When the papers for the second round were handed out, some officials were completely dumbfounded.

what is this?
Why take these exams?
They had never seen such a strange assessment, and these questions seemed strange.

Chen Ke smiled slightly, listened to the whispered complaints, and said with a smile: "What dissatisfaction do you have with the papers issued by the official?"

"You can say it as much as you want."

"Say it out loud, the governor won't do anything to you."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, everyone present shut their mouths, and finally Jiang Ruo'ang spoke first.

"The governor's paper is very novel, but not too difficult."

He looked around and looked at the people who had just started to discuss in a low voice: "In my opinion, the people who are talking at this time have definitely never managed the place well."

Jiang Ruo'ang sneered: "Even I, who has been abandoned for so many years, can write the answer, can't you?"

There was a hint of threat in his voice and eyes.

"If any of the county magistrates under my administration can't answer, or answer too many mistakes, they can wait for me after the assessment!"

full of threats.

Huo Shi followed closely and said, "That's exactly what Jiang Junshou said."

He smiled slightly: "Governor, let's start the assessment."

After Chen Ke announced the start, everyone began the assessment.

Fu Su held a paper and sat beside Chen Ke, looking at it carefully, with a look of amazement on his face.

In fact, there is no difficulty in this paper, and there are no other tricks. It is just an ordinary paper in Chen Ke's opinion.

There are choices, fill-in-the-blanks, and several short-answer questions on the paper.

All the topics revolve around "people's livelihood".

For example, how many people are there under the rule, how many fields are there, how much is the annual output, and how much is the annual tax under the county.

The question is the same, but everyone's answer is completely different.

And these issues that are completely related to people's livelihood are the root cause of these people's surprise, because many people are preparing "policy theory".

They think that this assessment will only test how to govern the country and how to govern the people.

Test the judgment on the situation of major events in the family and the country, and test the future of Daqin.

However, Chen Ke did not ask these questions.

Because he knew that the officials in the imperial court could mainly be involved in those situations and major affairs of the family and the country, but these officials in the counties and counties must not be like this.

Why?

Because governing a county and the people of a county are not full of politics, full of family and country affairs, and the overall situation.

Governing the people requires personal practice and operation.

If you choose some old scholars and so-called people who are full of politics and empty words to govern local counties, it will only make the local counties worse and worse.

This is a fundamental departure from the vicious circle of selecting officials.

Chen Ke quietly looked at these officials who were answering the questions. He will conduct more assessments in the future, and he will definitely not stop.

As an official, if he knows nothing but uses so-called "political tricks", then this official is a waste.

At least in Chen Ke's eyes.

He yawned, looked at Fusu and said, "If you have nothing to do, just write your paper."

Chen Ke looked at Fusu with a smile on his face.

"Since I came to Penglai Island, I haven't given you homework yet."

"Come today, it just happens to be your homework these days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fusu's face turned bitter. He didn't expect that he just picked up a paper, and actually provoked the teacher's memory of assigning him homework.

Immediately he sighed helplessly, picked up a pen, asked someone to move a table, and wrote carefully.

Chen Ke looked at the crowd with a smile on his face, yawning while supervising the assessment.

In fact, at this time, no one dared to cheat.

On the one hand, everyone was afraid that Chen Ke would directly kill him. On the other hand, they all knew that other people's answers were different from their own, and cheating would have no effect.

Therefore, Chen Ke felt that this was the easiest assessment he had supervised.

Simply very comfortable.

Time gradually passed away quietly, and in the blink of an eye, an afternoon arrived.

The setting sun in the sky rendered the dazzling blue and white into orange-red, and the orange-red light was sometimes like red clouds and sometimes as bright as blood.

The great sun turned into a round of burning red coals, and then fell down the hillside.

"when--"

"when--"

"when--"

Three bells and drums sounded, marking the official end of the assessment.

Everyone sat there, some with stiff faces, some with miserable faces, some with confident faces, and some with innocent faces.

All kinds of things in the world are like this.

Linzi County City, in a mansion.

Wei Xin heard the bell of the governor's mansion not far away, and immediately stood up, looked at Tian Cheng beside him and said, "Now, it's time to go to the governor's office, right?"

"Their assessment is over!"

Tian Cheng stood up, his robes were in order, his expression was serious, and he wore a hair crown on his head.

"Let's go."

Governor's Mansion

After Chen Ke collected the papers, checked and packed up his belongings several times, he asked Jiang Ruo'ang and others to leave first.

The guards on the side began to clean up the mess.

Chen Ke stretched his waist, looked at Fusu and said, "Find a few people and ask the guards to watch them, and then ask them to review this paper with each other's answers."

The servant at the side took the test paper respectfully and left.

