The ministers of infrastructure knelt down and begged the scientific research boss to be enthroned

Chapter 24 Luck
Wei Chenrui nodded: "Of course!"

"No one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. The court is managed by people, and it is normal to make mistakes."

"It is said that one can correct one's mistakes by knowing one's mistakes. There is nothing good about it, but who will point out the faults of the imperial court?"

"I don't know what's wrong, how can I fix it?"

"The hall asked him to use specific examples to illustrate. One is to prevent someone from taking this opportunity to slander the imperial court with unfounded things; the other is to let the students supervise the local parents and officials. Whether they have deceived their superiors and lived under their rule The students in this class know a thing or two, it just depends on whether they put their minds to it or not."

"Second!" Zhang Yuancheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was an examination and education official, couldn't help but praise him loudly.

Wei Chenrui nodded at Zhang Yuancheng with a smile, and continued: "This hall thinks so about personnel, time, and anti-cheating."

"It's better for the imperial court to sell the test questions than to let them think of ideas and rack their brains to get the test questions, and let the officials take risks to sell the test questions!"

Knowing what everyone would say, Wei Chenrui raised his hand to stop him: "Don't rush to scold me, it's not too late to scold me after listening to me."

Coupled with the fact that the emperor was also staring at it, with the look of "who dares to scold my daughter, I will scold him to death", the ministers had to suppress their opinions, and waited for Wei Chenrui to finish speaking.

At this time, Wei Chenrui was very fortunate to have a father who doted on him, so that some of his ideas could be implemented smoothly.

Looking gratefully at the emperor above, Wei Chenrui cleared his throat. After talking for so long, his throat felt dry.

Liu Xi, who had been paying attention to this side all the time, glanced at the emperor, and the emperor nodded slightly. Then Liu Xi picked up the tea that was originally prepared for the emperor from the side, walked to Wei Chenrui, and handed it over: "His Royal Highness , have a sip of tea to moisten your throat!"

The condition of his throat made it impossible for Wei Chenrui to refuse, so he thanked him, took the tea, and found out after a few sips.

After returning the teacup to Liu Xi, Wei Chenrui continued, "It's for a purpose that I asked all the adults to come up with questions."

"I plan to use all the questions given by the adults, organize them a little bit, and summarize them into several test papers."

"During the exam, let the candidates randomly select from these exam questions."

"The topic has been announced, and everyone knows that it is fair to candidates."

"However, we can't make the exam too easy. The exam has to start about a month after the test questions are announced."

"One month is enough for capable people."

"If you are not capable, you can only memorize as much as you want. It depends on your luck in the examination room."

"Luck is really hard to say, it's amazing!"

"If you're lucky, you can kick out the clues of a case with just a random question."

"It's also the same for falling off the carriage. If you're lucky, you'll be able to fall onto the haystack, and nothing will happen. If you're unlucky, there are many people who died under the horse's hooves."

"When encountering an assassination, if you are lucky, you can always avoid it. If you are unlucky, the knife may be in a fatal position."

"Of course, if you are strong enough, it's another matter."

"Strength enough, you can find clues from the details and solve the case on your own; you can hold the carriage firmly and prevent yourself from falling out; you can also kill the assassin."

"Thus, although luck can be opportunistic, strength can be based on luck."

"As long as candidates are knowledgeable enough, capable enough, and get good grades, it's nothing to them."

"Therefore, publishing the test questions can highlight a person's ability."

"The imperial examination is not the purpose. The purpose is to select talents. As long as this person is really talented, he will definitely stand out."

"Similarly, if you are lucky, you can also be deleted."

"Maybe some adults will cast aside those who come up by luck, but I can tell everyone that luck is something that you can't envy."

"I am lucky. I was born in the royal family. I am naturally nobler than many people. It is useless for you to be envious."

"However, through your own efforts, you can also become a first-rank official and a king or minister. You are also an existence that others envy and envy."

No one dared to refute what he said. If he refuted it, it would mean that he was envious because of his inability.

"Most of the students' families are not rich. The price of this test question should not be too high, but it should not be too low. It is enough for the students to struggle for a few days before they can afford it."

"We only sell the test questions, not the answers. Those who have money can spend money to buy the answers, and the poor students can take the opportunity to earn some hard work. Those who are interested can also take the opportunity to copy the test questions. Spend a copper coin, kill two birds with one stone!"

"The proceeds from selling the test questions are subsidized to the invigilators, guards, and graders. This can also provide an income for the adults whose families are not very good."

Speaking of this, the officials whose family background is not very good all look happy, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.

Moreover, it might be a very thick mosquito leg.

You know, there are not five thousand, but three thousand candidates who take the exam every year.

Even if each test question is only sold for one tael, selling one thousand copies is 1000 taels.

It only takes a few people to invigilate the examination and mark the papers, and it will not take a few days. The money you get may be more than a month's salary.

Besides, Her Royal Highness did not say that officials cannot participate in selling answers, so this is another income.

The family conditions are good, and I don't care about these, I just think this idea is feasible.

The officials headed by Pei Qianhuo looked a little unhappy.

If the test questions were sold according to what Wei Chenrui said, the people who bought the test questions and leaked them before would definitely not let it go.

However, at this juncture, I dare not say anything.

After all, the imperial examination fraud case is still under investigation by Her Majesty the Empress Dowager. If she jumps out at this time, she might be guilty of guilt.

Ignoring the different expressions of everyone in the audience, the emperor said: "Since you have no objections, please follow the request of His Majesty the Empress Dowager!"

"Yes!" Those who had opinions did not dare to say, and Chaotang recalled the uniform voice again.

Although the ministers agreed, the emperor was afraid that someone would deliberately delay the time and prevent Wei Chenrui from implementing it smoothly, so the emperor continued, "It's just a few topics, it won't take long, I'll give you five days. My lords, bring the exam questions and hand them over to me, and I will hand them over to the empress dowager!"

"Anyone who deliberately delays and fails to submit the test questions on time will be regarded as a protest!"

As soon as these words came out, I felt a little petty in my heart, and I didn't have the courage to make trouble, and they all knelt down and shouted: "Respectfully obey the emperor's imperial edict!"

Wei Chenrui shouted very loudly!
Today's morning court was a bit long, and the important matters had been resolved, so the emperor was about to announce his retirement: "Is there any adult who still doesn't understand? If not, then retreat!"

"I still have questions!" Chen Qingyu, who was the first to raise doubts, spoke again.
