Endure it, what can you do in addition to endure it.

Chongzhen is out of line, maybe Li Luo's words of comfort make him feel that there is really nothing: those chaotic ministers and thieves are vying to be the first to become the emperor, but the gold content of this new emperor is infinitely lowered. And my Ming Dynasty is orthodox in China, and those hastily established pseudo-dynasties can't compare to us at all!

Yes, if Zhang Hongbin is the emperor, it may be a big problem. But so many people call themselves emperors, but they directly lead to these so-called empires, which has become a joke. The gold content of the new empire has decreased, and even some of them are not even comparable to those small countries, so it is naturally impossible for the people to agree.

Well, I was in a bad mood originally, but now I think at least it won't be so bad. And others also thought that Zhang Hongbin's guy should also have a headache for this matter, just thinking about his headache, I felt a little excited in my heart.

"Okay, don't bother with that kind of thing. This year's scientific expedition must be held properly, by the way, we still have plenty of funds, right? Chongzhen can only change one thing, planning to change his mood.

"In order to cope with this scientific expedition, a part of this year's ransom has obviously been set aside. Therefore, it is completely sufficient for scientific research, and even a batch has been set aside as an emergency fund. Li Luo replied truthfully.

The pre-settlement system really works, at least you can know how much expense each department needs, and this expense has a certain amount of room for fluctuation, but the space is not too large. Therefore, as long as you use this budget, you can know how much money you will spend this year. After setting aside a batch of emergency funds, the rest can basically be put to use.

Originally, the ransom had to be repaid, so the remaining part was taken to pay off the debt.

"Heh, look at my poor ...... of Da Ming" all say that Da Qin is luxurious and prosperous, and Da Ming is really a bit shabby compared to it.

"However, in the past two years, the other party has no intention of taking the initiative to attack us, and we don't need to fight them for the time being." Li Luo continued to comfort.

"I know, I just sometimes think, can we really catch up?" Chongzhen sighed.

"His Majesty is the man of destiny, and he is more capable of turning the tide. Under your rule, the Ming Dynasty is thriving, and the tax has returned to the highest peak in the Wanli period, which is still only the tax provided by the three provinces! Li Luo said excitedly.

"Don't talk about that, wait for someone to clean up here, now that I think about it, it really doesn't make sense for me to be angry." Chongzhen shook his head and left the study.

Li Luo didn't want to say anything, just silently arranged for people to clean up here, and then left.

Originally, the scientific expedition was intended to be carried out in a few months, but according to Chongzhen's intentions, it was held a month later in advance. The reason is very simple, originally there were no emperors in various places, and they were semi-independent but came and went freely. But now that all localities are becoming self-reliant, everyone knows the importance of population, so the travel of the people, especially the scholars, is restricted. In other words, even if you wait a few more months, I am afraid that you will not be able to wait for many scholars to take the exam, so you simply calculate it in advance.

In this way, more than 50,000 scholars participated in the new scientific expedition.

Interestingly, many of them are candidates who have been to Shaanxi for the civil service examination, and some of them have chosen the wrong major and have been brushed off, or they have just gone to see and have no serious intention of going there. Now Daming has opened a new type of scientific examination, abolished the eight-strand text, and mainly focuses on practical skills and knowledge, in the content and form of the examination, it is very close to Zhang Hongbin's scientific examination. For these veteran candidates, it's not a chance.

According to the meaning revealed by the "Daming Daily", Daming will soon have to adjust the political structure, in other words, whether there will be many new departments in various places. In other words, a lot of official positions. It's just that unlike the Republic, the Ming side mainly selects the chief officer, in other words, as long as he takes office, he doesn't start from the grassroots level. As for those clerks at the grassroots level, they are mainly recruited by the department itself, in other words, TMD is a temporary worker of all evils!

Temporary vehicles have some executive powers, but are paid and paid less than civil servants. At the same time, civil servants have other allowances, but temporary workers do not. But Chongzhen did not completely close the door, he said that as long as the temporary workers are excellent in office, and they are rated as outstanding employees for three consecutive years, they can be directly turned into civil servants. At the same time, civil servants who fail to pass the two-year assessment and are incompetent will be dismissed.

This policy is good, but Chongzhen forgot that he was a society governed by people, and the lack of supervision was insufficient, and he directly led him to use power for personal gain, and the higher-level officials placed relatives to go to work, and the previous year continued to make the department evaluate it as excellent, and finally the situation of being turned into a regular one kept appearing. It can only be said that it is the height of the vision of the ancient people that determines the narrowness of their thinking about problems. But then again, isn't today's Daming crossing the river by feeling the stones? It is also a helpless move to pay some tuition fees appropriately.

A month later, the entire city of Beijing was also crowded.

I have taken the test and expect that I can get a good score, but I have not taken the test, but I already know the content of the test, and I am uneasy. It's just that in the previous years, they closed the door and memorized by rote, and there was no real learning at all. This is also something that can't be helped, who made Daming's previous scientific expedition so demanding.

was able to muster up the courage to come over to participate in the scientific expedition because the imperial court promised to reimburse the cost of room and board and travel expenses. At the same time, he said that if he really has good potential, even if he fails to make the list, he can also be re-educated in the later stage, and after passing the training, he will obtain the status of a small official, and if he encounters the same competitor, he will be given priority to be considered for regularization. For this reason, they are willing to come and take risks.

The examination of 50,000 people is indeed a big scene.

Just like Zhang Hongbin's first scientific expedition, because this is a new thing, the place doesn't know how to operate at all. Helplessly, Chongzhen could only gather everyone together to take the test, and then let the place have a good understanding of the entire operation process, and the next scientific examination will not be concentrated together. Of course, centralization has the advantage of centralization, and it is possible to select the best group of people in the most fair way out of 50,000 people. It is that the cost of operation is too high to be suitable for long-term operation.

Again, the exam is divided into three days, but the exam lasts up to eight hours per day. The reason is very simple, Da Ming can't get a water-based pen, and he answers the paper with a brush, and the speed is fundamentally inevitable. Fortunately, the scholar doesn't read the calligraphy, so don't write so that others can't understand it. In the end, even the questions of the exam were simplified as much as possible, otherwise Li Luo would have to worry about whether these candidates could complete the exam paper within eight hours.

At the same time, for the water-based pen, Li Luo and Chongzhen are also full of resentment.

It is available in all major government departments of the Republic and is now the main writing pen for civil servants in the Republic government. You can't get anywhere else except there, and it's become a status symbol. The more senior civil servants are issued with pens, so as long as you see someone pinned a pen to their chest, you can basically be sure that he is a middle-level leader. If there are two, and one of them is a fountain pen in red ink, it is a senior leader.

If there are three or more...... That only shows that he is a pen repairer.

Without these two things, Chongzhen's scientific research here doesn't know why it lacks a taste, at least a lack of identity.

However, being an official is the most important thing, whether there is a pen or not, but it can also be ignored.

Five days later, the list was posted, some people were happy and some were worried, 50,000 people only admitted about 1,000 people, and the 5% admission rate was not high, but the 109,000 people fell off the list, which also made the whole Beijing become a city of crying. At least on the day of the release, the cry was deafening. The suffering of 49,000 people is magnificent.

In the end, those who made the list didn't dare to laugh, worried that they would be beaten to death by the landing candidates.
