Cheng Yue said decisively: "I am in charge of the affairs of the Special Administrative Region, and I don't need to ask for advice." As for the imperial examination for the imperial court next year, it must also be done according to the requirements of the special administrative zone, and I will ask for a decree when I go back. You don't have to be sad that what you are familiar with has been changed, as long as change is a catalyst for social progress, then it is necessary. I have repeatedly stressed that the old days when you could become an official and govern the country with only knowledge of the Five Classics and Four Books are gone! Everyone must keep pace with the times, and stubbornness will definitely lead to a dead end! I once said that I want to take the exam and confer officials, of course, I must keep my promise, otherwise how can I promote new learning? How many people in the world are watching. I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I have to do it. If you don't change it, the new learning won't have much value, and it won't be able to be promoted. ”

Xie Fang said: "Governor, in this way, the change is too big, and it is best to take it step by step." This year, it seems more appropriate to add some new questions to test the candidate's level, and then gradually increase the knowledge of the new learning. ”

Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "Otherwise, the change is actually not big." First, I did not abolish Confucianism, but paid more attention to practice. The exam questions should not be vague, and the candidates' countermeasures should be practical and feasible, and the style should be secondary. Second, my book has been published for more than a year, and I specially sent it to various places to sell, and publicly said that I would use it as the basis for the examination and award officials in the future. As for the women's section, it is my consistent advocacy, if you ask each department, every department needs female officers, and there are always some things that are inconvenient for men to come forward. But where did a woman come from to become an official? In that case, why can't we allow women to take the exam openly with men? If there is any doubt, in the future, female officials can be signed separately and men will not be allowed to enter or leave. lest others make irresponsible remarks. What do you think? ”

Gauss leaned forward. He asked, "Governor, is it okay for people from outside the SAR to take the exam?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Of course you can, there are not many talents, even if someone from the Yuan Dynasty wants to come to work for me, I welcome it." I will use a large number of people in the future, and you will not be able to admit 1,000 people every year, so I might as well be more lenient and recruit talents in an eclectic way, without being limited by the number of places. After admission. Immediately conduct training and political observations, and teach them all kinds of foreign Chinese. There are people from all over the world in Suzhou City and Shanghai, you go to find them, let them teach. In the future, all officials sent to foreign countries will have their salaries doubled, and they will be given priority promotion after returning. ”

Cheng Yue said so much in one breath, and the ministers understood that Cheng Yue had made up his mind earlier, and this matter was imperative, and it must be done well.

Li Fu said: "Don't worry, there are many people from all over the world who come to Suzhou to seek officials. New learning is also in full swing in various places, and exams are not a problem. It's just not known who is going to be responsible for this. Please, the Governors decide. "Determining the chief examiner of the imperial examination is a big deal, which means his status in Cheng Yue's mind and the future leader of the literary world.

Cheng Yue said: "Lord Xie deserved the champion but didn't get it, I always wanted to give him justice, and this exam will be conducted by Lord Xie." Lord Chen and Master Gao are the deputies, and others can't be idle, they have to take the time to organize exams in various places, and help with the questions and papers. We don't have a champion list in this exam, and we won't parade the hairpins on the streets, only set up a passing line, and those who pass the line will be admitted, but the rankings will also be announced. In this way, there is no distinction between the admitted people, and there is no distinction between professional teachers and teachers, and the township party will not work with me. The specific method and the method of writing the test paper are clearly written in this booklet, and each of you will take a look. If there is anything you don't understand when you are preparing, please feel free to ask me, and you must unite sincerely to make the first exam under the rule of the SAR successful! ”

After speaking, he turned his head and said solemnly: "Lord Xie, please do everything, you are tired." ”

Xie Fangde's eyes were full of tears, his mouth was moving, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. Although he didn't regret the palace test that year, he still had a trace of regret in the end. Cheng Yue gave him the opportunity to preside over this main exam, but did not give it to Chen Wenlong, who is the champion, because he has supreme trust in him, and he has no regrets in this life!

All the ministers congratulated him, Xie Fang's brain was blank, and he only knew that Xiang Cheng Yue kept moving, and muttered with a crying voice: "Thank you Dadu, thank you Dadu!" ”

Cheng Yue held his hand, shook it vigorously, and said earnestly: "Master Xie, you deserve it." ”

Xie Fang finally couldn't help it, "Puff" knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Cheng Yue, looked up to the sky and cried loudly, letting the old tears run rampant, but he didn't wipe them.

The ministers also wept with emotion, and Cheng Yue gave Xie Fangde justice so that they could empathize with it, and their bodies and minds were warm. It's a pleasure to serve the Metropolitan Governor!

The big event has been decided, Cheng Yue and the ministers discussed the details for a long time, and they stayed until late at night.

The ministers are very clear in their hearts that the plan they set tonight is destined to be a historical event with extremely far-reaching impact, and everyone involved will be recorded in history because of this, and they must do it well, of course, they must do it well!

Cheng Yue finished the arrangement, and his heart was happy. When he returned to the bedroom, he saw his wife and concubine waiting for him to go to bed.

Cheng Yue apologized, picked up Ye Yiyi, who couldn't open her eyes, gently put her on the bed, and warmed her up first.

The wives and concubines then went to bed, and they were very gentle, and they had a pleasant night.

