After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Chapter 222 This is Zhao Heng as Tanhua

Mrs. Shen said angrily: "Lu Wanzhi, how did my Xi'er offend you? Why are you so biased against others? If Xi'er doesn't go back to Xiao's house, the entire Shen family will become a laughing stock!"

Shen Xi was full of disappointment and said: "Mother, in your eyes, is it possible that your daughter's life can't be compared to someone else's joke?"

Lu Wanzhi helped Shen Xi up and said, "I'll take you to the hospital to see the wound first, so don't do such stupid things."

Mrs. Shen said anxiously to the mother at the side: "Send the two children to Xiao's residence quickly."

Lu Wanzhi asked the young servant of the Lu family who followed him to stop her.

Mrs. Shen said sharply: "This is in Shen Guogong's mansion, not your Lu Xiang's family, your Lu family dared to come to the door today..."

Before Mrs. Shen finished speaking, Princess Yuyue walked up to the mother and hugged Shen Xi's one-year-old daughter from her arms.

"Today we are really daring! If Mrs. Shen feels that there is something wrong, she can go to the palace and file a complaint."

Yuyue held her little daughter in one hand and Shen Xi's three-year-old son in the other, and took the two children into the carriage of the Lu family.

The little boy who had been refraining from crying all this time got into the carriage, and then threw himself into Shen Xi's arms and wept bitterly, "Wuuuuuuu, mother."

The little girl who just turned one year old and didn't understand anything saw her brother cry, and she started crying too.

Shen Xi hugged a pair of children, crying constantly.

Lu Wanzhi wiped Shen Xi's tears distressedly, "Don't cry, you won't go back to Xiao's house again."

Princess Yuyue said at the side: "Last time I ran into Brother Heng in the teahouse and saw that he said he was making matchmaking for you and Pei Qin. This Pei Qin is quite old. Since you have divorced, why is this Pei Qin Haven't come to propose marriage yet?"

Shen Xi looked at Princess Yuyue in surprise, she didn't expect that even she knew about it, "At the beginning I rejected Pei Qin because of a pair of children."

Lu Wanzhi took Shen Xi to the hospital, and when the doctor saw the injury and prescribed medicine to stop the bleeding, Lu Wanzhi let Shen Xi go back to Lu's residence with him.

……

Until noon, when the examination papers were handed in, all the students were waiting for His Majesty to consult the articles and ask questions.

The scholars sorted the papers one by one and submitted them to Emperor Jing Yuan.

Emperor Jing Yuan checked the past one by one, and would ask a few questions from time to time.

Among them, some timid students were unable to speak when they met Shengyan for the first time, and there were also some who could speak, but still stumbled and slurred.

There are also many students who dare not speak loudly. In the main hall, if they dare not speak loudly in an upright manner, they are probably ranked at the bottom.

The topic of the palace examination this time was plowing. Emperor Jing Yuan originally didn't expect Zhao Heng, a child who couldn't distinguish five grains, to write any good articles.

But seeing that Zhao Heng's article wrote about farming, and the fact that two acres of rice fields were planted and destroyed by a heavy snowfall, it seems to be true.

"Zhao Heng."

"Uncle Huang."

Zhao Heng didn't care at all that this was above the palace examination, and it was still the previous title.

Emperor Jing Yuan said: "Your article is well written, but the article is true. You can't make it up. When did you go to the field to cultivate it?"

Zhao Heng said: "Uncle Huang, I didn't make it up. The last lesson Mr. Lu taught us was farming. The people depend on food, and farming is the root of food. Our Tianzi squad leader comes from a family of high-ranking officials and nobles. He received the imperial salary, but received the farming support from the common people.

Mr. Lu also taught us that if we embark on an official career, we must remember to do things for the people and the farmers. Water can carry a boat or capsize it. Only with farmers in mind can we serve the court and serve His Majesty.

