Chapter 112: Yongguo's Examination

Although there are all kinds of unbearable places for the adults, there is a son in this place, and the Empress Dowager Wu pinched her nose and lived.

However, Empress Dowager Wu couldn't stand Zhu Houhuang's aesthetics. Zhu Houhuang was bent on catching up with the progress, there was no aesthetic thing at all, and what he pursued was tall and sturdy, and Empress Dowager Wu immediately took over the construction of the entire Yongwang Mansion.

Of course, there is no need for Empress Dowager Wu to get started in person, there are more than a dozen stewards in Yongwangfu, although they can't do anything big, but they are all talents who can stand alone.

Zhu Houhuang watched it for a few days, and then sent out all the stewards of the Yongwang Mansion and took over some miscellaneous errands, such as drying salt, such as shipbuilding, such as trade in the South Seas, and so on. Based on the stewardship of Yongwang's Mansion, it will develop into the famous Yongwang Shaofu in the future. It is known as a money bag that can be compared with the treasury of the Yong Kingdom.

Of course, this is a matter for later, so I won't mention it now.

The most important thing that Zhu Houhuang is busy with now is the Yongguo official test.

"Is that all there are?" Zhu Houhuang couldn't help frowning. Looking at a list in his hand.

Wu and his entourage said: "Your Highness, there are already quite a few. There are more than a hundred people? ”

Zhu Houhuang thought of the civil service examination in which thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge in later generations, and then looked at the list of three or two big cats and kittens in his hand, and said: "Is there no one in Fujian?" Is there no one coming from Gangnam? Or did you not send someone to publicize it? ”

"Why not?" Wu Xingzhi felt that he was too wronged, and said: "I have sent people, but it is useless to send people?" They all looked down on the small place of Yongguo, and His Royal Highness's previous incident also spread, and it was sealed outside, saying--" Wu Xingzhi didn't dare to say it for a while.

"Say what? Don't spit out. Zhu Houhuang said.

"Say, even His Royal Highness King Yongwang almost died, let alone ordinary people." Wu Xingzhi peeked at Zhu Houhuang and said.

Zhu Houhuang snorted coldly, furious. He was almost about to rush out of his nose, he knew that what Wu Xingzhi was going to say must be unpleasant, but he never thought that it would be so bad to hear, Zhu Houhuang actually didn't care how someone scolded him, but the question, such rumors spread, is there anyone who comes to Yongguo?

Zhu Houhuang asked: "How many displaced people has Penghu accepted recently?" ”

"In the past month, there have been less than 100 people." Wu Xingzhi said.

There are less than 100 people a month, and if this goes on, when will the entire Dongyong be filled? Zhu Houhuang didn't know what to do for a while? The more you care about rumors, the more mysterious they are. But you don't care, he still has a great influence on you, Zhu Houhuang said secretly in his heart: "It seems that there will not be too many immigrants in Fujian and Zhejiang in the near future, and I have to find a new source of population." ”

But that's all for later, Zhu Houhuang looked at the list of more than 100 people and said, "Where did these people come from?" ”

Wu Xingzhi said: "These people are all local to Penghu, as well as people who have read a little bit in Fuzhou Sanwei. ”

"This shows that there are sages in the wild." Zhu Houhuang said.

Wu Xingzhi's eyes couldn't stop blinking, as if asking, these people can still be called sages. However, Dongyong is really short of people, and Wu Xingzhi can't take care of it, and said: "Your Highness simply doesn't take the exam, and directly assigns these 100 people to run errands, anyway, according to His Highness's intentions, we will expand in the future, and there are not many people to find." ”

Zhu Houhuang thought for a while and said, "No." In this way, the official test of my Yongguo will have no gold content. ”

"Does the official of Yongguo have such a thing as gold?" Wu Xingzhi couldn't help but slander, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of Zhu Houhuang.

"Are all the exam questions you prepared ready?" Zhu Houhuang asked.

"It's all set." Wu Xingzhi immediately said: "According to His Highness's intentions, it is divided into two subjects: Ming Jing and arithmetic. The exam questions for the Ming Jing were given by Mr. Tang, and the exam questions for arithmetic were given by me. It's not too hard. Mr. Tang Yin said that if you can't even do these questions, don't say that you are a reader. And my arithmetic problem is the easiest problem. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Then let's start." ”

Above the school grounds, the red sun hangs high.

