Therefore, in addition to adjusting Liu Ruozai, who was originally ranked eleventh, to the champion, He Ruizheng, who was originally the first place, and the candidates from the second to the tenth were all postponed by one place, after the top twenty, due to Xiao Mu's "rescue", the candidates who were affected by the ranking caused by poor appearance were eliminated, and there were only four or five people in total. Although the rest are ranked a little ahead, they are still in the top three in the end. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As for Shi Kefa's ranking, Xiao Mu could pay attention to it this time, and found that although he was not in the top 20 he had seen before, it was not very bad, and the results of the top 3 and 26th could probably be ranked in the top third or so of all the new science and technology scholars, that is to say, among the jinshi produced this time, at least 200 people were not as talented as Shi Kefa.

So, after adjusting the rankings of all candidates, Xiao Mu, who took the final version of the ranking list, could once again "give in" to Lin Ye, and the matter of the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and the palace examination finally came to an end - of course, this is only for Xiao Mu and Lin Ye, who can know the results in advance, for those "protagonists" of the imperial examination, that is, the candidates who really took the exam, they are still in the nervous waiting before the release of the list.

"It turns out that this Shi Kefa took a top 3 and 26th place." After Lin Yi saw the list, the first thing he did was to find Shi Kefa's position, and it was obvious that Shi Kefa's ranking did not let Lin Ye find it for too long, "The twenty-sixth place in the top three is equivalent to the number one among all candidates?" In fact, Lin Yi could know the answer by counting the candidates in front of Shi Kefa, but for her, this method was undoubtedly too inefficient, and it was better to ask directly.

Xiao Mu had already prepared for Lin Yi's question, so he opened his mouth and replied, "The first class is the top three people, the second class is about sixty or seventy people, and Shi Kefa is the third class twenty-six, that is, three plus sixty or seventy, plus twenty-six, it is probably more than ninety." ”

After knowing that they were the only one who could barely be regarded as half of the "knowing" Shi Kefa's ranking among the more than 300 new science and technology scholars, Lin Yi lost interest in this list with the rankings of all the candidates - of course, this list can be counted as a treasure level for other ordinary people, after all, the final results of the palace examination have not yet been announced at this time,

However, for Lin Ye, she had never heard of any of the names on this list, and which of these names that she didn't know at all was ranked in front and which was in the back, which naturally had no meaning to her, so after a few simple glances, she was casually put aside by Lin Ye.

"I decided to send Shi Kefa to Zhangjiakou, where Song Qi would be responsible for overseeing the transactions between the Ming merchants and the Mongol tribes." Xiao Mu took the initiative to start the next topic this time, "Judging from the two misunderstandings he had with Hu Yun before, this person is at least very upright, and there are still many businessmen in Zhangjiakou, like Wang Dengku, there are still many businessmen with a lot of money, and it is not a simple matter to withstand their temptation of money." ”

"If you don't mention it, I'll almost forget it." This time it was Lin Ye's turn to be confused, after all, he had studied and discussed with Xiao Mu before to set up a city division in Zhangjiakou, and the plan jointly responsible for by Song Qi of Jinyiwei and a new branch jinshi had passed for a while, and during this time, a series of things such as the floods in Zhejiang, the defeat of Fujian, and the Ningyuan mutiny occurred, so that Lin Ye almost forgot about the affairs of Zhangjiakou.

"This Shi Kefa should have no problem in terms of ethics, if he can't withstand the temptation of those businessmen's money, it's hard to imagine anyone else who can do better than him." Then Lin Yi agreed with Xiao Mu's decision, "And he is also a famous figure in history, in addition to ethics, there must be some extraordinary talents that ordinary people do not have, after all, in the history of Daming if you want to leave a name, there are no two brushes that you don't have to think about." ”

"And we don't know enough about the situation of the Jinshi of other new subjects, only this Shi Kefa can be regarded as having a little bit of understanding." Xiao Mu added, "And the city boss in Zhangjiakou obviously needs a promotion as early as possible, so whether it is in terms of conduct, ability or time, Shi Kefa should be the most suitable person." ”

"Yes, if we don't send a civil official to fight against Song Qi, who was born in Jinyiwei, the courtiers in the court will be worried that Song Qi alone controls the entire city, in that case, they will be dissatisfied, it is better to send a new branch jinshi as soon as possible, so as not to worry indiscriminately and affect the stability of the situation." Lin Yi found a new angle, analyzing the contradiction between the civil officials from the imperial examination and the Jinyi guard.

All in all, the more Xiao Mu and Lin Yi analyzed, the more they felt that they should send someone to Zhangjiakou this morning, and the more they also felt that Shi Kefa was the most suitable person - maybe there was someone among the new science and technology scholars who did better than Shi Kefa, but the current situation was that Xiao Mu and Lin Ye knew almost nothing about people other than Shi Kefa, and there was no way to find this person who might be even better.

"This Shi Kefa, what did he leave his name in his original history?" This is the first time Xiao Mu has tried to think about this problem without knowing how many times, and the final result is all the same, that is, he can only barely confirm that he has heard this name before he crosses, as for recalling his deeds in history, it is completely impossible to do, "But what is certain is that in the original history, after he passed the Jinshi examination, he was definitely not sent to Zhangjiakou to be promoted by the city." In the original history, Zhangjiakou may not have set up such a city division at all. ”

"It's not 'maybe', but 'certainly' that this city has not been set up, and only you can do such a thing." Lin Yi added, "Since he is a traverser, it is inevitable to inadvertently change a little bit of history, even if you want to follow the original trajectory of history, you can't do it, for example, this Shi Kefa, if you don't send him to Zhangjiakou, do you know where he was assigned to be an official after being admitted to the Jinshi in the original history?" ”
