Gan Long appointed an illiterate person as the examiner of the imperial examination. What did he use to decide the champion?

Zhao Hui, a famous star of Qing Dynasty, judged who won the first prize according to the number of circles on the examination paper. Zhao Hui's military commander, still an unusual military commander, has just returned from winning the battle. As a monarch, Gan Long will naturally give a lot of praise. How can we reward the victorious general to show Qianlong's attention and trust in him? That is to find a very weighty thing for the general to do, so that the emperor can be regarded as giving the general face.

Considering the harmony between generals, it is not a simple matter for Qianlong to let this general be the examiner of the imperial examination. The candidates for the imperial examination are candidates for a group of important officials in the future, which is undoubtedly a matter of difference. However, it is difficult for Zhao Hui to have a military commander as the examiner of the imperial examination, even if civil servants have no different opinions. He stayed in the barracks day after day and didn't read much, but now he has to judge the candidates and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

However, this is, after all, because Ganlong is showing his concern for detained officials. So, how can Gan Long find something for Zhao Hui that Zhao Hui himself can't do? Gan Long has his own know-how. In fact, Zhao Hui doesn't need to do anything with his brain, because Ganlong has found nine heavyweight subordinates for Zhao Hui. As a result, it is good for these nine subordinates to read the papers. They just need to draw a few circles on the paper they have seen. Although Zhao Hui hasn't read any books, it's not a problem to count or anything.

Therefore, Zhao Hui only needs to wait until these capable subordinates have a good look at all the candidates' papers, and then circle them. After reunification with Zhao Hui, Zhao Hui can at most decide who will win the highest prize by counting the circles on the paper. In this way, neither the imperial examination nor the desire to praise the victorious general was delayed. This is indeed a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. But also conducive to the relations between officials of the DPRK and China. Therefore, it is really a good idea for Zhao Hui to judge these documents.
