The days when I fished in Daming

"If there is nothing else, let's dismiss the court! Wen Zhong, Deng Yu, Fu Youde, the three of you stay."

"Long live my emperor."

"Yes."

Zheng Xiong went with the flow and left with the main force.

As for the few people who stayed behind, Zheng Xiong didn't pay much attention to them.

It's nothing more than that Old Zhu wants to give everyone some special treatment, or discuss how to fight, which has little to do with Zheng Xiong.

What really troubled Zheng Xiong was the issue of military funds.

After a morning meeting, Zheng Xiong still had no idea what was going on and could only take things one step at a time.

"Congratulations, Doctor Marquis. By this time next year, you may be called Duke."

Old Li's smile is unpredictable.

Looking at Li Shanchang, Zheng Xiong's mood became even worse.

Old Li seemed to have good intentions, and his one sentence attracted the attention of everyone who had retired from the court. They all looked at Zheng Xiong with inexplicable flickering eyes.

So Zheng Xiong was not willing to be outdone and retorted.

"I heard that the Duke of Korea will take a concubine soon. It is said that she is a petite beauty in her twenties. She is young and youthful, but the Duke is still strong and powerful. I admire him very much."

"On the day of the Duke's wedding, I would like to ask for a glass of wine so that I can personally experience the Duke's majestic presence. Is that okay?"

In a small scene, Lao Li was not moved at all by the ridicule and still had a smile on his face.

"It is an honor for the Doctor to be here."

"But if you come back, please don't spend money. My Lord has a heavy responsibility. If you spend money on me, I will be ashamed."

After listening to this, Zheng Xiong stood up and looked at Li Shanchang carefully.

Even though the old man was usually quiet, his ability to choke people was top-notch, which made Zheng Xiong unconsciously look at him twice more.

At the same time, Li Shanchang stood up and asked Zheng Xiong with some confusion.

"Why is this happening, Doctor Hou?"

Zheng Xiong grinned.

"I just thought of a gift. This gift is wonderful. I'm sure it will satisfy the Duke."

"Oh, really? Now that I mention it, I am really looking forward to it!"

Zheng Xiong didn't say anything. Seeing the crowd approaching, he quickly left, leaving the stage to Lao Li.

As soon as he returned to the government office, Wang Peng came to report.

"The test is about to begin. My Lord, you must go and see it in person."

Zheng Xiong rubbed his temples, thinking it would be good to go out and relax, and nodded.

"Please select a few people to follow me!"

"Yes."

There were nearly a hundred people sitting in the examination room at this time.

Zheng Xiong felt something was wrong the moment he entered the examination room.

Although there were hundreds of people, it was far from what was expected, and there were still a large number of empty seats.

Looking at the many candidates present, they were all women, not a single man.

This situation felt quite absurd to Zheng Xiong. He was surprised and somewhat confused, but not to the point of losing his composure.

"what happened?"

Wang Peng obviously noticed this as well. He didn't dare to look directly at Zheng Xiong's scrutinizing gaze and just lowered his head and muttered.

"I am negligent and have suspended this examination. Please give me some time to investigate this matter, my Lord."

Zheng Xiong shook his head. After his initial confusion, he calmed down and even smiled.

A casual smile.

It's not my fault.

"No, no, no. Finding out the reason is important, but this exam is equally important. Now that the exam has begun, there is no reason to give up halfway. The exam continues."

After saying that, Zheng Xiong walked forward and sat in the main seat.

"The exam begins."

At the command, a piece of test paper was placed on the desk.

The grinding sound lasted for a moment and then returned to silence again, with only the occasional sound of flipping papers tugging at one's nerves.

Zheng Xiong was bored and occasionally stood up and looked around.

"You smell of his perfume, it's my nose that's guilty..."

Humming a little song, walking and looking around.

It doesn’t matter how well you do in the exam, I just want to stop and take a look at the beautiful woman.

A faint scent came and went. Perfume, the scent of orchids.

The other one is also good. Although it is made from unknown wild flowers, it is refreshing to smell.

80 points.

The questions were difficult, and Zheng Xiong frowned as he walked past everyone he saw.

Although she wasn't as hyperactive as the boys, scratching her ears and cheeks in anxiety, she was almost sweating in anxiety.

After taking a walk around, Zheng Xiong felt much more relaxed. Sitting in a chair, he could enjoy the unique scenery.

Time passes slowly, but also quickly, slipping away quietly.

"The time has come, everyone stop writing and collect your papers."

As soon as Wang Peng's voice sounded, someone came forward and started to collect the scrolls.

Some were happy, some were sad, but without exception, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The rest is up to fate.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get nervous again.

"My Lord, there are 360 ​​examinees and 360 papers have been collected. Please have a look at them, my Lord."

"Well, seal the test papers and assign someone to watch over them. Everyone else must be hungry, so send someone to deliver food. Eat before taking the test."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

After replenishing everyone's energy, Zheng Xiong announced that the exam would continue.

It was afternoon in a blink of an eye.

At this time, we had already reached the last volume of the policy essay test.

Taking exams all day long is undoubtedly a huge test of physical strength, especially for these women.

If your makeup is ruined or your body is overdrawn, they are all small matters.

In serious cases, the patient becomes mentally confused.

Fortunately, I finally reached the last volume. I gritted my teeth and started writing quickly.

"The time has come, stop writing and put away the paper."

After collecting the papers, the girls collapsed on the desk without caring about their image, and some even took a nap.

"My Lord, I have collected 360 papers. Do you want to seal them and review them tomorrow?"

"No, no, no, let's read it now. This paper is not long and we will finish it in a short while."

Wang Peng had an embarrassment expression on his face, as if he was constipated.

"My Lord, I may not be able to finish it. According to my estimation, it will take at least two or three days. Please... "

Wang Peng still spoke in a rather tactful way.

Zheng Xiong didn't waste time either.

"I didn't ask you to read all of it, nor did I ask you to review all of it. This is the final policy essay. You should check whether the sentences are fluent. If they are fluent and there are no major mistakes, just report them. This shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Hearing this, Wang Peng breathed a sigh of relief.

That makes it simple.

"No problem, I'll do it right away."

In addition to the people brought by Wang Peng, several secretaries beside Zheng Xiong were also arranged to mark the papers.

There is strength in numbers, and Zheng Xiong’s requirements are not high.

We are all educated people, and except for some difficult to understand sources that require some thinking, it basically doesn't take us much time to finish reading a test paper.

The marking was completed in less than half an hour.

Basically all of the 360 ​​papers passed the test.

After all, as long as one is fluent, it is not difficult for these women who can read.

Besides, I wouldn’t dare to take the exam without some confidence.

Zheng Xiong glanced at the pile of test papers, then looked at Wang Peng.

"All passed?"

"Well, there are a few good ones, and I have singled them out."

"It does not matter."

Zheng Xiong shook his head.

Perhaps from the very beginning, Zheng Xiong's idea was to hold a good exam and discover two talents at the same time.

But the process has gone astray, so the result doesn’t matter.

"Wake them all up."
