Chapter 160: Outside the Examination Room

Ahn Jae-wook's departure was due to the participation of multiple factors. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

First, as the exam approaches, those scholars are becoming more and more immersed in the preparation for the exam, after all, those exam questions, although they are not detached from traditional Chinese knowledge, but for the scholars who read dead books to death, this is also a new topic.

After all, many scholars are the real Kong Yiji type, and the way to write back to the characters must be ordinary, the books they have read all their lives, and they only read those books for the imperial examination, and they have long been stupid.

And the new-style reminders prepared by the elders are enough for these talents to drink a pot, because at the beginning of the fight, the elders did not expect that among these talents, how many talents in governing the country were found, and after finding people, they would start training again, which was the main topic, but fortunately, in this era, the imperial examination, officials who already had a certain level of ranking, relied on the group of the Hanlin Academy for exercise.

After all, if you don't study for three days, you will not be able to grasp two studies and one well, you will fall behind and make mistakes.

Looking at their passion every day, no matter what, An Zaixu always felt that there was something in his heart, and it was uncomfortable to watch, he was like a fire wrapped in a jar, wanting to explode but not daring, so he himself still hoped to go south as soon as possible to fulfill his position as the master of Aoki Hall's incense.

And Wang Jian's side also hopes that the situation can be opened as soon as possible, as someone said, they are not afraid of the rebellion of the gentry and Confucian students, but they are afraid that these people will make trouble behind their backs, and people will surrender on the surface, send money and treasure to women, as the saying goes, don't beat the gift giver, otherwise who will surrender to you in the future?

Not to mention, the accumulation of wealth in Jiangnan for hundreds of years, due to the incompetence of the government's ability to collect taxes, led to the loss of the wealth adjustment ability of taxation, although it is a great sorrow for the Ming Dynasty, but for Li Xiangqian and others, although there is the future wealth of Australia, Japan, South Africa, California and other places of huge rich gold mines, but after all, it is very unreliable, and too much excessive influx of gold will inevitably cause gold depreciation and inflationTherefore, these salt merchants, grain merchants, and silk merchants, who originally occupied a large amount of wealth but were of no benefit to Chinese society, could not use their funds for industrial upgrading.

Then, finding out some "opposition" to kill pigs and subsidize income in it is simply the most politically correct thing, and Wang Jian took advantage of Zhao Jiaren's process of rectifying people, mixing some private goods in it, in fact, it is nothing, An Zaixu himself is very motivated to run around.

In the country of the official position, the official position means everything, or almost everything, you can't deny it, but these people are very desperate.

In some cases, it is actually not bad, at least it depends on their own ability, and the exam is the first, which is already a good permissible rule for human society after all.

"Daming's original examination was held in three sessions, one in three days, that is to say, in theory, it is a terrible nine tests, which is simply a marathon race, in view of this, the exam is still chosen to end in two days, compared to the original college entrance examination or civil service examination, it is too easy."

Wu Ming is very excited and leisurely, busy for half a year, now, the candidates have finally entered, the location is still in the original imperial capital Gongyuan, although the examination rules, there is no admission ticket or 2B pencil answer sheet, basically still using brush words to write, however, the answer sheet is also standard.

Wu Ming is destined to leave a name in the history of human culture, at least the name of the founder of the "new civil service examination system" is up, and it is with the Dream of Red Mansions, with a lot of new cultural halo, although his level cannot be compared with the originators of vernacular literature, but all the way to trot, it can be regarded as famous.

Especially in the organ newspaper of the Presbyterian Church, Guangming ribao, as a Zen position that inherited the political structure of the Ming Dynasty and was basically recognized, the meaning of brightness is very interesting, you can understand that the meaning of the sky is very bright, and it can also be understood that the presbyterian church is doing things in a bright and frank way, but it can also be said that it means inheriting the meaning of the Ming Dynasty's will.

Therefore, this bright ribao, the front-page headline commentator's article, it is impossible for him to monopolize the power, this is basically equivalent to the highest point of public opinion, and the rest can not be controlled, and the final result of the game, the Presbyterian Council has a common vest: Liang Xiao, set this up as a benchmark for the public opinion propaganda of the Presbyterian Church, you can usually talk nonsense, but when it comes to the need to start the state machine to do things, Liang Xiao is about to exert his authority, the so-called tabloids copy the big newspapers, and the big newspapers copy Liang Xiao, which is not so simple.

