I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

The county guards didn't even know what the exam was, but the decree was placed in front of them, with the seal of the king of the north and the seal of the country's prime minister on it.

The combination of these two seals is the authority in the northern border. If there is only one seal, they can resist it.

Of course it was just a thought, in fact none of them dared to resist.

The northern border country is remote and poor, and finally one came. Anyway, it is better not to be offended than to be offended.

So a group of people went to the exam very confused.

Sang Qian stood on top and cleared his throat and said: "Now let me talk about the rules of the examination room. Those who have books on their bodies are handed in. They are not allowed to read, whisper to each other, or walk around at will. They are not allowed to leave the examination room before handing in the paper. Time, you can hand in the papers in advance, and you are not allowed to re-enter after leaving the examination room, do you understand?"

All the county guards were full of mosquito coils, and after Sang Qian said it again, they gradually realized.

These rules are actually easy to understand, but this serious atmosphere makes everyone panic. What is the exam?

In particular, the guards at the door were all mighty-looking and strong soldiers, which made everyone feel like they were being arrested and imprisoned.

Well, if Liu Tan knew what they were thinking, he would probably agree very much. Isn't the exam like going to jail?

After the scene was absolutely quiet, Sang Qian handed out the test papers.

The test papers were handed out by a few of his subordinate officials, and the county guards were taken aback when they saw the test papers.

One of the chubby county guards couldn't help but pick it up and read it carefully, then asked with wide eyes, "This...what is this?"

The person next to him also said: "This...is this a new silk satin from the capital?"

Sang Qian felt a sense of superiority for a moment. He knocked on the desk and coughed lightly and said, "Be honest, don't make noise! ​​This is paper."

"Impossible!" The black and thin sheriff blurted out just now: "This thing is as white as clouds and as smooth as silk, how could it be paper?"

Sang Qian directly pulled a piece of paper, tore it in half and said, "Have you ever seen silk that is so easily damaged? What is it if it is not paper? This is a new paper invented by His Highness in Chang'an before. Of course it is not the same as before. Those yellow papers are comparable."

Everyone stroked it carefully for a while, but they were still skeptical about Sang Qian's words. The main reason was that the surface of the paper was really too smooth and delicate. They had never even seen a fine silk fabric before, so how could they have seen such paper?

Sang Qian glanced at the hourglass, raised his hand, picked up a small hammer, and knocked on the bell on the desk, saying: "Now the exam starts, and candidates can start answering the questions. After half an hour, the papers will be collected in a unified way. No matter whether they are finished or not, they will be asked to write." Hand in the test paper, otherwise it will be regarded as a failure of the exam, and the specific punishment will be jointly determined by His Royal Highness and the Prime Minister."

This sound shocked everyone back. They didn't care about the first half of Sang Qian's words, but they were shocked when they heard the latter part. Is there any punishment for failing the exam?

All of a sudden, everyone began to read the words on the test paper carefully. Just now, they were too busy feeling that the paper was as smooth as silk, and they forgot to read what was on the test paper.

After opening it, they were dumbfounded, they could read all the words on it, but... what are you asking?

The above questions are basically various. Simple ones include the land area of ​​the northern border country, how many counties there are in the northern border country, and then go deeper into how much arable land is under the jurisdiction of each county, how much arable land can be supplied by water sources, and how much labor force, etc. etc.

The county guards who watched were sweating on their heads, so let’s not talk about it before. They have no idea how big the Northern Borderland is, and they came just after being informed that they had become a part of the Northern Borderland.

As for their own subordinates, let alone, they don't know much about these at all. It seems that they know something is already good, and their minds are more blank.

Sang Qian sat on it and looked at the county guards below who were sweating profusely. He suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction, and wanted to ask His Royal Highness the King of the North if there was a next time?

But the problem is that the county guards don't want the next time at all. They didn't take the exam honestly at first. I am used to saying the same thing, and I didn't take those rules seriously for a while.

After encountering something that was unclear, I turned around and wanted to ask the people next to me if they knew, but was threatened by the soldiers patrolling the examination room.

