Just when these candidates looked at each other and looked at the blank paper at a loss, they saw a man with a long beard and a slender body, walking in front of the kneeling crowd and saying: "The thing in front of you is the thing that His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor has recently created, and it is called paper, and you can answer it with a pen."

Hearing this, the people present knew what was in front of them.

However, without waiting for these candidates to feel more, nine officials also came forward, all of them holding more than ten paper manuscripts, and ten of them distributed exam questions to the hundreds of candidates present.

Of course, the nine chapters of the Han law are naturally incomparable with the modern legal regulations, but they are still extremely applicable in the Han family before the Western Yuan Dynasty, and it is also the crystallization of many famous legalists and scholars in the pre-Qin period.

However, under Liu Rong's instructions, everyone's exam questions are different, that is, to really test the hundreds of candidates who have passed the preliminary examination, how to understand the Chinese law, and to select some practical talents.

Liu Rong is most disgusted, is the mouth cannon party, the mouth cannon party let him go into battle to kill the enemy, let him govern the country and the country, and offer good strategies for the court of the Son of Heaven, then it is even more unacceptable, his greatest ability is Kan, and he will raise the banner of the emperor at every turn, and "die" the Son of Heaven.

I don't know that I think it's a country warrior who is worried about the Han family, but its essence is completely grandstanding.

In this regard, in Liu Rong's view, the mouth cannon party is simply a stumbling block to prevent the development of the Han family.

If Liu Rong knew that there were mouthpieces among the candidates present, it would not be feasible to say more, no matter how good his results were.

"You can wait for the questions on the paper, and when you hear the bell ringing, there is an hour to answer them."

Hearing this, the candidates present no longer cared about studying what this paper was, and focused their attention on this exam question.

However, Sima Xiangru and Yan Yi received the exam questions, one of which was the law of thieves in the nine chapters of the Han law, and the other was the law of thieves.

As the name suggests, the law of theft is the law that punishes theft, but the law of thieves is not the meaning of thieves, but the punishment of the sin of those who hurt others.

In other words, it is the characterization of intentional harm in the Han Dynasty.

Looking at the exam questions in his hand, Yan Yi read in a low voice: "The fire is burning, and it should be a shield; Its Yi Bangmen, a ..................

However, this is not a difficult thing for the two of them, Sima Xiangru only took more than half an hour to answer all this, and glanced at the people next to him, especially the person who scratched his ears and cheeks on the side, which made Sima Xiangru even more disdainful in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "Such a simple exam question, but it takes so long to answer, it seems that the person who took the exam with me is just like this."

Seeing Sima Xiangru stop writing, the examiner immediately stepped forward and said, "Why don't you answer?" ”。

"I've already answered it."

Seeing that the person in front of him was so arrogant, the examiner was also very disgusted, "Such a frivolous person will definitely not be able to answer any good questions."

But he still said: "Now that you have finished answering, you will give it to me!" ”。

After receiving the paper manuscript handed over by Sima Xiangru, the examiner did not look at it, even if it was rolled up, put it in a wooden box, and then sealed it with fire paint, and then took out the wooden card that was handed over to Sima Xiangru, put it into this wooden box, and finally sealed it with fire paint and put it aside.

After a long time, the bell of the right person was heard, and all the people present stopped their pens and handed over the manuscripts one by one.

When he arrived outside the examination room, Yan Yi asked, "I don't know how Brother Sima answered?" ”。

Sima Xiangru laughed and said: "With such an exam question, how can it be difficult for me to get it, and I think it is even more so for Brother Yan."

In this way, both of them looked at each other and smiled, and left. ………………………………………………………………………………

However, Liu Rong did not let Jia Yi and Chao mistake the two of them and judge them equally, but asked the two of them to review them, and Liu Rong finally decided by himself.

That night, Liu Rong ordered Wang Sheng to put all these exam papers on the bookcase and look at them carefully.

No matter how you say this, it is also to select talents for yourself, how can you not personally check it, of course, whether these people can pass the imperial examination or not, it depends on their own personal meeting.

However, it is also good to look at the strategy of his writing, and after reading a few volumes, Liu Rong feels that one person writes well.

However, looking at its signature, Sima is similar.

Doing a imperial examination by himself, I didn't expect that even this person was attracted, but although Sima Xiangru is a scumbag, he is still very talented.

And it is not only able to do resignation, but also some other skills, Liu Yu Jianyuan six years, Sima Xiangru is still next to Liu Yu as a Lang official, but just when Tang Meng was ordered to plunder and open Yelang and its west of the servants, the levy of Ba, Shu two counties of officials and soldiers of thousands of people, and the West County for Tang Meng to recruit more than 10,000 land and water transport personnel. Tang Meng used wartime laws and regulations to kill people and establish his authority, and the people of Ba and Shu were shocked and frightened.

After Liu Yu heard this situation, he was very annoyed, and he was afraid that before Bashu was pacified, the people of Bashu would rise up and attack it, and in this way, the Han family's work of several years would be in vain.

