Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

“This answer seems quite good.”

Hearing Ma Sanbao's voice, Zhu Yunhuan raised his eyelids with interest and said, "So fast? You're quite lucky."

He knew that Ma Sanbao understood his previous explanation. With Ma Sanbao's intelligence and cleverness, he said it was good and basically hit the nail on the head.

So Zhu Yunhuan was also a little surprised.

Ma Sanbao scratched his head, chuckled, and answered honestly, "Your Majesty, it can't be said to be luck."

"After all, I do know the rough answer to the first question. When I was sorting through the answers, I saw that this answer sheet had a good understanding of the first question, so I placed it at the top, thinking it would at least be more in line with Your Majesty's wishes than the others."

"But Your Majesty, please take a look at the pile of answers from the court officials first, hehe."

"It's just that I had no idea about the second exam question before, so I didn't dare to mention it to Your Majesty. Now that I have received Your Majesty's guidance, I can see clearly that this person is quite talented."

As Ma Sanbao replied, he looked at the answer in his hand, which he had been unsure of before, and couldn't help but praise it.

At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart: "This person will have a bright future in the future!"

Others did not know Zhu Yunhuan's intention, and many people even simply regarded the two test questions as some kind of "riddles". However, Ma Sanbao personally took care of the details for Zhu Yunhuan, so he naturally knew what his master was thinking.

I heard Ma Sanbao say this.

Zhu Yunhuan immediately curled his lips and threw the long and boring answer in his hand aside in disgust.

He complained, "I was thinking of seeing the opinions and insights of those so-called 'learned scholars' first, but I forgot the greatest ability of these liberal arts students."

Ma Sanbao didn't understand his master's inexplicable complaint: "Liberal arts student? Your greatest skill?"

There was no such thing as liberal arts or science at that time.

Zhu Yunhuan didn't explain much, but continued to complain: "I said they wrote too many words, but none of them hit the point."

If a science student doesn’t know how to do a question, then he or she doesn’t know how to do it, and the paper will be left blank.

Liberal arts students...are always good at long essays. Even if they don't know the answer, they will write densely on the paper to get some friendship points.

This is the situation of the stack of answer sheets in his hand.

Of course, Zhu Yunhuan just remembered it and said it casually.

He was more interested in the answer sheet in Ma Sanbao's hand. He turned to look at Ma Sanbao and asked, "What's this person's name? Bring it here for me to see."

Although this person's answer sheet was in the pile of "answer sheets from non-court officials".

But Zhu Yunhuan was looking at this through the eyes of hundreds of years later. Who knows if this person is just an acquaintance? Who knows, he might even be the right-hand man of Zhu Laosi during the Yongle Dynasty?

Ma Sanbao stood up and said, "He's not a famous person. He's currently a student at the Imperial College. His name is... Xia Yuanji."

This name is not popular now.

But it was not unfamiliar to Zhu Yunhuan. As he took the test paper, he laughed and said, "Oh! Gold shines everywhere."

Xia Yuanji.

Although at this time he was just a student at the Imperial Academy (Taixue), with no official position or title, but...

Historically, he became the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue during the Jianwen Dynasty.

Not long after Judy successfully usurped the throne, he was directly appointed as the Minister of Revenue. He was not only the Minister of Revenue of the Yongle Dynasty, but also the Minister of Revenue of the three dynasties of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi, and Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji.

There is no need to mention his resume. Just the fact that he can stand so steadily is enough to illustrate his ability.

As for his biography...

He was fully responsible for the national finances for more than 20 years, and supported Emperor Yongle's relocation of the capital to Beijing, five northern expeditions to Mongolia, Zheng He's voyages to the West, the dredging of the Grand Canal, and the compilation of the "Yongle Encyclopedia", among other huge projects and activities.
