Chapter 307: The Exam Begins
If there is a drought, then the solution is definitely not to build the Great Wall and build earth forts, but to build water transportation for irrigation, divert seawater into the river, then divert river water into the river, and finally divert river water into the river for irrigation.
This is Nongli.
Before the great dams of the modern world, artificial rainfall was a key issue that had to be considered in ancient times.
The starting point of Fang Zhengzhi is also on water conservancy and farming.
However, if you don't understand history, then you don't know where events have happened, and you don't know where water conservancy construction has taken place.
The main thing is geography.
Where is the sea, where is the river, where is the river, where is the lake...... Where there is abundant water, where the drought is growing, I don't know what to do?
To put it bluntly, this thing is actually similar to the papers of the previous world, and there are no examples to prove a thesis, so how can it be argued?
A drop of cold sweat dripped from Fang's straight forehead.
Do you want to fall off the list?
When he thought like this, the sound of a golden gong finally sounded, and immediately after, I saw a row of imperial envoys of the Imperial Academy wearing black official uniforms with a royal character printed on them coming from a distance.
The first person looks a little younger, and the four-grade court dress is Su Qing.
Today, Su Qing looked ruddy, and he still held a book of the names of the candidates who participated in the palace examination in his hand, and led a group of imperial envoys to the front of all the talents.
All the talented people stopped talking at this time, and they were all quietly waiting for Su Qingxun to speak.
It is said to be a lecture, but in fact, it is to talk about the rules of admission before the temple examination, as well as the history of the temple examination and the discipline during the temple examination.
"The founding ...... of the Great Xia Dynasty" After Su Qing walked in front of the talents, he didn't talk much nonsense, and started talking directly, and after he finished talking about all the rules of the exam. Su Qing also looked at the hour: "The auspicious time is near, the hall is trying to enter!"
"Thank you, Lord Imperial Envoy!" All the talented people bowed down one by one to thank him.
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi will not bow stupidly like these people, he is an adult, and he still uses thanks? The same rank of the fourth rank is to be so capricious.
Like Fang Zheng, there are not a few people who don't bow down, there are about a dozen or so people. Among them were Yan Xiuhuan and Wu Feng and others.
In this way, at least a dozen of the people who participated in the palace examination were hereditary titles.
Of course, Founder is not included.
The time for admission to the palace examination has arrived, and all the talented people have accepted another identity verification, after all, the examination room for the palace examination is in the palace, and the saint is there in person, so it is not too much to verify it twice.
Unlike the identity verification when entering the palace gate, this time the information of the envoys will be verified. The main thing is to ask about the experience, and finally, it is a blood test.
It is estimated that it is also because of the incident in the Holy Heaven World during the last pilgrimage.
Fang Zhengzhi had seen this kind of blood test method in Nanshan Village when he was six years old, but it was not too surprising, this blood test was mainly to test whether there was a demon invasion, and did not test the bloodline, so it was carried out faster than the one in Nanshan Village.
In a short time, all the candidates who took the temple examination were completed.
Next. It is the official entrance, which is led by the envoys of the Imperial Academy. Take the candidates to the White Jade Square at the main entrance of the Golden Luang Palace.
Fang Zhengzhi was a little curious at this time.
Because, he knew that Nangong Hao seemed to be going to participate in this palace test, but judging from the reactions of everyone present, it felt like Nangong Hao's existence was completely there.
"Is this Nangong Hao's sense of existence so low?" Fang Zhengzhi didn't ask much, because. He remembered that Nangong Mu's sense of presence was quite low during the exam.
I don't know how Nangong Mu is now?
Fang Zheng's straight eyes looked south, he didn't know if it was the location of the Nangong family, but he unconsciously looked in that direction.
......
Soon, under the leadership of the envoys of the Imperial Academy, all the talented people also arrived at the gate of Baiyu Square. Two rows of guards in gold armor flanked the doorway.
It looks extremely solemn.
Fang Zhengzhi had been to the palace before, of course he knew that the guards in the palace had always been strict, it could be said that there was a post in ten steps and a sentry in a hundred steps, but there were obviously more guards today than usual.
Stepping through the gate of the White Jade Square, the front of him also opened up.
White Jade Square, as the name suggests, all the ground is completely paved with white jade, surrounded by white jade fences, carved dragons and phoenixes, fine and extraordinary.
