Chapter 258: The atmosphere in the household department has become tense
Wearing a sleeve and leaving, Fang Xuanling felt a little embarrassed.
To say that this Dai Guan, he was seriously ill two years ago and almost died, but it was only after Sun Simiao and Li Kuan joined forces to treat him that he was pulled back from the Ghost Gate.
However, Dai Xuan was loyal by nature, talented, familiar with the law, and familiar with copywriting.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he served as a subordinate recorder, and was deeply appreciated by Nayan Su Wei and Pei Ju, the waiter of the Yellow Gate.
It can be said that the qualifications are older than Fang Xuanling, and today he was provoked by Li Zhi as a child, and it is understandable that he feels that he can't hold his face.
"Your Majesty, the matter of the imperial examination examiner just mentioned, Wei Chen thinks it is better to settle it early, seeing that the examination will start in another month, so it is better to prepare early."
In previous years, the imperial examinations were sometimes in January, sometimes in February, and there was basically no fixed number.
However, since the reform three years ago, it is basically fixed in late January every year, and only five subjects have been retained in the imperial examination subjects, namely Ming Jing Subject, Jin Shi Subject, Ming Law Subject, Ming Arithmetic Department and Ming Medical Subject.
As for the Xiucai course, which is too difficult, as well as the messy Junshi department, the boy department, etc., all of them have been canceled.
Sometimes, there are too many subjects in the imperial examination, which not only does not serve the purpose of promoting the development of the imperial examination, but disperses the influence of the imperial examination out of thin air, and it is better to cut it directly.
Nowadays, the Ming Jing Department and the Jinshi Department are relatively close to the imperial examinations of the Song and Ming dynasties, of course, the Tang Dynasty does not take the Bagu Wen.
However, the Ming Law, Ming Calculation and Ming Medicine are a bit of a later generation, which is much better than the Ming and Qing Bagu Wen families.
After all, the court officials really govern the world, and the use of clear laws and clear calculations is actually quite great.
As for the Ming Medical Department, it was purely because the average life expectancy in this era was too low, and it was necessary to continuously improve the level of medicine, so it was retained under Li Kuan's suggestion.
Otherwise, with Li Shimin's thoughts, he would rather keep the three history departments and the Taoist science than the medical department.
"Xuan Ling, do you have any proposals?"
In previous years, this imperial examination was presided over by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but after the reform, the examiner's person selected to win it was received by Li Shimin into his own hands.
This can be regarded as a disguised improvement of the fairness of the imperial examination.
The overall effect of the imperial examination reform is also very good, although next year will only be the third year, but the number of candidates participating in the imperial examination is rising rapidly, and the influence is also expanding.
Li Shimin listened to Li Zhong's report some time ago, saying that when Li Kuan established the Guanshishan Academy, he boasted that he wanted to let at least 100 students from the Guanshishan Academy participate in the imperial examination in the future, and he wanted to take the top prize in the Ming Law, Ming Calculation, and Ming Medicine.
"Your Majesty, the candidate for the examiner is related to the imperial examination, and Weichen thinks that Xuancheng is a suitable candidate."
Although Wei Zheng is now a provincial servant, he can be regarded as a figure of the same level as Fang Xuanling.
The imperial examination presided over by Shangshu Province seems to be a bit ...... to let the provincial servants serve as examiners
However, Fang Xuanling can become a famous figure through the ages, so naturally he doesn't account for too many messy things.
More often, he takes the interests of Datang and Li Shimin as the primary consideration.
"It is a good choice for the imperial examination to reflect fairness, to make the scholars believe in the sincerity of the imperial court in selecting talents, and to let Xuancheng serve as an examiner."
Fang Xuanling's planning level, Li Shimin has always believed in it, and this time is no exception.
……
Next to the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Zhi temporarily occupied a room, which was already full of statistical ledgers of various state capitals.
Li Zhi took his little hands behind his back, walked around the room, took a deep breath, sat down, and began to work.
The son was very sensible and played by himself on the side, and from time to time when Li Zhi asked for the account book of a certain state capital, he enthusiastically asked to help get it.
"One five goes four, two five goes three ......"
Li Zhi held a quill in one hand, crackled in the other, and then quickly wrote down various data on the paper.
When he was in the palace of the king of Chu, Li Zhi had already learned to use tables to manage data.
Silk, cotton, corn, copper coins......
After categorization, the data of each state capital is entered one by one.
Li Shimin once came over to take a few looks, looking at the numbers like ghost drawings in Li Zhi's pen, he knew that they were Arabic numerals, Li Kuan had been doing it for a while, but he didn't expect that he would see someone actually use it for the first time.
Li Zhi looked serious, even if Li Shimin came, he didn't notice it.
The quill pen writes much faster than the brush, and it saves a lot of trouble, so the state account books in the house have been summarized into Li Zhi's ledger one by one.
Li Zhi remembers very well that he sorted out the data of various state capitals in strict accordance with Professor Li Kuan's bookkeeping rule of "there must be loans and loans must be equal".
No matter how much tax the state collects and how much the balance remains, there is a balance of discrepancies.
Among the household departments, after Dai Zhou went back, he immediately personally supervised and accelerated the statistics of tax data, and even dispatched more than 20 additional officials to help sort out these data.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the household seemed to have become a lot more solemn.
"Dai Shangshu came back from the palace today, his face is not very good-looking, you must be careful when calculating these account books, don't make mistakes, otherwise there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat at that time."
The boss attaches great importance to it, and the head of the branch naturally supervises the battle in person to show his attention.
"Chief Xiang, the data of these state capitals has a lot of names, not that there are more people, it must be faster, if there is a link that is accidentally miscalculated, it has to be pushed to start again, this matter, I can't rush it."
A relatively senior official complained a little in front of Chief Xiang, which can be regarded as expressing the thoughts of the officials present.
In previous years, the tax statistics of this year were calculated after the beginning of spring, and the two years were advanced to the end of each year, which made everyone's work suddenly become much more compact.
Although it is only the data of December last year and January to November of this year, it is still enough to come up with the results before the year.
After all, it takes time for the account books of the state capitals to reach the household department, and there is no Internet to spread at any time in this era.
"That's the truth, you think I don't know. But Dai Shangshu personally instructed to speed up the progress, even if everyone goes home later, they must speed up, anyway, there are enough whale oil candles in the ministry, even if you fight until the middle of the night, there is no problem. ”
Although whale oil candles are not yet consumed by ordinary people, the price has been much lower than the previous beeswax and butter candles.
The Daming Palace, Taiji Palace, various yamen and nobles in Chang'an City are the largest consumers of whale oil candles.
"Hey, it seems that there are no good days in this time! It's good, how can you say that you can speed up! ”
The leader has a mouth, and the leg is broken below!
No matter what time it is, this law does not change.
