C17 Examination of the Ministry of the Civil Service

Time passed quickly, and it was now October. The two guards wore long white robes, and entered the main hall of the Ministry of Public Affairs. They looked around and observed the structure of the place. It didn't look that different from what was on TV.

He walked to the main hall of the Department and looked at the Assistant Minister of the Department sitting in the main seat, neither bowing nor uttering a word.

His body showed signs of becoming fat, and his pair of sharp eyes scanned over his face. His unsatisfied face had a smile that didn't reach his eyes. He seemed to be around fifty to sixty years old, but he was pretending to be in his thirties or forties.

"Sage, greetings to the vice minister of the Ministry of Government, Zhou Tai, Lord Zhou." She cupped her hands.

Seeing that she greeted him, Zhou Tai smiled amiably, "Sir Sheng, please take a seat. Come, have a look at the tea. "

With a smile, she sat down. The person beside her carefully poured a cup of tea for her and then left. He took a sip of the tea politely.

Seeing how calm and confident she sounded, Zhou Tai smiled and said: "The Saint is ready, how are you going to answer the questions?"

She put down her teacup and smiled humbly, "Lord Zhou, please begin!"

Taking the yellow brocade from the side, he carefully opened the cover and looked through it, before saying, "Hibiscus City is the most difficult place to grow grain in our country, there are slopes and hills everywhere, growing it is very difficult, the lack of water in the land will cause the plants to wither and die, does Sir Sheng have any methods to increase the yield of the grain in this city?"

Listening to Zhou Tai's words, she smiled and said, "You can build terraced fields!"

Seeing the way he said it, Zhou Tai couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is a terraced field?"

He smiled. "Terraced fields are terraced farmlands that are constructed on slopes along the contour line. It is an effective measure to control soil and water loss in sloping arable land. The ventilation and light transmission condition of terraced field is good, which is beneficial to crop growth and nutrient accumulation. According to the different slope of the field, there are horizontal terraced fields, slope terraced fields, complex terraced fields and so on. The width of terraced land depends on the slope of the ground, the thickness of soil layer, the farming method, the labor force and economic conditions, and the planning of irrigation system and traffic road. "When building terraced fields, it is important to keep topsoil, and after terraced fields are built, it is necessary to cooperate with agricultural and farming measures such as deep overturning and planting appropriate pioneer crops in order to accelerate soil ripening and improve soil fertility."

The more he listened, the brighter Zhou Tai's eyes became. In the end, he couldn't help but repeatedly praise Wang Lin's actions.

"As expected, he is someone I have my eyes on!" Feng Gu walked out of the side hall while listening to the explanation and smiling.

When Zhou Tai saw that this was His Majesty from today, he couldn't help but be surprised. He quickly knelt down. "Zhou Tai greets Your Majesty. I don't know where Your Majesty is from —"

"Okay, okay. "Get up!" Feng Gu laughed as he interrupted Zhou Tai's words, looking at him with disdain.

"Thank you, your majesty." Zhou Tai respectfully stood up and retreated to the side.

"Your servant, the Sacred Language, greets Your Majesty." After she finished speaking, she was about to kneel down, but she didn't expect to be helped up by Feng Gu halfway.

Puzzled and shocked, he met Feng Gu's brown eyes. He could not help but be startled.

"Saint's Daughter, I thought it was an excellent answer to the question that was brought up, so I once again congratulate the Saint's Daughter on successfully passing the test." Feng Gu laughed.

"This humble subject thanks Your Majesty." She replied humbly.

Feng Gu turned around and waved his hand at Zhou Tai, indicating for him to step down. Seeing that the person had already left, Feng Gu gestured for him to sit down. "I heard that my royal nephew was robbed by the Black Cloud Stronghold. Is it true that the Holy Daughter personally went to rescue Zi Chen?"

Listening to Feng Gu's words, she thought with disdain. She already knew about it and still wanted to ask if it was true, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed so. This official was extremely worried when I heard that Young Master Chen had been robbed. Therefore, I did not consider my own abilities and went to Black Cloud Stronghold without permission. "

"Hehe, why are you saying that I am not blaming you. I just don't know how you managed to break into the Black Cloud Stronghold to save Zi Chen." Feng Gu asked with a smile.

