Chapter 155 Feng Quji reads the papers

“I don’t want it even if I give it to someone else!”

"Do you think so?" Mr. Shen turned to look at his admirer. Immediately, the admirer also agreed, "Yes, you can tell at a glance that this miscellaneous book is a dirty book. It affects elegance, so only a devil would buy it."

Indeed, even after Gao Qiu shouted, not a single copy was sold, and no one even read it, which shows that it is difficult to sell.

Gao Qiu naturally recognized Mr. Shen and saw the smell of gunpowder. He quickly laughed and said, "Mr. Shen, wealth and honor are nonsense. You don't have to argue with him."

He smiled very flatteringly.

"As an apology, I am willing to give you two books. I hope you won't be offended."

I have to say that he still knows how to behave.

He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person. Mr. Shen had such a demeanor, so he waved his hand and said, "Well, there is no need to give it as a gift. This miscellaneous book is not worth a penny, but giving it away is to honor your face. Since you are sincere, I will buy it."

Come down, I feel sorry for you."

It was said so naturally, as if it was charity.

Of course, Gao Qiu didn't dare to blame him, and quickly praised him: "That's so, so, Mr. Shen is so grand!"

Then he handed over two books.

Mr. Shen smiled teasingly, and generously took out a money bag from his arms, took out twenty and a half taels of money and threw it away, "Any more will be considered as charity for you."

A book costs five and a half taels, two books cost ten and a half taels, and twenty and a half taels is considered too much.

This was originally a good thing, but in the eyes of Gao Fugui, it was so uncomfortable.

Is this charity? It is clearly an insult, not to mention that he needs charity? To say charity, it must be him giving charity.

He spent tens and a half taels of money on one book, which was still the original price. Over time, the price of these two books will definitely soar to sky-high prices.

This is a good thing, but if you want to buy it for twenty and a half taels after being so insulted, there is no way.

He quickly snatched the two books from his father's hand and said disdainfully: "Twenty and a half taels, do you think you are sending it to a beggar? I have decided that these two books will cost two hundred and a half taels. If you want to buy it, just pay for it! If not,

, just don’t hinder our business.”

"You?" Mr. Shen's originally calm mood suddenly changed dramatically, and his face turned as ugly as a pig's anus.

"Gao Fugui, it's an honor for you, Mr. Shen, to buy your miscellaneous books. Don't be shameless."

"That's right! No one buys these miscellaneous books. Mr. Shen doesn't dislike it. How generous and generous it is. But you, who don't know how to appreciate it, want to pay you two hundred and a half taels? You might as well go and grab it."

The admirers were very angry, pointing at the rich and powerful and cursing.

Gao Fugui said without changing his expression: "Hey! Just because no one is buying it now doesn't mean that no one will buy it in the future. Of course, even if others want it now, I won't buy it."

"Since you think two hundred and a half taels is too much, just don't buy it! Of course, if you don't sell it now, don't regret it later. It may cost you a thousand and a half taels!"

I don’t know whether Gao Fugui’s words were sarcastic or joking, but on the contrary, everyone felt uncomfortable hearing them.

Gao Qiu winked at him repeatedly, but he didn't seem to notice, his attitude was so determined.

"You? Humph! I'm afraid I won't be able to sell half of the money even if I pay you one thousand and a half taels." Mr. Shen was so angry that his body was shaking again. He glared at Gao Fugui angrily and left angrily. The others followed suit.

When Gao Qiu saw this, he was so angry that he stamped his feet, "You bastard, it's rare for someone to take advantage of you. What kind of trouble are you making? I'm so angry."

Gao Fugui smiled and said nonchalantly: "Old man, what are you so anxious about? I feel like it's too much of a loss for two hundred and a half taels. At least one thousand, yes, one thousand."

Gao Qiu shook his head and sighed, and thought to himself: My son is stupid. He was stupid in the exam. Who will buy it if he pays back a thousand?

The imperial examination papers were quickly collected, and Feng Quji arranged for dozens of marking officers to mark the papers.

This was the first time that the Qin Dynasty used examinations to select scholars. Naturally, it was not as rigorous as in later dynasties. However, in order to prevent the occurrence of fraud, the dozens of examiners appointed were carefully selected. Most of them had clean backgrounds and there were no sectarian disputes.

, there is no distinction between running a party, and it is relatively fair.

