The eight counties in Yangzhou and Xinhe County are small in size but have a prosperous business. What is criticized is that there is no talent. For Nie Yong, this is almost an unbreakable situation.

There is a Zhang family in Xinhe County that occupies half of the country. The Zhang family owns 100,000 acres of land, and the Liu family, Liang family, Cui family, and Xu family, which are closely related to the Zhang family. These are all big families.

The Zhang family is an imperial merchant family, and these families are also merchant families. Influenced by these families, there are not many scholars in Xinhe County, which is more than one step away from other counties.

In addition, Nie Yong himself is not from Jiangnan. He was born in Huguang area and was transferred to Jiangnan in the Hanlin Academy in the capital. On the ground of Yangzhou, he was not familiar with the place. Even if there were a few talents in Xinhe County, he could not keep them.

Not only are the talents unable to be retained, but the taxation of agriculture and mulberry trees, Xinhe County, the criminal case prison, is also ranked behind. The three-year political performance evaluation is coming. For Nie Yong, his future destiny is really unpredictable!

"The tiger falls into the Pingyang and is bullied by a dog!" Nie Yong sighed softly. Nie Yong is an orthodox Jinshi, and he is the first to be a Jinshi in the second grade. He went directly to the Hanlin Academy. He worked as a Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy for three years, but was sent to Jiangnan as a magistrate. Who can he tell him about his grievances?

From the capital to Jiangnan, Nie Yong was deposed clearly. His superiors and colleagues in Yangzhou could see clearly. Who would give him a good look?

In a literary gathering like today, my colleagues were polite on the surface, but secretly regarded Xinhe County as the last one!

A dragon boat race cannot explain anything, but Xinhe County is at the end of the eight counties. Where can Nie Yong, as the magistrate, look good?

"Brother Nie, today's Wenhui, Xinhe County is in the limelight!" Song Jin, the magistrate of Nanyou County, came over with a smile and said with a slight smile.

Nie Yong frowned slightly, and Ma Ma of Dujiang County on the other side said: "Huh? How can Brother Song explain this? We would like to listen to it!"

Song Jin said: "Today, our Shunshuiwen Club changed to poetry meetings. The reason is that the so-called Guanshan Poetry Club is the foundation of Guanshan Academy under Brother Nie's rule. Hehe, I didn't expect that Brother Nie actually kept such a trick in secret. It really caused thunder in silence. Brothers admired it!"

"Uh..." Nie Yong was speechless. He didn't know what Guanshan Poetry Contest was. Although Guanshan Academy was a county school, Gui Liang was responsible for the academy.

Although Gui Liang is white, his status in Yangzhou is not comparable to Nie Yong? Nie Yong wanted to get close to Gui Liang countless times, but he could not get what he wanted.

Like this mountain-watching poetry meeting, Nie Yong didn’t know about it in advance. Now that Song Jin talked about this topic, how could he not be embarrassed?

Ma Zhixian from Dujiang County said, "Oh! Brother Nie is such a big deal! I said why the talents in Xinhe County are not showing off today? It turns out that all the talents have gone to the Guanshan Poetry Club.

Tsk, tsk, the talented people in Xinhe County are amazing. We Zhishuiwen will look down on them, hehe!"

Ma Xuewang, the magistrate of Dujiang County, was the most cautious person. He was the most skilled in charming. He was a little mean and pointed at Nie Yong.

At today's literary meeting, the magistrates were not satisfied with each other. Zeng Guoning and Gui Liang from Zhishui Academy fought against each other. They had no objection to each other.

However, because of this debate, the performance of the talents of the Zhishui Cultural Society has fallen short of their standards today, and the county men in each county feel a little unhappy.

For today's literary gathering, all counties have made full preparations and are preparing to support a few people. What is the most important thing about literary gathering? It is that a talented man becomes famous!

How did the Four Masters of Zhishui come from? Didn’t they be praised at the literary conference?

Zeng Guoning turned today's literary gathering into a poetry gathering, and put forward a restriction on "sading spring and sadness in autumn". In addition, various rhyme restrictions make it too difficult to produce excellent works.

How can talents become famous without excellent works? How can they make a name for themselves?

Zeng Guoning was respected and it was difficult for all county magistrates to offend easily, but Nie Yong was originally an outsider, the target of being excluded by his colleagues and suppressed by his superiors. Song Jin was the first to rush his anger to him. After a series of events, Nie Yong felt that he was completely isolated.

Tongzhi Lord Liang's attitude was very subtle. He gently said, "Okay, dear masters, Lord Nie has difficulties with Lord Nie, so don't target him, okay?

There are not many excellent works today, but there are still excellent works. Chen Gui and Qin Yue have all performed well! There are also several talented men who are also easy to write. Now I will give you a simple question.

I will write a few more excellent works on the title of ‘Dragon Boat’. Is it better to determine the ranking of today’s dragon boats?”

Liang Quanyi's statement immediately caused a commotion at the scene. The word "Dragon Boat" is too simple and there is no limit to rhyme, so it is definitely a masterpiece.

