The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, and said half-loudly: "As far as I know, it is generally to find the Jinju Yuan in each state, and then find the corresponding department through the Jinyuan Academy, hand it up layer by layer, and finally go to the desk of King Jin, but it seems that there is no Jinyuan in Chang'an, which is a bit difficult to do!" ”

There must be no Jinjuan Academy, and Zhaozhou is not the territory of the Jin Palace, which makes the shopkeeper very embarrassed, and he said: "Either go to the Jin Palace to submit a book!" There seems to be an official office over there that specializes in receiving submissions from foreign governments. ”

"It's better to be hidden and not to submit a book publicly."

The shopkeeper thought for a while and asked, "Is this important?" ”

"It's important."

"Alright! I have a relative who works in the National Administration, and I went to him for help. ”

.........

At this time, it was the beginning of June, and all the officials in Taiyuan had moved to Chang'an, and now only supplies and grain were still being transported.

Most of the palace of the king of Jin is the palace of the official office and the court meeting, and the official office alone has built more than a dozen magnificent buildings, and the northernmost is a relatively dilapidated two-story old building, which is the Guozi Office of the Ministry of Scholars.

The Guozi Administration is the Guozijian, equivalent to the Ministry of Education in later generations, and the current Guozi Administration is still Meng Jiao, who is not only in charge of the imperial examination, but also in charge of education and school construction in various places.

During this time, Meng Jiao was really busy, going to various counties in Guanzhong to inspect the construction of schools, and after returning, he had to formulate a state examination plan for September, examine and approve the scope of the examination, and so on.

In the past two days, his energy has been focused on the construction of Guozixue and Taixue in the old city and the new official office of the Guozi Administration, which is a big event, according to the plan, the school will be completed in August, and the first batch of students and professors will move in in September.

"His Royal Highness King Jin's request, the school is a place to train specialized talents!"

Meng Jiao strode out of the official room and said to the department: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is actually reasonable, our Taixue and Guozi schools enroll tens of thousands of people, and the students who are finally trained can only read, the officials of the Dushui Department have never seen the rivers, and the officials of the Agricultural Department do not distinguish between grains and grains, and don't people laugh when they pass it out?" ”

Niu Jian sighed, "Taixue and Guozixue are not based on classics, so I always feel weird." ”

"It's not surprising that the imperial examinations at the time of Kaiyuan Tianbao were different, and there were also Ming Arithmetic Subjects, Ming Law Subjects, Ming Character Subjects, One History Section, Three History Subjects, etc., when were there only two subjects left like now, Ming Jing and Jinshi?"

"Is this a matter settled?"

"It hasn't been finalized yet, but it's basically the same, this is what His Royal Highness King Jin has always thought, it was immature before, and now he is considering implementing it."

Meng Jiao patted Niu Jian on the shoulder again and said with a smile: "Don't get entangled, this is actually a good thing, let professionals do professional things, so that students who have learned too much will also have the opportunity to become officials." ”

"Ignorance, understood!"

Meng Jiao came to the carriage, he was just about to get into the car, and a person next to him said: "Order, there is an important matter to report!" ”

Meng Jiao stopped and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"A relative of Beizhi told me last night that a guest from Hebei came to the inn he ran and wanted to see His Royal Highness the King of Jin."

Meng Jiao frowned and said, "You'd better make it clear, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is not something that anyone can see!" ”

"The order, it's Qinghe Cui's family."

Meng Jiao was stunned, "Is it the head of the Cui family in Qinghe?" ”

"Of course not, it's the son of Cui Hao, the assassin of Zhaozhou."

This route is secret enough, and he actually passed the news through his own subordinates, Meng Jiao nodded and asked, "Where is the other?" ”

"At the Qinghe Inn in Feng'anfang."

"I see, I'll take care of this, what's your name?"

"The lowly position is called Xiao Wenqi."

"I remember, you did a good job of this,"

The person was flattered, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you for the compliment, and I will take my leave." ”

Meng Jiao was about to go to the old city to see His Royal Highness the King of Jin, he got into the carriage and ordered: "Go to the old city of Chang'an!" ”

The carriage started and headed for Gwanghwamun Gate.

The Gwanghwamun Gate has been demolished, the main reason is that the city walls on both sides of the street outside the Gwanghwamen Gate have been built, connecting the old city of Chang'an and the city of Chang'an, and a amphibious city gate has been built in the middle of the east city wall, which is called Gwanghwamen. Next to it is the water gate, which is divided into two branches after introducing a Cao River from the Feng River, one flows north into the old Chang'an City, and the other flows into the south into Chang'an City, which is connected with the Cao River of Chang'an City.

