Chapter 1784 Sent
It is acceptable to conduct an inspection every three to five years and to strengthen and further optimize the work each time.
The letter also mentioned that Shao Liulang passed the imperial examination. Although he was third from the bottom, it was still very impressive.
Qiao Xuan smiled when she saw the letter: "Tsk, Shao Liulang actually passed the exam. I don't know how proud the Third House is now! I'm afraid Third Aunt will be so proud!"
Shao Yunduan also smiled: "The third room is naturally proud, but fortunately we have mother at home, so no matter how proud the third room is, nothing can happen."
Qiao Xuan deeply agreed with this. If Fang hadn't been in the family, Uncle Shao, a fool like him, would probably be so excited that he would want to give most of his property to the third house to celebrate.
The two talked about this for a while, and after hearing Shao Yunduan say that Shao Liulang had basically no chance of passing the imperial examination, Qiao Xuan lost interest in listening to it.
It would be fine as long as Shao Liulang could not pass the imperial examination and become an official. Otherwise, she was really afraid that Shao Yunduan would be implicated by him.
Shao Yunduan didn't find it strange. He had asked for a lot of review materials from him. Plus, his foundation wasn't that bad to begin with. As long as he studied hard for a while, he would have no problem passing the exam.
But it is not easy to go further.
You should know that there are only two to three hundred Jinshi admitted in each spring examination. In the whole Qin Dynasty, there are not only new Jinshi from all over the country who take part in the spring examination every year, but also countless Jinshi from previous years with more experience. The competition is extremely fierce.
He was well aware of Shao Liulang's abilities.
In such fierce and cruel competition, he had no hope at all.
As usual, when Le Zhengxiao sent someone to deliver the letter, he also sent a lot of fruits.
From mid-June onwards, it is the time for all kinds of fruits to mature and be harvested. Le Zhengxiao has sent people to deliver them twice, and this is the third time.
As usual, five large baskets were filled with dragon fruit, lychees, longans, mangoes, papayas, jackfruits, peaches, etc.
We picked the fruits in the early morning, took them off the trees and loaded them into the car. We arrived in Anze Prefecture two and a half days later and they were still very fresh.
The half-person-high basket was filled to the brim. How could Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan eat so much?
Two baskets were sent to Zheng Sangge and his team, so that they and the people sent by Meng Wanfu could also taste them. You know, such southern tropical fruits are absolutely not available in the north.
Although it is not much, each person can taste a few lychees and longans and a mango, which is enough to make people very happy.
There were three baskets left. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan kept one basket, distributed another basket to the servants at home, filled two more baskets and sent them to the yamen for Jia Heming and others to taste, and gave some to Madam Guan.
Living in a back yamen, it would be unreasonable not to send her off.
It's not rare for them anyway.
By the way, her space has a more complete range of food, but she can only eat them secretly.
Whenever these covers were sent to her, she would take the opportunity to take some out.
Although the size of the orchard has expanded, overall the output is still too small. On average, each type of fruit tree only has a few hundred acres.
The fruits produced are not enough to be sold locally, let alone exported.
After all, fresh fruits are not suitable for long-distance transportation. The roads are difficult and bumpy, the weather is hot, and there is no good preservation technology, which will definitely cause considerable losses.
If the products can be sold out on the spot, there will naturally be no such consideration.
See you tomorrow
