Xu Chang and Ying'er are much more well-behaved than Grandma Hong's previous one. Now Xu Ping is the one who decides everything in the farm. They just help from the side, check for omissions and make up for shortcomings, and never make decisions on their own.

Because Xu Ping ordered everyone to return to the yard and the banquet was ready.

A main table was in the middle, and Xu Ping took Zhao Zi and Sang Yi over to sit, and Xu Chang and Gao Daquan accompanied him.

After the wine was poured, Xu Ping picked up the bowl and greeted Zhao Zi first: "Today's incident is so offensive to Tisha. It's just an excuse for everyone to know. Tisha must not take it to heart!"

Zhao Zi is not a rough man with a straight heart. Although he doesn't hold a grudge on this matter, he is unavoidable to feel uncomfortable. After drinking, he said to Xu Ping: "The owner of the little manor today doesn't need to mention this matter. If he loses the gambling battle, Zhao Zi will naturally admit it. Even if he reveals it, I will practice a few capable subordinates in the future and compete with you."

Xu Ping smiled and did not answer, and the matter was over.

After drinking a few times, Zhao Zi drank with Gao Daquan and talked about some things on the swords, guns and sticks, and ignored Xu Ping.

Xu Ping knew that he still had a grudge in his heart and was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he only talked with Sang Yi.

Sang Yi was a Jinshi in the village, so the two talked about poetry and books. Xu Ping's knowledge was learned from Chinese class in his previous life. He had been reading books with Lin Wensi for so many hours, but he didn't make any progress.

However, after a while, Xu Ping found that Sang Yi was not much better than him. When talking about some profound places, he was even worse than himself.

This discovery surprised Xu Ping. This was a serious scholar who had passed the test of the provincial examination. He was a Jinshi Kobe who was not sure how high he was. He was still above Lin Wensi. After a long time of confusion, he finally came to an impatient conclusion that there were too many places for Kaifeng Prefecture, and the exams here were too humble. As long as you study hard for a few years, you can become a tribute student. Although it was not very beneficial, you would at least waive your labor.

In fact, during the Northern Song Dynasty, especially in the early and middle periods, Kaifeng Prefecture had many quotas for release, and there were several times when people who did not write wrong words were included, and there was not enough people to send the number of quotas for release. The examiner who was the chief examiner reported and asked to cut the quotas for release of the Kaifeng Prefecture, but the emperor refused to cut the quotas for release because this was the capital. It was not until a large number of high-quality talents poured in, and this situation gradually improved.

This is also because the imperial examinations had just begun to rise and were in a period of slowly improving. Although Bianliang City is known to have a population of over one million, the army and officials account for a large proportion, and the real natives are not much more than some major states. At this time, scholars did not have the status of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. As long as they passed the scholars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they would have fame and enjoy various privileges. At this time, only those who participated in the provincial examinations had the benefit of avoiding their own labor. There was no atmosphere in society where they would study hard at all costs.

After understanding this, Xu Ping thought, if you can read casually, you can also create a title of a Jinshi Jinshi in the village?

Of course, if you want to truly pass the Jinshi, the requirements will be much higher.

The number of people who came from Kaifeng Prefecture to issue a separate account is calculated separately from the Imperial College. The low-end candidates of Kaifeng Prefecture are not as good as the high-end candidates. In fact, in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, the people who came from Kaifeng Prefecture and Imperial College together accounted for one-quarter to one-fifth of the Jinshi who passed the imperial examinations all year round.

Sang Yi and Xu Ping are both scholars who are half-bucketed with water, and their personal interests are not on this. After a while, they can avoid poetry and books in a sympathy.

Sang Yi asked Xu Ping: "Little owner, can the thieves around here tell me?"

Xu Ping organized and told Sang Yi about the news he got from Li Wei that day. Of course, he only said that Li Wei was a local elder and omitted the plot of beating him.

Sang Yi pondered for a while and said, "Money is touching! If it is just an ordinary thief, it will be fine to deal with it. Now it will be a little troublesome to involve Huang Baizhu."

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Does the little master know that the alchemist really has magic?"

Xu Ping was surprised and replied: "Aren't the alchemy all lies? Where is there any real or false?"

Sang Yi shook his head: "Don't say that little owner, don't say that. How can you tell all the things in the world be? I have also heard some medicine. The medicine silver pointed out is just like real silver. No matter how you burn it with fire, the color will not change at all!"

