Dao fruit.

"Here, here is your test paper."

In the No. [-] room, Qiu Yan sat at a table, and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as some snacks from the test basket, and put them on the table. Soon, an officer of the No. [-] Army came with a few pieces of paper. , hand it over to Qiu Yan.

"Thank you." Qiu Yan arrived a little later, took the test paper, unfolded it on the table, first glanced at it roughly, and browsed through it.

The subjects of the general examination are similar to those of the provincial examination, and they are still divided into Jingyi, Moyi, Zawen and Policy Questions, but the questions are determined by the Ministry of Rites' imperial examination after negotiating with the examiners.

Just by reading through it, Qiu Yan could see that the questions on the Confucianism and Moyi in this test were much more difficult than those in the rural test, but they were generally similar to the ordinary traditional questions and had little to do with the new law.

"Since it's an exam for the prince and princess, the topic should be related to the new law. Otherwise, how do you get a scholar? Establish the backbone of the reform?"

Regarding Wang Fu as the examiner, although Qiu Yan never said anything, and did not discuss too much with others, he also had his own thoughts in his heart. He knew that Wang Fu intended to use this imperial examination to select some who were ideologically similar The new party is close to the seed.

In fact, even the news that Wang Fu was the chief examiner might have been deliberately released by the New Party. Otherwise, why would it have spread on the day of the Lantern Festival?Isn't that the day with the most people and the fastest news?

"Revealing the news in advance is actually implying candidates to try to understand the new law, but in just half a month, how many people can really understand the mystery of the new law? Only those who have this kind of thinking themselves, and Or those with outstanding savvy can be shown in the examination room, and this kind of person is exactly what the new party needs."

With such thoughts in mind, Qiu Yan opened the examination paper for another essay, but the purpose of entry was a sentence——

If the grain is cheap, it will hurt farmers, and if it is expensive, it will hurt the end.

See this sentence.Qiu Yan's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he couldn't help but think of the situation in Xingjing City.

Due to the imminent promulgation of the City Change Law, there is a turbulent undercurrent in the city, but according to Qiu Yan's understanding, the statement that this is about to be promulgated is not accurate, because this new law was actually tried out not long ago, which forced Merchants in the city took risks.Hoarding food and artificially raising food prices are used as threats.

This is a very dangerous approach. If the Xingjing merchants were not behind the scenes and involved the interests of all parties, how could these merchants dare to confront the state apparatus?

"Cheap grain hurts the peasants, and expensive grain hurts the end. The agricultural generation refers to the peasants, and the end is the last of the scholars, farmers, businessmen. That is, merchants. These words seem to emphasize the elasticity between supply and demand. Grain is too cheap. Farmers who grow grain will naturally not be able to sell at a price and will suffer losses, but if it is too expensive, merchants will be affected when they collect and sell grain, and even affect the circulation of grain. These principles should be conceivable from the actual point of view, It's just a superficial phenomenon after all..."

Thinking about it, he took a deep breath, then lifted up this test paper and looked at the last one.

The last part is policy theory.

The title of this policy theory is not a sentence, or a few words, but a large paragraph of text.

After Qiu Yan glanced at it, he quickly summed up the content in it. In fact, the things mentioned in this passage are not profound. After summarizing it, it can be summed up in one word——

profit!

This simple word can extend many connotations, but in the final analysis, benefits and money cannot be avoided, but the words are very vague. If the understanding is a little weak, it may be missed. The main reason for this is The reason is that in today's Darui, what Confucianism still advocates is "denying money."

"interesting……"

A flash of light flashed in his eyes, Qiu Yan put the examination paper back, then ate a piece of cake, and then began to grind, the whole process revealed a sense of calmness, and when the ink was grinded, he dipped the pen and put it on the examination paper In the marked place, the name and place of origin are written, and the name of this place must be blurred afterwards.

After finishing these, he kept writing, and started to answer the scriptures and ink meanings.

It was only when I wrote this that I felt a huge pressure coming from the inside and from the outside. The inside was the vast thoughts imprisoned by him, and the outside was a cloud of aura, as if to pull him from the outside. Excluded from the Gongyuan!

"This situation is really not good. I have to be distracted to resist the pressure of the Gongyuan. It should be one of the punishments for practicing supernatural powers and vainly trying to integrate into the fate of the dynasty. Although the inner will is temporarily suppressed, it disturbs the thoughts. The heavy pressure outside will affect the state of mind and physical strength, and the trial will last for a day. If this continues, even if the cultivation base is advanced, it will be slowly worn away. It seems that my time is limited, so I can't waste it!"

Thinking in this way, under heavy pressure, he wandered off the pen without flinching or flustered, but started answering the questions on the test paper!

