Zhu Houzhao bit the tip of his pen, and finished writing the previous arithmetic, but he was stumped by the last question.

"A large baked cake, the diameter of the outer circle is 30 centimeters, the thickness is 2 centimeters, the garlic flavor, ask how many square centimeters is the area of this baked cake?"

The person who asked the question is so cunning!

Use the thickness to confuse the main palace, and the garlic is fragrant?

Zhu Houzhao bit the ink pen.

What is the formula for the area of a circle?

remembered Song Jing's words: If Your Highness can't remember, remember this painting, a snake, a pair of chopsticks, a wooden stool, a tree branch, and a small bird flying above.

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed: "Master Xiao Song is worthy of the warriors of this palace." ”

Holding an ink pen and drawing on the manuscript paper, it is the area formula of the circle.

The calculation process is written on the test paper and put in writing.

Suddenly, a big hand took Zhu Houzhao's test paper away, crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the ground, Yang Tinghe was angry, and stepped on it again and again.

"Let you hurt people!"

"Let you hurt people!"

Zhu Houzhao looked confused.

It took half an hour, and dozens of hairs fell out before I finished writing the test papers, and you stepped on the test papers for this palace?

For the first time, Zhu Houzhao showed a murderous gaze.

"You don't need to care, the time to hand in the paper is coming, write your own test paper, don't look around!" Yan Chengjin drank.

Xie Yu cast an angry gaze at Yang Tinghe, and was worried that he couldn't think of the last question, and as soon as this person came, he became even more impatient.

The people in the distance were not affected, and they buried their heads in answers, and there was still a moment before handing in the papers.

Yang Tinghe bowed down and whispered: "Please return to the palace with Your Highness." ”

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was about to beat Yang Tinghe, Yan Chengjin hurriedly took a few steps forward: "Your Highness, the craftsmen and homeless people have been waiting for a long time to get this opportunity, Your Highness is making a big fuss here, their results will all be canceled, and they will return to the days of starvation, please Your Highness, put the people first!" ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes wandered, he snorted coldly, stood up angrily, and strode out of the examination room.

Yan Chengjin breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Houzhao still has a conscience, he knows the severity, he really makes a big fuss here, and no one can pass the test.

"Your Highness, wait for the ministers."

Yang Tinghe hurriedly caught up.

Yan Chengjin picked up the paper ball, Zhu Houzhao really figured out the topic.

Only one question was wrong: "Selling bamboo rats, one for three wen, three for ten, how many are for thirty?" ”

Zhu Houzhao replied: Nine, I want to return three dollars.

The correct answer should be nine.

The bell rang loudly, and the scribe collected the examination papers, sealed them and handed them to Song Jing, who corrected them by himself.

The exam is completed within one day, and the last subject is the Book of Rites.

Craftsmen and homeless people picked up pens and answered.

They write crookedly, like crawlers, but as long as they write clearly, pass the passing line, and reach the point of B, they can become engineers.

……

Down to the court,

Yang Tinghe paced in front of the moon cave at the noon gate, and when he saw Yan Chengjin, he greeted him, with a smile on his face: "Which... Which virtuous nephew is worth it? ”

Yan Chengjin strode over, anyway, he didn't call him.

Yang Tinghe was dumbfounded, stiffened in place, and watched Yan Chengjin walk past him.

Stamped his feet, gritted his teeth and chased after him, with a shy face: "Virtuous nephew, the old man just called you, why shouldn't you say anything?" ”

Yan Chengjin pointed to his nose, I ...... Virtuous nephew?

"A few days ago, the adults impeached the lower officials, and I thought it wasn't called the lower officials."

Yang Tinghe smiled awkwardly: "It's all for the court, don't mind the virtuous nephew, this official wants to ask the virtuous nephew for something, I don't know if the virtuous nephew is inconvenient......"

Take out a piece of mutton fat white jade from the cuff and put it on the texture.

Looking at this flowing posture, there must be no less bribes on weekdays.

Yan Chengjin's eyes lit up.

There is silver and gold in the treasury, but there are few excellent antique jade, the Ming gentry like to collect, not easy to sell, it is extremely difficult to acquire.

"Convenient."

