The whole city knows we are locked

In the end, Shen Yu owed his classmate Taixue a congratulations.

Although the classmate was a little disappointed, he still comforted himself by saying that Shen Yu is restrained and doesn't like to show off. Now that he can tell him that he has a low-key engagement, he is already a friend, so he can't ask for anything else.

Yan Chuyin stood on her carriage and looked towards the Gongyuan.He asked his servants to occupy the seat in advance, and the carriage stopped at a very conspicuous place, so that Shen Yu could see him as soon as he walked out of the Gongyuan!

But Yan Chuyin ignored one point.

Since Shen Yu could see him at a glance, the other scholars who came out of the tribute courtyard could also see him at a glance!He was still standing on the carriage, making himself a bit taller, the most important thing is that the emblem on the carriage is also very recognizable!

So, while Shen Yu was still queuing to go out, Yan Chuyin was surrounded by other candidates first.

The first candidate to come around was named Mei.This Mei examinee recognized Xin Lehou at a glance, and the reason why he surrounded him without thinking was that he had no intention of flirting with him, it was simply because he was grateful to Xin Lehou!

In the early two years, he was always addicted to reading and forgot to eat. After a long time, he developed a stomach problem. He could not eat cold and hard food, and it hurt when he ate.During the earlier exams, everyone brought their own dry food, and he was no exception.As for dry food, in order to store it well and prevent it from going moldy, there is nothing that is not hard!On the last day of each exam, his stomach hurts badly, and he persisted until the end with willpower. When he left the exam room, he was sweating profusely and could barely walk.

But this time!Because of Xin Lehou's proposal, the examination room provided fresh meals. Candidate Mei gritted his teeth and decided to trust Xin Lehou, so he did not bring dry food into the examination room. Come to the hall.The pancake was made of high-quality white flour, soft and delicious, which suits his taste very well.

Thanks to the fresh food, Candidate Mei did not fall ill at all this time!

People who have never had a stomachache can't imagine the pain at all, as if someone was poking hard at his stomach with an awl.As long as you get sick once, you will have to take care of it for a long time.Candidate Mei was terrified.So when he walked out of the examination room this time in good health, he couldn't even mention how grateful he was to Yan Chuyin.Xin Lehou is his benefactor!God was helping him, Yan Chuyin was standing in the most conspicuous place outside the tribute courtyard, and he saw it at a glance!

Examinee Mei could no longer restrain the gratitude in his heart, and couldn't wait to express his gratitude to his benefactor.

Candidate Mei said loudly: "Student Mei Shanyan pays homage to Xinle Hou Dayi!"

As soon as the sound came out, Yan Chuyin was still in a daze, and all the other candidates heard it.Like Mei Shanyan, some candidates were also very grateful for Yan Chuyin's proposal; some candidates felt that this was a good opportunity to show their faces in front of Xin Lehou, and they must not let it go; some candidates were in between.They all surrounded.

Soon, Yan Chuyin's carriage was surrounded by people.This one said that the student so-and-so was grateful to you, Master Hou, and the other said that the student so-and-so had admired you for a long time, Yan Chuyin knew for the first time that she had such a good popularity among scholars!He is a little anxious, you can just put your gratitude in your heart, let it all go away!

Shen Yu is coming out soon!You stopped me from picking up Shen Yu!

However, Yan Chuyin's momentum was quite strong now, and more and more people surrounded her.

When Shen Yu came out, there were so many people between him and Yan Chuyin that Shen Yu couldn't squeeze through.But at this time, Shen Yu also found that his sleeve was being pulled by someone, and that person was pulling him to squeeze in the opposite direction.When he got out of the crowd, he saw that the person who was teasing him was the student from Taixue who said congratulations to him.The classmate said: "Brother Shen, it's too late for me to hold you back, otherwise you will be wrapped by the crowd and squeezed towards Xinlehou...see you soon...go!"

Shen Yu: "..."

If you don't pull me, I've already seen him!

The classmate didn't feel that he had done something bad with good intentions, turned around and looked at the crowd, and said in awe: "So everyone is so grateful to Xin Lehou...We can't squeeze in, and we can't express our gratitude to Xin Lehou in person. How about writing a hymn to Xin Lehou? Hahaha, the meatloaf tastes really good!"

Yan Chuyin was afraid that Shen Yu had been waiting outside for a long time, which would not be conducive to rest, so she had to whisper to the servants to take Shen Yu away first when they got out of the crowd.He was here to appease everyone, and said some righteous words on the spot, to the effect that what he did was nothing, and he was not worthy of everyone's gratitude. Everyone has studied hard for many years, and it is really hard work. I hope everyone can The title of the gold list will contribute to the emperor, the court, and the people in the future.

All the scholars present were full of emotions, and their eyes on Yan Chuyin became more and more enthusiastic.

When the crowd gradually dispersed, the boy came back and said that he had sent Shen Yu back to the prime minister's mansion, and the imperial doctor took the pulse and said it was all right.Yan Chuyin sighed and said, "Forget it, after all three exams are over, I'll find a chance to meet him again."

This Gongyuan can't come again, and it is estimated that it will be besieged once again.

