Yan Chengjin guessed that Wang Shouren and Fu Nansnake met.

It's just that the capital and Hainan are too far away, and for a while, the news can't reach the capital.

"Lao Gao, Liangxiang's science exam is going to start again, right?" Zhu Houzhao asked happily.

"Your Highness wants to participate again?" Yan Chengjin warned slightly: "Forgot to be caught by Master Yang in the examination room last time?" Your Highness, don't make trouble.

This examination is related to the number of places for many people to take the imperial examination. ”

Autumn is approaching, and among the engineers in Liangxiang, only Xie Pi can participate.

Before Xie Pi entered the science of Liangxiang, he had passed the small three yuan exam and could take the township exam.

And the other children of Xu officials have to start the exam from the county school.

But the fact that you can participate in the imperial examination by becoming an engineer in Liangxiang has spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and the children of those scholars in the world have come to Liangxiang to study.

"I heard that Zhang Xian went to Jingxiang and there was no one to invigilate, so let this palace be the examiner, right? Hongu has never been an examiner. Zhu Houzhao danced with his hands.

"The minister doesn't know anything."

Zhu Houzhao had an idea, and when Lao Gao said this, he acquiesced.

Yan Chengjin hurried back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he came out with a set of exam questions, and then Song Jing came out with another set of exam questions.

The test paper was handed over to Wang Busui for printing.

On June 20, the 14th year of Hongzhi, there was a tense atmosphere in Liangxiang before the exam, and many children of Xu officials came to Liangxiang early in the morning with bamboo boxes on their backs.

Just to compete for a place to participate in the imperial examination.

Now that the examination has finally begun, the children of the officials cried with joy, his ancestors were all scribes, could read and write, and were quite talented, but they could not participate in the imperial examination.

All of them are full of confidence, and they have more advantages than the children of the homeless.

"Brother Feng An has studied well, please take care of it."

"This time there will be a place for science students, and there will be one Brother Feng An."

Several children of Xu officials are very respectful of one person, this person is Feng An, he is from Yuyao, Zhejiang, and came to Liangxiang half a year ago.

I didn't get admitted last time, but this time I closed the door and studied in the grass house for a few months, and I have made great progress.

Some people are to participate in the imperial examination, and some people are to become engineers, and the three taels of silver issued by the Liangxiang Township Workshop every month are issued.

Song Jing has become a legend in Liangxiang.

received 100 taels of silver every month, and became a model for all the ordinary people in Liangxiang.

Even the children of the gentry of Liangxiang coveted Song Jing's salary and wanted to be an engineer in Liangxiang.

"Master Song, is it difficult to test questions this time?" Xie Yu smiled a little awkwardly.

He failed the list last time, failed the exam, and missed the engineer's monthly salary, and was extremely unwilling.

"President Xie." Song Jing bowed slightly: "This is an adult's question, and I don't know the depth." ”

The bell rang and the candidates began to search for admission.

The officials stood in all corners of the examination room, back to back, as they had done last time, supervising the candidates.

After the candidates were done, Zhu Houzhao happily held the test papers and walked into the examination room.

"Ben...... The first time this engineer was invigilated, you cheated casually. ”

There was an uproar in the audience.

Song Jing was full of black lines in his head, and secretly reminded on the side: "No, Your Highness, you can't cheat!" ”

Zhu Houzhao realized that something was wrong, his eyes moved, and he hurriedly corrected: "Don't make noise, you can't cheat, hum!" Hongu is just a test, but you really took out the book? That, and that! Yes, that's right, it's you, someone, drag this engineer out! ”

The people who took out the books were stunned.

This guy is definitely a master of cheating, otherwise he would have used such clever means to lure us and others.

Song Jing secretly admired that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so smart that he caught several fish that slipped through the net.

Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Quick, send the test paper down." ”

The officials distributed the test papers, Xie Yu looked at Zhu Houzhao and felt a little strange, Xiao Zhu Xiucai obviously didn't get admitted to the engineer, how could he become an engineer.

Does this exam count as a test?

"Let's answer the question first, I will definitely be able to pass the exam this time." Xie Yu is proficient in arithmetic and writes math papers.

