Fulang's family has turned things around

Chapter 41-60

With Jiang Zhiwei around, we can be more tactful in making friends with scholars.

　　Outsiders don't know that the relationship between Uncle San and their family has become strained. There are many people who are trying to make peace, so they don't need to take the initiative to do so.

　　Xie Xingheng said: "Those who are qualified to take the exam will be brought along when the time comes."

　　When I arrived in Kyoto, I would feel that I had gained nothing by praising the Jiang family.

　　If they say something bad - that's the trend, I don't think they would dare to do that.

　　Not every scholar has the opportunity to take the provincial examination. Scholars also have to take examinations, which are held at the same time as the academy examinations. There are two examinations every three years, one for grading and one for subject examinations.

　　Rating is commonly understood as "welfare level". Xie Xingheng ranks high and is a student on government stipend.

　　Scholars on government stipends were not lifelong, they were re-evaluated and re-ranked on a regular basis. Scholars who did not make progress would also be stripped of their honors.

　　According to his memory, the monthly salary ranged from one to three taels of silver. In most cases, there was a minimum of one tael of silver, and the rest was supplemented by rice and flour.

　　The most he received at one time was more than 170 kilograms of aged rice.

　　Keshi, commonly understood as "entry ticket to the provincial examination", is a bit like the modern pre-examination.

　　He also qualified.

　　Well, the original body got it.

　　I got a lot of credit.

　　I'll go back and build a big house for my elder brother and his wife.

　　Among the six scholars on the farm, three were able to take the provincial examination, including Xu Xingzhi.

　　Xie Xingheng did not cause trouble for Xu Xingzhi, which gave them an opportunity to fight among themselves.

　　The days are long in summer, so Jiang Zhiyu took him to patrol the village.

　　The farm is very large, and we only toured the core area.

　　In addition to the soy sauce shop and factory, they also visited the duck pond with fish fry.

　　Then I looked at the nearby vegetable gardens and farmlands, and then took a look at the chicks being raised on a trial basis.

　　"The farm is still demarcating the land. It has just started, and I wanted to be closer so I could take care of it if anything happened, so I didn't let them go over there." Jiang Zhiyu said.

　　The last stop is the soy product processing plant.

　　A makeshift workshop with long bamboo curtains hanging on all sides, containing ten millstones, three donkeys and seven people.

　　Pure natural stone mill, you can smell the bean fragrance from a long distance away.

　　As the sun sets, the people on the farm go home from work one after another.

　　Whether they were local tenants or Fengjiang folks, there were more than a dozen people queuing up.

　　The soy product processing factory needs to hone its skills and also wait for the store to be completed. The existing products are not enough to sell at the farm.
