243 Chapter 50
"Master Liu, we will try to be the top of the list. We really can't make a decision, so please make a decision, Your Excellency."

Liu Yuan is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the chief examiner of this imperial examination. Seeing that the day for the ranking is coming, the Ministry of Rites has not yet selected the top one, which makes the good-tempered Liu Yuan also angry.

"These test papers still need to be entangled for more than half a month? Isn't it an opinion?" Liu Yuan said smoothly after ranking the test papers.

The official of the Ministry of Rites who reported lowered his head and did not speak.This policy theory can be described as a unique insight, and it is just right to criticize the current disadvantages.It can be said that it is well-deserved as the top of the list in this meeting.

But soon Liu Yuan's expression became serious when he saw the name of the test paper.

"This... this one isn't bad." Liu Yuan picked up another test paper and said with a sigh of relief.

Several examiners on the side lowered their heads.

Liu Yuan flipped to the candidate's name, and was stunned when he saw the word Tan Che on it.Silently put down the test paper in his hand and flipped through it again.

Soon half a day passed, and Liu Yuan read the test papers all over but couldn't find one that could occupy the top spot.

"Is there nothing like this?" Liu Yuan frowned, took a sip of tea and looked at the other examiners angrily.

"Master Liu, it's really difficult for us to make a distinction between superiors and inferiors."

Liu Yuan sighed, and picked up Qi Yuan's test paper again. Even though he had read it once, he still felt a sense of surprise when he read it again.

Liu Yuan put down the test paper regretfully, and looked at Tan Che's test paper again, feeling more and more entangled in his heart.

"Master Liu, the list should be released the day after tomorrow."

Everyone present knew the rumors in the capital some time ago, and Liu Yuan knew that Emperor Zhou Yuan really had plans to use the two.But Liang Cai and Tan Che are indeed outstanding in their talents and senses.

If they suppressed the test papers on their own initiative, if Emperor Zhou Yuan suddenly remembered to read the test papers, they would have committed a taboo in the imperial examination.

Liu Yuan was silent for a long while, it was getting late, and it was going to be announced the next day, and no one in the Ministry of Rites could bear the responsibility.

"Master Liu, this?" The examiner at the side was still asking for opinions.

Liu Yuan looked at the test paper in front of him. With such knowledge and ambition, as long as he had a chance, he could soar into the sky.

Although they are examiners, they are only His Majesty's courtiers, and they are helping His Majesty select talents, so they only need to select outstanding people.

Liu Yuan comforted himself, and Xin Yiheng picked up a pen and wrote down the top ten names in the test, Liang Cai was at the top of the list, followed by Tan Che.

Liu Yuan finished in one go, put down his pen and picked up the test paper, "Everyone, I'm entering the palace now."

"Lord Liu." Everyone bowed their hands in admiration.

Liu Yuan took a deep breath and hurried into the palace.

Emperor Zhou Yuan was sitting at the desk in the imperial study room, reviewing the memorial, how could he hide the matter from the Ministry of Rites, it was just a way to test Liu Yuan by the way.

"Your Majesty, Master Liu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, please see me."

Emperor Zhou Yuan put down the memorial in his hand, and the steward brought him in.

Liu Yuan was passionate for a while, and after he entered the palace, he began to regret and worry.

"Wei Chen meets His Majesty."

"What's the matter with Aiqing asking for an audience? But you are here to present the results of the general examination?" Emperor Zhou Yuan put down the ink brush as he said, with a smile on his face.

"Returning to Your Majesty is exactly the matter." Liu Yuan held up the things in his hands and handed them to the manager.

Emperor Zhou Yuan's expression sank when he saw the names on the list, he put down the list and looked at Liu Yuan who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed.

"Master Liu has heard all the rumors in the capital, don't you think there is something wrong with the top spot?" Emperor Zhou Yuan's words were faintly filled with anger, and Liu Yuan's heart was raised in his throat.

But now there is no room for repentance, so Liu Yuan can only bite the bullet and speak according to his own ideas.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have heard about it, but the top spot is indeed unanimously agreed by all our examiners. I dare not deceive Your Majesty about the imperial examination, so I went to the palace overnight to ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

After Liu Yuan finished speaking, there was silence in the imperial study room, even though he was sweating profusely, he didn't dare to move a little.

Emperor Zhou Yuan didn't speak, but put the list aside, picked out a test paper and read it.

In the entire imperial study room, there was only the sound of Emperor Zhou Yuan flipping through the pages. Hearing this sound, Liu Yuan felt as if a knife was on his neck.

Emperor Zhou Yuan frowned even more after reading the two test papers. They were all clichéd questions, and the strategies and theories he wrote were quite satisfactory.

"Ai Qing has worked hard, please give me a seat."

Emperor Zhou Yuan looked up at Liu Yuan, who was kneeling, and sighed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the chair to guess the mood of Emperor Zhou Yuan from the corner of his eye.

Obviously, Emperor Zhou Yuan is not in a very good mood now. Just like these strategies, Emperor Zhou Yuan has reigned for 20 years.

Emperor Zhou Yuan was unwilling, but the power in the court had been stabilized, so Emperor Zhou Yuan was so eager to want officials from poor families to realize his ambition.

It's just that none of these people are suitable, most of the time Emperor Zhou Yuan can only settle for the next best thing.

After reading several test papers one after another, Emperor Zhou Yuan became impatient, and marked the list with Zhubi.

Seeing Liang Cai at the top of the list, he frowned slightly, and took out Tan Che's test paper among the test papers.

With the comparison of the previous test papers, Tan Che's test papers are much more brilliant, and he is even more unique in the official assessment.Compared with those empty words, Tan Che's opinion already has a general framework of measures.

Emperor Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up, and his mood improved. There are still such talents.Tan Che's idea was in the arms of Emperor Zhou Yuan, and Emperor Zhou Yuan had already had the idea of ​​evaluating officials.

This time I really fell asleep and gave me a pillow. With a little training, I will be a good official.

Emperor Zhou Yuan finally smiled when he looked at Ce Lun, and Zhu Bi ticked Tan Che's name.

"Aiqing entered the palace in a hurry and thought she hadn't eaten yet, so Su Ning served Master Liu some food." Emperor Zhou Yuan was in a good mood, and he was pleasing to the eyes of Liu Yuan who sent the talent to him.

Liu Yuan quickly thanked him, sat on the chair and ate some snacks, his heart was already half relieved.

Emperor Zhou Yuan read the rest of the test papers again, and compared with Tan Che's test paper, Emperor Zhou Yuan couldn't stand it anymore.In the end, after some deliberation, he picked up the test paper that had been put aside early.

Seeing this, Emperor Zhou Yuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

People's livelihood is the foundation of a country and the main source of taxation. However, Qi Yuan proposed the concept of commercial tax in his policy and theory, and even constructed a set of fully enforceable regulations.

Looking at the tax system that is accurate to every tael of silver, even Emperor Zhou Yuan couldn't help but start to roughly estimate the income of the commercial tax.
