Chapter 831: A New Beginning (Part II)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Therefore, in the second year of Longqing, the palace of Wuchenke tried to ask 'the way of external and internal security'. Where there are four hundred and two crosses, the opening sentence clearly says: 'Those who rule the world will be prosperous and reasonable, and the government will be solid. However, it is the most important thing to do business, and to manage and prepare the army', that is, the monarch should take the importance of agriculture and the rejuvenation of the army as an urgent task. Then three questions were raised, namely, how to get the people to return to their original farming? How to practice the method of salt? How to defend against alien infestation? Through these three questions, it can also be seen that Emperor Longqing's level is not as good as he imagined, and he can still cut to the point.

However, Long Qing was not satisfied with the scrolls presented, thinking that the text must be ancient and too vague, like those who only know how to talk about the clear stream, and he is very unhappy. This is related to the fact that when the emperor was in the palace, he was taught by Gao, Shen, and Zhang.

So he ordered someone to take the rest of the volumes, and with perseverance that had not been encountered in a hundred years, he read them one by one, and finally when it was almost noon, he saw a very hearty one. See his words: 'When the ministers hear that the emperor is in the world, they will be in peace, and then they can become the supreme rule of the world; It will be clear and judgmental, and then it can collect the real work of the world. The emperor was very pleased, so he continued to read it, but saw that the text was full of more than 4,000 words, and gave strict and detailed answers to the three questions raised by the emperor.

In view of the phenomenon that many people left the land at that time, and there were many lazy people and few people who returned to the farm, he put forward the words of one family: "yù drive the people of the world to their strength, and there is no other way, but the noble grain and the acres are right." That is, to raise the price of grain, to clear the land under heaven, and to restrain the invasion and annexation of powerful landlords.

As for how to implement the method of tun salt, he said: "The law of tun salt, so the bed is not as good as the ancients, the ancestors of the ancestors of the side of the preparation of Zhenju, the captives did not dare to enter, reclaimed the plug, and the salt and grain, at that time did not borrow the internal money, but the public sī was rich." Now the borders are suffering for many years, and there is no arable field, and the salt merchants have no millet to buy. The parties concerned agreed to issue silver and spare salt to support it, so the government could not be overcome, and the salt was stagnant. Fujing division of the world fundamental, the internal national plan is closed, to the world for the Beijing division of its trend, with the internal money for the Quartet its trend, this resumption of salt benefits, sincerity for the permanent map also. So he put forward four suggestions: 'One is the period of strict levy, the second is the number of nuclear deposits, the third is the lord of aggression, and the fourth is the old salt. ’

As for how to resist foreign invasion, he proposed three countermeasures: 'heavy generals', 'decisive battle first', and 'financial management first', that is, to select suitable generals militarily, to make material preparations financially, and all strategies should be based on the premise of winning a decisive battle...... Although the details are a little vague, as an inexperienced scholar, it is very rare to have such a correct strategic thinking.

But what Longqing values the most is its second article, the response to the method of tun salt, obviously after years of painstaking research, put forward pertinent views, feasible suggestions, is really rare.

So Longqing appointed the volume as the first place in the first class, and showed it to the public, so that the examiners took this as a lesson and selected those who had something to say.

Seeing this article, the examiner finally understood that the emperor was liberated once he turned over and wanted to take the line of reform to prove that he was right to promise Xu Ge Lao's resignation. has the experience of Xu Jie, and no one is willing to go against the emperor at this time. So according to Longqing's meaning, the original ranking was overturned and the top three seats were rearranged.

After everything was done, it was already the early morning of the next day, after the emperor used the seal, the transcription officer hurriedly filled in the imperial list of the legend, and when everything was ready, the new science and technology scholars had gathered in Dong'an Mén, waiting to enter the palace to pass the news.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the end of the day, accompanied by the solemn Jingyang bell, the three positive doors of the Forbidden City and the two east-west doors of the Forbidden City were slowly opened at the same time. Two teams of mighty Han generals dressed in gold armor walked out of each other from the four méndòng except the middle mén with neat steps, standing beside the five avenues paved with Han Bai yù.

At this time, outside the palace, there were already four hundred and three new scholars wearing dark blue robes, as well as the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in front of them...... The visit of the new branch to the emperor is a major event that has been very important to all dynasties. Because from now on, these people will take on the important responsibility of the country, as officials and eunuchs, or for the benefit of one party, and their names will go down in history, or they will make meritorious contributions and be brilliant for all generations, and they are well known. And this is the first ceremony of the Longqing New Dynasty, which is more important than in any previous decades, and the arrangement is more grand.

All the important ministers of the dynasty were also ordered to come and watch the ceremony. The three major princes of Beijing, the British Duke and the Chengguo Duke are in person, and the Dingguo Duke is not good at doing it, and it is also represented by the prince Xu Wenbi. The four members of the Cabinet were also present...... Even Shen Jiangnan, the second assistant who had just returned from the funeral in the south, was re-faced and stood on the left side behind the minister and before the hundred officials.

