After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

The group of scholars seemed to be convinced, and one of them said: "Okay, let me tell you what you want to bet on."

Qian Zhenniang smiled slightly, "I'll bet... as long as any of you can get sixty points on this test paper, I will let you go. Otherwise, you must stay where you are for a day and a night. No matter what happens, you will be safe." You cannot leave. Of course, meals will be provided during this period. You can also go to the toilet normally."

As soon as these words came out, not only the students of White Deer Academy were shocked, but also other people who came to take the exam.

Only the shrewd little girl just now laughed out loud.

Zhou Houfang immediately understood that the content of today’s test paper would be very difficult!

Unexpectedly, those students seemed to have been humiliated.

"It's simply ridiculous. We are all scholars, and the most inferior ones in White Deer Academy are also scholars. Is it possible that you guys who don't know a few Chinese characters will stump us with your rash questions?"

"Brother Huang, there's no need to argue with them. Let's just do the questions casually and get out of this hellish place!"

"That is, if none of us can get a score of 60 or so, it only means that the question maker's level is too low."

"Yes, what if you deliberately raise some difficult questions to embarrass the candidates in Jinzhou Prefecture?"

But the little girl stood up and said, "You are afraid that the city lord will have problems, but I am not afraid. I will compete with you! If my score is higher than yours, you have to do what the sister said and stay here all day and night."

"Okay! Little girl, don't say we bully you then!"

The little girl smiled and showed her fangs, with a look of success in her eyes, "I just hope that some people will not refuse to pay when they lose!"

Soon, Zhou Houfang got the second piece of information.

The scholars were simple and still wondering why they were left here all day and night if they lost.

But Zhou Houfang had already figured out Secretary Qian's intention.

This is in front of the government office, with people coming and going. The students from Bailu Academy failed to pass 60 points and are trapped here. The reputation of these people will resound throughout Jinzhou Prefecture the next day!
I am afraid that people in Jinzhou Prefecture will question the standard of Bailu Academy in the future.

Especially losing to a little girl again.

Secretary Qian really looks kind, but is full of evil inside.

Zhou Houfang actually felt a little inexplicably relieved.

But I also became more anxious about the exam content.

Sure enough, Zhou Houfang's breath suffocated the moment she got it, and then she heard a student next to her cry out.

Soon someone shouted "Quiet" to maintain discipline in the examination room.

Zhou Houfang quickly browsed the test paper, and then panicked in her heart, only two words came out.

Tricky!

This question is too tricky!
Zhou Houfang believed that the Zhou family was also a scholarly family, and the family also hired a talented and famous teacher from Jinzhou Prefecture to teach her from an early age. When it came to talent and literature, she, Zhou Houfang, was somewhat famous among the ladies of Jinzhou Prefecture.

What's more, she loves arithmetic more than poetry and scripture posts. Therefore, she prides herself on being quite proficient in arithmetic.

However, she was confused when she got the first question.

——There are twelve books in a wooden box, two of which are orphan copies. If two books are drawn from the box, what is the chance of drawing an orphan copy.

——Beside Yiguan Road, it is required to plant at least one cypress tree every four pine trees on the left side, and one cypress tree every six pine trees on the right side. In the end, a total of thirty-three trees will be planted on both sides. What is the maximum number of cypress trees that can be planted? tree?
——Please write the appropriate number formation rules in the following numbers. Twelve, four, eight, six, seven,?
——Three years later, Wang Da will be three times the age of Zhang San and two years younger. After five years, Wang Da will be five years more than twice the age of Zhang San. After another ten years, what will be Wang Da’s age?

Seeing these questions, even Zhou Houfang, who had sharpened his skills before the exam, just wanted to shout out.

"God, please kill me——"

Zhou Houfang turned around and found a student from White Deer Academy next door shouting like this.

It seemed like she wasn't the only one who found it difficult.

"Quiet!" Soon an examiner shouted, "If you shout again, your score will be invalid!"

Zhou Houfang was sweating profusely.