With a swish, the white jade entered Yan Chengjin's hand.

Yang Tinghe sighed and said faintly: "Yesterday, I was impulsive and stepped on His Highness's scroll, His Highness fought with the official, and he also played tricks on the official, and the official is really ...... There's no way around it. ”

When he went to Zhan Shifu today, the books, teacups, and stools were full of cockroaches, dense, and he was about to go crazy.

"Lord Yan is also the prince's master, please persuade the prince." Yang Tinghe requested this.

The last way, please beg.

Shen'er has not yet responded, offending the prince, and the road will not be smooth in the future.

As a last resort, he didn't want to take this path, so he couldn't bear it.

"Xiaguan will go to the East Palace." Yan Chengjin accepted the jade.

After not coming to the East Palace for a long time, the eunuch guarding the door still recognized him, Yan Chengjin had just walked through the gate, and he heard a sound behind him:

"In the past, in our East Palace, there was a companion named Gu Dayong, who was this Lord Yan, who made him disappear."

"Hehe, new here, right? Before Gu Dayong, there was also a companion named Ma Yongcheng, and it was Lord Yan who made him disappear. ”

Yan Chengjin shook his head, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that these two eunuchs were not from Liu Jin's class.

Zhu Houzhao was lying on the couch, shaking his long legs proudly, "How can Lao Gao have time to come to the territory of the palace?" ”

"Can you let James-Yang go?"

"Master Yang stepped on the test paper of the main palace." Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "The answer that this palace racked his brains to write was thrown on the ground and stepped on it fiercely, how can he suppress this breath?" ”

"Master Yang is for the good of His Highness." Yan Chengjin is serious.

Zhu Houzhao stared at him suspiciously, and after a long time, he looked abrupt: "You betrayed the palace?" ”

The people who impeached Lao Gao have all been killed, and now Lao Gao has come to intercede for Master Yang, and he must have received benefits.

"Please don't tarnish the innocence of your ministers, Your Highness." Yan Chengjin straightened his waist and took out a piece of mutton fat white jade from his cuffs: "This is the high-grade white jade sent by Yang Zhanshi to his ministers, half of one person." ”

…… This palace still thinks that you are really an innocent person.

Zhu Houzhao showed a little smile, took the white jade and played with it, and said happily: "This white jade Kui Longpei is in Liangxiang, and it costs three hundred taels to say the least." ”

"How about His Highness letting Yang James go?"

"Master Yang is embarrassed by this palace, it's good to leave Zhan Shifu, this palace treats you as a brother, don't persuade this palace." Zhu Houzhao got serious.

Yan Chengjin pondered for a moment and said, "The minister has found the sixth warrior." ”

Zhu Houzhao blinked: "Who?" ”

"Yang Tinghe's son, Yang Shen."

Zhu Houzhao and Yang Shen played well, but he didn't know that he was Yang Tinghe's son, and he didn't believe it when he heard Yan Chengjin say this.

"Your Highness still remembers the words in the library? Within 20 years, Yang Shen will be able to come out. ”

"Okay, for Yang Shen's sake, this palace won't embarrass him."

……

Liangxiang's science exam has been released.

On the wall outside the shipyard, the red list of the exams is posted, and the homeless people and craftsmen are three layers inside and outside, and the water is impassable.

A new system was born, and they could become engineers and be the head of the shipyard after being admitted, which made them feel unreal.

From the top to the bottom of the list, there are only six names.

Top

Xie Pi

2nd place

Zhao Jin

3rd place

Yang Zhong

Fourth place

Fang Xing

……

In the crowd, many people sighed secretly, thousands of people took the exam, and only six engineers were admitted, which was less than the number of scholars in the imperial examination.

You can imagine how hard it is.

I can't help but envy these people, three taels of silver a month.

Xie Yu shook his head, there was no name among the six people, he did a good job in arithmetic, it was useless, and the total score would not add up.

Some people knelt in front of the red list and cried, and they could only take the exam again next time.

"Those who take the high school entrance examination can move into Zhongguancun and follow them to do science studies in the future."

Xie Pi revered in his heart, this is the little Song master who made the Song Astronomical Telescope and Weiyuan Firearms?
