Chapter 349
There are nine states in Northwest Prefecture, and each state has nine to thirteen counties, a total of one hundred and five counties.

After the annual state examination, scholars from all over the country go to Fucheng to take part in the annual state examination.

As the prefect of Northwest Prefecture, he will serve as the examiner of the prefecture examination, and he will also be responsible for the examination questions.

"The questions in previous exams are almost the same and have little practical significance."

After looking at the previous test papers, Chen Yu pondered for a while, and then began to write questions for the government test.

"Arithmetic is very useful. People who don't know how to do arithmetic are not qualified to be Juren."

“No matter how good the poems are, what’s the use to a person who doesn’t distinguish between grains and grains?”

"People with rigid thinking, don't want to be rigid in doing things!"

In less than half an hour, Chen Yu worked out twelve questions, and then threw them to the master.

"Master Hou, will this, will this be?" Ma Wencai asked in astonishment after looking at the deviant test questions.

"I'm the magistrate of the Northwest Prefecture. What to test in the government is entirely up to me. There are no regulations in the laws of Daxia. What kind of exam questions must I ask, right?" Chen Yu said nonchalantly.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty will look at the examination questions of all the prefectures. If this is the case, he will definitely be impeached by the censor." Ma Wencai said.

"Why should you care about something harmless?" Chen Yu asked back.

"Master Hou, among the hundreds of talented people who participated in the government examination this time, few of them will pass the exam." Ma Wencai said thoughtfully.

"It would be better to lack than to waste. After this government examination is over, I will build a college in the city to cultivate real talents, so as not to be left with a bunch of trash who only know how to recite poems and make the people have no enough food to eat and no warmth." Chen Yu said.

Three days later, more than 800 scholars came to the examination room one after another.

"There's no need to check, just let them in," Ma Wencai said.

"Master Ma, this?" Zheng Zaifei, the pawn, said hesitantly. In the previous government exams, candidates had to check whether the candidates had included documents. If they didn't check this time, if someone cheated, they would not be able to escape.

"The magistrate said that there is no need to check, no nonsense, and let them enter the examination room." Ma Wencai said in a deep voice. The examination questions this time are far from the previous examination questions. Even if those candidates are allowed to cheat, who can cheat?
Hearing that there is no need to check, many candidates were overjoyed, and followed the people in front, and walked in one by one.

"Send out the abacus." Ma Wencai said.

Each yamen servant carried a basket of abacus and distributed it to each candidate.

"Why do you still have to give out the abacus? Is it going to be an arithmetic test this time?"

"It's over, it's over, the thing I'm worst at is arithmetic."

"I'm going to fail again this time. Hey, my luck is too bad!"

Seeing that the yamen servant gave me an abacus, more than [-]% of the candidates suddenly smiled wryly.

"There are only twelve questions in this government examination, and the examination time is two hours." After Chen Yu finished speaking, he asked the government servant to distribute the examination papers.

In the previous government examination, the examination time lasted for three days. From the beginning of the examination to the end of the examination, candidates could only stay in the examination room.

Looking at the test papers in their hands, the examinees couldn't help exclaiming: "Aren't these questions too weird? There are no poems yet?"

"Now that the exam begins, anyone who whispers to each other will be regarded as cheating." Chen Yu said loudly. In the past, others were proctoring him, but now he was proctoring others. An unprecedented and wonderful feeling filled his heart.

In the Great Xia Palace, in the Imperial Study Room.

"Your Majesty, when the Marquis of the Northwest was recruiting private soldiers, none of our Eagle Guards were chosen by him," Xu Fu said.

"Why?" Zhou Ming asked in confusion.

"It is said that the Northwest Marquis has learned physiognomy. When he selects private soldiers, he only looks at the opponent's face to see if it is beneficial to him. It seems to be called the selection of soldiers by the method of physiognomy." Xu Fu said half-understood.

"Tell me about the people selected by the Northwest Marquis." Zhou Ming asked again.

