"Jia fox, Jia fox! Hahaha......." Ma Chao saw the report in his hand, and his face was simply smiling chrysanthemums, and he was very happy.

"Chao'er, do you really plan to let Liu Yue deal with the matter of the Salt Exchange?" Diao Chan frowned, and the woman's sixth sense intuition made her feel that Ma Chao should have moved thoughts about Liu Yue.

"Cicada, you can't think of it, right? Mu Yuanfeng said in this report that Jia Fox actually fooled Li Dao Guo Yan's group of stupid birds when Liu Xie had already issued an edict of pardon, which is really awesome! Ma Chao was so excited for a while that he admired Jia Xu so much that he even used the modern standard praise word ''.

"Chao'er, I still think it's a bit too reckless to let Liu Yue deal with this matter. If she contacted Zhang Lu because of this, wouldn't it be another strong rival for the Ma family? Diao Chan's good-looking eyebrows have 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 the smile on his face became dull and mechanical: the two of them didn't seem to be on the same channel at all, and what they said was completely not on the horse's mouth!

At this time, Ma Chao reacted quickly, and the sluggish and mechanical smile on his face immediately changed to a frowning and contemplative seriousness, and his tone became low: "Yes, it is indeed a bit risky to let Liu Yue do this." But day and night prevention, it is difficult to prevent house thieves. If you just guard against Liu Yue all day long, it will be too manpower and financial resources and in vain. What I mean is to let Liu Yue move, once she shows her feet, then she can take the right medicine. ”

"I'm afraid, you want to take advantage of this incident to see if Liu Yue is tempted by you, right?" Diao Chan pouted with hatred, she was very annoyed that she didn't react quickly as Ma Chao just now, so Ma Chao was the first to say this, and she missed the opportunity to punish Ma Chao openly.

"How is that possible?" Just kidding, this kind of thing, a man knows how to answer, and Ma Chaonaturally is no exception, with an awe-inspiring appearance, and said righteously: "Cicada is too worried, Liu Yue's matter, a certain person naturally knows it in his heart." ”

"A man's mouth, lies are told in the daylight! It's strange that I can believe you! Seeing Ma Chao so brazen, Diao Chan couldn't change Ma Chao's decision for a while, and was ready to leave in a huff, but he was unwilling, and after turning around and slamming Ma Chao, he swung his waist and left.

And Ma Chao, who grinned in pain, asked Cangtian with a painful face: "Why, why did I travel to ancient times, I can't even shake my husband!" Could it be that when the blood roared that day, the idea of monogamy was also told to Diao Chan?!! ”

And Diao Chan, who had not gone far, suddenly heard Ma Chao's wail. couldn't help but have a smile on his face, his mood was also happy, and he muttered: "Chao'er, I'm not a jealous person, it's just that you are too easy to attract people's affection....... Forget it, let you mess around, since you have become your wife, you don't want to live up to my infatuation......."

As soon as Diao Chan left, Zhang Ji found Ma Chao, bowed down and said: "Lord, the imperial examination has been prepared, will the examination officially start tomorrow?" ”

"How many scholars went to Fufeng for the scientific expedition this time?" Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, and then asked. After all, the imperial examination has been prepared for so long, and it is time for it to blossom and bear fruit.

"Returning to the lord, a total of 3,741 people participated in this scientific expedition. Among them, Yongzhou has the largest number of locals, with 2,876 people, and the rest of the scholars are from all counties of Dahan Prefecture. Zhang Ji unfolded the file in his hand, glanced at it, and replied.

"Good, it's been beyond my expectations. From this point of view, De Jong must have been bothered 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 again: "Cai Yong, that old man, still hasn't agreed to come to the scene in person?" ”

"My lord, everyone under my command has persuaded everyone Cai, but everyone Cai is stubborn and has never agreed to this matter." Zhang Ji showed a shy expression at this time, and then said stubbornly: "Lord, if you let the housewife come forward, everyone Cai may think of family affection ......."

"No need, anyway, Fa Zheng has already arranged it, and if he says to the outside world, just say that Cai Yong is not feeling well that day." Thinking of Cai Yong, who was as smelly and hard as a pit stone, Ma Chao became angry, and finally added: "What is this old guy doing in the county guard mansion now?" ”

"It's nothing more than raising flowers for fu, but there are many ...... in that word," Zhang Ji's face turned pale, and he said cautiously. And Ma Chao directly interrupted Zhang Ji's words, and said, "Do you mean to scold me?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare to agree, but the meaning of the Han family floating in the words is obvious." Zhang bowed his head and replied cautiously.

"You're just too used to this kind of empty name." Ma Chao shook his head, and after smiling bitterly, he said: "Listen to me, let him be a penkeeper under your account for a period of time, and say that it is to let him pay off the debt of Chang'an to save his life." First polish his arrogance, and then I have a way to make him obedient......."

When encountering a superb son-in-law like Ma Chao, Zhang was helpless and only smiled bitterly, nodded and agreed: "My subordinates obey orders." After that, Zhang bowed down and retired, and Ma Chao also learned the appearance of Tang Taizong, stretched his arms, looked up at the sky with feeling, and said proudly: "The imperial examination has been completed, and the world's handsome and talented people are all in the Ma family!" ”

And after this day, all the princes in the world who watched the Ma family's imperial examination received a detailed report from the Ma family's imperial examination one after another. Ma Chao's first plan for the imperial examination regulations has finally lifted a veil of mystery to the world.

There is a saying in the imperial examination: All scholars in the world, regardless of age. Regardless of background, no recommendation is required, and you can freely participate in the Ma family imperial examination. Yongzhou Mu Ma Chao is the main examiner, and it is proposed to appoint Cai Yong, Fa Yan, Wei Duan, Wei Kang, Wei Dan and other famous Hongru as examiners, and temporarily set up a Ministry of Rites, with Fa Zheng, Zhang Ji, Bu Qi, Yang Fu, Hua Xin and the county guards and others in charge of the imperial examination and appointment and dismissal.

The examination subjects are divided into two types: regular subjects and system subjects, and the regular subjects are held in installments every year; The temporary holding of Arima Chao is called the system department, which can also be called the enko. The meaning is that the Ma family has given the grace of the world's poor people, and the admission can be a protégé 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 branches.

In addition to the 'Six Arts of Gentlemen', which scholars were more concerned about, there are also subjects such as Gewu, Policy Theory, Professional Arithmetic, and Ming Jing. Among them, the strategy theory accounts for a very high proportion.

The imperial examination is divided into spring and autumn examinations, which are held twice a year. The so-called spring boudoir, as the name suggests, is a scientific expedition held in spring. Based on the number of candidates, after taking the test in the examination room. Take one out of ten, collectively referred to as lifting people, and when you take the autumn exam, you can enter the county guard house for the big exam.

Therefore, the autumn test of the county guard can also be called the Ma family test. However, this time, after the completion of the Shizi examination room, he waited for the rankings, and Yongzhou Mu personally made the final results.

As a result, the first name is called the champion, the second name is called the list, and the third name is Tanhua. The first 30 of the Ma family are famous by the Ma family, in order to show their glory, and they can enter the three provinces and two departments of the Ma family, or be recommended by the Yongzhou Mu to enter the Taixue for further study or enter the court as an official. And those who fall off the list also have two choices. First, you can start from the basics in each county; The second is to apply for the next year and start over. Those who fail in the first year will receive a subsidy 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 a headache but are helpless.
