Chapter 961: Good and Evil
From the moment Fan Zhongyan announced his decree to Yang Huaiyu, the Great Song Dynasty officially began to rule by force on Ningxia Road, and any party members who dared to go against the will of the Great Song Dynasty and refused to obey the edict would be attacked by the Great Song Dynasty.
If there are those who surrender and submit, the Great Song Dynasty can still accept it, otherwise there will be no exception to the slaughter of the clan.
The land of Ningxia is plunged into turmoil and carnage, and this darkest period will also herald the arrival of light. "Sums up the status quo.
He and Yang Huaiyu both knew that this holy decree was not only a handwritten letter from the officials, but also the result of the efforts of the important ministers of the court and all stakeholders.
The Great Song Dynasty has dragged on for too long in the matter of Western Xia, and I don't know how many people are waiting to enjoy this great meal in Ningxia, and now the Great Song Dynasty uses the most violent means to deal with the last flaws before the "table".
With the beginning of the war, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty moved when they heard the wind and carried a large number of goods into the various state capitals on Ningxia Road.
Zhao Zhen took a two-pronged approach, while arranging the internal relocation of the party members, on the other hand, he had already begun to mobilize the victims of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people began to move to Ningxia, where the land is fertile, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is safe to screen after the Great Song Dynasty......
This makes many people excited, even if the money and food subsidized by the imperial court are scarce, there are also a large number of people who want to go, and it is not so important to leave the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty, and of course everyone pursues a better life......
There are always those who can't survive, there is no shortage of people, and when the van army that was dismissed arrived on Jinghu Road, it was also a barren land, but now...... Who doesn't have ten acres of land at home? I also got the care of the official family, and the subsidy of two yuan in the summer and autumn every year, although it is not much, the net income can be used to deduct taxes, so that it is calculated, two taxes a year is not enough!
Not to mention the people who followed the official family all the way from Tokyo City to Beiping Mansion, even if their roots were in Kaifeng Mansion? Didn't you go to Peking Mansion in the end?
The old man's words are always right, the tree is dead, and the man is alive! Otherwise, why did those merchants go to Ningxia with so many goods, not only because of the return of Ningxia and the migration of the people, but also because this is the old road of silk!
Anyone with a little insight knows that there will only be more and more businessmen going to Ningxia in the future!
This kind of opportunity is a good thing for the people of the Great Song Dynasty and those affected by the disaster, but not many people pay attention to the people of Beijing, who like to talk about current affairs the most......
But no one has asked anymore in the past few days, and the imperial examination on the eighth day of February is the hottest topic now, and everyone is concerned about this year's Gewu being included in the Jinshi department.
Almost all the readers are holding the "Gewu Enlightenment" that will be the supervisor and carefully studying, no way, who knows what question this year's main exam, Master Ouyang, will make? And there was a rumor early on, this Hanlin bachelor is extremely disgusted with the style of learning, except for the students who are too learning, everyone else has changed the style of writing.
The imperial examination is imminent, and the Jinshi Branch is even more popular among the hot, everyone knows that there is no Xianggong in the court who was not born in the Jinshi Branch, and even the three divisions and the ministers Bao Zheng are all on the Jinshi Rank, who does not go to the Jinshi Branch, but there are also some people who go to the Gewu Branch.
In previous years, the Gewu Department was opened by the Son of Heaven, and this year it was returned to the Ministry of Rites, which changed from the system to a regular department, and the official price of the Gewu official was high, and the money was more, and the official body could be valued by the official, and it was no less than Yuelongmen for those who were generally learned.
And because the official family encouraged officials to set up academies, the number of people participating in the imperial examination this year suddenly exceeded that of previous years, reaching tens of thousands, and the examination room for the imperial examination was not enough to be accommodated, so the official family issued an order to requisition the largest arena in the city.
On the eighth day of the first month of February, quite an auspicious day, all the students in Beijing rushed to the arena in the city with the name of participating in the imperial examination, this place is really suitable, the candidates sit in the original audience seats, this can accommodate tens of thousands of people The venue is completely sufficient, and there are special tables, chairs and benches.
It's just that the wind is a little stronger, and Ouyang Xiu ordered the people to pull up the curtain on the top, and it suddenly felt much better.
Everyone knows that the main examination of this imperial examination is Ouyang Xiu, who has a gentle personality, and he is meticulous in every small detail, but this year is also the most severe year for the invigilation, all the examination papers must be copied again, and even the handwriting can not be left.
At the same time, the attendants of the Imperial Medicine Academy are also the most accurate, loyal, and will never participate in the incomparable, they are equivalent to an insurance on Zhao Zhen's system.
Unlike previous years, this year's exam did not implement bathing and inspection, all candidates quickly entered the venue, put the exam first, and all the examiners patrolled the circular aisle extending in all directions in the examination room, because of the large number of people, the number of examiners also hit a new high in recent years.
After being found out by the examiner, their faces were pale, and their limbs fell to the ground weakly, because from this year onwards, all those who cheat have already made a name for themselves, and they will not be allowed to take the big test within ten years, and the scandal will be recorded in the household registration, and the black list will be posted outside the Donghua Gate.
The imperial examination of the Great Song Dynasty has never been so severe, which caught many people who were lucky off guard, but many more were glad that they did not cheat......
Zhao Zhen stood at the highest point of the arena, looking down at the students on the entire field, and his heart was excited.
Changing yourself, no, to be precise, should be perfect, strengthening the imperial examination system, making it more fair and scientific.
This is an important system for the sake of the country, and there can be no mistakes, let alone those who cheat, and anyone who dares to touch the forbidden area will be severely punished.
Leaping into the dragon gate, it is a huge temptation for anyone who participates in the imperial examination, Zhao Zhen saw with his own eyes that the students in the examination room copied the entrainment in their clothes, those who cheated are already a lesson from the past, but there are still people who turn a blind eye.
Angrily putting away the binoculars in his hand, Zhao Zhenjing frowned, and Ouyang Xiu on the side spoke: "Since the official family hates students cheating, why don't they bathe and check every student before the exam?" ”
Zhao Zhen shook his head slightly: "I just don't want to use evil to test good...... If you insult all these readers, how many people will forget the humiliation of these readers? Have you ever encountered it back then? Have you ever been relieved? ”
Ouyang Xiu was speechless for a while, and finally said, "According to Your Majesty's ......"
Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "You, Uncle Ouyang Yong, are the main examiners, what do you ask me for?" ”
