The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 374

[Chapter 374 You can do it!]

According to previous rules, the two questions on the policy discussion were determined by the examiner appointed by the Ministry of Rites, but this time the questions were inspired by the Emperor of Chu.

There is no other reason than to see what the scholars of the world have to say about the two problems facing the court today.

Of course, the Emperor of Chu did not expect these scholars to answer what Zichou Yinmao was, as long as they had something to say.

As long as one person from each place can answer a key point, it will be of great benefit to the court if they come together. This is what the so-called brainstorming means.

Emperor Chu thought so and looked at the examination paper in his hand.

The disaster in the Central Plains was not a natural disaster.

The first sentence made Emperor Chu frown tightly.

He has read a lot of provincial examination papers and countless excellent policy essays, but this is the first time he has seen someone start like this.

Moreover, the words are amazing!

The direct cause of the famine in the Central Plains is undoubtedly two consecutive years of severe drought, but the first sentence of this policy overturns this point.

Since it is not a natural disaster, it is a man-made disaster.

In other words, man-made disasters are the court’s problems, and the court’s problems are the emperor’s problems.

Anyone with a little bit of brain can figure this out.

When Emperor Chu saw this sentence, he was not angry. He just frowned and continued reading.

After looking at it for about a stick of incense, his brows gradually relaxed.

The content of this policy paper can be said to be to the point, pointing directly at the many shortcomings of the imperial court, and finally reached a conclusion.

The famine in the Central Plains may have been caused by a natural disaster, but the main reason was the court’s inability to provide disaster relief. In addition, the more important reason was the court’s long-standing Dingyin system.

This is just a brief mention.

There is no deeper answer given later, but many disaster relief methods are proposed, as well as methods to increase food production.

“Hey”

Emperor Chu put down the examination paper and sighed deeply.

Every point mentioned in this policy paper, he knew in his heart that it was indeed true.

But as the emperor, there really is no suitable solution.

After all, the interests of many people are involved,

and the weight of many people is too great to move. If we act rashly, it will definitely cause a disaster no less than famine in the Central Plains.

Emperor Chu lowered his head and began to think deeply.

I don’t know how long it took, but he finally raised his eyes to look at Liu Cheng behind him and ordered: “Tell them, after reading this examination paper, I am very comforted. The imperial court has such scholars who care about the people. Fortunately.”

When Liu Cheng heard this, his eyes showed shock. He was stunned for a second, and then he hurriedly bowed and said, “Yes, Your Majesty!”

The long-prepared provincial examination is over.

Fang Xiu was lying on the rocking chair in Fang Mansion, playing cards with a few maids, and felt bored for a while, as if he had suddenly lost a goal in his life.

Of course, this emotion only appeared for a moment and then disappeared without a trace.

“Explode!”

Fang Xiu threw out a deck of cards in his hand, looked at the little maids with a smile, and asked, “Anyone picked it up?”

When the few little maids saw four identical cards, they all shook their heads and sighed.

When Fang Xiu saw this, the smile on his face became even brighter. He threw away all the cards in his hand and was about to say something.

A voice came from the direction of the courtyard door: “I owe you a thousand taels of silver.”

Fang Xiu turned his head and saw Wu Yi walking in front of him.

He was holding a banknote from Baolefang in his hand, and his whole body was as weak as a dead eggplant. Looking at his appearance, he seemed to have experienced a lot of suffering.

The formerly rosy face was now only pale, and even when speaking, he seemed to have little strength.

He is simply more depressed than he was before he became a captain.

Fang Xiu reached out and took the banknote handed to him, took a look at it, and found that it was indeed correct.

The banknote from Baolefang is one thousand taels of silver.

Although he knew he had found a way to make money, he never expected that in just a few days, he would be able to earn a thousand taels.

Fang Xiu looked at Wu Yi with some surprise and asked: “Is it so profitable to do that?”

Wu Yi heard this, turned to Fang Xiu with a gloomy gaze and looked at him: “You know everything?”

Fang Xiu saw him With this miserable look, he winked at Xiu’er.

Xiu’er immediately understood, stood up, bowed respectfully, and said softly: “I’ll go make tea for you,”

and then turned around and left the yard.

Seeing this, the other maids also got up and left.

Suddenly, only Fang Xiu and Wu Yi were left in the yard.

“What are you standing for? Sit down first.”

Fang Xiu looked at Wu Yi with enthusiasm.

Wu Yi was still as sluggish as before, so he grabbed a chair and sat down.

At this time, Fang Xiu pushed his teacup in front of him and said, “Don’t talk in a hurry, have a cup of tea first.”

“No more, I’m here to give you a banknote. When the banknote is delivered, I Let’s rest for a while and leave later.”

Wu Yi said weakly.

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was slightly startled and asked in surprise: “Will you be busy later?”

Wu Yi nodded and said with emotion: “Making money is not easy. I used to hold the money in the house and didn’t feel much. It wasn’t until today that I realized

how difficult it was to get every penny of this money. When I thought about how much money I had thrown away in vain in the land of Yanliu in Yirenju, I felt like “” At

this point, He reached out and covered his chest, as if he was really in great pain.

Even people like Fang Xiu felt a little sad when they saw this scene.

This former well-known playboy and spendthrift in the capital, the most common thing he did when he went out was to throw away money, often in the amount of more than ten taels.

Nowadays, life has tortured me into this state, which really

makes me want to laugh!

Fang Xiu suppressed his smile, looked at Wu Yi, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said: “Come on, I believe in you, I still have four thousand taels of silver, you will definitely be able to do it, you will definitely be able to do it!”

In the past !

, upon hearing this, Wu Yi might start a fight, point at Fang Xiu and yell at him.

However, at this moment, he didn’t even have the strength to curse. He just looked at Fang Xiu with a firm look on his face and said solemnly: “In order to be able to go to the border and make achievements, all these hardships don’t matter.”

Although these words were said feebly, they gave people a feeling of awe.

After hearing this, Fang Xiu’s expression became very strange.

It seems that he still underestimated the eldest young master of the Wu family.

I really didn’t expect that he would go to this point just to go to the border.

I originally thought he was just acting on a whim, but now it seems that is not the case
