Suddenly one day Li Chengze suddenly proposed to take a test on the knowledge of the princes, including civil and military courses. He personally set the questions, and the children of the clan were also among them, already to see how everyone was doing.

Of course, the implicit meaning is to see who is more talented and to cultivate them in the future.

This shocked everyone, but the clan was still very happy. Many children could come and compete, show their faces to the emperor, and maybe have a chance.

Several princes were also gearing up, Brother Gan was as steady and calm as ever, and Li Chengze nodded secretly.

However, Brother Zhuo also wanted to participate and had been pestering Li Chengze for two days.

He followed him all the way into Kunning Palace, "Father, I'm just having fun."

"no."

"I only compete in martial arts."

Brother Zhuo, keep up the good work.

"No, it's not a good thing if your reputation is revealed too early. It's not because your father won't let you play, it's not okay."

Li Chengze didn't want people to talk about Brother Zhuo's strength. Ying Zhuozhuo had some rumors, but he didn't admit it. He just said that he was stronger than ordinary children, but his strength was limited. Gradually, fewer people told him.

Huilan waved to Brother Zhuo, and Brother Lian quickly ran into her arms, climbed on her legs and sat down, hugging her neck, and looked at her brother demonstratively, not to mention the pride.

Brother Zhuo was held in Huilan's arms and leaned against him, "Do you want to play?"

"think."

"But if you go and expose it, you will be in a lot of trouble in the future. Aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid. My sister has gone to the northwest. I know she is here for our brothers. I don't want to be a coward."

Brother Zhuo doesn't speak too many words and his expressive ability is limited, but he understands in his heart.

Huilan thought for a while and said, "Okay, in that case you should go and compete. Don't cry if you lose."

"Is it true, Father?"

Brother Zhuo jumped up happily.

Li Chengze rolled his eyes at Huilan and continued to ponder without saying anything.

"Let him go. It's not a problem to hide him. It's better to show him openly. I don't care about reputation. My son won't become injured Zhongyong. If it doesn't work, I'll fight him back."

Huilan smiled calmly, maybe you forgot my whip.

"Okay, since you're not afraid, then go ahead, but you haven't studied for a few years, so you'll lose if you go."

Li Chengze doesn't understand his son's thoughts, and you can't compare with him.

"Father and son go into battle, brothers fight tigers. I can't let my brother face everyone alone. Even if I am useless, I still have to tell everyone that our brothers will always be together. Don't bully young people who are poor. Uncle Liangzi said about this of."

Brother Zhuo supports his brothers in his own way. He has his own ideas and reasons.

Li Chengze looked at his three sons and couldn't help but laugh. He touched the heads of the two naughty boys and said, "Okay, I'll let you go. You won't go."

"I won't compete anymore. I'll go watch the game and cheer for my brothers."

Brother Lian raised his chin and declared proudly.

"Okay. I've cooked meat for you today."

Huilan kissed her two sons, and Brother Lian nuzzled her happily. She also pulled her eldest son over to kiss his forehead. Brother Lian blushed, embarrassed, and his eyes were crooked and bright.

"Let's compete. Mother believes in your strength. When you give me good news, I can write a letter to tell your sister."

"Yes, I will."

Brother Gan’s eyes are firm and bright.

The competition began on the third day. The test questions that Li Chengze personally gave were relatively difficult. They mainly tested difficult questions in the court to see what everyone understood.

Everyone was immersed in writing, only Brother Zhuo was looking around, not knowing what he was looking for.

Li Chengze ignored him and didn't recognize all the words. He was just making up the numbers.

Brother Lian ran over, and the two of them murmured for a while. Brother Lian was like a megaphone, constantly transmitting messages to Brother Zhuo.

Li Chengze couldn't stand it anymore and scolded, "Brother Zhuo, what are you doing? Don't make any noise."

"I'm not playful. I can't write some words."

Brother Zhuo stood up and his face turned red. He had an idea but he didn't understand all the words and couldn't write.

The ministers laughed kindly.

Mr. Ma reminded with a smile, "If you don't know how to write, can you say it? Why are you so anxious? Just think about it in your mind. When I ask you to answer directly, you don't have to write it down."

"Yes, Mr. Ma is so awesome, thank you!"

Brother Zhuo found a solution with a slap in the face.

"Then tell me how to solve the problem of insufficient military pay. If you don't answer seriously, you will be punished."

Li Chengze wanted to knock him down and make jokes.

"The army and the people work together to open up wasteland, use fields to support the army, and let the military relatives follow the army to open up wasteland and farm. Half of the proceeds will be used to support the army, half will be paid to the treasury, and the rest will belong to the army. You can also let the exiled mortals go to mines and do hard labor.

What?"

Zhuo Ge heard some methods Huilan mentioned about this matter, and he thought about it himself and came up with it.

"Oh, then how should we divide the money and food? How can we ensure that officials will not line their own pockets?"

Li Chengze continued to ask questions, and he had to integrate what he learned.

"In addition to what is turned over to the treasury, generals have the right to keep food for their own use for the soldiers. I have asked the stewards and found that sometimes the delivery of food is delayed due to bad weather and road conditions, so that there will be no greater danger.

As for supervision, you can ask the local governor or local officials to supervise the accounts and guard the granaries. It is easy for one person to guard and steal, but once there are more people, it will be difficult to do this, unless everyone works together, but this is very difficult, because

If our interests are inconsistent, we cannot work together."

Brother Zhuo has indeed thought about it. Although the things are very superficial, there are still merits. At least he has remembered what the adults said and thought about it seriously.

Li Chengze was very satisfied after hearing this. Although he is still young, he is smart, willing to endure hardships, and studies diligently. This is something to be proud of.

"Yes, there is some truth in what you said. I'll give you two points, and don't write it. I don't like to see ghostly talismans."

Li Chengze laughed at his bad handwriting.

Brother Zhuo sat down happily and winked at Brother Qian, not to mention how proud he was.

Brother Gan smiled and continued writing without saying anything.

After finishing the policy paper, Li Chengze read it one by one and then showed it to the ministers. The ministers always thought that what Brother Gan wrote was reasonable and well-founded, and had some practical reference value. He had studied it carefully and the approximate benefits of protecting farmland were

It's written down, so I can apply what I learn in daily life and apply it flexibly. It's really good.

The remaining princes' writings have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they all have a fatal flaw. Talking on paper is not as practical as what Brother Zhuo said. He all knew that food delivery would be delayed due to weather problems. These princes were rhetorical and did not say anything.

Get to the point.

Li Chengze presented three literature and history examination questions, and only Brother Qian answered the best, which was unanimously recognized by the ministers. The difference was so big that it was impossible to say bad things against his will.

Finally it was the turn of the martial arts class, which included archery, fists and kicks, and there were soldiers who were responsible for testing the princes and clan members.