Xin Lehou appeared outside the Tribute Academy, surrounded by grateful examinees, and the news spread quickly.In people's mouths, the reason why Xin Lehou appeared was because he wanted to ask the candidates how the food provided in the examination room was at the first time. This is an expression of caring for the candidates!And the examinees were grateful to him, which proved that Xin Lehou's proposal was good!When the word reached the ears of those patriarchs who donated silver, they were all extremely proud.

Parents always say they are useless?This time they couldn't help showing off in front of their parents again and again: "Didn't you ask me where the money went? I told you that I have done great things, and you still don't believe it!"

"I am no longer Amon under Wu! Don't look at me with old eyes!"

"Why didn't Xinle ask us to go together? Since we donated money, although it wasn't much money, it took me more than half a year's monthly exam... We should also ask if the food in the examination room is good, and I didn't ask me to waste money !"

……

When the news reached the ears of the emperor, the emperor was discussing matters with the prince.

The person who reported the news knew how much the emperor valued Yan Chuyin, so he naturally lifted Yan Chuyin high during the report, saying how responsible Yan Chuyin was, how much he cared about the candidates, and how grateful the candidates were to him...

The prince listened, his face was a little weird, and he couldn't help laughing.

The emperor looked over, and the prince hurriedly said: "Yinnu has really grown up, I am very happy. Well, I am all because of happiness!" I definitely can't tell the emperor that the reason why Yinu went to the Gongyuan is He didn't have so many complicated thoughts at all, he just wanted to take Shen Yu back.This must not be known to the father.

After all, this is Yin Nu's secret!How can a big brother talkatively tell his elders his secrets?

emperor:"……"

I know everything!Yin Nu must have run to pick up Shen Yu!

The emperor hypocritically said: "I also feel relieved."

"Yes, yes." The prince smiled.

After the father and son "acted" back and forth, they set the tone for this matter.On the morning of the next day, someone naturally wrote a letter praising Yan Chuyin and the candidates, praising Yan Chuyin for his righteous heart and the candidates for their gratitude.

There were also people who wrote a letter to praise the clan's son, that is, the gang of old dudes who followed Yan Chuyin and donated money.The emperor then issued an oral order with a look of relief, telling the Ministry of Rites to prepare the Four Treasures of the Study, and send them back to the clan sons.

Soon, the second round of the rural examination began.The application essay of the second official examination in Qiuwei of this dynasty.For example, if a certain case happened in a certain place, if you were the local parent officer, how would you judge the case and how should you write the final case record.How to judge the case depends on the candidates' familiarity with the law, and how to write the case depends on whether the candidates can write official essays.Another example is asking you to take up a certain official position, and your boss sent you a certain official document, how should you respond, and so on.

This match was also very easy for Shen Yu.

Not to mention that he is familiar with laws and official documents of the court, he has even read a lot of real case files!On weekdays, I consciously pay attention to the important affairs of my family and country.This exam was easier for him than the previous one.

The third question is about the national economy and the people's livelihood.

Before the exam, Shen Yu couldn't help guessing the questions, thinking that the third round would probably involve some questions related to "enlightening people's wisdom" and "rituals".It turned out that he guessed wrong, and the question in the third round was unremarkable, and it was about agricultural affairs.At that time, people emphasized agriculture, and agricultural politics questions often appeared in scientific examinations.This time the question is also a cliché - Guisu theory.

When this policy was first proposed, it meant that farmers could buy titles from the government through grain, and when they committed crimes, they could use grain to atone for themselves.Later, it gradually became a kind of proposition, which is to increase the price and status of food to make people realize the importance of food, thereby greatly promoting the development of agriculture.

When Shen Yu answered the question, he decided to start with the disadvantages of this policy—it would lead to the rise of the landlord class and allow the landlords to gain important political power, which obviously further oppressed the bottom peasantry.This is also the reason why various voices have been talking about changing rice to mulberry in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, but the imperial court has not really implemented it.

Food is important!The expensive millet theory is generally correct.

Just like changing rice to mulberry is right.Not only is it true, it can actually boost the economy considerably.

But why didn't the imperial court think of a way to implement the transformation of rice into mulberry?

Because as long as that disadvantage is not resolved, the path of the people at the bottom will always be narrower and narrower, and their life will always be more and more difficult.And these low-level people are the ones who really account for the majority of the population!If they are not doing well, why are they talking about "people's wealth"?We can't even talk about the wealth of the people, so what about benevolent government, what about the wealth of the country!

Shen Yu spent a whole day drafting, and spent most of the day revising, before finally solemnly copying his point of view onto paper.There is nothing wrong with Guisu, he wants to make Guisu truly "expensive" to the people at the bottom!

When this exam is over, the township exam will be completely over.

Shen Yu and the Taixue classmate who congratulated him were not far apart.So when they lined up to leave the Gongyuan, the two lined up together again.The classmate couldn't help asking: "Brother Shen, you look very energetic today..."

Shen Yu: "..."

He thought in his heart, no matter how energetic he is, Yin Nu has been squeezed away by you!

The classmate winked at Shen Yu.My fiancée came for the first two games, although I couldn't say a word to her, but the servant at my house saw the carriage at my fiancée's house, so my fiancee must have come.And you!

The classmate asked: "Brother Shen, do you see my energy?"

Shen Yu: "..."

I really want to say something that is not very energetic, why did you pull my sleeve that day!
