Chapter 1426: Feeling at Home, Feeling Like a Spring Breeze

Putting aside the Hu family's affairs, Jiang Hao pondered another question. In this world, what level of cultivation has he reached?

Jiang Hao's cultivation method is mainly "Wuji Shuangxiu Dalefu". It only says that if you have three thousand women, you can ascend to heaven in broad daylight, but it does not divide the various stages and levels in detail.

The dual cultivation method is good, and the speed of cultivation is much faster than other methods, but there is a problem. It is completely self-contained and cannot be compared with other cultivation methods in terms of realm division.

This world is a world where immortals, monsters and practitioners coexist. If there is a chance, I have to find a set of exercises to compare with the dual cultivation method, so as to really understand my own situation.

Re-enter the Taoist sect?

In this world, Maoshan, Kunlun Mountain and Laoshan seem to exist.

Let's talk about this later. I have to get an identity first, at least a scholar, and a juren is better, so that I can walk outside. Otherwise, there will be many inconveniences, so what I have to consider now is how to pass the imperial examination.

In fact, it is not easy to pass the examination of a scholar. You have to pass the county examination, the prefectural examination, and the academy examination. The three examinations have a fixed calendar. The county examination is held every year in the second month of the lunar calendar. Those who have passed the county examination go to the prefectural city in April to take the prefectural examination, which is also held every year. After passing the prefectural examination, you can take the academy examination.

The academy examination is held in the provincial capital Gongyuan. Because the provincial examination is held every three years, the academy examination is held twice every three years, and the last time is given to the provincial examination. The time is generally in the sixth month of the lunar calendar.

Only after passing the academy examination can you become a real scholar. Jiang Hao has read the saying on the Internet before that passing the examination of a scholar is equivalent to passing the college entrance examination. He thinks it is not appropriate. Passing the examination of a scholar is much more difficult than passing the college entrance examination, even for a famous university.

If calculated by the proportion of people, the proportion of people who pass the examination of a scholar every year is smaller than the proportion of doctoral students admitted every year in modern times.

Jiang Hao is now considering how to pass the county examination first. In the past few days, he has read through those sets of the Four Books and Five Classics. They are exactly the same as what he has read before. It seems that the articles of the saints have not changed in any world in ancient China.

With his talent, it would be no problem for him to pass the imperial examination, not to mention a scholar. However, with corrupt officials blocking the way, no matter how talented he is, it is useless.

Jiang Hao disdains to spend money to buy a quota.

However, these,

hehe,

can't stop Jiang Hao. He glanced at Zhu Guang who was practicing under the shade of the tree, and a vicious plan formed in his mind.

The next day,

Jiang Hao got up and washed, first practiced the Vajra Indestructible Magic Skill to stretch his muscles, then called Zhu Guang, asked him to get into the bamboo tube, put it into his sleeves, and run towards the county town with Qinggong.

A blue figure stretched through the mountains and hills, like a roc soaring. It took only a cup of tea to arrive outside the county town, slowed down, shook his robes, and walked leisurely towards the county town with a square step.

The last time Jiang Hao came to the county town, he had already learned the situation of the county town thoroughly, and he knew which street the shops were located on by heart.

Although it was morning, the county town was already bustling with all kinds of shops opening their doors and hawking in the streets. Looking around, only the brothels were closed. After all, they were doing business at night and the day would not start until noon.

One of Jiang Hao's major tasks today was to purchase. Now that he had money in his hands, he naturally had to fill the golden space with supplies.

Walking past a stall, there were all kinds of folding fans and round fans on it. As a scholar, how could he miss a paper fan? This was a standard weapon for scholars to show off. Although it was winter now, he didn't use this thing to fan himself.

It was like a man wearing a watch in modern time and space. How many of them really used it to tell time? It was just an ornament, well, an ornament for showing off.

"How much is this one?"

Jiang Hao pointed to a folding fan made of imperial bamboo and asked the vendor.

