When Su Qi heard this, he was suddenly stunned, his eyes turned red, and he seemed to be about to cry.

"Li Lingzhi is dizzy."

Qian Jin Mu Rongshan glanced at each other, no longer entangled, Mu Rongshan laughed, tried to ease up, and said: "Speaking of which, the location of Tianjin is good, and it will be developed in the future, although it may not become a municipality directly under the central government, but it is definitely a big city in the north. ”

Su Qi reluctantly smiled and said: "Thank you for the elder's kind words, the little old man has no other hope, even if he has a son, he hopes that he will have a chance, then he will die without regrets." ”

"Oh, how old is Ling Lang this year...... Suddenly Qian Jin asked more and said, "Have you ever gone to the imperial capital for the exam?" ”

Su Qi smiled, "The dog is still young, and he has never been a talent in the middle school, but he is just studying hard at home, but for the test questions of Enke in the previous time, I dare to ask, will the future scientific examinations be done like this?" ”

The two glanced at each other, Mu Rongshan was a little bolder, and said: "Originally, I shouldn't have said it, but old man, you asked, well, almost the imperial examination reform is like this." ”

Su Qi sighed and said: "These four books and five classics have a history of a hundred years, and they are abandoned like this, aren't you afraid that the world's scholars will be dissatisfied?" ”

Qian Jin recalled those pervasive public examination companies, overwhelming publicity, and endless exam questions, closed his eyes in pain, and said: "Basically, are we still afraid that they will hold the spirit card to make trouble, a few days ago, it is not ugly, the most important thing is that China has been in the past thousand years, and cultural reform has been carried out countless times, and during the Song Dynasty, every generation of Ming Xiang came to power, and he wanted to revise the imperial examination questions into the content that he thought was suitable, so I can't do it." ”

Su Qi felt embarrassed, others spoke softly, and after many disasters in the last days of the Ming Dynasty, now it can be said that he is in a foreign land, barely surviving, so he doesn't dare to say anything, but he feels ridiculous, can the matter of the Great Song Dynasty be compared with the Ming Dynasty, don't say anything else, that ......

But it seems that these big men are determined to exclude the classics that have been passed down for countless years from the imperial examination, at least as far as he knows, in Tianjin, although they say they don't want to, but there are many scholars who are very honest in body, at least the content of the imperial examination is not out of the scope of traditional Chinese knowledge, and it is not an execution ground, just an exam.

However, this means that no one reads the Four Books and the Five Classics.

Su Qi was a little in a dilemma, but remembering that after all, he was also a heirloom of poetry and books, so he still mustered up his courage and said: "However, the two elders, this new imperial examination is indeed mostly a study that has been applied to the world, which is understandable, and there are indeed many scholars who do not know the affairs, and the affairs should be completely handed over to the staff to take care of, and they will be deceived and lose their officials, which makes people laugh, but in this way, they will lose a great benefit of this imperial examination." ”

"Ah, what kind of benefits, can there be benefits in the imperial examination?"

The public examination of later generations is scum, the content of the exam is classified, even AK47 is what kind of gun are tested, although it is dull, but it is absolutely impossible to have any tragic scene of reading dead books and reading dead books, most of the knowledge can exercise a person's thinking, even if it is repeatedly failed in the exam, scolding the examiner and the person who made the question, it can only be said that there is nothing wrong with the question.

Su Qi was a little embarrassed and said: "Originally, Tang Taizong said that the heroes of the world are in the middle of the world, which is a bit biased, but since then, for thousands of years, on the land of the Celestial Empire, there are always people who study poetry and books hard, regardless of the north and south of the world, and even people of different races, even if they don't understand the dialect, they can also read poetry and books, this is the credit of the imperial examination, it can be seen that although the scholars also have the problem of not understanding the world, but the flaws are not concealed, if the imperial examination does not take the four books and five classics, how to unite people's hearts. ”

Mu Rongshan suddenly turned his head and said to Qian Jin: "Yes, it sounds very reasonable, people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead." ”

Qian Jin smiled awkwardly and said, "Could it be that if this poetry book is not examined, no one will really read it." ”

Su looked discouraged for a while and said, "It can be said that it is difficult. ”

Qian Jin thought of Ma Zhe who was thrown away after the exam, and he didn't make a sound, this doesn't seem to be managed by the government, this is human nature.

