[For Brother Chenyan to become the leader of the Golden Alliance. 】

Until he walked to the Chongzheng Palace, Han Jiang was still thinking about the new genre that Han Gang had created.

I have to admit that after changing the name, when I think back to those questions, it feels different.

Without that sense of misalignment, although it is not a question, it can indeed judge the candidate's talent, vision and ability to respond.

But this so-called argument is not found in ancient times. It can only be said that there are similar articles.

Since it is a theory, it must be based on discussion and evaluation. In historical theory, there are articles that discuss historical changes such as "Treatise on the Six Kingdoms" and "Treatise on the Passage of Qin", as well as articles that discuss a specific event or a specific historical figure in history.

In addition to historical theories, there are also discussions on a certain article and sentence in the scriptures, as well as comments on real events—this is the case with many cantatas, especially the bullets of the imperial historians.

The events that let the argument be extended are all recent events of the current dynasty, but in the question, in addition to comments, Han Gang also asked candidates to give their own opinions on specific matters.

This is almost the exam question of the Ming Law Department, and the person taking the exam should make a judgment and write a judgment on several cases given in the question. It is also similar to the judgment in the written judgment after the release of the brown, and the specific affairs in the official office must be handled.

In this way, it is a combination of the two themes of theory and judgment.

On the other hand, some courtiers did write the cantata like this. And the music written in this way is indeed quite impressive.

As the prime minister, Han Jiang generally likes to see such a concerto, and the judgments and handling methods are given together, which is refreshing to watch. Unlike some concertos, which are always covered by clouds and mountains, I don't know how much effort it takes to find the actual content in them.

There is nothing wrong with letting the new scholars be courtiers in advance. In the next decade or two, they will inevitably encounter the situation of writing a cantata to submit to the political hall, and a thesis can help them understand how to write a cantata.

It is indeed qi science. However, it is not a qi science that competes with the new school for the right to interpret the scriptures, but a qi science that aims to be used in the world.

But then again, if there is no question, it will inevitably cause controversy. But with the questioning, coupled with the argument, there will be less criticism.

It's hard to say that one hundred points, it's also a new creation, I don't know if the examiners can get used to it.

What's more, how should these two questions be divided?

……………………

Han Gang didn't have much thought about the newly named genre.

To tell the truth, the article he wrote in the palace examination back then was almost like a thesis.

Similar to the articles of Shen Lun, Han Gang can see them every day, and now he is just giving a name.

As the content of the exam questions, it is impossible to judge the candidate's ability to govern the examinee by poetry and scripture. Although the question can see the candidate's vision, it is actually air-to-air. Although the argument is also empty-to-air, it still has some substantive content.

After revealing his plans to Han Jiang, Han Gang had no other thoughts for the time being. The questions that are taken out now are just examples, and the real exam questions will not be handed over until the last time.

Following Han Jiang's footsteps, he approached the Chongzheng Palace, and without waiting long, the Queen Mother's Luan also arrived in the palace.

Although the court push has just ended, the newly promoted deputy privy envoy Zeng Xiaokuan is not the focus of today's deliberations.

Speaking of which, there is nothing important to discuss today.

One is a piece from the court, asking the queen mother to appoint the palace to make spring clothes for the soldiers of the Western Regions. And hopefully this will result in customization. Make spring clothes in winter, and in autumn, let the palace people make winter clothes for the soldiers of the Western Regions.

In the recital, it is explained that in the Western Regions, one spring dress and one winter dress a year are completely insufficient, and the palace maid makes a second set of military uniforms for them, which can naturally win the hearts of the military. At the same time, the recital also cites several old examples of the Han and Tang dynasties to make footnotes to his proposals. Probably to arouse the interest of the Queen Mother, the recital also attached an anecdote about Emperor Tang Ming.

There are many precedents for palace maids to make robes for soldiers on the front line, and there is no need to trace back to the Han and Tang dynasties, in fact, there are in this dynasty. This matter is not big, the reason why I want to write to the Queen Mother is just because the Queen Mother herself is in charge of the palace, and the political affairs hall cannot interfere, otherwise it will be approved directly by Han Jiang, Zhang Qi, and Han Gang.

The reason why it needs to be discussed is because Han Gang is against it.

Empress Dowager Xiang was puzzled by this, if others objected, it would be fine, it was the Western Army that fought in the Western Regions, and the leader was Wang Sunchen, who had a close relationship with him, so he should not have come forward to oppose it.

"Participating in politics, although the horse and infantry forbidden army have spring clothes and winter clothes, they only have one set. The Western Regions is bitterly cold, and there are constant battles, and one set is definitely not enough. ”

Speaking of military uniforms, no one in the palace is more familiar with it than Han Gang, who has been preparing for military supplies for many years, and of course he knows the thirst for all kinds of military supplies in the Western Regions, and there will never be a shortage of military uniforms.

It's not because of being deducted - because of the problem of officials and drinking the blood of soldiers, the uniforms of many troops are often deducted, but because of the continuous war in the northwest at that time, if the winter clothes are not issued in time, it is easy to cause a mutiny, I don't know how many heads to take to offset the account, few fools will stretch their hands into this.

