Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 495 Su He and the Ninth Prince cooperate again

What Su He is most satisfied with is that there is no pollution in this era, and all food is natural and pollution-free. This is also the reason why Su He is unwilling to hand over the explosives. If the formula is handed over, it may change the situation here.

The next day, Su He got a jar of pickles, wrote down the production method, and sent it to the Ninth Prince's residence.

The Ninth Prince was tired from yesterday's outing, so he did not go out early today. He was also waiting for the surprise that Su He would bring.

When the servants brought the things Su He sent, he carefully read the recipe she wrote, and asked someone to bring chopsticks and plates. He took out some and tasted it. It tasted good.

He thought he could sell it in his own store, or sell it in bulk to some small vendors. Su He's recipe also said that many vegetables and fruits can be pickled into pickles.

The biggest advantage of pickles is that they can be stored for a long time. They taste good. Nowadays, many people lack salt, so pickles can help the people in disguise.

Salt itself is not easy to make, who would have thought that this little girl could do it. Their future use of salt is also guaranteed. I heard from the little girl that this kind of well salt is actually quite abundant. They can send someone to look for it in the future. Anyway, the method of making salt is already known. At most, they can report it to their father and cooperate in mining.

The Ninth Prince now has no restrictions on his business territory, the bigger the better. It is very comfortable to have money, and you don't have to look at other people's faces. Now even his uncle's family goes to his mother to show off.

Now they don't need to rely on anyone, and he covers all the extra expenses of the imperial concubine's palace. His mother is now powerful and rich, and she is very comfortable.

His father, the emperor, treated him better and better. He would often assign him tasks and let him supervise the palace examination that was about to begin.

This is a good job, a job that brings benefits. Who wouldn't be envious of those brothers?

Candidates who passed the joint examination had to take part in the palace examination, which was held after the joint examination. The emperor personally presided over the palace examination, and finally decided the first, second and third place candidates.

The first place in the first class will be named the sixth-rank champion, the second place is the seventh-rank second place, and the third place is the third place. The top three will also wear red and flowers and ride on horses to parade through the streets. The champion will use a golden hairpin with flowers in his hat, and the others will use colorful flowers. After the parade, they will be escorted out of Zhengyang Gate by drums and music, and sent back to their residences with umbrellas.

All these had to be arranged by the Ninth Prince, and if they were completed perfectly, he would receive a large reward from the Emperor. This matter had never caused any trouble, and the Emperor personally presided over it. How blind must he be to get into such trouble?

There are also special ceremonial officers who do these things. They have done it many times and are so familiar with it that they will never make mistakes. In fact, they dare not make mistakes, as this is a capital crime.

If Su He knew, he would also say that the modern college entrance examination is also the most rigorous. As soon as it starts, the police will block the road and escort the test papers. If an accident occurs, the second set of test questions will be started immediately.

If this is cheating, it is a serious crime. Anyway, throughout history, speculators have been sentenced to heavy penalties and imprisonment. The reason why it was rare in ancient times is probably related to the death penalty and the punishment of the entire clan.

The Ninth Prince and Su He both started to get busy, one to set up the new workshop and the palace examination, and the other to develop his own business.

Su He's brothers still had to prepare for the palace examination, even though they didn't know if they would make the list. If they made the list, it would be too late to prepare. They started to study hard with their master again.

Their master Landy Wen is still very much looking forward to the three students, and thinks they all have a chance to be on the list. The three of them have good skills, are hardworking and modest, and have great hope this time.

He did not explain it to them in detail, but just took out the questions from the previous palace examinations and analyzed and explained them to them. He also copied out the excellent examination papers of that year for them to observe and learn from.

From them they could see the emperor's preferences, and also learn from the literary talents of those outstanding people and put them into practice.
