Chapter 309: I am the master of my own paper

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

"Who is it?!" Wu Feng was furious. For the court examination, their scripts had to be immaculate. This blob of ink basically rendered his script useless.

There were about a dozen other candidates who were just as infuriated.

They had suffered the same fate as Wu Feng. One of them had already written more than 300 words. That blob of ink of his paper meant that it was all a waste.

He could simply use the threat of an army to suppress the enemies of the empire. Simply by marching to the border could instill fear in the enemies, making them afraid to rise up for generations.

Now that he knew what he was going to write about, it came down to the details.

A plan?

Fang Zhengzhi did not have one. He had no idea that the court examination would be a policy paper. He also did not know that it would be a topic like this.

But it was no matter.
