Traveling through books: Traveling through time with a golden finger to become a soft rice man

Everyone sat in front of the desk and lowered their heads to calculate the answer. Before they could think about it, Yang Yuanzu had already calculated the answer and handed it to the eunuch.

The eunuch handed the answer to the arithmetic officer, who nodded to the emperor.

The emperor asked Yang Yuanzu: "Who is the name of the person Your Highness is referring to, and where is his place of origin?"

Yang Yuanzu, who was kneeling on the ground, answered honestly: "The candidate's name is Yang Yuanzu, and he is from Fengping Village, Shunxing County!"

"This sounds very familiar to me." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the eunuch whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, this man is the inventor of fertilizer and the four farm treasures. In addition, this man also discovered sweet potatoes and Potato farming.”

"He is an agricultural talent." The emperor sighed after listening to the meeting, and then ordered: "Go and find his examination papers."

After a while, the chief eunuch presented Yang Yuanzu's examination paper. The emperor opened the examination paper and looked at it. The question he asked this time was how to stabilize the monarchy. Yang Yuanzu's answers were all about ways to develop the country.

The emperor read them one by one. The methods were all good, and he even used many examples to explain in detail the use and effectiveness of these methods. However, it was somewhat inconsistent with the title of this monarchy, so no wonder he only got sixth.

If the methods on the examination paper were used in the Daning Dynasty, I believe their national power would at least double. But he is old now. If these good methods had been developed decades earlier, they would really be good ways to govern the country.

No matter how good the method was, it was useless to him now, but the content in the examination paper was really exciting. The emperor couldn't help but continue reading. Finally, it was not until the end of the article that he saw that a strong country will consolidate the monarch's power. He also added a few sentences at the end. Flatter him.

This candidate was very popular with him. If the sixth place was so good, the top five must be even more outstanding. So he ordered the eunuchs to find all the test papers for the top five.

The eunuch didn't dare to slack off after receiving the order, so he quickly found the top five test papers.

The emperor opened the first-place test paper with great expectations, but was disappointed. Although the article was beautifully written and the handwriting was good, there was no new idea in the content.

The emperor then opened other test papers, and the contents were similar. They were all words he had said to the courtiers before but expressed in a different way. They also stated the system that was currently implemented and mentioned some things on the original system. The improvement opinions are completely different from what Yang Yuanzu wrote, which is completely new.

Looking at the clans of these candidates, they all have inextricable relationships with the officials within the imperial court. They are either direct lineages or direct lineages, and there are even collateral lines outside the fifth server. They are doing it secretly. These people really think that he is old and confused. .

Looking below the palace, it takes a long time to calculate just one arithmetic question. If Yang Yuanzu hadn't calculated the question first, he probably wouldn't have noticed Yang Yuanzu today.

What the emperor and Yang Yuanzu didn't know was that this sixth test paper had passed through the hands of several people.

First, the marking officer judged Yang Yuanzu's test paper as a failure because of missing questions.

Secondly, when reviewing the failed examination papers, the review examiner accidentally found Yang Yuanzu's examination paper on the top of the case. After reading it, he felt that the content inside was actually a good strategy for governing the country, so he picked up Yang Yuanzu's examination paper again, intending to judge it. After thinking about the result of the second-class examination paper, I decided to give it a third-class result.

During the final review, the examiner was greatly amazed when he saw the good strategies for governing the country in the examination paper, and the theory of governing the country is to stabilize the monarchy was very eye-catching. It seemed that he had found his direction again after being lost for a long time. Why did he care about the disputes in the court? As long as he put his thoughts It is enough to focus on managing the country well and making the people live a good life.

It's just a pity that this paper was graded as a third-class paper, so with a wave of his hand, he changed the paper to a second-class and sixth-class paper. (The first three are first class, the fourth to ninth are second class)

While the emperor was reading the test paper, the students below were sweating profusely doing arithmetic questions. It was okay to ask them to write articles, but arithmetic was too difficult, and arithmetic had never appeared in the imperial examination questions over the years. Today The test questions were also unexpected by them.

The arithmetic officer looked at the struggling people and smiled with disdain in his heart. It was rare to meet the Holy Emperor once, so the arithmetic problem he brought was the essence of the wisdom of everyone in their fortune telling pavilion.

If there are 32 boxes, put 1 stone in the first box, 2 stones in the second box, 4 stones in the third box, 4 stones in the fourth box, and so on, how many stones are in the last box? ?

How can ordinary people like you calculate the answer so easily? Thinking of this, the arithmetic officer looked at Yang Yuanzu who was kneeling on the ground. He must be able to calculate the answer in such a fast time. This person must be not simple!

Their arithmetic officer had been studying all day long and had only reached the 32nd box. When he went down to the palace to try it back, he would only find the 33rd box.

The arithmetic officer continued to enjoy the feeling at this moment superiorly. This feeling that everyone was fooling him was so good. However, before the arithmetic officer had time to enjoy it for a long time, he was awakened by the news coming from the group of candidates, and saw only one beautiful candidate. Handed over the answer.

This examinee must be so beautiful. The eunuch who passed the examination paper couldn't help but look at the other person's eyebrows. If there were no pregnancy moles, he looked at the ends of the eyes, cheeks and other places.

In addition, this candidate is also short. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the height of a young man.

The candidate frowned when he saw the eunuch looking at him several times without any expression on his face. He hated others commenting on his appearance the most in his life.

Yang Yuanzu also took a look, but what he was thinking was, could this person be a woman disguised as a man or a young man disguised as a man to take part in the imperial examination?

Then I thought about it and thought it was impossible. The body search during the palace selection process was extremely strict.

Everyone suspected that the same was true for the Infinite Emperor. It was the first time for him to see such a handsome and handsome man, who looked like a little brother.

Yang Yuanzu accidentally saw the emperor's curious eyes, and it turned out that the emperor also had gossip thoughts.

The arithmetic officer looked at the test paper handed over by the beautiful candidate, confirmed the answer and nodded to the emperor.

The emperor waited for another moment. During this time, only one candidate in the back row could calculate the answer. The emperor decided not to wait any longer and said, "The rest of the candidates who have not calculated the answer are all second-class candidates."

"You must not be so hasty! Your Majesty!" The cabinet bachelor who accompanied the imperial examination immediately stood up after hearing this.

Seeing that the emperor looked unmoved, he lifted his official robe and knelt down and continued: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination has always given priority to literature. I'm afraid it is against etiquette and ancestral rules to select scholars based on arithmetic!"

The emperor chuckled and said nonchalantly: "I have already passed all the exams that need to be taken. A bachelor doesn't have to be so rigid."

The person who took the examination was indeed literary, and he was the best selected from various places, but he was not willing to make wedding clothes for others.

He never expected that after eliminating those candidates with outstanding literature, he would benefit the three people in front of him. It seems that his subordinates are too lax in their work. Let's see how he will deal with them when he goes back!
