After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

While sneezing, Gu Nanxi went to inspect the spring farming conditions in various towns, among which Woye Town was the key observation target.

"The sea rice seeds that Su Erlang brought have sprouted. I have set aside a portion of the experimental field to plant sea rice. If we can successfully harvest it this year..."

Standing at the edge of the field, Mr. Xu looked at the endless saline-alkali land and said in an inaudible voice: "That is the blessing of all people!"

There are many saline-alkali lands like Woye Town in the Great Zhou.

In order to make sea rice grow better, Mr. Xu specially irrigated the experimental field with large amounts of clean water.

The grassland is already short of water, and the water resources in Woye Town are not so abundant.

The water used to irrigate the experimental fields was carried by farmers from far away.

If we want to make the conditions of the entire saline-alkali land the same as those of the experimental field, we don’t know how much manpower and material resources it will take.

But if the experimental field can be successful, it is at least a hope.

We cannot change the saline-alkali land all at once, but if we can change one more acre, that’s good!

Gu Nanxi looked at the small, square experimental field. The end of the farmland could be seen at a glance, but there were four soldiers guarding it. It can be seen how much importance Mr. Xu attached to this experimental field.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Wang, just do it with confidence! Behind Woye Town is Yunzhou, and the entire Yunzhou will escort you!" Gu Nanxi made a promise.

In the priority ranking of all Yunzhou affairs, military defense is definitely ranked first, and saline-alkali land transformation is ranked second.

Mr. Xu and Wang Buxi looked at each other and bowed to Gu Nanxi to express their gratitude.

Wang Buxi got the result he wanted, and returned the favor by asking, "Sir, will your eldest son also be able to take the imperial examination this year? Although I have broken with the Wang family, I still have a few close friends. Although they do not hold high positions, they are quite prestigious among the Qingliu."

"Oh? That's great. I'll leave everything to Lord Wang." Gu Nanxi knew very well that in Qingliu's eyes, he and Baichuan Academy were just like troublemakers.

Su Xuanming is going to pursue a career in politics in the future. No matter how he behaves on the surface, he should not make real enemies with these upright people in private.

"Okay, I'll write a few letters right away." Wang Buxi really wanted to follow this great general, so naturally he hoped that Gu Nanxi could help him as much as possible.

Su Xuanming smiled brightly after receiving the letter. His mother was busy but still thought about him. This feeling of being cared for made him feel warm in his heart.

Su Xuanming certainly would not let his mother down, so he started to hang out with those young talents in Qingliu.

On May 13, the sky was clear and the air was crisp, but the whole of Kyoto was still in an uproar over the latest piece of news.

On this day, the imperial court appointed Huang Qi, the Grand Secretary of Jixian Academy, as the chief examiner of the examination in Kyoto, and two bachelors from the Academy of Bachelors as deputy examiners.

Because it was a special examination, the preliminary examination and the joint examination were held at the same time.

I thought there would be two examiners, but I didn’t expect it to be the same one!

Huang Qi, the Grand Secretary of Jixian Hall, is the biological father of the current queen. His role as the chief examiner this time proves that the emperor has temporarily surpassed Grand Tutor Tong in the matter of the imperial examination!

"How could this happen?!" Chen Shihai and other Xiangzhou students were all dumbfounded.

All their preparations for the exam were based on the premise that Master Tong’s faction would be the head official!

Some students were anxious and spoke in a bad tone: "Since the chief examiner has been decided, they will enter the Imperial College in three days and set the questions! How can we prepare in just a few days? Chen Lang, didn't you say you were 100% sure?"

Chen Shihai's face also looked unhappy. The information given by the Song family was that the chief examiner this time would most likely be a great scholar from the Song family.

Therefore, he spent the past six months studying the articles and essays of the great scholar Song, trying to figure out the intentions of him and Grand Tutor Tong.

As it turned out, the examiner was not Mr. Song at all, and he was not even from Master Tong’s faction!

At this critical moment, how can we find the historical articles about Astragalus? !

Inside the Fuquan Teahouse, the students from Xiangzhou were in a gloomy mood.

Some people couldn't help but secretly blame Chen Shihai and the Song family. They were studying well in the academy, but the Song family wanted to follow Lao Shenzi's Baichuan Academy and forced students to join the training class!

"Hey, isn't this the young talent from Xiangzhou? Why do they all look so gloomy?" The student from the Imperial College who just walked in was gloating.

Chen Shihai glanced at them gloomily and said sarcastically, "You are so happy, I guess you bet on the right examiner?"

The student of the Imperial College said with a bit of ruffian tone: "No, we just bet on the right emperor! Maybe Baichuan Academy can bet on the right examiner. After all, they are really capable!"

Chen Shihai didn't believe it. How could a mere Baichuan Academy be so capable? !

The students of the Imperial College didn’t care whether he believed it or not, the truth would be revealed in the exam anyway!

I have to say that sometimes choice is more important than hard work.

This time, the students of the Imperial College have learned their lesson. Their weather vane is the Baichuan Academy! Every piece of paper that comes out of the Baichuan Academy will be considered several times by them.

Look, they bet on the right direction this time!

Three days later, the whole of Kyoto seemed to be under a spell. Even the most aggressive women on the street began to speak in a hushed voice.

The vendors stopped shouting and quietly stirred the delicacies in the pot so that the aroma would spread and attract customers.

This time, Su Xuanming had no family members to see him off to take the exam, only a little boy named Xiao Hei followed him.

While chewing on a donkey meat sesame cake, Xiao Hei said innocently, "Before leaving, the young lady told you not to eat greasy food a few days before the exam, so as to avoid diarrhea in the exam room."

Su Xuanming was silent, thinking of the light porridge and side dishes he had eaten for three or four days in a row. He didn't know whether he should thank his younger sister for her kindness.

But I have to say that my little sister's housekeeping skills are getting better and better. Even though she has been away from Kyoto for several months, the servants in the mansion still respect her words as if they were imperial decrees.

I wanted to steal a piece of mutton in the middle of the night, but failed!

"Su Dalang!" Geng Silang also came to take the exam alone. His family followed the general to Yunzhou.

At this moment, he saw the lonely Su Dalang and couldn't help feeling a sense of sympathy.

Su Dalang smiled and replied: "Geng Silang, are you ready for the exam?"

Geng Silang patted the examination basket on his elbow, his eyes full of gratitude: "These are all prepared by the academy! I heard that you and Master Liu have checked them one by one, so there will naturally be no problems."

"We still have to check what needs to be checked, just in case there is an oversight."

"Ok!"

Soon, a long queue formed outside the Imperial Examination Hall. Because they had to verify their identities before the exam, everyone came very early, and it was not yet fully light.

Several torches were lit on the high walls to illuminate the crowd.

The gatekeeper read out the names and guarantees of the candidates one by one, and the candidates entered one after another.

Before Su Xuanming went in, he turned around and looked at his classmates at Baichuan Academy: "The peach blossoms are soaring through the three layers of waves, and the osmanthus fairy climbs up to the first branch. Let's encourage each other!"

"mutual encouragement!"
