Chapter 032: Exam Questions That Shake the World

@@@

Zhao Xu recruited only a dozen of the first batch of Yuanfeng Party members to return to Beijing, and most of them were placed in the Taiwan Department as speech officials, this practice is very easy to understand, before you want to do anything, you must first grasp the right to speak, grasp the guidance of public opinion;

Not only that, but what is more beneficial to Taiwanese officials is that they have the power of impeachment, from the prime minister to the petty officials, they all have the right to impeach! Once the impeachment is approved by the emperor, they even have the right to censor the prime minister.

Therefore, these officials are not of high grade, but their power is very great, no matter who wants to govern smoothly, this position must be fought for first! Zhao Xu couldn't have done the right thing.

As soon as Zhang Shangying's proposal was approved by Zhao Xu, he took the officials who had just been transferred back to Beijing and plunged into the official documents and archives of various ministries, working day and night, but the official documents and archives of various departments of the imperial court in the past nine years were so vast that once they plunged into it, they could not get out in the short term.

Li Qingchen became a cocoon again, and he was recommended to be the chief examiner of Enke, but looking around, all the deputy examiners were Yuan You's old party, and these days, Li Qingchen basically didn't say a word to them unless he needed it for official business.

Several deputy examiners always gathered together, whispering, occasionally glancing at Li Qingchen, who was almost dismissive of them.

Li Qingchen is a Qing Gao, because of Qing Gao, when Wang Anshi was in charge of the government, although he agreed with the new law, he did not squeeze into the new party, otherwise with his talent and champion background, the official position would definitely rise rapidly; It is precisely because of Qing Gao that when Sima Guang was in power, he knew that he could not do anything, but he still fought hard with his own body and never compromised!

When the time came, Li Qingchen coughed lightly and said, "The time has come, please come over and check whether the sealing paint of the exam paper is intact!" ”

Several deputy examiners came over together, carefully checked the seal, and after making sure that no one had touched it, they took out the exam papers, but when they saw the exam questions clearly, several deputy examiners suddenly changed color, and a deputy examiner named Qian Tong lost his voice and said: "How can this be?" How can this be ......?"

He muttered the phrase as if he had demented, and the others looked at the exam questions, some like Qian Tong, others with anger.

Li Qingchen's face was not shocked, and he said lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the hour is not early, this is Your Majesty's personal government, if something goes wrong, I am afraid that you adults will not be able to afford it, come on!" Send the exam questions now! ”

As the so-called road is narrow, Yang Yi's examination house happened to be face to face with Yin Zhuo, and when the two of them walked over from the passage together, Yang Yi smiled and said: "Yin Caizi, do you want to gamble again today?" Of course, if something like that happens like Yixiangyuan again, I'm afraid that Yin Caizi will have no face to stay in Tokyo, so it's better to be like this, the list will be released in the coming day, and whoever is ranked behind will go to Fengle Building to take a table! Just invite the two leaders of Tokyo City to accompany you, Yin Caizi, what do you think? ”

At the mention of Yixianglou, Yin Zhuo suddenly had a feeling of smoke from all over the world, but he quickly calmed down, snorted coldly and said, "Surnamed Yang, you don't have to provoke me so much, what else will you do besides these conspiracies?" ”

"It's not a conspiracy, if Brother Yin is so angry that he can't meditate on the exam, I advise Brother Yin to go home as soon as possible, officialdom is much more sinister than this!" Yang Yi saw that Yin Yan was not provoked, and immediately changed his words, as if he sincerely considered Yin Yan's life safety.

Yin Yi's heart moved, and he didn't refute it immediately, no matter whether Yang Yi's mind was good or bad, but what he said was really reasonable, he faced Yang Yi several times, although he didn't lose to the liver fire, but arrogance and contempt for the enemy definitely accounted for a big reason, thinking of this, he glanced back at Yang Yi again, and said: "A gentleman's word!" ”

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

Yang Yi really wanted to provoke Yin Yan at first, but he didn't expect this person to be young, and he was quite good at cultivating kung fu, he was not stimulated, and he really agreed to this gamble, although Yang Yi did not have the certainty of winning this time, but even if he lost, it was just a banquet, and the problem that money could solve was not a problem!

Both of them smiled faintly and entered their own examination houses.

Soon the test questions were sent down, and Yang Yi couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it, this test question was very long:

Today's compound word is the choice of endowment, and the scholar does not know how to persuade, the official of Changping, and the farmer does not increase the wealth, but the difference can be raised, and the service law disease, or the east or the north of the argument, and the river is troubled, the land is given to the soft distance, and the trouble of Qiangyi has not been eliminated, and the relaxation is convenient for the people, and the road of the merchant is not passable. Fu Ke is because of it, otherwise it is revolutionary, but it should be precious, and the saint must not be necessary! ,

In the vernacular, it means:

Since the Yuanyou imperial examination has resumed to be dominated by poetry and songs, the selected talents have no ability to govern; The abolition of the Seedlings Law, the Chang Ping and other institutions that benefit the people have not been improved, making the people even more difficult;

The court council law is good or bad, and it has been fruitless for many years, and it has made a mess; The Yellow River was diverted, and whether it should be diverted back to the east or along it to the north was debated without a result, causing floods every year;

ceded land to curry favor with the Western Xia, but the result was counterproductive, and the Western Xia became more arrogant and repeatedly violated the border; The abandonment of tax profits is said to be convenient for the people, but industry and commerce are stagnant and declining;

Things in the world, what works can be continued, but what is bad must be that there is something wrong with the policy, and it must be changed, only the policy that suits the situation is pragmatic, and when the sage does things, he must stick to the old rules.

