In March, the date of the temple examination came.

A total of 100 people participated in the temple examination, and they answered two test papers in order.

At this time, the emperor sent close ministers to invigilate the examination.

In two days, the scoring was completed and the top 10 were determined.

These ten people directly face the saint, and the emperor will assess and decide the champion.

Mo Xuan's written test score was still the first place, and soon it was time for the interview.

Mo Xuan was facing the saint for the first time, and he bowed together, and when he raised his head, he didn't dare to look directly at Tianwei.

"Lift up your head and let me see."

A majestic voice came, and the ten people who were lowered were shocked, and some of the timid ones trembled directly.

Mo Xuan's face was calm, although he couldn't look directly at the saint, he still looked ahead, without the slightest timidity.

The emperor's gaze swept over everyone one by one, pausing on everyone.

Swept over Mo Xuan, with a touch of scrutiny.

Before the interview, the family situation and background of several people were investigated, and the emperor was clear in his heart.

Mo Xuan is a classmate of the prince of the Hou Mansion, although he is a good friend, he has no contacts in terms of interests.

Although the emperor was dissatisfied with the Hou Mansion and taboo, he would not implicate others, so he treated Mo Xuan equally.

"I've been having a lot of trouble with the flooding of a city lately, I wonder if you have any suggestions?"

Coming, it seems to be small talk, but in fact it has already begun to come out.

From left to right, the candidates answer in turn.

Listening to my pertinent answers, the emperor did not say anything, and even his expression did not change.

Mo Xuan is the fifth.

"The grass people believe that, first, build dikes, use materials such as earth and wood, mobilize the power of the people, jointly protect their homes, prevent rivers from overflowing, and reduce the occurrence of floods."

"Second, the excavation of drainage canals, the excavation of rivers and irrigation canals, the flow of water is smooth, and the excavation can be carried out from higher ground to divert water into other places to protect the safety of farmland and residents."

"Third, when floods occur, save the source of water, sacrifice a small piece of housing and land, and keep most of it, but local officials do a good job of dismissing and relocating farmers."

"Fourth, build reservoirs, build dams on rivers, form reservoirs, regulate the flow of water, can store rainwater, provide water for the people and irrigation of farmland, reduce the occurrence of floods, and increase farmland yields."

"Fifth, set up a water conservancy management agency to be responsible for the planning, design, construction and management of water conservancy projects, collect professional personnel, conduct on-site surveys, and provide technical guidance to local personnel."

In fact, the people in front of me have more or less mentioned it, but it is not comprehensive, Mo Xuan said eight things in a row.

After saying it in one breath, the emperor's gaze at him finally changed, and the other candidates also looked at him strangely, thinking about these answers.

"What are you talking about reservoirs?"

The Emperor asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

"The reservoir ...... that the grass people say"

Mo Xuan explained the construction principle and application, and felt a deeper level of gratitude to the lady in his heart.

A few years ago, it was reported that the south was severely flooded, causing floods, flooding farmland and displacing people.

Mo Xuan inadvertently said a word to the lady, and I don't know what he thought at the time, he asked the lady some questions.

And the lady lived up to expectations and gave her a lot of advice, including the principle of the construction of the reservoir.

After Mo Xuan finished speaking, the emperor asked two more questions before letting him go.

Mo Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, this level was passed.

The candidates in the back also answered, but because Mo Xuan Zhuyu was in front, the others were confused and did not answer satisfactorily.

After a round, the emperor also had a preliminary impression of several people.

"The second question, how do you think about the issue of the people and the officials?"

……

There are a total of five questions, and those who answer well are more and more fluent, and the more they can grasp the key points.

Hearing Mo Xuan's final answer, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, this person is good, the answer is reasonable, and there are many practical and feasible points, especially the new views of the people and officials.

The people and officials are an inseparable whole, and officials need to be supported by the people as the premise in order to truly exercise power.

Officials need to deeply love the people, abide by their responsibilities for the people, be good at seeking strategies to enrich the people, do more things that benefit the people, and let the original mission take root and cast their souls.

The emperor looked at Mo Xuan, but he didn't expect that this time he personally invigilated the exam, and actually gave him a big surprise.

If the measures he proposed to control the floods are followed, the south can be kept safe within 10 years.

However, make sure that every step is actually in place.

It's a pity that I know my own affairs, and even the closest capital to the Son of Heaven is still a place that I can't see and can't fathom, and I can't take care of it when it's dark.

He wasn't sure how much he had left of his decree when he got there.

Every year, he will catch some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but unfortunately, the old ones disappear and there are new ones, which are endless.

In fact, it's okay, he is a Ming Jun and won't listen too much to slander, so he doesn't dare to act on Houhou Mansion.

I have the heart to press the momentum, but I don't want to be beaten to death with a stick, it is best to hurt my muscles and bones, but I can slow it down.

If the Hou Mansion is gone, there will be no checks and balances for the right minister.

The emperor was gloomy in his heart, this degree was really difficult to master.

The older generation of officials is deeply rooted in the court, he urgently needs a batch of fresh blood in his heart, and he is not anyone's vassal, he is definitely finally the emperor, finally the heavenly family, he can use it with confidence.

There are a total of ten people, and there are 7 of them who are really available, and three of them are older and less courageous.

The emperor was satisfied, "Gonggong Li, I am going to make a decree." ”

"Yes, Holy."

"Feng Moxuan is the champion, and the list is ......"

After reading the three names, Mo Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, he finally lived up to his wife and won the champion.

"Grass people, thank you to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live."

Ten people thanked each other, no matter how unconvinced they were, they could only hold back and hurry up to thank them.

Gonggong Li took the holy decree to the outside to announce the decree, and at the same time sent people to make a notice so that the world would know about it.

Then there is also the champion list to explore the flowers and parade the streets, allowing people to witness the demeanor of the three people.

There's a lot more to it.

"Pingshen, someone will tell you about your follow-up arrangements, remember to pay attention at any time, and pay attention to your own situation, don't do that foolish thing."

The emperor's voice came faintly, this was a warning to several people.

hasn't entered the court as an official yet, don't be in a hurry to stand in line, finally he is serious.

Everyone's hearts were in a pang, and they should be.

With the permission of grace, everyone stood up one after another, leaving only Mo Xuan still kneeling there.

The face is serious, the body is straight, and the faction is resolute.

The emperor was in a good mood, but he couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

Li Gonggong stood beside Mo Xuan fairly, "Zhuangyuanlang's legs are numb?" Do you want the old man to help you up? ”

I don't know what will happen to this person, but if I let it develop further, I might anger the Heavenly Family.

This is the champion of the new department, and even Gonggong Li is quite optimistic, thinking that he doesn't know the rules very well, so he can't help but remind him.

Mo Xuan smiled at him gratefully, "Your Majesty, the grass people have something to play!" ”
