Li Qingzhi and his friends bought some food at the dock in the provincial capital and brought it on board.
This is the money paid by Li Qingzhi. Although Zhu Xunmiao is rich and likes to pay first, he cannot always pay.
Li Qingzhi put the food on the boat and asked everyone to take it if they wanted to eat.
But the others were not hungry yet, so he was the only one who took a bun and ate it slowly.
Zhu Xunmiao was still very excited. Seeing Li Qingzhi's calm face, he couldn't help asking, "Brother Li, you got the first place in the exam, why are you so calm?"
Li Qingzhi smiled and said, "I just looked calm on the outside, but I was still very excited inside."
He was just saying this. He must be happy to have won the first place in the college entrance examination, but to be excited... I can't say.
His journey to the imperial examination had just begun.
The weather has been much cooler these days, so it isn't too uncomfortable to bask in the sun. Li Qingzhi lay on the boat basking in the sun while thinking about what to do next.
There were county schools and prefectural schools in the Great Qi Dynasty. People like him who passed the examination to become a scholar could go to the prefectural school to study, but of course they could choose not to go.
Li Qingzhi did not plan to go. He planned to build a school himself after returning to Chongcheng County.
His school accepts both male and female students, but does not charge tuition, and provides food and accommodation.
He would find someone to teach students skills such as arithmetic, reading, bookkeeping, and embroidery. Once they had learned enough, these students could go to Jueweizhai or Jinye Embroidery Workshop to work.
The positioning of this school is a vocational training school.
Anyone who comes to study in this school will have to work for him for a few years in the future. The conditions are quite strict, but Li Qingzhi is not afraid of not being able to recruit students.
There are many people who cannot afford to eat these days. If there is a school like this, they will probably flock to it.
In addition to building a school, he also planned to write a book under the pen name "Qiongdu Sanren" about the flood in Yu County five years ago.
Of course, he would not write from the original owner's perspective. Li Qingzhi planned to use the writing style of "Records of Injustice" to write about some of the "oral" experiences of the people of Yu County.
The title of the book is "Records of Fleeing from Famine". It records the experiences of the elderly, children, women, men... and their previous lives in Yu County.
The original owner's father, the deceased magistrate of Yu County, can also be mentioned in the book.
Li Qingzhi closed his eyes and dozed off.
Seeing Li Qingzhi like this, Zhu Xunmiao also felt a little sleepy, so he covered his face with a piece of clothing and lay down to sleep.
Xu Qifei didn't sleep. He took out the previous issues of "Anjiang Collection" that Zhu Xunmiao found for him and read them carefully.
When Xu Qifei's nephew saw his uncle like this, he curled his lips and started to eat the food on the table.
Seeing this, Xu Qifei sighed secretly.
This time he came to the provincial capital to take part in the college entrance examination. His eldest brother asked his nephew to take care of him and gave his nephew twenty taels of silver.
As a result, his nephew had been eating and drinking for free at Zhu's house, and he didn't even buy anything for the family, and he didn't take care of him at all.
The nephew spent all the money given by his elder brother on his own.
If he had known this, he would definitely not have brought his nephew to the provincial capital.
Li Qingzhi was pretending to doze off at first, but later he really fell asleep.
Chongcheng County.
When Li Qingzhi learned about his college entrance examination results, Jin Xiaoye and Wu Baichuan had negotiated a deal.
