Chapter 292: A New Stepping Stone
If the time for the township test and the meeting test is shortened from nine days to one day, Qian Yuan will never be able to pass the test even if he is lucky.
Because Qian Yuan's writing method is to first make drafts, then slowly grind and change, not to mention his foundation, not to mention compared with Suiyuan's friends, even compared with other years of the same year.
But Qian Yuan doesn't care, anyway, a third-class jinshi has already arrived.
But Qian Yuan is still very difficult today, because of the topic.
"Taxation is the foundation of the country, try to discuss the method of the southeast mentions."
Qian Yuan was very sure that this was by no means the subject of the 35th year of the Jiajing palace examination in history, and Emperor Jiajing should have been affected by the Japanese invaders who attacked Nanjing for thousands of miles last year to force Hu Zongxian to resign.
Even if we don't take into account the gang of pirates, the chaos caused by Hu Zongxian's single-minded promotion of the compilation method in the southeast is quite big, and it is said that some places have mentioned Jiajing for more than 40 years.
There is no way, the first class is insufficient, and the next class is immediately mentioned, theoretically it is a first class for a year, but in fact, in the case of the southeast war situation that requires a large amount of silver taels, the lack of the first class is the norm, and the lack of two or three is normal.
It's been a long time, and the exam paper in front of Qian Yuan is still blank, and he has a lot to say about this question, which direction is the question going?
Emperor Jiajing sat on the throne far away, obviously not sleeping well last night and was dozing; Yan Song was too old, sitting on a round bench, and only Xu Jie, Lu Ben, Wu Shan, Zhao Wenhua, Li Mo and others were inspecting the hall.
Qian Yuan ranked second to last in the exam, and his position was almost at the entrance of the hall, but everyone came to take a turn, and when they saw the blank exam papers, everyone's expressions were different.
Xu Jie's face was expressionless, Lu Ben shook his head with a smile, Zhao Wenhua was a little anxious, and Li Mo looked disdainful.
Among the important ministers of the court, only Li Mo hated Qian Yuan the most.
Thinking about it, Li Mo tried to bring down Hu Zongxian, lead the war to Zhao Wenhua, and finally go to trouble his old rival Yan Song.
But as soon as Qian Yuan entered Beijing, he entered Xiyuan, and Emperor Jiajing immediately reprimanded Cao Bangfu for being a big man, and then Li Mo recommended Wang He, and although Xu Jie did not object, he almost did not communicate with Li Mo regardless of public or private, and Emperor Jiajing appointed Hu Zongxian as the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang, and the power was in his hands, and Yan Song's power was consolidated.
Until noon, Qian Yuan hadn't started his pen, he went to get some tea and filled his stomach with palace cakes, pondering in his heart, the method of drawing up is obviously beneficial to the southeast war situation, and it is almost the only feasible way, but it is an impact on the tax system of the Ming Dynasty, because in addition to grain, the southeast war situation only needs silver, not physical goods.
This is naturally very miserable for the people in the southeast, most of the people can't take out so much silver, even if one is not enough to mention the next one, they still can't take out what they can't take.
However, Hu Zongxian specifically made a fortune merchant into a special bank for silver, but this greatly offended those with vested interests, not to mention those maritime merchants, there are also a large number of wealthy businessmen in Zhejiang and Fujian There are civilian forces looming behind them.
Hu Zongxian's method came from the rat tail book method implemented by the famous minister Xia Shi in Jiangxi during the orthodox period, but because of this tax law, Xia Shi's reputation among the people in Jiangxi was very stinky.
This is where Qian Yuan is difficult to choose, unlike other people who only half-understand the compilation method, it is precisely because he understands that it is difficult to choose.
If you say good things, you will definitely offend people, and you will offend a large number of civil officials in Zhejiang and Fujian.
Speak ill...... Not to mention the rest, Emperor Jiajing alone can't pass this level...... You kid said good things about Hu Zongxian in front of me, and he changed his tune before half a year passed?
At this time, there were already many candidates who had already handed in their papers and left, and the quick thinking of Xu Wei was almost instantaneous, and the Jiajing Emperor above didn't care about those broken rules, and directly asked Huang Jin to bring Xu Wei's exam papers.
The hall has been walking for six or seven years one after another, the remaining candidates are sparse, and the light is gradually dimming, Qian Yuan finally began to sharpen the ink and pick up the pen.
This is the first time that Qian Yuan only wrote the draft in the examination room, not the draft, he worked hard to write, without stopping, and wrote nearly 3,000 words all the time, and the exam paper was full of writing.
