The big exam is over, but the judgment has just begun. These students who took the additional examination were Weng Tongyi and Rong Hong who selected the best students in their own side among the many test papers, but after such a test in the classroom, the difference between the students on both sides was immediately apparent.

The students of the University Hall have an extremely accurate grasp of arithmetic, humanities, and geography, and even the human feelings are much stronger than those of the Gongshi. However, most of the traditional strategies, ancient sayings, allusions, and poems, except for a very small number of people, are much worse than those of the tributes. However, they all have a relatively clear understanding of the official position they have chosen, and they at least have a clear goal and method for what they want to do after they can take up this office, and even if they choose to become a mine supervisor, they also know what they are going to do. In contrast, the tributes were far behind. The article is really full of flowers, the words are exquisite, the words are clear, the sentences have sources, and the rhyme is catchy and catchy, and it sounds very beautiful. Just, what did he say? There are the languages of the sages everywhere, can it be that a county can be governed by the words of these sages? When the face gentleman played the right game, he really wrote a thousand words, and there was really no plan in his chest.

Looking at Rong Hong, who had a smug look on his face, Weng Tongyi was full of shame. In the examination of this subject, the questions and answers are focused on the specific administrative methods of the first term of office, focusing on practical knowledge, and the traditional knowledge is barely mentioned at length, which creates an illusory picture of students in the university hall shining brightly. But Weng Tongyi also had to admit that the students he valued, those tributes under traditional education, seemed to know nothing about the governance of the family and the country, except for the rich and noble, and the mighty and unyielding style. Weng Tongyi thought about it for a long time, and decided to stand up and play: "Your Majesty." After this attempt, Chen deeply felt that the students of the Gongyuan Academy could not be of great use. The minister asked the Ministry of Rites to serve and asked the people of Rongda to teach the knowledge of the students of the world. Please also ask the emperor for permission. ”

"Master Weng, why is this?" Guangxu also raised his head in surprise and asked, "I think the tributes are also very good?" ”

Wechen was ashamed. The minister carefully looked at the scrolls of the Gongshi and the students of the University Hall, and then he understood. Most of these scholars take it for granted that they govern the place, and they all think about governing the people of the world according to the things in the books, don't they know that there are limitations to learning, and the feasible truth of a thousand years ago may be a joke now. The entire Qing Dynasty is advancing bravely and vigorously with each passing day, but they are still in the pile of old papers. ”

Master Weng refutated. You see that the tributes are not as good as the university halls, but you don't see the merits of the tributes. ”

"Pros?" Even Li Hongzhang shook his head a little painfully: "The old minister is ashamed." The priests asked how they did not know how to deal with the drought. I don't know how to appease the people when they encounter the people's uprising, they only know how to ask for help, and they don't know anything about people's livelihood and food...... The ignorant are fearless. These people do not understand that learning alone cannot govern the people. They are afraid that all they have left is full of loyalty to the country. ”。

Guangxu asked everyone to stop what they were doing before and said: "In the past, China could be described as a dominant country, and countries near and far respected China as the superior country. In this way, China, which has no foreign enemies, naturally uses the Celestial Empire as its own game, which means that a small fortune is peace. Under such conditions. There will be officials like Gongshi. It is true that it is as Master Weng said. They will not bring good to the locality, but they will not bring harm either, and the land they rule will not change for eight hundred years. But China today is very different from what it used to be. The former Celestial Empire is far away, not to mention that Britain, Russia, Germany, and France are aggressive towards China and China, and even little Japan dares to jump out and provoke China. Isn't it because we're lagging behind? So now we need officials who can have skills and can lead the people to prosperity and strength, so that we can catch up with the great powers. Since there is this premise, these tributes who are content with the status quo are naturally out of place. In contrast, the students in the university hall are also prominent. They have ideals and ambitions. They also have confidence and solutions. For China now, they are indeed some urgently needed talents. But they have a fatal heel. It is precisely because they want to realize their ideals that they have **. Young talents. Naturally bold and bold, but less sophisticated. It may fall into the hands of those who are good at calculating without knowing it. Therefore, the students of the university hall need someone to remind them, and the people who remind them, I see that Gongshi is the best choice. ”

