Why marry someone when you are reborn?

After the fire, the next two days were calm and nothing happened.

But none of the candidates present slept well.

What happened last night made them unable to sleep well.

Xu Yun slept well - after all, the library was there and she didn't have to worry at all.

In a blink of an eye, it was the last game.

When Xu Yun got the test paper, he took a look at the questions and was stunned.

The last question was very bold: If you were the governor of Beiping City, how would you increase taxes without harming the people?

Translated into plain language, it means: You are the governor of Beiping City. How can you fill the national treasury while ensuring that the people can live and work in peace and contentment?

This question... makes people feel confused and have no idea where to start.

Not to mention that she had never thought about being the governor of Beiping City, just the second half of the sentence - taxation should be increased, but it should not be extorted from the people...

It's more than just a difficult word, isn't it?

Xu Yun stared at the question for a long time, really wanting to know who came up with this question.

However, no matter how difficult it is, you have to answer the question.

This time, Xu Yun didn't even know where to start when asking the library.

Finally, Xu Yun could only ask the library to search for "books related to taxation."

Library: "Sorry Xu Yun, your points level is not high enough to view the relevant books."

Xu Yun: …

Xu Yun hesitated for a moment and asked, "How about books on how to make money?"

This time the library responded.

But the titles of the books he searched for made Xu Yun despair: "One Hundred Ways to Make You Rich Quickly", "What's the Most Important Thing in Starting a Business", "100 Tips for Opening a Store or Stall", "The Secret to Becoming a Millionaire"...

Xu Yun asked a question: "Are all the authors of these books wealthy people?"

The library’s answer was: “None of those authors have become wealthy by writing books.”

The corners of Xu Yun's mouth twitched.

So, do you think a book written by a group of poor people to teach you how to get rich is useful?

Xu Yun took a deep breath and continued, "What about the books related to the national treasury?"

The library said: "Searching for you. A total of 1359 books were found, of which 986 books are not within the reading permission -"

"Search for the minister in the remaining books." Xu Yun didn't want to hear how much was left to read, after all, time was precious.

Library: "128 books left."

The number is too huge.

Xu Yun felt that it was impossible for him to finish reading so many books.

So, she thought about it and continued to simplify: "Search for something that benefits the country and the people."

Library: "38 books left."

"Please turn these articles over to ones that benefit the country and the people." Xu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had succeeded.

Then comes the routine bargaining.

Xu Yun finally redeemed the service with 38 points.

After a busy reading, Xu Yun had some ideas in mind.

But she did not leave the library in a hurry. Instead, she continued to think inside. Only when she had thought it through completely did she leave and start writing the draft.

In the eyes of others, Xu Yun was thinking like an old monk in meditation, and after thinking, he picked up the pen and started writing.

Xu Yun knew that time was limited, so he tried to keep the words as short as possible.

But even so, there were still a few sentences left to write and it was time to close the paper.

Xu Yun hesitated for a moment, but finally put down his pen and did not rush to finish the paper. Otherwise, the wet ink might stain the paper.

By then, you will give the examiner a bad first impression.

As for not finishing the work - although it has an impact, there should be quite a few that were not finished this time.

So Xu Yun thought it was okay.

After handing in the papers, candidates can pack up and leave the examination room.

Although he didn't suffer much during these three days, Xu Yun still felt a little dazed and tired.

There is even no strength in the soles of the feet - commonly known as weakness.

Xu Yun just wanted to go back, take a quick shower and have some sleep.

It was June, and although he didn't do much activity, he still sweated a lot. In addition, he hadn't taken a shower for more than two days, so Xu Yun felt like he was going rotten.

As soon as they left the Imperial Examination Hall, Wang Li and Chen Ku hurried over to help Xu Yun carry his luggage.

Seeing Xu Yun's haggard appearance, Wang Li and Chen Ku felt so distressed that they hurriedly asked Xu Yun to get on the carriage to rest.

However, before he reached the carriage, Lu An strode out.

Lu An is in good condition.

Apart from a little bit of dark blue under the eyes, his expression was a little haggard and he looked a little tired, there was really no other impact at all.

Lu An greeted Xu Yun with a smile, then said goodbye and hurried towards a couple.

Of the pair of women, the older one should be Lu An's mother, and the other one was probably Lu An's wife.

It's just that Lu An's wife doesn't look like the kind of capable woman who can do farm work. Instead, she is petite and looks like a little immature compared to the tall and strong Lu An.

Xu Yun suddenly understood why Lu An insisted on doing the work himself.

If he doesn't do it, he's afraid his wife will be exhausted.

Since they had all come out of the examination room, Xu Yun did not go forward to greet Lu An's family.

Lu An had no intention of introducing them, and hurriedly helped the two of them squeeze out of the crowd and go home.

Because of this delay, Zeng Wuji and Zhao Mu also came out one after another.

Zeng Wuji is better.

Zhao Mu's face was completely pale and his steps were unsteady, as if he was a consumptive patient.

From the beginning of the exam to now, Zhao Mu has lost a lot of weight and even looks a little unrecognizable - if he continues to take exams like this, Xu Yun thinks Zhao Mu will have a serious illness.

Zeng Wuji had also lost a lot of weight, but he was in much better shape than Zhao Mu. However, he looked listless and had no energy at the moment.

Both of them came over and greeted Xu Yun.

But they both understood each other and didn't get too close.

They all came from the same dormitory and understood each other's current situation.

Especially since Xu Yun was a girl, they were afraid of disturbing her and also afraid that Xu Yun would feel embarrassed if they smelled something.

Even though Zhao Mu was in such a state, he still reminded Xu Yun: "The exam is finally over. Go back and have a good rest. Eat something to cool down."

The dormitory is low and really stuffy.

Xu Yun responded and asked Zhao Mu to go back and have a good rest.

Zeng Wuji said listlessly: "When you guys recover, I'll treat you to a drink."

Xu Yun asked Zeng Wuji: "Have you finished answering all the questions?"

Zeng Wuji nodded and said, "I have answered all the questions. I will listen to you. If I encounter something I cannot write, I will just refer to your majesty's wisdom and how hard I should work and learn from the experience of my predecessors. As for the last question, I really couldn't explain it, so I just wrote that whoever has more money should pay taxes, and those who are more capable should work harder."

He gave up on himself: "I'm sure I won't be able to get in this time."

Xu Yun comforted him: "Who said that? The questions this time are so difficult, maybe everyone else will perform poorly, and then you will be able to move up."

Zeng Wuji seemed to have been reminded, his eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes, I will go back and burn incense to my ancestors, and ask them to bless the other candidates to perform poorly!"