When Sang Qian saw this scene, he couldn't help feeling that His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory had the foresight. He didn't expect to bring soldiers on patrol!

Of course those county guards were not convinced that they were suppressed by the soldiers. Whenever they had suffered this kind of loss, they immediately subconsciously wanted someone to punish the soldier.

After Sang Qian saw it, he knocked on the bell on the table and said: "Be quiet, don't be rude to the patrolling guards, if there is a repeat offender, you will be expelled from the examination room."

The sheriff immediately dropped his pen and said: "I am an official of the imperial court, I cannot bear this humiliation, what about Your Highness? I want to see Your Highness!"

When he made a fuss, others naturally followed suit.

Sang Qian's sense of superiority disappeared immediately, and he subconsciously worried that if this matter went wrong, would he be in trouble?

Thinking of this, Sang Qian immediately yelled with a sullen face: "This is your Highness's order. If you want to resist it, you can't do it? Think about it, everyone. His Highness the King of the North is not ordinary. He is the Queen's son!"

The county guards paused, although their arrogance was a little lower, they were not obedient.

The so-called mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Since it can become a common saying that has been handed down, there is some truth to it. The county guards in these remote areas are used to domineering in the local area. Contempt, even more dissatisfied.

In their eyes, the emperor may not be able to do anything to them, let alone a king of the northern border?

Seeing that he couldn't calm down, Sang Qian immediately sent someone to find Liu Tan.

Liu Tan was looking at the information of these county guards at this time. Oh, it should be said to be black history. Huo Guang sent people to collect these things in advance, just to prepare Liu Tan mentally. These county guards are not easy to deal with.

Liu Tan looked at the black history and was full of black anger. He knew that few officials were really clean and honest these days, and it was not surprising that they even ignored human lives. face these.

But he didn't expect that there would always be someone who could exceed his imagination, and one of the sheriffs was so excessive that he couldn't stand it.

In order to marry a daughter, he saw a commoner woman who looked very similar to one of his daughter's maids, so he directly snatched the commoner woman and forced her into slavery, just to make a good-looking pair.

The little lady's family was in business and had some connections, so she came to the door and wanted to replace it with other beautiful servants, but she couldn't get it, and she was even directly killed by the county guard!

This is simply unconscionable enough to describe!

That's not enough. In order to occupy the fertile land, he directly forced a family to death, and slaughtered a whole village in order to cover up his crime. In the end, he was also the one who pretended to be a robber.

When Liu Tan was getting angry, he saw a little eunuch running over and said, "Your Highness, something happened in the examination room. Those county guards are not convinced, and Captain Sang can't suppress it."

Liu Tan threw the slips and slips in his hand directly onto the desk and said, "I can't do this well, so what do I need him for?"

The little eunuch shrank his neck immediately, and Liu Tan suppressed his temper and asked, "Who picked the head?"

The little eunuch whispered, "It's the sheriff of Xi'an Yang County."

Liu Tan suddenly became furious, well, it was this guy who made him so angry just now, and now he dared to openly provoke him.

He got up, took his saber and went straight to the examination room.

With the voice of "The King of the North is coming!", the examination room was quiet for a moment.

After Liu Tan led the people in, he glanced at him, and when the county guards met his gaze, they all lowered their heads and felt a sudden in their hearts - this one has a bit of evil spirit on him, so it's not easy to provoke him.

Most of these county guards had lives on their hands, but they didn't do it themselves, but Liu Tan... was the one who actually did it.

Liu Tan took a look and asked coldly, "Who is the governor of Xi'an Yang County?"

The sheriff who was the first to throw the pen just now came over and bowed: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory."

When the sheriff saluted, he was still thinking that he had taken root in the local area for decades. Although the king of the north was noble, he could not lose his spirit and be suppressed. It won't be easy.

Anyway, the King of the North is young, so just give him delicious food and fun to make him happy, and don't let him trouble everyone.

However, after he saluted and got up, he didn't even have time to say the protest before, and what he saw was a sword light.

The last scene that the Sheriff of Yang County in Xi'an saw in this world was the blood-stained, expressionless face of His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory whom he considered coaxable.