The Cao River flows through the middle of the street, and embankments and wharves have been built, and the roads on both sides of the Cao River are paved with special red bricks, which are spacious and smooth, which is very suitable for vehicles.

The shops next to it are in full swing, the outline has come out, and it is expected that the first batch of shops will open in August, which is the commercial street of Chang'an, breaking the shackles of the east and west markets, on this street, eating, drinking, playing and shopping are integrated, quite like the tiles of the Song Dynasty, and there is even a polo field, as well as a greenhouse for performing songs and dances.

Meng Jiao looked at the groups of merchants outside who were choosing shops, he was very emotional, in fact, he also knew that the commerce of various feudal towns in Hebei was very prosperous, including Zhu Zhu, the major forces attached great importance to commerce, which could bring rolling wealth and support their respective armies, His Royal Highness the King of Jin was also very pragmatic, promoting the civilianization of merchants, canceling checkpoints in various places, exempting business taxes, and cracking down on mountain bandits and road tyrants in various places, this series of measures effectively promoted the prosperity of commerce, and Chang'an and other places have gradually recovered their former prosperity, which is just the beginning.

The carriage drove into the old Chang'an City, in fact, the old Chang'an City can no longer be called the old city, except for the city wall and Weiyang Palace did not move, other buildings were razed to the ground and rebuilt.

A new lake covering an area of thousands of acres in the center of the new city has been formed, named Changle Lake, to commemorate the extinct Changle Palace.

The east of the lake is a large area of official residences, there are more than 3,000 small courtyards, basically the middle and low-level officials above the ninth grade and below the fifth grade have all been given the official residences, Hubei is the Guantiantai and the Taishi Bureau, Hunan is the Guozi Administration, the Examination Institute and the Tribute Academy, the area of the west of the lake is the largest, and the Taixue, Guozixue and the Jinju Yuan of various states are located here.

The school and the government have been built for the most part, the craftsmen are laying thick tiles on the roof, busy in full swing, Guo Song stands on a high place, is inspecting the construction of Taixue and Guozixue, school construction has always been the most important aspect of Guo Song, with the expansion of Taixue and Guozixue, education reform has finally been put on the agenda.

The content of Guozixue and Taixue is almost the same, but the source of students recruited is different, but it will be different in the future, and the number of students enrolled in Guozixue will exceed 3,000 people, mainly to train teachers for various states and counties.

In September, nine major majors such as arithmetic, law, martial arts, agriculture, calendar, metallurgy, water conservancy, ordnance, and weaving will continue to increase.

This is also the case that has happened a lot of touching things in recent years, the officials who go to guide agriculture cannot distinguish between grains and the growth of wheat, the officials of the Metallurgical Administration do not know how to smelt metals, the officials of the Degree Branch Department do not know how to settle accounts, the officials of the Ordnance Supervision Department cannot distinguish between the foot bow and the riding bow, and the officials of the Water Department have never seen floods.

Therefore, Guo Song put forward the slogan of 'professional people do professional things', and cultivating professional talents and technical officials has become the top priority of education in the future.

In fact, all dynasties have attached great importance to professional talents, and professional talents are selected for various professional positions.

Another advantage of this is that it avoids the contradiction between the imperial examination and the school, the imperial examination selects government officials, and the Taixue cultivates professional officials, so that the Taixue students also have a way out.

At this time, Meng Jiao hurriedly walked over, bowed down and saluted: "See His Royal Highness King Jin!" ”

Guo Song nodded and said, "Taixue will enroll students in September, how are you prepared?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, there is no problem with enrollment, we have surveyed among the current Tai students, and more than ninety percent of the Tai students are willing to specialize in art and learn professional knowledge."

"Didn't the students resist it before? How has it changed again? ”

"Your Highness, they didn't figure out the interests in this before, the key is that after His Highness announced that 'professionals do professional things', this means that they can become officials if they can't pass the imperial examination, of course everyone is willing, so it was reversed all of a sudden."

"This will be an official?"

Guo Song smiled faintly: "I'm afraid they think too simply, but if they perform well enough in the future, they will indeed have the opportunity to become officials." ”

"Your Highness, there is still something to report for your humble position." Mengjiao Road.

"What's the matter?"

"Cui Hao, the assassin of Zhaozhou, sent his son to Chang'an to see His Highness, and they found their humble position through a twisting and turning relationship."

Guo Song suddenly became interested and asked, "Where are the others?" ”

"It seems to be at the Qinghe Inn in Feng'anfang."

Guo Song immediately instructed his soldiers: "Go to the Qinghe Inn in Feng'anfang and invite Cui Gongzi to the Jin Palace, go now!" ”