In fact, all eras are similar.

Qian Jin said: "I deeply agree with this, in the imperial capital, the sales volume is the highest, and the good things that are really used in the world are rarely bought." ”

Su Qi said: "This point is also a problem for my Ming scholars, but unfortunately, the old man doesn't know how to solve it." ”

Qian Jin smiled and said, "Then solve it slowly, there will always be a way." ”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps from outside, the sound was not small, it seemed that the boots deliberately made a sound on the ground, and the person walking seemed very intimate, which was using footsteps to tell others that he was coming, but the sound was not loud, and it would not make a noise.

A person walked in, looking at the dress is also rich and noble, but he is very good at saluting, and said: "Su County Cheng, the county magistrate knows that you have a guest, so he asked if he needs to use the flower hall for dinner...... These two guests. ”

Su Qi looked at the two of them and said, "It's Master Zhang, well, the two, since the county order is invited, it's better to go before, anyway, the county government here, although it is all coarse tea and light rice, it is also better to be clean." ”

Qian Jin nodded, he naturally knew that in the past half a day, he kept asking people of all sizes in the county office, from the clerk's office to the old man who was guarding the door, of course, the questions were trivial, a few people in the family, a few acres of land per capita, a few cows in the field, and a few bear children.

Of course, although these things are, but carefully inquired, but also obtained a lot of first-hand dry goods, although the formulation of wage guidelines, or to look at the market price benchmark, such as how much rice is a pound and so on, but how to give the standard of living, also to see.

Mu Rongshan watched the master go to arrange the meal, and nodded, don't eat for nothing, don't eat for nothing, try to see the hospitality of this pure ancient county master, so he said: "Speaking of which, the people in this county ya, the population of the family is too much, you see how old the old servant is, so why don't they go to ...... if they have a big family to feed."

Why don't you go to work, I just thought about it, and then I remembered that Tianjin Wei really doesn't have much work to do, at least before the start of various basic factories, there is really nothing.

After thinking about it, he said: "Without the tertiary industry, it is impossible to attract young people to work, which is difficult." ”

He smiled and said, "Why don't you go and meet the county magistrate." ”

Qian Jin smiled, and estimated that this county official was also very suspicious of them.

Although Su Qi couldn't understand most of the words of these two elders, but after careful comparison, the tertiary industry, naturally, what are the first and second, and what does the tertiary industry mean to absorb young people to work?

As the county governor of Tianjin Wei, he has been in contact with a few elders who came to the construction, although the elders are all kinds of weird "new words" in their mouths, but if these words are carefully thought about, there is nothing too difficult to understand.

That's interesting.

Different from Qianqian and Mu Rongshan's imagination, Tianjin Wei's county order is very young, about the same age as a recent college graduate.

He politely invited the two to sit down, introduced himself, and asked about the identities of the two of them, although he already knew a little better, after all, for them in the industry, observing words and emotions is a basic skill.

"Oh, my brother is actually a Jinshi in the year before last, and it is really an honor to have this envoy from Tianjin."

I have to say that for Mu Rongshan, the big officials in the court have seen a lot, due to the situation in the imperial capital, most of them are old men, this is the first time he has seen such a young man.

"Students only get the right occasional success, it's just the merit of the first emperor."

Mu Rongshan smiled and said: "According to 100 million people in the big tomorrow, half of the women who have no chance will only have the opportunity to be Jinshi every three years, this is not a simple matter, this is the proportion of one person selected among 250,000 people, it is definitely not easy to do, that is to say, Brother Fan is the first time to take the exam, and he has to win?" ”

Fan Yi suddenly sighed and said: "It's a pity, it's only been a few days since I took office, and something big happened in the imperial capital, and Tianjin is weak and weak, so I really can't protect the first emperor." ”

"Hehe, the aftermath of the first emperor, we have arranged it well, and it can be regarded as worthy of his hard work for more than ten years, so Brother Fan has been here for more than a year and knows something about the local area?"

