The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

In a blink of an eye, five days had passed since the official examination.

After the hard work of more than a dozen people, the answer sheets were finally marked.

After much debate, the best 100 were selected.

Early in the morning of the sixth day, Liu Anruo came to Yunzhi's study with the one hundred answer sheets.

"My Lord, all the papers have been reviewed. These are the one hundred we have selected."

"Send it over."

"Yes."

Looking at the one hundred answer sheets on the desk, Yun Zhi frowned.

One hundred copies is a lot.

It’s really this moment and that moment.

In the past, she only needed to look at ten copies, but now looking at the hundred copies in front of her, she suddenly felt that it was really a lot.

Yun Zhi picked up one and took a quick look at it, then put it back and looked up at the person who was still standing there.

"Among these, which ones do you think can win first place this time?"

During the review process, of course we will discuss which one will take the top spot.

However, it is difficult to satisfy everyone. One person thinks this is good, while another thinks that is good.

Therefore, there will definitely be some answers that will cause them to dispute.

She would then select the best one from these and appoint him as the county magistrate.

Hearing Yun Zhi's words, Liu Anruo walked forward, picked out eight copies from the one hundred, and stacked them on the other side.

"These eight were the ones we discussed the most at the time."

Yun Zhi looked at the several copies that were pulled out, put her hand on the top one, and pushed it open.

He slowly raised his eyes and asked, "Which one do you think is the best?"

Liu Anruo looked at the answer sheet that was pushed open, identified it, and pointed at one of them with his index finger.

"This one, Butler Xu and I all think, deserves first place. The answers written in it are very novel and not too conventional or rigid. I've also completed all the questions, and each one is answered brilliantly. Moreover..."

Liu Anruo pulled out the answer sheet completely, and the square, black official script came into view.

Just looking at the words, you can say "good".

"The writing style used is official script, and the format of the answers is strictly in accordance with the requirements of the imperial examination. This person must have participated in the imperial examination."

Yun Zhi took the selected answer sheet in her hand and looked at the person standing in front of her. "Yu Han, please add a seat next to me."

"Yes."

After setting up the banquet, Yun Zhi looked at her and said, "Please sit down."

"Yes, my lord."

After Liu Anruo sat down, Yun Zhi finished reading the answer sheet in her hand.

It was indeed as she said, the answers were very novel.

After finishing reading this one, Yun Zhi picked up the other seven and started reading.

These eight answer sheets either followed the rules and played it safe, with no mistakes to be found, or forged ahead bravely, breaking away from outdated ideas and proposing innovations, but there were also many unforeseen risks.

You can’t say one is good or the other is bad; it all depends on your personal opinion.

As for Yun Zhi, after reading the eight copies, he picked up the red pen and wrote the words "County Magistrate" on the copy presented by Liu Anruo.

With her current condition, how could she be someone who seeks stability?

In this way, Liu Anruo assisted from the side and put forward some opinions when they were marking the papers.

Finally, at 3:15 pm, I finished reading all 100 documents and decided on the official positions.

Official positions in the county government include the county magistrate, county magistrate, chief clerk, and legal advisor.

The six rooms include the secretary, registrar, and secretary, etc.

There are about forty-six people in total.

Yun Zhi put the red pen on the pen holder, looked at the answer sheet placed aside, and rubbed his head.

"An Ruo, break the seal, write down the names of these people on a piece of paper, and have the Yun Family Army check their backgrounds."

"Yes, my lord."

Liu Anruo opened the forty-six answer sheets one by one and wrote his name on the paper.

first row.

County Magistrate - Dong Zhuoyuan

Looking at this unfamiliar name, Yun Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Yuhan, Yuzhu, do you two know Dong Zhuoyuan?"

The two maids behind thought for a while, and Yuzhu said loudly: "This servant knows something."

"This man used to be a village head. He loved the people like his own children and was a rare good official in this world. But because he was a good official, he was often ostracized by other officials and treated as an outsider."

Yun Zhi nodded thoughtfully.

The village head is a grassroots official in the village who has administrative, judicial, educational, economic, and military powers.

This time, six houses were built and the position of village head was abolished, so that power could be dispersed and everyone would be responsible for their own duties, which would make it less likely that things would be neglected while focusing on others.

It is also easy to manage.

Just select the people who are capable in this area and fill them in.

Liu Anruo wrote down the names, hometowns and official positions of the forty-six people on a piece of paper.

After the ink dried, she looked at the list in her hand.

"There are seven women here."

Yun Zhi glanced at her and guessed what she was thinking at the moment.

"An Ruo, seven is not a small number. How many women in this county can actually read? One out of a hundred is already quite good. In the future, if there are more women who can read, this ratio will be broken."

Liu Anruo lowered his head. Indeed, this could not be rushed.

The idea that men are superior to women has been deeply rooted for thousands of years, and it can only be changed slowly.

But she believes that one day, men and women will be able to stand on the same page.

After taking out paper and making another copy, she picked up one of them.

"Then I will take this to General Chen and Lieutenant General Li now."

Yun Zhi nodded, "Go ahead."

After Liu Anruo left, Yun Zhi looked at the remaining list there.

"Let someone start making the official seal."

As for official uniforms, let’s wait and make them uniformly later.

"It's my lord."

……

After waiting day and night, the people finally waited for the day when the results were announced.

Thousands of people had already gathered around the notice board outside the county government office.

Either to check their own grades, or to join in the fun.

As a result, the business of the small vendors nearby became good.

After the Yun family's servant posted the results of this time on it, he left and the empty seat was immediately taken.

It should have been a clear and refreshing autumn day, but because of the crowds, many people were sweating.

Those crowded in the front put their fingers on the list and looked at their names one by one from the back.

After looking for his name several times and not seeing it mentioned, he left the crowd with a sigh.

Although I said that it was impossible for me to be on the list, I was still a little disappointed when I didn't see my name on it.

Of course, there were also people who found their own names in it and were so excited that they cried and laughed.

"I found my name, hahahaha, I'm going to go back and tell my mother about this happy news."

The man called out his name as soon as he found it.

Attracting all kinds of attention from people around.

But the man didn't care about all that. He happily squeezed out of the crowd and ran home.

Among them, there were one or two women who felt a lump in their throat when they saw their own names.

I covered my mouth and nose tightly with my hands, afraid that I would cry out loud.

After the excitement, everyone calmed down a lot.

They began to look at the first person in the list, who would become the county magistrate of Qingyun County in the future.

"Dong Zhuoyuan."

A man pronounced the name word by word, his face full of confusion, "Who is this? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

"This was the former head of our village."

Seeing that someone knew him, the man immediately asked him, his face full of anxiety.

"Village head? How is he?"

This is their future official, and he cannot be like the previous one.

"That's quite good. Last winter, many people in our village had nothing to eat, but Dong, the village chief, helped us. He was a village chief, and his life was just like ours, with only patched clothes."

"Anyway, seeing that Dong Lizheng has become our county magistrate, I feel relieved."

Among them were people who knew Dong Zhuoyuan and they all spoke up for him.

Seeing that those who knew him were all praising Dong Zhuoyuan, those around him who were listening with their ears perked up all breathed a sigh of relief.

The man looked around and asked, "Is he here today?"

A villager who lived next to Dong Zhuoyuan shook his head and said, "No, Dong Lizheng's mother is sick today, so I'm taking care of her at home. I'm going back now to tell him the good news."

the other side.

Dong Zhuoyuan fed his mother the bowl of medicine for the cold and was about to take the bowl out.

Just then, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside.
