Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 256 Mr. Jie misses the undergraduate prospect

Chapter 256: Mr. Jie missed the undergraduate prospect
Zhu Yuanzhang is really unambiguous in his work.

He just casually asked people to prepare some food, tea, etc. and bring them up so that the candidates and ministers could rest for a while.

He didn't even leave, he just sat on the dragon chair and started correcting the test papers on the spot.

But as he looked at it, Lao Zhu, who had a solemn expression on his face, became more and more serious.

He suddenly realized that his own Ming Dynasty was in trouble.

You know, the current level is a palace examination!

It’s time for the imperial examination, and logically speaking, they should be the best among the scholars.

But even among these top performers, when it comes to the sea ban, they can't even analyze the pros and cons in any meaningful way.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all what these candidates wrote.

Because no matter what he wrote, for Zhu Yuanzhang, it was just for fun and inspiration.

When it comes to national policy, even figures like Hu Weiyong are too wise to say anything. How much say do these students who have not even entered official circles have?
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't care whether they said yes or no.

But whether it's good or bad, you have to tell me one, two, three, four.

You know, Hu Weiyong had discussed it with Zhu Yuanzhang when the examination questions were originally set.

The test questions this time are to see the abilities of these candidates.

Whether the words are meaningful, whether empty talk is hurting the country, and whether it is flattery.

But the result...it can only be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's head was buzzing.

For a moment, he even doubted who was selected from the imperial examinations he held in the past!

This damn girl can't be all trash!

If the quality is similar to this time, is it because the scholars of Ming Dynasty did not study well, or is there something wrong with the imperial examination itself?

Take a look at the exam paper in front of you. You can see it after just flipping through it.

Significantly more candidates sang praises for the sea ban.

These people can't be said to be wrong.

But the key point is that if you agree with the sea ban, then you should give a suitable reason.

After all, it was the flattering words that civil servants used to say, and then there were all kinds of gossip and so on, which made Zhu Yuanzhang's old face turn black.

Isn't this girl the most typical rotten scholar?

To put it bluntly, he just doesn't know how to do shit, let alone become a people-friendly official who actually handles government affairs.

This kind of person simply doesn't have the ability to help make suggestions on government affairs.

After coming to this conclusion, Zhu Yuanzhang felt particularly unhappy.

Because it made him feel like he had been cheated.

Are the officials of Lao Zhu’s family just these things?

The salary was quite generous, but as a result, not to mention down-to-earth work and administration, I didn't even have the brains to help come up with ideas.

So what is the use of such a person?

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced down with a gloomy expression and held back.

I can’t help it!

If you can't bear it anymore, it will be really refreshing to kill and remove all the useless officials who are serious to him.

But where could he find so many follow-up officials to fill the vacancies all of a sudden?

What's more, the main problem now is that the imperial examinations, the talents selected by the imperial examinations are somewhat unreliable. Wouldn't it be even worse if the current group of people who had become veterans were removed and replaced by new people?

So, be patient for now!
When we find a way, we can just deal with these bastards one by one.

The salary from his old Zhu family is not that easy to get.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally calmed down and looked at the test papers of other candidates.

At this glance, I really discovered something.

Many scholars who chose to talk about the disadvantages of the sea ban in this topic actually wrote something!
Of course, their suggestions are still very naive.

The writing style is not sophisticated enough, the perspective is not far-reaching enough, and the things I see are generally not broad enough...

But there is one thing to say, compared to those useless people who are flattering and can't say a few sensible words, these people are undoubtedly more talented.

The most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang keenly discovered from here that some of the suggestions were somewhat related to the things he discussed with Mr. Hu last time.

Although the explanation is not as thorough as Mr. Hu's, but since the ideas are related, doesn't it prove that if you work hard in the future, you can reach the level of Mr. Hu?
Thinking about these things, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very happy!

Finally, after Zhu Yuanzhang read all the test papers, he selected three test papers.

This is intended to be the third best, second best, and top pick in this imperial examination.

If you really want to talk about it, in fact, among the top three in the imperial examination, it is impossible to say who is better than the other.

After all, the imperial examination questions were too "subjective".

In this case, let alone the top pick and the top pick, there won't even be a big difference between the top pick and the top twenty picks.

It's rare that someone makes a big splash and everyone admires them.

To put it bluntly, who can’t find faults!
Therefore, the number one pick, the second pick, and the third overall pick were actually chosen by Zhu Yuanzhang who he found pleasing to his eyes.

Now Lao Zhu has selected the top three, but the one he announced first is the third overall pick!
And when Zhu Yuanzhang announced the results, everyone suddenly discovered that the prodigy was Xie Jin.

When Jie Jin heard that Zhu Yuanzhang announced his results and found out that he had become the top pick, he was overjoyed.

Although he was a Huiyuan who knew how to try before, everyone knew that his Huiyuan was just picked up.

If the previous farce had not happened, he might still be on the list, but most likely it would not be Huiyuan.

But now, he, Mr. Xie, has become the third most popular person, which makes people feel even more incomprehensible.

In fact, Xie Jin himself was puzzled.

Because he is young, has little knowledge and experience, he is really unsure about this kind of policy issue.

Therefore, facing the palace examination questions, Jie Jin stated many disadvantages of the sea ban.

Some of these things he thought about after hearing hearsay, and some of them came to him on the spur of the moment.

But at least he felt he could give it a try.

Unexpectedly, he really succeeded in this fight, and he actually gained Lao Zhu's approval.

When all the candidates heard that Xie Jin had become the top talent, they were so angry that they got angry on the spot.

But there is nothing they can do now.

As for the remaining two examination papers, Zhu Yuanzhang was not sure for a while, who was hand-picked to be the number one and who was the second.

One of them was about praising the sea ban. The praise was really good. It was not a simple flattery, but a very beautiful one.

The other one, like Xie Jin, also states the disadvantages, but it is more in-depth and detailed than Xie Jin.

When comparing the two, Lao Zhu didn't know who would come first.

Worry!
