Of course, the bone broth is full of calcium, which is naturally an absolute pseudoscience, and what it contains is just that people enjoy the delicious food and make excuses for themselves, of course, the pigeon soup is delicious, and Bao Gonggong can be regarded as completing the second task of the day.

"Do you have any dealings with the Westerners in Macao?"

"No, it's a group of mercenary and untrustworthy businessmen, although they keep coming to the door to ask for a meeting, but I just have to deal with it and send it away."

Bao Gonggong nodded, at this time, the Europeans, has not yet shown their most terrible place, in fact, he doesn't know what is powerful, at least Bao Gonggong took a turn outside Macau, well, at this time Macau is still under the direct management of my Ming Dynasty, but those Portuguese-style buildings are not bizarre, and those European sailors can't say how advanced they are.

Although I don't understand why the ancestors of later generations of Europeans are so dilapidated today, Bao Gonggong also understood one thing, hoping to let the Chinese of this era, or the relatively advanced Chinese, look at these guys who seem to be a little down, sitting on badly worn and tattered big ships, disheveled, and unfavorable in their words, what is advanced, it is really difficult for some strong people.

In particular, Europe, which has begun an upward period, cannot be said to be too advanced in nature.

"It's a few things, I'll take a word, first of all, the imperial capital sent a mission to Europa, the first batch of travelogues sent back, has been sorted out, is preparing to publish the world, when the time comes, I will invite a few people in Guangdong to study, county school, etc. to sell it, and other things, my emperor is going to open a new imperial examination, although all the rules have to be changed, but in general, there is still a writing test, by the way, you have to abolish the eight shares, there is no psychological burden."

"No, no."

"In fact, most of the people in Wang Xuemen are talking about the disadvantages of Baguwen, but there have been several first assistants, and they can't find a suitable way to improve, so they can only give up."

"Wang Xue?"

Father-in-law Bao naturally didn't understand what it meant, but he still didn't move, listening to the introduction or something.

Listening to what Ye Guotai and a few others said, the people of the Ming Dynasty have always understood very well that the eight-strand text, except for writing some flat and stable words, is of no great use for governing the soldiers, in fact, it is not very useful to write a strategy.

But there are some things that Bao Gonggong can still understand.

Writing Baguwen, of course, can only find a group of useless people who can only chew words, but this kind of person at least understands the official documents, understands the spirit, and the most important thing is how to find a fair and cheap way to select a group of people to preside over government affairs.

Those who want to win win in the open, in previous years, what is the head of the previous case, Xie Yuan, champion of the article, often published, is used as the content of the explanation, as a major industrial chain of the Ming Dynasty, the efficiency of the imperial examination teaching and auxiliary publishing industry is amazing, and these articles are indeed convincing, at least the loser has to admit that it is insufficient, this is where the conditions lie.

There are still a lot of problems here, and there are many problems, at least for Bao's father-in-law, it is also a novel world, and he has never thought about these problems: how to let very poor people get a lot of knowledge at a very low cost? When I met the standards of the exam, I thought that under the so-called quality education, the admission conditions included equestrianism, piano, and volunteering in Africa, and the children from ordinary poor backgrounds would have no chance of progress.

The purpose of the imperial examination system is, first of all, to establish a bond of interests throughout the country and stabilize people's hearts, which can be said to be known to many people, but if you make the threshold too high, it will be a bit excessive.

An outstanding talent, in fact, is already quite a remarkable figure, he basically has an understanding of the imperial examination, an ordinary family, send children to the private school he opened, as long as they are serious about learning, but to buy the four books and the five classics, in fact, the children of poor families are generally copying books, and passing on teaching and auxiliary materials to each other is a proof of true friends.

So, the most important thing is not to be too expensive.

Bao Gonggong thought about it carefully, some people say that poor science and engineering are rich in humanities, but they are talking about people from ordinary families, who prefer to study science and engineering and are easy to find jobs, while the children of rich people prefer to study humanities and do not like to make themselves dirty in laboratories and factories.