But because the war is out, the wear and tear of the robe will be greatly increased, and a good dress that can be worn for half a year is good to last for a month after going out.

But Han Gang still opposed letting the palace people make military uniforms.

"The minister is not against the addition of levy robes, but wants to know that the levy robes are made by the palace people, will they be rewarded?"

"Remuneration?" Empress Dowager Xiang was stunned for a moment, "...... There will be some bonuses, usually there are monthly examples, and the palace people will also be female celebrities when they are free, just let them change to make robes. ”

If you were someone else, most of you would think that Han Gang was worried that the Queen Mother would take the opportunity to pay the palace people more-it is also the duty of a courtier to remind the palace to be frugal at any time-but the Queen Mother understood correctly this time, Han Gang was not worried about giving money, but not about giving money.

"Your Majesty's Mingjian, although there is a bonus, it should not be comparable to the income of being a female celebrity. If it's once or twice, it's fine. But all year round, don't the palace people complain? If a person has a grudge, how can it last long? The Queen Mother thought of the soldiers of the Western Regions, and gave them robes, which was a good thing. If this makes the palace people resentful, it is not beautiful. ”

The vast majority of palace people don't have much leisure, they have their own things to be busy, and they will be female celebrities when they are idle.

Some of the pocket money in their hands is not enough to rely on Lulu, and the rewards will not be much - that is, the concubines all take money on a monthly basis, occasionally receive some gifts from outside the palace, and they have to worry about being beaten and reported, how can it be possible to reward dozens or hundreds of times? - It is up to people to take their works out of the palace to sell, and then bring the money back, or directly ask people to exchange them for rouge gouache, silk ornaments, etc.

Suddenly, they are asked to do day jobs, at most they are given some symbolic benefits, not to mention the loss of a lot of potential income, but twice a year, every year, which one will not complain?

If the army of the Western Regions is resentful, it will have no effect on the queen mother in the deep palace, but if the palace maids around them are resentful, the threat will be greater.

"I see, the concern about participating in politics is. But what about the military robes of the Western Regions? ”

"On the one hand, you can let the palace people make it, as long as they are given a remuneration equal to the market price. On the other hand, the army that went out to the Western Regions did not need to take back the sheep fur issued to the soldiers. ”

"What sheep?"

"Your Majesty, because of the bitter cold in the imperial court, in winter, will give sheep fur in the army, and everyone will receive it. When it is warm in spring, it will be detained, repaired and stored in the treasury for winter. ”

In the Northwest Army, the sheepskin jacket issued by the imperial court did not belong to this person, but like armor and weapons, they only had the right to use, not ownership. Han Gang's meaning is that the ownership can also be given to the Western Regions Army.

"That's not enough."

A sheepskin jacket, the Queen Mother Xiang doesn't think it can last for many years.

"It's not enough. But first of all, it is necessary to ensure the quality of two sets of military uniforms in spring and winter. The robes issued by the imperial court are often not qualified, or light and short, or easy to decay, in short, in short, unsatisfactory. ”

"This matter should be strictly investigated!" Xiang Empress Dowager said categorically.

"Your Majesty." Han Gang saluted, and then said, "There is another matter. ”

"Please say anything about politics."

"The Emperor and Song Dynasty have thousands of states, north and south, east and west are thousands of miles away, the climate is different from each other, and the flowers are blooming in Beijing today. On the Western Regions Road, the snow has not yet melted. In Jiaozhou, it is like summer. Han Gang paused, "The "Moon Order" in the "Book of Rites" talks about the four o'clock, but it is only in the north and south of the Yellow River. For example, in Yongzhou, four o'clock is like spring, and there is no deep cold in winter. Jiaozhou is like summer at four o'clock. From the right of Longxi to the south, on the plateau, the place where the Tubo people live, there are many peaks and peaks that do not melt with snow all year round. The Quartet Moon Order is very different from the Central Plains, but it is all 'Mo Fei Wang'. ”

"Participating in politics is to say that the climate is different from place to place, so the outfits issued have to change depending on the region?"

Probably related to clothes, Xiang Xiang's Queen Mother was very keen.

"Exactly." Han Gang nodded, "As for how to change according to the region, the minister asked His Majesty to hand it over to Yousi to be responsible, and then hand it over to a special person to tailor." ”

"It's up to you to participate in politics."

Han Gang praised it in his mouth and saluted again.

Han Gang hopes to set up a garment house in the capital to specialize in tailoring ready-to-wear. Nowadays, there are not many shops selling ready-to-wear clothes, but most of them are used clothes, and pawnshops are the biggest source of them. And it is really difficult to survive in the ready-to-wear house of new clothes. But if it's for the army, that's another story.

"As for the fabric, cotton is the best way to make the robe, and silk is often unusable."

Before Han Gang's words fell, Xiang Xiang immediately said, "You should know how to participate in politics, cotton cloth is very expensive." ”

"Ordinary cotton cloth is now equivalent to silk, and silk cannot make cotton cloth durable and warm."

Today's Jiangnan has also begun to grow cotton, and Songjiang, which is clothed in the world, is about to appear in the Great Song Dynasty, which is the problem that Han Gang and the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce in his hands must face.
