The discussion of the tribute examination proceeded quickly, and under Guo Rong's resolution, in addition to retaining the Jinshi Changke, the imperial examination added three additional subjects:

One is virtuous, square, and can speak out;

the second is that the scriptures are excellent and profound, and can be used as a teacher;

The third is to educate and educate the idle officials.

There is no limit to the seniority, see the officer, the yellow coat grass, and promise the edict.

Guo Rong got up and said: "The country should take scholars, when it is not limited to the Central Plains, it should be edicted to the world, Xishu, Jiangnan, Lingnan, people of all nationalities can participate, we must find a way to send it quickly, so that more scholars know that next year's spring will be postponed by January, so that the scholars have enough time to hurry and prepare for the exam." ”

"No."

"The imperial examination should not be hasty, when it is solemn and important, in the future, every year the new and first jinshi and all the science and technology will be held by the Xuanhui North Academy."

"No."

Guo Rong said with a smile: "The liberal arts are so decided, and then we will discuss martial arts, this is the charter prepared by Zhang Qing, I asked you to copy a few copies, and Zhu Qing will take a look." ”

The eunuch Gan Pei held a stack of folds and distributed them in turn. The ministers each have a book, look at it carefully, Guo Rong holds the teacup, sipes it slowly, sits leisurely, and his eyes pass over the faces of everyone in the audience from time to time.

For a quarter of an hour, Wang Pu took the lead in closing the booklet, and after a while, Zhang Mei also finished reading it, Wei Renpu read it the most seriously, but he was the last to close the booklet.

"Let's talk about it, everybody."

On this occasion, it is natural to tout two sentences first and say some good things, but it was Dou Yi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who took the lead in firing the cannon, and he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Zhao's interference in the matter of the Ministry of Rites' Zhigongju, and said a few euphemistic and polite words, and a sentence of "but" immediately turned straight down.

"First with benevolence, then with strategy, then with military formations, supplemented by astronomy...... It can be said to be very complete, but I dare to ask Zhang Shangshu, how to get raw materials, and how many years do you have to learn? ”

Zhang Zhao put down the strip in his hand, and said slowly: "Among the children of this official eunuch, there are those who are good at learning from the country, and most of the martial arts families are brave and ruthless, but most of them are inherited from family learning, so, a certain intention, simply gather these people who like to dance with guns and sticks, open martial arts, teach them to be loyal to the king and love the people, and write military strategies. ”

As soon as these words came out, a slight whisper sounded.

"Well, if Dou Qing has any thoughts, just say it."

"Back to the saint, the minister thinks that Zhang Shangshu's idea is very good, but the specific implementation is a little difficult."

Dou Yi saw Guo Rong signaling to continue, so he said: "It is good to start a martial arts school and teach them to be loyal to the king and love the people, but the war strategy of the military book is a white religion. ”

Zhang Zhao worked hard for more than a year, and carefully wrote ten volumes of the military book and submitted it, only in exchange for Guo Rong's attention, his old face turned dark, and he asked, "Why?" ”

"Because the knowledge is beyond the ordinary martial arts, if you teach a group of people who are masters and talk about soldiers on paper, it will really bring disaster to the country and the people, it is better to only teach them the method of marching in formation, the method of fighting, and the art of scout spying, so that in the future, the decentralization of the army can immediately play a role."

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Wei Renpu saw that Zhang Zhao's face was black and terrifying, and said: "You still have to learn the war strategy of the military book, but the order can be reversed, starting with martial arts and military formations, and then teaching them according to their aptitude, and teaching them with strategies for those who are talented, one or two out of a hundred people are enough." ”

Guo Rong nodded and said: "Zhang Qing's article is very detailed, and the two of them are also seeking the country, both of which are very good, but I feel that five years is too long, I am only seizing the day, the war situation in Huainan is still stalemate, and Northern Liao is even more troublesome, is there a way to achieve it quickly?"

