Just as Chen Fusheng was thinking about passing the time, he heard an old and loud voice from in front of him.

"In the second year of Daqi Guangxing, the Yichou Branch Hall Examination, start now!"

The person who said this was an old man over sixty years old, with white hair and a beam crown, although he was old, he did not have the appearance of an old dragon bell, and his momentum was as majestic as a mountain, and it was obviously the courage that he could only cultivate after ruling the world for many years.

In fact, just by looking at Wang Jiefu and Shen Yun, who were performing the junior rites next to him, and other court officials, you can easily guess his identity, which is the old minister Wen Yuanwen who was selected by the first emperor.

After Wen Xiangguo announced the opening of the examination for the emperor, Wang Jiefu, who followed closely in his identity, did not speak, and directly gave up to Xie Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

After a little excuse, Xie Song said loudly: "Candidates, the topic of today's examination is a strategy, the exam starts at the hour, and the paper is stopped at three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

This doesn't need him to explain, this palace exam is only half a day, and naturally it is impossible to be locked in the number room for several days like the township exam and the general exam, and the exam rules have long been remembered.

In fact, many people think that Wang Jiefu didn't want to say such nonsense, so he handed it over to Xie Song directly.

Once everyone is seated behind the exam table, the invigilator begins to hand out the questions and answer sheets.

The title is simple, just one sentence.

"The four industries of people's livelihood are based on agriculture, but those who chase the last ones eat meat and clothes, and the farmers have no place to put a cone, how to explain it?"

Even cultivators like Chen Fusheng, who didn't think much of this palace exam, frowned slightly when they saw this topic, not to mention other tribute students.

The topic is very simple, among the farmers and merchants, agriculture is the foundation of all, and the merchants are at the end.

But those merchants could spend silver like flowing water, wear silk clothes, and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. The peasants lived in great hardship, but they did not even have a place to live.

The topic obviously has two aspects: the first is about the status of agribusiness at the end of the day, and the second is the more serious land annexation.

Throughout the ages, most of the dynasties have had a clear vein.

Land.

Once it was first established, after years of war, the world was always full of devastation, and even thousands of miles without people.

Therefore, the emperors had to adopt the rule of Huang Lao who was "lightly taxed" and let it be natural.

After two or three generations, there will be a prosperous scene.

Then there is the prosperity and decline, one of the most important reasons is that the nobles of the family continue to increase the land in their hands through various means, and in the end, once there is a famine, the people who cannot fill their stomachs will rise up and launch a huge uprising, and most of the population will be consumed before peace can be restored again.

Round and round, round and forth, never stops.

The Great Qi Dynasty has been open for a hundred years, and it seems to be prosperous, but it is actually in danger inside, otherwise Wang Jiefu would not have braved the world's disapproval to advocate changing the law.

Aside from this seemingly never-solvable problem, the second one seems more straightforward.

The businessmen seem to be rich but have little political status, and the peasants, as the foundation of the society, live in such a difficult way.

The theory of the end of the world has been a topic of discussion for thousands of years, and it has seriously affected the stability of the world.

This young man listed the two most deep-rooted problems at the beginning, obviously not without his own considerations.

Chen Fusheng lowered his head and rolled his eyes slightly, and sure enough, the reactions of the Gongsheng when they saw this question suddenly became wonderful.

There is only one thought in everyone's mind.

"Sure enough, it's a young man, a newborn calf, and it looks like he's going to go dark on this road of changing the law. ”

This article is hard to do.

In addition to the two big questions, there are also two meanings.

The first layer is why this phenomenon happens.

Second, how to solve this problem.

Before this tribute, he put his limited time on studying, and it didn't make sense that the chores were light, and someone would definitely make some big jokes about the grains when he took them out.

Most of their knowledge of this comes from the books they have read. It's hard to write clearly.

What's more, in this short period of less than three hours, the limit of 2,000 words is limited.

However, although the Gongsheng were nervous, they were not too worried, after all, everyone who would test the top few papers had been carefully studied.

His Majesty the Emperor obviously has no intention of killing him with a stick, and no matter how he writes it, it is unlikely that he will offend Long Yan and fall off the list.

However, the quality of the results needs to be carefully figured out what the holy will is.

There is no doubt that the emperor himself is more inclined to Wang Jiefu's new law, although Chen Fusheng, who supported the change of the law, was selected in second place last time, but although it was also hand-picked by Xiao Zhang, after all, there was a layer of separation.

On top of the palace test, it is obviously better to follow the path of Wang Jiefu to please the emperor.

So they imitated Chen Fusheng's style of writing, made generous statements, and talked about changing the law.

Chen Fusheng, as the initiator, did not have such thoughts.

When he picked up the pen and was about to write an essay on the candidates with splendid flowers, Chen Fusheng felt a weight on his body.

This is dragon energy.

Chen Fusheng quickly made a judgment.

There are three kinds of dragons in this world.

The first is called the Celestial Dragon, also known as the Divine Dragon, the True Dragon. It is a race with great supernatural powers, and its numbers are scarce.

Then there is the earth dragon, specifically referring to the earth dragon vein.

The last one is the dragon among the people, the emperor of the human world and even the princes of one side, as long as the power reaches a certain level, its leader will naturally have the corresponding luck with him, and to some extent, he can even suppress the magic spells in turn, just like the literary spirit of the Gongyuan. Otherwise, wouldn't those cultivators be unscrupulous?

As the owner of the entire Great Qi, Xiao Zhang can almost be called invincible to all evils in this palace.

As the second place who successfully passed the exam, Chen Fusheng didn't feel anything at all, but when Xiao Zhang's eyes fell on him, he immediately reacted.

It's just that unlike the suppression of the township test and the meeting test, Chen Fusheng felt a sense of favor this time.

Obviously, Xiao Zhang, a young genius, has extremely high expectations for Chen Fusheng, who is the same age as him.

It was not only Xiao Zhang who was paying attention to Chen Fusheng, but also Shen Yun, Xie Song, and Wang Jiefu, and even Wen Yuan turned his gaze, and in comparison, Hui Yuanfang seemed a little redundant.

Obviously, they also wanted to know what Chen Fusheng could write this time.

"It's a big trouble now," Chen Fusheng didn't expect that the article would cause such a big reaction, and suddenly made him the target of public criticism.

It seems that if he rashly changes his style, Xiao Zhang will obviously cause more trouble, and Shilinzhong's reputation may be greatly damaged, and not only will the old party not accept him, but the new party may also see him as a traitor.

It will never last long in the officialdom, let alone people's thoughts.

What's more, although Chen Fusheng was originally a cultivator, he didn't like to cause trouble, but he was not afraid of being in the limelight.

Thinking of this, Chen Fusheng had already made up his mind.
