Chapter 796: Failed the imperial examination and was kicked out by Zhu Han
Song Lian devoted his whole life to the Ming Dynasty, and now that he could win Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, he had already made a secret vow in his heart.
We will definitely select more outstanding talents for Zhu Yuanzhang, even if he suffered a lot of setbacks this time.
He would never break all his plans right away.
So when I heard about this kind of thing, I quickly started to defend myself.
He won't have many problems caused by other situations, as long as he can have an absolute advantage on this.
Quickly selecting some talents is a necessary condition to truly control science.
Zhu Biao knew that even if he said what he was saying, it seemed that it was too late. He was just waiting for someone to come out on top in this imperial examination and add some help to Zhu Han.
Zhu Han asked Gao Fei to pay close attention to the actions everywhere. The officials' investigation and the clues about Yueru's father-killing enemy never dared to make any mistakes.
Gao Fei was very fast, and with his unremitting efforts, many clues about Yueru's father-killing enemy immediately changed.
Gao Fei immediately returned to the palace and told the male protagonist in Zhu Han's study all the information he had found.
Without exception, it can be said that Wang Shangshu, who is now the Minister of Rites, actually does not know what happened back then.
His subordinates deliberately framed him, which led to such a misfortune.
At that time, Wang Shangshu and Song Lian had a really good relationship, and Song Lian promoted him step by step.
"Your Majesty, according to the clues we have investigated so far, Wang Shangshu is the enemy of the innocent Yueru..."
Gao Fei suddenly didn't dare to speculate anymore. Yue Ru would definitely be devastated if she knew the news.
But now this plan seems to be stronger than they previously expected.
No matter what, there is definitely no way Yueru can avenge his family.
But now all the clues have pointed to others, and Gao Fei is also worried that Yueru will be sad.
Zhu Han listened to Gao Fei's words and closed his eyes to rest. Then he took a sip of tea and immediately had a plan in mind.
If this is the case, he might as well use the strategies in his hands as soon as possible to arrange everything properly.
In this way, it's good to give Yueru an explanation.
"You don't have to worry about Yueru's affairs. I will explain to Yueru the suffering of his family."
"For so many years, it has been a knife pressing on Yueru's heart. Now that I can investigate clearly, I must tell Yueru the real situation."
Hearing Zhu Han's words, Gao Fei was slightly relieved. While the two were talking, Zhang Fengnian happily walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Fengnian held a stack of account books in his hand and walked into the room happily.
Gao Fei took one look, and Zhang Fengnian knew that he must have come to report the situation in his store, so Gao Fei left immediately.
Zhang Fengnian and Zhu Han were left behind.
Zhang Fengnian put all the account books in Zhu Han's hands and handed him a piece of paper.
"Your Highness, please take a look. This is the money earned by several stores in the past few days. I have handed over all the excess ledgers to Wang An."
"I heard that he is now in the Ministry of Household Affairs and is very handy in revising these policies. I asked him to clear all the money in the treasury."
"I can also send all the income from the store to the treasury. The rest is the money earned from the cement and lime formula sales in the past few days."
Zhang Fengnian had absolute confidence in his business. Zhu Han took a look at the bill and looked at Zhang Fengnian in disbelief.
I really didn’t expect that the cement formula and the lime formula, when added together, could actually be sold for so much money.
Ying Tianfu's business is guaranteed by the Donghai Chamber of Commerce.
As the president of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Fengnian naturally has no problem doing these businesses.
Now his formula is selling like crazy in Yingtian Mansion.
The news that cement can strengthen houses spread in Yingtianfu. This wave of free advertising allowed Zhang Fengnian to gain a lot of business.
"I didn't expect that your cement formula could be sold for so much money. It really opened my eyes. Your business acumen is really good. I'm afraid even Shen Wansan will be in awe of you."