Today, in the very center of the White Jade Square, there is a golden platform, which is paved with gold silk satin, and a huge dragon umbrella is erected on the high platform, blocking the rising sun falling from the sky.
Under the high platform, a field is paved with red silk, and on the field, there are almost more than 200 mahogany bookcases, each of which is separated by a distance of at least three or four meters wide.
All right......
An open field of vision, so far apart.
Fang Zhengzhi was almost certain that it was definitely more difficult to cheat under the nose of the Son of Heaven than to ascend to the sky, not to mention that there were still twenty or thirty imperial envoys standing at the edge of the field.
"Let's go. Yan Xiu looked at the venue in front of him and spoke.
"Hmm. Fang Zheng nodded straightly.
And the other talents also walked towards those mahogany bookcases at this moment, unlike the previous exams, this time, everyone sat forward in unison.
It feels like sitting in front of you and eating.
Fang Zheng's eyes casually glanced at the mahogany bookcases that were placed, and soon found two good positions, facing the dragon's mouth in front of the door of the Jinluan Palace, and the view was wide, which could be described as the best position.
Since he has no confidence in strategy, Fang Zhengzhi also rarely talks about feng shui this time, hoping to be able to transfer and have good luck.
As soon as he was about to pass, he saw a fat man who was almost slaughtered running towards one of the two positions, like a pig, at a very fast speed.
"Grab the position?" Fang Zhengzhi came unprepared today, and his heart was almost fifteen buckets of water, seven up and eight down, if the position he fancied was still robbed, this omen was not ideal.
As soon as the hand was raised, a nail flew out.
"Ouch...... Why are there nails in this seat?" the fat man's ass just sat down. Immediately it bounced like a ball.
The other candidates were taken aback by the fat man's behavior, and they all looked back at their chairs, thinking that this was a test of the palace examination.
However......
There are no nails in their chairs.
"It's a good start, it's a good head!" Fang Zhengzhi was very satisfied with the effect of the fat man's butt after sitting down, walked to the chair leisurely, and retracted the nails into his arms. Then, sit down slowly.
"Fang Zhengzhi, what are you doing?" the fat man was obviously a little unconvinced.
"I didn't do anything, I was just bullying you, do you have any opinions?" Fang Zhengzhi has always been very straightforward.
"You...... Do you dare to bully Ben Gongzi? Do you know who Ben Gongzi is? This Gongzi is Nanjun ......" When the fat man heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, he immediately became angry, and patted his chest vigorously as he spoke.
"Want to fight?" Fang Zhengzhi didn't bother to wait for the fat man to finish speaking, and asked directly.
"Yes!"
"Report, he wants to hit me!"
"What are you doing? It's noisy, be careful of disqualifying you!" An envoy saw this scene and immediately walked over.
The fat man's head shrank, and his aura weakened suddenly, and he immediately shook his head at the envoy and signaled that he would never do anything, and when the envoy left, the fat man glanced at Fang Zhengzhi with hatred.
"Hmph, Fang Zheng. You wait for me!"
"What, want to fight?" Yan Xiu walked to Fang Zheng's side at this time. The mountain and river fan in his hand shook gently, and he glanced at the fat man indifferently.
"No...... Can't. The fat man's face changed, and he immediately walked away.
The other talents watched this scene, and they all sat aside one after another, and no one stepped forward to deliberately provoke Fang Zheng.
In this way, Fang Zhengzhi fell into silence. Leaned back in the chair, leaned back again, and chose a very comfortable position to close your eyes and recuperate.
"Work?"
"Water conservancy?"
Fang Zhengzhi's mind vigorously recalled the articles he had learned in his previous life, Dayu to control the water? So, how about Sun Wukong making trouble in the East China Sea Dragon Palace?
All right......
It's a bit off-topic.
Otherwise, there will be a poem of compassion for the peasants? On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops of grass and soil or something.
Alas!
Fang Zhengzhi felt that his brain was a little messy, and he couldn't find any classic strategies for drought control after thinking about it, so he simply didn't want to think about it.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a golden gong sounded again.
All the candidates immediately sat up right one by one, one gong is the entrance gong, and the other two gongs are the holy driving gong, which means that the saint is coming.
Sure enough, after the gong sounded, a voice rang out.