Guangxu took a sip of tea, and then said: "The tributes have always asked for themselves as gentlemen. Heavy to week, so do not slack; Light to the covenant, so people are happy to be good. Peak cutting and reclamation, with great courage to overcome stubbornness, with a big mind to meet the world. These people inherited the spirit of the former Ming literati, who took the well-being of the people of the world as their own responsibility, dared to speak, dare to speak, dare to discern, and rose to the occasion. They are poor and self-controlled, and these are the best candidates for imperial history and speech. You can let them inspect the discipline of the world and supervise the illegal things of hundreds of officials. It can be said that it is the best partner for students in the university hall. Besides, the edicts, documents, and wills of the imperial court need to be edicted to the world in written form, and such people are also very useful, although they can't be the chief official, but as a staff member, they are still good. No matter how bad it is, he returned to his hometown to teach knowledge as a teacher. Although he can't teach arithmetic and physics, he is much better at teaching Chinese studies than university students. They have a strong backbone, let them be teachers and pass on their style and bones to the next generation. Wealth can not be lewd, mighty can not bend, Qu Zi has the anger to ask the sky, Yan Hui has the strength of drinking, these are the foundation of China based on the forest of the world. With these people, I will not worry about the loss of conscience when the west wind is blowing eastward, and with them, the people can stick to the bottom line of morality. I think these people can still be of great use. Guangxu sighed inwardly, he understood how terrible the Chinese who had lost their integrity since the Cultural Revolution.

"The emperor is wise." Li Hongzhang was the first to kneel on the ground: "The minister congratulates China for having such a bright emperor as an emperor." ”

"The ministers are congratulated by China, and our emperor is shengming." All the ministers bowed down in unison.

"What you say is useless, if people in 500 years still say that I am a saint, I will be considered a true saint. It's okay if Master Weng wants to go to the Ministry of Rites, and then he will be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites after the year. Don't learn the way of the university hall, and arrest the Guozijian. Take the wind and bones as a knowledge, and ask for it. Let them hold their last conscience for this restless world. ”

In the court, they expressed their opinions in order to judge the merits of students. Outside the palace gate, the students were even more discussed. On the night of the end of the temple examination, there was an endless quarrel. Not to mention that after the students who finished the additional examination came back and told their experience of the additional examination, the loud discussion spread into the palace.

What do you mean by me being an official? How do I know who I will be assigned? If I write, if I am a prime minister, is it okay? The students waiting for the results turned the whole inn upside down, when they knew that there was really a question about me as the prime minister. But I really admire the courage of this person, and most of them choose to be the magistrate. The topics this year are really strange, and I suddenly found that the four books and five classics that I had studied hard for ten years were useless. What they learn is the words of the ancients, and they are all used to educate the place. But they were asked how to provide disaster relief, how to farm, and how to control floods...... And so on and so forth. At first, they questioned that the imperial court deliberately raised the university hall in order to cancel the imperial examination, and then thought about it carefully, isn't the participation in the imperial examination of the Four Books and Five Classics they studied to benefit the people of either side? But I don't know how to provide disaster relief, how to farm, and how to benefit the people. This is indeed a problem.

Something went wrong and I didn't know how to deal with it. Now there's something really wrong. The idea that the Gongshi had insisted on was shocked, but they didn't know what to do. The controversy between the old and the new schools finally unfolded on a large scale in the scholarly circle, spreading from the capital to the localities. New learning, old learning. The debate over which is better and which is worse has begun to fill the world. Not only the old newspapers such as "Shi Ji Bao" and "Bao Bao" in Shanghai, but also the newly opened "Beijing Daily" in Beijing, "Yangcheng Daily" in Guangzhou, and so on, have joined the dispute between the old and the new. Every day in the newspapers there are lists published by the old and new schools, explaining the merits of their own schools and criticizing the shortcomings of other schools.

The quarrels in the circle of scholars did not affect the lives of ordinary people. For them, the illiterate people. Knowledge that can produce a little more grain, can produce one more product, and can make a little more money is good learning.

The emperor list is out. As expected, there are more students on the list. However, the champion of the new department is Gongshi Tan Sitong, and his examination paper "If I am the Prime Minister" is also displayed, which seems to give the old Gongshi a little confidence. And Kang Youwei, who was far away in Shanghai, was so excited that he didn't sleep all night after learning the content of Tan Sitong's exam papers. He had already packed his belongings, and he thought it was time for the emperor to summon him. Kang Youwei waited patiently for Tan Sitong to return to Shanghai, but was shattered by Tan Sitong's enthusiasm when the emperor's words were relayed. All hat and no cattle. It was the emperor's evaluation of him. But he also heard that the emperor had actually been paying attention to him and examining him. He was determined to make the "Shi Ji Bao" bigger and better to prove himself to the emperor.

The big examination of the Qing Kingdom attracted the attention of all the Chinese people, but it could not attract the attention of foreigners, who were more realistic and interested in interests. Britain, China, France, Germany, and the West have been searching in the South China Sea for more than half a month, but there is still no result. Where did all that tens of millions of pounds go? Someone finally calmed down and analyzed the whole incident, first of all, who came out that there would be 50 million pounds? After careful investigation, there are results, which are from Shanghai, and those porters who have participated in the transmission of the results, so how do these workers know? Nobody knows, that's how everyone spreads. The clue is broken again, so where is it most likely to be delivered? It is impossible for pirates to squander these treasures at once, and they have not heard of a large amount of wealth suddenly appearing somewhere, so the greatest possibility is that it is hidden, where will it be hidden? A young British sailor said: "Former plundering ships will sink treasures that cannot be taken away from the bottom of the sea." It's a good idea, and it's backed by facts. So the British Navy began to send a large number of divers to the South Seas.

