Chapter 267 Stupid!
"I just saw clearly that those who left were all idiots who couldn't even write their names. They deserved to leave, but all of us answered the questions seriously. Even though we are not the best in knowledge, we shouldn't be left without a single one, right?"
Qiu Xiangyuan said, holding the list, "I think you made a mistake."
"Those who just left are the ones who have a chance to stay."
"Nowadays, the people in the Three Passes are living in a difficult situation, and many people need help. Although the questions on this test paper are not very difficult, they also require a certain level of knowledge."
"You answered very well, which is enough to prove that you can find better jobs with your knowledge, but they can't."
"They can't even write their own names, so they can only do hard work. Serving His Majesty is a good job for them."
"Don't argue with them."
Zhang San didn't expect that this test paper was not used to select servants, but to eliminate servants.
It's simply incomprehensible!
Zhang San was so angry that his face was gloomy and he couldn't help wanting to curse.
Everyone said that Qiu Xiangyuan was a big mouth and told everything.
Now it seems that although Qiu Xiangyuan has a big mouth and likes to spread news everywhere, he is not a brainless person.
It is obvious that he wants to keep people without talent, but he pretends to be looking for talented people and forces talented people to answer seriously.
Zhang San knew that this time the matter was messed up. He hung his face and left with his daughter.
The old lady who secretly copied Zhang San's test paper just now regretted it very much.
"If I had known that His Majesty wanted illiterate people, I would not have copied that person's test paper."
She thought, walked to Qiu Xiangyuan's side and pleaded.
"Sir, I think there is a misunderstanding."
"I can't actually read. I copied the test paper just now."
Qiu Xiangyuan glanced at the old lady, and while sorting out the papers, he said, "Character is also part of the assessment. Our emperor doesn't like to cheat."
One by one, they really thought that he, Qiu Xiangyuan, was a fool!
His Majesty has been recruiting conspirators. They have real talents and knowledge, but they are unwilling to be conspirators. Instead, they come to be servants.
There is something fishy about this!
Unless it is someone with ulterior motives, or a masochist, who would leave a good conspirator and become a servant?
He thought to himself, packed up the papers, and left humming a song.
He now has a lot of things to say and can't wait to tell others.
After Zhang San and his daughter left, before they had gone far, they heard Qiu Xiangyuan's big mouth laughing at the top of his voice: "Haha, those people with ulterior motives are too stupid. They believed what I said casually. They really thought that our emperor wanted to recruit educated servants?"
"They don't think about it. Your Majesty has just succeeded. How many people are watching behind the scenes? How could your majesty not be careful!"
Zhang San's daughter immediately let go of Zhang San's hand and said with disgust.
"You are really useless. You can't do such a small thing well."
It was obvious that neither of them had seen through Qiu Xiangyuan's plan in time, but Zhang San was blamed at this time. Zhang San
was suddenly scolded, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he whispered to please.
"Yes, yes, miss, what should we do now?"
The girl said with a sour face, "What else can we do? Let's go home first."
Zhang San followed the girl and returned to a thatched house.
After returning to the thatched house, the girl stood respectfully in front of the two men.
"Dad, grandfather, I'm back."
One of them was about thirty or forty years old. Although he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, his body was white and tender, and there was no silk on his hands. It was obvious that he had never suffered any hardship.
He looked out of place in the thatched house and didn't look like someone who would live here.
The other one had gray hair and was older. He looked to be in his sixties, hunched over, and very old.
A pair of old eyes looked at the girl with a cloudy look.
The old man spoke slowly, with the choking sound that is unique to the elderly: "How did it go?"
The girl lowered her head and bit her lip and said,
"To answer grandfather, Gan Fanren was very cunning. He said that he wanted my granddaughter to answer a question and that she could stay if she answered it correctly. So my granddaughter answered it seriously.
" "I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect what..."
"I didn't expect that Gan Fanren was very mean. After my granddaughter answered, he said that people like my granddaughter who are talented have more opportunities, and the opportunities should be left to those who have not studied."
After hearing this, the old man picked up the water cup beside him without hesitation and threw it at the girl.
His expression was gloomy, as if he wanted to eat the girl: "You idiot..."
"You have also seen the world, think carefully, how many of your maids can read?"
Except for the big maid who served him personally, the other maids could not read a single word.
Why?
First, because those maids' families were poor and had no money to study.
Second,
reading makes people wise. If they read books and have thoughts, they are difficult to control.
Who would want to keep servants with small thoughts?
The girl lowered her head, obviously knowing that she was wrong.
"I know I was wrong, it's my grandson who is useless."
But the old man was too lazy to look at the girl. He drooped his eyelids and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, let's go."
The girl left the house and returned to her room.
A smaller and more dilapidated thatched house.
She looked at the house with hatred in her eyes: "What's wrong with my parents not being able to stand Gan Fanren, a traitor and a villain?"
"My parents just wanted to restore order, but Gan Fanren seized our family property and killed my mother, causing me to end up like this..."
Originally, she was a lady from a big family, and was loved by everyone.
But now she can only stay in this small thatched house!
When she thought of Gan Fanren and his family living in her original home, she wanted to rush in with anger and kill Gan Fanren's family.
What is the Majesty who saved the world? He
is obviously a villain!
I really don't know why those people love him so much.
She must find a way to get in.
She thought about it, secretly thinking about how to get into the Gan family.
After several rounds of screening, the Gan family finally left more than 20 servants.
For a noble family, these servants are not many at all, but for the Gan family, these 20 servants are already a lot.
Everyone is assigned one or two servants.
Even Li Zhi's mother Dong Cuilian has a maid to take care of her.
Dong Cuilian smiled so much that she couldn't stop and said to Li Zhi, "Son, you should follow our emperor well."
"Look how good the emperor is to us. If it weren't for him, we would still be fleeing from famine with no
food to eat. How could we have such a good life?" She never dreamed that she would have servants to serve her after working in the fields all her life.
Li Zhi nodded seriously, "Don't worry, mother. I will listen to my elder brother."
He clenched his fists, his eyes full of admiration for Gan Fanren.
His elder brother was the most powerful and kindest person he had ever met.
Not only did he help so many refugees, he also helped Qingtaiguan solve the problem of heating.
He felt distressed when he thought of the money his elder brother had spent.
If it were him, he would never be so kind.
