Chapter 328: Sword Test Questions
Lu Ming glanced at the civil and military officials, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying that it is indeed a good thing to implement policies, but if the officials of the imperial court only care about competing for fame and fortune, and disobeying the yang and the yin, then no matter how good the governance strategy is, it is just empty words, and it is the people who suffer after all." β
What Lu Zhenguo said is extremely true, and this sentence is to the point. β
"This is the biggest problem of the imperial court, and it is also the most difficult problem to govern, Lu Ming is really wise and transcendent, far from being comparable to us. β
"We're still scrambling to offer advice, but compared to the question raised by Lu Ming, it's useless at all, because corrupt officials and corrupt officials in our court are rampant, and with them, any statecraft is just lip service. β
"Lu Ming, this is directly 'showing the sword' to the Shoufu Party!"
Many scholars whispered to each other, and the officials of the Shoufu Party listened to it very unpleasantly, but the officials of Yang Xiuyuan all the way appreciated Lu Ming's foresight.
Liang Jun said: "What Lu Zhenguo said is extremely true, but I don't know what your opinion is?"
"The people have been overwhelmed, and I implore the king to reduce taxes and follow the example of the Suzhou Charity Association to take the lead in collecting donations for the displaced people, which is the emperor's grace and the blessing of all the people!"
After Lu Ming finished speaking, he immediately bowed and bowed deeply.
The officials of the Shoufu Party changed their faces when they heard this, and they had also heard that the Suzhou Charity Society was a charitable organization that specialized in raising all kinds of money, and all the money received was not taken for the people.
The establishment of the Suzhou Charity Association, so that the people of Suzhou provinces and counties have obtained great benefits, many people who can't open the pot after receiving funding, not only solved the problem of food, some people even opened a shop, and a large part of the money received was donated back to the Suzhou Charity Association.
Zhou Dongyue was therefore promoted to the third level of official to comfort his merits, and the Suzhou area was praised by thousands of people.
However, no one will forget that the establishment of the Suzhou Charity Association was proposed by Lu Ming.
Today, Lu Ming proposed in the Jinluan Hall that hundreds of officials follow the example of the Suzhou Charity Association, which is to make Liang Junshi famous and make a big profit from the officials of the Shoufu Party first.
The fourth prince, Zhuang Yusheng, was overjoyed in his heart: "Lu Ming is really a genius of the sky, I really didn't see the wrong person!"
Yang Xiuyuan nodded approvingly, Lu Ming's "sword" was lit at the right time, and it was simply a head-on blow to the Shoufu Party.
Liang Jun was embarrassed: "You are quite simple, but there is not much left of the monthly expenses of the civil and military officials, even if they want to raise money and two silver, I am afraid it will be a drop in the bucket." β
"Please Liang Jun put the people first!", Lu Ming said loudly.
"What Lu Ming said is extremely true, and the minister seconded it!", Yang Xiuyuan suddenly stood up and made a move.
"The ministers seconded it!"
Immediately afterwards, the officials behind him stood up one after another and saluted Liang Jun together.
"I'll second!", many readers said in unison.
"This ......", Liang Jun glanced at the Shoufu Party.
Yan Kun was helpless in his heart, but he had no choice but to say respectfully: "The minister seconded the proposal." β
The ministers seconded. β
With Yan Kun's statement, other officials had to second, but they scolded Lu Ming thousands of times in their hearts.
"Okay, then follow what Zhongqing said!"
Liang Junlong's face was happy, and he laughed and said: "Spread the decree, next year's tax revenue will be halved, and from now on, the civil and military officials will follow the example of the Suzhou Charity Association to raise donations for the people, and the first assistant will count the accounts." β
Speaking of this, the faces of the officials of the Shoufu Party were overjoyed, but the next sentence made them change their faces.
"As for the allocation of funds, it will be handled by the Zhenzhou University Scholars. β
"Obey. Yang Xiuyuan said happily.
Yan Kun's face changed, and he turned his head to look at Yang Xiuyuan, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Liang Jun suddenly had a serious expression, slapped the desk, and said loudly: "As for the corrupt officials that Lu Zhenguo said in his mouth, I will not pursue them today, but all the civil and military officials present have listened to me, if someone mentions the word 'homeless' in the future, I will definitely get to the bottom of it and severely punish it!"
"Obey the order!", the civil and military officials said in unison.
Liang Jun nodded lightly: "The Beijing test continues!"
Mu Qinghong said: "This is the end of the first question of the palace examination, Lu Ming is outstanding, and the proposed strategy is implemented on the spot, so it should be ranked first, do you have any objections?"
"Lu Ming deserves the first place!", one shouted.
"Well deserved, well deserved!", everyone said in unison.
"Okay! That's it. β
Mu Qinghong continued: "Now I would like to ask Mr. Pu Ke to come up with the second question. β
"I respectfully ask the gentleman for the question. ", the crowd said loudly.
Mr. Pu Ke got up from his seat and said to everyone with a smile on his face: "The second question is 'martial arts'. β
As he spoke, he took out a square and black stone from his sleeve, and threw it into the air, and suddenly rose several feet tall in the wind, standing in the Jinluan Palace.
At this time, everyone could see that there were many sword marks on the hard stone surface, some deep and some shallow, some long and some short, and it had obviously been chopped countless times.
The longest of them was five feet, and the deepest was only six inches.
"This stone is called 'Sword Test Stone', and you will use the talent spirit sword to slash on it, and the one with the deepest trace will win the first place, and you can use the power of the spirit sword poem. β
"The second question is as simple as that?"
The readers looked at each other and began to talk one after another.
"I heard that the sword test stone is invulnerable, extremely hard, and the spirit sword of ordinary people is difficult to hurt in the slightest, it is the best material for casting shields, and the spirit sword of ordinary people can only leave traces of an inch at most. β
"What? The Sword Test Stone has such a hard defensive power? It seems that this question is not simple!"
"If the governing policy is not good, as long as you have outstanding results in the sword test stone, you may be able to become a military attachΓ©, after all, there must be a strong point in literature and martial arts. β
Pu Ke turned a blind eye to everyone's discussions, and said to himself: "Okay, now the answer question begins, who of you will come first?"
"Let me come first!"
Yan Cong was the first to stand up, and without saying a word, he had to summon his talent spirit sword, and at the same time he made witty remarks:
"The ancient sword is cold and dim,
Cast thousands of years.
White light nano sun and moon,
Purple gas row bullfighting. β
After the words were spoken, the Caiqi Spirit Sword let out a crisp sword sound, and the sword light flickered, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
"Tell me!"
There was an obvious mark on the surface of the sword test stone, and Pu Ke said: "It's three feet long and four inches deep, which is good." β
"Oh my God! Yan Cong's spirit sword is so powerful!"
"I'm afraid we've reached the pinnacle of Hanlin! This one witty phrase alone has such power, it's really terrifying!"
"He really deserves to be the son of Yan Shoufu, not only is he intellectually outstanding, but even the spirit sword has been cultivated to such a realm, which is very accessible. β
Although everyone said this, Yan Cong had no pride at all, and looked at Lu Ming: "Lu Zhenguo, it's time for you to show your hand, you once killed demons with Yang Xiuyuan, and you must have practiced an extraordinary spirit sword, since you have this opportunity today, why don't you let us open our eyes?"