The students at White Deer Academy are all as good as chickens at this moment. They no longer whisper about the pencils they use, they no longer discuss the presence of women in the examination room, and they no longer laugh at the chicken claw handwriting written by the little girl next door.

They were all furious, holding their pens in their hands and writing furiously, with sweat pouring down their foreheads.

With the blue sky and white sun, they actually felt that it was even more chilling than winter!

What a crooked question this is!

How could anyone come up with such a tricky question?
It was only at this moment that the fifty or sixty students realized where the confident and calm smile on the face of the female examiner came from.

But when this heart-wrenching moment occurred, the little girl who also participated in the bet kept her head down, completely ignoring the disturbances from the outside world, and only focused on the exam paper.

The nearest person glanced at it and then became confused.

This little girl... is actually doing the questions!

She took a piece of draft paper with strange symbols listed on it. She seemed to be muttering something in her mouth, and soon turned over the exam paper.

That sound... was like a heavy drum beating on everyone's hearts!
People with arrogance and talent put all their hopes on the final policy. Unfortunately, the policy only has two major topics.

The first one is to discuss in detail the five-year development plan of Qianzhou based on its landforms and customs.

The second one is to explain the rules and principles of the earth dragon turning over and the tengu eating the sun.

Someone lost his pen in a hurry.

Someone simply tore up the test paper and shouted: "The person who asked this question has ulterior motives, and he dares to make false claims about the law of the earth dragon turning over and the sky dog ​​eating the sun! There is an ancient saying, it is said that all the people in the world cannot govern each other, so a king should be established for it. Governing them. If the ruler is virtuous, then the plants, trees and insects will find their place; if the ruler is unvirtuous, he will be banished to heaven and earth, and disasters will occur, which will not be cured. This shows that the earth dragon's transformation is due to the emperor's improper moral conduct, which leads to the unrighteousness of the emperor. Help, let the people suffer with him. He Xu Zhenying is so courageous, he dares to insult His Majesty!"

Maybe the voice was too loud and disturbed the little girl from doing the questions. She looked up from the test paper in displeasure and said angrily: "Brother, if you don't know how to do it, can you shut your mouth first? The most annoying thing is not studying. Shallow, ignorant people who like to yell!”

"You little girl..."

"Shut up!" the little girl yelled, scaring all the scholars at White Deer Academy to tremble.

What a fierce little girl!
Look at this posture and demeanor, and look at her full test paper, this damn girl can't really do it all, can she?
How can it be? !
The students at White Deer Academy were so stimulated that they flipped through their papers, trying to find questions they could answer.

Little did he know that the person who asked the question had sinister intentions!
Obviously, during the imperial examination, you only need to write a policy essay, but the two policy essay questions in this test paper only add up to forty points.

In other words, their strategy must score full marks, and they must also do the first 60 points of arithmetic questions correctly.

For God's sake, kill him.

But many students from White Deer Academy were shocked when they got this test paper. Unlike the previous group of students who made trouble and accused the person who asked the question of being tricky, they could see at a glance that the question was clever and very close to life and daily affairs.

I heard that the land allocation work in Lan County is very popular. It involves many land allocation issues, such as calculating the per capita farm area under different allocation methods, and calculating the depth of the aqueduct. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance. , this question is quite in-depth.

Smart people have already figured out why Xu Zhenying had to take them from the land reclamation area to take this test.

She wants these students to have an in-depth understanding of her governing philosophy.

Among this group of people, Huang Weiguang and Liao Chaoyun started writing furiously as soon as they got the test papers. The further they went, the more they felt that Xu Zhenying was different from ordinary bandits.

At least the cultural quality of this bandit is very high.

From this test paper, it is reflected that their governance philosophy is completely opposite to that of the Zhou Dynasty. After reading the entire article, we can see that Xu Zhenying valued people's livelihood and despised the monarch. He mentioned revitalizing the commercial economy and improving people's wealth many times in the examination paper.

The concept that all men are created equal seems to run through from beginning to end.

This is a completely new political concept.

At this moment, Huang Weiguang even saw the big hand behind Zhou Fengyun through this test paper.

