You're a traitor!

Zhao Huan looked at Qin Hui and asked coldly: "Qin Qing, is it possible that in the future, as long as my Jinshi of the Great Song Dynasty can do it as long as he can shoot a musket?" ”

Qin Hui said: "It doesn't seem to be enough to shoot a gun...... Do you want to take another poetry test? ”

Or a traitor is thoughtful, just can shoot targets and can't be an official if he can't read!

"Kao Shifu and target shooting?" Zhao Huan squinted his eyes, "Aren't you testing the sage's reasoning and article countermeasures?" ”

"Your Majesty," Qin Hui said, "can be a person who can be a poet, and his literary style is not bad, and he can handle ordinary official documents." As for the great teachings of the saints...... There are many people who say one thing and do another, and there are even more who can say that they can't do it, so it's useless to take the test.

As for the countermeasure article, it is just talk on paper and is of no use. ”

You're that kind of person yourself, aren't you? Zhao Huan thought to himself: But this traitor's words also make some sense. Otherwise, why did the Great Song Dynasty get to where it is now?

Knowing the affairs of the Privy Council, Qu Duan played at this time: "Your Majesty, what Qin Hui said is true, when the Eastern Thief soldiers came to Kaifeng Mansion in the past, it coincided with the imperial examination. Talented people from all over the world gather in Kaifeng, but who can offer a plan? Can you kill a thief? If you shoot at the target, there are tens of thousands of people who are good at using muskets, maybe you can kill a few more thieves! ”

Alas! Zhao Huan sighed: This is ...... That's right!

Tens of thousands of patriotic, unpatriotic soldiers are really not as effective as 10,000 musketeers when the national crisis is at hand.

If the Jingkang Shame of History, Kaifeng Mansion could have 10,000 high-level musketeers, and the Northern Song Dynasty would not be extinguished.

As for what the sage taught, the article countermeasures. To be honest, who is not a civil official from the imperial examination who is not a full set of moral articles? But are there many corrupt officials or clean officials among them? Is there more dumb officials or more capable ministers?

It seems that there are still many more corrupt officials than clean officials, and there are far more dumb officials than capable officials, right?

Since they are the same greedy and stupid, how can there be any problem with the moral article? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to write some official documents? What's the use of asking for so many reasons?

It's better to practice the ability to shoot guns, and at least kill a thief in times of crisis, and defend the Great Song Dynasty in a so-so way, right?

……

"Geng Qing, He Qing, Qin Qing, Zhang Qing, you all talk about it!"

Now there are only Zhao Huan and four civil officials left in the Chongzheng Palace, as well as a few drowsy little yellow doors holding medicine jars - Zhao Huan's physical fitness is very good, with his father Zhao Ji. Historically, I have watched the snow in the Ministry of the Five Nations for almost 30 years before I died. Therefore, the eunuchs of the Imperial Medicine Academy followed him and pretended to be, and there was no room for play at all.

The four ministers Geng Nanzhong, He Li, Qin Hui, and Zhang Jun looked at each other, all with helpless expressions.

What do you say? Now they don't count! Qu Duan and Yue Fei are domineering today, they just don't have "political brains", and they don't take the emperor and Wenchen seriously.

What can you do?

Killed?

Do you dare?

Even if the new army stationed in Chang'an doesn't make chaos, can Jing Chu still not make trouble?

Now not only the world has three points, but even the Zhao and Song dynasties have three points. The military leaders on Jing Chu's side are not loyal to Chang'an, and they can still vote for Jiangning, and they can also go to Sichuan to welcome the emperor!

Will Zhao Huan still be alive by then? He set a precedent for the Zhao brothers to openly kill each other!

"Your Majesty, Qu Duan and Yue Fei are still loyal, and they are also reassuring." The first to speak was Qin Hui, he was actually saying good things for Yue Fei, "Other martial artists are not as good as ...... the two of them."

That's true!

Now it's not that Qin Hui likes Qu Duan and Yue Fei, but that these two are at least reliable, loyal to the imperial court, and also have the ability, which is reassuring, but they are a little cheap. A decade or two earlier, it could have been punished, and now ...... Be content!

With these two goods to protect the family, Zhao Huan can at least sleep peacefully. If you really want to replace them, Zhao Huan has to keep one eye open when he sleeps, which affects the quality of sleep too much.

"But they're going to shoot a target!" Zhao Huan stomped his feet.

"Then let's shoot the target." Qin Hui said, "For the scholars of the world, it is better to have a scholar than not to have a scholar...... Today, it is already a troubled era of the Warring States, and the morality of the article is not of much use, and it is more practical to shoot targets with muskets. Moreover, the imperial examination is a ladder to heaven for the children of the world's poor families. It's all about being able to rise and be fair. Musket targets are still very fair. ”

This is also true.

In the peaceful and prosperous times, it is nothing for you to take the moral essay. But now the world is in chaos, and the three kingdoms are vying for hegemony. You're a bit too pedantic to use articles to pick up people.

These people of moral articles can't beat the thieves of the violent Zhou, they can't beat them, everything is fake.

"If the world's soldiers can use arquebuses, my Da Song will be able to become stronger?" Zhao Huan asked. He is now a king who dreams of becoming stronger, because he can only live if he is strong enough!

Qin Hui couldn't answer this question because he couldn't play with guns. But among the four civil servants present, one of them can play with guns.