"The emperor has arrived!"
"The emperor has arrived!"
The sound came from far and near, and soon a huge sedan chair appeared not far away, completely made of gold, and several golden dragons were carved on it, and on the body of the golden dragon were carved with complex cloud patterns.
"This cloud pattern ......" Fang Zheng's eyes lit up slightly, this was the first time he saw the dragon sedan chair of the saint Lin Mubai, but it was the third time he saw this kind of cloud pattern, the first time was in the Canghai Realm on Cangling Mountain, and the second time was on the jade flute of Wu Feng.
Three times?
This is no coincidence.
Fang Zhengzhi felt that this kind of cloud pattern must have some special significance, there was something related to the Heavenly Dao Holy Monument in the Canghai Realm, and Wu Feng's master heard that it was one of the four saints.
As for the saint Lin Mubai......
There is also a saint in the name.
The name of this thing should be called the Holy Tattoo!
Okay, guessing randomly, Fang Zhengzhi felt that it should be faster to ask Yan Xiu directly after the article was tried, this kind of random guess was really unnecessary.
The sedan chair arrived under the high platform of Baiyu Square, and the sedan door was gently opened, and then, Lin Mubai, who was wearing a golden dragon robe, also slowly walked out of the sedan chair.
At this time, Fang Zhengzhi also noticed that there was a young man standing next to Lin Mubai's sedan chair, dressed in white, but what was very strange was that there was some bright red under the white clothes.
Those bright red like blood, but the shape is very special, they are all pentagonal, and they don't look like blood stains but like maple leaves.
"Nangong Hao!"
"I didn't expect him to be in the palace a long time ago!"
"I'm still walking with the Holy One!"
The talented people also noticed the young man at this moment, and after seeing the young man's appearance clearly, the talented people who were originally behind the bookcase finally couldn't help but talk about it.
"Nangong Hao?" Fang Zhengzhi's eyes once again noticed the body of the young man in white, and he found that compared to Nangong Mu, Nangong Hao's appearance was obviously completely different.
If Nangong Mu gives people the feeling of being bland, standing in the crowd like a piece of wood, then Nangong Hao gives people the feeling of brightness.
This brightness is not the kind of brilliant brilliance of the sun, moon and stars, but the brightness from the inside to the outside.
Or to put it in a more precise word.
Light!
With sword-like eyebrows, dark eyes, thin lips, and not much expression on his face, there is always a feeling of being faintly detached from the world.
Saint Lin Mubai had already walked out of the sedan chair at this time, and seemed to have noticed the discussion of the talents below, looked at Nangong Hao beside him, and nodded lightly.
Nangong Hao returned the salute.
However, this gift is not a courtesy of monarchs and ministers, but a courtesy for juniors to treat their elders, and after returning the salute, Nangong Hao also walked to the mahogany book case below.
Sit down.
He didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Shengshang Lin Mubai looked at Nangong Hao, and also didn't say anything, just walked lightly onto the high platform, and then slowly sat on the dragon chair on the high platform.
And at this time, the civil and military officials who followed behind the sedan chair also came over one after another, headed by Zuo Xiangyu Yiping, and lined up on the left and right sides of the high platform.
All the talented people held their breath.
The biennial Taoist examination, today's palace examination is the key to the ultimate success or failure, and many people choose to enter the office after passing the court examination.
However, in this way, the preparation for the temple examination is not sufficient.
Of the two hundred candidates, there are not many people who really enter the ranks, some because there are no official vacancies, and some because of the yearning for the palace examination.
People who read books, who do not want to go to the highest position.
Temple Examination.
It is this last mountain, as long as you climb this mountain, there is an endless open land in front of you, and all the hopes of two years are gambled on this last moment.
How not to make people feel nervous?
What kind of questions will be presented in this temple trial theory? This is the question that everyone is most concerned about, because this question also represents whether their hardships in the past two years have been in vain.
Betting on the question and not on the middle question.
The difference between these two can be said to be the difference between heaven and earth.
"Boom!"
The third golden gong sounded at this time, which also means that the literary examination of the palace examination has officially begun, and all the answers are about to be revealed immediately.
All the candidates were extremely quiet at this moment, and everyone's eyes looked at the Holy Lord Lin Mubai on the dragon chair, waiting for him to speak. (To be continued.) )
