Three Baskets of Paddy, Infuriating Zhu Yuanzhang!

In the main hall.

Most of the scholars were frowning, scratching their ears and cheeks. They found it difficult to write, and their hearts were extremely anxious.

How could he identify the rice?

Who could save them!

This group of scholars panicked.

They were filled with regret.

As the saying goes, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen…

Far my ass!

If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have listened to the nonsense of staying far away from the kitchen. If they had entered the kitchen and understood the grain, they wouldn't have had such a difficult time in the court examinations today.

They looked enviously at the few scholars who were writing so quickly.

If only they could do the same.

The officials looked at the scholars.

He looked sympathetic.

In the past, they had also participated in the imperial examination.

She also knew that the exam was not easy.

However, they asked themselves.

There had never been a question as strange and difficult as Tidas's.

It was purely their bad luck for this batch of scholars to meet Tidas.

"Retake the exam."

"At least there won't be Tidas in the next batch."

The officials thought to themselves.

The lamp that was placed at the side was 17 feet tall and made of gold and jewelry. It was extremely dazzling and luxurious. The interior was divided into four layers. The upper layer was arranged in a circular shape with the patterns of the two constellations and the sun and moon. The lower layer displayed birds, turtles, dragons, and tigers.

A wooden puppet in the four corners of the lamp was holding a bronze cymbal, emitting a clear and deep sound of water.

The sound spread out like invisible ripples.

It resounded throughout the entire hall.

Two hours later, it was time for the court examinations.

"The time has come. All examinees, stop writing!”

The eunuch shouted while holding a horsetail whisk.

The scholars nervously put down the pens in their hands, their faces reluctant to part.

They hadn't finished writing.

She didn't know if she had written it correctly.

The eunuch put away the answers one by one, then looked hesitantly at Zhu Yuanzhang and then at Tidas.

The chief examiner of the court examinations was usually the emperor.

Therefore, according to the usual practice, the answer was given to the emperor.

But this time was different.

The head examiner was a small Fifth Rank doctor.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the eunuch's hesitation and waved his hand.

"Hand the answer sheet to the examiner."

Tidas was the main examiner.

He should be the one reviewing the papers.

Moreover, until now, he still did not understand Tidas's operation.

"Here."

The eunuch replied respectfully.

He handed the answer sheet in his hand to Tidas with both hands.

"Lord Ye, the scholars 'answers.”

Tidas nodded in response and took the answer sheet.

He looked at them one by one.

The scholars stared at Tidas with resentful faces. The resentment almost materialized.

What did they do?

To think that they could get this genius who set the exam questions to give them the test questions.

Moreover, the palace examination questions this time. Was this considered a question?

Distinguish the rice?

They had never seen or heard of such a test before.

The tribute officer of the past.

How could there be questions like theirs?

He had finally racked his brains to pass Tidas's devil questions. Who would have thought that he would also be in the court examination?

What grudge did they have?

To think that they had read a lot of books and memorized the Four Books and Five Classics.

This time, he would probably fall into the hands of the devil, Tidas.

All the scholars were sad.

They had spent most of their lives on policy studies, eight-legged essays, and were also good at reciting poems.

If Tidas tested them, they would naturally not be afraid.

Even if they had to write a poem in seven steps.

After racking their brains, they could also come up with a few high and low songs.

However, Tidas had to do it in an evil direction.

If it was an unpopular sect, then so be it.

Tidas just had to do something strange.

All the officials looked at Tidas curiously.

She didn't know what he wanted to do by letting the scholars identify the rice.

And what about the scholars 'answers?

Tidas quickly read the answer sheet in his hand.

Most scholars did not touch the spring water and lived in luxury. They did not know how to distinguish the quality of rice.

Therefore, this group of people said that the rice was good.

In order to show off their ability to write articles and memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, they quoted classics to praise the three baskets of rice.

Tidas looked at his phone like an old man.

There are dozens of lines in one eye.

Tidas quickly read it.

His photographic memory allowed him to remember everything after scanning it once.

Soon, Tidas finished reading the thick stack of answers.

Among these answers, only a few people could identify three baskets of rice.

As for the rest, none of them could recognize the rice.

Tidas put down the answer sheet in his hand, divided it into several stacks, and asked the eunuch to hand it over to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Everyone was surprised.

They finished marking the papers so quickly?

"The answers of more than two hundred scholars, and this person finished it so quickly. Clearly, he didn't read it seriously. This person is really careless.”

The Minister of Rites, Ren Ang, couldn't help but curse.

Liu Bowen was also stunned.

He felt a little strange.

"Isn't this person's reading speed too fast?”

The scholars could not help but frown.

Although most of them could not tell the quality of the rice, they were all racking their brains to write articles.

However, Tidas finished reading a person's article in less than a few seconds.

Such perfunctory actions made them unhappy.

Their impression of Tidas immediately became very bad.

Zhu Yuanzhang could not wait to know what Tidas was trying to do.

He didn't even look at the scholar's answer sheet handed over by the eunuch. Instead, he asked,"

"Doctor Ye, why did you bring three baskets of rice to the main hall to test these scholars?”

All the civil and military officials and scholars looked at Tidas.

They also wanted to know the answer.

Especially the scholars.

Their gazes were so hot that it was as if they wanted to stare through Tidas.

Such a perverted question.

Was it really for people to take the test?

It was simply ridiculous.

They were not going to be farmers, so why did they have to identify the rice?

If Tidas did not give them a definite reply.

They probably could not help but spar with Tidas in the hall.

Tidas did not answer. Instead, he said,

"Emperor, do you know where these three baskets of rice came from?”

"These three baskets of rice came from Yangzhou, Taicang, and the military warehouse.”

Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils contracted slightly, and his expression darkened.

He had originally thought that these three baskets of rice were casually obtained by Tidas for the scholars to identify. He did not expect that these rice came from these places.

Taicang was the granary of the Ming Dynasty.

The military granary was the granary for the soldiers.

However, out of the three baskets of rice, only one was good. The other two baskets of rice were extremely poor.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a farmer.

Therefore, he could easily identify the quality of the rice.

At the same time, he vaguely realized the problem.

"Doctor Ye, continue!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was filled with anger.

"This basket is full of grains from Yangzhou.”

"This basket of dried grains came from Taicang.”

"And this basket of moldy grains came to the military warehouse.”

Tidas informed.

"Good!"

"Alright!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.

He said yes.

However, his face was clouded with dark clouds, and he did not have the slightest joy.

After all, Great Ming's granary Taicang and military granary were important food reserves.

The food inside was of such poor quality.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang furious.

Zhu Yuanzhang pressed his hand on the armrest, and the veins on the back of his hand popped out. He was so angry that his face turned red. He suppressed his anger and said,

"Doctor Ye."

"Tell me, what do these three baskets of different grains represent?”

"Let this group of people hear it!”
