Soon after, all this spread in the court, and the ministers in the court originally felt that Su Jin was quite capable, but after learning all this, only four words popped up in his mind: "Wise and close to the demon!" ”

These words naturally reached Zhao Zhen's ears, Zhao Zhen was greatly admired, and in connection with Su Jin's usual behavior, Zhao Zhen half-jokingly gave Su Jin a few words in private: champion talent, heroic courage, and a face with thick city walls.

Although it was discussed in private, these words still spread far and wide, and soon became the most popular joke in Beijing; However, everyone also didn't understand this evaluation: it's okay to say that the champion talent and hero are bold, how can a face with a thick city wall not sound like a good thing, why does the emperor say this about Su Jin?

Others don't understand, in the eyes of the people around Su Jin, this assessment can be described as very appropriate, or it can be said to be a tailor-made test for Su Jin; When these words reached Su Jin's ears, Su Jin didn't say anything special except rolling his eyes, because he really didn't have time to deal with this, and Su Jin was about to go crazy.

The Ministry of Rites has announced to the world that the seventh, eighth, and third days of the first month of March are set as the day of the make-up examination in the autumn of last year, and the disturbing things have dispersed, Su Jin was shocked to find that there is not much time left for him to warm the book, Su Jin is fed up with these old bastards who talk about everything in the imperial examination, even if he has done a big thing, no matter how great a merit he has made, if he does not have a formal imperial examination status, he is afraid that he will not want to be a big official for the rest of his life.

Su Jin doesn't have to be a big official, the key is that he can't swallow this breath, look at the rich people, after an errand is done, the emperor begged him to be the privy deputy envoy, this guy is still pretending to be high, and he can't just resign, this virtue is simply dragged out of.

What Su Jin couldn't see even more was the smug faces of Du Yan's gang, a look of schadenfreude, looking at other people's unhappiness to find happiness, Zhao Zhen's promise was like a fragrant cake hanging there, provided that it could only be eaten by the imperial examination.

Sitting up in shock in the dying illness, the exam was going to be taken in ten days, and Su Jin didn't have the heart to breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Yan Biyun has managed to get a face in the prosperous area of Yingtianfu, and has just returned after raising two million yuan; The decoration of the shop on Bianhe Street in Bianliang City has also come to an end, and Yan Biyun came back to help Su Jin take care of it.

Su Jin used two days to arrange for Wang Dynasty Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others to bring the fees back to their respective divisions to ask for manpower, Yan Biyun was busy alone, and arranged for Rou Niang and Huanniang to follow Yan Biyun to listen, and then ordered Yang Xiaosi to rush to Yingtian to preside over the decoration work of Yingtianfu Yinzhuang, which basically implemented the preparatory work in the early stage.

Su Jin has never felt so tired, it turns out that opening a shop is so cumbersome, when he was in Luzhou before, he used to use his own mouth, and the old shopkeeper Zhang opened a semicolon as if it was a joke, and Zhang Luo completed it in a few days, and when it came to his own hands, he actually felt so difficult; really responds to that sentence, called look at people, eat tofu and teeth fast.

There is one of the most important things, that is, the training of the specific operation of Yinzhuang, this thing can only be done by himself, and the people brought are all Su Ji's guys, although all of them are carefully selected people, but Yinzhuang is still unfamiliar to these guys, many business details are very different from traditional trading, and the guys don't know how to operate at all, even Su Jin himself is only moving forward with the memory of later generations; Fortunately, there are not so many financial risks in this era, and the operation of Yinzhuang is relatively simple, so Su Jin concluded that the risk is not large.

The training can only be done after the exam, there is still some time before the opening of Yinzhuang, and there is still time to come, when everything is arranged, Su Jin can finally sit in the study with peace of mind and spread out those dizzying subsets of scriptures and histories, it is already late February, and the time left for Su Jin is already numbered.

Su Jin is not a person who likes to read, but he is indeed a person who is good at reading, when he was in Yingtianfu, he once created his own card reading method, and the cards hanging in the study were all excerpts, which made Wang Anshi, who entered his study, breathtaking.

