A group of scholars were in the Baohe Palace, holding back the questions and answering questions for a whole day, until the evening unitary hour, and then handed in the papers. Next, Zhu Youxiao was forced to suffer, holding a bunch of papers, and went back to the Heart Cultivation Hall to read the papers!

You can't be lazy about this kind of thing. After all, it is the talent that is selected by itself, and there is a real lack of talent now.

However, it is still possible to let the celebrant mark some of them, such as the first question.

The eunuchs of the celebrant eunuch read all the papers, but if they didn't pass the first question, they all went down, and Zhu Youxiao didn't even read it.

The people who were swept down were all reactionaries, and they stayed where they were cool. It's okay to be an official in the future, but only idle positions will not give them any real power, and even officials will not let them be officials.

After the papers were screened, Zhu Youxiao was surprised to find that there were only more than 100 copies left.

"This ......" Zhu Youxiao could only be silent after a dumbfounded groan, it seems that there are really many scholars from the industrial and commercial class.

Some have vital interests, while others are brainwashed by public opinion.

Of course, they were all quite backbone, and the emperor asked them if it was right to levy commercial taxes, so he wrote down his objections and broke out a lot of big truths. In fact, Zhu Youxiao has long been accustomed to these truths, and it is nothing more than a few routines to fall asleep, and this group of rookies who have just entered the career are still a little tender.

"It's good that there are only more than 100 questionnaires, which saves a lot of effort." Zhu Youxiao immediately thought freely, a little Ah Q, he also wants to get more talents, these scholars are not very cooperative, what can be done. I can only Ah Q for a while.

Immediately, Zhu Youxiao plunged into the marking work. The reason why I personally read the papers. In general, I am not at ease, and I am afraid that I will miss some talents. After all, Enke was sorted out with great fanfare, and talent was still leaking from under his nose, which was a huge loss.

After reading the papers, Zhu Youxiao was very devoted.

In the questions they answered, these scholars had all kinds of ideas and plans, most of which were relatively ordinary or even unfeasible. But it still gave Zhu Youxiao a lot of inspiration.

The whole brain is constantly in a state of thinking. Before I knew it, it was the middle of the night, and I couldn't help stretching.

"Your Majesty, you'd better rest early! It's five quarters now. The little eunuch Yang Guang saw Zhu Youxiao stop a little on the side, so he suggested: "The master of the imperial dining room has prepared mutton medicinal soup for you, why don't you go and pass a bowl of slaves?" ”

"Alright! Go get something to eat, and I'll read a few more rolls by the way. Zhu Youxiao nodded, looked at a large number of papers, and was a little dizzy for a while. But let's take a few more looks!

After a while, the imperial meal was delivered.

Because it's winter. The stomach is yang, and the digestive ability is enhanced, so it is a good time to take supplements. The imperial chefs in the imperial dining room changed their tricks every day to make medicinal food tonics for Zhu Youxiao. Because Zhu Youxiao insists on exercising now, and the imperial chef in the imperial dining room is very attentive to nutrition matching, his physique has become much stronger.

When it comes to nutrition, Chinese medicine is obviously the real expert. Because the word 'nutrition' is the term of traditional Chinese medicine. The understanding of nutrition in Chinese medicine is that all kinds of proteins, vitamins and other things are classified as Yingqi, and after being involved, they are combined with natural Qingqi (oxygen for breathing) to biochemical into Weiqi (immune system), Zongqi and so on.

The most direct difference is that Western medicine believes that local chickens and feed chickens only have protein, while the Chinese see the existence of qi. Whether it is the taste or the feeling of tonic after eating, it is completely different.

Of course, the nutritional system of Westerners also has certain advantages, that is, the protein and vitamins are divided into relatively fine things, but the overall situation is obviously not good, and the system of Western medicine is like a building block, and the system theory is very low-level.

Zhu Youzheng was about to stop and drink a bowl of mutton soup, but suddenly his hand shook, and he suddenly couldn't care about any mutton soup. Because he saw the words 'Lu Xiangsheng'.

Lu Xiangsheng turned out to be Lu Xiangsheng. Zhu Youxiao looked at the scroll in his hand and couldn't help but widen his eyes. Lu Xiangsheng was a famous existence in the history of the late Ming Dynasty! This can be described as the first fierce man among civil officials, and he is definitely a young Zhuang official with both civil and military skills.

To explain that the most capable civilian official in the end of the army is Lu Xiangsheng. Hong Chengchou and these people are not as good as Lu Xiangsheng. If Hong Chengchou is an opportunist, then Lu Xiangsheng belongs to the 'powerful faction', when the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, Lu Xiangsheng relied on the bravery and courage of the pioneers to defeat the thieves one after another.

In history, Lu Xiangsheng was definitely a resolute main battle faction, and when Chongzhen enabled Lu Xiangsheng to become the secretary of the military department, he won the war against Jiannu. But he was framed and dismissed from the post of Shangshu.

In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the customs again and plundered, Chongzhen moved Lu Xiangsheng out and asked him to be the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, but Lu Xiangsheng was restricted, and only 20,000 troops could be mobilized. Lu Xiangsheng led 20,000 soldiers and horses out of the station and was surrounded by the Qing army. The other Ming troops were unable to save them at this time, and Lu Xiangsheng died in battle.

To sum up, talents like Lu Xiangsheng died of political exclusion. And it is likely that Jiannu colluded with Jin merchants behind his back to bribe officials from the DPRK and China to squeeze out Lu Xiangsheng.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Such a talent is exactly what Zhu Youxiao needs most at present.

