If it was the Yuan Shou period, this plan would definitely be attacked by the Manchu civil officials with concentrated firepower, saying what to say "competing with the people for profit". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBut during the Hongxiang years, which had undergone commercial development, there was no such thing. Joint-stock business has long been popular among the people, and Feng Jing has also heard of it: "Your Majesty's move should be possible." It's just that the charter needs to be perfected, and efforts are still needed. ”

"It's okay, it will be jointly audited by the Ministry of Households and the three divisions, and it is necessary to ensure that the interests of the businessmen are sufficient." Lu Chengqi said with a smile, "I can't wait for the benefits of river transportation, I only value food!" Once the canal is dug up, not only can the flooding of the Yellow River be alleviated, but also Chang'an can be made to the south of the Yangtze River, but it is only 20 days away. In addition, everything needs to be prepared with both hands, and I have already asked people to prepare grain for shipping, from Suzhou and Songjiang Mansion to the Bohai Sea in the north, into the Yellow River and to Jingzhao. ”

Lu Chengqi had already made preparations with both hands, and Feng Jing admired: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, and it is indeed a benevolent gentleman!" ”

"Feng Qing also knows that I don't like sycophants, I need to listen to the truth. Only this once, not for example! ”

Lu Chengqi laughed and embarrassed Feng Jing enough.

"The minister dared to ask Your Majesty, in addition to Jiangnan and the canal, is there a new deal?" Although Feng Jing didn't know Lu Chengqi's temperament, he was meticulous and determined that Lu Chengqi definitely had a backhand.

Lu Chengqi was not afraid to confess to him: "Feng Qing thinks, how is my Dashun talent system?" ”

"Your Majesty wants to revolutionize the imperial examination?" Although Feng Jing was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback, "Why does Your Majesty have such an idea?" ”

Lu Chengqi said seriously: "Now Dashun is thriving, it can be said that it is changing with each passing day, and new things are emerging in endlessly. I have been in the imperial examination, although I have a department to assist, but it is only a drop in the bucket. There is a folk saying that 'half of the treatise rules the world', which can be described as a fallacy. The Analects is a classic, and the Four Books and the Five Classics are also books for teaching all peoples. I know that Feng Qing's compilation of "Hongxiang Dadian" is nearing completion. This is a great good deed, so why not use it? ”

Feng Jing was shocked for a long time before he said slowly: "Your Majesty's intention, in the future, the imperial examination questions will be taken from the "Hongxiang Grand Canon"?" ”

"The topic is uncertain, and the "Hongxiang Grand Canon" is added to it, but only water conservancy, farming, business, architecture, utensils, and mathematics are examined, and medicine, astronomy, divination, geography, monkhood, skills, yin and yang...... All in all, as long as it is a study of the world, those who can benefit all the people can also be tested. ”

Feng Jing smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty's move is too shocking, if it is not appropriate, it can cause chaos in the world!" ”

Lu Chengqi also knew about this, but he still felt that the imperial examination must be reformed, and muttered: "I just think about it, even if the imperial examination is not examined, the system can also be examined." ”

Feng Jingzheng said: "Your Majesty, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and it can only be tasted if it is simmered slowly." It's too hasty, and you can't get there! ”

Lu Chengqi also knows that those who are so happy often end up tragically. In the official history, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, three expeditions to Goryeo, digging canals, building the eastern capital, moving the capital to Luoyang, abusing the people's power, causing frequent changes in the people, causing chaos in the world, and finally ruining the country. Although there is a lot of contribution from the family gate, but later there is also a Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, who is also ambitious, bound to drive out the Mongols and frequently launch wars, if it were not for a diligent father Zhu Yuanzhang who laid a solid foundation, plus there is a financial master Hubu Shangshu Xia Yuanji demolished the east wall to make up the west wall, the Ming Dynasty would have collapsed long ago.

A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future. It is impossible for Lu Chengqi to rashly start a war regardless of national strength.

War is always a continuation of politics.