Zhu Han's words made Zhang Fengnian a little embarrassed, but he was indeed well prepared for his business. He had already thought about it before, if he could become as rich as Shen Wansan and be as powerful as the enemy.
Then he was naturally very happy.
Working for Zhu Han allowed Zhang Fengnian to firmly believe in his thoughts. With Zhu Han's affirmation, he would be able to surpass Shen Wansan in the future.
"My lord, please stop praising me. Who doesn't know how to do business in Yingtian Mansion? As long as the Donghai Chamber of Commerce joins, we can make preparations as soon as possible."
"Nowadays, there are so many people who want to do business, but only a few can establish themselves."
"Only in Yingtian Mansion can we really do all the business well. We also have the protection of the prince. The business can be done so smoothly. This is all the credit of the prince."
Zhu Han was a little surprised when he heard Zhang Fengnian's words. He didn't expect that he would become so glib now.
However, doing business well and making money for Ming Dynasty is indeed Zhu Han's biggest goal now.
Zhang Fengnian was able to help complete the task, and Zhu Han was happy before it was too late.
"Your business has begun to flourish now, and you need to be able to know how to screen when doing business in the future."
"Otherwise, I may have squandered all the experience and wealth I have accumulated with great effort. I have been preparing for the imperial examination these days, so there is no need to report business matters to me."
Zhang Fengnian nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and he was even more happy that Zhu Han could help him gain a foothold in Yingtian Mansion.
Zhang Fengnian is the most deadly thing.
Now that the imperial examination was about to take place, Zhang Fengnian thought that he could use this opportunity to provide him with lime and the silk and satin in his store to ensure an improvement in his business.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Zhang Fengnian left, Zhu Han read the account books repeatedly.
As he expected, Zhang Fengnian had a very good business acumen. Zhu Han was very satisfied to see that he was able to make the business so prosperous.
He now puts all his thoughts on the imperial examination.
He would like to see if Tan Ran and Ge Rong take part in the imperial examination at the same time, who is stronger?
The imperial examination was held as scheduled and came to Gongyuan to prepare, and there were many students taking the exam.
The gate of Gongyuan was even more bustling, and many people came to watch the excitement.
They also wanted to see how many talents could be selected through this imperial examination.
Students from all over the world gathered at the gate of Gongyuan. They lined up with each other and could enter Gongyuan after registering.
As the examiner, Song Lian personally greeted these candidates at the door.
Zhu Biao was also on the side. Facing these students who had read poetry and books, they entered the Gongyuan one after another. Zhu Biao also had a smile on his face.
"This time Mr. Song, as the examiner, will be so strict. I heard that no books can be carried in the clothes, and all of them will be searched out."
"The people from the Jin Yiwei are laying ambush in the Gongyuan. If they find someone plagiarizing, they will be captured immediately."
"That's right. Students from all over the world come to participate in the imperial examination. What is really important is to be able to see how much talent they can learn in this arrangement."
"Instead of using other things to ruin their reputation, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Not only for the students, but also for the people in Yingtian Mansion this time, if the students participating in the imperial examination this time can really select more outstanding talents.
For them, it is not a bad thing.
No one will worry about this because of other situations.
They will all understand that there are actually very few people in Yingtian Mansion who can truly apply what they have learned.
They just want to select some better talents as soon as possible.
Only in this way can they gain a foothold and see the hope of the imperial court.
The students were getting ready one after another, and Song Lian immediately ordered people to close the door of Gongyuan.
The students then began the three-day imperial examination.
Zhu Han ordered Gao Fei to protect Zhu Biao. The final result of this imperial examination would directly affect his reputation in Yingtian Mansion.
Gao Fei sat on the beam, listening to Zhu Han's words, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Your Majesty, why didn't you control all these people from the beginning? If their wings are hardened, wouldn't it have an impact on Your Majesty in the future?"
Zhu Han listened to Gao Fei's words, but shook his head gently, and faced Ge Rong and Wang An.