"Mr. Governor, I don't know if you've heard. The treasure may have sunk to the bottom of the sea, and now the British have sent countless divers to search the area. Viv walked into the office and whispered.

"Really? Then let them search, the damned Brits can't find anything. Karl handed a report to his deputy, Viv, and smiled as the freighter was busy on the sea outside the window. As the Dutch governor of East Indonesia, Karl was proud. Although the former coachmen of the sea and the number one power on the sea have declined, their ancestors have left them a wealth of wealth. Right now, the increasingly busy port is seeing all this.

Jakarta is a famous city with a long history. Hundreds of years ago, it was already a famous seaport for the export of pepper and spices, called Sunda Galaba, which means "land of coconut groves", or "the world of coconut groves". In 1527, the Muslim chieftains led the Indonesian people to defeat the fleet of Portuguese colonists and regain Gondagaraba and renamed it Jayagarda, which means "City of Victory" and "Fortress of Glory", from which the name of Jakarta evolved. The Chinese call it "Coconut Jarda" or "Coconut City". After 1596, the Dutch colonialists ruled Indonesia, taking on the Dutch alias "Batavia". In 1800, Indonesia became part of the Netherlands, known as the "Dutch East Indies", and Batavia became the base camp for the Dutch colonists to exploit and enslave Indonesia. And at this moment, in the Indonesian Governor's Palace in the center of Batavia, a Viv exclaimed: "It turned out to be Pontianak." ”

Pontianak is a good place, and a third of the people here are Chinese. Even Chinese who don't speak Indonesian, especially Teochew and Hakka, come here like coming home. Half of the Chinese here speak Teochew and half Hakka. As for the diet, the main food is noodles, kuay teow, rice noodles, etc., but the people here generally eat spicy and salty. Kajang is located right in the center of Pontianak City, which is divided into two parts, with the city on one side and the suburbs on the other. With the strengthening of the development progress of the Qing Kingdom, Pontianak became more and more closely connected with the country. Not only did the imperial court begin to recruit soldiers among the Chinese in Pontianak, but also many Chinese children returned to China to study, especially after the Qing victory over Russia, this drum trend also became bigger and bigger, and now the Pacific Freight Company has opened a daily regular route from Guangzhou, Shanghai, Tianjin to Pontianak for people and goods. The trade of industry and commerce also increased with the increase in the flow of people, which led to the loss of the original port of Pontianak. As a result, the Pontianak Chinese joint venture built another wharf on the north bank of the river that could dock 10,000-ton cargo ships.

Judging from the contents of the secret report, it is most likely that the missing British treasure is indeed in Pontianak. Late at night the day after the incident, a 10,000-ton Pacific Cargo company cargo ship docked at a new terminal on the north shore of Pontianak. Nearly 3,000 workers, all Chinese, gathered here to carry supplies from a 10,000-ton cargo ship by the faint light of oil lamps before the sun rose. In the early morning of the third day, the 10,000-ton cargo ship began to load normally. No one knows what was unloaded from the cargo ship, but the only thing that was certain was the long and square boxes. Moreover, after these boxes were unloaded, they were immediately dispersed to areas where Chinese gathered, such as Yamaguchiyang and Samfa, and some even went to Sarawak.

"If these chests are not treasures, what else can they be?" Viv couldn't think of anything else that needed to be carried out so secretly: "But how can we get them all back if they have been scattered?" ”

"All of them have been recovered, so how are we going to explain to the British? I can't even explain it to myself. So why get them all back? As he spoke, Karl raised an eyebrow and gestured to Viv with something you understand.

How could Vief not understand that they were all recovered, even if they didn't need to explain to the British, they had to explain to the Queen of the Netherlands. Only if you can't get it all back, can you gain fame and fortune. So Viv said with some embarrassment: "Yes, the treasure is too scattered, and it is impossible to get it all back." Let's do our best. With that, both of them laughed.

"Go and bring back all the fleets that are searching for them and let them station in Pontianak. The Chinese are getting rich again, so let the natives also be active. ”

A cool sea blew in his face, calming Carl, who was hot inside. Karl laughed, what a fertile land, he brought countless riches to the Netherlands. Now that another astonishing fortune was about to fall into his hands, he believed that when he returned home with this treasure, his title would rise even further. (To be continued......) u
