Hearing the words "great minds think alike", Xianjin seemed to sneer.
Bai Dalang immediately seized the opportunity and tried to use it as an excuse: This bitch is good-looking but extremely annoying. It's ok that she usually looks down on him, but now she actually dares to ridicule him in front of their family's backers!
When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner!
Bai Dalang opened his mouth and wanted to shout.
Unexpectedly, Xianjin covered his mouth and nose with his backhand and sneezed viciously. Then he rubbed his nose calmly and said as a matter of course, "...I have been working hard for several nights to develop special examination papers. I was blown by the cold wind last night..." Xianjin smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, I will just listen to Bai Dalang's bragging. Oh no, just listen to Bai Dalang's introduction."
introduce?
There's not much to introduce.
Isn’t it just that the right side changed to the top?
Xianjin had already said it very specifically just now, and Bai Dalang repeated it again haltingly. The three officials at the top seemed bored. Wen Fucheng and Wang Xuezhen looked at each other. Wang Xuezhen walked down with his hands behind his back, took a short-bristle brush dipped in ink, and wrote the word "Wang" on two pieces of paper in turn.
The two pieces of paper absorbed the ink very quickly. Almost at the same time, the mist of ink had completely disappeared from the surface of the paper.
Wang Xuezheng used his fingertips to wipe it again.
Rub "Cheng Heng" with the fingertips of your left hand and rub Bai Ji with the fingertips of your right hand.
There was a very light layer of light gray ink mark left on the fingertips of his right hand.
Wang Xuezhen did not make any judgment, but stretched out his two hands for everyone to refer to.
Bai Dalang blushed and turned to look at his father: The ratio of the rice straw and the bark of the Chinese cedar tree provided by the other party is 82%! The paper gave up hardness and became soft and tough, gave up the feel, and only pursued water absorption... The paper was made according to the 82% ratio provided by the other party!
Master Bai smiled knowingly, "Write the test paper from right to left, don't go back, it's not a big deal if it absorbs water a little later." Master Bai lowered his eyes, "Every inch has its own merits. Our paper is harder, so it will absorb water more slowly, but it is tougher, so the chances of paper being damaged or torn in the exam room will be relatively reduced."
Just copy it, why change the answer!
but...
Xianjin rubbed his chin, but this changed answer seemed to make some sense.
Remember first.
Xian Jin raised his head and waited for Wang Xuezheng's judgment.
Wang Xuezheng's goatee curled slightly, and he smiled and waved his hand, "In terms of quality, the papers from both companies have their own merits, and it's hard to tell which is better. Please take out the sealed brown paper bags, bosses."
Xianjin took out a brown paper bag containing the quotation.
Wang Xuezhen asked for it to be written in advance, sealed with sealing wax, and brought to the scene.
Wang Xuezheng made a "please" gesture, "Compare prices, the products are similar in quality, the one with the lowest price will win. The two chancellors are here, and we won't tolerate anyone cheating. All purchases by the Wei Dynasty government must be made with real money, and we don't accept charity. Let me be frank, if the two bosses want to take shortcuts and write down prices like 'one copper coin' or 'ten taels of silver', then I'm sorry, and you will be disqualified immediately."
For the government, business worth a few hundred taels is almost the same no matter who does it.
Xianjin believes that once this news gets out, there will be no shortage of merchants willing to do this business for free or even at a loss.
Even if the merchants gave it for free, the imperial court would not necessarily be willing to take it for free, provided there was money in the treasury. Firstly, it would lose face, secondly, it would disrupt the atmosphere, and thirdly, it would break the rules. Since Emperor Xuanwen, the people in power in the Wei Dynasty had some integrity.
Therefore, at the beginning, Heng Wuniang suggested: "Otherwise, we can just write one or two copper coins on the price comparison list... We won't charge any money, so Baiji can't go lower than us!"
Xianjin just shook his head.
Nowadays, real money is not a big deal, but face and dignity are a big deal. If Wang Xuezhen really wanted to eat waiter food, he didn't need to agree to her request to "compare prices" at all!
As expected, Wang Xuezhen’s reminder proved that malicious bidding is a dead end.
Xianjin regained his composure, picked up the paper cutter, and with steady hands, cut the paper bag open. He took out the quotation sheet and placed it on the table with his backhand.
Bai Dalang tried to read the clues from Xianjin's face, and after watching carefully for a while: Well, this damn girl is as calm as if she is wearing a mask, and except when she laughs at him, she has almost no emotional changes...
Mr. Bai also took it out and put it on the table with his backhand.
The three officials at the top all came down, and after some courtesy, they decided to have Wen Fucheng, who had no relationship with anyone, to untie the knot.
Wen Fucheng picked up the Bai family's offer first. His square face looked very upright. "There are even decimal places and even whole places!"
Mr. Bai bowed his head respectfully, "...the amount was calculated by the accountant, the common people, and my son.
Wen Fucheng nodded and read out loud, "Two hundred and seventy-seven taels and four cents of silver!"
Heng Wuniang's eyes gradually darkened.
really...
As expected, it was leaked by an insider.
Compared with their offer, it was twenty-four cents less.
not much.
Only twenty-four cents were missing.
Who leaked the secret?
There was no one around her, so it was definitely not Hengji's fault.
Then, it must be the people around Xianjin.
Is it the carefree Zhou Ergou? If you look closely at the "Dog Lord" mentioned by Xianjin, you can see that his left foot is slightly inconvenient. It is said that he made sacrifices to survive the bandits... Is it Zhang Mama who always said that she disliked her skinny and small size? In order to replenish the vitality of Xianjin who was still in mourning, Zhang Mama made flowers out of eggs and milk... Or is it the skinny old man Li who likes to squat at the door and smoke dry tobacco? He doesn't talk much, but his eyes are bright when talking about making paper...