In reply to Your Majesty, this subject did not enter Black Cloud Stronghold. This subject wandered around the mountain for a long time, but was still unable to come out, not to mention going to rescue Young Master Zi Chen, this subject is a civil servant. She spoke with fear.

"Oh, then did my beloved lady not save young master Cheng Zi Chen?" Feng Gu asked, puzzled.

"Exactly." She spoke with a nod, "But I do not know that Your Majesty has foresight, so he sent Lord Man to save Young Master Zi Chen. "If it wasn't for Master Man, I am afraid I would still be searching for you in the mountains."

"Hehehe, I originally wanted to get rid of the Black Cloud Mountain village for a long time, but I didn't want to just happen to be robbed." Feng Gu laughed. "However, according to Manhan's report, Zi Chen was not found in the Black Cloud Mountain stronghold. Zi Chen had already left."

"Your Majesty shouldn't be doubting this official, right?" She smiled and said: "I haven't even found the village yet! Not to mention going to save others! "

"When I first heard the various reports, I thought that the one who saved Zi Chen was the Holy Emperor, but now I think that there's someone else!" Feng Gu laughed.

"I just don't know who it is. It might be Young Master Zi Chen's friend!" She asked curiously.

"I heard from someone that this person is called Guang Guang, he killed many bandits, sneaked into the mountain stronghold to save Zi Chen, and even killed the head and second leaders of the stronghold. His martial arts is truly amazing." Feng Gu's face was filled with regret, "It's a pity that we don't know who this person is. With his strength and the contributions from saving our son, he should be able to be an official in the imperial government."

She secretly smiled. Killing the Great Master and Second Boss wasn't something that Flowing Light could do. If she really wanted to look for them, she would have to look for Cang Xi. She was just an assassin, how could she be obedient!

"This person probably doesn't want to become an official in the imperial court!" "Yes," she replied.

"What do you mean, 'holy love'?" Feng Gu looked puzzledly at her posture and said, "Being in the imperial court is everyone's honor, how can there be a person who doesn't want to be an official?"

"There are people like this official, who have the love of repaying their country. That's why they are serving as officials in the imperial court and supporting His Majesty. However, there are also people who are unrestrained and unrestrained, who like life under the fences of the Cloud, the Crane, and the Wild. This is just everyone's way of life, and the ideal structure is different. " "Yes," she replied.

Feng Gu raised his eyebrows as he looked at her manner of speech. "Sacred Emperor, you seem to understand the wisdom of the world!"

Seeing the change in Feng Gu's expression, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Liao Zai, this subject only has friends I know. This subject has no other intentions."

"I know." Feng Gu smiled helplessly.

She turned her head to the sky outside the hall, stood up and bowed to Feng Gu with a smile, "It's getting late, this humble subject will take his leave first."

Feng Gu also stood up and looked at her, saying, "It's getting late, and I have to return to the palace."

When she returned to the manor, Zi Chen was sitting in the hall sipping a cup of tea. When he saw her return, he immediately stood up and greeted her, "How was your exam? It shouldn't be difficult to come up with a question! "

She glared at Zi Chen.

Seeing her silent posture, Zi Chen was greatly surprised. "You couldn't have scored a zero in the exam, right?!"

Upon hearing Zi Chen's words, the tea that was just about to be drunk almost choked to death, "Wang, Wang, Cough, Zi Chen, say it again. Cough, cough, I might get a zero for it!"

Zi Chen patted his back and said with a smile, "Then why are you unhappy?"

She panted for breath as she glared at Zi Chen, "Isn't it because I wanted to save you? I'm afraid Feng Gu might suspect it."

"Is Feng Gu also there today?" Zi Chen asked in surprise.

Saying that, he nodded his head gravely, "Even the Assistant Minister for Public Affairs doesn't know about this! The moment he came out, Vice Minister Zhou Tai was so frightened that he immediately knelt down. Later on, he even asked Zhou Tai about the matter of the Black Cloud Stronghold.