Because it is a sealed volume, no one can see the name, and tens of thousands of volumes can be read in one day. Someone specially selected a hundred volumes to send to Feng Quji, and the thirty finalists were naturally decided by him.

Feng Quji was still concerned about this matter. He stayed up late at night to read, showing his dedication.

I have read dozens of them, and most of them have old answers and nothing new. Some of them are slightly new, but they make no sense.

"Hey! I have no one left in Daqin!"

After he read the second book, he felt that his whole thinking had been sublimated, and he could no longer stand reading the policy papers.

He thought he was too tired, so he stood up, stretched, stretched his muscles, or went outside to get some air. Finally, he regained his energy and continued to bury the case.

"Yeah, I have some insights, but my thinking is too pedantic, and this guy has been corrupted by Confucianism!" Feng Quji looked at the paper in front of him. The handwriting was neat and the writing was grand, but the content was a little unsatisfactory.

"That's all, let him be shortlisted! But he must not be on the list."

So, he wrote three words on the paper: "Under the plan."

Those who are on the list are those who are ranked one, two or three, and those who are below are naturally those who are on the third list. This is a rule made by the emperor and has been announced to the world.

After a while, he shook his head and sighed again. It was rare to find something that caught his eye, and then he answered questions randomly and made no sense.

"Well! The handwriting is good, and it has everyone's style, but I don't know how the answer is?" Feng Quji finally saw one with pleasant handwriting, and he became more interested.

The first policy is, what is a politician? The answer is: A politician is a centralized and authoritarian person. Power is noble and the people are humble. If power dominates the people, the world will be safe.

The second strategy is, is the people's representative system feasible? The answer is: Absolutely not. The people are the people and the people are humble, how can we speak of representatives?

When Feng Quji saw this, he shook his head.

The answer given by this person is of great literary talent, clear organization, and great talent, but it is inevitable that it does not conform to the emperor's wishes. This person must be trapped by the old system and fall into the clichés, which is not advisable.

He didn't look at it anymore and threw it aside.

Then I read the next volume, and suddenly my eyes lit up and I was very surprised.

The first policy is, what is a politician? The answer is: A politician walks the high road, the world is for the public, the people live in peace, the common people have food in peace, the people support the emperor's will, and the emperor is concerned about the people.

Um!

Feng Quji thought about it and found that it had some meaning. This was completely different from the style of the volume just now, or it was completely opposite. This policy advocated governing the people, supporting them, and putting the people first.

Isn't this exactly what is mentioned in the second book? It is also the policy that His Majesty has in mind.

"Good!" Feng Quji smiled with satisfaction and continued to look at the second strategy.

Is the people's representative system feasible? The answer is: It is feasible! The people are the people, and what the people want is the national policy.

"Wonderful, so wonderful!" Feng Quji couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at it.

This is exactly what he wants to see, it is the emperor's intention and the purpose of the imperial examination, "This boy is a great talent!"

Feng Quji was overjoyed and quickly continued reading.

The third policy is how to promote the country's economy? The answer is: commerce moves, the people follow, promote circulation, and control business taxes.

This this?

Feng Quji looked at it and his heart skipped a beat. This guy was really bold. Although Shang Dong was said in a vague way, it didn't stop him from seeing that he was advocating to ban and suppress Shang.

He didn't even dare to mention this, how dare he answer the policy question? Feng Quji didn't know whether he was happy or worried?

"This question can be left to His Majesty's decision."

He didn't dare to make the decision without permission, so he skipped this question and soon reached the seventh strategy.

Can a term of five years be used? The answer is: Yes, this is a major strategy to eliminate corruption.

"Good, good!"

Feng Quji's eyes widened when he saw it, and he was quite appreciative of it.

The five-year term is the implementation of the electoral system, which can be applied by the three officials and nine ministers. Five years is a term. If you win the election, you can be re-elected, and if you fail, you can abdicate.

This is completely different from the current life-long system. Of course, this method has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it encourages the three officials and ministers to fulfill their responsibilities, but the disadvantage is that it will definitely be opposed by the powerful.

However, the opposition of the powerful has nothing to do with him. This is all His Majesty's business. What he has to do is to select the best person according to His Majesty's intention and support his choice.

After finally reading it, Feng Quji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally I found a great talent who can be ranked first."

So, he wrote three words on the policy paper, "Draft List 1".
Chapter completed!
