Quickly wear! Bind to the scumbag transformation system

"First one, Chen Kuang, you answer the question."

Chen Kuang has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is not very knowledgeable. He was very happy that Enke could go to the Huangji Palace this time. At this moment, he was a little nervous and said:

"Students believe that people should be evacuated in advance when floods occur, so as to minimize casualties among the people."

This answer is quite standard and has no special features. There is not much discussion about the civil and military officials. You should know that the most interesting part of the Dai Viet military candidate's essay is the last one.

Not only is the policy essay the most important part of the exam, it is also the one that is most likely to spark discussion, as the questions are all about issues related to national and local governance.

At this time, the reactions of all the civil and military officials in the court represent your achievements.

Chen Kuang felt a little disappointed and walked back to his seat.

At this time, the emperor tilted his head slightly and whispered: "Father, is this strong man very educated? Why does he seem not nervous at all?"

"He is heartless"

As Xie Lian spoke, he looked at Yan Kuan who was cheering Chen Kuang up with his eyes and found it funny. Did he know why he was here?

Cui Jue glanced at Chen Kuang beside him with disdain, stepped forward respectfully and saluted, "I have the answer."

The secretary raised his hand and said, "Please answer."

Cui Jue tried his best to straighten his back, put one hand behind his back, and said righteously:

"Dai Viet suffers from floods several times a year. The imperial court should issue flood control decrees, allowing prefectures and county offices to deploy personnel, and officials from all regions to actively participate in flood control and disaster relief. This will ensure that the people can get through the flood period smoothly to the greatest extent possible."

As soon as this answer came out, all the officials began to discuss it.

"This is a good answer. Only if officials step up their efforts and allocate manpower properly can we get through it in an orderly manner before it comes."

"Yes, this answer is better than Chen Kuang's."

Cui Jue was somewhat pleased with himself, and he saluted again in a humble manner: "I have another answer, which is to ensure that the disaster situation is accurately reported and to severely punish officials who conceal the disaster situation."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the officials sighed that Cui Jue had a good idea. The current prime minister advocated governing the country with severe punishments in times of chaos, and this answer catered to the prime minister's thinking. It was really smart!

"Yes, the Prime Minister's achievements are obvious to all. Who can say that it is wrong to severely punish officials who make mistakes?"

Suddenly, there were satisfied voices of "good answer" from among the officials.

Xie Lian sat high up in the hall, his face indifferent, as if he was not very satisfied with this answer that flattered him. All the officials looked at him and their voices gradually faded.

Cui Yuzhi retreated unwillingly, the smug look on his face gone.

The secretary looked at Yan Kuan and said, "Finally, Yan Kuan will answer."

Yan Kuan took a step forward and bowed:

"My name is Yan Kuan. I think what you two said just now makes sense. Relocating the people and issuing policies are mutually supportive and indispensable."

"Is not this nonsensical?"

"That's right, this answer is too opportunistic, it's equivalent to plagiarizing the answers of the previous two people."

Cui Jue and his father Cui Hao looked at each other, and disdain flashed in their eyes.

Xie Lian’s expression remained unchanged, but his hands clenched tightly in his sleeves. He thought about what to say, but saw Yan Kuan confidently say:

"I have one more question, I haven't finished answering yet."

Cui Hao, who had just complained the most, was choked and said angrily: "Okay, then tell me what answer you have."

“Before I give the answer, I would like to ask a question first.”

"May I ask you, sirs, why do most people die every time there is a flood?"

Zhou Nan, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, stood up with a serious face and said: "Of course it is because of the famine after the flood, most people starved to death."

Thinking of the number of people who died of starvation reported by the disaster counties, the faces of several ministers turned ugly. Some displeased asked Yan Kuan: "Why are you asking this?"

Yan Kuan bowed and replied: "Although what the two scholars said just now is correct, it can only prevent the people from being affected by the disaster, and it cannot solve the fundamental problem. Once the flood is over, there will be starving people everywhere. Grain merchants will raise prices, and the people will not be able to afford food, so they will not be able to survive the disaster year. But is it true?"

That’s right, the relief grain from the imperial court was not enough to cover the needs of so many people, and the prices offered by grain merchants remained high. Several attempts to control prices even caused a rebound. This has always been the most difficult problem for the imperial court.

"What? Do you have a plan to deal with it?" Zhou Nan saw that Yan Kuan was a handsome man and couldn't help but think that he might really have a plan to deal with it.

"Using industry to boost business, only when people have jobs can they safely get through the disaster period. Those unscrupulous and unscrupulous businessmen will naturally not miss this opportunity to hire a large number of cheap laborers."

When the officials heard this, they talked about it. Some agreed, while others said it was just talk. For a moment, the Huangji Palace was as lively as a vegetable market.

"Quiet"

Xie Lian said these two words calmly, and all the officials quickly put their hands down and stood still, not daring to say another word.

Xie Lian turned his gaze towards Yan Kuan: “If the grain merchants refuse to lower the price, and they won’t give the people jobs, what’s the solution?”

"This is even easier. The imperial court only needs to control them and prevent them from lowering prices. Naturally, grain merchants from other places will enter the disaster area. At that time, they will be in a dilemma and will naturally let it go."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the cabinet ministers and several ministers lit up and they looked at Yan Kuan in disbelief.

"Prime Minister, it's feasible. Why didn't you think of it earlier?"

"Yes, Mr. Yan's idea is very good."

All the officials changed their attitudes and praised him endlessly. Xie Lian’s eyes flashed with admiration:

"Inspector of the City, please follow Mr. Yan's instructions and ask that the grain price in An County be reduced within ten days at most."

"I obey your command."

When he walked out of the palace, Yan Kuan still felt a little elated. Had he really become the top martial arts scholar?

It’s not a dream!

He pinched his thigh hard. Tsk, it really hurt.

The corners of Yan Kuan's mouth were almost cracked to the back of his ears. He wanted to bring honor to his family, so he decided to write a letter to his parents back home as soon as he got back to make them happy too.

"Brother Yan, wait for me"

Chen Kuang walked up to Yan Kuan from behind with an excited look on his face, and said with a cupped hand: "Congratulations, Brother Yan, for being the top scorer in the imperial examination. Congratulations to you."

Yan Kuan lifted his arm and said righteously, "We are brothers, there is no need to be polite. I also want to congratulate you on becoming a city patrol officer and wish you a smooth career."

Speaking of this, Chen Kuang paused and said, "Then Brother Yan, why haven't you been appointed yet?"

Even Cui Jue, who came in second, got a job in the Ministry of Revenue, but Yan Kuan, the top scorer, didn't even get an official position.

Upon hearing this, Yan Kuan saw that the officials who were leaving the court were standing by, so he deliberately said loudly:

"Hey, there have been several murders in the capital, and the Prime Minister has ordered me to accompany him to investigate the case. Once this matter is resolved, the Prime Minister will naturally make arrangements for me."

Chen Kuang was a straightforward person, and he was immediately happy for Yan Kuan.

Yan Kuan thought about the task Xie Lian had given him and patted Chen Kuang on the shoulder: "Let's go, I'll take you to celebrate."

At night, when the lights come on, street vendors in the capital are still hawking their wares.

In the study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xie Lian angrily threw the scroll in his hand to the ground:

"What, you said he went to Cuiwei Pavilion!"
