Chapter 146 The exam has begun



"Zhenzhen, be good. Father, please first check on the changes to the franchise policy."

[I want to see it too. Join the self-service hot pot restaurant and barbecue restaurant. How can we miss the milk tea shop at this time! ]

[I'll try some milk tea, pearl balls, taro balls, and some fruit tea.]

Spring is here, and jasmine tea is sure to be a favorite among the ladies.

Qin Yuanhao nodded as he looked at the policy. The little princess's idea was good and he would study it later.

Since everyone wants to join, the more the better, and the money will just go into the Qin treasury.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that the franchise policy could be adjusted again.

Qiguo also wrote him two letters, asking about joining.

As a result, I was so busy with exams during this period that I couldn’t take care of it at all.

And the 100,000-strong Qin army finally completed its training in batches.

The Qin army today is no longer the same as it was in the past. A few months is enough to make the Qin soldiers strong and solid.

At the same time, after the training, the Qin soldiers have made great improvements in combat and command.

Yang Yongsheng even trained a group of 20,000 elite soldiers, who would be the strongest backing for the Qin Dynasty.

This group of soldiers is specifically responsible for completing the most dangerous tasks of the Qin Dynasty.

Of course, the treatment of the Qin soldiers also became extremely generous. Qin Yuanhao personally made the final decision, but despite the opposition of his ministers, he allocated a huge amount of funds to the Qin army. It can be said that half of the national treasury was given to the army.

Even various down jackets and meat were continuously sent to the army.

To this end, he also specially searched for local chefs from all over Daqin and took turns cooking for the soldiers.

Make sure those soldiers can taste the flavors of home.

The last thing is conscription. He will continue to recruit soldiers, and for those who have served for more than eight years, the Qin court will be responsible for the distribution work, and at the same time, a considerable amount of assets will be distributed for the soldiers to return home.

At the same time, the imperial court would supervise the other party and would never allow them to disclose military secrets or use their status to bully others.

As a result, there was a shortage of personnel in the court, and many things could not be pushed forward at all.

No one!

Qin Yuanhao is worried!

He has used three people at a time, which has resulted in all the ministers looking at him with dark circles under their eyes and resentment when he attended court recently.

But he had no choice but to comfort them that there were so many people taking the imperial examination that he would definitely be able to recruit suitable talents for them.

This also caused all the ministers to focus on the upcoming exam, causing Qin Yuanhao to simply wave his hand and say, "Give us a holiday!"

Early the next morning, Qin Yuanhao rushed to the South Gate carrying the little princess.

Not for any other reason, it's the closest.

The Concubine Chen is already at Ximen's place. Today is the first day, so she still needs to keep an eye on things.

Next to her is Jiang Wenjin, who has already married into the Yang family.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here so early?"

When Concubine Chen saw Jiang Wenjin, she was stunned for a moment.

"I developed this thing with you. If you're not confident, how can I be confident?"

The west gate was where women entered. When those women saw the two female officials from the Qin Dynasty, they were naturally very excited.

"Is this the Concubine Chen? She is so beautiful, and she is also a capable person. Your Majesty is so lucky to have the Concubine Chen."

"How happy I would be if I could work under the Empress Chen!"

The person who spoke was the woman in pink clothes from a few days ago.

"Miss, you know absolutely nothing about machinery. You almost blew up the teacher's house during class. You'd better just focus on your abacus!"

"If you want me to say that, humph, I'm going in. Remember to pick me up at the appointed time. I'm afraid my legs will become weak."

The pink lady came today with her hair simply tied up and without wearing any jewelry.

As soon as I approached, a female official came forward to check whether I had any cheat sheets or other items with me.

The next step is to compare the portraits and answer a few questions about identity.

"Jinqi City Wu family, may I ask what is the ranking of the young lady?"

The woman in pink saw the female official rummaging through the book for a while, and finally asked this question.

Although she did not deliberately conceal her identity, she still felt a little strange when the female official directly stated the name of her family.

It also shows how powerful our Majesty is in controlling the Qin Dynasty.

There were scholars with the same idea at every gate.

"I'm the fourth child in my family."

The female official nodded and asked a second question, "May I ask how long you studied before taking the exam? If you have had a teacher at home, that counts."

"I started learning from my brothers when I was eight years old, and I signed up for the academy last year before the Lunar New Year."

The female official tapped on it a few times with a pen and asked the last question.

"Excuse me, young lady, your father doesn't agree with you taking the imperial examination. If you pass, how will you reconcile with your father?"

The pink-dressed woman froze. She never expected that the other party would know what was going on at home.

"Don't be afraid, young lady. I'm not trying to pry into your privacy. It's just that your incident has caused quite a stir in Jinqi City. If there's an opportunity, our female officials can accompany you home and explain to your family."

"Is this still possible?"

Not only was the woman in pink surprised, but the women behind her also had the same distress.

After all, for women to take the imperial examination was already unorthodox, and few families would agree.

Half of them escaped secretly.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Chen quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, everyone. If you pass the exam, our court will send someone to your home to explain the situation to your parents."

"At the same time, your department will also pay attention to you. I hope everyone can give their all and show me how outstanding the women of our Great Qin are."

"Let the world know that we women are not inferior to men."

All the women who came to take the exam looked at Concubine Chen with emotion. Concubine Chen had long become a role model in their hearts.

Everyone wants to be like Concubine Chen.

"I will." The woman in pink looked at the Concubine Chen firmly, nodded to the female official, and walked straight in.

The woman behind also hurriedly followed. No one was carrying anything in their hands, and the number of people was not particularly large, so their speed was still quite fast.

When Concubine Chen saw the woman coming to take the exam, she felt relieved.

"Madam, forty-three women have entered so far."

"This number is enough. I'm really worried that there won't be any women left."

"We are not in a hurry, it is still early."

At the South Gate, there was some chaos when Qin Yuanhao and Qin Zhenzhen rushed over.

Some pretended to be shills, some carried cheat sheets, and some insisted on bringing their own pickles.

When everyone saw Qin Yuanhao coming, they stopped fighting and stood still.

Zhou Mian hurried forward, and his shrill voice reached everyone's ears.

"For this exam, you don't need to bring your own food. The food here has been carefully prepared by His Majesty. And you only need to consume one meal. You can still eat dinner at the hotel."