In fact, there were talents at the end of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they were used well and there were fewer political attacks and struggles, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to perish. The Ming Dynasty was actually played to death by its own people, so that those who had the ability could not give full play to their talents, and when they played a little, they were stifled by the general trend.

It is equivalent to a good hand, which was discarded by Chongzhen. His suspicion, his ignorance, and brainlessness could not cope with the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so that he created the situation of the final collapse of the country.

"Your Majesty, let's eat first!" Yang Guang suggested in a low voice. Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, stared at the scroll intently, and said, "Put the mutton soup first, and I'll eat it later." ”

Lu Xiangsheng's first question was answered decently. It's just to talk about what I saw and heard in Beizhili. It is felt that the commercial tax has been levied on the North Naoli. People's livelihood is much better than in other provinces. Therefore, it is in favor of a commercial tax.

What really stands out is the question of foreign wars. Lu Xiangsheng proposed that 'the weak and the strong eat is the law of heaven and earth', if the Ming Dynasty expands outward and invades a small nation, there is nothing wrong with it, just like a fisherman fishing and a hunter hunting, 'born to kill, there is no reason to only live and not kill'.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng proposed. Hunters hunt and fishermen fish for survival, but if they kill and torture wild beasts and fish indiscriminately not for the sake of hunger, it is an act that is detrimental to yin morality.

In the end, Lu Xiangsheng concluded that it is possible to launch external expansion, and the fight on the battlefield will not damage yin virtue and cause any karma. But you must not slaughter captives who have not resisted, nor do you commit adultery with women, as these are acts that are detrimental to yin morality.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao was extremely satisfied. What he feared the most. Once it expands outward, those civil servants are stupid to read. will be pedantic to reason with the barbarians.

The Chinese doctrine is something that transcends the law of 'the weak eat the strong', and it is something that cultivators pursue, but it is completely inapplicable to foreign policy.

Lu Xiangsheng's answer, Zhu Youxiao directly gave a full score in his heart, and directly wrote the word 'Yijia' on the paper, and entered the first class, either the champion or the list of eyes and flowers.

Because of the discovery of Lu Xiangsheng's talent, Zhu Youxiao put down the brush in a good mood, and then drank a bowl of mutton soup very comfortably.

To tell the truth, the historical figures in the late Ming Dynasty that Zhu Youxiao is familiar with are some of the main ones. For example, Lu Xiangsheng is these, but he is actually not very clear about Lu Xiangsheng's life history, so he didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng was a Kejia Jinshi in the year of Renxu, so at this time, he found that Lu Xiangsheng ran in front of him, and he was as elated as if he had found a treasure, and at the same time, he was a little afraid, if he lost the Renxu Imperial Examination, would Lu Xiangsheng be buried?

BUT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LUCK, ZHU YOUXIAO, THE EMPEROR OF THE APOCALYPSE AT THE END OF THE MING DYNASTY, IS A BIT OF DRAGON LUCK, NOT AS LOW AS CHONGZHEN. And a talent like Lu Xiangsheng is from the Renxu Kejia, and theoretically speaking, it is a talent bred by the branch veins that connect the main dragon vein. These people who have the luck of mountains, rivers and veins are born with a sense of mission. Talents like Lu Xiangsheng, who are bred by a branch vein, will eventually condense to the emperor who is nurtured by the main vein.

In history, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was killed, the True Dragon Son of Heaven was finished, and the talents bred by these branches have not yet been brought into play! When he was able to play it, he met Chongzhen, who had no luck, and without the backbone, he was finally finished one by one.

The prosperity of a country usually begins with the emergence of a large number of talents gathered around a monarch. Whether it is Japan or Germany, their rise in modern times is such a process.

Of course, the power of feng shui can be regarded as geographically advantageous, and people are also very critical, the Nordic dragon vein of Europeans is relatively strong, but the population is too small, Sweden and the European continent have not developed much when they can be a few times, since modern times there is no ability to dominate the world. It's just that life is a little more comfortable, no one has ever gone back to invade Sweden and these countries in history, the Soviet Union fought Finland before World War II, although it won in the end, but it was also beaten by the Finns.

India and Africa have no large mountain ranges, no ocean currents on the seaside, the dragon veins are a mess, the national will is extremely weak, and Africa has been completely divided into colonies by European colonizers in modern times. After World War II, India once felt very awesome, but as soon as the Sino-Indian border war broke out, India was immediately kicked off the altar by China, and its international status plummeted.

Although China was backward after World War II, the dragon vein was there after all, and it also had a deep enough culture and a large enough population, and after a few decades of development, it caught up with most countries and became the only country in the world that still has the potential to compete with the United States for world hegemony. Others, such as Russia, have long since dismantled their industrial systems, and European countries, Japan and South Korea are also engaged in industrial division of labor, and there is no capital to compete with the Americans.

The dragon vein is not a dominant force, but this power does exist objectively. At this time, Zhu Youxiao, two years after ascending the throne, can be regarded as having survived the initial crisis without danger, although there is still a certain risk of premature death, but compared with the historical Emperor of the Apocalypse, the situation is much better, after all, at this time Zhu Youxiao has a large number of troops in his hands, and his sense of preparedness has also been unprecedentedly improved.

As long as Zhu Youxiao does not die young, the talents bred by those dragon vein branches will gradually gather around him. (To be continued......)