The children of the rich do not worry about finding a job, but science and engineering are doing things, and the cost difference is also amazing, science and engineering, reading formulas, reading codes, talking about equations, these are just those things in books, although experiments are done, but the laboratory is always burdened by the state.

Of course, ordinary humanities are nothing more than reading books, but in fact, there are many things that fool people.

Father-in-law Bao never thought that he went to the science and engineering university he went to, and he had been studying for a master's degree in civil engineering at the university, and then started his own work.

Ye Guotai didn't notice anything, but continued: "I have been a school inspector in previous years, and I have also sentenced several papers, so I am naturally very clear about these...... An exam has thousands of papers, but the number of examiners cannot be too many, and a test paper can often only be judged by a few breaths, so if you want to judge well, you must be simple and clear, and there can be no white horse and dark horse thing. ”

Father-in-law Bao understands this, how to say that he is also the master of countless civil service exams, in fact, he can be a person who can be sent to work on aliens, and his quality cannot be too bad, but his heart will not let him take the too remote cold yamen, he is a little brain to run up, otherwise, staring at the kind of post with insufficient number of reporters to take the exam, there will always be a moment in the exam.

Regarding the arrangement of the content of the exam, Bao Gonggong also knows that there will never be anything that cannot be discerned, and it is like the phenomenon that in the debate competition, both pros and cons make sense, so those who lose the imperial examination are afraid that they will not be convinced.

Later generations will not have this problem at all, it is nothing more than to give you a practical example of society, so that you can analyze it, look at your grammar, as well as ideology, way of thinking, and take the opportunity to study, as for the main examination multiple-choice questions are naturally not controversial.

Bao Gonggong said: "You can also take a look, as far as I know, the passenger ferry from Tianjin to Shanghai has been opened, at first it is a trip every ten days, and in the future, with the increase in the number of round-trips, it will definitely be overtime, and then it will be opened in the future, naturally someone will find a way to drive to Guangzhou, do you say yes." ”

This made Ye Guotai and the others a little unnatural.

As a person from a "hostile" force, it is indeed not difficult to imagine that he came to Guangzhou, but who is not running in secret? But at this time, no one can imagine what the meaning of this kind of "flight" is.

In Chinese history, as a land power, there are few large-scale naval operations, which can be counted, but the burning of Chibi in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is still fake, in addition, the Tang Dynasty exterminated the Goguryeo people, and conquered the three countries of the peninsula, and also had the experience of the navy in Shandong, and in this dynasty, the Poyang Lake battle between Emperor Taizu and Chen Youliang is naturally every reader in the system must recite and read aloud, and always remember the main theme of the ancestors' difficult entrepreneurship.

Of course, as a local parent official in Guangdong, there were still annoying pirates in Guangdong ten years ago, although Zheng Zhilong, another group of pirates recruited, was wiped out, but no one dared to take it lightly, the threshold of pirates in this era is too low, so people can't guard against it, of course, pirates can't really hurt the lives of these officials.

However, in the Great Song Dynasty, the little emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was forced to live in exile at sea, and finally Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the little emperor in his arms, and Wen Tianxiang crossed Ding Yang, but it was something that happened in Guangdong.

said that it was a passenger boat, but if there was a real one in the middle of the fake, and the troops were transported, then no one could stand it.

Bao Gonggong said lightly: "This is all a trivial matter, nothing more than the businessmen's own business, well, by the way, where did I just go, by the way, the exam, a few months ago, the people of the Enke examination basically arranged work, but the number is still not enough, at the beginning of the next year, we are going to arrange another imperial examination, if necessary, Guangdong is willing to participate, it is also possible." ”

Ye Guotai was a little embarrassed, we are still under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, you let our students participate in the imperial examination of anti-thieves, this is bullying people, but the news from the governor still has to deal with these anti-thieves, these perverse guys will definitely be self-defeating, and the most important thing is to ask them what they are thinking about Guangdong, and what they are going to do in Vietnam, as a magistrate, he knows that Guangdong does not know how many farmers who have lost their land, and craftsmen have been tricked into going to Vietnam.

