After making his mind up, Zhu Yunhuan looked at Ma Sanbao and said, "This man is indeed exactly what I want!"

Ma Sanbao lowered his eyes and bowed, saying, "Then this servant congratulates Your Majesty."

Although he appeared calm on the outside, he was internally trembling with fear. "Your Majesty has always been calm and composed in all matters. I rarely see you with that expression just now! However... while these two questions do indeed concern the Ming Dynasty, they have made Your Majesty so happy... can these two questions really hold such great power?"

Obviously, although Ma Sanbao had a preliminary understanding of the answer Zhu Yunhuan told him, he had never seen it after all...

Those wars without gunpowder in later generations.

Sometimes it is even more severe than a war with live ammunition!

Being able to effectively control the subject of "economics" can bring about tremendous changes at the national level.

So at this moment, Ma Sanbao was happy but also a little puzzled.

Zhu Yunhuan, on the other hand, had this first success and immediately gained confidence. He perked up and looked back at the two stacks of answers. He said, "My bait this time was not in vain after all! Let's see if there is anything."

Seeing that his master was satisfied, Ma Sanbao couldn't help but smile sincerely, even though he didn't fully understand what his master was happy about - he didn't understand anything else, but he understood that his master's happiness was the best thing in the world!

At that moment, I put aside the doubts and confusion in my heart.

He replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, the master and servant plunged into the piles of answer sheets again and continued the boring work of marking them.

However, these two concepts transcended the cognition of this era. If someone answered correctly, it was a matter of luck; if they answered incorrectly, it was the norm. So from then on, the only sound in the Qianqing Palace was the sound of rice paper being shuffled.

Zhu Yunhuan and Ma Sanbao watched from morning to afternoon.

Only then did I finish reading all the answer sheets.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at the four answer sheets that had been specially selected and placed on the dragon desk and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, I've finished reading them!"

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and immediately swept the answer sheets that were scattered all over the desk onto the ground, doing the work of a "desk cleaning master" while showing a look of disgust on his face.

He mercilessly complained, "Every one of them claims to be well-read, learned, and a Jinshi (imperial scholar)... They boast to the skies, but in reality, they only know how to quibble over words. Fortunately, they're still trying to find gold in the dunghills, so there are barely two of them who can be used."

After watching all this for a day, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

The most crucial thing is that these people, not knowing the answers to the two questions, wanted to take advantage of the hype and try their luck guessing who would win. As a result, a bunch of them were quoting classics and making long speeches...

Where does "通" come from? What might it mean? Where does "货" come from? What might it mean?

I just focus on the words when doing reading comprehension.

Zhu Yunhuan couldn't help but get angry after seeing this.

Hearing Zhu Yunhuan's complaints, Ma Sanbao couldn't help but twitched his lips secretly, suppressing his laughter: "Looking for gold in shit... Your Majesty, what you said... Although the words are rough, the truth is not rough, but the words are a bit too rough."

Of course, Ma Sanbao already knew what kind of person Zhu Yunhuan was.

I've never been one to follow rules.

It's not surprising to say such things.

He immediately bent down and picked up the scattered rice papers one by one, smiling soothingly at his master, "Your Majesty is a man of profound insight and foresight. It's a rare opportunity for anyone to even guess at your intentions. Although the process was difficult, we finally found a few decent answers, didn't we? Your Majesty, calm down. I'll call someone to relieve your fatigue."

Zhu Yunhuan naturally would not blame the court officials for this. It was just a misunderstanding caused by the limitations of the times. He just cursed them a few times to vent his resentment.

So I didn’t say anything more.

Instead, focus on the names on the four answer sheets in front of you.

In addition to Xia Yuanji at the beginning, there are three other names in total - Yu Xin, Gu Pu, and Lin Chengxuan.

Among them, Zhu Yunhuan was not unfamiliar with the names Yu Xin and Gu Pu, because they were both picked out from the stack of answer sheets that Zhu Yunhuan had read. They were all officials in office in the current dynasty, and their names were also recorded in history.

Although their answers were not as good as Xia Yuanji's for both questions, their answers were enough to prove their talent and knowledge in economics.

As for the other name: "Lin Chengxuan..." Zhu Yunhuan muttered in his mouth