And this time, Su Jin didn't have time to do that, he chose to analyze the Great Song Dynasty examination questions listed in the books that Fang Zimo gave him, and after carefully studying these exam questions and the summary opinions written by Fang Zimo in the book, Su Jin seemed to vaguely guess the pulse of the exam questions.

As early as when he was in Luzhou, Su Jin consulted Li Zhong about some things about the imperial examination, whether it was a solution to the examination or a provincial examination, the imperial examination of the Great Song Dynasty was nothing more than a trial strategy, a trial of poetry, a trial of poetry, a trial of the scriptures, and Moyi, and it was just that, those are all dead, knowing is not knowing what is not known, and there is no opportunism; Besides, these goods in Su Jin's stomach are not small, and the young man in the body who lives in the body has also read books for many years with his head covered and his head and brain, and he can cope with it by reading more before the exam; But Su Jin knew that the most important thing was the strategy.

The test theory is put together, the question gives the arguments in the past dynasties or poetry books, and the students should discuss it, expound their own views, and state their own reasoning, not only to make sense, but also to say something, and more importantly, to be practical; The difficulty lies in the last point, which is realistic, and cannot be regarded as slander and insinuation of the government, and the degree in between is very difficult to grasp; And this is what the scholars value most, the people who are important to the court can not only see the key points, but also do not boast and talk about the extremism of the language, in other words, the words of justice in the scholars, relying on the generosity of the words are not liked by the court.

Thinking about this, Su Jin's heart suddenly brightened a lot, and after carefully studying the problems of solving the test over the years, making analogies and diagrams, Su Jin suddenly made an astonishing discovery, which made him jump up, knock over the ink and books on the desk, and make a mess.

But Su Jin had no time to clean up, and hurriedly verified his major discovery, he found that from the Zhenzong Dynasty to the current dynasty, a total of 20 scholars were taken, and there were five categories of topics for solving the test, one was finance and taxation, the second was military and political, the third was the rule of officials, the fourth was foreign affairs, and the fifth was punishment; Interestingly, these five types of staggered questions are reincarnated every five subjects, and I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, coincidental or inevitable.

For example, in the first year of the Heavenly Sage, the topic of the solution to the test is: the theory of tax trade-off; In the second year of Mingdao, it was the theory of minting money, which also belonged to the category of finance and taxation; Furthermore, the title of the fourth year of Zhenzong Xianping, which was pushed to the point of ten subjects, turned out to be the 'Theory of Tea and Salt' that involved monopoly; the other categories were also shown by the above-mentioned law, and every five subjects were bound to be repeated into the same category, and since the five subjects were separated by ten to fifteen or sixteen years, even if this was a law, absolutely no one would be able to detect it.

Su Jin was a little panting with excitement, this was like playing a dumb riddle, and suddenly there was a flash of lightning in the chaos, and he found the answer at once, it turned out to be so simple.

Su Jin hurriedly verified the questions of the provincial test, this time it was a little complicated, but Su Jin still found the rule, but after solving the test, the same type of questions will not appear in the provincial test; And it is obvious that the two categories adjacent to each other must be different, so that three out of five are left, and only two categories remain.

According to this law, Su Jin quickly deduced that the scope of the strategy for this test must be in the scope of punishment, so as to deduce that the policy of the provincial test should be one of the two between the administration of officials and foreign affairs, and the extremely excited Su Jin danced in the study, and Xiao Sui'er, who brought the tea in, thought that the prince was crazy when he read it, and hurriedly came up to pinch Su Jin's people.

Su Jin picked up Xiao Sui'er and spun it around in the air a few times and laughed: "Sui'er, is the son the smartest person in the world?" ”

Xiao Sui'er was panicked and ashamed, Gongzi Ye has never been like this, I heard that people who are crazy can't disobey him, otherwise they won't be able to come back, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Gongzi is the smartest person in the world, let me go, drink a cup of tea." ”

Su Jin turned a deaf ear, stared at Xiao Sui'er for a long time, and suddenly said, "No, if it's just a coincidence, what should I do?" After that, he put down Xiao Sui'er and buried himself in the pile of papers, writing, drawing, and drawing.

Xiao Sui'er was so frightened that she hurriedly ordered the other maids to look at Su Jin, and ran to find Yan Biyun by herself; The prince is crazy, this thing is terrible.
