Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 568: First Place, Going to Beijing!! (Subscribe!!)

Zhao Hun remembers when the library first opened.

There are often hooligans and gangsters coming to cause trouble.

As a result, these ruffians and hooligans were dealt with by wave after wave of people, and finally became the protectors of the library. Some of them even worked as bodyguards of the library, and some even started reading.

There are many speculations about the identities of those who deal with hooligans and gangsters.

For example, the Jinyiwei, the Tax Inspection Bureau, and some chivalrous men.

Because only these people can bring these ruffians and hooligans into obedience.

Because of the existence of the library, poor children like Zhao Hun had a holy place to study.

Without anyone to disturb you, you can study with peace of mind.

Zhao Hun would always study until dark and the library closed, and only then would he leave reluctantly. After a whole day of reading, his only food was half a steamed bun made of shredded grains.

"Brother Hun, it's time to close the museum!"

The owner of the library is an old man who came here on the day the library was built. He is not a local, but he also loves reading. He comes to the library very early every day, and after the library is opened, he takes a seat. If there is nothing special, he will sit there for the whole day.

Because he was always the last to leave, Zhao Hun became familiar with the old owner of the museum.

"This book of intensive mathematics is so well written that I can't put it down. If I were given more time, I could finish it." Zhao Hun said with emotion.

"Since you like it, you can continue watching it tomorrow, or you can just register and take it home to read!" said the old museum owner.

"You need a deposit to borrow books from the library, but I..." Zhao Hui shook his head, "I can only read it tomorrow."

"Brother Hun, you can take this book back and read it. I won't charge you a deposit." said the old owner of the library.

"Master, is this okay?" Zhao Hun asked hurriedly.

"Haha, the so-called deposit is just to prevent villains. I think you, brother Hun, are a book lover and will definitely be a gentleman in the future. You can take the books. If you like any of them in the future, you can register and take them back to read. But you still have to follow the rules!"

The old owner of the hall said slowly.

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master!" Zhao Hun was overjoyed.

"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Prince Consort Ouyang. This library was founded by Prince Consort Ouyang. He said that books should be the common wealth of mankind, and reading is everyone's right. That's why he created it in every county across the country, so that all the people of the Ming Dynasty can go to school and have books to read!"

"I was also moved by Prince Consort Ouyang's great wish, so I came here on my own initiative."

After hearing what the old museum owner said, Zhao Hun stood there in a daze, thinking about something.

The old man, the owner of the library, said, "Brother Hun, don't just stand there. Pick up your books and go home quickly. Please be careful on the way. Take one of the lanterns outside the house and bring it back tomorrow."

"Thank you, host!"

Zhao Hun thanked the old owner again, took the books and left the library.

A month passed by in a flash.

The day of recruitment examination is approaching.

The recruitment examination is held in the county town, so candidates from the town have to go to the county to take the exam.

It would take three days and three nights to walk from the town to the county, and the road was quite unsafe, so people usually traveled with a caravan.

But the caravan won't let you follow for free, you need to pay some fees.

However, all Zhao Hun's money was used for studying and buying medicine for his mother, so Zhao Hun had to travel alone.

"Brother Hun!"

"Director!" Zhao Hun saw the person calling him.

The old curator was sitting in a carriage at the moment. He opened the curtain and said with a smile, "I have something to do in the county. There are still some empty seats in this carriage. You can take my carriage and I'll give you a ride along the way."

"Thank you, curator!"

Zhao Hun and the other candidates around him were very happy.

It is much more comfortable to ride in the curator's carriage than to follow the caravan.

The candidates got on the director's carriage, which immediately headed towards the county town.

County examination hall.

Many candidates gathered together, and due to the large number of applicants, the exam was even more exciting than the technology.

Fortunately, the county knew the number of people who registered for the exam in advance and expanded the examination hall to fully meet the examination needs of the county.

dong dong dong-

As three gongs were struck.

The entire examination hall suddenly became quiet.

In each examination room, examiners walked in with sealed test papers.

"Dear candidates, the test papers are in my hands right now. They were transported from the capital. According to the new rules set by the court, I would like to invite the two candidates to come forward and confirm with me whether the seals on the test papers are intact and whether they have been tampered with!"