Before, from not to mention unpredictable, to our attitude is consistent, unbearable, Wu Ming's pride is not to mention, for Wu Ming, the pursuit of money is impossible to raise the spirit, after all, the spacecraft is constantly looking for conscripts to go to Australia to dig for gold, the gold is all publicly owned, a lump there, after thinking about it, no one cares.

This is almost driving in a small area**, the so-called**, naturally means that the means of production are extremely rich, which is not a problem for the Presbyterian Church, especially in the basic control of northern China, in fact, arming a few northern provinces is enough time to annex the whole world, basically no one cares about any money, and power or women cannot be too exciting for a person who has already been in hand.

On the contrary, fame, prestige, this thing for ordinary Chinese, the attraction is absolutely huge.

"The exam is different, the civil servants of later generations, in 2 hours, complete a hundred multiple-choice questions, or one or two thousand words of composition, itself is an extremely test of people's agile thinking, this is also very normal, the civil servants who need to be used, what needs to be studied is the rapid response in special circumstances, you can't wait for your subordinates to ask you, boss, there are little hooligans over there to cut people, do I go to arrest them now, or wait until they finish cutting and then clean up the mess?"

Liang Cunhou seemed to be in a good mood, it was noon at this time, and after a day of tossing by the indigenous officials of the new time and space, under many ceremonies, the so-called Enke that was carried out in order to win people's hearts this year was regarded as the beginning.

Wu Ming nodded and said, "Mr. Liang, do you want to go in and have a look." ”

Liang Cunhou seemed a little surprised, and said, "What am I going to do?" ”

Wu Ming said: "It is more or less a role of friendship, after all, among these people, we have to screen out enough officials, at least in the early stage, if we have no other people available, we can only use them." ”

Liang Cunhou raised his head and said: "I heard that these people are all hungry hungry ducks, once they really appoint any fat difference, they will not think about what loyalty to the country, but spend money first." ”

Wu Ming smiled embarrassedly, but he couldn't say anything wrong about this, and said: "Three thousand seven hundred people, there are always a few who are not greedy, find out, that is, when arresting people, you have to be ruthless, aren't there still those treasury officials who are tortured to recover stolen goods, and the eight imperial merchants, when the interrogation is almost over, it is estimated that this group of people has also been trained, just before taking up their posts, kill people in front of them, even if they can't do it, they can scare and scare." ”

Even if there are some feelings of the literati, his P shares will always be on the side of the elders, after understanding that they have come to a **daily, not corrupt but alternative Ming era, Wu Ming knew that if he wants to rectify the rule of officials, he has to see blood, fortunately, with the help of various monitoring equipment, with the help of various metal detectors, it is almost impossible to conceal property.

When Liang Cunhou heard this, he suddenly sighed with emotion and said, "Three thousand seven hundred." ”

"Ah, yes."

Wu Ming sighed with emotion and said: "Although only a few northern provinces have come, and many northern provinces have already fled and scattered, however, even if it is relaxed to the level of Xiucai, it is not easy to come so many people, and we also have the little prince as a signboard, and people do recognize it." ”

Liang Cunhou said: "I know, but I am sighing, in history, there are almost so many people in Dorgon." ”

Wu Ming said: "Dolgon's imperial examination, less than 2,000, but the examination will start in three years, in fact, it is almost the same in essence, it is all related to the asymmetry of the moral quality of the Ming literati and the offerings they receive. ”

Liang Cunhou said slowly: "Take your time, find a time, well, first give Li Zicheng a memorial service for the group of people who committed suicide and martyrdom when he entered the city, although he can't promote extremist thoughts, but patriotism is always right." ”

Wu Ming said: "Speaking of which, in the past few days, that John Tang has been looking for me, hoping to give him funds to build his church, which is also a joke. ”

