Chapter Fifty-ninth Imperial Examination 12

In fact, the place where the two sides had been disagreeing before was Chang'an, hoping that Duan Ye could enter the North Korea, come to Chang'an and meet you in person.
However, Chang'an, including Wei Bin, never mentioned this matter. The reason is very simple. They think it is useless. Duan Ye obviously won't go.
It makes sense to think so, because when both sides do not have much mutual trust, Duan Ye will worry about his safety when he goes to Chang'an. What should he do if he is detained? So I won't mention it.
But Wei Bin didn't expect that Duan Ye would take the initiative to ask that he almost doubted his ears.
Wei Bin saw Duan Ye’s expression very serious, not like he was joking, but he still asked again, “Are you really going to Chang’an?”
Duan Ye nodded and said, "The time is almost over. I have to go to Chang'an once. Of course, those who are ministers cannot leave the border without permission. Of course, this requires the emperor to promulgate."
"This is easy to say." Wei Bin agreed. I am afraid of this kind of thing. If you don't go, you want to go. What's the point of a mere edict?
If it is clear that Duan Ye needs to go to Guzang, then many other things will be easy to discuss. This can be said to be a surprise gain from Wei Bin's visit to Liangzhou this time.
However, many questions cannot be clearly discussed now. Moreover, that was Duan Ye's temporary intention. It is certain that Wei Bin did not come for this time. Therefore, Duan Ye asked: "Old Wei, you should have other tasks when you come to Guzang this time."
"Anyway," Wei Bin nodded happily, "I came here this time, actually for another person."
"Who?" Duan Ye asked
Wei Bin did not answer immediately, but looked at Duan Ye with a smile. Duan Ye felt a little embarrassed and said, "Old Wei, don't keep it aside. If you have anything to say, just tell me, how dare Duan Ye say no?"
"You've done everything, are you pretending to be stupid with me?" Wei Bin raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully.
"Duan Ye really doesn't know, what are you talking about?"
"Yeah, you're pretending," Wei Bin said, "Did you write a letter to Chengdu?"
Wei Bin himself is the spy leader, so it is not surprising that he knows this. Besides, Fu Bao is the Princess Qiyang of the Qin Dynasty, and he will definitely report this matter. Therefore, Duan Ye said frankly: "Yes, there is this matter."
"Tsk tsk tsk" Wei Bin said with a smile, "You kid, okay! Are you already a lot of women in your family? Why are you still provoking Princess Qiyang?"
Duan Ye hurriedly said, "I just wrote a letter to her and gave her a mirror by the way."
"Okay, OK!" Wei Bin waved his hand, "I don't care what you want to do, but I have to say that in front. This Princess Qiyang is not an ordinary woman after all. She is not even able to control His Majesty the Heavenly King now. If you go to provoke her, you will be at your own risk!"
After saying that, Wei Bin left angrily. Now he is familiar with Guzang, so Duan Ye doesn't have to worry about him losing.
But it was obvious that he seemed to be speaking harshly from his tone, but Duan Ye and Wei Bin were also having a long time friendship. Of course, it could be seen that it was just a bluff!
In fact, Wei Bin may want to make up the business of Fu Bao and himself
I have never met Fu Bao, so I definitely can't say that I have a relationship, but if I think about it carefully, there will definitely be many benefits to marry Fu Bao. No matter what, although I have never been inferior to myself in my past status, I will definitely have many unpositive factors for my development. If I can enter the current upper-level circle through marriage, it will not be a bad thing.
Wei Bin's motivation this time came to Liangzhou is definitely not simple, there must be other things, but Duan Ye is not afraid. No matter what you do, I will just deal with it.
The afternoon exam is the highlight - the so-called policy theory. To put it bluntly, it is to discuss current current affairs issues, that is, to give advice to the government. However, this is definitely not just a matter of the idea. Duan Ye has always believed that beautiful articles are also very important. Whether you can write a good article actually shows your ability. And to a certain extent, argumentative essays like policy theory are more difficult to write than poetry, because a large number of predecessors have written a lot of poems. In this era, although no one strictly summarized things like the rhythm of the temptation, there are always so many ancient poems that can be used as reference, but this kind of policy theory is different. The style seems to be a little free, and it is easy to write well, but it is difficult to write well.
Moreover, this time, Duan Ye will have to take two exams, which means he has to write two articles, one this afternoon and one tomorrow morning. Duan Yexin said that this part alone may stump most people.
