Missy, She Always Doesn't Seek to Make Progress.

This charity auction hosted by the Ministry of Household Affairs was very successful. Cui Shixue's eyes turned into a smile when he saw the large sum of money. It actually exceeded two million taels and was close to three million. This was too much.

But he also knew very well that most of the donations, the most expensive ones were actually the saint's calligraphy treasures and the five places that allowed merchants to participate in the imperial examination. The most expensive one cost 500,000 taels.

It is conceivable that the richest people in Dafeng are merchants, and they are the ones who are least short of money. What they lack is an opportunity to change their status quo, and allowing the imperial examination is one of them.

It is said to be a charity auction, but in fact it is an opportunity bought with real money. If it is really criticized by the slanderous scholars, it is the same as selling an official position, but it has to take the exam for this quota.

But it doesn't stop someone from competing for this spot. After all, it's not that the merchants don't study, they also study, and they are not even worse than the children of the aristocratic family. Their appearance is also very outstanding, but they just don't have the opportunity to participate in the scientific examination.

Now that there is such an opportunity in front of us, we can get it with money. It would be strange if businessmen who have done good deeds, are famous and profitable, and are eager to make profits don't fight like crazy.

After all, once you really win the Jinshi, your family will change. That is a good thing that truly honors your ancestors. What does it mean to have a mere amount of money?

Of course, everything has two sides, and some people must think it is unfair, but the world is like this, how can there be anything truly fair? Now that the country is in crisis, if we talk about fairness, who will give fairness to the people affected by the disaster?

The most uncomfortable thing was the few students sitting in the hall who were brought in to see the world by chance. Some of them came from poor families and were already living in poverty. Now after seeing such an auction, I saw that some people did not care about the world. Money was money, and my heart felt as if a jar of old vinegar had been poured into it.

Especially those who used hundreds of thousands of taels to auction imperial examination places, which made them even more unfair.

The dignified merchants, who smelled like copper, actually had a chance to compete fairly with them just because they had a few stinky money.

How can they be willing to do this?

If you are not willing to give in, you will talk too much.

There were three students in the hut saying angrily that this kind of auction was meaningless. The imperial examination was supposed to select talents for the country, but now it was tainted with the smell of copper, and no trace of the scholar's character was left.

When Qin Liuxi heard these conversations, he couldn't help laughing angrily and walked out of the darkness.

The students opposite did not expect that someone would come from behind. When they heard the laughter, their expressions changed. Then they looked at the man and woman opposite. The man was more attractive than the woman. Although the woman was not dressed as a woman nowadays, she was just wearing a high tie. The bun is fastened with a wooden hairpin that looks like a ruler, and the robe looks like a Taoist robe, but you can tell that she is a woman, with a pure temperament.

"Do you have the character of a scholar like you, gossiping and talking nonsense here in the latrine?" Qin Liuxi looked at these people. She had seen them on the top floor just now. They all had their eyes higher than the top, and they were all pretentious. The kind of person who seeks fame and reputation.

Being ridiculed by these words, several young students all had dark faces and said, "Who are you? A gentleman who doesn't understand, don't see anything inappropriate and don't listen to anything inappropriate?"

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that since you say this auction is meaningless, why come here? You are here just to see the world and see if you have a chance to win the favor of a noble person so that you can take advantage of it and soar into the sky. Of?"

Those people were suddenly embarrassed and angry, their faces burning. This woman was so rude. Although what she said was true, it was really embarrassing to be ridiculed like this.

Just as they were about to say something to refute, Qin Liuxi spoke again.

"What kind of place is Jiuxuan? I'm afraid you don't know. How can such a big charity auction really be deserted and without ears? What you just said has probably fallen into the ears of many people. Congratulations to you. Yes, you have ruined your future with your own hands."

As soon as they said this, they suddenly panicked and looked around subconsciously. They didn't pay attention at first, but in some corners, it seemed that there were people standing there.

So were their complaints just now really listened to?

Thinking of this, their faces turned from black to white.

Qin Liuxi shook his head slightly, such a person was of no use.

She turned around, thought of something, then turned to look at them, and said: "There are indeed many unfair things in the world, but who said that the demeanor of businessmen must be worse than that of scholars. Many of their brains are better than those of you." Those who know how to read and don't know how to adapt are much better. They are born merchants and can be the pillars of the country and can govern the country. What they lack is just an opportunity. You say it's unfair, but did they get this opportunity for free? Even if it is If you bought it, it was also bought with real gold and silver. Whose silver was blown by the strong wind? When merchants do business, they have to strategize, control the business, and consider factors other than being an official. Since it is hard-earned money , what’s the injustice of using it on the edge of a knife?”

Qin Liuxi put his hands behind his back and said: "Put aside the so-called fairness and injustice, in this auction, whether it is the person who sent the auction items or the good person who auctioned the items, the price paid is much greater than the item itself. But all efforts are made for disaster relief and are for the people affected by this disaster. Do you think it is meaningless? Its original intention is to raise funds for disaster relief. This is its meaning. Your rebuttal is to ignore the victims, or is it Ignore the court?"

This hat is full of thorns, who among them would dare to wear it?

Several people argued hurriedly: "Don't spray blood on others, that's not what we meant."

"But didn't you just say that this kind of auction is meaningless?"

"I……"

Qin Liuxi said lightly: "Scholars should cultivate their minds before reading, otherwise it will be in vain to read the books of sages!"

She dropped this sentence and said nothing more.

Feng Tong: "They are just a few rotten people who have become stupid because of their studies. What nonsense can you talk to them?"

Qin Liuxi: "Lest some people pretend to be arrogant and can't see what they are, but they still carry it."

Several students: "..."

The other party successfully aroused the scholar's desire to fight.

But there seemed to be many figures in the darkness. They didn't want to stay here at all. They covered their faces with their sleeves and hurried away.

Seeing that it was quiet here, two people came out of the darkness. Who were they if they weren't Cui Shixue and Hube Shangshu?

Qian Shangshu stroked his beard and said, "This Master of the Guanqiu Temple has a bit of a temper."

Cui Shixue stood a step behind him and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you have the ability but have a temper. The worst thing is that you have a bad temper if you don't have the ability!"

Qian Shangshu glanced at him and said, "From what Chang Xiao said, I highly recommend this person."

Cui Shixue's answer was flawless, saying: "A man with great ability will naturally be praised by everyone."

Qian Shangshu snorted and said, "Go and have someone check who those students are."

You actually said that the auction organized by their Ministry of Household Affairs was meaningless? Isn’t it that these millions of donations are meaningful? Isn’t it meaningful if the few hairs on their mouths can’t even be blown away?

At this time, Qin Liuxi stood in front of a man wearing gold-woven satin. The man respectfully handed over a letter of recommendation and said excitedly: "I don't ask for a real person. I have been recommended by Master Du Mian and Du Tuo. If you have something to do, Ask for each other." (End of this chapter)
