Chapter 119 Waiting for the North Wind to Come
In any case, there are a total of six passes in the long road to the imperial examination, and the first step of the county test is over.

If the county test is equivalent to the elementary school entrance examination, the second step of the government examination is equivalent to the senior high school entrance examination.

Then the third step is the road test, which is equivalent to the college entrance examination. Only after passing the road test can you be considered a scholar.

And if you pass the county examination and the government examination, and then fail to pass the examination, you can be called a child student.

Children can wear blue shirts in their uniforms, and a general official can be written on the tombstone after death.

The time of the second step of the prefectural examination is not far from that of the county examination. This year, the Wuxian County Examination is at the beginning of April, and at the end of April is the Suzhou Prefecture Examination.

This will be another large-scale exam with an unknown number of thousands of people signing up. The exams in developed areas of imperial examinations are so arrogant.

The government wants to hurry up and finish the two-level exams before the hot and humid summer arrives.

There is still nearly a month before the government examination, Professor Lin only hopes that this time will allow him to review his homework.

The day after the county test released the list, Professor Lin left Sun Shishi's house.

Probably because Sun Lian hasn't asked for money for the past ten days, Sun Lian's mother's face has become more and more ugly.

Professor Lin is also a person with a temper. How can a real man depend on others and judge his face?
So he moved away resolutely and returned to the hall outside Xumen.

Stepping into the Wulong tea room, Lin Tailai shouted to Gao Changjiang in surprise:
"Oh! my old chap, what's the matter with you?
Your complexion is simply terrible, even worse than me who hangs on the beam and prepares for the exam day and night, it is really terrible! "

Gao Changjiang threw down the wine bottle and shouted, "I want to resign!"

Lin Tailai pointed to Gao Changjiang, and said to the left and right Zhang brothers:

"If a person wants to resign, it's either because he was underpaid or because he was wronged. Guess what is the reason for Lao Gao?"

Zhang Wen answered wittily: "There are probably two reasons!"

Lin Tailai turned to Gao Changjiang and said, "Starting from today, you will become a regular in advance! And the monthly salary will be raised to five taels!"

"Good sitting! Thank you for your appreciation!" Gao Changjiang responded.

For ordinary people today, a monthly salary of five taels is definitely a high salary, comparable to the normal salary of the prefect magistrate.

Lin Tailai slapped Zhang Dalang backhandedly, "You were talking nonsense just now! When did Mr. Gao ever get wronged!"

Then Lin Tailai asked Gao Changjiang again: "In order to prepare for the county exam these days, I only read the books of sages and sages, and I don't hear anything outside the window. What's the big deal in the club?"

Gao Changjiang replied: "Two days ago, Huang Wuniang and Mrs. Fan fought again!
I heard that there was a small salt vendor in Mrs. Fan's salt area who went to Hengtang fish market to buy, and Huang Wuniang sold salt to him. Mrs. Fan felt that Huang Wuniang had gone too far! "

"Mother Xipi!" Lin Zuoguan had a splitting headache, it was really hard for an upright official to break up housework!

Gao Changjiang continued: "Fortunately, Uncle Song from the main hall came forward and settled the dispute between the two."

Lin Zuoguan suddenly felt again, what is meant by "an old man in a family is like a treasure".

Gao Changjiang took the opportunity to say: "Speaking of your words, this is probably called introversion, right?

If the society does not continue to expand and make the pancakes big enough, the society will surely fall into endless involution! "

Professor Lin squinted and asked, "What do you mean?"

Gao Changjiang emphasized again: "Those jumping clowns in Mudu Town used the name of repelling you to make a big splash, and set up the banner of anti-sitting, and there are still people who believe it!
According to inquiring news, there are already four or five people who are willing to join the big league on the east coast of Taihu Lake!

Coupled with the original three halls in Mudu Town, this big alliance will definitely become a big problem for the community! "

Lin Zuoguan said disdainfully: "I see him like a chicken and a dog!"

Gao Changjiang said very anxiously: "If they really condense into a momentum, at least 500 people can be mobilized, and with the bravery of sitting in the hall, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight!

Every day of delay, the enemy will grow stronger. What are you waiting for? "

Lin Zuoguan faced the north, cupped his hands, and said poetically: "Wait for the north wind to come."

Gao Changjiang: "???"

He really doesn't understand, the world of Jianghu is the law of the jungle, it's not poetic!

After communicating with Gao Changjiang, Lin Tailai was about to leave the tea house.

But when he walked to the door, Lin Zuoguan suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "I heard that you called yourself a public platform after getting drunk a few days ago?"

Gao Changjiang immediately denied: "No! No! Nonsense! Someone must have misunderstood!"

Then Lin Zuoguan returned to the entrance of the hall, summoned the Four King Kongs, and listened to the recent work report.

Yu Gongjing, one of the Four King Kong, said: "During this time, the first capital has been completely straightened out, and the chiefs of each map have expressed their cooperation with our Anle branch hall!"

Then he said with some unfinished thoughts: "After taking down the Shanyi Hall and the Fifth Capital, they should be handed over to our branch hall to take care of them.

As a result, all the fifth capitals were handed over to the main hall, and we still only have one capital in the branch hall, and the brothers couldn't use it. "

Lin Zuoguan reprimanded: "Take a long-term view, don't always stare at the three melons and two dates in the village!

