"Then just watch carefully!"
Xia Tian arranged: "The papers will be marked in the examination room today. All papers are not allowed to leave here!"
"The examination papers are all marked by Gu. Brother Three Wang is the deputy examiner. It is up to you to check Gu's marking and prove that it is fair and impartial!"
"Okay!"
The third prince smiled happily.
He couldn't understand the questions anyway, and he didn't know the answers. The important thing was to participate. Participating in the re-reading also counted as completing the task assigned by Emperor Xia!
As expected, Lao Jiu still took care of him!
For no reason, the third prince was actually moved!
at this time.
"I also want to participate in the review!"
Grand Master Xia Chuanqiu demanded in a strong tone: "Everyone knows that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are inseparable, and they vent their anger from the same nostril. Let the Third Prince supervise His Highness's marking, which is no different from having no supervision!"
"Only by allowing me to participate in the review can we reflect the fairness and impartiality of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Otherwise, I will suspect that there is something shady about this imperial examination!"
"fart!"
The third prince jumped up from his chair angrily and shouted: "Old man, how brave are you to suspect my brother the prince of favoritism?"
"You are an old man who hangs himself because you think your life is too long, right?"
"Who gave you the courage?"
"Jiejiejie..."
Xia Chuanqiu smiled sinisterly: "Third Prince, I am the Great Grand Master of the Xia Dynasty personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor. Do you dare to kill me?"
"Your Majesty keeps me here to supervise the imperial examination!"
"What's the problem with my participation in the review?"
The words were sinister, with overwhelming murderous intent.
What a dangerous old guy!
The third prince's neck shrank, but he remained stubborn: "Grand Master, you can suspect that I am uneducated, you can suspect that I am not qualified to review, but you cannot suspect that the prince's younger brother is selfish, will practice favoritism, and will favor himself. people!"
"You are insulting!"
"snort......"
Xia Tianqiu waved his sleeves between Xia Chuanqi and the third prince, directly breaking Xia Chuanqi's momentum: "Grand Master, you dare to threaten the prince, do you want to rebel?"
"Huh......"
Xia Chuanqi stared at Xia Xia in shock, narrowed his eyes and said: "His Royal Highness is indeed a martial arts prodigy, it is not easy to be able to defeat this Grand Master!"
"But martial arts wizards who haven't grown up are just wizards!"
"When it comes to martial arts, Your Highness is no enemy of this Grand Master!"
"Yeah?"
Xia Tian has been trying to anger Xia Chuanqi: "The grand master means to murder the current prince, do you want to rebel?"
"Someone is coming..."
"Swish swish..."
I saw the young men with hidden swords flying out, each holding a crossbow and aiming at Xia Chuanqiu!
At the same time, Bai Hu and a group of masters from the East Palace appeared, swords and swords flashing!
In the academy, murderous intent arose!
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn!
Xia Chuanqi finally felt a little wary and said in a soft tone: "Your Highness, this is not what I mean!"
"If I, the Grand Master, can participate in the review, it will better reflect His Highness's fairness and impartiality, leaving people speechless!"
Summer is a bit disappointing!
He was so proud, how could he give in so easily?
It looks like the plan is very big!
Be more vigilant in summer!
He waved his hand, and Bai Hu led the people away!
"good!"
Xia Tian then said: "Since the Grand Master said so, then I will let the Grand Master participate in the review!"
“If you have any objections, let’s communicate!”
At this time.
Peacock, the dean of the Royal Academy and the head of the contemporary Confucian school, also asked for instructions: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, looking at the imperial examination papers this time, His Highness did not use Confucian questions for questions, and Peacock has never seen the test questions. He is very curious and wants to participate. Read it again, and I hope His Highness will approve it!”
"good!"
Xia Tian agreed: "Then you should also participate in the review!"
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
At this time.
Xia Tian felt the physical condition: "Eat first, then start!"
"yes!"
Immediately afterwards, the guards of the East Palace served the food for everyone to eat!
Half an hour later.
Xia Tian began to mark the examination papers, marking them as A, B, C, and D respectively, and then handed them over to the Third Prince, Xia Chuanqi, and Peacock for review.
finally.
Peacock held up a test paper and asked: "Your Highness, these test questions of yours seem to be random, but there must be deep meaning in them, right?"
"The peacock feels it, but he doesn't understand it. Please clear up the confusion, Your Highness!"
"snort......"
Xia Chuanqi's cold snort was full of provocation: "What deep meaning can there be?"
"It's just something new and different that makes people think His Highness is awesome!"
Xia Xia glanced at Xia Chuanqi: "Master, tell me, why do you have to have more children and build more roads if you want to be rich?"
"This is not easy!"
Xia Chuanqi bowed his hands in the void and said: "The ancient sages once said that the more people there are on a piece of land, the more labor force there is, the more food can be grown, and the more goods can be produced. Naturally, this can The place becomes rich!”
"The first half of this question is fine, but the second part is not!"
"Because building roads has nothing to do with being rich!"
"Yeah?"
"yes!"
Xia Tian handed the examination paper to Xia Chuanqiu with a faint smile: "The national teacher is really ignorant!"
Xia Chuanqiu's eyes were filled with anger: "Prince, be careful what you say!"
Xia Tian pointed at the test paper and said: "This candidate made the relationship between road construction and wealth very clear!"
"Please read it out, Grand Master!"
Xia Chuanqi suppressed his anger and read: "I grew up in the mountains. There are no roads in the mountains. If you want to go to the county town, you have to climb five mountains. It takes two days and one night to enter the city. It is more difficult to transport things out of the mountains. , it’s difficult to buy things from the county town and bring them back, not to mention the time delay, the mountain roads are dangerous, it’s difficult to buy salt, my family has always been poor!”
"Later, a highway was built in the mountains leading to the county town. Roads were built across mountains and rivers and bridges were built to reach the outside world directly!"
"From now on, it only takes us half a day to enter the city. If we ride horses, we can go back and forth in half a day. This greatly saves time and gives the villagers more time to work!"
"Due to the convenient highway, the minerals in our mountains can be transported and sold for money, and the fruits all over the mountains and plains can also be transported and sold for money. Many vendors also come into the mountains to sell things. After buying and selling is convenient, we gradually become rich... .So, if you want to be rich, you must first build roads!”
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Third Prince and Peacock lit up!
Xia Tian then said: "As a local official, only if you understand the suffering and difficulties of the place and know where the obstacles are, can you understand the principle of building roads first if you want to get rich!"
"As for having more children, it's because in the era of war and chaos, there was a large population, so there was more power!"
"This question is a screening question!"
"The imperial court does not need a son from an aristocratic family who is ignorant of the sufferings of the people. What it needs are officials who can truly govern the place!"
"do you understand?"
The peacock stood up and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness is wise, the peacock bows to you!"
"good!"
Seeing that he could find no faults, Xia Chuanqi pointed to the "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" test question and asked: "What about this weird question?"
"Your Highness, are you trying to be mysterious?"
Xia Tian raised his eyelids and stared at Xia Chuanqi coldly: "What do you think?"