I only ask for two points, one is strict military discipline, and the other is to fight bravely, first to get through the current difficulties, and then talk about it, the children of the generals, as well as the excellent sons of good families, can teach slowly in the future, as a backup. ”

Wang Pu said: "In this case, the minister suggested that it be divided into two classes, one class is fast, with a period of half a year, and one class is normal, with a period of three years. ”

Wang Pu said with a smile: "Wang Xiang said this, the minister remembered, on the law of the military formation, the military discipline is clear, it is better than the King of Wei, it is better to concentrate on the excellent children to teach literature lessons, and then let them go to the famous to study, the land east of the river into the autumn and winter, there will be Liao people to the south to plunder, just to teach the war with war, so half a year, is a mule is a horse, and it is almost slipped." ”

Guo Rong was overjoyed and said: "What the two Wang Qing said is very good, just handle it according to this, Zhang Qing worked hard, divided into two classes, the group of boys who passed through the battle formation set up a class, and the other children set up another class, as for the study tour, it can also be divided into one more road, the northwest road is also the top priority, and the old Wang Jingzhibing also has a strategy, which can be staggered to study. ”

Zhang Zhao hurriedly got up and obeyed.

Guo Rong took a sip of tea and said, "The third thing is Yanzheng, I mean ......"

Wang Pu interrupted Guo Rong's words in an unruly manner, and said with a smile: "Holy Lord, it's time to eat, the minister's stomach is growling." ”

Guo Rong turned his head to take a look, and when he saw Wang Pu's eyes flickering, he smiled and said: "It's me confused, Wang Qing reminded me right, pass the meal, ah, Li Xiangji, Gan Pei, let the imperial dining room arrange porridge and side dishes." ”

Li Gu stood up with a smile, "Thank you to the Holy Lord, in fact, the ministers are not happy without meat, but unfortunately this wind is really harmful, so let the ministers eat elsewhere to avoid slander." ”

Guo Rong said with a smile: "Then go to the queen's palace with me, she is also taboo." After that, he motioned to the little eunuch to help.

After a while, the eunuch held the food box and sent it up, and after the ministers finished eating, Guo Rong came out, saying that his body was a little tired, and the matter of salt administration could be discussed later.

Everyone looked at each other and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Loosening the ban on private salt management, although it is to benefit the people, but I don't know how many people's financial routes will be cut off, and the national treasury does not know how much less tax revenue, although the idea is good, but who dares to take responsibility for the implementation.

……

Jiayin finally knew why the lance was on the verge of extinction.

The difficulty of making a lance is only one of the aspects, and more importantly, this thing is too difficult to practice, although it is strong in inches, but after exceeding a certain length, every point in length, it is clumsy for three points.

Within a dozen numbers, if you use a knife yourself, you can split twenty-three knives, but with this long bamboo pole, even ten stabs are reluctant, and the lance method, although there are eighteen moves, but in fact, there is only a three-word trick to stop and tie, which is almost the same as a big gun, the difference is that the lance is nearly half long, and the difficulty has increased many times.

Therefore, a master like Wang Yanzhang will not use a lance anymore after practicing the big gun, obviously giving up the hegemonic advantage of the long lance and hitting the distance with a long lance, and making up for it with agility and speed.

Jia Yin has practiced for ten days with Lao An, and there are only eighteen moves to come and go, and the techniques have been fully understood, the tricks of power, and the methods of hitting the enemy have also been understood, but there are still three major regrets.

Lao An'an is seventy-nine years old, he joined the army at the age of fourteen, Li Cunxiao accepted him as a personal guard, gave him the surname An, and passed on his lance method, but unfortunately he couldn't use some subtleties, he could only dictate, Jiayin couldn't understand the law for a while, so he had to memorize it firmly in order to slowly comprehend it in the future.

The second regret is that there is no lance to practice, so I can only replace it with a bamboo pole.

The third is a real regret, Lao An'an since he witnessed Li Cunxiao being divided into five bulls, his spirit has been greatly stimulated, and he is crazy for nearly a Jiazi, so he teaches the lance to be sober and sometimes muddy, and then, I don't know if it was the sunset after the water hurt his body, or the church Jiayin released his heartstrings after the lance, this morning, Jiayin found that he had been permanently sleeping.

Jia Yin touched his dry and cold hands, slowly squatted down, outside the door, the duck rattle, extremely urgent, as if to see off the old man.