Xu Ping was a highly educated person in his previous life. How could he believe such a ridiculous thing? He said to Sang Yi: "Scholars don't have to be entangled with this. They can't be true or false. Copper is copper. No matter how he illuminates it, it cannot be turned into silver. These techniques are all deceitful!"

Seeing Xu Ping speaking firmly, Sang Yi said that he was a true scholar who did not believe in the strange power and chaos. He viewed this kind of thing in a pedantic way and stopped arguing. He said: "No matter whether it is real or fake, as long as it cannot be distinguished and people can believe it, someone will come over. Now it is just a young thief who instigates this matter. If there is really silver and people who are seen, they may not be able to participate. If this wealthy family is rich and powerful, would you think it is difficult to deal with it?"

Xu Ping sighed and stopped talking.

After hearing Li Wei's news that day, Xu Ping didn't care about it. Dozens of big men in his village were still afraid of a group of thieves? It was just that the matter involved the stolen sheep from Xiuxiu's family, so he paid more attention.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, a foreign merchant was robbed and killed. However, there was no miser in this case, and only clothes were left, and no corpse was found, and they were crushed down.

After this incident, Xu Ping began to worry about this group of people, who are really good at killing people!

After organizing his shopkeepers to train, Xu Ping asked around for information, and the situation became worse and worse. It is said that this group of people had really ordered silver, which has touched many people. The soldiers of the group shepherd's department were originally loosely managed, and it is said that many people were involved. What's more, the Xu family's old enemies also took action.

The deposed Ma Jian is between the Jinshui River and the Huimin River. Opposite the Huimin River is Weishi County. It is so hard to die that it is the hometown of Ma Shiguan, Ma Jiliang, who forced the Xu family out of the capital.

His family was originally a tea merchant, with a big family and a big business. Later, he married the daughter of Liu Mei, the brother of Empress Dowager Liu, and climbed the big tree of Empress Dowager Liu, and his family business started to bloom like a blow.

This family cannot be provoked. Liu Mei's original name is Gong Mei, and she was originally the ex-husband of Empress Dowager Liu. After Empress Dowager Liu entered the palace and became prosperous, she recognized him as her elder brother and was favored. At this time, Liu Mei had passed away, and the empress dowager's thoughts were on Liu Mei's son and daughter.

By giving an example, we can see how popular Ma Jiliang is at this time.

The reason why Ma Jiliang is called the Ma History Museum is because he was in charge of the History Museum at this time. The library position is a noble and noble job, and they are all very talented and have a great future. The Empress Dowager ordered Ma Jiliang to take the exam, which required an exam, but Ma Jiliang was not good at learning and could not write a word on the exam paper for a long time. The Empress Dowager ordered the eunuch to deliver food and let the examiner finish the exam early. The examiner was impatient and had to help him finish the paper.

The examiner is said to be Yan Shu, a child prodigy who had read many of his lyrics in his previous life.

Yan Shu was already in a high position at this time, and he still had to flatter this family in this way. Who is the elder of their Xu family?

The people in the Ma family love money as much as their lives. When they heard about the good things that copper turns into silver, they looked for ways everywhere and wanted to invite this group of people to their homes and order a mountain of gold and silver.

A group of rural thieves Xu Ping didn't care. A family of relatives who were favored and his opponent was Xu Ping, so he had to be careful.

The reason why Sang Yi proposed that the wealthy family was like this was probably because he thought of this family.

After a moment of silence, Xu Ping said: "From the scholar, what should we do?"

Sang Yi said: "The most urgent task is to get the medicine silver inspired by this group of people to see if they can be used as real silver. As long as their magic is defeated, the matter will be defeated and everything is easy to say. If they can in turn create real silver, it will get bigger and bigger, unless there is a high-ranking official in the court, we will have no way to do it."

Xu Ping nodded: "The scholars made sense. Their medicine must be fake. As long as it is in my hands, there will be a way to distinguish it so that they will not be able to do anything!"

Sang Yi smiled and said, "The little owner is full of confidence! As long as you really have this ability, this group of thieves will not be difficult to get rid of. But this matter should be quicker, and the more you delay, the more trouble it will be."

The two of them talked for a while and then decided. Xu Ping brought people to guard their homeland. Sang Yi went to find a way to get the magic silver that was inspired. He had more thieves and had experience in this matter.
