Chapter 101: Ranked first
Why was Li Xiang able to write so quickly? That's because he had already made preparations, made the five-year development plan of Zhongxing Dasong, and then stored it in the super 3D printer, and when it came to the palace exam, he naturally took out the article that had been prepared early and copied it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The only one who can write like Li Xiang is probably Wen Yunsun, that is, Lu Xiufu, who also stopped writing and kept thinking about how to write.
Li Xiang's five-year development plan includes four aspects: economy, culture, science and technology, and military. In terms of economy, it is mainly focused on the development of the ceramic industry, the utilization of biogas digesters, the development of natural gas, the development of petroleum, metallurgy, cement, shipbuilding, weapons manufacturing and other industries, and at the same time the development of foreign trade, mainly shipping trade, the construction of ports, and the expansion of foreign trade.
In terms of culture and education, we advocate the development of new science and technology education and the construction of new schools. In the field of science and technology, the main thing is to develop new military industries in order to promote the development of science and technology and to establish specialized scientific research institutions. In the military aspect, it is to speed up the introduction of new weapons and equipment into the armed forces and to study new methods of warfare.
Although some of these contents seem to be a little ahead of their time, there will be no great development without innovation, and the Great Song Dynasty must have strong economic, technological and military strength to defeat the Mongol Empire, just like Germany swept through Europe during World War II in later generations, using strong technological and industrial advantages to fight a turnaround in one fell swoop. Only with the elimination of the Mongol Empire, the Great Song Dynasty could achieve sustained and good development. The people of the Great Song Dynasty would not be slaughtered by the Mongol Tatars, or even exterminated.
Li Xiang was full of boiling enthusiasm, and almost finished writing the five-year development plan in one breath, and the whole article was nearly 20,000 words, which can be regarded as a good paper, but it was written in classical Chinese, after all, this is a palace test.
The little princess and Emperor Lizong paid the most attention to the candidate, of course, Li Xiang, seeing Li Xiang writing down almost breathlessly, Emperor Lizong couldn't help nodding slightly, he knew that Li Ying should answer well, which can be seen from his expression, but Emperor Lizong already has a plan in his heart, that is, he can't let Li Xiang win the champion, because he wants Princess Ruiguo to marry the champion!
If Li Xiang was a concubine, he would not be able to work for the Great Song Dynasty, which was the practice of the Great Song Dynasty.
The little princess was thinking differently, she was thinking, Li Xiang answered so smoothly, she must have been confident, if he was the top student in high school, she would ask her father to recruit him as a concubine, how good it would be! The rest of the talents, although they also have good family backgrounds and are handsome, but they just like him!
The time of the day passed quickly, and of course, Li Xiang was the first to submit the papers!
After Li Xiang finished handing in the papers and leaving the palace, Emperor Lizong personally went to Li Xiang's seat, and after seeing Li Xiang's payment, he ordered someone to pack up the papers. Then Emperor Lizong began to review the papers, the first thing to look at was Li Xiang's answer sheet, of course, because there were more than 300 candidates, the rest of the candidates' test papers, was to be led by Li Boyu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to lead the examiners to conduct a preliminary screening, and then the good ones were reviewed by the emperor himself, but Li Xiang handed in the papers relatively early, and Emperor Lizong has been looking forward to Li Xiang's answer sheets, so Emperor Lizong personally read the papers in advance.
"Floating like clouds, like a dragon! Good words, good words! "When Emperor Lizong read the papers, the little princess also ran to the side, but Li Xiang's characters did reach a very high level after a few months of practice, after all, he imitated the calligraphy of Tang Bohu in later generations, this is the first time Emperor Lizong saw such a unique calligraphy, and he was naturally shocked.
Looking at the content again, Emperor Lizong was even more shocked, because Li Xiang's article was not only long, but also comprehensive, such as how to develop natural gas and oil, how to develop the military industry, how to equip the army with new weapons, how to train, and how to fight, all of which were discussed in detail!
The more Emperor Lizong read, the more excited he became, until he finished reading tens of thousands of words, and after pondering for a long time, he called Ding Daquan, the right minister, and Li Boyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
At this time, more than ten candidates handed in their papers, and Li Boyu let the examiner carry him in.
Emperor Lizong said happily: "Two Aiqing, come and read this article, it is really amazing!" ”
Ding Daquan and Li Boyu hurriedly went to the emperor's case to take a look, the first thing that caught their eyes was the beautiful peach blossom calligraphy, and then looked at the content, the two were also shocked, there are many things in this article that they never thought of, if the five-year plan mentioned in this article is really realized, then the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty will be so strong that the Mongol Empire is afraid! It is even possible to surrender without a fight, but is this article a bit exaggerated? This is indeed worth considering.
Emperor Lizong glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile: "I have also read it carefully, and I can write such an article, and I really have a splendid heart in my heart." Do the two Aiqing think this person should be the champion? ”
Ding Daquan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although this article is good, it is a bit exaggerated, not to mention those plans, whether it can be realized in five years, the emperor should also read other exam papers, what if there is a better candidate than this candidate?" ”
Emperor Lizong nodded and said, "What Ding Aiqing said is extremely true! Okay, let's start grading! ”
After a while, the candidates handed in the papers one after another, at this time it was already twilight, of course, the examiners were not allowed to rest, they had to step up the marking, and then select the excellent test papers, and circle them with a red pen, and hand them over to the emperor for decision.
The palace test is different from the provincial test of the township test, and the list will be released the next day, so the emperor also has to work overtime.
When the examiners arrived, and then stepped up the marking one by one, and selected the better ones, Emperor Lizong did not stop, and even the little princess was helping on the side, so that after about two hours, the task was completed.
Emperor Lizong looked around at everyone present and said, "I know that you are all rich and wealthy people, and it is because of me that I will hand over such things that are related to the people's livelihood of the country to the secretaries. Judging from these many test papers, the top three have been decided. ”
The next morning, a large number of lifters had been waiting for a long time in the square in front of the main hall.
Emperor Lizong was also tired and excited on his face, and asked Li Boyu to call the first-class candidates in to see them first.
Sure enough, the top three were Li Xiang, Lu Xiufu and Wen Yunsun.
The three of them rushed in, and at the end, after the three of them came in turn, they knelt down and saluted the emperor one after another, among them, only Li Xiang was the most calm, and the other two were excited.
"I think you also know in your minds, what I mean by calling you in, the three of you are the first people in the palace test this time," Emperor Lizong glanced at the three people below, and saw that all three of them were wearing Confucian shirts, but Li Xiang was far superior to the others in terms of bearing and appearance.
"Are you Wen Yunsun?" Emperor Lizong looked at Wen Yunsun, who was still excited on the far right, and asked.
"Back to the emperor, the student is," Wen Yunsun almost fainted when he saw the emperor asking, and the whole person was trembling when he knelt down, in fact, it was usually difficult for him to be like this, but today he won the first class, and he felt indescribably excited, and now he doesn't know how many places he is, if he really wins the first place, isn't it a loss to Li Xiang? It's just that he also hopes that he loses now.