The next morning, Cheng Yue got up a little late, and Kuo Kuolun and Babahan were not surprised. Cheng Yue is busy every day, and they all see it, and he doesn't need to go to court, so he doesn't worry about it later.

The two of them were talking and laughing in the flower hall, while patiently waiting for Cheng Yue and his wife and concubine to come out for dinner.

After sitting for a while, Cheng Yue led Wan Ze with his left hand and Nang Jiazhen with his right hand to the flower hall. Nang Jiazhen was full of spring, and the whole person almost hung on Cheng Yue's body and walked into the flower hall, kissing and kissing Cheng Yue on the face and lips while walking, as if Kuo Kuolun and Babahan did not exist at all, and Kuo Kuolun was funny and sighed.

Nang Jiazhen gave him everything before he married Cheng Yue, and he did not shy away from his relationship with Cheng Yue. Once known by others, how can the face of the Golden Family remain? But what's the solution? This was one of the means to force Kublai Khan to give marriage.

Cheng Yue and his wife and concubine greeted Kuo Kuolun and Ba Bahan first, and then had breakfast together.

After breakfast, Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen personally prepared a saddle for Cheng Yue, and Ku Toulon also silently went to help, and the three of them cooperated very tacitly, and there was no trace of mustard.

Wan Ze prepared two horses for Cheng Yue to facilitate transfer, one was the imperial horse given to Cheng Yue by Kublai Khan, and the other was her own horse, which is not difficult to guess.

Cheng Yue put on a hood and came out, and at a glance he knew Wan Ze's intentions, hugged him and kissed him a few times, and said with a smile: If I hadn't promised them before, I really didn't want to leave early. Okay, let's see you outside Lin'an City, you guys have a good time in Suzhou.?

Wan Ze took Cheng Yue's hand with a red face, pulled him to his side again, and whispered in Cheng Yue's ear: "Xianggong, don't be tired after you go back, the days ahead are still long, don't be in a hurry." The harem concubines lack men ruthlessly, all of them are like wolves and tigers, you ...... Don't be too indulgent and hurt yourself. ”

Cheng Yue laughed, patted her little face, and said with a smile: "Follow Madame's orders, I won't be so ridiculous, and I will go for my husband." After speaking, he led the horse out of the house.

According to Cheng Yue's orders, no one came to see him off outside the mansion, and Cheng Yue did not bring any entourage, one person and two horses, and went away with a whip.

Suzhou is actually not far from Lin'an, only less than 400 miles, of course, the march of the army will be slow, like Cheng Yue, the two horses are extremely fast. Cheng Yue does not stop halfway, the road is a newly repaired flat road, the horse is a good horse, constantly changing riding, galloping all the way, in the afternoon, has arrived in Lin'an!

Looking at the Lin'an city wall, Cheng Yue slowed down his horse, let the horse rest, lowered his head, and entered Lin'an City in a team of horses entering the city.

Along the way, several people stopped him to buy his horse, but Cheng Yue ignored it, he returned to his heart like an arrow, and trotted back to the Dadu Governor's Mansion that haunted him.

Ding Yi and Shi Xiu were both on duty in front of the mansion, and when they saw a person and two horses coming to the door of the mansion, they looked at it and saw that it was indeed the governor of the capital!

The two of them were so happy that they almost screamed, and they wanted to give a salute but were afraid of alarming others, so they had to laugh hard at Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue smiled at them and motioned to open the side door.

Ding Yi hurriedly opened the door and let Cheng Yue into the mansion.

As soon as they entered the mansion gate, all the guards immediately gathered around happily to salute.

Cheng Yue smiled and exchanged a few words with them, and asked, "Who is at home?" ”

Shi Xiu said: "The Metropolitan Governor, everyone who should be there is here, only a few little ladies who are busy outside will come back later." ”

Cheng Yue smiled with satisfaction and said, "I'm in, you pay attention." ”

Everyone said in unison, "Yes." ”

Cheng Yue pulled his legs and walked in, met Jin Luxiang's wife Yu, and said hello casually.

When Yu saw Cheng Yue coming back, one was happy and the other was worried. I am glad that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has a family again, and I am worried that my errand as a foreign housekeeper has ended here, and if I want to be so beautiful in the future, I have to wait until the next time the Metropolitan Governor goes on an expedition and has to take two more ladies away.

Cheng Yue ran all the way in, taking off his hood as he ran, and from time to time there were servants next to him who greeted him excitedly. When I ran into the inner house, I happened to see Concubine Yang Shufei and the four ladies of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter walking and resting in the corridor.

The fifth concubine suddenly saw Cheng Yue, and screamed in surprise, and before Cheng Yue walked in front of her, tears were already rolling down.

Cheng Yue didn't care about speaking, hugged Yang Shufei, kissed her fiercely, and reached into her clothes to touch her, kissing Yang Shufei in a daze, and gasping for help.

Yang Shufei hugged Cheng Yue's neck tightly, her fingers almost picked at Cheng Yue's flesh, and one thigh was also wrapped around Cheng Yue's body, and her whole body was trembling with excitement. Xiao Bisheng is newly married, and she really understands the meaning of this sentence today!

Although Cheng Yue was a little tired, with Yang Shufei and the four ladies of spring, summer, autumn and winter in front of him, how could he still bear to move his hands and feet. (To be continued......)