Zhao Wenhua was a little worried, there was still the first green word, this was the most difficult, and he was about to send a candle over...... But the next moment, Qian Yuan wrote almost without thinking, and then handed in the paper.
First Xu Wei, then Huiyuan Tao Dalin, Emperor Jiajing read two exam papers on the spot, and chose Qian Yuan for the third time, which made Li Mo quite unhappy, how could he not know Suiyuan's reputation, these three people are all Suiyuan.
"Okay...... Well? ”
"Not bad, not bad." Emperor Jiajing smiled and bowed, "It's really good, it's just that the words are ugly." ”
Huang Jin, who was waiting next to him, covered his mouth and leaned over and whispered, "Emperor, it can't really be written by him, right?" ”
"Of course not!" Emperor Jiajing's lips moved slightly.
Huang Jin smiled, if it wasn't for the Lantern Festival meeting, maybe Qian Yuan would really be able to enter the first class with a green poem.
Emperor Jiajing put the green words aside, picked up Qian Yuan's policy and looked at it a few times, sighed, frowned and looked at it carefully, and then put it down after a while, and hesitated for a moment before signaling the eunuch on the side to send it to the reader for approval, the palace test will be released on the second day, and now the reader is reading in the Wenhua Palace.
Walking out of the Taihe Palace, Qian Yuan stretched his waist, such a low table, he was really wronged by such a long body...... Qian Yuan is quite satisfied with the current body, although he is from the southeast, he is tall, and he is full of legs from the chest down.
Well, it's strange to say, two people crossed over, the woman is more beautiful, and the man is more handsome!
Walking out along the royal street, before he left the Chengtian Gate, Qian Yuan had to stop, and someone behind him was chasing and shouting all the way.
"Oh, Lao Feng." Qian Yuan greeted with a smile, "I haven't thanked you yet, tsk, Xu Wenchang is asking who wrote it." ”
The person who came was Feng Bao, and it was recorded in the history books that he was proficient in piano art and calligraphy, and after the trial list, Feng Bao specially wrote a sub-word to congratulate, of course, it was not without reason, Feng Bao's younger brother Feng You got a lot of foreign sugar from the Taicang Wang's family.
Feng Bao's face was a little pale, this uncle was so bold that he said this in the palace...... This is called making friends with close servants.
"What's wrong?" Qian Yuan understood after a little thought, but he didn't expect Feng Bao, who was in power to lean towards the government and the opposition, to be so small-minded, "Your Majesty sees thousands of miles, let's openly make friends with whoever says what, and secretly collude with that is called a disaster." ”
Feng Bao couldn't laugh and cry, and hooked up...... That's a good word!
"Okay, okay, Zhancai's mouth......" Feng Bao waved his hand, "Your Majesty summoned you, but it's just in Xiyuan." ”
Qian Yuan nodded, his face turned cold, and he pulled Feng Bao out of the way, Zou Yinglong, who had been very difficult these days, stared at Qian Yuan fiercely and walked slowly.
Now Emperor Jiajing is still in the Taihe Palace, and there is plenty of time, Qian Yuan and Feng Bao chatted and strolled around before leaving Chengtianmen.
On the Jinshui Bridge, several Gongsheng were talking.
Qian Yuan stopped and listened carefully.
"Xu Wenchang's fame is spread all over the world, and he is the Zhejiang Township Test Xie Yuan, Tao Dalin is the top five leaders of the Zhejiang Township Test, and he is Huiyuan, why is he Qian Yuan?!"
Emperor Jiajing only read three exam papers, and the candidates saw it clearly.
"I've long heard that he's flattering, and he's just a lucky minister!"
"Maybe this subject is Qian Yuanke, if that's the case, I have to ask the Ministry of Rites to resign, and in addition to my name of Zou Yinglong on the Jinshi list, I'm ashamed to be with him!"
What a draw!
Qian Yuan did not hesitate to pull up the hem of his shirt, rushed over, kicked it hard, and kicked Zou Yinglong, who was making a lot of nonsense, into the railing, and almost fell into the Jinshui River.
"Hey, hey, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth!"
"This ...... Is this Qian Zhancai? ”
"Save people, save people!"
Qian Yuan didn't give up, he broke away for a few years, and kicked over again, "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, I move this foot!" ”
"You Zou Yinglong have the courage to hurt people behind your back, so you must have the consciousness of being kicked behind your back!"
"Shame on me...... If you have the ability, go back to your hometown now, how can there be a shameless person like you in the same year! ”
When the palace guards and even the Jinyi guards came over, Qian Yuan didn't stop talking, and scolded Zou Yinglong by the neck...... Uh, Xu Fan's such a good stepping stone can't be used in the future, just here is Zou Yinglong!