Yang Yi looked at this exam question, and couldn't help but feel emotional, not so much that this was an exam question, it was better to say that it was an atomic bomb, an atomic bomb thrown at Yuanyou's old party.

The examination questions themselves criticize the policies of the old party of Yuan You during the period of the old party from the aspects of imperial examinations, government decrees, service laws, river governance, diplomacy, and the relaxation of salt and iron prohibitions, and completely deny them, just like Li Tang negated Yang Sui and Manchu Qing denied Zhu Ming.

Yang Yi was almost immediately sure that this was Zhao Xu's own exam question, at least it was also instructed by him, otherwise another person would not dare to do this, Zhao Xu wanted to pass this exam question and announce his policy program to the whole world!

And once this total negation is established, what will happen to those Yuanyu Party members in the court at present?

I don't want to know!

When Yang Yi's heart was still fluctuating, Yin Zhuo in the examination house opposite suddenly stood up, walked out of the examination room with a white roll, and glanced at Yang Yi with a blind eye, Yang Yi replied with an indifferent smile!

"Encore is fighting for fame like this?"

Originally, the needle drop could be heard in the examination room, Yin Zhuo got up, and then pushed the door out, and the movement had already caused the candidates to poke their heads out of the examination room, he proudly dropped this sentence and immediately handed in the white paper!

Heroes!

O fighter of truth!

Most of the old-fashioned students who have been cultivated in the past nine years are old-fashioned students, and they are also angry when they see the exam questions, but no one has the courage to stand up, and now, with extremely enthusiastic and adoring eyes, they watched Yin Yingying walk step by step to the room where the examiner was.

"Brother Yin! Remember, only villains will break their promises and get fat! ”

Yang Yi suddenly exhaled softly, making Yin Yan, who was walking proudly, stumble under his feet and almost fell!

"What a noise! Don't know the rules of the exam room? ”

The invigilator appeared at the right time, and Yang Yi quickly retracted his head, covered his mouth and laughed! Yin Zhuo! Before you want to be a hero, you have to think about the price! Damn, I knew this earlier, wouldn't it be nice to start the world's No. 1 gamble just now! These are just two of them! Less!

The other candidates were inspired by Yin Yao's feats, although they did not follow Yin Zhuo to hand in the blank papers, but chose another way of fighting, they one by two high-spirited pen books, dictionaries, thousands of words in the pen, began to refute and denounce the exam questions enthusiastically.

Yang Yi was too lazy to care about these, leisurely polished the ink, and thought about it for a while, and then put pen to paper: In the past dynasties, with the passage of time, there will often be a situation where the land is increased and the tax is reduced.

Clear the land, expand the area of collection, and make the tax relatively equal;

Unified servitude, the levy will be attributed to the land, the mu will be levied, the forced service will be changed to hired servitude, and the government will uniformly draw money from the tax to hire people to serve on behalf of the government, limit harshness, and make the tax tend to be stable;

The collection of silver per mu is settled, and the collection method is more complete.

Yang Yi's answer sheet is not very many, and he did not directly bombard the gains and losses of Yuan Youjian's administration, and he did not discuss who was right and who was wrong in the past, but put forward his own suggestions on the tax service law according to the actual situation.

Of course, since the change is proposed, this is also tantamount to an indirect statement and a denial of the Yuanyu party's conformist way of governance!

Yang Yi understands that the last article of levying silver per mu may be a little impractical in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is somewhat difficult to implement, Yang Yi is deliberate, because he is a candidate, and he is making a imperial examination question, not the prime minister is formulating a policy strategy!

Let people see that you draw the knife, but also don't let people see where your blade is, perhaps, this effect will be better!

Yang Yi is the second to hand in the papers, and this is also the first time he has met Li Qingchen face to face!

Li Qingchen is about sixty years old, with a thin face, a long beard under his chin, and his eyes are very clear and profitable!

In order to prevent cheating, the imperial examination of the Great Song Dynasty implemented a system of transcription of names and names, and the examiner could not read the content of the candidates' answer sheets before the transcription of the candidates' answers.

But Yang Yi handed over the paper so quickly, Li Qingchen couldn't help but look at him deeply!

Yang Yi smiled faintly, he didn't have any special feelings of closeness to Li Qingchen, let alone the kind of family affection for the Yang family, which was thicker than water, and after a gentle stroke, Yang Yi quietly retreated!
