Tang Jie saw that the crowd had calmed down, and forced the anger in his heart to return to the Gongyuan, it was almost impossible to find the person who took the lead in making trouble for such a thing, so he had to let people stare at the outside of the Gongyuan.

Yang Zheng didn't know that he still had so many twists and turns in this Huiyuan, although Fu'er's news was only half an hour ahead of the people sent by the Yang Mansion, Yang Zheng was still very moved, but he didn't know what kind of high-ranking officials her family was, and even this kind of top-secret news could be known in advance.

When people are moved, they are easy to get hot-headed, when Fu'er said that he wanted to eat Buddha jumping over the wall, he agreed with a hot head, in addition to the cooking methods of the Great Song Dynasty, there are not as many cooking methods as in later generations, in fact, it is not much worse than later generations, Yang Zheng only occasionally makes some simple dishes in later generations to taste by himself.

Once he was bored, and talked to Fukang about various dishes in later generations, he talked about the eight major cuisines, but Fukang only remembered a Buddha jumping over the wall, and he knew how much he was capable of, not to mention those materials, even if he put the recipe in front of him, he might not necessarily make it.

As soon as the husband said his word, the horse was difficult to chase, Yang Zheng kept cheering himself up, asking people to buy ingredients at the market, and he made preparations at home.

The authentic Buddha jumping over the wall is definitely no fun, Yang Zheng is doing a simplified version of the Buddha jumping over the wall, anyway, only he knows what the Buddha jumping over the wall looks like.

Just when Yang was tossing the Buddha and jumping over the wall at home, a lime chant he tried was once again spread all over Shilin, different from Zhongju people, although he is still a tribute now, but the weight of Huiyuan is too heavy, plus he worshiped two great Confucians as teachers, Shilin's resistance to him has been reduced a lot.

A gust of spring breeze blew through the Kaifeng Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty, and then slowly spread to the world.

People's hearts are always changeable, when Yang Zheng was still a nerd, the students looked at Yang Zheng with a downward gaze: "You see which spineless one went to climb the high branches of the royal family and lost the face of the scholar!" ”

Now everyone said: "Do you know that Huiyuan of Jinke has become a colt, and he can still write such strange texts as Ailian's saying and Lime Yin, which is really a model for my generation." ”

Seventeen-year-old Huiyuan has become an existence that most people look up to.

The two families sent by Cao Min are no longer enough, and Yang Zheng urgently needs a housekeeper now, a housekeeper who can distinguish which invitations need to be given to Yang Zheng and which ones can be thrown directly into the trash.

Since the provincial trial list was released, Yang Zheng suddenly became very popular in Shilin, and all kinds of poetry invitations were sent into Yang's mansion like snowflakes.

In addition to the invitation, there are also people who come to Yang Mansion to visit him directly, ushering in the send-off, which requires sleek communication skills, but Lao Zhang's craftsmanship has nothing to say, and his communication skills are average, and it is too difficult for him to let a master craftsman be an official.

The housekeeper is difficult to find, and a housekeeper who can be trusted and capable is even more difficult to find, Yang Zheng had to temporarily let Lao Zhang Jiang stay, Xiyuan closed the door to thank the guests, and the housekeeper can also be found slowly, the most important thing for him at present is to finish reading the basic books listed by the two teachers.

The provincial test will be yuan, which was unexpected by Yang Zheng, and it is also unexpected by everyone, and he has no expectations for the palace test.

In everyone's hearts, it was already a fluke that he was able to win Huiyuan, and the first three and second classics in the palace examination had no chance with him, and the officials and hundreds of officials would not let this happen.

Even his future life has been arranged, the horse must have the appearance of a horse, just be a rich idler quietly, there is no position for a horse in the court, the identity of a jinshi is to give another job, as the emperor's son-in-law, no one will object.

He brushed his presence in the literati circle, and everyone liked to see it, after all, Ai Lian said that everyone liked such articles, and they were willing to invite him to the poetry club to discuss knowledge together.

Dugu Xun and Jia Siquan completely cultivated Yang Zheng as a closed disciple, and it was best not to go to the court to mess around, and to carry forward their learning.

There are also some people who feel that his talent is wasted, but in the past hundred years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been too many amazing and brilliant people, not inferior to Yang Zheng.

No matter how much the outside world talked about Yang Zheng, in early April, the palace examination was still held in the Chongzheng Hall as scheduled.

This is the first time Yang Zheng has seen Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen sitting on the dragon chair is thin and gentle, if it weren't for the bright yellow dragon robe on his body, there would not be much difference from the uncle next door.

Zhao Zhen also looked at Yang Zheng with some surprise at this time, although his face was still a little immature, he already had a calm appearance, and his handsome appearance was set off by the moon-white Confucian shirt, which was even more warm as jade, how could he look a little nerd.

More than 200 people, each with a small case, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it, the question is from Zhao Zhen, and the chief examiner is also Zhao Zhen, but it is Tang Jie and other ministers who really read the papers, otherwise there are more than 200 test papers, Zhao Zhen doesn't have to do anything for a few days, just read the papers.

There is only one mention of the questions in the palace examination, which are generally policy theories, and most of the tests are based on the candidates' understanding and methods of governance, after all, these candidates are already considered preparatory officials.

The topic of the discussion is very interesting, and it is actually a question of how to deal with the attacks of nomads in the border areas.

This problem is not only in the Great Song Dynasty, forced into the Han and Tang Dynasties, the border nomads are still a headache for the rulers, this problem is particularly prominent in the Great Song Dynasty, the loss of the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, the loss of the Great Wall of the Great Wall, the Great Song Dynasty from the northwest to the east to the Bohai Sea This long border has been subjected to the harassment of ethnic minorities.

The most effective and the most difficult thing is to kill directly to the grassland like the Great Han, kill these ethnic minorities, and drive them to Mobei, such an idea Yang Zheng can only think in his mind, under the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty, the generals are few and the troops are weak, and no matter how strong the armament is, it is difficult to compete with the nomads on the grassland.

The most important thing is that now is the era of cold weapons, and the absolute trump card of field warfare in this era is none other than cavalry, and the proportion of this type of army in the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the Great Song Dynasty is very small, and even whether it can go to the battlefield is a problem, for no other reason, the lack of war horses.

Yang Zheng pondered for a long time, anyway, these people won't give him a champion, just write it, there are too many die-hard fans of Da Song on the forum in the future to put forward various countermeasures so that Da Song can get rid of the predicament of not having a war horse.

Suitable places for raising horses, in addition to the sixteen states of Yanyun occupied by the Khitan, there are also the northwest and northeast, but the war between the northwest and the Western Xia was lost, and the soldiers were lost, and the Khitan would not let the Great Song Dynasty easily take back the Hetao area, and it would definitely help the Western Xia, and it would be difficult to snatch the Hetao area back in a short period of time, and only the northeast was left where horses could be raised.

The land is the Khitan with strong troops, and if you can take a boat through the vast strait and land on Ezo Island or even Sakhalin Island, which was a barbaric land at the time, the problem of war horses in the Song Dynasty can be completely solved.

And this is not a utopian dream, with the current shipbuilding technology and shipbuilding capabilities of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no problem at all in building a large enough and strong enough ship, just like in the plain area, the Great Song army without war horses is completely unable to compete with the Khitan iron cavalry, in the vast sea, the Great Song Dynasty can definitely go sideways.

After clarifying his thoughts, Yang Zheng was writing on the answer sheet.
