The sealing of this volume was originally made by the sealing officer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It's a pity that the Ministry of Rites can't send so many people, so I have to let the inspector do it for me. And these officials of the Ministry of Rites, who were the ones who made the questions before, have now become the reading officers, that is, the proofreading officers, who are specially responsible for transcribing.

With these nearly 20,000 volumes, these officials of the Ministry of Rites are going to cry. Getting up early in the morning and writing in the dark, and writing neatly without smudges is simply the best way to test patience. The Ministry of Rites has already sent nearly 100 officials, big and small, but it took ten days to complete the transcription.

After these papers are copied and proofread, they are handed over to the test officer at the preliminary examination inspection point to check whether there are any "miscellaneous offenders" in the test papers. After confirming that it is correct, it will also be handed over to the re-examination checkpoint test officer, who will start to evaluate the content, style, etc. of the paper, and then rank it comprehensively.

After the re-examination of the checkpoint examination paper is completed, it is not finished, and it has to be handed over to the preliminary examiner for the first examination to judge the excellent, medium, and poor grades. After the preliminary examiner has finished the evaluation, it is the chief examiner's calmness. The power of the examiner has been weakened to the greatest extent. If only a few years ago, he could still dethrone the roll with one hand. Now the preliminary examiner has to watch from the sidelines, and the examiner at the re-examination checkpoint can only be dismissed after discussion. Anyway, after Wen Yanbo read it carefully, he felt that there was nothing wrong, so he let it all go. After all, this tribute test is only the second hurdle, and the real test is on the hurdle of the palace test. Even if the provincial yuan is won in the provincial examination, Dashun has a precedent that the provincial yuan has also been deposed. So saving yuan or something, it's not a guarantee. On the contrary, if you win the provincial yuan, the palace test will be more stressful. If you can't get into the eyes of the emperor in the palace test, it can only plummet and be a laughing stock.

More than 300 people in the Gongyuan worked on the drum for more than 20 days before they finally evaluated the papers that could participate in the palace examination this time, a total of more than 500 copies. This is all because of the sudden increase in the number of Enke candidates this time, so the corresponding number of candidates is also more. In fact, if it weren't for Lu Chengqi's sentence "Make the wild and virtuous", maybe Wen Yanbo would not dare to do this. It was Lu Chengqi's words, Wen Yanbo withstood the pressure, gritted his teeth and expanded the number of scholars to more than 500 people, and only after he really did not miss anything did he dare to open the hospital to unlock it, ready to hold the scroll and go up to the sky.

These days, Lu Chengqi also wondered, why didn't Enke see Gongyuan's movements so slow last time? Could it be that the officials sent so many this time are still too busy?

After 20 days, Lu Chengqi couldn't sit still, and was about to send Gao Hao to the Gongyuan to find out, but the news of the opening of the Gongyuan came. When Lu Chengqi heard the news, he was full of energy. Now he is too short of talents, the development of Jiangnan, not to invest funds, promulgation of a holy decree will be over, but also need really capable talents to manage, in order to build the granary of Dashun. The potential of Jiangnan is much greater than that of the Central Plains. Once Jiangnan is developed into the granary of the whole country, Dashun will not be afraid of war in the north. Even if the battle line is closer, Jiangnan can provide logistical support stably. As long as the soldiers use their lives, the three armies obey the order, and go north to attack Liao, it is not difficult at all. Don't forget, Lu Chengqi is holding a Hongxiang-style rifle and two big killer weapons in his hands. As long as the cavalry is up, where else can the Liao people be rampant?

The longer he has been the emperor, the more Lu Chengqi feels that fighting is making money. Throughout the dynasties, all prosperous and wealthy dynasties have more troops. Take the Northern Song Dynasty in Dashun corresponding to the time and space, the forbidden army alone had 800,000 in the reign of Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Excluding those who are empty, it is estimated that there must be 700,000. Raising 700,000 people, the financial expenditure of the Northern Song Dynasty has not collapsed, which shows its prosperity and wealth. But the Northern Song Dynasty was also unfortunate, the days were too comfortable, which made them forget the danger, lose their blood, lose their courage, and the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army was even more of a joke. Hundreds of thousands of people, but they couldn't defeat tens of thousands of gold soldiers, they were broken through Bianliang, the second emperor was captured, and there were thousands of ministers, harem concubines, and palace maids...... Jing Kang is ashamed, it is still snowing, the courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed! The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was a sudden death, and none of the dynasties came to an abrupt end when the national power reached its peak like the Northern Song Dynasty. This is also the pain of all the Han people in later generations, the great rivers and mountains, but fell under the iron cavalry of the Jin soldiers and were ravaged. By the time the Central Plains was completely recovered, it had been more than 200 years......

The national strength is not good, and no matter how many troops there are, it is just a drag on the imperial court. Only by opening the cornucopia of Jiangnan can Lu Chengqi have the confidence to fight with Liao without damaging too much national strength. Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty shook the desert, but he used all the savings of Wenjingzhizhi. After driving the Xiongnu away, the national strength of the Western Han Dynasty took a sharp turn, which can be seen. Taking history as a mirror, war is always a continuation of politics. Dashun and the Liao State are feuds, just like the heavens, the dynasty and the Wa kingdom do not share the sky, sooner or later they will fight. But if war is to be in its own hands, it must be strong on its own. This strength not only refers to military strength, but also economic strength, cultural strength, and people strength, and more importantly, there needs to be a strong person to lead this dynasty and launch a blow to destroy the country towards the feud.

Gao Hao didn't expect that the little emperor in front of him was stunned when he heard the news of the opening of the hospital, and he called a few times, but he never got a response.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Gao Hao had to raise his voice, and Lu Chengqi finally came back to his senses: "Anyway, is Wen Qing here?" ”

"Your Majesty is like a god, and the governor Wen Yanbo is asking to see him outside the palace." Gao Hao didn't dare to slack off, bowed down, and then said after Lu Chengqi's words.

Lu Chengqi suppressed his "bang" beating heart, and pretended to be calm and said: "Xuan! ”

Gao Hao turned around and shouted: "Xuan Shen Governor Wen Yanbo is here!" ”

With that, Gao Ho bowed and slowly withdrew from the vertical arch hall. After a while, a figure holding a stack of test papers appeared in the bright light. Lu Chengqi's heart was beating up uncompetitively, and so far, everything in his plan has been going smoothly.

"Chen Wen Yanbo, see Your Majesty!"

"No rudeness! Wen Qing, this is the test paper of Enke Province? Lu Chengqi was a little impatient, and immediately spoke.

Wen Yanbo handed over the paper and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it is to take the test paper of the Central Province, there are seven out of five hundred. ”

Lu Chengqi stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay! ”

Wen Yanbo also smiled: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have won a talent." Seven of these five hundred volumes have never been unsealed, and they are all up to His Majesty! ”

Lu Chengqi couldn't hold it, hurriedly took the pile of test papers, his hands trembled slightly, picked up the first paper, looked at the words "Jiayi" written on it, and said in his heart: "I think this is the volume of the provincial yuan, I don't know which lucky guy is the one who took it?" ”

He glanced at this volume and found that its glyphs were acceptable, and the arguments and questions were written in Confucianism and foreign law, which were also in line with Lu Chengqi's intentions, and nodded slightly: "Wen Qing has worked hard, I am very satisfied with this provincial yuan." Then he tore off the envelope gently.
