"Well, this porridge tastes good, wait for the little eunuch to come over, and ask for another bowl." Dongfang Yao drank the porridge in the bowl, and smashed his mouth a little unsatisfied.

But it's no wonder that after writing all morning, anyone will be a little hungry. Looking at the nearly half of the words already written on the silk paper on the table, Dongfang Yao even wondered if he should take a nap before continuing to write. Anyway, it will take two whole days, and if you finish writing it in advance, it will be a bit boring.

"The weapon of the country is for soldiers, for cars, for people, for systems, but if everything is smooth sailing, grain, grass and silver must go first. Our dynasty is prosperous, and it has its own official bank and private money. In addition, the current circulation procedures for money vouchers between various provinces are too complicated, which not only increases the surplus expenses, but also affects the precious time. If the national circulation can be implemented, the state capital will be the first to circulate quickly, and everything will be doubled. ”

"If everything is relied on by silver, then the world can really be described as the treasure of the country and the weapon of the country!" Nangong Ming wrote hard, and even forgot the inquiry of the little eunuch holding the food box. In the end, Guan was actually too involved, and the little eunuch sighed lightly, put the porridge outside the bamboo shed, and turned to the next tribute......

However, there are not many people who are as comfortable as Dongfang Yao, and many people are like Nangong Ming who spies on the little lady who delivers porridge and does not see it, but is so anxious that they scratch their ears and cheeks. At this point, it may be easy to solve the problem at the beginning, but once it reaches the stage of argumentation, in addition to citing classic evidence, it is necessary to list a large number of facts as a basis, which makes it difficult for many students who do not go out of the door. The palace test is not as good as the township test, and the pass guò rate has been extremely low. Of the 400 lifters, only 10 of them could actually cross the single-plank bridge and enter the temple.

Therefore, everyone is full of spirit, eager to pour out all the things they have seen and heard in their lives. There are many people in the world like carp crossing the river, but who can really win in such an exam that races against body, spirit and time, which one does not have great wisdom and perseverance......

At the same moment, Lin Yu, Nan Gong Tingfang, and Wu Dazhuang, who was stuffed with two steamed buns in their mouths, sat in a tavern on Jinxiu Street, not far from the imperial city, and also began to worship their own five internal organs.

"Lin Yu, do you say that brother, do they have anything to eat now? Will they be very tired after writing like this all morning? Brother has always been very smooth in writing, should there be no problem, what do you say?" As soon as he sat down, Nan Gong Tingfang's small mouth began to speak.

"Hehe, Tingfang, don't worry, Xiao Mingtian is a genius, and he is the first in the township test, I am afraid that there will be no one who can stand out in this Zhongzhou. If he wins the Wenju champion again, it will be three yuan in a row, hehe, I don't know what the scenery will be like when the time comes. Lin Yu laughed and spoke out to comfort Nan Tingfang.

"In my opinion, the emperor is so rich, he will definitely prepare a lot of good dishes and good meals for them, Tingfang, you can rest assured. Wu Dazhuang's mouth was stuffed, but he still didn't forget to say the last two sentences.

"Eat yours. Nan Gongfang glared at Wu Dazhuang, and turned his head to look at the street outside the window, which was still full of people. It's almost noon now, and if they hadn't come a little early, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to find a seat at this meal.

"Lin Yu, is my brother okay?"

"Don't worry, no problem, hehe. ”......

Lin Yu's words don't seem to be entirely accurate, because in addition to Nangong Ming in Zhongzhou, there is really an opponent who is not comparable to him.

This person's surname is Shangguan, and he is second only to the Nangong family in Zhongzhou, and there are many talents in the clan, except for being unknown in the martial arts, I am afraid that any force knows the existence of the Shangguan family.

However, it is not because the Shangguan family is famous in the court or in business, but because it is well deserved as a scholarly family. It is only because of this clan that there are more gentlemen, and people of insight in the clan are also proud of opening a school.

The Shangguan clan attaches great importance to the spread of knowledge among the children of the clan, and as long as the children of the family are successful in their studies and want to open a academy in a place where there is no Shangguan Academy, the clan will give full support.

It can be said that in the Great Qian Dynasty, except for the schools purchased by the royal and government governments, the Shangguan Academy is a well-deserved first place.

Nangong Ming's township test and meeting test in Zhongzhou all have a person who can compete with him regardless of his essay collection or intention.

This person is a bit special, if you have never seen him, just looking at his articles, you will think that such wonderful writing is the work of a great man, and you will never think that the real author is a teenager who is only twelve years old.

This young man's name is Shangguan Jundong, and he is a new star that has suddenly risen in the Shangguan family in recent years. At the age of eight, he participated in the local township examination, and was known for his sharp pen and straight to the point.

This prodigy rarely goes out on weekdays, but anyone who knows him can't help but give him a thumbs up. Because this kid has a room full of books, and most of them are quite transparent.

"Heaven and earth are the king's own teachers, and those who respect the teacher alone are great. If you are a trio, there will be someone who can preach and teach me and solve my doubts...... Therefore, our dynasty should take respecting the teacher as the first term, and fundamentally put aside the old habit that the business is not as good as the official and the teacher is not as good as the business......"

