Suddenly, one day, Li Chengze suddenly proposed to test the knowledge of the princes of the school, and the civil and military courses had to be examined.

Of course, the implicit meaning is to see who is more talented, and the meaning of cultivating it well in the future.

This can surprise everyone, but the clan is still very happy, many children can come to the competition, show their faces for the emperor to see, maybe there is a chance.

Several princes are also gearing up, Brother Qian, as steady and calm as ever, Li Chengze nodded secretly.

Brother Mao also wanted to participate, and he pestered Li Chengze for two days.

followed all the way into Kunning Palace, "Father, I'll play." ”

"Nope."

"I'm only jousting."

Brother Mao keeps up the good work.

"No, it's not a good thing that your reputation is revealed too early, it's not that your father won't let you play, no."

Li Chengze didn't let people say that Brother Mao had a lot of strength, and there were some rumors about Ying Zhuozhuo, but he didn't admit it, and said that he was stronger than ordinary children, but his strength was limited, and there were fewer people who said it slowly.

Hui Lan beckoned to Brother Hao, Brother Lian quickly ran into her arms, climbed on her lap and sat down, hugged her neck, and glanced at her brother demonstratively, not to mention the smugness.

Brother Mao was encircled by Huilan in his arms and leaned on himself, "Do you want to play?" ”

"Yes."

"But if you go, it will leak, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future, aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, my sister has gone to the northwest, I know she is for our brother, I don't want to be a turtle with a shrunken head."

Brother Mao can't say too many words, and his ability to express himself is limited, but he understands it in his heart.

Huilan thought for a while, "Okay, in that case, you can also go to the competition, don't cry if you lose." ”

"Really, Father?"

Brother Mao jumped up happily.

Li Chengze glanced at Huilan, but he didn't speak and was still groaning.

"Let him go, it's not a matter to hide it, it's better to make a generous appearance, I don't care about reputation or anything, my son won't become injured Zhongyong, if it doesn't work, I'll call it back."

Hui Lan smiled calmly, didn't you forget my whip.

"It's okay, since you're not afraid, then go, but you haven't read books for a few years, and if you go, you'll lose."

Li Chengze doesn't understand his son's thoughts, and you can't compare.

"Fathers and sons go into battle, fight tiger brothers, I can't let my brother face everyone alone, even if I don't use it, I have to tell everyone that our brothers will always be together, don't bully the young and poor, this is what Uncle Liangzi said."

Brother Mao supports his brother in his own way, and he has his own ideas and reasons.

Li Chengze looked at his three sons, couldn't help laughing, and touched the heads of the two naughty ghosts, "Okay, let you go." You're not going. ”

"I don't compare, I'm going to watch the game and cheer for my brothers."

Brother Lian announced with his chin cocked and a proud face.

"Good. I have made meat for you to eat today. ”

Huilan kissed her two sons, Brother Lian rubbed her happily, she pulled her eldest son over and kissed her forehead, Brother Qian's face was red, embarrassed, his eyes were crooked, bright and bright.

"Go and compare, the queen mother believes in your strength, and when you give me good news, I will write a letter to tell your sister."

"Well, I will."

Brother Qian's eyes were resolute and bright.

On the third day, the competition began, and the exam questions that Li Chengze personally came up with were all relatively difficult, mainly because of the examination of difficult problems in the court, to see what everyone understood.

Everyone is writing hard, only Brother Mao is looking left and right, not knowing what to find.

Li Chengze ignored him, he didn't know all the words, he just made up the numbers.

Brother Lian ran over, and the two muttered for a while, and Brother Lian was like a microphone, constantly passing words to Brother Mao.

Li Chengze couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded, "Brother Hao, what are you doing, don't make noise." ”

"I'm not playing, I can't write some words."

Brother Mao stood up and his face was flushed, he had ideas but he didn't recognize all the words and couldn't write.

The ministers let out a good-natured laugh.

Master Ma reminded with a smile, "If you can't write, you can say it, what is the hurry, you think about it in your heart, and when you are asked, don't you have to write it down directly." ”

"That's right, Master Ma is amazing, thank you!"

Brother Mao slapped and found a solution.

"Then you talk about how to solve the problem of insufficient military salary, and if you don't answer seriously, you will be punished."

Li Chengze wanted to bombard him and toss jokes.

"The army and the people are united, open up the wasteland, use the land to support the army, let the military families follow the army to open up the wasteland and farm, half of the income is used to raise the army, half of the tax is handed over to the national treasury, and the rest belongs to the army themselves. Can exiled mortals be allowed to go to the mines to do hard labor? ”

Brother Mao heard some of the methods that Huilan talked about, and he thought about it himself and said it.

"Oh, then how should this money and food be divided, and how can we ensure that officials will not enrich their own pockets."

Li Chengze continued to ask questions, and what he learned should also be fully understood.

"In addition to the food handed over to the state treasury, the generals have the right to keep food for their own use for the soldiers to eat, and I have asked the steward, sometimes because of the weather, the delivery of grain will be delayed, so that there will not be a greater danger.

As for supervision, the local governor or magistrate can supervise the accounts and guard the granary. A person is good at guarding and stealing, once there are more people, it is difficult to do this, unless everyone is angry, but this thing is very difficult, because the interests are not aligned, you can't do things together. ”

Brother Mao did think about it, although the things are very superficial, but there are still merits, at least he remembered what the adults said and thought about it seriously.

Li Chengze was very satisfied when he heard it, he was not old but he was smart and willing to endure hardships, and he studied hard, which is very proud.

"Yes, what you said makes some sense, let's write you two points, don't write it, I don't want to see the ghost painting."

Li Chengze sneered at his bad words.

Brother Hao sat down happily and squeezed his eyes at Brother Qian, not to mention how proud he was.

Brother Qianxiao smiled and continued to write.

After Li Chengze read the policy discussion one by one, he showed it to the ministers, and the ministers always thought that what Brother Qiange wrote was reasonable and well-founded, and had some practical reference value, and he had carefully studied and read it, and the approximate income of the farmland was written in, and what he usually learned was used to learn and use it, which was really good.

The remaining princes have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they all have a fatal shortcoming, talking on paper, it is not as good as what Brother Mao said, he knows that because of the weather problems will delay the delivery of food, these princes are boastful, not to the point.

Li Chengze came up with three questions in the literature and history exam, and only Brother Qian's answer was the best, which was unanimously agreed by the ministers, and the difference was too great, and it was impossible to say it against his will.

Finally, it was the turn of the martial arts class, which was more than archery and fist and foot kung fu, and there were soldiers who were specifically responsible for testing the princes and the children of the clan.

Brother Hao can ride a horse, and his riding level is quite good, and he has a lot of strength to practice martial arts early, so he is not worried about this.