Fan Yi said: "It was still a little strange at first, but fortunately, there were a few capable people to help later, and it naturally came naturally." ”

Qian Jin said: "Master? ”

Fan Yi smiled and said, "Naturally, is there anyone else?" ”

Qian Jin said: "I heard that most of the masters in this master are from Shaoxing, is there such a particular one." ”

Fan Yi said: "Yes, there are many people in Shaoxing who are masters here. ”

Qian Jin turned his head to Mu Rongshan and said: "In a typical acquaintance society, the ability to monopolize a certain industry through the township party is so high. ”

Fan Yizheng was puzzled, and heard this mysterious man from the imperial capital say: "Can you invite all your masters to come here to talk about it, it's not interesting, I just want to know some information." ”

Fan Yi is already a little sweaty, he is a young man, after winning the last imperial examination in Chongzhen the year before last, how can he have so much experience in dealing with affairs, he was well received by the local wealthy families, and came here in a daze to take over, originally he was also ambitious to do a career, but in this position, the people under him are still locals, and the result is all kinds of unpleasantness.

Of course, in the place where he can't see, those masters can naturally do things with their hands, but there are a lot of flowers and intestines in this, and these masters will not trouble him if they have anything, and after sharing the share that should be given to him, he naturally pretends not to know, and any attempt to cheer up his thoughts is directly held down by vested interests, in fact, for so many years, every few years to change officials, it is like this, passed down from generation to generation, these local heroes have long figured out the routines and thoughts of the government, naturally has a set of coping strategies.

First study your origin, generally poorer, are just break free from the poor roots, live out of the hungry duck, naturally try to feed the bold, naturally can instruct him to share a large amount of benefits to them, like literary talents, you can go to Jiangnan to buy a thin horse and chant poetry to admire the moon, like fame can spend money to hire people to send Wanmin umbrella, in short, there are many tricks.

Of course, there are also those county orders with high backgrounds, good brains, and big skills, and people are going straight to the goal of being governors, scholars, and auxiliaries, this kind of people can't afford to provoke us, but how can people stay at the bottom of your body for a long time, they are all gilded below, and they are promoted after brushing their qualifications.

You see, how well people cop with it.

Fan Yi belonged to the people who had just entered this whirlpool field, but he had not fallen into it deeply, and after thinking for a while, he naturally called people over.

Naturally, it was also a previous problem, and Qian Jin really came to investigate and study.

Because the small county of Tianjin is not big, Fan Yi has hired two masters around him, that is, a master of money and grain, and a master with a criminal name, one of the two is from Shaoxing, and the other is not far from Shaoxing, but it is naturally impossible for Fan Yi to hire two masters, and the "annual salary" of both of them is thirty taels of silver.

Qian Jin glanced at this person, and said in his heart that your annual salary is only this amount, and you really can't do it without corruption.

However, this is the reality of the Ming Dynasty, since it is a reality, you can only take your time, before coming here, he has specially studied, the so-called master system, the reason why it collapsed in Wanqing, in fact, the reason is very simple, a large number of specialized schools, the knowledge that was originally controlled by a small group, that is, money and food, bookkeeping, and criminal name knowledge can all be studied in various specialized schools, which directly eats the unique kung fu that originally belonged to these masters.

In my mind, I calculated that these two masters looked good and dressed well, and under the construction in the past six months, although it was impossible for them to work and make money, they were guarding a place full of money, and it was estimated that they would make a lot of money.

The master is the secretary, thinking of the various rumors about the x secrets in the future, he didn't dare to be careless, and said: "If you really say that, the life of all the friends is really not good, thirty taels of silver, or the war is in chaos, is the family okay." ”

The master looked at the appearance of the two of them, maybe in the past, there were still people who dared to pretend to be Jinyi Wei in the poor countryside, but the appearance of the two people in front of him really couldn't be disguised, they were really two elders, and when the elders came to them, they came to ask about their income first, which made these guys who were already ghosts even more scared.