Shangguan Jundong wrote this, stopped the brush in his hand, looked up at Nangong Ming who was not far from him, and a streamer burst out from his bright eyes, looking at the opponent who had been pressing him with a look that was extremely incommensurate with his age......

"Will the saint return after dinner?" Jiang Kai, who was still pacing in the middle of the field, turned his head to Tang Mingchuan, but his eyes were still observing the actions of each student.

"When this is the case, this year's imperial examination is very important, and our two old fellows still cheer up and take a good test for these young people. Tang Mingchuan also did not withdraw his gaze, but kept observing the surroundings.

"Alas, my back hurts, take a break. Nangong Ming stopped writing, a blue light flashed in his palm, and a gust of wind swept through his body, and his waist, which had been bent down for a long time, was also lighter, and it was no longer so sore......

In the afternoon, Emperor Mingxuan returned to the palace, and the exam was still going on as usual. However, the situation at this time is slightly different from that in the morning. Except for Dongfang Yao, who fell asleep, the other students were still racking their brains to write their articles.

"Huh, it seems that only Nangong Ming can compete with me in this Wenju. Shangguan Jundong put the pen on the inkstone, and his slender arm tapped his back, which was already a little painful. Even a child of his calibre could not stand holding one position for a long time, let alone anyone else. Looking at the various appearances of several students in the bamboo shed next to him, there was even a person who was obviously old enough to become Shangguan Jundong's grandfather, sometimes frowning, sometimes the corners of his mouth were slightly Yang. Shangguan Jundong couldn't help but shake his head.

When writing an article, in addition to the beautiful and smooth writing, it is also necessary to pay attention to the word rhythm. And looking at the other tributes who were close to him so disorganized, and remembering the way they were written sentence by sentence, Shangguan Jundong knew that it was impossible for them to pose a threat to themselves......

Two days, for most of the students who come to participate in the palace examination, may be a physical and psychological test. Even when it is nightfall, many people still have to light candles and think about it.

Of course, this naturally does not include Dongfang Yao and Nangong Ming, who have already fallen asleep, as well as people such as Shangguan Jundong and Wang Linyuan, who is a little stunned, and even the old man with gray hair in the day has already slept on the ground. I don't know if it's because he's old and can't bear sleepiness, or if he's confident and no longer in a hurry......

Although there are a few people like this, there are dozens of them. Although their appearance at the moment is a little heartless. However, if you can see the unfinished article on their table, I'm afraid no one thinks so.

People who hold such ideas also include Jiang Kai and Tang Mingchuan. Rao is sky is dark at the moment, but with that little candlelight, the two of them also saw these people's articles clearly.

Although there is still a long part of other content after the article has been solved and demonstrated, as long as they see the handwriting that is either dragon flying and phoenix dancing or flowing clouds, as well as the idea of closely following the national economy and people's livelihood, Jiang Kai and Tang Mingchuan can't help but nod secretly.

"Come on, all the bamboo sheds will be given a blanket. Jiang Kai summoned the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were also patrolling the scene and commanded softly.

"Yes, sir. ”......

"Ahh

"Well, what is that person doing?" Dongfang Yao, who had just woken up, stretched his waist, and there was a commotion in his ears, he stood up and leaned out to look in the direction where the sound came from.

Curious heads stretched out from the bamboo hut, but what they saw was a man with a mantle and a crazy face being pressed to the ground by several soldiers of the tiger and leopard battalion. Even if he is already in a state of madness at this moment, he can't resist the wolf-like soldier after all.

"Alas, this person, it's a pity......" Nangong Ming shook his head, being able to survive this Jinluan Hall test is already a bright future, but he doesn't want to really have people who are crazy because of this kind of extreme nervousness.

This kind of thing happens from time to time, some people take fame and fortune too seriously, although they have made more efforts than ordinary people, but in the same way, under the expectations in their hearts and the tense atmosphere of the palace examination, they will eventually make people tired, and they will not be satisfied with their own articles, and they will go crazy.

This can happen when people are overjoyed or depressed. Therefore, the students only took a few glances, and then sorted out their appearances and continued to take the exam for the new day......

"Little father-in-law, one more bowl. Ge Weiran licked his lips and said to the little eunuch who was carrying a food box on the side. Last night he fought at night, and I don't know what hour it was written before he fell asleep.

Now when I woke up, I found that my stomach was extremely empty, and I couldn't care about anything else, so I poured a bowl full of meat porridge into my stomach in one bite.

The students wrote for a whole day and night, and in addition to the physical consumption, the mental consumption only made them more tired. This directly caused that before the third pole of the day, several weak scholars fainted on the spot, and there was no need to think that their palace examination journey would end there.

"Well, another one. An imperial doctor joked to his colleague next to him, but he didn't dare to delay for half a minute. After all, even if these tributes quit halfway, the Hanlin Academy also has its place, and they will be some kind of officials in the future, so even if they have a lot of contempt in their hearts, they don't dare to have the slightest slack.
