Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 66
"You...why are you..."

Zhu Zhishan was almost stunned.

Participating in the imperial examinations and becoming the leader in Chungui is the dream of scholars all over the world. This kid actually said that he only wants to be a scholar. What a brain problem!

"Master, let me tell you the truth, my student! The purpose of my examination as a scholar is to think that I can be exempted from corvee, land tax, and preferential benefits such as no guides when I go out..."

Qin Shao told the truth.

Although he has an advantage in reading and endorsement now, and he still has an advantage in taking the test of talent, but the children's test and the master's test are not necessarily the same!

And reading takes too long!

What he is most interested in is being able to buy a lot of land and become a big landlord, and then he can do some business, earn a lot of money, and just live a happy life!
He doesn't want to spend all his youth on studying. Seeing that the old man Zhu is so talented, he has never passed the test from a young man with a beard and hair, and he has never passed the test. These days are too hard!
"You... a child can't be taught! The most proud thing in life is getting a title on the gold list, defending the family and defending the country. If you pass the exam to be a scholar, don't you just settle down?"

The old man Zhu was so angry that his beard trembled.

"No, master, if I pass the examination as a scholar, I can buy more land, cultivate the land well, and then do some business, earn money to buy land, land to generate money, money to buy land, and strive to become a free and easy landlord!"

Qin Shao talked about the happy days he dreamed of, with a smile unconsciously showing on the corner of his mouth.

"You are stupid! You only know that scholars are exempt from 100 mu of land tax, but you don't know that juren can be exempted from 200 mu, or even [-] mu in a good year. You only want to be a scholar, why don't you consider juren, and how much money is a scholar? Short-sighted rustic!"

I wish the old man has always regarded reading as an elegant and precious thing, and it has become completely mercenary when he comes out of the mouth of his apprentice.

If it was someone else, he would have spit out long ago and disdain to be with them.

It's just that although this student always makes me angry, but after getting along for a long time, he is just like his own child.

Although he often reprimanded him, the crops are always good for himself. Although his student's words are directly utilitarian, the old man Zhu is very angry.

But when I think of myself as a student who escaped all the way here, without father or mother, it is understandable to be more forward-looking and more worldly, and I need my patience to guide me.

"Can Juren save one or two hundred acres?"

Qin Shao was speechless when he heard this. He only inquired about the treatment of scholars, but did not ask about Juren.

"In addition to exempting 30 acres of land tax, you have all the benefits of a scholar, and there is also a subsidy of [-] taels of silver every year. Even if you don't buy land, many people will be willing to attach the land to your name. You don't have to work hard, you can get the tax The gift is drawn!"

The old man Zhu didn't want to talk about these worldly things at first, but for the sake of himself as a student, he could only lure them slowly.

If it was someone else, with such a direct idea, even if he could win the exam, Zhu Zhishan would not bother to be with him, a vulgar person.

But my student looks worldly, pure and kind, and is different from those people.

"Thank you, Master, for telling me that if... if I can pass the exam, I can continue my studies. Of course, it will also delay farming. I can try the rural examination. Anyway, it will take two years, so there is no rush."

Seeing that the old man Zhu was so eager, Qin Shao had no choice but to agree.

However, I didn't hold out much hope for the rural examination.

You must know that a talented person like the old man Zhu only needs to take the provincial examination five times, but he can only get into the Juren, so it is worth participating in it!

……

When Qin Shao returned home, he found that the house was quiet.

Wang Yin went to the field.

There is actually no work there now, and Zhang Dazhuang is responsible for weeding and so on.

But Wang Yin is familiar with there now, and likes to run there.

Qin Shao didn't let Xiao Sanzi go there during this time.

I want to study, and there is only Han Jinrong in the family. Although the third son is young, he can be considered a man, so there is still a man to look after the home.

"Grandpa, you are out of school!"

The third son walked over from the backyard with a basket in his hands, apparently to add fodder for the family mules and horses.

