two days later
Capital University Final Examination
Parents of students and their children had been waiting outside the Capital University Hall early in the morning.
Except for some students who live in dormitories, most students commute.
There are still few people like the little princes who never return home.
"Nizi, are you confident?"
Before the semester started at the Capital University Hall, Lao Zhu asked the tall and thin man to jump in line.
At this moment, he looked at his daughter anxiously,
Just like countless parents, they are nervous and afraid of saying too much and making their children nervous too.
Compared with before, the girl is much more beautiful,
At least he's not as slovenly or tomboy-like as before.
"Dad, I'm nervous."
"Don't be nervous, it doesn't matter if you do well or poorly in the exam, you will have something to eat when you go back!"
"Dad, after you said that, I became even more nervous."
Xu Miaojin, Tang Linger, and Guo Jue came over.
"Hello, uncle."
When the tall and thin man saw these noble little princesses, he was at a loss and said in embarrassment,
"Hello, hello."
The three girls came close to the girl and started chattering.
"Yan'er, how's your review going?"
"Sister Miaojin, my art department should be finished."
"Oh, I'm not good at magic either..."
Tang Linger sighed and said.
Xu Miaojin echoed,
"I'm not good at Chinese studies."
Several girls sighed and looked at Guo Jue again.
Seeing that there was no sadness on Guo Jue’s face,
Guo Jue is quirky and very smart.
In the entire Capital University, he is firmly ranked second.
As for who is first?
Of course it’s Xiao Qi Zhu Quan.
"Jue'er, I see you're not worried at all."
Guo Jue smiled and said,
“I don’t know what I’m going to take in this final exam, how can I not worry about it?!
But the thought of meeting His Highness makes me happy! "
When the three women thought of Zhu Xiongying, all the sadness on their faces disappeared.
He began to talk excitedly about His Highness's recent affairs again.
A group of gentlemen had already stood outside the gate of the Capital University, as if waiting for someone.
Then the crowd shouted,
I saw Master Hongwu's chariot coming from a distance, and a group of people were just about to kneel down.
Zhu Yuanzhang's hearty laughter came,
"No need to kneel."
Although there was no need to kneel, the people still shouted from the bottom of their hearts,
"Long live your majesty!"
"Your Highness, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
When Guo Jue and her three daughters saw Zhu Xiongying dressed in a dragon robe with her black hair tied up, they jumped up and down in excitement.
"Wow! So handsome!"
"I still like your highness's hairstyle! I will give your highness this hairstyle every day from now on!"
"Tch, are you thinking about entering the palace?"
"What, you don't want to?"
"Okay, I want it too."
Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Xiongying to the main entrance of the Capital University Hall.
He greeted Ping An, the commander of the imperial army, and led people to carry three large baskets to the front of the Capital University Hall.
Each basket is covered with cloth, so you can't see what it is.
Even the gentlemen didn't know what it was.
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be in a good mood. He pointed at the three baskets and said with a smile,
"This is the question for the final exam."
There was a bang,
The crowd stood on tiptoe and looked over, wondering if they could tell something in advance.
But unfortunately the basket was wrapped so tightly that no flaw could be seen at all.
Ru Taisu, the Minister of Hubu, looked at Zhan Hui, the Minister of Punishment.
Zhan Hui nodded.
The two exchanged a look,
It seems that His Majesty is going to take the exam!
Lao Shi made a homemade wheelchair and pushed himself to Ru Taisu's side.
asked,
"Old man, what kind of test question is this, Father?"
Ru Taisu gave Lao Shi Zhutan a white look and no longer bothered anyone else when she saw him.
Zhu Tan snorted when he was exhausted at Ru Taisu's place.
muttered,
"Smelly old man, what are you pulling on?"
Zhu Xiongying frowned and looked back at Lao Shi, who immediately showed a harmless expression.
My eldest nephew, Uncle Ten, I am very well-behaved!
Zhu Xiongying threatened Uncle Ten with his eyes and glanced at the sun.
He whispered beside Zhu Yuanzhang,
"Grandpa, it's time."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and signaled Ping An to take off the black cloth on the basket. Ping An quickly stepped forward and lifted off all the black cloth.
The candidates moved forward one after another and gathered in front of the three large baskets. They couldn't help but exclaimed,
I saw that the three large baskets were all filled with grains. At first glance, there was no difference at all.
Zhu Xiongying said loudly,
"This is the final exam of the Capital University.
Candidates need to write down the information they see from the three baskets of rice on paper. During this period, they can grab the rice, but candidates are not allowed to talk to each other.
Exam time, quarter of an hour,
Start now. "
Contrary to what Zhu Yuanzhang thought, Lao Zhu originally thought that these candidates would be stunned for a while.
But unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, all the candidates took up paper and started writing furiously.
While writing, he also walked around the basket, and from time to time he would take out a piece of rice and smell it.
It's really like that.
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. He thought that such a down-to-earth test question would pass these students, but it seemed that it didn't happen at all.
Lao Zhu was surprised and happy in his heart.
It is true that as advertised to the outside world, the Capital University teaches practical matters.
Jie Jin blinked at Fang Xiaoru,
whispered,
"Your Majesty used to be able to pass the Jinshi exam with this question, but now it's difficult for our students to pass the exam."
Fang Xiaoru smiled and said,
Looking at Zhu Quan squatting beside the basket and writing carefully,
I couldn't help but say,
"It's not difficult to answer this question.
Yes, but it’s difficult. "
Farming is the foundation of a country.
No matter how much the Ming Dynasty expands in the future, the roots of the Ming Dynasty are in the Central Plains, and this will never change.
The Central Plains is a huge and fertile agricultural land with such good congenital conditions. Why not farm?
It cannot be said that commerce is developed for the sake of developing commerce. In order to negate the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce, even the land is not cultivated and everyone goes into business.
That's just a fool.
In the Central Plains, it is always right to emphasize agriculture and suppress business.
What Zhu Xiongying has to do is to increase the upper limit.
Focus on agriculture, but also business development,
In short, agriculture will always be the top priority.
Having a full meal is the first priority at all times.
And here is Zhu Yuanzhang’s profound meaning,
If you are an official in a large agricultural country and you don't even understand farming and don't even recognize grains, what kind of official do you think you are?
If you say you can cure the country, you will kill Zhu Yuanzhang even if you don't believe it!
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that even Xiao Shisan and the others were busy writing,
I really made Lao Zhu look stupid.
Although Lao Zhu didn't care about his own children, what kind of things they were, Lao Zhu saw Lao Zhu at a glance,
It is basically impossible for them to calm down and understand agriculture and crops.
Lao Zhu frowned,
These little brats can't be just showing off, right? !
When he thought of this, Lao Zhu loosened his Songyu belt in an extremely discreet manner and quietly walked around behind the young princes.