After saying that, the examiner randomly selected two candidates.

Under close observation by two examinees and with the joint witness of all the candidates, it was confirmed that the test papers were sealed intact and had not been opened by anyone.

Next, he opened the outer packaging and took out the test paper.

dong dong dong-

As the gong sounded again outside, the test papers began to be distributed.

"Exam takers, please do not rush to answer the questions after you get your test paper. Please check your test paper carefully to see if it is complete and whether there are any omissions or errors!"

"After the inspection is completed, you can start answering questions only after you hear the gong sound again."

"I have to remind you all again, don't even think about cheating. The court has issued new regulations. If you are caught cheating, you will be banned from taking exams for life. Not only will you be unable to sign up for the project department's recruitment exams, but it will also have a major impact on the imperial examinations and other exams!"

As the examiner finished speaking.

dong dong dong-

The sound of a heavy gong was heard in the examination room.

"Okay, all candidates, start answering the questions!"

As the examiner finished speaking, all the candidates on the scene began to answer the questions formally.

However, when these candidates read the questions carefully, many of them frowned.

Because the exam content of this paper is completely different from the past ones.

The candidates had already known through the recruitment exam announcement that this exam would be different from the past, and they had also prepared according to the exam announcement, but the changes were really too big!

The exam paper is quite difficult!

Write down the multiplication table. Chickens and rabbits are in the same cage. Is the earth round or square? What are the three states of water? How is steel made?
They knew all these words, but when they were put together, they seemed completely unfamiliar and they had no idea how to answer.

Zhao Hun also got the test paper at this moment. After reading it, he was also stunned.

He didn't feel it was difficult, but rather he felt it was simple!
Although Zhao Hun is already 15 years old, he is still in primary school, and this is all he learns in primary school!
Coupled with his hard work in the academy, the questions on the test papers were completely easy for him!
While other candidates were still frowning, Zhao Hun had already started writing furiously.

Seven or eight? Fifty-six!
I have done the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage at least ten times and I have memorized the answer.

The earth is round. This is clearly written in geography textbooks. Although no one has proven this yet, there is already a standard answer.

The Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around the Earth! This is common sense, right?

Ice, solid, mist, gas, water, liquid, these are the three states of water!
As for how the steel was tempered? This question is a bit difficult. After all, should we answer the question about the book How the Steel Was Tempered? Or the actual process of forging steel? No matter what, write about both!

While other candidates were still scratching their heads, puzzled, Zhao Hun finished all the questions smoothly. Finally, under the extremely surprised looks of other candidates, he handed in his paper and walked out of the examination room.

It took Zhao Hun a long time to hand in his paper.

The sound of the end of the exam was finally heard.

dong dong dong-

As the gong sounded, it meant the one-hour exam was over!

Many candidates walked out of the examination room with confused eyes and different expressions, some were annoyed, some were confused, and some were particularly melancholy.
Because in the design of the exam, Ouyang Lun adopted the later model of multiple-choice questions, true-or-false questions and a small number of subjective questions, the marking and score compilation were very fast, and all of them were completed in just half a month.

Results released!

Zhao Hun became the first without any surprise.

First in the county, first in the province, and also among the top ten in the country!

It caused a sensation in the entire Liaodong Province. Since Liaodong Province had been incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty for a relatively short time, it was still relatively weak in education and it was difficult to compare with other provinces of the Ming Dynasty. In this recruitment examination, there was only Zhao Hun, a candidate from Liaodong Province who could enter the top 100 in the country, and Zhao Hun even entered the top ten!

When this news came out, the people of Liaodong were excited. At one time, all the people of Liaodong knew that a genius named Zhao Hun had appeared in Liaodong!
At this time, Zhao Hun and his mother had been picked up by government officials and were heading towards the capital.

Zhao Hun was very excited, he knew that he had succeeded. Next, he would completely change his destiny in the capital. At the same time, this trip would allow him to fulfill many of his wishes. The first wish was naturally to take his mother to see a doctor, and the second wish was to meet the prince consort, who was his idol!
The third one is to build a career! !
After arriving in the capital, Zhao Hun didn't even need to ask for permission. The people in the project department directly arranged a small courtyard in the capital for Zhao Hun. It was not only big enough for the mother and son to live in, but they also arranged for several servants and maids to take care of them, and also invited an imperial physician to treat Zhao's mother.