Liang Cunhou said slowly: "The real value of John Tang lies in the contact with Europe, as well as the change of customs, to give those who play feudal superstition fortune-telling and feng shui a competition, so that they will only make noise every day, in the end, people also run out under the banner of idealism, I don't know how many times stronger than those spiritual living Buddha Rinpoche who practiced Huanxi Zen." ”

Wu Ming said: "In fact, the literacy books we have published have explanations on how to crack those feudal superstitions. ”

Liang Cunhou said: "This is not an isolated incident, it is also the case in the 21st century, the most watched programs are all kinds of programs that treat the audience as three-year-old children, which is normal." ”

Wu Ming sighed and said: "Anyway, we held that conference before, what to say, to encourage the masses to go overseas to make a fortune, but at least, I don't know how to start, if we improve the living standards of the people like this, they are even more reluctant to go out and take risks." ”

"Hmm."

In any case, this is a problem, Liang Cunhou thought for a while, and said: "It's a bit far away, wait for you to pay attention, their exams, this lunch, and afternoon refreshments and drinking water, are all provided by us, and the exam will be held until the evening, don't starve them, and in the end, we still have to let them remember that it is the elders who will give them food, not a teacher, An Lan and those officials of the new time and space are hard to believe, it is best to break them up as much as possible, do you remember, how they are connected in this era." ”

"Well, in the same year, the same family, the same township, the so-called same year, is the same year that the people who passed the imperial examination, they used some strange sorting method to distinguish the size of the high, and so they connected."

Liang Cunhou said: "How many people do you estimate you can admit?" ”

This is a very knowledgeable question.

The so-called imperial examination, looking for talents is still one of them, and the idea of imprisoning people is not considered, the key is that the bottom people are given a head to run upward, people say that the calculation of the input-output ratio, once it is calculated, let the son go to the exam, the benefits obtained are greater than the benefits of raising thugs and private soldiers to plan a rebellion, that is naturally not daring to do against the government, and once you want to go to the exam, then on the surface you can't be too off-knot, at least you can't go too far.

Therefore, for all dynasties, they have paid attention to balance, and they can't wait for the scholars who have been admitted in various places according to the proportion of the population, which is convenient, however, due to some reasons, the "high-scored" talents have always been the highest in the southeast and the second level in the Central Plains, so that in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, there was a matter of the north and south lists, that is, when the final admission was made, the proportion must be guaranteed.

It can be seen that the imperial examination is not only an academic issue, but a matter of political balance, and if you admit more, you can win the hearts of the people, but if there are too many, there will be indiscriminate stupid people, and it will also reduce the gold content and cherishment of the "compilation" of the golden rice bowl, so it cannot be despised lightly.

Wu Ming thought about it carefully and said: "In history, Dolgon's imperial examination, there were less than 2,000 people, but 400 people were taken as officials, and there were a batch of additional records afterwards, which can be said to be all in one net, more than one-third of them became officials, and the rest are estimated to be stupid people who are really useless, and my words, in fact, I want people who are younger and can accept new things." ”

"In fact, it has nothing to do with test scores, these people are adults, their thoughts and feelings have long been fixed, and their ideology is almost impossible to change...... Well, what's that? ”

Suddenly, a man came running from a distance, who seemed to be disheveled, with a disheveled head, barely wearing shoes, holding some stationery, just came in, and went straight to this tribute courtyard, and naturally a soldier stood up to stop him, and the man shouted there, speaking very urgently, and seemed to be very excited.

Liang Cunhou and Wu Ming have been chatting in a low-key manner, and they don't care about things outside, but they still attract their attention.

Liang Cunhou said: "There seems to be something. ”

Wu Ming looked at it and said, "I seem to have seen this drama somewhere." ”

Liang Cunhou smiled slightly and said, "I seem to have seen it somewhere." ”

Wu Ming suddenly said loudly: "You guys, let that scholar come over." "Just look at the dress, it should be a candidate from other places, it looks like the padded jacket is a little old, but it's still neat, but this dress is not good to wear and come to the exam, in the end, the attraction of this official position is too great, and this person is too unsophisticated.

Wu Ming glanced at Liang Cunhou and whispered, "I hope it's not what I guessed." ”

Liang Cunhou said: "Actually, turning bad things into good things is the fine style of a ruling team, and I think this is very good, if it is really what I guessed." ”
