Yinren glanced at the four scholars in front of him, and then said loudly: "Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and many people in Kaienke this time are going to be delegated to the local government to be parents or one of the principals. ”

"When several adults write questions, remember to focus on agronomy. People who want to come to Huang Ama to attach so much importance to agriculture are also the same as Gu. ”

The reason why Kangxi was pulled out was only because there was a Kangxi name pressing, and the possibility of these scholars being disobedient was much smaller.

Moreover, what Yinren said was not a lie. Kangxi has attached great importance to agriculture, and since he came to power, he has built water conservancy and waste, except for land enclosure orders and people to recuperate, etc., and has implemented a series of policies to develop agriculture.

However, although Kangxi attaches great importance to agriculture, there is basically no situation where the questions focus on agriculture during the imperial examination.

The four scholars could not refute it, after all, this agriculture is indeed the foundation of the country. If there is not enough food to solve the most basic problem of food and clothing for the people, sooner or later the social system will be shaken.

The four of them glanced at each other before they said to Yinren: "The ministers must follow the teachings of His Highness!" ”。 Yinren nodded, and continued: "It's almost November now, and although there are not a few people who have come to Enke, who opened it urgently, many people still haven't arrived because of time problems

Thinking about it, if this would be directly exempted, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials would do a simple screening first. Ten days later, the temple examination will begin directly. ”

As soon as Yinren finished speaking, someone below retorted: "Your Highness, no." If you are exempted from the examination, the people selected may not all have a solid foundation. It's so uneven, it's a scourge to put it in place. ”

Yinren nodded lightly and said, "This is true, it's just that if you can't avoid the test, then it will take a few months before and after this Kaienke." In any case, this must be done by the end of the year. ”

"You see, why don't you simplify the content of this exam and finish it the day before the temple exam? Although it is still impossible to fully explore the background of these people, it is unlikely that the people selected will fish in troubled waters when the time comes. ”

After Yinren finished speaking, the eyes of the four scholars lit up, and they all said in unison: "This method should be done!" ”。 But to put it mildly, Yinren didn't really take this aspect into account at first, but when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by these scholars.

It's not good to lose their face because of such a small thing, so they pretend to think of this method. It's just for the sake of these scholars to get by.

As for the cancellation of the exam, this is not a whim that Yinren wants to do this, but the result of some careful consideration.

Of course, it is because of the time problem, if the examination is really held, this time will be delayed again and again, and Kangxi will almost come back by then, and it will undoubtedly be difficult for him to interfere in the selection of officials at that time.

If you are not careful, you will be targeted by Kangxi.

Second, because of the imperial examination of the Qing Dynasty, for some reason, the development began to pay attention to the Bagu Wen. Pursue strict essay formatting and flowery rhetoric. Yinren really can't see what effect these two things have on the selection of talents.

Moreover, the township examination and the examination are only based on the content of the Four Books and Five Classics, and some of those candidates have reached the point of going crazy in order to be able to gain fame. The whole mind is put on the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the knowledge next to it can be said to be ignorant.

Yinren couldn't help but think of a joke he had seen in "The Outer History of Confucianism". It is said that there is a person who jokingly said to a Jinshi: "Now, if Su Shi from Sichuan comes to take the test, this article can only be rated as a sixth class." ”

After saying this, who knew that the Jinshi said: "Since Su Shi's article is not good, he can't pass the exam." "Once a jinshi, I didn't even know who Su Shi was.

Of course, this is just a sarcasm, ironic that those who read books are devoted to the study of the Four Books and the Five Classics, but they put everything aside and ignore it. If you want to say whether there is such a person, I think there is,

Moreover, the content of the Four Books and Five Classics will be tested in this exam, after all, many of the knowledge and principles in it are not outdated in modern times, let alone that era?

The bad thing is that with the eight shares of the soldier as the official, these candidates are excessively pursuing to use flowery rhetoric to make beautiful articles that conform to the rigorous format. Over time, people's minds will become fixed.

Although the test is based on the Four Books and Five Classics, which can be interpreted differently and has far-reaching meanings. But in order to pass the exam, these people gave up the Four Books and Five Classics to pursue the eight-strand essay model essay that was born to cope with the exam. Isn't it like a modern exam?

Under the requirements of this eight-strand text, students' actual knowledge and talent are ignored, and blindly follow the inherent format, which is easy to solidify thoughts, so that a person gradually loses independent thinking and innovative insights.

Yinren doesn't want the people who do things under his hands to be a group of marionettes who move when they are ordered. If that's the case, what's the point of Yinren working so hard to do this?

Yinren wants people who can do practical things and make a difference, not "officials" who can only write articles and only compete for power and profit in the court!

Before a few university scholars left, Yinren instructed again: "This test question is ready, remember to take it and give it to Gu to take a look." Lone is also prepared. ”

After dealing with the matter here, Yinren got up and left the palace. Now that the epidemic has been controlled, according to the words handed over by the imperial doctor, Bushan is almost fine.

I should also go to Gualjia Mansion to have a look. Now that Kabula is not in Beijing, there are some things that still need to be done properly. Now that he is almost in good health, it is time to discuss it with him.

Moreover, on the side of the Secret Guard, he hasn't shown up for a few days. I can't say that I have to brush up on my sense of existence in the past, and I can't say that I want to brush up on my presence.

I don't know how the poor young house that I ordered to prepare for the construction of the house is preparing now. After all, many people have died after the epidemic in Beijing, and many children should have become orphans.

Although the court also asked about this matter, Yinren felt that it was still reliable to come by himself. After all, if the imperial court really handles it well, where will there be so many little beggars on the streets of Beijing?

It just so happened that this time I was over, and I was able to discuss with the dark one and get this matter done as soon as possible.
