Chapter 244: Net Casting Tactics
Overall, this person is simply at the bottom of the class, especially his handwriting, it's as if he has never practiced it.
It was thanks to his policy essays that he managed to reach a level where he could pass the imperial examination.
[The top scorers in the provincial examinations are bound to be targeted by many people, and the price they offer to win them is bound to be very high.]
[This poor little thing that no one cares about is a treasure that can be found at a bargain price. ]
Bei Jingchu's eyes lit up.
Haoyue: I learned something new again~
She was just sighing when she was assigned a task: "You and Bei Qin, each of you should go and capture these people on the list."
"Tai Gong Jiang is fishing, and those who wish will take the bait."
“It’s purely voluntary, no coercion.”
Haoyue was full of confidence, "Don't worry, Your Highness. If your name is known to others, 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 Tianwu!
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 enter into a marriage contract with him and marry their daughter to him.
But those who came were not big shots.
Although it was enough for him, it was nothing when considering the whole of Dai Viet.
Qin Yuping did not refuse, but did not agree either.
He knew that once he was tied to someone, he would work for them for the rest of his life.
But there is no future if we fight alone.
Unless you have the support of a noble person, you can only hold the lowest-level official position for your entire life.
At first, he was a little complacent, waiting for someone in a high position of power to come to him.
But after waiting for a long time, the highest-ranking person who came was an official of the fifth rank.
Qin Yuping was about to give up.
Just join that guy, he is just a scholar.
There are so many top scorers every year, why was he discovered by the powerful?
Just when he was about to reply, he received an invitation letter asking him to meet at Yu Tower.
Yu Lou is the Tan family's restaurant, and only the most distinguished guests of the Tan family can enter.
But in fact, it is a place for dignitaries to entertain themselves.
None of the people who had invited him before were qualified to enter the Rain Tower.
Qin Yuping held the invitation, unable to conceal his excitement.
Good luck is about to come to him!
He took out his most decent clothes, washed and dressed, and waited for the time to keep the appointment.
The people from Yu Tower stopped him first. After seeing the invitation, they did not take him to the private room upstairs. Instead, they took him to the backyard and led him into a side room.
He became even more nervous.
Is the person I met this time of such a high status?
After entering the room, I still didn't see the man's true face.
A gauze screen was placed across 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 worth thousands of gold per inch.
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 aroma of cigarettes eased his tense nerves a little.
The person opposite finally spoke: "Mr. Qin."
It was a girl's voice.
Qin Yuping was shocked, 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...
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 to him 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. With a prefecture like Dai Viet, how many champions will there be each time?"
"Don't make the mistake of being arrogant."
“Only if you follow the right person and take the right path can your talent be put to practical use.”
This sentence hit the point, and Qin Yuping had to lower his proud head.
Haoyue learned this method of persuading people from the princess.
I heard it’s called something like “Piyo”?
It means suppressing the other party first, making them lose confidence, and then giving them small favors, so that you can win their hearts at the lowest cost.
The princess seemed to say it was a dirty trick at that time?
No matter, as long as it works.
After undermining the confidence of the candidate, Haoyue announced Bei Jingchu's name: "Princess Tianwu has a keen eye for talent 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 hurry up, there will be many people who want to follow Your Highness."
Water was shaken out of the teacup in Qin Yuping's hand.
Princess Tianwu...
She was the evil woman who, according to rumors, massacred loyal officials and enriched herself.
A devil with a cruel heart at a young age.
Qin Yuping never thought that the princess would want to win him over.
At this time, Haoyue did not speak, giving people time to think.
At the beginning, when Qin Yuping heard the rumor, he analyzed another kind 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 aristocratic officials.
Being able to massacre ministers means that she holds great power and is in the emperor's favor.
And now she is trying to win over the scholars, which means she wants to cultivate her own direct lineage.
This is a bit exciting, involving royal struggles, where you either become rich and powerful, or die without a single bone.
Qin Yuping thought for a long time and decided to do it!
In one's life, there is no such thing as wealth that is obtained for free and without any 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 to encounter 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, but I was actually rubbing my hands under the table.
Wuhu~Finally someone who is on the right track has arrived.
She pushed out a small wooden box and said, "My dear, you are very sincere. This is a 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 walked out holding the box, full of anticipation for the road ahead.
He knew that gold would shine.
With his talent, he will definitely meet someone who will appreciate him.
I just don't know how the princess chose him among so many students.
What is it about him that makes him so unique?
Is it this handsome face?
At this time, a scholar from the same hometown as him was brought over and greeted him: "Brother Qin, are you also invited here?"
Qin Yuping: ...So, Princess Tianwu doesn’t value him, but is just 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 dazzling golden light inside blinded his eyes.
The elegant and graceful young man sighed in shock: "Fuck."
No matter how fancy the words are, they cannot express his mood as well as this one word.
The feeling of not being appreciated immediately dissipated.
It’s good to cast a net. It’s good to cast a net.
If Your Highness doesn't cast the net, how can he be pulled ashore?