Although these questions are more complicated than those in the rural examination, Qiu Yan is different from the time of the rural examination. Not only has his cultivation level improved greatly, but the spirit of sages has broadened his horizons and improved his ability. His inner comprehension, not to mention the plowing and reading in the hut in the forest, gave him a lot of experience, and his understanding of the scriptures and articles is not the same as before.

As soon as I stroked the pen, as if by divine help, words full of bone and blood fell on the paper, revealing a firm and confident atmosphere, and the blood rose, and the surrounding air gradually became a little foggy, but it was not obvious yet.

………………

"King, what's the matter with you?"

While Qiu Yan was immersed in the examination papers, not far away, Wang He of the No. [-] Army was talking in a low voice with an officer next to him, saying that they wanted to exchange jurisdictions.

When monitoring the exam, each area has fixed guards patrolling, walking back and forth, it is not easy to change positions, to prevent fraud, but the exam will last for a day, so these inspections of the exam room must be mobilized after all, and there are Some unspoken rules.

Wang He said with a smile: "Xiao Li, don't worry, I was just a little careless during the inspection and left some hidden dangers, come here to make sure, and I will leave soon."

Wang He's statement is not necessarily special. There are similar incidents in every imperial examination. After all, once fraud is discovered, there are often joint and several incidents. This forced many soldiers to confirm and remedy it afterwards.

Wang He was transferred from Zhanbing, and he had some prestige in the job. After a few words, the other party agreed to exchange with him temporarily, but the duration could not be long.

"Don't worry." Wang He comforted with a smile, then took a step and walked inside.

In each room along the way, each examinee behaved differently, some kept writing, some frowning and not saying a word, some were confident, some were scratching their heads...

Wang He walked and watched all the way, and stopped when he came to Qiu Yan's number room.

In the No. [-] room, Qiu Yan was bent over his desk, writing vigorously, without any pause between flicking his wrists, revealing the artistic conception of writing like a fountain.

"Qiu..." Wang He wanted to speak, but seeing Qiu Yan's appearance, he felt lingering fear. He was afraid of interrupting the other party's train of thought and angering him, so he swallowed the voice that came to his throat again.

However, as soon as he stopped speaking, Qiu Yan suddenly stopped writing, raised his head and glanced at him. His eyes were as bright as stars, which left a deep impression on Wang He's heart.

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yan lowered his head again.

As soon as he looked away, Wang He returned to normal, but when he recalled just now, he seemed to be frozen. He had something in his heart but forgot to speak, but just as he was getting more and more entangled, Qiu Yan's voice sounded from the bottom of his heart.

The voice was vague, but it contained strange power, which made him instantly understand what Qiu Yan meant. He looked at the other party in surprise again, and then retreated. It was Qiu Yan who asked him to retreat, and he was talking about other things after the test was over.

"Someone wants to harm me, and even mobilizes the invigilator army. Keeping this army officer is just like a pawn. It can not only understand the truth, but also calmly arrange it. This army is harmful to my heart, so it should be punished." Make use of exhausted preparations, but wait until after the trial..."

Qiu Yan didn't raise his head, but he knew Wang He's retreat like the back of his hand, so he thought about it, then turned over the examination paper in front of him, and put Mo Yi's questions aside.

The question paper has already been written, and the test has only started less than half an hour at this time.

………………

"The imperial examination is worthy of being called the Talent Ceremony. The candidates in the examination room are related to the country, and their luck is actually linked to the dynasty."

In the imperial palace, stands a high mountain. This mountain has a strange shape. It is built by collecting stones from all over the world. It is an artificial rockery. The pavilions and pavilions on the mountain are a place for the royal family to play. I often climb high and look at the scenery.

But today will try, the sky is still early, the mountain is silent, only the occasional sound of heavy footsteps from the bottom of the mountain, it is the sound made by soldiers patrolling the imperial city and their military boots trampling on the ground.

However, on the top of the mountain, there is a Taoist figure swaying. It is actually someone sitting on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, and can see the Gongyuan.

Chirp, chirp.

This person was biting the drumstick while looking at it, his hands were covered with oil, and upon closer inspection, he turned out to be a tattered and sloppy Taoist.

He ate the chicken legs in threes and fives, not even the bones, and bit them until they creaked. Then he grabbed at his waist, took out a gourd, and drank a few sips of wine.

After doing this, the man laughed, opened his mouth and sprayed, and the water mist gushed out, condensing into a cloud of water mist in front of him, and a figure emerged from it, but it was an old man with braids on his head.

"Ma Yi, you are so afraid of the Eight Worthy Kings. He really didn't dare to enter the city when he said he wouldn't let you enter the city. You still have to use such means to come over."

"Wugou, you are still such a poisonous tongue. Prospering the capital is not good for the divine way. Even if I come in, ten percent of the means will be lost, so why bother?" The braided old man in the mist did not argue, but shook his head Shaking his head, he turned to look at the Gong Yuan.

"However, this test is very important, but it should not be missed. You should watch it here." (To be continued...)
