"Don't push, don't push! Every candidate present has the opportunity to serve as an inspector!"
The students were very excited and came forward to get close to Li Banghua.
After all, he is the chief minister of the cabinet and the head of the civil officials.
The candidates initially accused local officials of various illegal acts.
As time goes by, fewer and fewer people are complaining about officials, while more and more people are asking for advice on how to be an inspector.
Li Banghua’s answer was very interesting: “We will tell them the specific information on the day when the results of the Autumn Examination are announced.”
The entire consultation process lasted from morning to evening.
Even so, there are still many elderly scholars who are reluctant to leave.
"Sir, tell us what the Inspector's powers are! We can't wait any longer."
"We have to wait even if we can't wait. This is an assignment from the imperial court and we can't take it lightly," the officials replied.

"Write down their requests and then arrange for people to verify and handle them one by one. If there are not enough people, borrow from the Nanjing Imperial College. If that is still not enough, borrow from the prefectural school, state school, and county school."
"Those on secondment will be provided with adequate meals, and will also be given travel rations (travel allowances) according to the standards of soldiers."
"The Autumn Examination will be postponed to the day after tomorrow. Those who do not participate by then will be deemed to have voluntarily given up."
