Ten years of cold windows no one asked, and in one fell swoop became famous all over the world.

If the imperial examination is in one fell swoop, then it is the spring breeze and horseshoe disease, and one day to see all the Chang'an flowers, it is the carp that has changed into a golden dragon. . .

At present, Song Zhigong abolished all the subjects, only the Jinshi department remained, and there are scholars from the Jinshi background, stepping into the official career, then it will be highly valued, as long as there is no particularly out-of-the-ordinary thing, its career will be extremely smooth, even if it is promoted step by step, and finally will be in a high position.

And if you want to become a ruler or deputy ruler, become a person under one person and above ten thousand people, become a person who attracts the attention of the whole world, and be a very popular minister, you basically have to be born as a jinshi.

The subjects of Jinshi are often all generals and all of them are generals.

Some official positions, such as so-and-so university scholars and the like, cannot be held without a jinshi background, and high-ranking officials and lords cannot be held without the title of so-and-so university scholars.

Such a huge temptation makes the world's scholars rush to it, and they try all kinds of ways to desperately want to have a Jinshi background. This is especially true for many people from humble backgrounds, seeing it as the only way to change their fate.

Even many people who have entered the ranks through other channels and already have a certain official position still want to enter the Shike, and they are dreaming of it.

High-ranking officials, beautiful wives and concubines, and princes are almost what every scholar wants. Of course, there were a few people who participated in the imperial examinations for the sake of other lofty ideals, but the vast majority of them were duplicitous.

Of course, if you fail in the imperial examination, then it will be a different matter, it will become a half-life wasted workday, and you don't know anyone for a day. The sideburns are few spots black, and they gradually become the same color as the cloth. . .

Most of the scholars are powerless, if the imperial examination falls, or even falls again and again, and fails to try, they will basically cut off the source of livelihood, especially the poor scholars, will have no life, go to another country, and be thrown to the side of the road and no one cares about it.

The contrast is so great that many test takers are thinking and worried.

On the fourth day of the examination in Guizhou, many students were too concerned and the weather was hot and humid or rainy, so by the time of the fourth session, seventy or eighty students had fainted in the examination room and were unconscious.

The officials in the examination room were also very busy, constantly carrying the fainted students out of the examination room and looking for treatment.

Most of the students who fainted were given up on the road to the imperial examination.

Li Sanjian "has been on the battlefield for a long time", has a very strong psychological quality, and is not affected by these circumstances, chewed a few mouthfuls of glutinous rice cakes made by his mother-in-law Fu Erniang, drank a few sips of water, and continued to answer the question.

After several days of taking the test, eating and sleeping in the examination room, Li Sanjian was of course exhausted, but eating the sweet glutinous rice cakes made by Fu Erniang and thinking about his mother's expectations for him, he felt less tired.

The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt.

Although Fu Erniang did not say anything that made Li Sanjian have to pass the exam, Li Sanjian understood his mother's expectations for him, hoping that he would be able to be named on the gold list, and that he would be able to comfort his father Li Qing's spirit in the sky.

Fu Erniang rushed to Lingshan County, Qinzhou to take care of Li Sanjian's life, except that she couldn't rest assured that Li Sanjian was not at ease, and the rest was to have great expectations for Li Sanjian.

However, it is too early to mention the title of the gold list at present, and the road ahead will be more bumpy, and the competition will become more and more fierce.

Li Sanjian pinched the brush hard, trying to return his thoughts to the exam questions.

Today is the last day of the exam, and it is the last test, and the content of the test is the three current policies, one of which was actually corrected by Li Sanjian.

This current policy is about the Bosi of Qiongzhou City, which is not much different from what Li Sanjian guessed, it is about Guangnan West Road, and it is about Boyi.

The so-called city ship division is the imperial court set up to hold the goods and sea ships to conquest and trade, from far away people, through the far things of the yamen. During the first year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a city envoy in Guangzhou Prefecture, which was generally served by eunuchs and was the predecessor of the city shipping department.

Song Kaibao four years, the company in Guangzhou, the city of the ship division under the city of the city, the city of the ship, the city of the warehouse and other yamen. Later, with the development of overseas trade, the city of Hangzhou was set up in Mingzhou, Quanzhou and Mizhou.

In the third year of Song Yuanfeng, the imperial court promulgated the "Guangzhou City Shipping Law", and the imperial court ordered Chen Qianjian, the transfer envoy of Guangnan West Road, to investigate whether Qiongzhou would set up a city shipping department. In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Wu Qian, the minister of Guangxi, also wrote a letter, stating that Qiongtai had no market and was irrational, but then the court vetoed the matter.

This matter should have been a trivial matter for the people at that time, and few people knew about it.

Guizhou judge Hu Wenhai, that is, now the chief examiner of Guizhou to solve the test Hu Wenhai once participated in the court discussion that year, Hu Wenhai was in favor of the establishment of the division in Qiongzhou, at this time Hu Wenhai suddenly used this matter to propose, let the students express their opinions, it should be said that it was a bit unexpected, so the students felt a little difficult.

But for Li Sanjian, it couldn't be easier, one of the reasons is that Li Sanjian has already guessed the topic in this regard, and the other is that Li Sanjian can't understand the necessity and importance of opening coastal ports. The third is that Li Sanjian is a native of Qiongtai.