The afternoon topic is also very simple, with only four words: The theory of taxation
Of course, Duan Ye also gave them some materials, such as the policies of the abolition of the cap tax in Liangzhou, the distribution of taxes and other acres, and all introduced them in concise words, and then asked these people to write their own answers based on these materials.
In fact, there are few restrictions. It is said that it will be easier to write, but when Duan Ye finished some work and ran to the examination room to inspect, he found that he was still using his pen in the morning and was full of spirits. Now he is biting the pen tip and many eyebrows are twisting into a folding fan.
The exam time is almost half over, and many people have not written a few words yet. Duan Ye is now a little unable to solve it. Is this question so difficult to write?
In fact, the tax reform in Liangzhou is a very proud part of Duan Ye. It greatly reduces the burden on the people at once and allows many people to have spare money to improve their lives. In addition, adjusting the tax burden results will allow more people to pay more taxes, and allowing those who make less money to pay less tax or even do not pay taxes. In fact, it is also an important concept in Duan Ye's mind, that is, fairness and justice.
In fact, Chinese people often measure everything in seven oldest words, "Don't worry about the lack of widows, but worry about inequality." They can accept poverty, but they cannot accept that they are poor, and they cannot accept that they are poor because of unfairness.
Of course, the common people will choose to endure it, but once they think that this unfairness has reached a point where they cannot bear it, their choice is to rebel!
Duan Ye is very confident that after such reform, he may be able to ensure peace and stability in Liangzhou for a long time. And doing so has basically not aroused the rebound of the rich. It can be said that he has done all this peacefully. Duan Ye thinks that no matter what, in history, this is a feat.
But such a great thing, few of these candidates could write it out, which inevitably made Duan Ye a little discouraged
The accompanying guards didn't know why Lord Jun's face suddenly became bad, so they were all a little furious, but they also knew that Duan Ye didn't say it himself, so no one dared to ask.
Until I went back to dinner in the evening, Duan Ye's face looked a little ugly
Tufaling and Zheyan Nalan two pistachios, how could they tease Duan Ye? Duan Ye just smiled reluctantly, not as enthusiastic as usual
It was not until Ying'er came back that Duan Ye asked, "Have you finished answering?"
"It's over" Ying'er was a little puzzled
Zhe Yannalan next to him looked at all this, but pouted with dissatisfaction. We took the initiative to make you happy. You ignored you and didn’t pay much attention. But as soon as this woman came back, you took the initiative to rush to talk. If someone didn’t finish the exam, can you come back? Humph!
Although Duan Ye’s women are generally harmonious, they are not completely harmonious. Zhe Yannalan has always been very hostile to Ying'er, and always thinks Ying'er is very "demonic" and is not a good woman.
But Duan Ye had already said that he would not be jealous or criticized at home. Zhe Yannalan then suppressed himself.
Duan Ye rubbed his hands, looking like he was reluctant to speak, and Ying'er was surprised when she saw it. She asked, "Sir, just say what you have to say."
"Oh, hehehe" Duan Ye smirked twice and said, "Do you think this test question..."
"Sir, didn't you say that you can't discuss the test questions before the exam?" Ying'er's words choked Duan Ye to death
Duan Ye pursed his lips and said, "Yes, I said it, but... I don't think of a discussion. After all, I am still a question-setting person. I still want to know your general situation."
Ying'er nodded and said, "I answered ok in the afternoon, but I once had a confidential counselor. Compared with other candidates, I would have more knowledge about the inside story. In fact, this is unfair to them. As for how they answered, I don't know."
"Oh, how about love?" Zhe Yannalan said impatiently, "My master, although I haven't read enough Lan'er, I also know that you know, if you know, you know, if you know, you don't know, you can't answer the questions you asked, that's a skill. If you can't answer, what's so strange about it?"
It really woke up the dreamer. After hearing this, Duan Ye looked at Zhe Yannalan strangely. Seeing her serious look, she suddenly felt that everything was suddenly enlightened!
That's right, that's it!
Duan Ye was in a bad mood before because tax reform was an important achievement for him. He always had expectations and complexes in his heart, and he hoped to get the understanding and recognition of others.
But what Ying'er and Nalan said was right. If you understand, they may not understand. They may not understand at all. It is not normal for them to not understand Nan at this time. What's so strange about this?