Jiang Hao picked a white paper fan, both sides of which were white paper, which was specially left for literati to write and paint by themselves, or to ask famous artists to write poems and paint. Then he would write a poem and paint a picture by himself, which was much better than the fans painted by painters.

"30 wen." said the vendor.

Not expensive. In the future, a fan made of imperial bamboo costs hundreds of yuan at the cheapest and tens of thousands of yuan at the most.

When he took out the silver note to pay, the vendor was in a dilemma, "Sir, don't joke with me. I can't find any silver note to pay for a fan. I'm afraid I can't make as much money as you do even if I sell fans for a year."

Jiang Hao also realized this. It's okay to buy big things, but it's inconvenient to buy these small things without silver. He should change some silver.

"Well, I'll go to the bank to change some silver and come back later."

Jiang Hao was about to put down the fan. The vendor saw it and immediately said with a smile, "Sir, take this fan first. You can pay me back when you pass by here later."

"Aren't you afraid that I will take it away and not return it?" Jiang Hao asked with a smile.

"No, no, it's just a white paper fan after all. I believe you won't let me, a hard-working businessman, down." The vendor said with a smile.

Well, Jiang Hao did not refuse, and left with the fan.

It was inconvenient without silver, so he changed it to silver first, and walked to the bank. When he looked up, he saw the words "Hu Ji Bank" on the plaque. The silver note in his hand came from the Hu family.

Jiang Hao just walked to the door, but suddenly met a group of people coming out of the bank. Jiang Hao had seen this person before. It was Cao Guanshi who went to the Jiang family to collect debts a few days ago.

The fat Cao Guanshi saw Jiang Hao at a glance, narrowed his eyes, and smiled, "Oh, isn't this Jiang Shusheng? He actually came to the county bank. Could it be that he has money in the bank? This is really strange."

Jiang Hao looked at this guy and said lightly: "You are right, Jiang is here to withdraw money." Then he was about to walk in.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute." Manager Cao opened an arm to stop Jiang Hao.

"Are you kidding? Withdraw money. If you have money, withdraw money. If you really have money, you can pay off the previous debt."

Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Don't you know that I have paid off my debt?"

"Pay off the debt, why don't I know, don't talk nonsense, what are you doing in our Huji Bank? If you are really rich, hehe, then pay off the debt first." Butler Cao said reluctantly.

Jiang Hao didn't bother to quarrel with this kind of person. He waved his folding fan and tapped the fat steward's arm, just right on the acupuncture point. Steward Cao's arm suddenly went numb and he swung it to the side. Getting out of the way, Jiang Hao walked into the bank.

Manager Cao was suddenly attacked and screamed. He was very angry. He let a poor scholar be beaten. This was not bad. He shouted to the two green-clothed servants next to him: "Go in and arrest that scholar Jiang." Come on, don’t let him run away today, I must teach him a lesson.”

Two servants in Tsing Yi rushed into the bank. Manager Cao rubbed his numb arms and rushed in. In the hall, two servants in Tsing Yi surrounded Jiang Hao. The atmosphere was a bit tense. The shopkeeper and all the waiters in Tsing Yi were sitting in the bank. , all looking outside through the high fence.

When Manager Cao saw Jiang Hao being blocked in the room, he shouted: "Jiang Hao, how dare you attack me. Today I will let you know who you shouldn't mess with. Scholars, hehe, I only beat you like this." student."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists and rushed forward.

"stop!"

Suddenly, a loud roar came from the counter. Manager Cao, who had only taken half a step forward, suddenly stopped. Because he braked too hard, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. However, he recognized that the roar was from the shopkeeper. The sound didn't dare to stop.

The inner door of the bank opened quickly, and a middle-aged man in his forties came out quickly. He first looked at Jiang Hao, and finally looked at Manager Cao and asked, "What did you shout just now?"

"Hit him!"

"That's not what you said. What did you call him?" The shopkeeper glared at Manager Cao.