Most of the protection tax comes from the government, how much money do we have in our hands? "

The Four King Kongs finally heard it, and they seemed to have other ideas when sitting in the hall, and they asked excitedly together:

"Then what are we going to do next? From the rural capital to the urban areas of Nanhao and Shangtang streets?"

It is definitely better to plant flags in the bustling business district than to go to the countryside to collect the money!

Lin Zuoguan instructed: "The next step, you all learn more about river engineering, and in the future, you will give priority to recruiting people who have done river engineering!"

The Four King Kong were immediately puzzled, what's the use of river engineering knowledge?

Could it be that sitting in the hall was sent by the county government to serve on the river embankment again, and wanted to catch the brothers?

Even if you want to work hard on the river embankment, you don't need to know anything about river engineering.

In Gusu Yili, not far from the branch of Anle Hall in Shijia Lane, Wang Shizhen, the leader of the world's literary circles, has been recuperating for a while, and her physical condition has finally recovered to that of more than half a month ago.

Wang Shisu accompanied his father for a walk in the garden, and reported: "The county examination has released the list, and Lin Tailai is the top case."

Leader Wang Lao nodded: "As expected, I asked Feng Zhixian to arrange it like this."

For a person like Lin Tailai who is very good at local affairs, the county test can't stop him at all.

Even if he was eliminated in the county examination this year, next year and beyond, a capable person like Lin Tailai will be able to pass the county examination sooner or later.

It's better to take advantage of this year's exam and make some small articles.

For example, first give a high-profile county examination case first, and then the government examination is brushed off!In the field of literature, this is a great shame!

Seeing that his father's physical condition had recovered, Wang Shisu reminded him: "The popularity of the literary conference has dropped dramatically."

The old leader Wang responded calmly and said, "This is also what I expected."

Wang Shisu asked: "Father will continue to fight Lin Tailai?"

It can be said that most of the popularity of this literary conference was suppressed by Lin Tailai!
Originally, according to the normal process, it should take about half a month to gradually warm up, and finally announce the candidates for the new five sons, and the literary conference reached its climax.

As a result, from the very beginning, Lin Tailai repeatedly stole the popularity of the old alliance leader, causing the old alliance leader to focus on regaining the popularity.

After repeated entanglements, the leader Wang fell ill, and the time has been delayed for a month.

This made many attendees who came here admiringly feel impatient.

At the same time, the Five Dragons Teahouse launched another cultural forum dedicated to vulgar and hot topics to attract people.

What's more, the cultural forum directly predicted the list of the new five, and it looks very professional and very credible.

It was as if the most suspenseful finale had been leaked ahead of time, and many people felt uninterested in the literary conference and walked away.

This caused the popularity of the literary conference to be further destroyed. In addition, many people were not rich themselves, so they left because they couldn't afford it.

Old leader Wang didn't worry about the popularity of the literary conference, but instead asked, "Has Feng Shike left Suzhou?"

Wang Shisu replied, "No."

"Then what about Hu Yinglin?" the leader Wang asked again.

Wang Shisu replied again: "He has returned to Huzhou temporarily."

The old alliance leader sighed: "This is the so-called, the wind knows the strong grass."

Wang Shisu didn't understand why his father was still paying attention to these things. It doesn't matter who goes or who stays!
The most important thing now should be how to end the literary conference that has already become a mess, so as not to become the laughing stock of my father in his later years!
But the leader of the old alliance, Wang, taught his son: "You must be patient, determined, and persevering in doing things!
What ended up?The literary conference does not need to end!All I'm waiting for is the wind from the north!

The most important enemy in the current literary world is Lin Tailai. Only by eradicating Lin Tailai's poison first can the smooth progress of the literary world conference be guaranteed! "

To deal with such local black and evil forces, it is impossible to use literati methods, and it is necessary to borrow government power.

But Feng County Magistrate of Wu County is facing resignation, so he is a lame magistrate, and after being caught by Lin Tailai, he is powerless.

Now that Feng Zhixian is gone, if a powerful Xinxian County comes over, it will be the end of Lin Tailai's evil forces!

Wang Shisu was still speechless. His father's idea was correct, but there were still problems in practice.

It will take at least a month for Xinzhi County to come over after the selection of officials by the capital.

By then, the Literary Conference would have long since become yesterday's daylily, and even the daylily would be cold!

But Wang Shisu didn't want to disturb his father's elegance, so he asked again:
"Even if Lin Tailai's poison is eliminated, what can we do? The popularity of the literary conference has gone down."

"Then I will revive the popularity of the literary conference!" Old leader Wang burst out with astonishing confidence!

This is the background accumulated by the master of the literary world for 30 years!
"Since the popularity of the new five sons has gone down, and the hearts of those who feel that they can't be shortlisted are gone, let's increase the quota!
In addition to the new five sons, another ten or eighteen people will be elected!Form five sons and ten heroes, or five sons and eighteen scholars!

Those who can't be selected into the new five sons will fight for the places again, won't the enthusiasm pick up again? "

Wang Shisu can only say that the father is the father, and Jiang is still old and spicy!
The leader of the literary world for 30 years is really not in vain, manipulating people's hearts can be called superb!
As long as you don't meet someone like Lin, you will be invincible in the literary world.
