Chapter I

After several months of adjustment, Dongshui relied on the victory of the paper money war to unfold quickly, and the surrounding countries were once again shrouded in the paper money war, although Dongshui leaked the papermaking technology, lost the channel to enjoy huge benefits, but the quality of the paper produced by other countries and the gap between Dongshui is too big, so the income of paper can still be a lot.

The rapidly expanding economic strength also led to the development of the army, relying on the wealth and wealth, Chen Chen decided to abolish the compulsory conscription system and replace it with a paid conscription system, which immediately attracted a lot of soldiers, and even soldiers from neighboring countries began to gather in Dongshui.

The neighboring countries were extremely worried about Dongshui's move, and Nanzhao and Chen strengthened the military blockade of Dongshui in an attempt to curb Dongshui's southward and westward advance.

Chen Chen didn't have much reaction to this, at this moment he straightened out the affairs of Dongshui, and then gave the power to the Big Three again, and continued to be a hedonistic prince.

The three giants of Dongshui were naturally ecstatic in the face of the lost and regained power, and they were even more loyal to the prince.

With a stable political situation and a prosperous economy, Dongshui's examination has finally kicked off, and after several months of screening, students from all over the world have gathered in Kyoto to wait for the final selection.

"Lord Wang, the township exams in various places have been completed, and now the students have gathered in Kyoto, this is the exam question, please take a look." After the university scholar Wu Kexin finished handling the affairs, he handed the exam questions to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen picked up the test questions and looked at them and said, "Yes, the questions from this king are all there, and they are doing well, since the students have come, then the exam will start tomorrow, right?" ”

"Lord, will time be a little tighter?" Wu Kexin couldn't help but be startled when she heard that there would be an exam tomorrow.

Chen Chen smiled slightly: "It's only a few hundred people, tomorrow is definitely enough for one day, okay, this king has made up his mind, no need to say more, go and prepare immediately." ”

"Yes, then the minister will go to the drunken dream building to set it up." Although Lord Wu felt that something was wrong, he did not dare to interfere with the prince's decision.

After Lord Wu left, Commander Wei said suspiciously, "Lord Wang, why do you have to start tomorrow?" I'm not in a hurry for a while. ”

Chen Chen waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "Commander Wei, you don't know!" The exam is for fairness, these students have just entered Kyoto, they must be unfamiliar with life, the king is worried that the time will drag on for a long time, these students chant poems and paint with each other, form gangs, and even directly visit some dignitaries, when the time comes to correct the test papers, I am afraid that there is a human touch in it, so this king decided to start the exam tomorrow, to strictly put an end to this phenomenon, and try to create a fairer atmosphere. ”

"The prince really took great pains to think." Commander Wei also felt that it made sense when he heard this.

"Tomorrow, remember to send troops to surround Zuimenglou, and at the same time stop all kinds of activities in Kyoto, it's better not to go out for idle people, everything must serve the exam." Chen Chen lowered his head and muttered for a while, then gave another order.

Tomorrow's exam, there are too many people on the street, which will not affect the students' exam time, so the road must be clear.

The court prepared for tomorrow's exam as quickly as possible, but the students exploded when they received the news of the early exam.

Inside the inn:

"Now that the exam is tomorrow, do you want to see Master Li?" A young scholar said anxiously to a family member.

"Young master, I'm afraid it's difficult this time, the old slave just went to Lord Li's mansion, and the housekeeper spread the word that Lord Li has been summoned by the prince to Zuimenglou to discuss tomorrow's exam, it is said that not only Lord Li, but all the officials of the court have been summoned by the prince, and they are not allowed to come back overnight."

"How can this be, is this time Young Master Ben going to go home empty-handed?" The book angrily kicked over the basin.

The old family said helplessly: "Young master, I really have to rely on you this time, and the work done by the master seems to have been in vain." ”

"If Young Master Ben can really rely on himself, then why do you need your father to move around during the township test? It's really unlucky, who the hell came up with this idea? ”

The old family hurriedly covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Young master, be quiet, this is what the prince means, don't talk nonsense, if this spreads, it will be the Nine Clans." ”

The same scene is staged in different places, but the protagonists are different, but the story is exactly the same, and some students have no reaction to this, and they rest early to prepare for tomorrow's exam.

Early the next morning, Kyoto was strictly forbidden throughout the city, and idle people were not allowed to move around at will.

"Mother, why don't you go out and play today." A little boy stood at the window and said suspiciously.

"Today is the examination activity for the prince to select officials, everyone can't go out, and our three sons will also take the exam in the future and become big officials." The woman held the child and looked at the students walking on the street, smiled slightly, looked back at her son, and said softly.

"Do officials have candy to eat? Daddy went today, too. ”

"Yes, there are four joys in life, a long drought and a sweet rain, and a foreign country. The cave room spends candle night, when the gold list is inscribed. If your father is in high school, you will be satisfied with being a mother. ”

The students were only put into the Zuimeng Building under the layers of interrogation by the soldiers, and at this moment, Chen Chen had already led the hundreds of officials of cultural relics to wait in the hall.

"Participate in the prince." When the students saw Chen Chen, they hurriedly knelt down to say hello.

"Hahaha, everyone get up, today is our first examination and selection system in Dongshui, you have to work hard, strive to be in the official class as soon as possible, this king is waiting for your arrival in the court." However, if anyone dares to cheat for personal gain, as long as it is found out, then he will never be allowed to take the exam again. Looking at the full hall of students, Chen Chen said with a high spirit, as if he saw new strength and life.

Everyone nodded hurriedly, "Thank you for your teachings." ”

Chen Chen stepped aside, and Wu Kexin, a scholar, immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "You have also seen the examination system this time, in order to make it clearer to everyone, I will explain it again today: there are a total of ten questions in this exam, and the source of the first five questions is the classic bibliography of the classics you usually learn, mainly to examine your learning foundation and literacy; The last five questions are from the prince himself, and you pay more attention to your actual combat ability and swing ability, ten questions each question is ten, a total of 100 points, and finally choose admission according to the level of the score, the exam time is three hours, once the paper is not handed in, you will be kicked out of the field immediately, remember? ”

"Thank you, sir." The students hurriedly nodded in agreement, indicating that they were clear.

"There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book, this is the truth that we all know, today's opportunity is in front of you, whether you can seize it is in your hands, come on." Wu Kexin looked at the hard-working students and remembered the difficulties when he used to study, so he said quite sensationally.

The enthusiasm of the students was immediately aroused by a few words from Master Wu, and everyone quickly thanked them and rushed upstairs. (To be continued.) )
