Chapter 1730: Difficulty in Recommendation to Meet King Song

Let Lan Bao describe his feelings in a word, he can't describe it, he has studied for a short time, and he doesn't have the ability to remember everything he has seen.

He thinks that his Tang Dynasty is good, and many people in Jingzhao Prefecture are the same as him.

At this time, the sky in Chang'an is later than that in Japan, and the lights in the south of the city are the brightest.

Some shops are closed, so they take the lights to the open places and give them to the students.

Including glass lamps with candles inside, kerosene, gasoline, and diesel have other uses, and paraffin is a by-product.

Most of the paraffin is bought by merchants, and it is much cheaper to light oil lamps in other places.

Few students come here by car, and it costs a lot of money to live in the city, and the price of inns is high.

The settlement area after crossing the Ba Bridge is not allowed to enter, but it was allowed before.

They either live in other counties, which is cheaper and inconvenient to communicate.

More people live in the southern part of Chang'an, with a certificate, a separate small house, no toilet and kitchen, and only one penny a day.

They prepare their own night buckets, and carry them to a fixed place during the day to empty them, which is called emptying the night incense, and cleaning them at the same time.

Just like the old Shanghai when Li Yi was there, there are collection vehicles in the morning. After emptying them, they go to a centralized place to wash them with water, and they have to queue up.

If any student says that he can't stand such a dirty thing, dislikes it, and refuses.

Then there is no need to take the imperial examination. If you fail, it won't work even if you get all the answers right.

Li Yi can jump into the outlet of the biogas tank to take things out, and others have to deal with it when they check their feces. You students can't do it? Why are you so delicate?

Students can do it. The 42 and 220 students before Li's village had to help deal with the animal shed and chicken coop.

Then they all got the first place in the imperial examination, which means that there is an extra state of doing dirty and tiring work when taking the imperial examination.

"Brother Fengshuo, did you go to the manure pit again during the day? Smell it, there is no smell on your body."

Several students were reading under the lights in the south of the city, and some talked to their classmates next to them.

The man who was called Fengshuo was named Shi Yongqiu.

He made a lot of money from his work, mainly because he was careful. When he was digging, he didn't spill much around him, and he didn't spill anything on the road.

Before he dug, he would spread a layer of sand around the pit. After he spilled it, he put it into the big bucket on the car.

What's more amazing is that he prepared water soaked in perilla leaves, and sprayed it with a pump to cover the smell.

He could earn more than 50 yuan a day, take a free shower, and have a lunch.

The morning meal depended on which block he went to. After he went in, the block leader was willing to give him a meal.

He didn't eat at night, but came here to study. After learning, he ate a bowl of noodles and walked over while reciting what he had learned.

"Wash it. This job is dirty. Use soap to take a shower." Shi Yongqiu also smelled it himself to make sure there was no bad smell.

"Which block are you going to tomorrow?" Another person asked casually.

"Tomorrow... Tomorrow is the birthday of King Xue's eldest son. I..." Shi Yongqiu stopped talking and expressed his meaning.

"Brother Fengshuo, did you get the invitation?" The person who asked before was surprised, and at the same time felt a little jealous.

"It was recommended by Vice President Zhong. My calligraphy and painting competition results were not bad." Shi Yongqiu gave the answer. He took the path of Zhong Shaojing.

Zhong Shaojing received funding from the Li family manor to hold the competition, and selected the best ones to celebrate the birthday of the eldest son of Xue Wang Li Ye.

"Brother Fengshuo, if that's the case, you will be on the rise." Others were also jealous, but could not ridicule.

"How can there be a rapid rise? You all know that if you want to take the path of recommendation, you must pass the test of Doctor Li.

Those who can pass the imperial examination are recommended when they don't take the imperial examination, but Doctor Li disagrees, and then they take the imperial examination and pass.

Those who rank behind and are approved by Doctor Li will definitely rank first in the imperial examination."

Shi Yongqiu shook his head gently. It's too difficult to take the recommendation path!

No matter how much you know, Li Yi guarantees that he can ask you about the aspect you are best at.

How many books has Li Yi written annotations? What everyone learns is what he wrote.

What's so great, so great, so great? Isn't it because of the annotations written by Li Yi?

The key is that if you answer all the questions correctly, it only proves that you have memorized them hard. The subsequent current affairs are so difficult that it makes people doubt their lives.

The key is that Li Yi's recommendation did not pass. If you take the imperial examination and get the first place, you can't be proud of it. You can say that you, Li Yi, didn't like me. I can get here with my own ability.

It's useless. The last thing the Li family lacks is the first place.

You can get the first place, but you can't pass the test of Doctor Li. Isn't it normal?

If you pass the test, you will be directly appointed as an official, and then take the imperial examination again, and your ranking will be at the top.

After taking the exam, waiting to be assigned an official position may not be real power.

It is obviously to use the back door to make an appointment, but the assessment you go through is the same as that of the scholar.

If you must be assigned an official position directly, then you can go through the relationship of a certain king to become the chief clerk, county lieutenant, and county magistrate of the county in the prefecture outside Jingzhao Prefecture.

Then a group of people are watching you. You must not make mistakes, but also have achievements. The king who recommended you is under pressure.

What kind of relationship and talent do you need to make a king do this for you?

Knowing that you don't have achievements, how much loss will that king have to bear?

Of course, the other kind of visit is different. If you have talent but no imperial examination qualification, the requirements will be lowered. You will be given a civil servant position first, and then you can go through the selection of officials outside the official system.

The students are in a good mood again. Yes, it is difficult for you, Shi Yongqiu, to be recommended. It is probably impossible.

...

"Brother Yi, do you have good wine? I brought you a person. You know how good the regular script is. I will show you a painting today."

Li Yi was grilling skewers outside, and Li Chengqi followed him, bringing a man in his forties with him.

"I didn't bring wine or liquor for the grilled skewers. It's not good to drink liquor at night. I only have beer and rice wine for the skewers."

Li Yi first gave the maid a bunch of grilled skewers and asked her to send them to others. He kept some for himself and put them on the tray and walked over.

Putting down the tray, he clasped his fists to the man: "Brother, please. It's hot, how about some iced beer?"

"Good!" The other party also clasped his fists.

Li Yi poured three large draft beer cups of beer and took a sip first.

As a result, the man raised his head and gulped it down. It was a two-liter cup!

If it were a small beer bottle in the karaoke bar at that time, Li Yi would have a bottle of more than 300 ml, and a two-liter bottle could hold six cups.

A large can of 500 ml beer would be four cans. Let alone drinking, even drinking water would be like this...

Li Yi took a deep breath and put the cup in front of his mouth again, gulping, we can't lose the battle.

"Why is this stronger than before? I feel a little dizzy! Ugh!" The man who finished a large glass of wine burped at this time.

Li Yi: "..."

He turned and left, and went to a place where there was no one. Wow~~ He vomited everything, his stomach was bloated, and he hadn't eaten the skewers yet, but he was grilled by others. How could he eat so much beer?

On the way back, he took a detour and got edamame.

"Just now I... got cold, right?" Li Yi was about to say that he was going to get something, but he saw the man who was guzzling beer vomiting into the bucket.

"He had just eaten when he came here, and didn't drink alcohol. There was too much in his stomach." Li Chengqi helped explain.

"Okay, it's good to vomit, let's drink slowly."

Li Yi was lucky that he had been on an empty stomach. It was so uncomfortable to vomit after eating.
