Chapter 272: Ancient Imperial Examination 39



Zhang County does not have any special specialties.

If I have to say, the most special place is probably the big lake that you pass by on the way to the exam, Qinghong Lake.

According to legend, the lake flows into the boundless sea at the end.

But no one has ever gone to explore the direction of the rushing river, but the scenery there is really nice, and it is very fun to fish there in spring.

Now the place has been occupied by Chu Qi's fans, and there are also many tourists who are willing to spend money to get on the boat and experience the fun.

Chu Qi almost single-handedly boosted the economic circulation of this area...

·

Let’s not talk about the above for now.

But Li Yue came to the door holding a pot of green peppers.

At that time, Chu Qi was sitting in the yard.

There were at least five or six lounge chairs in the yard, and an octagonal table in the middle of the yard. A young man and two girls were sitting in front of the table, each holding a book and reading with their heads shaking.

Chu Qi was lying leisurely in the recliner, with a baby of six or seven months old sitting in his arms. The baby's short and fat little hands were grabbing the air randomly, looking up at Chu Qi, and the little mouth with crystal saliva dripping from it was making baby talk that adults could not understand.

Chu Qi picked her up, held her in front of her, and said softly with a smile:

"Little Ruoxue~Good baby~"

This was the scene Li Yue saw when he came in.

Because Chu Qi had never told him about her family situation, Li Yue thought it was Chu Qi's child.

Chu Qi saw the plump young man standing in front of the fence gate, and hurriedly stood up to greet him, saying with a smile:

"Boss, how come you have time to come to see me today? Please come in."

Li Yue made a little joke:

"If I don't take the initiative, what will happen if someone asks you to leave? I won't even have anywhere to cry."

"That can't be possible. What kind of relationship do you and I have? Why would I go to someone else's house?"

Chu Qi held the baby in one hand and opened the fence door for Li Yue.

The two of them came to the main room to discuss matters.

After everyone sat down, the very perceptive Ye Wenyin quickly brought two cups of hot water from the kitchen and took her little niece Ye Ruoxue away.

After Li Yue thanked him, he took a sip and said straight to the point:

"Brother Ye, you are now famous and you should have no shortage of customers. If you publish a new book, I won't say anything to you. In addition to paying you by the word count, I will give you a share of the profits for every chapter you sell. How about that?"

One percent is the dividend. If ten cents are sold, Chu Qi can get one cent. It seems not much at first glance, but when accumulated, it is definitely a considerable fortune.

Li Yue is a businessman and has to take many factors into consideration. Hiring people and pens, ink, paper and inkstone all cost money. Giving a share of the profits would not be considered unfair to Chu Qi.

"Don't you want to see how attractive the story is this time?"

Chu Qi asked with a smile.

Li Yue replied: "Don't I trust you? What you write will surely amaze everyone."

Although he said so, based on the basic principles of doing business, he still took the draft of the first ten chapters that Chu Qi handed to him and started reading it.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

I thought "The Vixen Jiang Nu" was the peak, and "Love Song of Jianghu" was the sequel.

I didn't expect the third part to be even more amazing.

"A mortal cultivating immortals..." Li Yue's pupils dilated. He was shocked by the world view and immortal cultivation settings that Chu Qi unfolded in just ten chapters.

"Brother Ye, your brain is truly a genius! Scholars praise you as the incarnation of Wenquxing, and I think it is absolutely true."

Li Yue couldn't put the first draft down and even tried to see the next plot in advance:

"Brother Ye, is it just this short? Is it really gone?"

Chu Qi said helplessly:

“I haven’t had time to write the next one yet.”

After all, constructing a world view and a plot line is really laborious.

She didn't have much experience in reading online novels in her previous life, but what she wrote now was a story tailored for the literary readers of the Gan Dynasty, combining the local customs and language habits of the Gan Dynasty.

And it must be ensured that the creation is permitted by the laws of the dynasty.

Li Yue felt a little regretful, but he had to give up.

The issue of dividends could not be taken lightly, so the two of them wrote out a contract on the spot, signed their names, pressed their fingerprints, and the contract was split into two, and the contract was completed.

After finalizing the contract, Li Yue counted the words and gave the royalties to Chu Qi.

Then he planned to leave.

The green peppers he brought were a special gift for Chu Qi.

Because Chu Qi loves spicy food, she planted a lot of red peppers, so Li Yue thought that red and green would make a pair.

Green bell peppers are also used as ornamental plants, but no one dares to try them.

Chu Qi was delighted to discover that this green pepper was an edible sweet pepper, and planted it next to the red pepper.

·

The new story received a better response than the previous two. Li Yue made a lot of money, and Chu Qi also made a lot of money while receiving dividends.

Dozens of silver ingots were earned almost every month.

Truly achieve financial freedom.

After achieving financial freedom, the Ye family started to eat meat every other day, and they also replaced millet with white rice.

Next, Chu Qi began to prepare for the scholar examination which would be held one year later.

Spring goes and winter comes, and the four seasons have passed again.

Winter of 668 of the Qian Dynasty.

The examination for the scholars will be held in Nan County, 500 miles away from Zhang County.

There are three more invigilators than last time.

Because the distance is too far, we have to set off two months in advance this time.

The journey to the exam is not always smooth, and climbing over mountains and crossing rivers is common. The earlier you go, the more guaranteed you will be to not be late.

If you have money, you don't have to ride in someone else's donkey cart.

Chu Qi bought a donkey cart and loaded his luggage into it. Although there were few bandits who robbed scholars, accidents were inevitable. At this time, traveling with companions was a good choice.
