However, Zhu Yunhuan did not dwell too much on this matter.

After all, all that is gold does not always shine.

No one knows how many talents have been buried in history. Some people may be really talented, but they may just be unlucky.

Zhu Yunhuan turned to look at Ma Sanbao and asked, "Sanbao, what is the background and status of this Wang Jinghui? Does he hold a position in the court?"

Ma Sanbao grinded the rice while answering, "Your Majesty, this man holds no official position. He works in the fields to grow crops for a living, yet he never stops studying. He is an ordinary, idle man, a man who carries on his family tradition of farming and studying."

Zhu Yunhuan nodded and didn't think there was anything wrong with this answer.

From the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the people in the Central Plains suffered from war. There were indeed many scholars with real talents who passed down the tradition of farming and studying from generation to generation, such as Wang Yingxin, a descendant of Wang Zhen, and his clan who were discovered early by Zhu Yunhuan.

He thought for a moment and then instructed Ma Sanbao, "Sanbao, go and convey my wishes later. Have them draft an imperial decree and appoint this person as the head of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Go and tell Wang Jinghui, Yu Xin from the Ministry of Revenue, and Xia Yuanji and the others. Wang Jinghui should go directly to the Ministry of Revenue and let Yu Xin, Xia Yuanji and the others take him to study."

"Next time I teach them, this Wang Jinghui will come along."

Originally, Zhu Yunhuan should have met him immediately.

However, there were indeed a lot of government affairs left today, so Zhu Yunhuan put them aside for the time being.

Although this person's answer did make Zhu Yunhuan very satisfied, Zhu Yunhuan did not give him the same honor as Xia Yuanji.

After all, I have only looked at the other party's answer sheet.

Xia Yuanji was rewarded on the one hand because he was indeed talented, and on the other hand because history had verified his ability, so Zhu Yunhuan could use him with complete confidence.

But this person today cannot be found in the historical records of later generations.

Zhu Yunhuan naturally would not give too much at once.

Ma Sanbao stopped grinding the ink, put the ink stick aside, and said with a bow, "Yes, I understand." After that, he slowly retreated outside.

After Ma Sanbao left, Zhu Yunhuan muttered the name again: "Wang Jinghui... I've never heard of him. Compared with his talent, it's not appropriate."

Done.

His eyes couldn't help but fall on the answer sheet in front of him again and lingered for a long time.

I always secretly feel that...

There's a strange feeling that I can't describe.

But when he went over the whole thing from beginning to end, he couldn't tell what made him feel strange.

After a while.

Zhu Yunhuan then withdrew his gaze, put aside this inexplicable feeling, and focused on the many government affairs and memorials piled up on the Dragon Desk.

……

Public housing of the Zhenfusi Yamen.

Jiang Li, who has now basically withdrawn from the core of power of the Jinyiwei, continues to handle the tasks and documents assigned to him seriously as always.

He diligently maintains the image of "a man who managed to survive and have a good job during the transition from the old to the new dynasty, and who tries his best to be honest and not cause trouble."

While he was working diligently.

A new "official document" was brought in by someone below. The person who delivered the document gave him a look and said, "Master Jiang, this matter is somewhat urgent."

Jiang Li's eyes flashed, and he immediately called a meeting.

He put down the document he was reading and opened the one that had just been submitted to him. Then a look of joy appeared on his face and he breathed a sigh of relief.

This "official document" conveys nothing else.

Instead, the things he had been painstakingly arranging in recent days were finally settled - according to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, he had to find a suitable candidate to copy the answer sheet written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself and use this to infiltrate an undercover agent inside.

Not bad.

This undercover...

It was Wang Jinghui, who had been appointed as the head of the Ministry of Revenue by Zhu Yunhuan.

To this end, Jiang Li waited for the opportunity for a long time and worked secretly for a long time, until today he finally succeeded.

In fact, Zhu Yunhuan's thinking can be described as very cautious and thoughtful... According to common sense, there should be nothing wrong with Wang Jinghui, the fish that slipped through the net.

But who would think about it?

Hey, this Hongwu Emperor wasn't dead. He'd been hiding in the coffin eavesdropping for so many days, and he'd already heard the correct answer. He also happened to have a confidant like Jiang Lin, so he could carefully and quietly make some small moves...

And that answer sheet belongs to Wang Jinghui.

In practical terms, it is actually the answer of Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang: it is equivalent to Zhu Yuanzhang first listening to a similar answer, and then combining it with his own understanding of the national economy after so many years as emperor, and naturally summed up the answer.

Such an answer would certainly make Zhu Yunhuan extremely satisfied.

However, this answer was replaced by an unknown person. In addition, the original source of the answer was Zhu Yunhun himself, but it was polished and processed by Zhu Yuanzhang. To some extent, it gave Zhu Yunhun an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

Due to many factors, Zhu Yunhuan felt strange and uncomfortable.

It's just the reason.

It's so weird.

No wonder Zhu Yunhuan was puzzled.

"Hmm? This Wang Jinghui...is pretty quick in his work." Jiang Li had a happy look on his face. As he read on, he secretly admired him in his heart.

Even he didn't expect it.

Wang Jinghui was not only really appreciated by Zhu Yunhuan.

He was brought directly to the Ministry of Revenue today, and even got the answer to the second test question that His Majesty was concerned about in Peking.

After reading the intelligence in his hand, Jiang Li took a clean piece of rice paper from the side, picked up his pen and briefly described the latest situation. He also attached the answer to the second question sent by Wang Jinghui, a special edition of today's newspaper... and other important intelligence news.

Seal everything together.

Jiang Li handed the document to the person who was delivering it and said, "Send it out."