The only thing that stumped him was chemistry.

It's a fledgling discipline that often gets a lot of attention.

Zhu Houzhao sat proudly on the high platform in the spring breeze, and it was rare to have such an opportunity to be an examiner.

Everything in the audience can be seen clearly.

"The sixteenth candidate in the first row, drag it out."

"Spare my life, I didn't cheat!"

"The sixth candidate in row C, drag it out."

"Rao...... Spare your life. ”

These guys, obviously cheating, still dare to quibble, it's really shameless.

Bengong has been cheating professionally for seven years, and his best results can be concealed from Li Dongyang, a scholar of the current dynasty, and he even dared to play a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

Zhu Houzhao felt insulted.

"Master Song, sure enough, I found a note." Officials report.

Yan Chengjin instructed that Song Jing was responsible for everything in the examination room.

Therefore, the official came to report to Song Jingyu.

Song Jing was slightly startled, thinking that Zhu Houzhao was a prank, but he didn't expect it to be cheating.

"Don't be too surprised, when Hongu cheated, he was still a child."

The implication is that Hongu started cheating at the age of four.

Under Zhu Houzhao's crazy arrest, no one dared to make small moves, and they all wrote the papers honestly.

Beijing, Yanfu.

Yan Chengjin took out two catties of wolfberries and gave them to Wang Ji: "This is the official's beloved thing, given to Brother Wang, and I hope that when there is trouble in the future, Brother Wang will help." ”

"Thank you, your lord!"

Wang Ji was slightly moved, since he failed in the imperial examination, he followed his father to study medicine, traveled south and north, and rarely had friendship with people.

It is the first time that he has such a deep friendship with Yan Chengjin.

"Let's go, send off Lord Wang."

Yan Chengjin instructed He Neng to send Wang Ji out of the city.

I'm ready to get up and go to Liangxiang to have a look, today is the exam for science in Liangxiang.

……

Hainan

Wang Shouren had barracks built overnight, all over the open spaces in the camp.

He also ordered the soldiers of the Tuntian battalion, like those in the army, to patrol back and forth in the barracks.

"Lord Wang, I caught a Li spy outside the barracks."

"Let him go." Wang Shouren said: "The official's intention is to let him go back to report the news. ”

Then he went to the cornfield to see what was different in the soil.

The soil in Beijing can only be planted once a year, and the soil in Hainan can be planted three times a year, which is really amazing.

Xu Jinzhong saw that he was not only not slow, but he felt anxious, "Master Sect Head, if you go on like this, you will be seen through sooner or later."

How can we break the game? ”

Wang Shouren squatted on the ground and spit out a word: "Wait." ”

"Wait? What are you waiting for? ”

"Wait for the old brother to see the official's letter."

If Wang Shouren wants to use troops, he must get orders from the military department, and Xu Jinzhong also understands this truth, but the capital is separated from Hainan by sea and mountains......

It will take at least more than a month to take a boat from Tianjin.

"Leader, I'm afraid I'll ...... in two months"

"You don't have to wait for two months, as long as you estimate that the old brother sees the letter, we can start the army."

Xu Jinzhong is a little confused, can he transfer troops before the will comes?

Wang Shouren continued: "No, but, this official and the old brother have an agreement. ”

No matter how Xu Jinzhong and Li Kang asked, Wang Shouren just didn't say anything, squatting on the ground to look at the black soil, and squatting for a long time.

"My lord, the student has found the Fu Nan Snake." Haihan hurriedly ran into the barracks.

A month ago, Xu Jinzhong sent Haihan to find the whereabouts of Fu Nansnake, he was a Hui person, he could be regarded as a toast, and it was not easy to be discovered.

"Where?" Wang Shouren, who had been silent for a long time, finally stood up.

"Qifangtong in Danzhou."

Wang Shouren didn't bring anything, so he rode on his horse and said, "Take me to see it." ”

Dare to break into the enemy village of 100,000 people single-handedly?

"Ben Qianhu will also go." Xu Jinzhong is very righteous.

"No, thousands of households are still needed to guard the camp in the past few days, don't let the Li people find out."