Manager Cao was extremely surprised and said smoothly, "My name is Jiang Hao."

"Which Jiang Hao?"

"Outside Qingxi Town, Lanxi County, three miles to the east, Jiang Hao, a down-and-out scholar, owes our bank 60 taels of silver. He used six acres of land at home as collateral for a three-month loan period. It has been a month and a half now." Manager Cao said.

"Snapped!"

The shopkeeper raised his hand and slapped Manager Cao hard in the face.

The slap was so loud that everyone in the bank heard it clearly. Manager Cao's fat face instantly turned red, and there was a five-finger handprint on his face.

Manager Cao stood there, originally wanting to cover his face, but he froze when he raised his hand halfway. The shopkeeper hit him. Covering his face was disrespectful to the shopkeeper. He didn't dare, but at this moment, he was confused and confused. Full of question marks, why did the shopkeeper hit me?

The shopkeeper blinked and yelled at Manager Cao: "Ignorant thing, no matter who comes to our bank, they are all guests. How can you yell at the guests and shout to kill them? I see you I don’t want to do it anymore.”

"From today on, you will be revoked from your position in charge. Now get aside and reflect."

Manager Cao was completely dumbfounded. Why? Why was he dismissed? What did he do wrong? Could it be because of this poor scholar? It's not like this.

The two servants in green who had just surrounded Jiang Hao were so frightened by this scene that they shrank back unconsciously and moved their feet back inch by inch.

After the shopkeeper finished handling the matter here, he turned to look at Jiang Hao. His face had already turned into a smile, and he cupped his hands and said, "Is this Young Master Jiang Hao?"

Jiang Hao was a little surprised, but he had some guesses in his heart. He raised his hand and said in return: "I, Jiang Hao, don't dare to be a young master. I just don't know if it's the Jiang Hao you mentioned."

The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "No matter who they are, they are all guests of Huji Bank. We always greet our guests with a smile and make them feel at home and enjoy the spring breeze."

Jiang Haoxin said, shopkeeper, do you know what you are talking about?

The shopkeeper also realized that what he said seemed to be a bit messy and coughed twice, "Mr. Jiang, why did you come to the bank?"

Jiang Haoxin said, finally getting down to business. He had a lot of things to do today and didn't have time to hang out with them here.

"Exchange money."

As he spoke, he took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket.

"Exchange all of this for silver."

The shopkeeper took the banknotes and counted them carefully, then said with a smile: "There are five hundred and forty taels in total. Can I exchange them all for silver?"

"right."

It is inconvenient for others to carry dozens of kilograms of silver, but it is most suitable for Jiang Hao. After all, silver is more convenient to use.

"No problem, I will exchange it for you right now." The shopkeeper ran into the bank and quickly ordered the clerk to exchange the money. Without a moment's delay, the others did not dare to neglect. In just a moment, he brought out a small cash box.

"Mr. Jiang, do you need me to send you somewhere?" the shopkeeper asked attentively.

"No need, these are not heavy." After saying that, he picked up the box and left.

When Jiang Hao walked out of the bank door, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and felt a big stone fall in his heart. Fortunately, he was smart and did not cause a big disaster. He just received the order from the master and the shopkeeper yesterday. If he offends the distinguished guests today, then Don’t be a bank manager yourself.

Thinking of this, he turned around and glared at Manager Cao, "Come in with me and explain everything clearly word for word. If you have anything to hide, be careful what you do."

Manager Cao was so frightened that he nodded obediently.

Before the shopkeeper left, he called a few more clerks and ordered them to report the news of Jiang Hao's appearance in the county to other Hu Ji shops to avoid any further problems.

Jiang Hao walked to the street and put the cash box in an inconspicuous and remote location. He only put a silver coin in his sleeve. He came to a shop selling roast chicken, pointed to the lotus leaf chicken inside and said, " Boss, here are a hundred lotus leaf chickens.”
