"Hold, here's your exam paper. ”

In the room, Qiu Yan sat at a table, took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the examination basket, along with a little cake for the stomach, and put them on the table.

"Thank you. When Qiu Yan arrived, he took the exam paper, unfolded it on the table, first glanced at it roughly, and browsed it.

The questions of the general examination are similar to those of the township examination, and they are still divided into scriptures, inks, essays, and policy questions, but this question is the question set by the imperial examination of the Ministry of Rites after negotiating with the examiner.

Just by reading through, Qiu Yan can see that the Jingyi and Moyi questions in this test are much more difficult than those in the township test, but they are generally similar to ordinary traditional questions and have little to do with the new law.

"Since it is the princess Wang Xiang's exam, the topic should be related to the new law, otherwise how to get a scholar?

Although Qiu Yan never said anything about Wang Fu's appointment as the chief examiner, nor did he discuss too much with others, he also had his own thoughts in his heart, and he knew that Wang Fu had the intention to use this imperial examination to select some seeds that were close to the New Party ideologically.

As a matter of fact, even the news that Wang Fu was the chief examiner may have been deliberately released by the New Party, otherwise why would it have spread on the day of the Lantern Festival? Wasn't it the day when the most people flowed and the news spread the most rapidly?

"Revealing the news in advance is actually a hint that the candidates should 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 the idea of this aspect, or who have excellent understanding, can show themselves in the examination room, and this kind of person is exactly what the new party needs. ”

With such thoughts, Qiu Yan opened the examination paper of the essay again, but the purpose was one sentence-

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

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

Due to the relationship between the promulgation of the city change law, the dark tide in the city is surging, but according to Qiu Yan's understanding, this statement that it is about to be promulgated is not accurate, because not long ago, this new law has actually been tried on a trial basis, which forced the city's businessmen to take risks. Hoarding food and artificially driving up food prices as a threat.

This is a very dangerous practice, if it is not for the interests of all parties behind the Xingjing businessmen, how can these businessmen dare to confront the state apparatus?

"The grain is cheap, it hurts the peasants, the expensive hurts the end, the peasants refer to the peasants, and the last is the last one among the farmers and industrialists. That is, the merchants, which seem to emphasize the elasticity between supply and demand, the grain is too cheap, and the farmers who grow the grain. Naturally, if you can't sell it at a price, you will suffer a loss, but if it is too expensive, the merchant will collect the grain and sell it. will be affected, and even affect the circulation of food, these truths. From the actual point of view, it should be conceivable, but after all, it is only a superficial phenomenon......"

Thinking about it, he took a deep breath, and then lifted the exam paper as well, looking at the last one.

The last part is the strategy.

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

After Qiu Yan glanced at it, he quickly summarized the content in it, in fact, this paragraph, what it says is not profound, and it can be summed up in one word-

Sharp!

This simple word, but can extend many connotations, but in the final analysis, it is still not possible to avoid interests, money, but it is very obscure, if the understanding is a little worse, it is possible to omit it, the main reason for this is that in today's Da Rui, Confucianism advocates "talking about financial interests".

"It's kind of interesting......"

A glint flashed in his eyes, Qiu Yan put the exam paper again, then ate a piece of cake, and then began to grind, the whole process revealed a calm taste, until the ink was researched, and the pen was dipped in it, and the place marked on the exam paper was written with his name and place of origin, which was to be confused afterwards.

After doing this, he kept writing, and he had to start to answer the meaning of the scriptures and the meaning of ink.

It was only with this stroke of the pen that he felt a huge pressure, surging from the inside and from the outside, the inner was the vast idea that was imprisoned by him, and the outer was a clear aura, as if he wanted to expelle him from the tribute courtyard!

"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 fortune of the dynasty, although the will inside is temporarily suppressed, but it disturbs the thoughts, and the heavy pressure on the outside affects the mood and physical strength, and it will try to last for a day, like this, even if the cultivation is profound, it will be slowly consumed, it seems that my time is limited, and I can't waste the slightest!"

Thinking like this, he put pressure on him all his life, walked down the pen, did not flinch, did not panic, but answered the questions on the exam paper!