"Aged from fifteen to thirty, more than 30 people came from peasant households, more than 400 people came from commercial households, and more than [-] were juniors from the families of government servants, police officers, and soldiers in the Northwest Prefecture." Xu Fu said.

"What are those private soldiers of the Northwest Marquis doing?" Zhou Ming asked again.

"The five hundred private soldiers were making soap and perfume all day long," Xu Fu said.

"Not doing business properly." Zhou Ming said.

"The Marquis of the Northwest said that the city is very safe and private soldiers can be used with or without combat capability. Money is needed to build a fiefdom," Xu Fu explained.

Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Pay close attention to the situation in the Northwest Mansion."

Seven innate level powerhouses, even if he is the Great Xia Emperor, he still has a lot of pressure.

"My minister obeys the order." Xu Fu nodded in response.

At the same time, the left and right prime ministers were in their respective mansions, discussing matters with their subordinates in the Northwest Mansion.

"Dong dong dong!" After several sounds, Ma Wencai shouted: "The exam is over, all candidates should hand in their papers immediately!"

"It's over, it must be over now, I only answered three questions."

"Die, I will definitely fail the exam this time."

"If tomorrow's government examination has these few test questions again, I'm afraid I will fail to pass the exam!"

"Brothers, why don't you go to another house to take the imperial examination next year?"

"After 30 years of hard work, there is still no hope of winning."

After the examinees handed in their test papers one by one, you walked out without saying a word.

"The government affairs will be left to you. I will personally review the papers!" Chen Yu said.

"Yes, magistrate!" Zhao Zhiyuan, Ma Wencai, and Zheng Zaifei nodded in response.

When they were in Fuya, the three called him Mr. Chen or Mr. Zhifu, and they called him Lord Hou the rest of the time.

Returning to the Chen Mansion, he walked into the study room and with a quick glance, Chen Yu read over 800 test papers.

"Choosing the best from the poor is not easy, forget it, just pick a few from the inside."

Picking up a brush of suitable length and size, dipped it in the ink, and Chen Yu corrected the test paper with movements like wind.

After correcting all the nine selected test papers, he corrected the remaining unqualified test papers.

According to his standards, none of the candidates who took the government examination this time were qualified.

Either he is too poor at arithmetic, he cannot distinguish between grains, or his thinking is rigid.
Passing the government examination means raising people and can be appointed to official positions. However, only with both ability and political integrity can one party benefit.

It is obviously not possible to let a person who is not good at arithmetic become the governor of a certain county!
Three days later in the afternoon, Chen Yu handed the test paper and list to Ma Wencai, and then said: "The list will be released tomorrow morning."

"Master Chen, there are only nine people?" Ma Wencai asked incredulously.

"According to my standard, none of them passed the test, but the nine of them have the best results in this government examination." Chen Yu said.

In the early morning of the next day, dozens of yamen servants beat the gongs and walked through the streets, shouting the news of the release of the list.

The candidates who had been waiting impatiently rushed to the government office.

"Why are there only nine people?" a scholar asked doubtfully.

"The prefect said that except for the nine people above, the rest are unqualified." Zheng Zaifei said loudly.

"Hahahahaha, I hit it, I actually hit it."

"He can win the lift, why didn't I win?"

"I am much better than him in terms of poetry and current affairs. Why?"

"Brothers, are you willing to follow me to the capital?"

"This exam question deviates from the scriptures, otherwise, I will definitely win the exam!" All the candidates discussed.

"Master Ma, do you want to arrest all the troublemakers?" Zheng Zaifei asked in a low voice.

"I'll ask the magistrate first, you stay here and watch." Ma Wencai said.

"Yes, Lord Ma." Zheng Zaifei nodded in response.

Seeing the other party walking in, Chen Yu asked with a flustered expression, "What's the matter?"

"There are many candidates who are dissatisfied with the results of this government examination and plan to go to the capital to sue Lord Hou." Ma Wencai said.

"It's just a group of ants who don't know what they can do. I don't care about it this time." Chen Yu said indifferently.