In order to let us know that it is not easy for farmers to farm, Mr. Lu asked us to farm. Fifteen people including Tianzi class students and Ke Zhao worked hard all morning to plant two acres of rice fields. If it is completely destroyed, it is difficult to see how difficult it is for the people to rely on the sky for food.

I didn't quite understand at first, why the imperial court kept offering sacrifices all day long and disturbing my sleep, but now I understand that Uncle Huang has been offering sacrifices to pray for good weather and a good harvest.

But I think that it is not enough to only ask for the sky. What is important is to dig ditches, store reservoirs, and try our best to ensure the harvest from droughts and floods. "

Emperor Jing Yuan was quite relieved to see Zhao Heng who was talking eloquently, and asked again: "Heng'er, what can you do?"

Zhao Heng scratched his head and said, "I have an idea, but I don't think it's easy to implement."

"Just say it."

Zhao Hengdao: "I wonder if we can ask all the common people to hand in ten coins per mu of land to the government before farming. If there is a good harvest that year, the ten coins will not be refunded. Wenqian is exempted from taxation, and if there is no harvest, the government will pay one penny per mu of land.”

All the students and officials all looked at Zhao Heng.

Only the prince said: "If the common people see that ten renminbi can be doubled ten times and become one coin and two silver, what should they do if they deliberately don't cultivate?"

Zhao Heng said: "One penny is not much. If there is no harvest, the price of grain at that time must have been skyrocketing. The common people are greedy for one penny, but they can only buy a little grain. I think the common people are too. Not stupid.

Moreover, the local county government also has its own Zhuangzi fields, so it can be known whether it is a good harvest year, a bad harvest year, or a non-harvest year. "

Emperor Jing Yuan smiled gratifiedly and said, "Well said."

Emperor Jing Yuan continued to read the article, and after asking questions one by one, he asked the students to wait outside the hall.

Waiting outside is anxious, Gu Qingchi asked Zhao Heng, "Did Lu Wanzhi teach you what you said in front of His Majesty just now?"

Zhao Heng said: "That's not true, that's what I thought."

Gu Qingchi smiled and said: "You really might be able to win the champion this time."

An hour later, the servant announced that all the students entered the hall, and everyone was very nervous about their ranking.

There is a list posted at the door, except for the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and the name of Tanhua have not yet been decided, the rest have already been decided.

Gu Qingchi saw his own name at a glance, and Zhao Heng's name was not found after searching around, and said: "Ah Heng, it seems that you are really expected to become the number one scholar, I never thought that you would become the number one scholar!"

Zhao Heng also began to feel a little flustered, if he really won the number one scholar, he would definitely be able to shake up his husband!
Entering, all the students kneeled all over the hall.

Emperor Jing Yuan saw the people kneeling below and said: "After discussing with the ministers, I hand-picked Shen Luozhi, a student from Chang'an, as the number one scholar, Jin Cheng, a student from Hangzhou, as the second place, and Zhao Heng, a student from Chang'an, as Tanhualang."

Zhao Heng pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle Huang, I don't think I am any different than Shen Luozhi and Jin Cheng in the palace examination just now? Why is Shen Luozhi the champion? His answer just now is not as good as mine. It’s good but it’s all empty talk, it’s not practical at all, I’m not convinced!”

When all the students heard Zhao Heng's words, they all broke down for Zhao Heng.

Even Lu Teng was worried about his little son-in-law.

The King of Chu reprimanded angrily: "Zhao Heng, how can you allow your majesty to be presumptuous in front of you?"

Zhao Heng said: "Uncle Huang is unfair, hum!"

The King of Chu was so angry that if he wasn't in the main hall, he just wanted to go over and twist Zhao Heng's ear: "Zhao Heng!"

Emperor Jing Yuan didn't care at all, and said with a light smile, "Heng'er, I'm not unfair in dealing with things, Tan Hua Lang is always the best-looking, isn't it because I think you are prettier than Shen Luozhi Jin Cheng? "

Shen Luozhi at the bottom: "..."

For the first time, Zhao Heng felt that being the number one beauty in Chang'an was not a good thing.
