Lin Feng was not lucky. King Zheng Li Yu did not return home last night and stayed in the palace.

Unable to find the person he wanted, Lin Feng had no choice but to follow the eight imperial guards straight to Jinling Academy and continue his "revised test career".

However, Lin Feng was happy about this "new profession". After this day, Lin Feng's paper marking speed significantly accelerated, and he read more than 100 manuscripts in total. To summarize the manuscripts of this day, Lin Feng's mind was unliberate in his mind.

Although most of the manuscripts are inexplicable and general works, the occasional weirdness always makes Lin Feng smile.

For example, a Confucian scholar started from the "Free War in the Spring and Autumn Period" and denounced wars in all dynasties for harming the country and the people. He hoped that the Tang Dynasty could stop wars, reduce taxes, serve the former Tang Dynasty, and raise the flag of righteousness. The world should follow and be invincible, thus creating a country of etiquette and harmonious country.

Lin Feng directly gave such a pedantic work that made people feel cramped in their brains. Datang dared to do this, and he must be the first to be eaten alive by tigers and wolves around him!

For example, a manuscript suggested that the Southern Tang Dynasty should "come with far and near" to pacify the world, and vigorously make friends with the Later Shu and Liao Kingdoms that were not adjacent to the Southern Tang Dynasty. Then, first start to pacify from the surrounding small countries, accumulate strength, and then compete with the Northern Han Dynasty.

This idea is correct, but the specific solution proposed by the manuscript is very strange: use a lot of money to bribe those countries with distant relatives, develop land force to sweep Wu and Yue first, then attack Chu, and then directly attack the Northern Han. In fact, the current strength of the Southern Tang is only slightly smaller than that of the surrounding countries. For this idea that it does not conform to the true strength of the Southern Tang, Lin Feng shook his head and gave only a passing score.

For example, there was a manuscript that suggested that taxes be heavy for non-agricultural responsibilities such as commerce, handicrafts, etc., increase the tax to one-half, support the country's foreign war and subsidize agricultural production. Regarding this inconsistency, Lin Feng also gave an idiotic idea that not only made business work but did not want them to benefit, he also gave them a failed score.

However, things are always relative! If there are weird things, there will naturally be outstanding talents.

On this day, Lin Feng saw the manuscripts of Lu Jiang, Shu Ya and Wu Qiao. After several revisions, their overall theory was clear and concise, and the argument was absolutely excellent. Lin Feng naturally gave their manuscripts first and then gave them a high score of more than 90 points.

In addition, there are also masterpieces that made Lin Feng sigh and almost boast about to boast.

For example, the name of a manuscript is "On the Role and Significance of the Qingyuan Army". Starting from the Battle of Destruction of Fujian four years ago, it was proposed that the Qingyuan Army, which is now under the jurisdiction of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was not an opportunity for the Southern Tang to break through the surrounding siege, but rather a big trap for the development of the Southern Tang country. It was similar to the Korean Peninsula during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which was a real drag. If the Qingyuan Army could be truly recovered, it would not only open up the path of the Southern Tang to connect overseas from the South Road, but also surrounded Wu and Yue from the north and southwest. It would be no difficulty to take it into account.

Lin Feng once learned in detail about the causes and consequences of the Qingyuan Army. In December of the seventh year of Baoda (949 AD), three months before Lin Feng first arrived in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Southern Tang established the Qingyuan Army in Quanzhou, and Liu Congxiao was the governor. In fact, this town was independent of the jurisdiction of the Southern Tang government.

Liu Congxiao, who is only 44 years old this year, is also considered the number one figure in history. Liu Congxiao, whose courtesy name is Yuanfan, is from Yongchun County, Quanzhou. He lost his father at a young age and has a poor family. However, he is filial to his mother and brothers, and is famous far and wide. He loves reading and especially loves military tactics.

