The next morning, Yun Xihe finished his breakfast and was about to go out when he suddenly froze again.

There was still a tray at the door, and there was still a big apple on the tray, which was red and very attractive.

She was already used to it and asked Xiaoli to put the apple away.

Then he continued walking to the high platform in the square.

Today is the last one to count. Many people left the field in anger after losing the competition in the past few days. As of today, there are not many left who are still insisting on participating in the competition.

Tuoba Kui's white robe still made him the most conspicuous among the crowd.

Qin Xuanling on the side was dressed in a green shirt and stood like a pine jade, while Chu Sheng still had the graceful look. It was not until he saw Tuoba Kui's eyes that glanced over him inadvertently that his expression changed slightly.

"Your Majesty Tuoba is polite." Chu Sheng had a smile on his face and looked serious. He was completely different from the crazy, kneeling and crying look he had yesterday.

Tuoba Kui chuckled and said, "Prince Sheng is also polite." He also looked like he would not lose.

Qin Xuanling, who was caught in the middle, raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were like cold stars and autumn water, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

At this time, Song Qian, the Minister of Rites, had already announced on the high platform, "Today's calculation competition will be in the form of a paper..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up, "Is it so simple?"

But as the etiquette officer handed out the papers one after another, everyone started to frown again. "

"There are the I Ching and Bagua, there are measurements and water power...it just doesn't work."

"... Let me calculate the county's finance and tax... I'm not a parent official, how do I know..."

"...drilling rivers and digging canals...not to mention figuring out the materials to use, I don't even know how to build embankments...Hey, isn't this the question that was originally planned for the exam?"

Everyone sighed, and finally realized belatedly that this was the test plan proposed by Yun Xihe at that time, and was a question prepared for Dashun to recruit talents!

It turns out that practical administration is not an easy task!

"This is the real test of talent. Reading is not only about understanding the truth, but also about governing the world." Some of the judges responsible for the evaluation sighed. Not every scholar can learn this, so he sat still and wrote the numbers of drawings.

Science is not easy either.

If you can get high scores in this math subject, you will be really smart.

——

At the same time, the Western Region.

Ye Shifang's business has been doing better and better recently.

She quickly took root in the Western Region, and recently had business dealings with several big shops in Xiliang. She shipped a batch of tea from Dashun to Xiliang, and sold it at a high price. Gradually, her reputation also increased.

Just beat him out.

Ye Shifang was watching his men loading a batch of silk to Chang'an when he suddenly heard a shout from beside him,

"Mrs. Shifang."

The voice was low but clear enough for her to hear clearly. Ye Shifang looked subconsciously and saw a businessman dressed in Xiliang clothes coming to the intersection at some point. He looked strange, but the businessman's keen sense of smell made her realize,

This is a big deal.

Ye Shifang's eyes fell on him, raised her hand and said, "Please come in."

The merchant nodded, but then shook his head, "Mrs. Shifang, I heard that your caravan is going to Chang'an this time...can you do me a favor? I will give you a big thank you after you do it."

Ye Shifang responded, "Tell me about it?" She neither agreed nor rejected immediately.

The merchant waved his hand, and the accompanying servants hurriedly handed over a brocade box, "Mrs. Shifang, I admire your character... Can you help bring this dragon bone to Chang'an and auction it for money?"

Dragon bone...

Ye Shifang's eyes lit up slightly. She remembered that her boss had said that she wanted to do business to make money in order to buy a dragon bone. Didn't it just come to her door now?

But, this thing that comes to your door...

Then Ye Shifang asked again, "It is rumored that the price of these dragon bones you harvested is six million taels. Such a large amount of silver... do you believe me?"

The merchant smiled slightly and said, "Who can't see it in this Western Region? You, a woman, rely on General Yunqi to be able to stand in this Western Region. I can trust General Yunqi's character."

I see.

Ye Shifang nodded, and her expression returned to calm. In any case, this is what the boss needs... She smiled, "What you are saying is that if you can run away, a monk can't run away from the temple... From here

It will take half a month to get to Chang'an at the earliest. You can come and collect the money then."

The money she has here is not enough for six million taels, and she needs her boss to raise more.

The merchant sighed, "Can it be faster?"

Ye Shifang asked in confusion, "Are you short of money?"

The merchant looked troubled, as if he was suffering from something that was difficult to express, and said no more.

Ye Shifang frowned and said, "If you are in a hurry... I have four million dollars worth of goods in this shop, and I will also ask you... to call a team of people to travel day and night to escort the box to Chang'an.

Go, but the fastest way is that it will take three days to get there..."

When the merchant heard that he could reach Chang'an in three days, he finally agreed with a smile, "Okay." In this way, he had accomplished what the Lord ordered.

——

In the square, everyone was still talking about it.

A great scholar impatiently picked up the ruler in his hand and dropped it, "Quiet! Today is the last event of this wedding ceremony. All young talents must show their true skills..."

...The last scene was over, and the light was right in front of them. In an instant, everyone fell silent, either bowing their heads in meditation or writing furiously at their desks. Only Chu Sheng stood up unhurriedly and bowed his hands in a very exaggerated manner.

,"yes."

He was the only loud voice in the square. Although his voice was clear, it still startled people.

Although Da Ru recognized him as King Sheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he still had a bad attitude toward him. He still remembered King Sheng's performance in the past few days. He could not do anything one day... Just with this ability

Do you just want to marry the princess of Dashun? What a beautiful idea!

"Stop talking! Answer quickly!" The scholar snorted coldly and looked at the ruler in his hand.

Chu Sheng looked at Qin Xuanling with a leisurely attitude, sitting upright with a calm expression, writing non-stop with the pen in his hand... Tsk, do you really want to marry Yun Xihe?

How can this king allow you to achieve your wish?

He laughed out loud and said loudly that everyone present could hear,

"I don't need to worry about it, teacher... Everyone doesn't know yet, right? Princess Xihe!" He stretched out his hand and pointed toward the high platform.

"She is the biological daughter of my royal aunt, Emperor Yongde, and my cousin. I came here this time to marry my cousin. How can this matter of getting married be just a competition?

Influenced?"

this......

One stone stirs up thousands of waves.

Everyone in the square was in an uproar instantly. They no longer cared about answering any math questions, "What?"

"So there's an inside story?"

"No wonder...no wonder Prince Sheng is so confident!"

"Then what are we competing against? I'm a cousin, a concubine...are you kidding us?"

"..."

Qin Xuanling couldn't calm down, and finally dropped the pen in his hand. His expression became extremely scary, and he turned his head to look at Tuoba Kui with questions in his eyes.

Although he didn't speak, he already made his intention clear.

Tuoba Kui spread his hands with an innocent face, "Why are you looking at me like this? I didn't tell him."

After a pause, he added with a smile, "But there is no need for the prince to be so angry. People will know about it sooner or later, and it is not something shameful."

He even had a slight expectation in his heart that after today, everything would become even more different.

The emperor of Dashun could not marry a foreign woman as his queen.

What about you, Qin Xuanling?

You also know that Qin Cang is about to die...