"Girl... the girl is in the room."

The third son lowered his voice and said.

"what happened?"

The third son whispered like this, there must be some problem.

"In the morning, I went out to buy vegetables with my girl. I met a merchant on West Street who was buying medicinal materials. The family drove out and said that they were going to Shangjing. Just didn't come out of the room."

The third son reported in a low voice.

Qin Shao sighed.

This Han Jinrong is probably the parents who want to go to Beijing.

Although the girl said that she didn't want to look for her parents anymore and felt that her parents hadn't proved her innocence in time, she was still unwilling to see her parents and ask her clearly.

Qin Shao stood at Han Jinrong's door and knocked.

Before he stretched out his hand, the door opened.

Han Jinrong opened the door with a bundle.

"Grandpa, you are out of class!"

Han Jinrong smiled, her eyes crooked.

But Qin Shao still saw the slight redness in the corner of his eyes.

"What's in your hand?"

Qin Shao was a little surprised to see the clothes bag in his hand.

Her eyes are still black and bright, these days are not as bumpy as before, and her face is more and more beautiful.

"Isn't my grandfather studying? I will make a lot of friends in the future, so I will make two more clothes for my grandfather so that I can replace them."

Han Jinrong handed Qin Shao the clothes wrapped in the bundle.

Although the summer afternoon was hot and dry, Qin Shao saw beads of sweat oozing from Han Jinrong's neck.

"The weather is hot, just make replacements, I'm not too particular."

Qin Shao didn't want her to be too tired from the bottom of his heart.

The little girl was also a pampered person at home before, and she suffered a lot along the way.

Even when she settles down, she has to provide for the meals of several people in the family, three meals a day, and she has to make clothes for herself, which is not easy.

Holding those clothes, Qin Shao thought of his mother in the previous life.

When I was young, my mother learned to tailor and also made clothes for herself.

That kind of tranquility has not been enjoyed for many years.

Han Jinrong was actually struggling during this time.

Qin Shao's surprise when facing the clothes made her feel that it seemed inappropriate to do so.

After all, they are all young men and women, so it is not appropriate to make clothes in private without people's consent
As they live longer, it is inevitable to get acquainted with the people around them.

Some people will ask about their relationship with Qin Shao.

She wanted to say that she was his fiancée.

Although they acquiesced to this relationship on the road, it was only because of special circumstances at the time.

Now that it has settled down, those worries are over.

Qin Shao didn't really admit this relationship until he knew it.

Although his parents are gone, it doesn't mean that his parents have not decided on a wife for him.

The two did not have a matchmaker's words, nor did they have a marriage certificate.

The reason why he didn't say it clearly was maybe just because he didn't want to embarrass himself.

He rescued himself in his own danger, and his righteousness was beyond the sky, so he should respect him like an elder brother instead of embarrassing him.

Thinking of this, her eyes dimmed.

Qin Shao thought it was because she couldn't go to Beijing.

"Now that Shangjing is newly settled, it is not very safe to go to Shangjing. After tomorrow's child test, if we have time, we can go to Shangjing."

Qin Shao comforted.

"Father..."

Han Jinrong didn't expect him to say this.

"Master, I'm just a little sad for a while. It's okay. I'm not in a hurry to go to Beijing."

Hearing that he cared about him so much, he thought of the troubled times, he lost his parents, and never mentioned his marriage.

Thinking about the dependence on each other all the way, that kind of feeling has already penetrated into the bone marrow, and he will definitely not hurt himself.

Han Jinrong's little girl's awkward and sad emotions disappeared in an instant.

"Tomorrow is a holiday. I heard that there is a cool lake in Xuanmiao Guanshu, and the incense inside is also strong. Let's go sightseeing together tomorrow! Third son, when Wang Yin comes back, tell him and make preparations in advance."

Qin Shao said.

He turned his head and shouted to the little third son who was on the side.