Liu Congxiao was originally the general of King Shenzhi of the Fujian King. In the battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty to destroy Fujian, Liu Congxiao relied on the military strength he had in his hands to dance between the Southern Tang, Wu Yue and Fujian. In the end, he benefited from the fisherman. During his reign, he was awarded the title of the governor of Quanzhou and the governor of the Qingyuan Army by Li Jing and Li Yu. Tong Pingzhang Shi and Shizhong, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Duke of E, and King of Jinjiang. Liu Congxiao governed Quanzhou for 17 years and was frugal to support the people. Quan County was therefore "full of the warehouse". The Qingyuan Army also became a rare paradise during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and was conquered by the Northern Song Dynasty in 978 AD.

The views of this manuscript are very consistent with Lin Feng's views. Lin Feng naturally appreciates them very much and directly draws circles to get high scores.

There is also a manuscript with very ugly fonts and one or two typos popped up from time to time, but the idea made Lin Feng’s eyes lit up. The author of this article proposed that naval battles should be an important direction for future war development. He believed that ships should develop in the same direction in both giant ships and fast boats, and at the same time, invent weapons that can be long-range and powerful, suitable for maritime combat. In this way, naval battles and land battles are like walking on two legs, and then they can walk steadily and far away.

Lin Feng highly praised this view and also drew a circle and gave him high scores.

There is another manuscript that left a deeper impression on Lin Feng. The first sentence of this person's opening is "Ten questions about recruiting talents are the path! Thinking about the prosperity of the supermarket and the universal benefits of the Lord of Honor, the essence behind it is the path!"

Afterwards, the author carefully analyzed the success of the Talent Ceremony, the Supermarket, and the Lord of Honor, clearly showed their respective advantages, and pointed out that the principles of fairness, justice, equality, transparency and other hidden in it should be the most reliable gathering power for a great country. If it can persist, it will be the sharpest and most critical weapon to pacify the world from then on.

Observing the appearance of the slightest appearance, you will know the essence behind it. You are absolutely smart! Lin Feng sighed and couldn't help but praise him: "Good article!"

When Lin Feng shouted, several deputy examiners surrounded Lin Feng and asked for the Chinese papers. Even the chief examiner Situ Zhouzong, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened his eyes rarely.

After a large circle was passed down, there were four more circles on the manuscript. After Zhou Zong saw it, Lin Feng drew his own circle on it.

The second day of the Luncai ceremony, there were obviously fewer people queuing up to hand in the papers. By the evening, there were basically no new manuscripts handing in. At this time, the examiners who had been reading the test papers all day finally relaxed and cleaned up and went home one after another.

Situ Zhouzong watched the other adults leave, turned his head and said to the last one who left Lin Feng, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Lin Feng quickly bowed and replied, "Mr. Situ insisted on selecting talents for the country despite his health. This is the hard work!"

Zhou Zong gently stroked his right hand on the back of his waist, with helpless face, shook his head and said, "Old! Zhishan, don't we have to be so polite, right?"

Lin Feng could only laugh with him and walked slowly towards the side door after the old man.

Zhou Zong asked Zhou Jing about the situation of Xinsheng Bank, and briefly talked about the family trade progress of his eldest son Zhou Ming, and the second son’s progress of purchasing land and cotton. Finally, he seemed to say unintentionally: “Ehuang has been pestering me a lot these two days, saying that I will exhaust you. Alas, girls are outgoing!”

Ehuang! Lin Feng's heart suddenly felt warm, and he immediately asked in a vain: "How is Ehuang lately?"

"Okay, people are more lively than before, chattering and talking more!" Zhou Zong smiled kindly.

Lin Feng felt a fever, his body and mind were filled with Zhou Ehuang's beautiful image, and he blurted out: "Mr. Situ, can you allow the officials to come to the mansion to disturb him?"

Zhou Zong turned his head to look at the imperial guards beside him and said in embarrassment: "I made the regulations personally yesterday. How could I be the first to violate them today?"

Lin Feng's heart was lit up, and he turned around and ran into the corridor. He quickly found a piece of paper and pen to write a poem, found a box to seal it, and respectfully handed it to Zhou Zong.

Zhou Zong put the letter in his arms, shook his head and smiled, "Oh, I will be a messenger for the time being! I believe the ghost girl should not bother me again today!" After that, Zhou Zong waved to Lin Feng and got in the car and left.
Chapter completed!