Ye Guotai said slowly: "I heard that the lord said that he returned from Vietnam on a business trip, I don't know, the imperial capital suddenly has something to do in Vietnam, what does it mean?" I'll wait for that. ”

Father-in-law Bao smiled and said, "You should have a globe sold to us in Guangdong." ”

"Ah, that's heard."

"Of course, in essence, after Vietnam broke away from China, what we saw was that the civil war that almost did not stop, and the misery of life is not nonsense, as a father's country, you can't educate your son's country, so it's better to take back the land, and the direct administration is, at least, in the list of the imperial capital, Quang Nam Province is already officially a province on the register, and I won't hide this from you."

Even if what's the use of concealment?

However, Ye Guotai is a joy, in any case, he is still a Chinese, for the expansion of his country's territory, although he himself did not participate, but after all, many materials were purchased under his rule and transported to Vietnam, therefore, when he entered the Imperial Capital Party School ten years later, he kept writing such a resume into his own file: In the process of recovering the great land of Guangnan Province, I responded to the call of the organization in Guangzhou, actively prepared military supplies, and was anxious about what the front-line soldiers were anxious about, and thought about what the front-line soldiers thought......

Of course, if this expansion comes at the cost of his own political life, then he will not accompany him.

"What is the current situation? The Vietnamese are cunning by nature, untrustworthy and unrighteous, adults must not suffer. ”

Bao Gonggong smiled, the people in front of him didn't understand, at this time on the island of Hong Kong, there were already 3,000 troops were frantically repairing and resting, making the final preparations for entering Vietnam, in fact, everything has become a foregone conclusion, there will be no repetition, of course, the specific battle, by those conspirators to do it, on the surface, as an "unimportant" craftsman leader, he has already completed the task, back to the happy and peaceful imperial capital to enjoy life.

"It's nothing more than taking your time, at this point, we have sent a letter to Guangxi, so that they are ready to immigrate and fill the land of Vietnam, fortunately, now that the Zheng clan is in the civil war, and the southern Nguyen clan has entered the game again, I believe that after this war, the Vietnamese people will understand that the only outcome of letting these thieves rule Vietnam is a hundred years of continuous war, and the people are displaced, so it is still necessary to return to the rule of the Central Plains."

As the only regime in the world that follows the mass line, the elders instilled in the people their political correctness, as well as the source of legal unity and legitimacy of the regime, and the Vietnamese people really abhorred the constant fighting.

With the civil war in Vietnam provoked from Zheng Zhun to start the war within the Zheng family, the Nguyen family also joined, it can be said that the entire land of Vietnam has been burned with war, and all social order is moving towards chaos, that is to say, as long as there is a force that can stabilize the situation, then those who are willing to come out to make trouble have already made trouble once.

If you want to rule greatly, you must first cause chaos.

After the American Civil War, only 40 years later, the United States became the world's first economic power, and after another 30 years, the United States took over the scepter of world domination from the British.

The civil war will purge all those who do not know their brains, those who are vegetarians, and those who rely on their family backgrounds to mess around, and those who survive in the end are the most treacherous and cunning scoundrels, the most proficient masters of firearms, the most cool officials who can squeeze oil from stones, and the most heroic and warlike generals.

In essence, for example, the previous wars at the end of the Ming Dynasty mobilized all the villains who were hidden in a village, the most destructive and rebellious desires, and then after the change of dynasty, there were no rebels and troublemakers for a long time, and naturally the world was peaceful.

For the elders who want to rule Vietnam, there is nothing better than borrowing the hands of the original ruling class to purge these possible future thorns.

However, this kind of self-confidence makes Ye Guotai more and more concerned, and they are too confident, so what do they think of Guangdong? Could it be that they came here and asked them to do things with the big businessmen in Guangdong?

You must know that the person who helped them contact was the big pirate Zheng Zhilong who was next to him, and it was obvious that Zheng Zhilong, as a pirate, had completely surrendered to the north.