Now it has entered the period of the Xiaoice River, and the north is a land of ice and snow, and no one can survive there. The grassland people who chased the water and grass to the south were eyeing the Central Plains outside, and how to avoid a big war and not hurt the country's foundation was what Lu Chengqi valued the most. Nowadays, the Jurchens, Khitans, and Mongols are all ready to move, and there are many horse bandits on the border, in fact, they are all foreign races who can't get along and are looting, so that the fields are closed, and there is no army present, they don't dare to open at all, and they have even entered the city of Danzhou Prefecture to trade, and they don't dare to go outside the Great Wall.

In the field outside the Great Wall, only in Yunnei Prefecture, there is a group of elite soldiers led by Zhekexing, and no horse bandits dare to come.

It's just sticking to it, it's not a long-term solution!

Lu Chengqi had a hunch that a big war would break out soon, the grassland people would survive, and the Han people would defend their homeland, which were already on two opposite sides, depending on whose force was stronger.

Of course, it was impossible to say this plan to Feng Jing, and he wouldn't believe it. This is not Lu Chengqi's judgment alone, but the conclusion reached by the Supervision Department after synthesizing all the reports of undercover agents. If it is preached, it will have to shake the world.

The reform of the imperial examination or something, but it is just a small road, used to cover the eyes of civil officials, divert their attention, and act in secret.

What Lu Chengqi cares about is always the existence of the Han people. The lessons of the Northern Song Dynasty are still vivid. Driven by the bitter cold temperatures, the grassland people, whose will to survive is much stronger than that of the Han people, will go south, south, and then again. In the face of survival, in the face of knives and guns, cultural resistance is extremely powerless.

"Can the steppe people be integrated into the Han people?"

In Lu Chengqi's heart, there was a bold idea, but now there is still friction between the Jurchens and the Khitans, and the Liao State is still strong and cannot be underestimated, so Lu Chengqi does not dare to let go of it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

Seeing that Lu Chengqi had already wandered out of the world, Feng Jing cautiously called twice.

"Oh, I'm distracted. By the way, where did you just go? ”

Feng Jing didn't want to continue the topic of the imperial examination, and if he agreed, he would definitely be regarded as an outlier by the civil officials, and he would be targeted at his resignation.

"Your Majesty, I just said that 'governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh'."

Lu Chengqi looked at him meaningfully, and said slowly: "Yes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it." Feng Qing advised, and I wrote it down. Nowadays, Dashun, the national strength is thriving, although it is a good thing, but it cannot be prevented. ”

Feng Jing was stunned: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what should you guard against?" ”

"Aliens die and my heart will not die!" Lu Chengqi slapped a piece of music on the dragon case with a dark face, and said angrily, "There are already many border horse bandits, if this continues, the Khitans will not get tea cloth from the field, and they will definitely sharpen their knives and commit crimes in the south again!" ”

Feng Jing was dumbfounded: "This ...... This...... Your Majesty, this cannot be appeased! ”

What are civil officials most afraid of? It's just a very unreasonable steppe people. They grew up eating meat, and they were much stronger than the vegetarian Han people (at this time, everyone despised pork and only ate mutton, but there was very little mutton, and they rarely ate fish, and it was even more illegal to eat beef, so the Han people were not tall, around 1.5 meters to 1.6, and their bodies were weak, and they were not the opponents of the nomads). Although they dressed like savages, they were victorious, and the Han Chinese army was often crushed at the slightest touch.

Of course, this was already a matter of Yuan Shou, but Feng Jing was a person of that era, and when he thought of the Khitans, he trembled, and he was afraid of being beaten without him. Because of this, there were so many main factions in the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty in the official history.

"I also want to, it's just that these horse bandits come and go without a trace, and it's very difficult to exterminate them......," Lu Chengqi said so, in fact, he had long wanted to transfer the forbidden army to the past, occupy the Liao State, and come to a great integration of ethnic groups, see that you are all Dashun people, you have to eat and wear, you have cattle and sheep grazing, see if you still can't do things!
