Be an official

The winter test is the first test of the Kunqian Kingdom, and the summer test is the last test of the following year. It is selected from the severe cold and heat. Those who take the test must withstand the physical test, and then the spiritual test.

The general examination is divided into military examination and literary examination, and you can choose one or two of them to participate.However, in order to ensure a high ranking, most people still give priority to one test.

Shao Yan had never taken the abbot examination. Although the emperor ordered him to be the chief examiner, the official department was still in charge of the layout of the venue, the content of the examination, and the size and size of the examination. He only needed to go through it.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is a rather old man named Chao Zhongren. Transfer and other matters are the easiest places to form cliques, but this Chao Zhonghan is withdrawn and surly, and Shao Yan has never heard of any incidents about him.

In the cabinet study room of the imperial palace, Chao Zhongren and Shao Yan sat side by side. Shao Yan looked down at the arrangements of the Ministry of Officials one by one. The proposals were detailed, and almost everything Shao Yan hadn't thought of was written in.

"You can stay in the inn at half price with the document... Does Mr. Chao disagree with this official's idea? The announcement did not explain this." Shao Yan asked a question.

Chao Zhongren stroked his gray beard, frowned, and his eyebrows were a little white. When he looked at people with his eyes, he always felt a little angry, and said loudly, "There has never been such a rule in my dynasty. The candidates will pay for the examination expenses, and the prime minister does not want it." When you think about it, you think about it."

Shao Yan smiled wryly, whether Chao Zhongren was strict or clear, Shao Yan always felt that he didn't like him very much, even though he didn't deliberately make things difficult for him in the court, but he often treated him with cruel eyes, which made him very depressed.

Shao Yan waved his hand, "Mr. Chao, at least four of the students participating in the examination are from poor families. They have studied hard for many years, and their family has little money. The funds for this journey plus the need to live in the capital for more than half a month. This sum of money is not a small amount." .Shao Yan was born in a family of bitter cold since he was a child, and he has suffered deeply. Please, Mr. Chao, think deeply about it."

Chao Zhongren looked up at him, and said in a thoughtful tone, "Master Shao became famous when he was young. Everyone knows that even if he deliberately conceals it, his meritorious service is indestructible. I am asking who in the world can compare with Master Shao." Woolen cloth"

Shao Yan smiled, and only heard Chao Zhongren continue, "Being a centurion is better than being a scholar. But in a peaceful and prosperous country, reversal is also the overall situation. Master Shao's resourcefulness and courage really surprised Chao."

This is really ironic. Shao Yan felt ashamed. He said that he had given up his post as a mighty general. In the era when there was no war in the country, the civil servants in the court were the most popular. A pool of deep water.

Shao Yan rolled up his sleeves, "Master Chao's words are very true, and I also think so. However, students from poor families will try first to realize their ambitions, second to glorify the lintel, and third, this is the word money."

He stood up and respectfully bowed to Chao Zhongren, "I will make up for the remaining half of the funds for folk inns, guest houses, houses, and houses by myself. I also ask Mr. Chao to think carefully about finding a good way out for the poor disciples in the world." After finishing speaking, he left, leaving the thoughtful Chao Zhongren staring at him, unable to curse even if he wanted to.

When Shao Yan returned to the mansion, he saw the carriage outside the mansion at the door, looked at the sign on the carriage, and thought silently, since he was reborn, in just half a year, the prime minister's mansion has been full of people.

Rong Lingjun's face was still a little pale, and he forced himself to say to Chen Huanluo who was grinding, "If Huanluo needs Lingjun's land in the future, Lingjun will definitely die."

Rong Lingjun was a little embarrassed when he didn't get a reply. He turned his head and looked hard at the young man sitting in front of the window writing. Although his brows were cold, it looked like a flower under the ice, gentle and calm.

Chen Huanluo put a piece of ink that had just been written in front of him, and said calmly, "This is a prescription, drink it twice a day, and you will be cured after half a month."

Rong Lingjun grinned again.

Chen Huanluo turned his head suddenly, looked at the man coming from the green bamboo detour, his eyes darkened with emotion, remembering Bai Zhaoyu's words, when he put away his thoughts, he saw Shao Yan striding up to him, "Frowning, what are you thinking?"

Shao Yan followed and closed the door, "It's getting cold, don't open it again." Then he turned to Rong Lingjun and said, "Young Master Rong, your complexion is better."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern." Rong Lingjun glanced at Chen Huanluo, and said with some reluctance, "Huan Luo, then I'll leave first." He came here today just to thank Chen Huanluo, and he felt chills all over after sitting for a while , head heavy, a little unbearable.

Chen Huanluo nodded, and Shao Yan said, "Housekeeper, send Young Master Rong home."

"Yes."

After everyone in the room had left, Shao Yan went to the bed in the room and lay down, heaved a sigh of relief, "I am exhausted to death."

"The prime minister's bedroom is more comfortable than here." Chen Huanluo sat far away.

Shao Yan put his head on his arms and looked up at the gauze tent, "But there is no smell of medicine there, and there is no one to talk with."

Chen Huanluo's heart moved, and he asked hesitantly, "Prime Minister, why...won't you marry a wife?"

Shao Yan turned over and sat up, pulling the knots of the tent casually, "If you have a lover in your heart, you can't find it, so you don't want to marry a wife."

Chen Huanluo lowered his head, as if he was looking at his own hand, or as if it was just a point of nothingness, he said silently several times in his heart, there was someone he admired, someone he admired... It turned out that he had already had someone he admired.

The next day.

As soon as the document was issued and the notice at the gate of the city was posted, it caused people to compete to see it and hear about it.

——Those who hold the examination papers will live in the hostel, and the money will be halved. I hope the students will tell each other to show the peace of the exam. I hope that the child will become a dragon and serve the court in the future——

"This is what you asked me to see." Chen Huanluo said, lowered his head and drank the tea in his hand, and the people were bustling and noisy under the window on the second floor.

Shao Yan refilled the tea for him, "Take you out for a walk, you are busy with medical skills and medicinal materials every day, it's not good to be bored in the mansion."

"I'm the doctor." Chen Huanluo complained in a low voice. He still has one month left, and he will also take the medical officer's exam after that. The medical officer's exam has been postponed for a long time and is even more stringent. For several volumes.

"I'm afraid this is the prime minister's idea," Chen Huanluo said.

Shao Yan nodded proudly, "In this way, students who study can save more than half of their expenses. This method kills many birds with one stone, such as the cost of paper and ink."

"What about the remaining half of the money?"

Shao Yan raised his eyebrows triumphantly at him, Chen Huanluo heard the continuous noise downstairs, someone said, "I heard that this is the attention of the Prime Minister."

"The Prime Minister really loves the people like a son, this is not a small amount of money."

"Of course the palace cannot be paid by an official, so when our emperor heard about this, he asked the Ministry of Households to transfer the money."

"But in the end, the Prime Minister still has to worry about it." Someone immediately followed and echoed.

There was a bit of a smile in Chen Huanluo's eyes, and he said with a light smile, "As expected...kills many birds with one stone"

Shao Yan smiled as he picked up food for him, listening to the common people's discussion, looking at the person in front of him, his brows lightened.
