The accounting clerks were all trained by Gu Chengyu, and they used the accounting method in the previous life, but they didn't use Arabic numerals instead, so they looked more complicated than in the previous life.
Gu Chengyu looked at the expenses and income in detail for about half an hour, and felt that they should be about the same, with not much error.
"The account books are very detailed. Go tell the two shopkeepers that as long as they do a good job, they will not be unfairly paid every month and there will be dividends at the end of the year. But if you want to take advantage of the loopholes, don't blame me.
You're welcome." As for Shopkeeper Niu, he felt that it still needed to be hammered. After all, he couldn't rest assured that he didn't have the contract of betrayal in his hand.
"In addition, add one tael of silver per month to the two accounting offices." He bought all of his accounting offices, and adding the monthly payment will allow them to work more faithfully.
"Yes!" Ming Yan took the errand and went out.
The next day, the release of the results was related to whether the students could enter the officialdom. After passing the examination, they would be scholars, and they could be regarded as people with merit and fame, so the candidates got up earlier.
He Shunian had been waiting in the lobby early in the morning. When he saw Gu Chengyu and the others coming downstairs, he immediately pulled them towards the place where the results were released.
Among the few people, Gu Chengyu is the one who does not need to worry the least. With the protection of the imperial edict, it is certain that he will pass the court examination, and he may even be able to win the case. Although the Holy Emperor praised him, if the writing is really unsightly, then it will only
You can be in second place, but after all, you still have to post the test papers. The first place has to convince the public, right?
There were many students at the results release office. There were about 200 people in the second re-examination. Including the candidates' families, there were quite a few people. Only forty people were admitted, so this ratio was even lower.
"The results haven't been released yet, so it's useless to be anxious. It's better to wait here!" Gu Chengyu grabbed He Shunian who was about to push forward. Before the results were released, the front was already crowded with people.
But when the officer posted the list, these people still had to be pushed aside by the officer, so they might as well wait where they were! Mingmo was good at it, so it was still possible to squeeze in.
"Chengyu! Just let him go! He is also anxious." Sun Xian was also very nervous now. From the beginning of the exam to now, he has already taken ten exams. Who wouldn't be nervous?
"Hey? Do you think he will be the leader of the case this time?" One of the candidates glanced at Gu Chengyu and the others who were standing by the tree, squeezed the candidates next to them, and asked.
"Who knows? A good strategy doesn't necessarily mean a good arithmetic. Besides, the poetry this time is so rare that I can't even find the source. How would he know about it at such a young age? I wonder
Ah! Relying on the imperial edict, I can get second place, that’s it!” The candidate didn’t believe that Gu Chengyu would be right.
"Ha! Are you the candidates who took the re-examination last year??" A candidate cut in next to him and glanced at the two candidates.
"How do you know?" The examinee was very confused. Did they have words carved on their faces? And what did this person say? Did he still look down on them?
"Because this year's candidates all know Gu Chengyu's name. His poems have been spread all over the city, and they have even been included in poetry books! His poems are sold in bookstores. How is it possible that you say his poems are not good?
"
Gu Chengyu had a good ear and felt a little helpless when he heard them talking about him. It was not good for this man to be famous. He became the center of attention wherever he went, and everyone talked about him when they saw him.
"We have heard that he is good at poetry and prose, but does he know the source? He has only read a few books? At this age, could it have started in his mother's womb?" The examinee snorted, and they
Most people start enlightenment when they are five to eight years old. They study for nearly twenty years before passing the college entrance examination. Even then they are considered to be talented.
There were many candidates nearby who immediately echoed.
After Gu Chengyu listened, he touched his nose. Didn't he start reading from his mother's womb? It was even earlier than that!
Ye Zhiqiu curled his lips aside, don't these people know that there are people outside the world, and there is a heaven outside the world? Is Gu Chengyu an ordinary person?
"You said there are few people who have studied at the junior level? I think you have little experience, right? Look at the one with him over there. Isn't that the younger one? Didn't they also pass the college entrance examination?" The candidate who later interrupted said the final sentence.
, just squeezed to another place, how ignorant!
They say birds of a feather flock together. If he stayed with these two candidates for too long, he might become stupid.
"According to what I say! The final results haven't come out yet! It's useless for you to talk about it!" Another candidate intervened to stop everyone's discussion.
Gu Chengyu was somewhat aware of it. Regardless of whether he was first or second, weren't those people jealous of this ranking? They thought he had been praised by the imperial edict and thought he had some shit luck. But they didn't want to think about what would have happened if he hadn't been
Think about it, will the imperial edict come? He relies on his strength!
"Look! Look! The list is here!" Someone shouted at this time, and the crowd immediately became commotion. All the candidates moved towards the list, and the place was surrounded by water.
"What are you squeezing for? How can we get in with so many people squeezing us?" The guard holding the paste is used to seeing this scene, and he does it every three years.
Some of these people are about to become scholars, and some may also become scholars in the future. It is hard for them to make efforts to stop them. If they get into trouble, they, little officials, cannot bear this responsibility!
The officer finally squeezed through the crowd and posted the list on the wall, but the candidates swarmed the two of them and almost blocked them inside.
"Master, look at me, I'll squeeze in and take a look!" Ming Mo rolled up his sleeves and prepared to squeeze in. Although he was good at it, he was a little scared looking at so many crazy candidates. But don't
Taking these weak scholars into consideration, they become crazy and no one can resist them!
Ming Mo closed his eyes and rushed through the crowd, pushing his way forward despite the curses.
"Eh? He is really number one!" A scream came from among the candidates.
"Really, it seems like you did well in the exam!"
"Ah! Impossible, why am I not on the list? I obviously got the answer right with my senior brother, so there is no way the arithmetic question is wrong!" A candidate said angrily as he smashed the wall.
"It's really impossible. How could I be ranked so low? I also wrote that poem."
When the list came out, he remembered people's doubts. Gu Chengyu thought for a while, maybe it was because there were two arithmetic questions. Dayan focused on literary talent, and this time there was suddenly an extra arithmetic question, which was a little more difficult. Wrong.
Naturally there are more people.
There are also poems and essays. Not many people know the source. If you don’t know the meaning of the original text, you may miss the topic. That is, no matter how good your literary talent is, if you get the wrong question, it will be wrong.
As for him getting first place, he was not surprised at all. He could guarantee that his arithmetic questions and test poems were correct. As for whether the poems were written well or not, among the candidates who answered the questions incorrectly, it seemed less important.
