong, not the whole Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.
But it can be said that if the Tiger and Leopard Army can survive for a day, the newly established Zhou family can continue like this. Of course, the overall strength and scale of the Zhou family will become bigger and bigger, and more and more enviable …
Zhou’s success story tells all businessmen as a model.
If you want to have the status and status envied by others, if you want to have more development opportunities, if you want to make your family stronger and stronger … One way is to follow the Tiger Leopard Army as an official …
For Li Guzhu, from the two provinces of Shanshan to the tiger and leopard army, he set out to prepare himself to be an official tiger and leopard army …
Not to mention climbing to Zhou Lao’s position in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, being a magistrate is better than a county magistrate. For the businessman Li family, who has been living at the bottom of society, although he has money, he has no status, which can be called a matter of glory.
However, Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces are not imperial courts, and there is no way for Li Jiahua to win a county magistrate position for her son. Under such circumstances, it is obviously not an easy thing for her son to climb from the bottom petty official bit by bit.
In the face of all kinds of difficulties, Li Guzhu had to give up this shortcut for a while.
Then keep Li Jiazhu Governor’s Office and wait for the opportunity to come.
It is because Li Guzhu has been hiding such an expectation and eagerness in his heart that he made such a big reaction after hearing the news of being an official.
Look at the front because of excitement for half a day did not return to absolute being in charge of home continued
"Sir, it’s all true … the magistrate’s office has issued a notice, and I’ve specially asked people to copy a copy back. The Governor’s Office plans to set up a university hall in Datong to train officials to enter this school and pass the exam. After graduation, they are seven officials …"
"In addition to the establishment of university schools, the imperial court is building primary schools all over the country, and it is also a place to train officials. These middle schools are all trained by seven petty officials …"
I heard that the family finally reacted from the shock and then asked the housekeeper consciousness.
"Then how can I enter the university hall to study …"
"Examination …" The housekeeper answered without thinking …
"Every county in the Governor’s Mansion has a middle school. These middle schools have an exam once a year … those with the best test scores can enter the Datong Mansion to study …"
The householder was obviously very dissatisfied with the housekeeper’s answer. He complained to the housekeeper: "Since it is an exam, what good news can this be … from a small school to a middle school and then to a university school, and only after passing the university school exam can he come out as an official … What is the difference between this and climbing step by step as a petty official at the bottom … When a gentleman is an official, my householder is dead …"
At this time, the housekeeper hurriedly said, "Sir, I haven’t finished yet … There is another way to study directly in the university hall without passing the exam …"
"The governor’s office has established so many schools at one time and hired countless teachers … all this requires a lot of money … The governor’s office announced that it called on all the people in the two provinces to support the education reform in the two provinces … and called on everyone to donate money to the Education Department …"
"The notice of the Governor’s Office made it very clear … the Education Department of those who donated 1,200 silver will set up a monument at the gate of the local school and write the name of the donor for future generations to remember forever."
"The name of the primary school hall can be named after the name of the donor after the local primary school hall is built …"
"Those who donate twelve thousand silver can be named after the names of the donors …"
"Those who donate 100,000 taels of silver can choose a junior to directly enter the University School of the Governor’s Office for study besides naming a primary and secondary school. After graduation, the Governor’s Office will directly award seven and seven official positions according to their academic achievements …"
After listening to the housekeeper’s report, the businessman was born in the Li family, but he couldn’t help but give a sigh: "I really want to know who came up with these announcements."
"I’m sure that this announcement will definitely cause a sensation in Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces after it is finished, and make his name flow to future generations, so that everyone can remember that the officials, gentry and landlords in Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces will rush to donate money to the Education Department."
"When the time comes, maybe these schools can be set up without the governor’s one or two Yinshan and Shaanxi provinces … I didn’t expect the governor’s government to hide such a man of god. If I were asked to think about it, even a generation would not be able to think of such a good way … to make everyone willingly and rob to donate silver to the government."
After that, the shocked Master Yu once again turned his attention to the housekeeper and asked, "Say your last sentence just now …"
The housekeeper quickly said, "Sir, this is the case … The Governor’s Office said that we should pledge 100,000 taels of silver to get a chance to study in the university hall."
"After one year, you can enter the Governor’s Mansion to be an official and at least seven officials …"
Hearing this, the shocked expression of the housemaster’s face has been unconsciously replaced by excitement. He shouted excitedly at the housekeeper: "Butler, this is the best news I have heard today … Although there are a lot of silver, it is nothing to my Li family?"
"What’s more important is that 100,000 taels of silver not only get a chance to enter the university hall to study as an official in the future, but also get a chance to make a name for myself and let my Li family be remembered forever by future generations …"
"In a word, on the one hand, it’s all a one-way ticket … I’m out of the Li family for this hundred and two pieces of silver …"
At the same time, other officials, gentry and landlords in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces also received notices from local officials and offices.
Faced with the great temptation of fame, countless snowflakes and silver poured into the education department like running water, and into the pockets of Zhang Yan and Lean.
What the Education Department has paid is only the naming of thousands of primary and secondary schools and dozens of places to enter university halls for study.
Of course, some people may say that there is little difference between selling places to study in university schools and buying and selling official hat chairs.
"Actually, just because he can enter a university school for study doesn’t mean that he can pass the exam. If he doesn’t have the ability, he can’t pass the exam even if he enters the school. If he can’t pass the exam, there is no way to be released from the government house …"
