Xia Zihao is still the first candidate in the Jinluan Palace, his face is full of self, his own suggestions, but he takes out real money, and he will not be happy if he doesn't believe it.

An old eunuch stepped down the stone steps, accepted his scroll, and handed it to the Great Emperor Long on the throne of the Golden Luan Palace, who personally judged the scroll.

The emperor didn't have a good impression of Xia Zihao, and planned to remove Xia Zihao from the top three, but after reading Xia Zihao's strategy, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and his eyes lit up.

The wealthy families of the imperial capital have always been stingy, and they are all stingy when they encounter disasters.

This Xia Zihao is actually willing to take the initiative to donate, and thirty percent of the family's property is used for disaster relief, which is also commendable, enough to become an example for all the official eunuchs and wealthy families.

Taking out a large sum of real money is much more than those empty policies.

Since this Xia Zihao has this remorseful heart, it is not impossible to keep him in the top three in the big test.

"Qing has this thought, and has set an example for all the ministers and families, and the emperor is very pleased!" The Great Emperor nodded happily.

Xia Zihao was secretly happy, knowing that his ranking in the top three in the big test was secure, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" For His Majesty's worries, this is a matter within the minister's duty! ”

"However, just the donations of a dozen of you families may not be able to save this catastrophe."

"This emperor is thinking about raising donations from hundreds of families in the imperial capital and many wealthy families in the ten major cities to help the disaster."

"Your family has set an excellent example for all the families and wealthy families, and this emperor will entrust this important task to you, and you will persuade and raise donations from all the families."

"After the big test, you hang a title in the household department, just the household department, take care of this fundraising matter first, how much money has been donated by the major families in the country, write a list and submit it, and the emperor will reward all the donating families."

The Great Emperor looked at Xia Zihao and said.

Xia Zihao was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but cry bitterly in his heart.

In order to keep the ranking of the big test, he had to come up with the method of donating family wealth, but other families don't want to do anything, and they want to persuade the imperial capital and the major clans to pay for disaster relief, and it is definitely a drudgery to offend people.

But now at this juncture, he can't give up his efforts, so he can only promise to come down: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor finished approving Xia Zihao's essays, and then began to read the essays of other preparatory students.

A lot of prep students' essays are not very interesting, so they are put aside after a few glances.

The Emperor was quite satisfied with Rice's writings, at least much more capable than his sons who only fought for power or were idle.

"Rice, you have a good idea."

"This emperor ordered you to be the head of the military department and the household department, take the emperor's royal decree, and set off for Sanssouci City tomorrow, requisition all the large and medium-sized sea ships of the country, go to the coastal princely states, and try to buy as much grain as possible."

The emperor said with a smile: "In the year of the catastrophe, there is nothing wrong with having more food, as for the cost of purchasing food, it will be taken from the goods donated by more than ten preparatory families such as Xia Zihao." ”

In the front, Xia Zihao and more than ten other preparatory students donated a large amount of goods, and in the back, Les took this goods and took the sea ships to the coastal princely states to buy food.

He, the king, did a great thing with almost no money.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers will do their best!"

Les heard the praise in the Emperor's words and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Sanssouci City is the capital city in the northern part of the empire, and it is also the largest coastal city and sea port in the empire, which gathers a large number of sea ships of the Holy Empire, and only there can be mobilized enough sea ships to transport grain.

It is too troublesome to transport grain by land, there are too many checkpoints in various countries, and if the relationship between princely states is not good, maybe the grain will be seized directly, and the sea transportation is much more convenient and the volume is also large.

The Emperor put down Rice's essays, read the essays handed in by hundreds of preparatory students, and gave instructions respectively.

When you see a satisfactory essay, you will say a few words.

If you see a dissatisfaction with the policy, you can either just throw it aside and say nothing, or criticize a few words.

The palace test essay written by Roland was put last by the emperor.

After all the other preparatory students' essays were reviewed, they finally picked up Roland's palace test essays.

He was looking forward to what Roland would write in the palace examination essay.

Roland once saved his life and quelled the rebellion of the second prince in the Jinluan Palace.

In recent months, the reputation in the imperial capital is extremely high, and it is difficult for anyone to match, and yesterday he also won the first round of the big test, the first place in the civil and military examination, and was praised by countless people as the well-deserved first place in the big test.

But he was still curious whether Roland's palace test essay was stunning and shocking, or it was bland, similar to other preparatory students.

The Emperor took a deep breath and slowly opened the dossier written by Roland.

His gaze swept over the first line of writing, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Punish the wolf!"

These four eye-catching big characters are the name of Roland's dedication.

The Emperor's heart was shocked.

The name of the wolf king of the forest wolf tribe of the Star Mountain Range is none other than Wolf Tu.

Roland actually offered advice to kill the Timberwolf King Tu on the palace test strategy!

In the past few decades, he has been the first student to talk about the Timber Wolf Tribe of the Star Mountain Range in the palace test article.

As a preparatory student, Roland dared to talk extravagantly about killing the timberwolf king Tu... This is a little bit of a young man!

The Emperor was shocked, narrowed his eyes, and looked closely.

But the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

Unlike what he imagined, the content of this policy did not have the slightest youthful frivolity, but a complete plan to kill the Timberwolf King, and the paper was full of cold killing intent, which made him feel shocked and a little trembling.

Roland wants to kill the timberwolf king Tu, not casually, but a strategy with a certain success rate.

It took the emperor a long time to read it, and after a long time, he marked the four words "the head of the palace examination" on Roland's file, and the sentence "sealed, and no one is allowed to check it".

He didn't want a third person to see the detailed plan of this article.

Then he closed the file and put it on the table, his old face looked at the Jinluan Hall with an expressionless face, and the hundreds of preparatory students of this year's class.

At this time, there was a solemn silence in the main hall.

All the preparatory students looked at the Emperor and reviewed Roland's writings. They were scrutinizing the Emperor's face.

All the essays in the hall have been reviewed by the emperor, and only Roland's last essays remain.

If Roland's strategy is not too problematic, then he is the leader of this big test, but if there is a big problem with the strategy, then it is not impossible for the head of the big test to change hands.

The Emperor said lightly: "Roland, your wolf punishment strategy is very well written, but unfortunately, this emperor is afraid that he can't wait, what day will you implement this strategy!" ”

All he can do is let the next Holy Emperor help Roland complete his plan to kill the Timberwolf King.

As soon as these words came out, all the students in the hall were shocked.
