Chapter 244: Net-casting Tactics
This person is simply the last one in the class, especially his handwriting, which looks like it has never been practiced.
It was thanks to his policy that he was able to raise his position to a level where he could succeed.
[The top scorers in the provincial examinations are definitely being targeted by many people, and the price they offer to win them over is definitely very high.]
[This poor little thing that no one cares about is the treasure to be found. ]
Bei Jingchu's eyes lit up.
Haoyue: I learned something new again~
She was still sighing when she was assigned a task: "You and Bei Qin should each go and capture the people on the list."
"Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who are willing to take the bait will be caught."
"It is purely voluntary, not coercive."
Haoyue was full of confidence, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Once your name is known, it will surely be successful."
Bei Jingchu hesitated to speak, [You should not be so confident. ]
Haoyue felt that His Highness’s idea was too pessimistic. His Highness was the Princess of Tianzhen!
How is it possible that we can’t recruit people?
......
Qin Yuping was the top scorer in Pingzhou's imperial examination. When he came to Beijing for the imperial examination, naturally there were many people who wanted to recruit him.
Some even wanted to make a marriage contract with him and give their daughter to him in marriage.
But those who came were not important people.
Although it was enough for him, it was nothing in the context of the entire Vietnam.
Qin Yuping did not refuse, but did not agree either.
He knew that once he was tied to someone, he would be working for them for the rest of his life.
But there is no future if we fight alone.
Unless someone of high rank recommends you, you can only spend your whole life in the lowest-ranking official position.
At first, he was somewhat complacent, waiting for a powerful person to come to him.
But after waiting for a long time, the highest-ranking person among the people who came was an official of the fifth rank.
Qin Yuping planned to give up.
Just join that man, he is just a jerk.
There are so many top scorers every year, so how come he was discovered by powerful people?
Just when he was about to reply, he received an invitation letter asking him to come to Yulou for a talk.
Yulou is the Tan family's restaurant, and only the Tan family's most distinguished guests can enter.
But in reality, it is a place for dignitaries to relax.
None of the people who had invited him before were qualified to enter Yulou.
Qin Yuping held the invitation, unable to conceal his excitement.
Good luck is coming towards him!
He took out his most respectable clothes, washed and dressed, and waited for the time to keep the appointment.
The people at Yulou first stopped him, and after seeing the invitation, they did not take him to the private room upstairs, but instead took him to the backyard and led him into a private room.
He became even more nervous.
Is the person I met this time of such a high status?
After entering the compartment, I didn't see the man's true face.
A gauze screen spans the front.
Qin Yuping also enjoyed a good life before the Qin family fell into poverty.
It can be seen that the decoration in this house is low-key but full of luxury.
The gauze screens in front of me are all top-grade Suzhou embroidery, each inch of which is worth a fortune.
His attitude became more respectful.
The waiter who led the way left, and they were the only two people left in the room. The curling incense made his tense nerves relax a little.
The person opposite finally spoke: "Mr. Qin."
It was a girl's voice.
Qin Yuping was surprised, because he had asked his wife to come and see him before.
I just want to see him as my son-in-law.
This time it won't be the same...
But considering the family's status, he felt that selling himself was nothing.
Haoyue didn't know what the person opposite her was thinking. She could only read the princess' mind, otherwise she would have rushed up and given him a fierce fight.
"Mr. Qin is the top scholar in the provincial examination. His talent is beyond words."
"But the imperial examination is held every three years. How many champions will a prefecture like Dai Viet produce each time?"
"Don't make the mistake of being arrogant."
"Only if you follow the right people and take the right path can your talents be put to good use."
This sentence hit the point, and Qin Yuping had to lower his proud head.
Haoyue learned this method of persuading others from the princess.
I heard it’s called something like “Pi-Yao”?
It means first suppressing the other party, making him/her lose confidence, and then giving him/her small favors, so as to win their hearts and minds with the lowest cost.
The princess seemed to have said it was a dirty trick at that time?
Never mind, as long as it works.
After destroying his confidence, Haoyue announced Bei Jingchu's name: "Princess Tianzhen has a keen eye and sees your potential."
"My dear, you should know that there are many good horses, but there is only one Bole."
"If you don't hold on tight, there will be many people who want to follow Your Highness."
Water was shaken out of the teacup in Qin Yuping's hand.
Princess Tianzhen...
She was the evil woman who, according to the legend, massacred loyal and honest people and enriched herself.
A devil with a cruel heart at a young age.
Qin Yuping never thought that the princess would want to pull him down.
At this time, Haoyue did not say anything, giving people time to think.
At first, when Qin Yuping heard the rumor, he analyzed another piece of information.
Her bad reputation meant that she had affected the interests of the civil officials.
Therefore, the princess's faction was the enemy of the noble officials.
Being able to massacre ministers means that she holds great power and is favored by the emperor.
And now she is pulling the trigger, which means she wants to cultivate her own direct lineage personally.
It's a bit exciting to play, getting involved in a royal struggle, either you become rich and powerful, or you die.
Qin Yuping thought for a long time and decided to do it!
In one's life, there is no such thing as free wealth, and there is no wealth without the slightest risk.
If you really decide to live a mediocre life, you don't even need to take the imperial examination. You can just go home and farm.
He was even extremely excited that he actually happened upon such a good thing.
What a great fortune this is!
He pretended to be calm and raised his glass to the back of the screen: "There is no wine today, so I will use tea instead of wine to toast you."
"I am willing to follow your Highness' lead."
Through the screen, I could only see my shadow; the bright moon on the opposite side was unfathomable, and it was actually rubbing its hands under the table.
Wuhu~Finally someone is on the right track.
She pushed out a small wooden box and said, "My dear, this is a meeting gift from His Highness."
Qin Yuping took the wooden box. It was as long as his forearm and so heavy that he almost couldn't lift it.
He held the box and walked out with anticipation for the future.
He knew that gold would shine.
With his talent, he will surely meet someone of noble character who will appreciate his talent.
I just don't know how the princess chose him among so many students.
What is it about him that makes him so different from others?
Is it this handsome face?
At this time, a fellow villager was brought over and greeted him: "Brother Qin, are you also invited here?"
Qin Yuping: ...So, Princess Tianzhen doesn't value him, but is casting a wide net to catch fish.
He returned to the small thatched cottage he rented in a depressed mood.
Qin Yuping opened the wooden box, and the bright golden light inside blinded his eyes.
The elegant and graceful young man exclaimed in shock: "Fuck."
No matter how fancy the words are, they cannot express his mood as well as this one word.
The feeling of being unappreciated immediately dissipated.
It’s good to cast a net. It’s good to cast a net.
If Your Highness hadn't cast the net, how could he have been pulled ashore?