In this way, Liu Yu sent Sima Xiangru to reproach Tang Meng, and took the opportunity to inform the people of Ba and Shu that what Tang Meng did was not the original intention of the Son of Heaven of the Han family.

Sima Xiangru came there at his fingertips, wrote a secret announcement, and adopted the means of both grace and power, which received good results and made Bashu quickly settle down.

However, after completing his mission, he returned to Beijing to report to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Tang Meng had already plundered and opened Yelang, and took the opportunity to open the road to Southwest Yi, and recruited soldiers from Ba, Shu, and Guanghan, and tens of thousands of people participated in the construction of the road.

However, after two years of building the road, the road has not been completed, but the soldiers have died a lot, and it costs money, so that Bashu, which has finally been calmed down, is once again turbulent.

At this time, the patriarchs of the Qiong and Di tribes, after hearing that Nanyi had already interacted with the Han Dynasty, asked the Han Dynasty to appoint them to official positions.

Seeing that Sima Xiangru had this miraculous effect when he went to Bashu, Liu Yu appointed Xiangru as the general of Zhonglang and ordered the envoy to be envoy. Gather in the southwest. Xiangru and others arrived in Shu County, and the Shu people were proud to welcome Xiangru. Sima Xiangru pacified the Southwest Yi. The tribes of Qiong, Di, Ran, Lu, and Siyu all asked to become courtiers of the Han Dynasty.

In this way, the old pass was demolished, the border pass of the Han family was expanded, the Lingguan Road was opened, and a bridge was built on the Sun Water to lead directly to Qiong and Zhen. Sima Xiangru returned to Beijing and reported to Liu Yu, who was naturally overjoyed.

If you don't waste a soldier or a soldier, you can have this effect with just one article, so that whoever knows it will also feel emotional.

…………………………………………………………………………

Immediately, Liu Rong put Sima Xiangru's text aside.

Then he began to review the essays of the rest of the people, and among them, Liu Rong also saw a few essays that still had some talents.

From it, I saw the text of Cao Zheng, the second son of Pingyang Hou Cao Qi.

However, this Cao Zheng is not too indiscriminate, and the articles he writes can be regarded as the upper middle level among the candidates who took these examinations.

Daddy's favorite minister, for the Marquis of Pingyang, the Marquis of Wanhu, took the initiative to show goodwill, Liu Rong still has to give some face.

Liu Rong smiled bitterly and muttered to himself, "Pingyang Hou's face can't be left unwanted."

In the end, I selected the ten people I thought were the most suitable.

But this time, there was no more examination list in Chang'an, but Liu Rong personally wrote ten letters, and set a ten-day meeting in a mansion in Chang'an.

To receive a letter from His Royal Highness the Prince personally invited, these ten people were all excited.

Especially ordinary people, when they received this letter, they only felt like a dream, and where the heavenly family could be easily accessed by ordinary people.

However, Sima Xiangru and Yan Yi, who were talking freely together, heard that someone outside Liu She was looking for him, and it should be someone in the palace, and the two were so excited that they ran to the door of the wine house without even wearing shoes.

"But are Sima Xiangru and Yan Yi two gentlemen?" , the squire asked.

The two of them immediately arched their hands and said, "Exactly, exactly!" ”。

Hearing this, the attendant nodded and took out two volumes of letters from his bosom and handed them to the two of them, "Binai is what His Highness ordered me to hand over to the two gentlemen."

The two of them immediately stretched out their hands and took the many letters from the attendant.

When they returned to the room, the two of them were silent, and after looking at each other and smiling, they opened the letter and read it.

When they saw what the letter said, the two were even more excited.

Yan Yi said with emotion: "It's not in vain that I have traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an ......."

In this way, the examination came to an end, and only a few days later, Liu Rong saw it in person.

…………………………………………………………………………

However, after this imperial examination, paper, for some reason, suddenly became all the rage in Chang'an City.

However, this is naturally done intentionally by Liu Rong, of course, those who have participated in the examination, as early as after leaving, also told the people next to him that the sacred object they saw in the examination - paper.

However, as early as after Liu Rong got his father's consent, especially after discussing with Shaofu Zhang Gong, Zhang Gong mobilized the rest of the workshops in the suburbs of Chang'an, as well as craftsmen and Liu Rong.

Liu Rong also knew that it was impossible for this paper-making technique not to be passed on for a long time, so he could make a lot of money at this time.

In this way, he played to his father again, and transferred hundreds of soldiers from the Southern Army to guard the paper-making workshop.

With more craftsmen making their own workshops, it is natural that a lot of paper is made every day, and 6,000 pieces of paper can be obtained in one day.

Then Liu Rong tried to take out some paper and put it in the market, but within a few days, its price flew to the sky.

Its price, compared to the silk is not too much, ordinary people, naturally it is impossible to buy, but it is useless to buy. The people who bought it were all those ministers.
