Chapter 471 begins

"Jia Fox, Jia Fox! Hahaha..." Ma Chao was very happy when he saw the report in his hand.

"Superer, are you really going to let Liu Yue deal with the salt exchange?" Diao Chan frowned, and the woman's sixth sense intuition made her feel that Ma Chao should have thought about Liu Yue.

"You can't imagine Cicada, can you? Mu Yuanfeng said in this report that Jia Fox actually fooled Li and Guo Yan's group of stupid birds not to move when Liu Xie had issued an edict of pardon. It's really awesome!" Ma Chao was excited for a moment and admired Jia Xu, and even used the modern standard praise word 'awesome'.

"Superer, I still think it's too imprude to let Liu Yue deal with this matter. If she contacted Zhang Lu because of this, wouldn't she add a strong enemy to the Ma family? Diao Chan's beautiful Emei has not stretched. She said these words leisurely, but suddenly looked back at Ma Chao.

And Ma Chao also suddenly looked at Diao Chan at this time, and his smile became dull and mechanical: the two didn't seem to be on the same channel at all. What they said was completely wrong!

At this time, Ma Chao reacted quickly. The dull mechanical smile on his face immediately changed to a frown and meditative seriousness, and his tone became low: "Yes, it's really a little risky to let Liu Yue do this. But it is difficult to prevent thieves day and night. If you just guard against Liu Yue all day long, it will be too much laborious and futile. What I mean is to let Liu Yue move. Once she shows her horse's feet, she can then take the right medicine.

"I'm afraid you want to take advantage of this incident to see if Liu Yue is moved by you?" Diao Chan curled her lips with hatred. She was very angry that she didn't react quickly as Ma Chao just now, which made Ma Chao take the lead in saying this and missed the opportunity to punish Ma Chao openly and righteously.

"How is that possible?" Joke, a man knows how to answer this kind of thing, and Ma is supernatural. He looked awe-inspiring and said righteously, "You are too worried. Naturally, someone knows about Liu Yue's matter."

"Men's mouths tell lies in the day! It's strange that I can trust you!" Seeing that Ma Chao was so brazen, Diao Chan could not change Ma Chao's decision for a moment. She was ready to leave in anger, but she was unwilling. After turning around and Ma Chao fiercely, she put on her waist and walked away.

Ma Chao, who grinned with pain, asked the sky with a painful face: "Why, why did I travel to ancient times, I can't shake my class! Did you tell Diao Chan the idea of monogamy when the blood roared that day?!!"

The Diao Chan, who hasn't been far away, suddenly heard Ma Chao's howling. A smile appeared on his face, and his mood became happy. He muttered, "Superer, I'm not a jealous person, but you are too easy to like... Forget it, let you mess around. Since you have become your wife, don't let me down..."

As soon as Diao Chan left, Zhang Ji found Ma Chao and bowed down and said, "Master, the imperial examination is ready. Will the exam officially start tomorrow?"

"How many scholars went to Fufeng for the scientific examination this time?" Ma Chao was happy to hear the words and then asked. After all, the imperial examination has been prepared for so long, and it's time to blossom and bear fruit.

"Lord, a total of 3,743 participated in this scientific examination. Among them, Yongzhou has the largest number of locals, with 2,276, and the rest of the scholars are from all counties in the Han Dynasty. Zhang Ji unfolded the file in his hand, took a look and replied.

"Very good, it's beyond my expectation. From this point of view, Derong must have been working hard again during this period of time. Ma Chao never hesitated to praise his subordinates, especially for these very dedicated ancient officials. However, after frowning slightly, he asked, "The old man Cai Yong, why didn't you agree to come to the scene in person?"

"Lord, all his subordinates have persuaded Cai, but Cai has been straightforward and stubborn and has never agreed to this matter." Zhang showed a shy expression at this time, and then said bravely, "Lord, if you let the mistress come forward, Cai may think of family affection..."

"No, anyway, Fa Zheng has arranged to talk to the outside world and say that Cai Yong will be fine that day." Thinking of Cai Yong, who was as smelly and hard as a pit stone, Ma Chao was angry and finally added, "What is this old guy doing in the county guard now?"

"It's nothing more than growing flowers as a gift, but in that word, there are many..." Zhang Yi's face darked and said cautiously. Ma Chao directly interrupted Zhang's words and said, "Do you mean to scold me?"

"I don't agree with you, but the meaning of the drifting of the Han Dynasty in the words is obvious." Zhang bowed his head and replied cautiously.

"You guys are too used to this kind of empty and false name." Ma Chao shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Listen to me, let him be a minor official under your account for a period of time, saying that he asked him to repay Chang'an's life-saving debts. First grind his arrogance, and then I have a way to convince him..."

Meeting Ma Chao's best son-in-law, Zhang had no choice but to smile bitterly, nodded and agreed, "I'm all orders." After saying that, Zhang Yi bowed and retreated, and Ma Chao also learned from the appearance of Tang Taizong's wind sao, stretched out his arms, looked up at the sky, and said with great pride: "The imperial examination is completed, and the world's handsome and talented people are all in the Ma family!"

After this day, all the princes in the world who watched the Ma family's imperial examination received the detailed report of the Ma family's imperial examination one after another. Ma Chao's first imperial examination regulations have finally set off a mysterious veil to the world.

There is a saying in the imperial examination: every scholar in the world, regardless of age. You can freely participate in the Ma family imperial examination without any background or recommendation. Yongzhou Mu Ma Chaoqin is the main examiner. It is proposed to appoint Cai Yong, Fa Yan, Wei Duan, Wei Kang, Wei Dan and other famous Hongru as the examiner. In addition, the Ministry of Ceremonies will be temporarily set up, with Fa Zheng, Zhang Ji, Bu Qian, Yang Fu, Hua Xin and various county guards to specialize in the imperial examination and the appointment and removal.

The examination subjects are divided into two types: ordinary subjects and system subjects, which are held in stages every year. There is a temporary examination subject called a system subject, which can also be called Enke. Its meaning is the grace given by the Ma family to the world's poor people, and they can be admitted as a student of the Ma family. For example, this imperial examination is the Enke opened by the Ma family.

There are more than 20 kinds of regular subjects.

In addition to the 'gentle's six arts' that scholars are more concerned about, there are also subjects such as style, policy theory, professional arithmetic, and Mingjing. Among them, policy theory accounts for a very high proportion.

The imperial examination is divided into spring and autumn examination, twice a year. The so-called spring boudoir, as the name implies, is a scientific examination held in spring. Take the number of students as a reference, after taking the examination room. Take one of ten, collectively known as Juren. When the autumn examination is held, you can enter the county guard for a big examination.

Therefore, the autumn test of the county guard can also be called the Ma family test. However, after the end of the Enke boudoir examination, he waited for the ranking, and Yongzhou Mu personally came up with the final result.

As a result, the first name is called the champion, the second name is Bangyan, and the third name is Tanhua. The Ma family selected a total of 100 scholars. The top 30 are famous by the Ma family to show their glory. They can serve in two departments in three provinces of the Ma family, or be promoted by Yongzhou Pastor to Taixue for further study or enter the court as officials. And those who fail also have two choices. First, you can start from the foundation in each county; second, you can start again in the next year. Those who fail in the first year can get subsidies from the Ma family to assist the poor in their studies.

Most of the news received by the princes only revealed the vague concept of the Ma family's imperial examination. However, even so, this imperial examination is also unique in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, creating a new channel for the Ma family to obtain talents, making those knowledgeable princes have no choice but to worry about it.