Such an outstanding talent would definitely not have much thought, but Tan Ran had a lot of impact on him this time.
He didn't want others to think that he was indeed suspected of cheating for personal gain or even missing questions.
As the examiner, Song Lian had no involvement in the imperial examination. He could just wait quietly for news from the imperial examination.
"You don't understand how deep the water in the imperial examination is. After the imperial examination is over, Yingtian Mansion may have some waves. It is quietly waiting for the best opportunity."
"I want to see how much influence this will have on Yingtian Mansion."
Gao Fei listened to Zhu Han's words and did not dare to slack off.
The long imperial examination is a fierce competition for every student.
Tan Ran looked at the paper in front of him and immediately started answering.
He thought that he was so talented that he would definitely be able to show his talent in this imperial examination.
But I didn't expect that when I actually got the test questions, I realized that if I could stand out in the imperial examination as soon as possible, it might not be that simple.
Some of the changes that can improve the imperial examination are actually not that easy.
In this imperial examination, the questions asked were all aimed at understanding people's livelihood issues.
Wherever the people want to go, water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The same is true for the people.
Tan Ran immediately began to answer.
He looked so serious that he even thought that he was the one who won the imperial examination this time.
However, what he didn't expect was that the moment the final result was announced, Tan Ran collapsed to the ground. He couldn't accept it no matter what.
Three days later, all the lists in the Gongyuan have been announced.
Ge Rong was still a little worried. He was sitting in the palace with Tan Ran, still discussing the content of the exam.
If you don't get the top spot in high school, you'll be really embarrassed.
Tan Ran looked confident.
"The topic this time is actually very simple. As long as it is combined with the current situation and the relationship between the king and the people, if it can be comprehensively arranged, there will definitely be something interesting to show."
The more Tan Ran talked, the more excited he became. He was already confident about the imperial examination, and even the test questions were lingering in his mind.
Even though the imperial examination was over, he still remembered the test questions vividly in his mind.
"After all, in the eyes of the imperial court, these talents selected by the imperial examination will have to think about the people in the future."
Maybe what he said does make some sense. The talents selected by the imperial examination must naturally be able to find a way out for the people of the world.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is extremely stable, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"The relationship between the common people and the king in this test question must be very close. If we can really investigate the clues."
Ge Rong also expressed his opinion. Regarding his knowledge of participating in the imperial examination, he actually did every step very carefully.
He answered the questions seriously, thinking of Zhu Han's teachings to him.
"Then there must be a way out between the kings. This is the most difficult problem in the history of the ages, and our Ming Dynasty is naturally no problem."
Both of them were full of curiosity about the result of this time, and Zhu Han was the same.
He called the two of them into his study room and already knew the results of this science.
When looking at Ge Rong and Tan Ran, their expressions were very ugly.
"The exam papers you two gave this time are really exciting, but I really didn't expect that you only have this ability."
Zhu Han said and looked at Tan Ran coldly.
"Seeing how hard you studied, I didn't expect that you didn't even get on the list after you swore the oath in front of me."
Zhu Han kept his word. Even if Tan Ran did have some talent, without being the top pick in high school, Zhu Han would not give him a second glance.
He has already issued a military order in front of himself, so he must fulfill his words.
"What else do you have to say now? I order you to pack your things and get out of the palace immediately."
Tan Ran couldn't believe his ears when he heard Zhu Han's words.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely, with blood oozing from his forehead. Listening to Zhu Han's words, his heart seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the valley.
"Your Majesty, how is this possible? I can discuss the relationship between officials and students based on what I have learned every day."
Tan Ran is almost crazy now, he doesn't believe this is his final result.
"Isn't this possible? How can I not even be on the list? I want to be the top pick in high school."
Zhu Han was very disdainful and glanced at Tan Ran.
"This year's imperial examination champion, there is another person beside you, Ge Rong, and if you lose your name, I will never tolerate it."