When everyone was thinking about taking responsibility, the little girl stood up first, and then walked towards the examiner with a relaxed expression.

Everyone stared at her in shock.

Is this done?
All done?

Has she finished all the tricky math problems in front of her?
Song Luo presented the test paper to Qian Zhenniang respectfully, and then boldly raised his eyes to glance at the person behind the curtain!
The legendary Qian Zhenniang!
As a woman, she became one of the youngest people in power in Jinzhou Prefecture!

He looked so kind and kind.

The key is that the appearance is very beautiful!
Song Luo's eyes widened——

Qian Zhenniang noticed a strong gaze, then raised her head and looked at the woman. Seeing her staring at her blankly, Qian Zhenniang raised her eyebrows: "I have collected the test papers. I will mark them now. You can wait next to me." A moment." "Okay, thank you, Secretary Qian!"

Somehow, just now he was able to keep his composure while facing thousands of troops and scolding her, but now he only said a word to Qian Zhenniang, and Song Luo's face turned red.

She tried her best to look calm and walked to the side and sat down.

In fact, I feel happy!

Oh my God, she actually saw Qian Zhenniang. This time she had to show off to her classmates when she went back.

Qian Zhenniang, the figure who appears behind all policy implementers is right in front of you now——

That was the object of her worship.

With Song Luo handing in his paper ahead of schedule, the ten examiners and graders were already gearing up and eagerly preparing to score.

Soon, Zhou Houfang also stood up and handed in the paper.

She seemed to be a little entangled. After much thought, she couldn't solve the questions, so she had to hand in the papers.

Fortunately, she had prepared for this exam before. She ordered her maid to get a set of tutorials for all courses in Lan County, and she lit up and stayed up late to read them.

Even so, she still found the questions difficult.

People began to submit papers one after another, but students from White Deer Academy were not among them.

The students were anxious, and they all looked at Huang Weiguang, the best among them, and asked about the situation.

Huang Weiguang was completely immersed in those topics and had no time to be distracted. Sharp-eyed students took a look at Huang Weiguang's test paper and found that he was different from his usual self-confidence. His speed was extremely slow. Even when it was almost time to hand in the paper, he was still doing the previous arithmetic questions!

As soon as those students saw that posture, they knew it was over.

It’s over.

This time it's really over.

Among them, I am afraid that none of them can reach 60 points.

At this moment, they suddenly understood why the female examiner proposed that bet.

If you lose, you have to stay in your original position for a day and a night!
After all the candidates left, only the students from White Deer Academy were still sitting here. Tomorrow the entire Jinzhou Prefecture would know that they failed miserably in the exam!

The people of Jinzhou Prefecture will question the standard of Bailu Academy, and even the headmaster and teachers will lose face!
God, what a vicious thought!
No, there is still a glimmer of hope. That dead girl just watched the work done, and may not be able to do anything against it.

They didn't believe that those arithmetic questions were so tricky and vicious, even if they were serious people who had studied "Arithmetic", "Arithmetic" and other courses from the Master, it was very difficult to do them.

If they, a group of talented people, all find it difficult, then there may not be many people in the entire Zhou Dynasty who can do it!
Correct.

They don't need to panic, maybe this is all the other party's deliberate pretense, deliberately making them confused.

And Song Luo is waiting for his results.

She raised her chin slightly and sat condescendingly, looking at the group of scholars with different faces below.

Hum, I told you to look down on us women, now you know how powerful we are.

The scholars are like thorns.

Time slowly slipped away in a state of anxiety.

I don’t know how they determined the time. There was no hourglass or sundial at the scene, but somehow, after they looked at the ghost talisman on the disk next to it, Qian Zhenniang knocked on the table and said in a clear voice: "When the time is up, candidates should stop writing."

At that moment, the scholars all frowned and slumped in their positions as if all their strength had been taken away.

Qian Zhenniang smiled slightly, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes, but she didn't say anything. She just said to the person next to her: "Get ready to post the answers to the test paper."

Zhou Houfang did not leave.

Because Qian Zhenniang had said before the exam that after the exam, someone would immediately post the answers at the entrance of the government office, so you could check the answers on your own right away.