"Your Majesty," Shang Shu Youcheng Zhang Jun played, "the minister thinks that although it is insulting to use the art of muskets to win soldiers, it is indeed useful for strengthening the people and strengthening the people. Because the method of taking scholars in the imperial court is the art of ascetic cultivation by people with lofty ideals. I have always emphasized literature and light on martial arts, and paid attention to the Five Classics and read them in front of the window. Therefore, most of the people with lofty ideals are weak people, and there is nothing when the world is peaceful. But once the world is in chaos and there are many military disasters, how can a weak man be in the army?

Moreover, the art of musket is not only in archery, but also in the art of making guns and refining gunpowder. In both cases, our dynasty is weaker than the two thieves. This is a great calamity for the nation!

If the imperial court can use guns to win soldiers, then the talented people of the people will not only practice the method of muskets, but also work hard to make guns and pharmaceuticals (gunpowder). In the future, the imperial court will not only have scholars who are proficient in muskets, but also good muskets and good gunpowder will be available. There is no need to be afraid of violent weeks anymore. ”

It seems to make sense......

Zhao Huan glanced at He Li again.

He Li said: "Your Majesty, I blindly emphasized literature and light military force in the past, so that the scholars had the heart to serve the country, but had no power to serve the country. This is the fundamental reason for the chaos in the world! And now it is a noble and light man, and in the long run, I am afraid that I will repeat the mistakes of the five dynasties of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Not really!

Zhao Huan became entangled all of a sudden.

Now the martial artists of the Great Song Dynasty are becoming more and more disagreeable! has reached the point where he dares to argue with the imperial court. How do you get it if you go on like this?

"Is there anything He Qing can do?"

He Li said: "The minister thinks that the way of civil and military affairs should be equally important. ”

"How?"

He Li said: "We should not only take soldiers by shooting targets, but also recruit people who shoot targets to serve in the army and make meritorious contributions." ”

This is called paying equal attention to civil and military? Zhao Huan looked at He Li and didn't know what to say for a while.

Geng Nanzhong, the left minister on the side, asked: "Doesn't a target shooter become a warrior when he joins the army?" ”

He Li said: "As long as you are a literati, you are a literati...... The civil servants of this dynasty have always been able to make military merits. ”

Geng Nanzhong thought to himself: That is to make meritorious service with civil and imperial martial arts, not Wenchen himself carrying a musket to the battlefield!

He Li continued: "His Majesty the Son of Heaven in this dynasty pays attention to mixing different theories. But now the army is all Huashan faction, are there any different opinions? If you can let the loyal and patriotic soldiers of the world serve the country in the army, there will be different opinions in this army! Such a scholar will become a civil servant in the future, and he will pay equal attention to civil and military talents! ”

Zhao Huan was finally convinced, and the current Great Song Dynasty is already an era when knives and guns have the final say.

If the knives and guns are all in the same group, then the court will inevitably be subject to the warriors.

If we want to change this situation, we must open another "musket faction" in addition to the officers of the "Huashan faction," so that the two factions can contain each other.

On the first day of the third month of the seventh year of Jingkang in the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial court finally promulgated the edict of reopening the imperial examination, and at the same time posted the imperial list in all states and counties in the country, announcing that the examination for the release of the emperor would be held in the eighth year of Jingkang, and the great competition of the Ministry of Rites would be held in the ninth year of Jingkang.

As soon as the emperor list came out, the world was in an uproar.

Because the rules of the imperial examination this time exceeded the expectations of all scholars.

The exam is divided into two steps, the first step is to test poetry, that is, to compose poetry. The examiner will ask the questions on the spot, and the candidates will splash ink on the spot and write the poems and hand them in. However, the examiner does not choose the best from a pile of poems, but only makes judgments of "yes" and "can't".

In other words, Shifu only decides whether students are eligible to take the second step exam, and does not determine who can go to high school.

In fact, it's a qualifier - after all, it's a civil official, so you have to be able to write poetry, right? Brush words can't be crawled by dogs, right? As long as you can write poems and write neatly, you will be able to cope with ordinary official duties.

As for being a good official...... The original test method of the Great Song Dynasty did not produce any good officials, otherwise it would not have fallen to the point where it is today.

After being able to handle official duties in a so-so manner, it is time to go to the decisive target shooting.

The rules of target shooting are also simple, that is, the number of people who are selected in advance is predetermined, and then the target is shot in rounds, and the last place is eliminated. Until the superfluous people are brushed down, the rest is the "middle" lifter or jinshi.

Moreover, the shooting was carried out in public, and idle people were allowed to observe.

The eyes of the people are bright, and they can see if they hit or not, so it is impossible for the examiner to cheat.

This kind of imperial examination is no longer fair!

As for the cost of target shooting, it is actually not too high. The cost of a Republican eight-year-old heavy smoothbore gun is only two pieces of silver coins, which is equivalent to four taels of silver, three and a half horses when exchanged for Shu brocade, and three to six stones when exchanged for rice (rice prices fluctuate greatly).

Of course, this price is the ex-factory price of Tianjin Firearms Factory in the Republic of Dazhou. The cost of folk blacksmiths in the Western Song Dynasty is not so low, but it is not too expensive, and more than a dozen stones of rice is about the same.

Just this bit of rice, a landlord class intellectuals can't take it out? Can't afford a horse, can't afford a buffalo horn bow, can't afford to learn traditional martial arts, and can't afford to spend a dozen stone rice dollars to get a musket?

If you really don't have it, then don't take any imperial examinations, and you can farm honestly.

But such a rule still makes the readers of the Great Song Dynasty feel overwhelmed.
