Mountain People

Dong Chenghu heard the words and praised in surprise: "Wonderful! I just felt that this paper looked a bit rigid, and if I followed the Queen's suggestion, I would be looking forward to this imperial examination even more! Just follow the Queen's advice."

Dong Chenghu made a direct decision, and the officials who gave the questions below were dumbfounded, and they all turned pale in response. Isn’t it just a disguised statement that the quality of their questions is not good? Fortunately, the emperor didn't say that he should replace all the questions they gave, or else they really wanted to die.

Dong Chenghu stared at Gu Shuixiu calmly, his eyes full of love, "What else? What about other subjects?"

Gu Shuixiu ignored Dong Chenghu's eyes and took the lead in taking out Nong Sang's papers, her face became very serious, she looked at the official who issued the papers, and said solemnly: "Where is the official who is in charge of Nong Sang's papers? ?"

Everyone saw that Gu Shuixiu looked wrong, you look at me, I look at you, and after a while, five officials came out one after another, three of them were older, and two were middle-aged.

"Are you agricultural officials?" Gu Shuixiu stared at them seriously, the three old men couldn't really see anything else because of their old age, the two middle-aged men knew by looking at their skin color, they were pampered all the year round, a little There is no such thing as a farmer.

How could they know that these five people nodded and replied: "Yes!"

Gu Shuixiu only felt dizzy, her heart and lungs hurt, and said with anger, "Ben Gong is very curious, how did you become a farm official! Have you ever planted food in the fields yourself? Do you know what is the difference between the crops grown in the south and the north? How much can the crops in the north and the south be harvested in one season? What kind of fields are good for growing food, and what kinds of fields are not suitable for growing food? Do you all know?”

"This..." The three old men were a little unconvinced, and immediately replied: "The ministers and others naturally know that rice is grown in the south, and wheat is grown in the north, and one mu of rice can yield two loads of rice (two hundred One acre of wheat can be harvested four dan, so the price of rice is much more expensive than that of white flour, and as for a bumper harvest, naturally the more fertile the field, the better the harvest.”

The three old men looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction, apparently all three thought so.

Gu Shuixiu couldn't help laughing: "Rice yields two tannins per mu, and wheat yields four tannins per mu. I'm very proud? Seeing how you are taking it for granted, then this palace asks you, if this palace wants you to put rice The yield per mu has increased from two to four, and the wheat has increased from four to eight, what should you do?"

"This is impossible! My Daqi's per mu yield is already the highest in the Three Kingdoms of Tuyuhun, the Great Wei Dynasty. Tuyuhun traded with me this time, not for my Daqi's food, Queen. This statement is really difficult for a strong man." An old farm official retorted excitedly.

I personally think that Gu Shuixiu doesn't understand anything, she just makes things difficult for them.

Gu Shuixiu glanced at them indifferently, and calmly said: "It's impossible, it's not what you said, what this palace wants is a way! The matter of Nongsang can't be achieved by relying on theory. Even if you get the champion, you are not as good as an old farmer in the field. What does the emperor want such a farmer to do? According to this palace, Nongsang's paper is not good enough, wait for the adults to figure out how to come out Let's talk about it."

Gu Shuixiu's attitude could not be refuted, and then she opened the paper on medicine, this time she didn't get angry again, and said very pertinently: "Bengong knows nothing about medicine, if I ask Bengong to look at this Whether the paper is good or bad is really difficult for this palace, so I will not comment on the questions in it. I only ask you to add a few questions: The first question is, if a woman with an abnormal fetal position is about to give birth, use the method of massage medicine and smoke. It can't make the fetal position correct. At this time, the amniotic fluid has been broken, and the production cannot be delayed. What should I do when it is necessary to protect both the adult and the child?

Second question, if someone has smallpox, he must be rescued, and he must not leave scars, what should I do?

The third question, after a disaster, as long as a large number of dead people are always prone to plague, how to prevent it?

Bengong doesn't ask much, just add these three questions into it. "

Gu Shuixiu said with a light smile, the proposition officer in charge of medicine was relieved at first because of the Queen's words, but at the end they were all dumbfounded, especially the Queen's number one Question, you can tell from the tone of the Queen Mother's question that the Queen's wife does not understand pharmacology, she is obviously modest, but these three questions don't talk about those candidates, even if they can't answer them, I really want to put these three questions up , will it lead to no one on the list?

The examiners were so nervous that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. In other subjects, Gu Shuixiu more or less suggested adding situational questions, and every subject was never let go. Moreover, the situation that Gu Shuixiu mentioned was very tricky, even they These people in charge of the questions were stumped, and the entire hall was completely quiet.

Everyone looked at Dong Chenghu nervously, hoping that the emperor could speak justice.

Everyone suddenly wailed in their hearts, Dong Chenghu didn't care, he held Gu Shuixiu's hand distressedly and said, "The queen is also tired, why don't you go back and rest for a while, I will go back after a while."

Gu Shuixiu got up without hesitation and left.

When Gu Shuixiu left, the ministers at the bottom began to persuade you, "Your Majesty, think twice! From the meaning of the Empress, it is clear that you don't want anyone to be admitted to the imperial examination!"

"Your Majesty, this minister admits that the Empress does have something unique, but the imperial examination is not a child's play. If it is according to the Empress, I'm afraid that everyone will fail this time..."

Makes them stand out in the crowd.

Dong Chenghu asked directly: "All of you are from imperial physicians, but do you think the three questions raised by the queen are difficult for a strong man?"

Several imperial physicians immediately got up and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the ministers and the others have little talent and knowledge, and are not skilled in medicine. The three questions that the Queen Mother just asked seem to be embarrassing, but they are actually testing people. The minister thinks that these three problems should not be unsolved, but the minister has not been able to think of a solution yet, I am really ashamed!"

Dong Chenghu was very satisfied with their attitude, and immediately boasted: "It is not easy for you to think like this, I don't blame you, the queen is always quick-witted, she can ask these three questions , which proves that there must be answers to these three questions.”

When the imperial physicians heard the words, they immediately knelt down to Dong Chenghu excitedly, "Your Majesty! Are you saying that the Empress has a cure for smallpox?"

"Your Majesty, do you mean that the Queen knows how to deal with this post-disaster plague?"
