"Next year's key projects, education, land reform!" After pouring out all the thoughts in one go, Zhu Youxiao emphasized again.

After listening to all the emperor's ideas about the imperial examination, Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong both deeply admired, it is true that there are saints every five hundred years, from the former Song Dynasty to the present, exactly five hundred years, I didn't expect it to be His Majesty today.

"Your Majesty's talent, the old minister admires." Xu Guangqi said with admiration.

Sun Chengzong was the same, but his eyes were vicious, and he saw a problem that had not been solved until now, "It's just, Your Majesty, how should I take the exam next autumn?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall was suffocated, and Zhu Youxiao and Xu Guangqi looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while. The two of them seem to have such a talent when talking about government affairs, and they always digress from a pragmatic technical discussion to a retreat theory and state system discussion.

"Next year's autumn ......." Zhu Youxiao rubbed his head, a little distressed.

"Your Majesty, why don't you continue as usual, or as in the past, the cultural departments of various provinces will raise schools to organize the organization." Xu Guangqi suddenly interjected.

It is best to get the chief official of the cultural department, and it is enough to directly transfer it from the previous provincial students, and therefore, the title of this position has not changed, and it is still called a school.

"Okay, that's it, everything remains the same, as for the ...... of Chunqiu," Zhu Youxiao thought about it, or said, "It's still a separate subject exam, but the subjects are changed, and they are divided into, liberal arts, martial arts, science and overseas subjects." ”

As for the martial arts that are called the same as the civil official imperial examination, it has been stopped as early as when the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was re-established, and the martial arts examination was originally held by the Ministry of War, but after the Metropolitan Governor's Office usurped the power of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War was not qualified to hold the military examination, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion had a royal military academy, and there was no need for martial arts to transport talents.

What's more, now that there is a martial arts department that has been connected to the township test, there is no need for martial arts, so that martial arts exist in name only and gradually disappear.

After listening to the emperor's division of the form of the examination, Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi couldn't help but think deeply, liberal arts, science, and martial arts are all easy to understand, which was reflected in the last imperial examination, which is not surprising. It's just that this overseas department is worth pondering, overseas overseas, and today's overseas are all the world of Westerners.

"Haha, the two of you have thought about it, overseas is not only Westerners, but also our subject territories." Zhu Youxiao laughed.

"Hey, hey." The two old foxes laughed and said nothing, does Your Majesty really think so, I'm afraid it may not be!

"I don't care about the content of the imperial examination, but the form must change." Zhu Youxiao didn't care about the two of them, and said to himself, "You have learned more Indian numbers, far more accurate than what we used in the past, I plan to introduce them into the scoring of the imperial examination papers, the total score is 100 points, and each test question stipulates the score, and then according to the candidate's answers, the score, the volume, the handwriting, the idea, etc., to make the score high, so that it must be much more accurate than the grading of A, B, and C." ”

There are many contents of the imperial examination, such as sticking scriptures, Moyi, eight shares, poems, strategies, etc., each of which has an examination, and the division is the first class above, the first class in the middle, the first class below, the second class above such regulations, the division of A, B, C, the upper, middle and lower levels, but only nine levels, relatively speaking, relatively sparse, by no means superior.

Now that the 100-point system is out, there are no such problems.

"That's good, that's it. After listening, Xu Guangqi immediately sensed the benefits of this and immediately clapped his head.

The emperor proposed, and the head of government agreed, and in this way, the score system and the college entrance examination system, which were hated by later generations of students, were born, and while they continued to provide a large number of talents for the empire, they were also reviled by countless people.

What kind of high score and low energy, only the score is lifted, etc., all come out.

"Okay, the imperial examination problem is solved, you can go down if you have nothing to do, I want to rest." Seeing that Xu Guangqi agreed, Zhu Youxiao relaxed his waist and wanted to go back to see his daughter and rest.

It's just that he thought too easily, and saw Xu Guangqi looking at him in surprise, "It's okay?" Your Majesty, how can it be okay, this is just the beginning, the imperial examination was just asked casually by the old minister, I didn't expect to get the result, but I didn't expect His Majesty to solve it directly to the old minister. ”

Poof!

Xu Guangqi's words were not as good as a sword directly on Zhu Youxiao's chest, he looked at the old man opposite with a little sadness and anger, and really wanted to shout, your old routine is too deep, and the kid is willing to bow down.

However, at this time, Sun Chengzong also joined in the fun and said, "Your Majesty can't just leave, there are still many important things to discuss on the minister's side." ”

I can't live this day, I knew that it was better to lead the troops outside, so I was at ease. Zhu Youxiao intuitively felt that the sky was dark, and the whole world was dark, and he had an intuition, I was afraid that he would not be able to leave this palace all day today.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhu Youxiao sat down with a weak look, and asked Xu Guangqi to explain the problem.

