Maid, Little Lucky Wife

In March, it was time for the imperial examination.

A total of 100 people participated in the palace examination. They answered two test papers in order.

At this time, the emperor sent a close minister to supervise the exam.

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

These ten people directly met the emperor and were evaluated by the emperor to determine the top candidate.

Mo Xuan's written test score was still No. 1, and the interview soon came.

It was the first time for Mo Xuan to meet the Holy Spirit and he knelt down together. When he raised his head, he did not dare to look directly at Tianwei.

"Look up and let me see."

A majestic voice came, and the ten people below were shocked, and the timid one trembled directly.

Mo Xuan's face was calm. Although he could not look directly at the Holy Lord, he still looked forward without any fear.

The emperor's eyes scanned everyone one by one, pausing on each person.

Scanning Mo Xuan's body, there was an extra layer of scrutiny.

Before the interview, several people's family situations and origins were investigated, and the emperor knew everything.

Mo Xuan is a classmate of the prince of the Hou family. Although they are good friends, they have no interest-related contacts.

Although the emperor is dissatisfied and jealous of the Hou Mansion, he will not implicate other people, so he will treat Mo Xuan equally.

"I've been having a lot of trouble with the flooding in the city recently. Do you guys have any suggestions?"

Here we are, it seems like we are just chatting, but actually we have started to ask questions.

From left to right, candidates answered in turn.

Listening to the pertinent answers given to me one by one, the emperor did not make any remarks, and even his expression did not change.

Mo Xuan is the fifth.

"The grassroots people believe that, first, build dikes and use materials such as earth, stone, and wood to mobilize the people's power to jointly protect their homes, prevent river flooding, and reduce the occurrence of floods."

"Second, dig drainage canals, rivers and irrigation canals to ensure smooth water flow. They can be excavated from higher ground and divert water to other places to protect the safety of farmland and residents."

“Third, when floods occur, we must cut back on sources and open up flows, sacrificing a small piece of land for housing and retaining most of it, but local officials will do a good job in demobilizing and resettling farmers.”

“Fourth, build reservoirs and dams on rivers to form reservoirs and regulate water flow, which can store rainwater, supply water to people and farmland irrigation, 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 professionals, conduct on-site surveys, and provide technical guidance to local personnel."

In fact, the previous people have mentioned it to some extent, but it is not comprehensive. Mo Xuan talked about eight items.

After finishing speaking in one breath, the emperor's eyes finally changed when he looked at him, and the other candidates also looked at him strangely, thinking about these answers.

"What reservoir are you talking about?"

The emperor asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

"The reservoir that the grassroots talked about..."

Mo Xuan explained the construction principles and applications, and he felt a deeper gratitude to his wife.

A while ago, there were reports of serious floods in the south, causing floods. Farmland was flooded and people were displaced.

Mo Xuan accidentally said something to his wife, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the time. He asked her some questions.

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

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

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

The candidates behind also answered, but because Mo Xuan Zhuyu was in front, the others were confused and their answers were not satisfactory.

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

"Second question, how do you think about the issue between people and officials?"

……

There are five questions in total. If you answer them well, you will become more fluent and able to grasp the key points.

Hearing Mo Xuan's final answer, the emperor nodded happily. He was a good man. His answers were well-founded and practical, especially the new viewpoints he put forward between people and officials.

The people and officials are an inseparable whole, and officials need the support of the people as a premise before they can truly exercise their power.

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

The emperor looked at Mo Xuan and did not expect that he would give him a big surprise when he personally proctored the exam.

If the measures he proposed to control floods are followed, the south will be safe within ten years.

However, make sure every step is done accurately.

It's a pity that I know my own business, and even the capital, which is closest to the emperor, still has some places that I can't see and touch, and I can't even take care of it at the moment.

He was really not sure how much of his decree would be left when he got there.

He would catch some corrupt officials every year, but unfortunately, the old ones disappeared and there were new ones, it was endless.

In fact, it was okay. He was a wise king and would not listen too much to slander, so he did not dare to take action against the Hou Mansion.

I want to suppress the momentum, but I don't want to kill him with a stick. It's better to hurt my muscles and bones, but I can recover slowly.

If the Hou Mansion is gone, the right prime minister will have no one to check and balance.

The emperor felt sad, this speed was really hard to control.

The older generation of officials has deep roots in the court. He urgently needs a group of fresh blood in his heart, and he is not someone's vassal. He will definitely end up with the emperor and the Tian family. He can use it with confidence.

There are ten people in total, and seven of them are actually usable. Three of them are older and less courageous.

The emperor was satisfied and said, "Eunuch Li, prepare a decree."

"Yes, my lord."

"Feng Mo Xuan is ranked number one, second on the list..."

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

"Common people, thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

The ten people thanked him together. No matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only hold it in and thank them quickly.

Eunuch Li took the imperial edict and went outside to announce it. At the same time, he sent people to make announcements to let the world know.

Then there will be a parade of the No. [-] and No. [-] picks, allowing people to witness the elegance of the three of them.

There are many more things.

"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 such stupid things."

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

He has not yet entered the court as an official, so don't rush to take sides. Finally, he is the serious one.

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they all responded.

After receiving the permission, everyone stood up one after another, leaving only Mo Xuan still kneeling there.

His face was serious, his body straight and determined.

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

Eunuch Li stood right next to Mo Xuan, "Young Scholar, your legs are numb? Do you want me to help you up?"

I don’t know what will happen to this person. If my intuition is allowed to develop further, it may anger the Tian family.

This is the new champion, and even Eunuch Li is very optimistic about it. He thinks he doesn't understand the rules, so he can't help but remind him.

Mo Xuan smiled gratefully at him, "Your Majesty, the common people have something to report!"