Nearly 100 people are working on books. They were surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. Zhu Houhuang patrolled the examination room alone. Only then did I understand where Wu Xingzhi's contempt for more than 100 people came from.

The candidates are old, small, and there is an old man with gray hair, who looks much older than Mr. Tang Yin. The youngest was only thirteen or fourteen years old. The milky smell is not dry. Zhu Houhuang silently muttered in his heart: "Next time, you must remember that there is an age limit, like these seventy or eighty, whether to let him work for me, or let me serve them." ”

But looking at the little one, Zhu Houhuang couldn't help asking, "Whose child is that?" ”

Wu Xingzhi said: "Oh, it's Lao Chen's. ”

Old Chen Tou Zhu Houhuang also knows that he is a small official, and he is quite diligent. can be regarded as his own person, Zhu Houhuang secretly said in his heart: "It seems to be an old slippery head." This old Chen Tou saw that I had a small number of people, and the first time I took the official test, the requirements must be very low, so that I could mix my own children in. A few years earlier, even if it is a mixed qualification, it has an advantage over the late one. Anyway, it's your own person, forget it this time, and you must pay attention next time. ”

Zhu Houhuang does not have many exam questions, not at all like the current imperial examination for several days at a time. Zhu Houhuang looked up, it was almost noon, and the time was almost up. Immediately began to rewind.

When all the questions are done, it doesn't look good, and as soon as the paper is closed, you can see that it is superior.

Some people handed in the papers lightly, and some people wanted to rely on them until the last second, but Zhu Houhuang had seen through these situations in his previous life and didn't care.

More than 100 volumes, even if they distinguish between the scriptures and arithmetic, they are only more than 200 volumes, but after a while, they were cut and corrected, Zhu Houhuang took the results and couldn't help frowning, it was simply miserable. Tang Yin and Wu Xingzhi always thought that the papers they produced were already simple and could not be simpler, but among the more than 100 people, only single-digit people passed. made Zhu Houhuang frown.

However, Zhu Houhuang thought about it carefully and was relieved. How to say it. Tang Yin's literary level, even if it is the level of eight shares, there is never any need to doubt it, because in a death examination area like Jiangnan, getting the name of Xie Yuan is enough to show the level, but the rest is the examination room Mo paper. And Wu Xingzhi's level of arithmetic is beyond doubt.

It's just that Zhu Houhuang feels that his level of mathematics is not as good as Wu Xingzhi's. Don't think that ancient people must have been worse in mathematics than modern people.

Although Wu Xingzhi is young, he can be recommended by the local government as a rising generation in arithmetic to go to Beijing and repair the calendar. The level of arithmetic is definitely beyond the ordinary.

Both masters think that the questions they come up with are simple, which can only show that the simplicity seen by the masters is definitely not the same thing as the simplicity seen by ordinary people.

And Fuzhou Sanwei is under his extrajudicial grace. But anyone who has a little ability, and the people who are in the doorway, all find a relationship, and ask the door to leave Fuzhou Sanwei and stay in Fuzhou, instead of following Zhu Houhuang to come here, and Penghu is not to mention, it is useless to turn into a foreign place, reading or something, it is not useful to learn to kill people, and it is a joke to expect how much culture Penghu can have.

Zhu Houhuang sighed in his heart, he could only do this, Zhu Houhuang pushed the door out, and said: "The people who have passed the official test, Chen Liang, Xu Wenchao ,----" There are more than a dozen names in total, and Zhu Houhuang will finish reading it in a while.

After this recitation, all beings began to be in a variety of ways, some cried, some laughed, and some almost jumped.

Zhu Houhuang coughed twice and said: "My Yongguo is coarse and Dongyong, and I am thirsty for talents, although you have not passed my country's official examination, but I am willing to give you a chance, so that you can learn the official position in the name of the agent, and it will not be too late to take the exam in the future." ”

As soon as Zhu Houhuang said this, countless people were stunned for a moment, and then cheered loudly, not knowing that Shui first began to shout, "King Yong's Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." King Yong is a thousand years old. Voices echoed in the air, but the voices of more than a hundred people were a little thin.

Zhu Houhuang secretly said that this is just the beginning. In the future, Yongguo's official test will definitely not be like this.
