Chapter 43

After going ashore, Zhao Xing and Xu Lao Ba returned to the River Scavenger's stall.

Return the voucher, take back the one tael deposit, and reward Xu Lao Ba. One is one, two is two, this is settled.

It is very late now, otherwise Xu Lao Ba would have to pull people to brag.

Zhao Xing looked at the time and returned to Gucheng.

"Wind up~"

The wind was born under his feet, his walking speed became faster, and one step was two or three meters.

He returned home at the end of the Hai hour.

"The harvest today is good. I only wanted to make a small fortune, but I didn't expect to harvest so much."

"It seems that my Yan-two Qi Luck is indeed extraordinary."

If it were a Yan-one level Qi Luck, I'm afraid I would have missed this fourth-tier pearl.

"With this harvest, I won't have to worry about food and drink for a short time, and the Qi gathering speed won't be slow." Zhao Xing packed the pearl and locked it in the box.

He still has some spare money now, so he is not in a hurry to sell it. He must sell it at a high price.

If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to sleep well after getting a windfall, but Zhao Xing eats and sleeps as usual.

The next day, he went to the Agricultural Department to work and study as usual.

After the Limit of Heat passed, the old agricultural official began to focus on theory and less on practice.

Directly told everyone that the next solar term would be a theoretical exam.

Reading books became the top priority for the clerks of the Agricultural Department.

"Old Agricultural Official, can you reveal which classics will be tested? Give us some key points?" A clerk asked.

Xue Wen smiled slightly: "Of course, listen well. Great View Wood, Materia Medica, Heavenly Time Hundred Explanations, Four Agricultural True Chapters, Monthly Order Phenology, Earth Vein Three Lights, Benefit Things Ten Thousand Articles..."

Forget it, asking is the same as not asking, they are all key points!

Extensive learning and strong memory are the essential qualities of agricultural officials. The nineteen states are vast, and there are many kinds of heavenly time and earth profit, not to mention all kinds of plants.

The imperial court sent you to a place to take office, and you don't even know what is suitable for planting and when to plant it. What is the use of you?

The above is still the basic requirement, belonging to kneeling and begging God for food.

Many special environments require agricultural officials to cast spells, change heavenly time, find earth veins, create a good environment, and then decide what to plant.

"In the south of Guangling Prefecture, there is a Yuanling County, where five Jia grains can be planted in spring, spring planting and spring ripening, one ear can feed five people."

"In summer, you can plant hundred blood vines, summer planting and summer harvesting, vine fruit can supplement hundred-type blood."

"In autumn... Qian Dong, what can be planted in autumn?" Chen Ziyu tilted his head to look at Qian Dong.

The latter spread his hands: "Why are you reciting such unpopular 'Cave Heaven Benefit Things'? Could it be that you still have a chance to be an official in the Cave Heaven Paradise?"

"That's true." Chen Ziyu planned to put it down, but only heard Zhao Xing beside him slowly say: "In autumn, you can raise golden beans, autumn planting and autumn harvesting, three days to gather Qi, one month to enter the grade, the price is comparable to gold."

"In winter, you can dig bone-continuing ginseng, ten days to connect bones, one hundred days to regenerate broken limbs."

Chen Ziyu opened the book and looked, and praised sincerely: "It is worthy of being Big Brother, the foundation is really solid."

Zhao Xing said with a bit of nostalgia: "It's not all, if you can live there for a few years, you will also know it like the back of your hand."

"Big Brother says as if he has been there himself. Guangling Prefecture is more than ten thousand miles away from our Pinghai Prefecture?"

"Can't I go in my dreams?" Zhao Xing laughed.

"Yes, of course, who told you to be the Big Brother."

"Hahaha."

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the White Dew solar term was approaching.

Zhao Xing was also studying hard day and night to prepare for the exam. Once he became a regular official, he could not only enter the Qi Luck Dynasty system, increase blessings and longevity, but also try to do many things.

For example, the treasure mountain of the Great Dream Academy, after entering the grade, it is estimated that he could try to get benefits again.

Becoming a formal agricultural official who has entered the grade can also expand Zhao Xing's mobility and learn more spells. Lay a more solid foundation for the future recovery version.

Zhao Xing is not working hard to become a regular, but working hard for longevity. If he were thrown into the Taizu version further away, he would just lie flat.

But thrown into the Jing Emperor period, he felt that he could still strive to survive until the recovery version.

This kind of motivation is very simple and very powerful. Think about it, if someone tells you, you start exercising from now on, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and live for another twenty years to wait for a technological breakthrough and immortality, will you do it?

"Don't marry a wife, don't have children, get promoted and receive a grade, the Qi Luck blessing of longevity will not be dispersed, all belonging to the official himself."

"In addition, as long as there are treasures that prolong life, the sooner you use them, the better, otherwise the shackles will become stronger and stronger, and the difficulty will become greater and greater."

"At the time of receiving the grade, it will bring about improvements in other aspects, but if I have reached the corresponding grade when receiving the grade, it will all be used to add longevity, so by next spring, I'd better reach the ninth tier of Qi gathering, so that the benefits of receiving the grade will all belong to longevity," Zhao Xing calculated in his heart.

Doing this has another advantage, that is, losing the official position and lowering the grade, the impact received will become very small, and even completely unaffected.

It is equivalent to saying that I have the ability to jump on this Qi Luck express train of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don't need you to pull me too much. You just need to open the car door. When you drive me off the car, I also have the ability to jump off the car without injury.

"Heaven's destiny is my destiny, heaven's luck is my luck, heaven's longevity is my longevity, return luck to the court? Can't return it at all." After calculating the future, Zhao Xing returned to the things in front of him.

September 7th, White Dew.

The Agricultural Department ushered in the first theoretical exam of the year.

The entire exam lasted for two days. You must not be late for admission, but you can hand in the paper in advance.

The main proposition person is still Xue Wen, but other agricultural officials need to review the questions together, and it must conform to the proposition thinking of Nanyang Prefecture, not too jumpy or too rigid.

After the test paper is graded, it needs to be archived and submitted to Nanyang Prefecture for review. The test results of other solar terms also need to be archived and submitted, but Nanyang Prefecture generally does not look at them carefully, only spot checks, unless someone reports it.

But the theoretical exam will definitely be reviewed in its entirety.

Because it doesn't matter if the clerk's spell is crooked, but if the theoretical thinking is crooked, it will be very dangerous.

During the Taizu period, there was an agricultural clerk in Nanyang Prefecture. I don't know where he saw the crooked book. In the exam, in order to show himself, he wrote a theoretical thought of "cutting off heaven and earth," and as a result, he offended both the Heavenly Time Faction and the Earth Profit Faction, and was directly caught in jail.

Even the Self Faction does not deny the Heavenly Time Faction and the Earth Profit Faction, but there is a master and servant, but "cutting off heaven and earth" denies the current calendar, and even denies the Tao itself, which belongs to the evil way. This is not rebellious, it is simply betrayal and insulting the country.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is relatively free in terms of speech. Later, this person was checked, and he was released after half a year in prison. He had nothing to do, but the book merchants who sold evil books were unlucky. After the strict crackdown and search, they were all exterminated.

"In the exam in a while, I must write it carefully, don't come up with any too advanced thoughts, just half a step ahead is enough to get an A-plus," Zhao Xing warned himself, and walked into the examination room.