The final scored test papers will also be sent to the candidates so that they can confirm their scores.

Zhou Houfang had to express his admiration for this move.

She had just finished her exam and was waiting at the gate of the government office before she left.

Outside the government office, other students taking exams did not leave either. They all waited quietly for the soldiers to post their answers.

"coming!"

Someone soon shouted.

Everyone immediately gathered around him, and then there was a burst of sighs and sighs of annoyance.

"Sure enough, I got the first question wrong!"

"Hey, I shouldn't have hesitated. This hesitation made me wrong!"

"God, why did I make so many mistakes? Why is the answer to the third question six and not eight?"

Zhou Houfang hid in the crowd, feeling equally excited.

This was the first time in her life that she had taken such a serious exam, not to mention that she was doing so behind her mother's back.

She seemed to have broken through some kind of confinement and felt a strange sense of freedom.

She was curious whether those students would have the same mentality as her when they looked at the results.

What's more, she is still checking the answers now, not looking at the results, but her heart is already beating hard.

"Brother Lu, congratulations, your arithmetic questions are all correct!" A burst of congratulations came from the crowd, "You are indeed a candidate from Lan County. Lan County has done the earliest and most solid comprehensive education work. According to Lu Brother, with these grades, I’m afraid there’s no chance of admission——”

The young man named Lu Shiwen who was surrounded by people declined with a cheerful face: "Everyone, the final results haven't come out yet. There are still 40 points for the essay questions. The outcome is not yet known. Don't rush to congratulate me yet." .”

"Oh, you can get all the difficult math questions right, and the essay questions at the back are definitely not a problem!"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, there are so many talented people here in Jinzhou Prefecture, I...who am I—"

"Brother Lu is too humble. Let me tell you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the people of Lan County! The City Lord's comprehensive education started in Lan County. We Lan County people have learned more than others. For several months, we have gained a head start. Who knows how long it will take for the city lord to attack other cities in the future. If we occupy a position first, we will be promoted faster in the future."

"Yes, yes, that's the truth. Fortunately, our family has followed the city lord to come to Lan County to develop. If we were still taking the exam at the original place, I don't know how many people there would be."

"I heard that the two examination centers in Lan County and Ye County combined have at least a thousand candidates this time!"

The fellow travelers gasped.

Even people in Jinzhou Prefecture who were actively preparing for the exam came over to listen to the news.

Although they are now on the territory of Jinzhou Prefecture, they are far less well-informed than the people of Lan County.

Who told the people of Lan County to have the upper hand? They had their own people in every key position.

There are people here, and the information must be first-hand.

"So, it doesn't matter how many people we have in Jinzhou Prefecture. All three examination rooms have the same questions. We have to compete with more than a thousand people."

"God, isn't this... isn't this more difficult than the previous imperial examination?"

The man looked mysterious and said: "It's hard to say. There are more people who can read now. If you pick anyone on the streets of Lan County, they can read. As long as they can read, they can read by themselves. Not to mention those four arithmetic operations and Mathematics questions test whether your brain is flexible. Everyone in Jinzhou Prefecture has opportunities now. As long as you are willing and willing to work hard, there are great opportunities for promotion!"

"This is exactly the reason! Our city lord likes to work hard, and we are most disgusted by people who are flattering, cheating, and cheating. People like us are honest and can only work hard. We don't know how to cater to the top, and we don't know how to flatter people. It’s a great success!”

"That's right. In Lan County, there was a clerk who ate for free at the wonton stall in front of the county government office several times. Then someone saw him. He lost his job as a clerk because of a few tens of pennies. He regretted it. ! As long as we go in and work hard, the city lord will definitely see our achievements!"

Everyone nodded frequently.

Zhou Houfang listened carefully and thoughtfully.

Unexpectedly, the people under this rebel were actually more honest than the officials of the Zhou Dynasty.

If they follow their management method, wouldn't the total amount of charcoal and ice filial piety paid by father's subordinates every year be enough to confiscate families and exterminate clans?
