So now I can ask Li Chen for anything, but if I want money, Li Chen is really reluctant to give up.
"Your Highness."
Zhou Pingan seemed to know how strapped Li Chen was. He said, "The fastest way to control people's hearts is to use coercion and inducement."
"Wei Chen wants Dongchang to be coercive."
"But inducement is not enough without money."
"His Highness will just keep it in the hands of those people temporarily. After everything calms down and the dust settles, Your Highness will take it back with interest. It's just a matter of casual words."
This sentence completely moved Li Chen.
"Yes, it's just with them temporarily. Is my money so easy to get?"
Li Chen smiled happily when his thoughts became clear, and after some calculations, the Liu family's soap business has never paid dividends, so he should be able to scrape together one million taels of silver.
Now that the money had its origin and destination, Li Chen suddenly felt relieved and said with a wave of his hand: "That's right, I will order someone to prepare the money for you to take away."
After saying that, Li Chen reminded him with confidence: "When the time comes, remember to record all the officials who were bribed with money, their names, when and how much they received, and the approximate amount of their family property. Don't miss anything."
Zhou Ping'an smiled, but immediately replied: "Wei minister, I obey."
"OK."
Li Chen smiled relaxedly and said, "Continue eating!"
The palace examination is over, some are happy and some are sad.
Faced with this ridiculously difficult question, most of the candidates were vomiting their sorrows after leaving the palace. Some were pessimistic and even began to think about their options.
Anyway, they are guaranteed to have Jinshi status, and with the blessing of the title of Emperor's Disciple, even if they are queued up in the short term, they will not be able to get an official position. But with these two statuses, it will definitely be no problem to find a rich official to be his son-in-law.
of.
As for Hou Yushu's matter, after the initial excitement, it gradually calmed down.
After all, no one would really remember a dead person, not to mention that this dead person had offended the current prince, so no one would remember him.
It's a pity for Xu Junlou.
He hasn't seen Hou Yushu running around the capital naked yet.
Apart from this pity, what Xu Junlou is most concerned about is the results of the imperial examination.
He has a strong self-confidence that he will definitely succeed this time.
In the evening, when his uncle Xu Changqing came back, Xu Junlou immediately went up to make some innuendo.
After taking off his official uniform and giving it to his wife to take away, Xu Changqing glanced at Xu Junlou who was asking questions and said: "I know what you want to ask. I can't get any information here. When will the results be given? What is the ranking?
, His Royal Highness personally decided it, and no one else can know about it."
Xu Junlou was a little disappointed.
At this time, Xu Changqing added: "But when your paper was brought up, His Highness asked me to look at it with him. Judging from his expression, at least he is satisfied with your paper, at least he doesn't hate it."
Xu Junlou's eyes lit up and he said happily: "That's great."
"Don't be happy too early."
Xu Changqing sat down, and Xu Junlou poured a cup of hot tea with great discernment and served it to him.
Xu Changqing took the tea cup, looked at Xu Junlou, and sighed softly and said: "The situation is changing so fast right now. I actually regret pushing you in. If possible, I would even ask you to give up this scientific examination.
