The He family is a small yard. There are three large tiled houses at the entrance, with one ear room on the left and two wing rooms on the east and west, and a small backyard at the back, with a stove, a firewood house, thatched cottage, carport, etc.

In addition to He Zhihui and his younger couple, there is only one mother and daughter in the family. The mother serves as a calligrapher, and the daughter serves He Chen.

He Zhihui's parents are still in their hometown of Longlukou. The reason is self-evident. This house is a dowry from a lady Chen family!

Now the two are drinking in the west wing where He Zhihui is the study, and He Chen and the woman have avoided each other.

But the He family's yard is small, and Zhao Liang and He Zhihui are not afraid of people's eyes and ears.

He Chen, who was looking through the few pieces of satin sent by Zhao Liang in the western room, heard: "What kind of thing do you really want to do with Guangming (Zhao Liang's name)?"

"If it really does work, it must work!" Zhao Liang said.

"The Zhao family is not afraid of being a big business, so why are I a small family afraid of it? Since that's the case, Brother Yu dares not do his best!"

He Zhihui immediately said a few more names. He Chen was so excited that he was so excited that the Zhao family was going to do. What big thing is this? In addition, he didn't know the names He Zhihui said, and he couldn't help but feel up and down.

It’s not that she suspects that Zhao Liang and He Zhihui want to rebel and do big things, and that the general people don’t have that big idea. But it’s very common to suspect that they want to do illegal things or take big risks.

At this moment, the satin in front of her was no longer fragrant. When Zhao Liang left, she grabbed He Zhihui who was sending her back and asked: "What kind of big thing does the Zhao family want to do? Just ask the Zhao family to do it yourself, why should my husband participate?"

In the current He family, He Chen is holding He Zhihui with his dowry, and he also wants to ask people to go to Longlukou to respect the two elders from time to time. Because can't we be filial to the two elders?

The family is not very wealthy, but at least it is generous.

He Zhihui has a gentle personality and has a good relationship with He Chen and his wife. He Chen gave birth to a daughter, but he is not straight. Although he is the one who "earned money" (dowed) to support his family, he always is a young man in front of He Zhihui.

Even though he was very anxious at this moment, he held He Zhihui everywhere and did not make decisions for him.

Seeing that his wife was so anxious, He Zhihui smiled and knew that He Chen had just heard one or two ears, and did not know the details of the matter. He said immediately: "Don't be anxious, please listen to your husband and say it slowly."

The big thing Zhao Liang wants to do to He Zhihui is actually not uncommon, and he has clearly written it in history books.

The Jiangnan gentry in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was the most outstanding representative of them!

When businessmen collude with scholars, money and power act, the ultimate power is extremely huge.

The specific process is that Zhao Liang asked He Zhihui to come forward, openly and secretly find some people who are talented and willing to work hard but have poor families. The Zhao family contributed money and effort to let them go to school with peace of mind, go to the science exam with peace of mind, and then repay the Zhao family after they passed the exam.

Not to mention a high school Jinshi, even if you pass a scholar, you can make Zhao Jiazhuang a point of popularity.

The whole process is divided into two groups, Zhao Liang's grandfather, Old Scholar, is one, and He Zhihui, who is in his prime, is the second.

The former is based on teenagers, while the latter is based on adults.

"In fact, I fell in love with Lord Taishan, that's the same thing." They are investing in the future. He Zhihui said: "The only difference is that Lord Taishan only chose me, but the Zhao family chose countless ones."

He Chen's anxious expression had completely disappeared. So that's what happened. Not to mention, there is no difference between the Chen family and the Zhao family.

"So, in this city, the Zhao family wants the husband to stand out?" He Chen's education level is not high, but as a scholar, she has no water in her head, so how can she not know the benefits contained in it?

If the plan goes well, wouldn’t her man be the most popular among scholars in Chenzhou, or even the leader among scholars?

"My wife is not a stupid person. You should know the benefits contained in it, and it is hard for your husband to give up." As he spoke, He Zhihui reached his right hand to his waist and rubbed a small cloth bag hanging on his waist. The piece-shaped hard object inside made him feel surging.

The couple were speechless for a while, and were both imagining a bright future. Everything should be as they thought. After waiting for three, five, seven or eight years, the He family's scenery will be far better than the Chen family.

He Chen suddenly came back to his senses from his reverie and pushed He Zhihui: "Don't think about good things. The Zhao family wants both small and big things. The annual cost is more than a thousand taels of silver. Is his family able to support it?"

Studying is quite expensive.

It’s okay for the teacher to give me some advice. The daily pen, ink, paper and inkstone cost, and books are the most important. Not to mention anything else, Chenzhou Prefecture has a batch of collections of essays that the bookstore needs to release before the examination. The printing is quite rough and the paper is also very average, but the price is not cheap, and the unit price is two taels of silver.

Shiwen is a model essay, and the so-called Shiwen collection is a collection of articles from scholars selected from the last Chenzhou Prefectural Examinations.

During the Qianlong Dynasty, a eight-part essay, seven hundred words were written in "Shiwen Collection" and twenty or thirty articles were collected, and some comments were added. The seemingly thick book was actually about 20,000 to 30,000 words.

In later generations, even the standard chapters of ten chapters of 3k chapters are not enough, and it is not enough for some quick gunmen to explode at once.

And what does two taels of silver mean?

The waiter in the Zhao family Songhe Tower can only pay one tael of silver a month.

That is the one-month need for the Chenzhou Prefecture family of five, and it is still a good ‘need’ for people to live!

It’s still poor, rich and powerful! Scholars are really not cheap. The daily study and study cost money to take the exam, the provincial examination, the provincial examination, the provincial examination, the social examination, and the social examination. It can really squeeze out a small landlord’s home.

He Zhihui can only say that he is lucky. His home is at the intersection of Longlu, very close to the city. Whether it is the county, government or hospital examination, it cannot cost too much money.

But wait until he takes the provincial exam!

From Chenzhou to Kaifeng, it seems that there is not much distance, at most 300 miles, which is much closer than Nanyang, Xinyang and others. However, even if you save money in Kaifeng, you will always need ten taels of silver. It is a little more generous, and it is hard to afford to spend even if you don’t have twenty taels of silver.

And this is just going to Kaifeng, what if I go to Beijing in the future?

Although He Chen's dowry is quite good, if there is no other profit, He Zhihui will go to Beijing to take the exam once and can empty his entire family.

When He Chen heard He Zhihui's tone, the Zhao family had a lot of plans, and it was definitely not one or two people who were preparing to invest. After coming to his senses, he couldn't help but have a question: Is the Zhao family supported it?

"Does my wife know how much money the Zhao family will give to the one in the mansion in a year?"

He Chen shook his head, how could she know about this?

"At least you need this number!"

He Zhihui stretched out one hand and opened his three fingers. It was really a big number. When he heard it, his heart trembled.

"Three hundred taels?" He Chen looked at the disdain on her husband's face, opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and said in a sharp voice: "Three thousand..."

You're crazy. How much money does the Zhao family have to earn in a year? This number is completely beyond her imagination.

"At least it's this number!"

Who would have thought that the Zhao family only opened a few restaurants and restaurants, and the profit was so huge?

He Zhihui sighed in his heart that the Zhao family was born at the wrong time. This was the time of Zhu Ming. As long as the Zhao family could manage it with care and not rush to achieve success, they would probably become a famous gentry family in eastern Henan in twenty or thirty years.

But in the Qing Dynasty, let alone the Emperor Yongzheng officials and gentry were working together to pay food, even before, the gentry class was also suppressed by the Qing Dynasty's sword and could not raise its head.