There were all talented people on the scene, and everyone's minds immediately became immersed in the poem. The county magistrates suddenly became nervous and had no time to target Nie Yong.

Ma Xuewang laughed strangely and said, "Brother Nie, Lord Liang has saved you today. If you look back, you must get close to Lord Liang!"

When Nie Yong heard Ma Xuewang's words, he was just vomiting blood. He was so bullying. Everyone is the same county magistrate. What qualifications does Ma Xuewang have to be so condescending and arrogant?

If you want to talk about talent and learning, Nie Yong is the first to be a second-class student, a talented man in the Hanlin Academy, and Ma Xuewang has never even seen the emperor before. What is it?

If Nie Yong had a few years ago, he would have to be blown up on the spot, but now it is different from before. Compared with other counties, Xinhe County is at a disadvantage everywhere, and he can't stand up.

Everyone's colleagues sat here together. Lord Liang seemed to be helping Nie Yong, but he didn't know what he was thinking behind him!

"Huh!" Nie Yong let out a long breath, still unable to release his inner depression. He stood up slightly and glanced over the platform.

Under the high platform, many talented men have already started to make a fuss.

Lord Liang gave the title of "Dragon Boat". This topic is simple and talented and quick-thinking talented man has begun to go to the poetry stage to record his poems.

"Okay, Zheng Zheng's poem is very wonderful. Five-character quatrains, every word is a masterpiece, so it should be considered a masterpiece!" There was a cheer from below.

On the high platform, Ma Xuewang immediately approached a few people, including Song Jin.

"Brother Ma, Dujiang County is indeed a place of outstanding personal land. As soon as Zheng Zhizhi published this poem, I think few people can compete!"

"Where, where, everyone, you are kind. The Prophet has been quick-witted since childhood. He can stand out because of Master Zeng, academy, has a good teaching. His hometown is in this county, and I am very grateful!"

At this time, another talented poem was recited on the poetry stage, causing another commotion.

Several county magistrates on the high platform began to greet and praise each other again. Seeing the lively fun of his colleagues, Nie Yong was alone, and he suddenly felt extremely lonely.

The poetry competition is very intense. As more and more masterpieces are produced, the smell of gunpowder among the talents gradually becomes stronger.

If you look at the scene carefully, it is not difficult to find that everyone is obviously divided into two factions, one is Chen Gui as the core, and the other is Qin Yue as the core.

Chen Gui and Qin Yue are the four masters of Zhishui. After two other talented high school juren went to Beijing to prepare for the exam, Zhishui Academy now respects them.

Both of them are very talented, and they are both subordinates of Zeng Shanzhu, but they are not convinced by each other. After Chen Gui wrote a poem, he won a lot of luck and immediately pointed the finger at Qin Yue.

Chen Gui is from Nanyou County. Song Jin, the Zun of Nanyou County, was already grinning and laughing. Someone was holding a sedan chair by his side and said, "Oh, I can't compete for the first dragon boat. That position was prepared for Lord Song!"

"How dare you? How dare you! Chen Gui is today? This is all the love that you all have for him. I thank you for him here!"

At this time, a new situation occurred below. Qin Yue stepped onto the poetry platform to write a poem. This poem is also a quatrain, and its level is not below Chen Gui.

It was bustling all of a sudden, and there was chaos below. Both sides had their own opinions, and no one wanted to be at a disadvantage.

The poem was passed on to the high platform. After all the adults got the poem, it was very difficult to evaluate it. Song Jin was very popular, but Qin Yue was from Weiyang County.

Lord Sun of Weiyang County is a person in the court. Weiyang County has all the achievements of all Yangzhou counties. If nothing unexpected happens, Lord Sun will soon be promoted.

Song Jin can bully Nie Yong, but he dares to bully Sun Tongjie and Lord Sun?

This question arises, no literature is the first, no martial arts are the second. Today, Chen Gui and Qin Yue are on the rise, and they have to compete for a higher position. What should I do?

At this time, the poetry meeting was filled with pleasure boats. Not only were the talents standing on their own, but there were so many girls on the pleasure boat!

Today, three of the four courtesans came, Du Yueniang, Ding Zi and Luo Qiaoqiao, all came out, and the atmosphere of the literary club was exaggerated to the peak.

The talented men's faces and thick necks are half because of the intense poetry meeting, and the other half because of the appearance of the courtesan, which stimulates everyone's desire to express themselves.

I heard the talented man from Qin Yue’s side shout: “Miss Du, do you say something! Do you like Mr. Qin’s poems or Mr. Chen’s poems?”

Du Yueniang smiled with a smile on her face. The woman was emitting a scent of wind and flowing. She covered the cherry mouth with her handkerchief and said, "What a pity, Sister Qilan is not here today. Mr. Chen, you may be at a disadvantage today!"

She pondered for a moment and said, "I feel something about this poem by Mr. Qin. I am willing to play the piano. Who would like to come and reconcile?"

Du Yueniang said this, but Qin Yue still didn't understand. He immediately shouted: "Miss Du played the piano, Qin Yue came to talk to him with poetry..."