Several people from the Black Ice Terrace and Iron Eagle Guard quickly followed, while Chen Ke stayed where he was, looking at Fusu.

"Let's go?"

"Although the subject of "people's livelihood" can be done by others, but the subject of "governing the country" needs to be studied by ourselves. "

Fusu shrugged his shoulders, he knew his teacher's temper.

Some things can be excused, but some things must be done by myself with all my heart.

"Let's go."

Outside the Governor's Palace
When Jiang Ruo'ang was talking to the people beside him, three figures suddenly approaching in the distance caught his attention.

Especially which one is the leader.

There was a little weirdness in his expression, as if he was restraining something.

"you"

"Why did you come back?"

Tian Cheng raised his head, his eyes were as cold as frost, even when he saw Jiang Ruo'ang, he didn't have any emotions.

"Could it be that if you can be here, I can't come back?"

"In addition, Governor Jiang, I am the Marquis of Qi personally appointed by His Majesty, and my rank is higher than yours. Why don't you worship me when you see me?"

Jiang Ruo'ang looked a little embarrassed, and slightly bowed his hands in salute.

"I have seen His Highness Qi Hou."

Tian Cheng didn't look at Jiang Ruo'ang, and walked directly into the governor's mansion, walked to the door, looked at the concierge and said, "I am waiting for Tian Cheng, and I came to see Governor Chen by order of His Majesty."

"This is Marquis Wei, and this is Marquis Zhao."

As early as when they left Xianyang City, the imperial decree to confer them had already come down.

The concierge immediately said: "Please wait a moment, I will report to the Governor."

Jiang Ruo'ang's figure walked further and further away. He turned his head and watched Tian Cheng standing at the door being welcomed in by Chen Ke, his expression was even more complicated.

Huo Shi looked at Jiang Ruo'ang's expression thoughtfully: "Brother Jiang has a blood feud with the Tian family? Why do you care so much about a member of the Tian family?"

Jiang Ruo'ang's expression remained unchanged, he just looked at Huo Shi and said, "That's my nephew."

Huo Shi had a clear look on his face. He had heard that Jiang Ruo'ang had a younger sister who married the former King Qi, but he didn't expect it to be this one.

He glanced at Tian Cheng's figure.

This is quite a formidable character.

Inside the Governor's Mansion, the atmosphere was joyous.

Chen Ke patted Tian Cheng's shoulder, laughed and said, "Hahahahahaha, Brother Tian, ​​although I have never met you, Ke has admired you for a long time."

"The matter of destroying Xiang Yu together in Kuaiji County the day before yesterday would not have been possible without your help."

Tian Cheng said modestly and politely: "The governor is joking."

"The governor has far-sighted thinking and strategizing in Xianyang City. How can I cling to it? How dare I let the governor look up to me for a long time. I have been looking up to the governor for a long time."

He pointed to Wei Xin who was already a little shy and said, "Governor, let me introduce you."

"This is the Marquis of Wei whom His Majesty appointed a few days ago. He is the son of Lord Ling'an raised by Lord Longyang and the grandson of King Anli of Wei."

Looking at Yu Que on the other side, he said, "This is Marquis Zhao, the former Young Master Zhao Que, the younger brother of King Zhao Xie."

Chen Ke also looked at the crowd with enthusiasm on his face, and laughed a few times: "Hahahahahaha."

"I have heard about the names of Lord Longyang and Lord Lingan a long time ago. Now that I have met Marquis Wei, I know that the rumored Lord Longyang is true."

He looked at Yu Que and praised him again, praising him for having the legacy of King Zhao Wuling back then.

After praising for a while, he looked at Wei Xin, Tian Cheng, and Yu Que and said, "Speaking of which, did your Majesty tell you the purpose of the three coming to Penglai Island?"

Wei Xin and the three nodded quickly.

Especially Wei Xin, whose cheeks were already flushed at this time, and there was a little shyness and admiration in his eyes.

Fusu sat on the side, quietly watching his teacher fooling around.

I just don't know, when will I "see you in the picture"?
Chen Ke said with a smile and excitement again: "It's good that His Majesty told you."

He sighed a long time, and said: "Penglai Island is really short of manpower, and it will be even more so when Wang Kande is executed."

Chen Ke said quietly: "If the three of you hadn't come, I don't know what would have happened."

"Penglai is guilty, it's my fault, Chen Ke!"

Wei Xin quickly said: "Why does Governor Chen say that? Everyone can see the talent of the governor. If it weren't for the governor, how could Wang Kande be executed?"

"If it wasn't for the governor, how could the iron ore be discovered?"

"If it weren't for the governor, how could the spring plowing be carried out smoothly?"

Wei Xin said with emotion: "It's all because of the governor, why should the governor belittle himself so humbly?"