Although these questions are more complicated and male than the township test, Qiu Yan is now different from the time of the township test, not only has the cultivation realm been greatly improved, but the spirit of the sages has broadened his horizons and improved his mental comprehension, not to mention the cultivation and reading in the woods, which has made him experience a lot, and his understanding of the scriptures and articles is not the same as before.

With this pen, suddenly like divine help, the words full of bones and blood fell on the paper, revealing a firm and confident atmosphere, the qi and blood rose, and a little fog gradually appeared in the surrounding air, but it was not obvious.

..................

"Wangtou, what is the matter with you?"

At the same time that Qiu Yan was immersed in the examination papers, not far away, the army king and he were talking in a low voice with an errand officer on the side, saying that he was going to exchange jurisdictions.

When monitoring the exam, there are fixed patrols in each area, walking back and forth, and it is easy to not swap positions to prevent fraud, but the test lasts for a day, so these examination room inspections must be transferred 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 when I searched, and I left some hidden dangers, come and confirm it, and leave soon." ”

Wang He's statement is not necessarily special, every imperial examination has similar things, after all, once fraud is discovered, there is often collateral, which forces many soldiers to confirm and remedy afterwards.

Wang He transferred from the soldiers, and he also had some prestige in the errand service, and after saying a few words, the other party agreed to exchange with him temporarily, but it could not last long.

"Don't worry. Wang He smiled comfortingly, and then took a step and walked inside.

In the number room along the way, each candidate performed differently, some kept writing, some frowned and said nothing, some were confident, and some scratched their ears and cheeks......

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

In the room, Qiu Yan was lying down at the desk, writing hard, without a pause between the flips of his wrists, revealing the artistic conception of literary thoughts.

"Qiu ......" Wang He wanted to speak, but when he saw Qiu Yan's appearance, he had palpitations, for fear that interrupting the other party's train of thought would anger him, so he swallowed back the voice that came to his throat.

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

Immediately after, Qiu Yan lowered his head again.

As soon as his eyes were gone, Wang He returned to normal, just thinking back to just now, but as if he was frozen, he had something in his heart but forgot to speak, but just as he was becoming more and more entangled, Qiu Yan's voice sounded in his heart.

The voice was vague, but it contained a strange amount of power, which made him instantly understand what Qiu Yan meant, and glanced at the other party again in disbelief, and then retreated, this is Qiu Yan asked him to step back, and after the end of the test, he said something else.

"Some people want to be unfavorable to me, and they can even mobilize the invigilator army, keep this number army, just as a chess piece, you can not only understand the reality of the truth, but also calmly arrange, this army is harmful to my heart, I should be prepared to be used, but I have to wait until after the exam......"

Qiu Yan didn't raise his head, but he knew everything about Wang He's retreat, and turned his mind around, then flipped over the exam paper in front of him and put the Moyi question aside.

The question had already been written on the paper, and it was less than half an hour before the test began.

..................

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

In the palace, there is a high mountain, this mountain has a strange shape, it is to collect the stones of the world to build up, it is an artificial rockery, the pavilions and pavilions on the mountain are a place to play for the royal family, the emperor, the princess, the concubine often climb high to look at the scene.

But today, it was still early, and the mountain was silent, except for the occasional heavy footsteps at the bottom of the mountain, which was the sound of soldiers patrolling the imperial city and their military boots trampling on the ground.

However, on the top of the mountain, there is a figure swaying, and there are actually people sitting on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, and they can take the Gongyuan into their eyes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

While watching, this person bit the chicken leg, his hands were full of greasy, and when he looked closely, he turned out to be a ragged and sloppy Taoist.

He finished eating the chicken thighs three times and dividing them by two, not even letting go of the bones, biting and crunching, then grabbed his waist, took out a gourd, and drank a few sips of wine with a grunt.

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

"Mai, you are so afraid of the Eight Sages King, he said that he would not let you enter the city, so he really didn't dare to enter, and he had to use such means to come over. ”

"Wuji, you are still such a poisonous tongue, Xingjing is not good for Shinto, I just come in, ten percent of the means, and I will lose half, so why bother?" The old man with braided hair in the mist did not argue, just shook his head, and then turned his head to look at the tribute courtyard.

"However, this meeting is not trivial, but it should not be missed, and it should be seen here. (To be continued......)