At three o'clock in the morning, another bell rang on the upper floor of the city, and a eunuch pulled the voice of the male duck and said: "The auspicious time has arrived, and the hundred officials will pay tribute to meet you!" ”

So the ministers and hundreds of officials led the new science and technology jinshi, into the Forbidden City, after passing the emperor's pole, then saw a round of red sun from the east erupted, the glow shone on the bright yellow sè glazed tiles of the emperor's palace, folded shè out of ten thousand golden mangs, the layers of Dan Majesty stood in the forest, holding the golden gourd, treasure top, banner of the golden armor guards, set off like a heavenly soldier and a general, the supreme imperial power to the extreme!

As Li Chūnfang, the first assistant of the cabinet who served as the official of the herald, took over the imperial list presented by the Honglu Temple, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the new branch of Jinshi knelt down together. Li Chūn Fang took a deep breath, unfolded the yellow book in his hand, and said aloud: "Ladies and gentlemen, listen to the Xuan ......" The new science and technology scholars raised their feet and looked at the golden book in his hand with anxiety. I only heard his voice resounding in the square in front of the temple: "...... Huang Enhao dàng, Kaike and scholars, for the country, the origin of the question. At the end of the Wuchen Kedian examination in the second year of Longqing, His Majesty will test the world's tribute scholars, and Qin will give the first class and the third place, the second class of the first class of the Jinshi from seventy-seven, and the third class with the three hundred and twenty-three from the same jinshi, as follows......"

At this point, Li Chūnfang paused intentionally to enjoy the silent scene, and then said word by word: "The first place in the palace examination...... Zhejiang Shaoxing Luowanhua! ”

The Han generals on both sides shouted as if in relay: "First place, Gongsheng Luo Wanhua meets ......" For a while, the entire Huangji Palace replied with the same sentence.

Luo Wanhua knelt there, the whole person was completely stunned, his brain was blank, and he was so stupid on the spot. Finally, like a puppet, he followed the officials of Honglu Temple to the golden hall, and when he passed by Shen Mo's side, he saw the teacher smiling at him, so he regained some senses, and followed him into the temple to praise and thank him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Li Chūnfang's voice then rang out, and the officials began to take their seats:

"Second place in the first class, Huang Fengxiang in Quanzhou, Fujian!" Then I saw a handsome young man coming to court.

"The third place in the first class, Zhao Zhigao in Jinhua, Zhejiang!" This is a slightly older, calm Jinshi.

The above three are the champions of the second year of Longqing, and they are all from Suzhou Fuxue.

"First place in the second class, Sichuan Nanchong Li Changchūn!" This has nothing to do with Suzhou Fuxue, but is a student of Chen Yiqin, a university scholar today.

"Second place in the second class, Shanxi Mountain yīn Wang Jiaping!" This is also studying in Suzhou Fuxue, but he is a newcomer to the Shanxi Gang.

"The third place in the second class, Fujian Datian Yijun!" This is Huiyuan, which fell to sixth, with an unnatural expression on his face, and it is also from Suzhou Fuxue.

"Fourth place in the second class, Li Fengyang, Jinjiang, Fujian!" This has nothing to do with Suzhou Fuxue.

"Fifth place in the second class, Nanzhi Suzhou Wang Shaozhou!" It is impossible for this person to go elsewhere to study, and he is also the younger brother of Xijue, the king of the Nonxu Branch.

"Sixth place in the second class, Zhang Mengguan in Zhangzhou, Fujian!" Fujian is indeed powerful, accounting for four of the top nine, and its strength exceeds that of the traditional cultural and educational provinces...... This one is also from Suzhou Fuxue.

"The seventh place in the second class, Sichuan Nanchong Chen Yuma." This is Chen Yiqin's son.

"Eighth place in the second class, Hu Laigong, Laizhou, Shandong!" A student of Yin Shizhan.

"The ninth place in the second class, Nanzhi Suzhou Wang Dingjue!" Wang Xijue's own brother, the Taicang Wang clan is mighty!

"No. 10 in the second grade, Jin Xuezeng in Hangzhou, Zhejiang!" Suzhou Fuxue ......

There are 67 people in the following two categories, including Zhang Wei in Nanchang, Jiangxi, Yu Shenxing in Yanzhou, Shandong, and Zhu Geng in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, among which 39 are from Suzhou Prefecture.

Then there are the three hundred and twenty-three people in the top three, and what is surprising is that Shen Yiyi, one of the top five classics in the examination, actually fell to the top 56 in the top three, and only got a fellow jinshi, which couldn't help but make Shen Mo happy, but also a little regretful.