This made Zhao Hui even more moved! !
Thanks to the treatment of the imperial physician, Zhao's mother's condition was under control and improved day by day.

"Mom, you've been in Beijing for several days, and you haven't been to the streets of Beijing yet. Your son will take you out for a walk today!"

"okay!"

Since arriving in the capital, Zhao's mother's health has improved and her spirits have also been getting better and better.

"Master, Madam, I'm going to call a taxi!"

The servant said immediately.

"Wait, I remember that our family doesn't seem to have a carriage?" Zhao Hun asked puzzledly.

In his impression, the project department only allocated him a house and servants, paid him a monthly salary according to the seventh-rank official, and arranged for a carriage and other things.

Why would the servant say he was going to call a taxi?

"Master, there is a car rental company called Shenzhou Taxi in the capital. They have many cars with blue flags, both large and small. They drive on the street. As long as you wave your hand on the side of the road, a carriage will stop. It's very convenient!"

"Madam is not feeling well, it would be more comfortable for her to go shopping in a carriage."

The servant explained quickly.

"Shenzhou Taxi, it's worthy of being in the capital of the Ming Dynasty! It's really unexpected!" Zhao Hui exclaimed: "Mom, then let's take a taxi today?"

"Okay, Mom will listen to you." Mother Zhao nodded with a smile.

Soon the servants hailed a carriage, and the mother and son sat in the carriage and looked at the capital, their eyes full of curiosity.

"Xiao Si, I just saw carriages with yellow flags in addition to the carriages with blue flags. What are they for?" Zhao Hun asked curiously.

"To answer your question, young master, these carriages with yellow flags are actually taxis, but they are all private vehicles. If the master of the family does not need a carriage, they will ask their own grooms to drive it out for a stroll. If someone waves, they will stop and share the fare. If everything goes well, they will also pick up passengers. They have a very resounding name, called - Didi Taxi!"

"I see. I always thought that the capital was just big and prosperous, but I didn't expect that it is not only big and prosperous, but also advanced. Yes, advanced!!"

At this moment, the backwardness and depression of Liaodong formed a sharp contrast with the advancement and prosperity of the capital.

"Hun'er, this capital city is such a wonderful place! It's like heaven to me!"

Mother Zhao also sighed: "It would be great if we could live here forever!"

"Mom, don't worry. I will work hard to let you live in the capital forever, so we won't have to suffer anymore!" Zhao Hun comforted his mother and bowed to himself. He would work hard and do something to live up to the people and the court!
After touring the capital, Zhao Hun and his mother returned to their home.

"Master Zhao, His Majesty and Prince Consort Ouyang want to see you talented people, please come in!"

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Hun was so excited that he almost jumped up. After all, he had been in the capital for several days, but neither the emperor nor Prince Consort Ouyang had said they wanted to see him. Zhao Hun had also asked, and the reply he got was that their majesty and Prince Consort Ouyang were very busy, and they would only have time to see him after they were done with their work.

Zhao Hun could naturally understand it. After all, the emperor and the prime minister would definitely be very busy. He, Zhao Hun, had only ranked in the top ten in the recruitment examination. If compared with the imperial examination, he was just a Jinshi. The emperor would receive a Jinshi depending on whether he had time.

So when he received the news that he was summoned, Zhao Hun was very excited.

"Mother, my son is going to see His Majesty and His Majesty the Prince Consort!"

"My son is finally going to see them!"

Zhao Hun held his mother's hand, his joy was self-evident.

Soon, under the guidance of the project officials, Zhao Hun entered the palace as he wished and headed towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

When Zhao Hun arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there were already several people standing at the entrance. It seemed that these were also the people who were summoned. When Zhao Hun was looking at others, others were also looking at Zhao Hun.

call--

Zhao Hun became inexplicably nervous.

"Zhao Hui, calm down. You will soon meet the Emperor and Prince Consort Ouyang. Don't be nervous!"