"That's right, Your Majesty." Xu Guangqi flipped through it and pulled out a notebook. "Last year, when the DPRK was attached, His Majesty sent an official letter saying that a national postal code accurate to the county and township should be established for mailing letters. This project is huge, and the minister handed it over to the head of the post horse house to come to Sixing. ”

"And after a year and a half, this postal code has been successfully formulated, correspondingly, with the progress of the imperial power to the countryside plan, the post house has also been extended to the township, Your Majesty said that the postal plan can almost be implemented, and the post house should be upgraded to the post department accordingly."

Xu Guangqi handed over the fold, Zhu Youxiao took it, looked through it carefully, and was faced with a table, the form was very thick, there were many numbers, according to the division of provinces, prefectures, counties, and townships, a number code was compiled, including two Zhili Prefectures, Jingshi and Tianjin, which also had their own codes.

"There's something wrong here." Zhu Youxiao flipped through the pages and asked a question. "Shanghai County doesn't belong to Songjiang Mansion, this place has an important status, no less than Tianjin, I intend to set up Zhili Prefecture, re-get the code of Shanghai, there is no other problem, wait until the first month of the Dynasty meeting, and release it according to this."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister is from the province." Xu Guang turned on the pen and hurriedly jotted it down.

"And this, Your Majesty, this is written by Lai Si Xing himself, and it is an extension of the postal letter system that His Majesty said." Xu Guangqi handed over the two more copies.

"Inspired by me?" Zhu Youxiao took over the fold with great interest, he was most interested in this kind of twist, what kind of spark will be produced when modern knowledge and the unique cognitive system of the ancients collide with each other? Will there be a better system than the generations to come?

Flipping it open, Zhu Youxiao was a little stunned, he rubbed his eyes, and muttered in disbelief, "Mud Horse, is this to show up in advance for the logistics system, will there be Taobao Tmall or something in the future?" ”

The idea of coming to Sixing is very simple, since the letter can be mailed, then the package, the package can also be mailed, anyway, a large number of letters from one place to another place are to use a carriage, so use some carriages to increase the volume, it is also possible to transport packages, under the expansion, the package can be sent, so what about people, people can also mail it?

Ah no, it's not mailing, it's shipping, specifically transporting guests.

In this era, it is very difficult to go far away, not only the problem of the road, but also the problem of the address, it is very difficult to find a place, as well as food and accommodation, etc., and it is very expensive and time-consuming to go out of a long distance. But these problems are not a problem for the stagecoach, they can transport in large quantities, and they also have their own post stations on various roads, all-inclusive accommodation is not a problem, and safety is guaranteed.

In this way, by earning money for the goods transported and the guests, the stagecoach does not have to allocate the transportation costs of official documents and military orders from the Ministry of Finance every year, and may still earn money in the end.

This concept is very easy to understand for future generations, it is nothing more than a collection of postal, passenger and freight transportation, and the profits in it, as long as it is the people of later generations, there is no one who does not understand, don't look at this is a cumbersome thing, but once it is done, the profits inside are amazing, and it also controls the most important circulation channels, and enhances Zhu You's ability to control the people.

The head of the Stagecoach House is here, this person is very awesome. Zhu Youxiao secretly formed such an impression in his heart that people who can draw inferences from each other according to the postal system he set are rare in Daming. Of course, he was just a little surprised by this proposal, but it was not surprising to talk about it, after all, this was based on his overhaul of the world's roads, and only when the gallop road and straight road were built, Laisi Xing's suggestion could be used.

However, such a degree of innovation is rare for Zhu Youxiao. Therefore, with a little expectation, he opened the second book, which shocked him even more.

Laisi Xing's second book is still about transportation, both freight and passenger transport, but the means of transport are different, not four-wheeled carriages, but sea ships, or his body as a cruiser, flying clippers.

I don't know where this guy got the clipping data, but he understands the meaning of the speed of twelve knots per hour. He talked eloquently in the recital, the speed of the clipper ship far exceeded that of the land, so he opened a shipping company by the sea to transport goods and people, which greatly facilitated the north-south transportation, which could not only strengthen the empire's control over the south, but also reduce the cost of transportation.

These things were actually already being done, so Zhu Youxiao was not surprised, and even a little disappointed, but the following words shocked him beyond measure.

The speed of the clipper boat is rare in the world, and the journey of a day is faster than that of a galloping horse, and day and night, and people can not imagine it wherever it goes. From Beijing to Yunnan and Gansu and other frontier places, it takes half a month to expedite 800 miles, and it is more than a month to travel normally.

Luzon? Java? Or is it full of thorns?

With this sharp weapon, it is only necessary to open the existing flights along the coast today, and send clippers to cruise back and forth at regular and fixed points to transport people and things, so that the people can form the illusion that the island is like the inland.

Now the people of the Ming Dynasty are more than hundreds of millions, although the country is vast now, can still be accommodated, but His Majesty's thoughts, how can it not be planned for future generations, the land is fixed and the population is unlimited, and now the flying clipper boat is God-given His Majesty's treasure land for overseas immigration, and it is where the well-being of future generations lies.

Heaven does not take it, but suffers from it, I hope that Your Majesty will use the future of the Ming Empire to expand overseas and open up territory!