In the end, the four hundred and three new science and technology scholars were read out, and after a comprehensive analysis, the number of scholars in each province was Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shanxi, Beizhili, Huguang, Shandong, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Henan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou...... The sum of the number of admissions in the top four provinces is greater than that of the remaining 11 provinces combined. In the ranking above the second grade, the three provinces of Nanzhi, Fujian and Zhejiang are even more inclusive.

This is because the division of the scholar is in charge of the quota, that is, the number of children in each province, and there is no list in the Jinshi examination, so the gap between the provinces in terms of economy, culture and education is reflected in this list...... Whether it is the number of people or the ranking, the three southeastern provinces all have an overwhelming advantage.

Among them, the strongest is still Nanzhili...... This is the most developed province that gathers Suzhou, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Huizhou and other cultural and educational resorts, and only Zhejiang can be compared.

Among them, the biggest progress is Fujian, not only in the number of admissions into the top three, but also in the ranking of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, this is mainly because Fujian has always attached importance to culture and education, and is the most benefited from the opening of the sea trade, but also the most open-minded province, they provide a huge amount of sponsorship, all the outstanding children are sent to Suzhou for further study, and in all aspects are not stingy to invest, naturally ushered in a fruitful ...... In the foreseeable future, they will form a strong challenge to the hegemony of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Shanxi's progress is also obvious, there is a sense of catching up, this time there are 34 Chinese, although the ranking of the high rank is still lacking, but for Shanxi, which has a strong business atmosphere and few children, this is already the best that can be done. What's more, they also have Wang Jiaping and other four people entering the second class, which can't be said to be too few.

The number of admission places is limited, and there is naturally a regression if there is progress, and Jiangxi, which has never fallen outside the top three in 200 years, has suddenly slipped to ninth. This is because the economy of the province has lagged behind the above-mentioned provinces, which makes its education investment far from being comparable with Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Jin, and the seedlings of reading are naturally less; However, the most serious impact came from the fall of the Yan Party, and a large number of Jiangxi officials were implicated, delaying the education of a generation of children of official eunuchs. And to put it bluntly, behind this seemingly fair imperial examination, there are still many factors that are inexplicable and unclear. There is no one to speak to you in the court, and there are still people who want to suppress and control you, so naturally don't want to have good results.

However, even so, Jiangxi still showed that eight people including Sè and Zhang Wei ranked second in the high rank, showing their profound heritage. It is believed that it will not be long before Jiangxi will return to its rightful ranking.

As for the three provinces of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou, there are only four Jinshi Chinese in total, and this extremely disparity is also the result of the lack of Han people in these three provinces, the weak rule of the imperial court, and the fact that they are only regarded as a place for distribution and replenishment of the army, and extremely backward in science and education...... In the end, it was the imperial court that tasted this bitter wine, not the officials who read the papers.

It also has to be mentioned that among the 159 prefectures in the country, Suzhou has become an existence against the sky, and its admission score of 35 people in a single prefecture is one more than that of Shanxi Province, which ranks fourth. If you count those from Suzhou Fuxue, there are a total of ninety-seven people, not only including the top three, but also accounting for seventy percent of the number of the second class, what else can you say except for amazement?

After Suzhou is Shaoxing, although it is no longer the prosperity of Bingchenke, but the champion is once again huā fell to Huiji, and there are eleven people in the second class, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with-

Segmentation –

Asking for a monthly ticket, I fell to the third place in history, I really cried to death. You know, for these chapters, I have downloaded dozens of reference books on CNKI alone, and I feel dizzy and nauseous when I see it......

The number of words is enough, and a xiǎo encyclopedia is attached:

In real history, Wuchen Kejinshi has completed any subject since the imperial examination. Wuchen is on the list, there are Zhao Shaoshi (Zhigao), Zhang Shaoshi (bit), Shen Shaoshi (consistent), Zhu Shaobao (Geng), Chen Gongbao (Yu Majesty), Wang Zongbo East Pavilion (Jiaping), Yu Zongbo East Pavilion (Shen Xing), seven prime ministers successively, it is really prosperous. There are also eighteen Shangshu, fifty-two people in Shilang, Zhongcheng, and Sanpin Jingtang. In the seven phases, five people have one product, and two people give one product; In the book, four people have a product, two people give a product, and thirteen people who hit yù, since this system, there has been no prosperity.

The second in place can be regarded as Jiajing Renxu Qiyù, for the young master Shen Shixing, Li Wen, the young master Yu Youding, Wang Xijue, Xiao Daxiang, the young guard Yang Junmin, and the prince Taibao Jida, which can also be compared.

As for Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong's Nake, they are also very strong, and they have a large number of cattle people. And the silent Bingchenke, the history is actually weak, and there is no other reason, high-level players are generally short-lived...... In order to add some help to Xiǎo Shen, I moved a few people from other disciplines, even if it was a butterfly effect.