"When the division is placed in Qiongzhou, not only Qiongzhou, but also the ports in Qiongtai will be placed as soon as possible. . . ."

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Sanjian put pen to paper and wrote down his views.

Li Sanjian then wrote down the following reasons, Qiongtai is located in the tropics, and the products produced are important items extracted and bought by the city, such as famous incense, betel nut, cuiyu, yellow wax, sumac, beji and other various items, especially famous incense, such as agarwood, Penglai incense, raw incense, cloves, etc.

"About Hainan incense, the air is clear, such as lotus, plum ying, goose pear, honey spleen and the like, and the incense is often fishy, not very fishy, the meaning is short, with wood, the tail smoke will be burnt, it can be seen that the fragrance is not as far as Hainan. . . ." Li Sanjian went on to write.

Li Sanjian not only understands the things produced by Qiongtai, but also knows that there is a lot of wasteland in Qiongtai, and the people of Qiongtai do not have enough food to eat, so the people of Qiongtai trade with merchants from all over the country with pearls and famous incense, and the merchants in various places, including some merchants and Hu merchants, trade with the people of Qiongtai with wine, rice, yarn and porcelain.

From this point of view, Qiongtai's trade activities were quite frequent, so why did the imperial court give up such financial resources?

Li Sanjian then wrote that the imperial court placed the division in Qiongtai, which could not only promote local trade, but also increase or decrease taxes for the imperial court, so why not?

Li Sanjian wrote this purpose, but also a little selfish, that is, after more businessmen, the price will not be the same as before, monopolized by a very small number of people, Li Sanjian thinks that the real pearls picked by his family may be sold to the imperial court much more than those profiteers, so as to increase the income of his family.

Li Sanjian's second reason is that Qiongtai is located in the traffic hub, and there are many good ports, which is a necessary place and resting place for commercial ships, such as Shenying Port, Shilan Port, Fengjia Port, Boao Port, etc., even so, Qiongtai as a prosperous place for maritime trade, it is natural for the company to manage it.

"The world only knows the land battle, but does not know the wonder of the four seas, the world only knows the power of the cavalry, but does not know the fierceness of the boat division. Why is it not feasible to control land by sea? ”

Li Sanjian not only agreed to the establishment of a city ship division in Qiongtai, but also suggested opening the coastal ports of the Song Dynasty and establishing a strong boat division, which would not only bring great wealth to the imperial court, but also be able to compete with the north by sea and land.

You must know that the Shenzhou Continent has a coastline of tens of thousands of miles, and such a long coastline will not work without a strong boat division.

Li Sanjian also wrote about the importance of the ocean.

Whoever controls the sea controls the world, whoever controls the world controls wealth, whoever controls the ocean has the ability to control maritime transport, whoever has the ability to control maritime transport controls world trade, and whoever controls world trade controls world wealth and thus the world itself.

Li Sanjian didn't understand the names of the states on the other side of the sea, so he could only use the vague names of the Zhufan countries.

Li Sanjian wrote about the importance of expanding trade with overseas states, so that not only could he grab great wealth, but also obtain some technology that the Song did not have, and even some key military technology.

After Li Sanjian finished answering this current policy, it was almost time for the final acceptance of the papers, and several officials had already come over, ready to forcibly collect the papers, and were ready to be confused and transcribed.

The so-called vague name, also known as sealing, is to paste the information about the candidate's name, place of origin and other information on the paper, so as to prevent the examiner from using this information to cheat for personal gain.

However, some people still use the special marks made by the candidates on the paper to cheat for personal gain, so on the basis of the vague name, the Song Imperial Examination has added a transcription system, which is to transcribe a copy of the test paper by a special person after the paper is collected, and the examiner will review and determine it according to the copy.

However, if the transcription is followed by internal and external collusion, favoritism and malpractice will be a different matter.

In this way, it is a good thing for people like Li Sanjian to "three nos", at least Li Sanjian's bland font can be temporarily covered up...

。。。。。。。。

"Brother Han Ren is talented, and my brother admires him so much." After Li Sanjian and Zeng Gongming walked out of the examination room side by side, Zeng Gongming ignored the beads of sweat on his face and thanked him respectfully.

The general direction of the examiner's question was really confused by Li Sanjian, which made Zeng Gongming admire Li Sanjian so much.

The two also discussed this for two days and two nights, and basically both of them felt that they answered well.

It's just that Zeng Gongming's answer is not as clear and thorough as Li Sanjian's.

"What did Donglin say?" Li Sanjian smiled tiredly and said, "It's just a fluke." ”

"Haha, Brother Han Ren laughed." Zeng Gongming smiled happily: "Brother Han Ren's luck is worth ten years of reading for others." ”

"You... Boy, that's not how you shoot a sycophant. Li Sanjian smiled and hammered Zeng Gongming with a fist.

"Hehe" Zeng Gongming said with a smile: "Brother Han Ren, my brother has prepared a banquet, and you and my brothers will not get drunk today." ”

"Hey, I'm so tired, let's talk about it another day." Li Sanjian excused.

Li Sanjian just wants to get a good night's sleep at the moment.

"Go, go, I'll tell you, there are unexpected surprises." Zeng Gongming then said mysteriously.
