"When I asked for money, I remembered that I was waiting? Haha!"

When Xu Huang passed the news, some of the officials sneered.

"What do you mean... don't give it?" Shi Sunmeng asked very carefully.

"Not giving?"

The man glanced at Shi Sunmeng lightly, then slowly turned his gaze to Yang Biao: "Look at Old Lady Yang. If he doesn't give it, I dare not give it. If he gives it... I dare to give it twice!"

"..." Shi Sunmeng felt that this was just like farting.

After all, who doesn’t know that Yang Biao is truly neutral and stable?

How could he not give money?

If this is the case, the people in the court will probably panic.

That means that the balance of the court has been broken, and bloodshed may occur next.

The key is that nowadays, anyone who holds military power is basically Liu Bei's Yuan Cong.

Once this balance is broken, it will be very bad for those of them who want to gain power.

To put it simply.

When Yang Biao was there, he could still reconcile the conflicts between them. Due to the real power nature of Liu Beiyuan's subordinates, the ones who benefited were the "old ministers of the previous dynasty".

If he turned to the "old ministers of the previous dynasty" and there was no strong enough person to come out to make a fuss, these "old ministers of the previous dynasty" would have to face the impact of the powerful faction.

Who will be in trouble when that step?

Anyway, I'm definitely not a real power person.

Therefore, although the people from the "old ministers of the previous dynasty" kept DISSing Yang Biao, in fact, they really didn't want Yang Biao to just turn it backwards.

Just like now.

Lin Chen suppressed the issue of money and food. The key is that there is no money and food in the court, so they naturally have to donate it.

At this time, of course, it is best for Yang Biao to be good at being tall.

At least you can't turn to them, otherwise the real power will directly rob their rights.

“It’s really complicated…”

Liu Biao, who had just entered the court for a while, quickly figured out the complex relationship and looked at Yang Biao silently.

"Shangshu Lin wants to ask the nobles in the court?"

After thinking about it, Yang Biao seemed to not feel the gaze coming, and said calmly to Xu Huang: "That's right, now that the state is difficult, we naturally have to make a little effort."

"What does Old Lady Yang mean?" Since he did not get the actual promise, Xu Huang naturally would not leave, so he pretended to be incomprehensible and asked.

"General Xu will go back and report."

Yang Biao smiled at Xu Huang, and glanced at the officials at the same time and said, "Yang still has a lot of family resources. Most of the people present are willing to be loyal to the country, so Ziyuan is not even worried about this matter."

"Thank you, Mrs. Yang!"

Xu Huang did not continue to ask questions at this time, and bowed and said, "Since the matter is over, Huang will take the lead."

"Everyone, let's get together."

After Xu Huang left, Yang Biao looked at the officials with a smile: "National affairs are difficult now, and the court does not have much money and food. Since we are born as ministers of the Han Dynasty, we should fulfill our loyalty."

"What do you think?"

"Donate fifty hu of grain!"

"Donate two thousand dollars!"

“Below…”

The officials reported one number after another with an ugly expression.

At this time, they felt very wonderful in their hearts.

It was as if I was not a courtier who received his salary at all, but a high-ranking emperor.

After all, before, they had never been worried about the money and food of the court.

But now there is nothing to do.

If they don’t donate, there will be more people willing to donate.

What's more, the real power faction is still constantly eroding the power of the court.

If they cannot integrate into the court as soon as possible, there will be no one except them who will lose everything.

From this point of view, these "old ministers of the previous dynasty" suddenly understood Lin Chen's approach.

Although this "Prime Minister" was constantly asking them for money and food, they were really gradually integrating into the court.

As long as I can integrate, are you still afraid that I will not be able to get the money back in the future?

Even if they get their salary, they can get it back. What's more, the families of all officials are very unusual. As long as they can maintain their own status, they can still maintain their original interests.

Perhaps, in the end they earn more.

...

With the help of court officials, the candidates who arrived in the imperial examination were very lucky to receive a sum of money.

For a certain part of this group of people, these money and food are nothing at all.

But this money and grain played a big role for other people.

Among these other people, Jia Kui, who can't even afford pants.

"The Han Dynasty is expected to prosper again!"

He looked at the craftsmen and farmers leaving from afar, looked at the money and food in his hands again, took a deep breath, and murmured.

"If you don't say much about others, Jia will be rewarded by the favors of the state!"

There are many people like him.

They all quietly made an oath.

In the future, some of them may deteriorate, but at this moment, their words come from the sincerity.

Under such circumstances, another five days passed.

On this day, the day of the list has finally arrived.

And just as the news appeared, countless people flocked to the area where the list was posted.

After arriving, they all stretched their necks and were eager to see the list text.

At this moment, voices appeared with great confidence.

"I'm in high school!"

"Only the top scholar can show my name!"

"I don't ask for the top scorer, I just want to ask for an admission."

People looked at them one after another, and when they saw that these people were from large clans or relatives of officials, they quickly turned their eyes away.

Of course, people are unwilling to give up, but they know very well that the world is not so fair.

For these confident people, they could have been elected as officials.

Now, there is just an extra layer of seemingly fair exams.

But the real fairness...is obviously impossible.

"It's really a mortal..."

In the crowd, Jia Kui glanced at the people who were raising their heads like big gooses and instantly came back to his senses.

Then, he looked at someone beside him: "Do you have confidence in this imperial examination?"

"Hey, there are five questions in total. I only made three of them. I feel a little ashamed."

The person who was asked by Jia Kui shook his head bitterly.

"Three ways?"

Jia Kui said in surprise: "You can win this time. I heard that there are very few people who can solve three questions in the imperial examination."

"This man..."

A surprise flashed across the man's face, but soon he pressed it down: "Where did you hear the news?"

"Secretariat of the Secretariat."

Jia Kui lowered his voice and pointed to the Tao in the sky.

"In this way, can you really win?" The joy on the man's face was hard to hide.

Several figures around him also showed joy on his face, and he also showed a look of listening.

"I'm afraid it's unlikely..."

Jia Kui shook his head and sighed, "Because I also heard that after this imperial examination, the people who reviewed the papers, such as Shangshu Lin, Shilang Jia, etc., had a great quarrel with other officials."

"In the end, although the noise went out, from the perspective of the following, I'm afraid there was a compromise..."

Seeing that everyone around him came over, Jia Kui suddenly raised his voice and said, "To be honest, Jia Kui has done all five questions, but at this moment... he is still worried in his heart."
