Chapter 654 is correct

In the third year of the establishment of the new year, at the end of spring, the people from all over the country gathered in Beijing, and Enke came more suddenly, and the people who met the age did not have the heart to mix up with the verbal battles about the reform of the imperial examination. There are more long-shirt customers in Beijing, and they often bring a scholar with an accent from all over the country to rush to Beijing. These people all have a characteristic, they speak official language, even if it is difficult to hear, they insist on saying it.

This is the result of Zhu Youzhen's insistence during his reign, any official must be interviewed when selecting officials, if the official language is not good, I'm sorry, you go back to learn the official language first, you can almost speak, and then you come to the selection. This is a big test for both the incumbent officials and the new science and technology practitioners. Nationwide promotion of official language, this is an established policy left by Zhu Youzhen, and it is also Chen Xie's advice.

Later historians regarded this rule as no less than a great policy of "the same book and the same track". Dialects will still exist, but as a state official, you have to speak official language, especially in public.

The system of the examination has also been changed, and the method of the Nanjing Township Examination has been completely copied, which is a measure that is very popular with the majority of people. There is also a new initiative to use Arabic numerals in arithmetic exams and to encourage the use of such simple numbers. Of course, this number can only be used when calculating, and the official written information should still be capitalized to avoid tampering.

Every person who comes to Beijing must first go to the Gongyuan to report and receive a copy of the new examination rules and regulations. Registration must be made three days before the test. In terms of time, there is still plenty of time, and the imperial examination time is set in mid-May, and people from far away can come and arrive in time.

The people who came early stayed in the hotel calmly. The most popular inn in the capital is a business run by a disciple of a clan. It is a two-story small building, with a small courtyard in front, and the scholars can live in it when they pay enough money. There is a large wall on the outside and a small fence on the inside. When there is something to do, there is a rope in the house, and after a while, the man can come and serve.

There are a total of one hundred and three rooms in the Zongmuro Hotel, and all of them are full in just half a month. The rest of the guests had to go to other hotels, and the next hotels were not bad, with two or three floors of brick and stone structures, separate toilets, and restaurants downstairs. The living facilities are complete, what is called Dengzhou Business Hotel. Just look at the name. This is a business opened by a merchant in Dengzhou.

There are more and more similar new things in Jingshi. When Zhu Youzhen was here, the changes that had begun were still continuing. The roads have been widened, the chengguan in black uniforms on the streets, and the shops with bright windows on both sides of the streets, which are undoubtedly full of fresh interest for some people from the northwest mainland who come to study. Changes in Kyoshi. It can often affect farther.

When these people go back, they will bring back the changes in Jingshi bit by bit.

There was a heated dispute in the cabinet. The reason is a report from Tianjin, there was an accident during the test run of the railway from Shanhaiguan to Tianjin. The train killed a cowherd baby, and if this thing was placed in the Northeast, it would be unlucky. There will be no compensation on the railway, because this matter has been repeatedly publicized in Liaodong. There are also warning signs along the railway.

But this was not the case in Tianjin, after the child died, hundreds of tribesmen went out to block the railway first, and then carried the body to the government to make trouble. The leader is still a squire with a great reputation. His name is Li Jin. Because of the passing age, there is no hope for the imperial examination in the future, whether it is because of this that he came out to make trouble, there is no way to know.

The Tianjin prefect's method of handling this matter was to make the railway pay 100 silver yuan, and the railway did not do it, thinking that this matter was not in accordance with the rules and regulations, and this opening could not be opened. There is a warning sign on the side of the railway, which is the accident of this child running to play on the railway by himself. There is no such responsibility on the railway, and considering that this is a child, he is willing to give fifty silver dollars as a pension.

The two sides couldn't get along, Li Jin took more than 500 people to block the railway, saying that the strange tricks and tricks caused people to disturb people's hearts, and also said that the strange screams of the train on the railway alarmed the tombs of the ancestors of the Li family, damaged the feng shui of the Li family, and wanted to pull out the railway.

Hao Jin, the prefect of Tianjin, came forward to mediate to no avail, so he had to put the matter on the court and ask the cabinet to decide.

Just such a thing, Xingwen went to the Criminal Department first, but Zhang Qi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, saw that this thing was a new thing and involved Chen Xie's interests, so he immediately sent Xingwen to the cabinet and approved a paragraph "There is no precedent before, there is no law to follow, please ask the cabinet to decide."

Xingwen entered the cabinet, it happened to be Jiang Fengyuan's shift, and when he got Xingwen, he jumped up and rushed into Zhou Yanru's office. What ruined feng shui, what kind of disaster disturbed the people's hearts, what hurt the innocent, all kinds of hats were buttoned up one by one.

Of course, Zhou Yanru will not listen to his words, since Jiang Fengyuan entered the cabinet, relying on his identity as an emperor, he usually steals the limelight everywhere, it seems that he is the first assistant, although the temper of others may not be good, but no one cares about him. Zhou Yanru was very upset with him, but he didn't have any good ways to take him, this guy was very sharp-tongued, and he pointed fingers at government affairs, because he was going to Zhou Yanru, and others also watched the excitement and didn't say anything about him.

Zhou Yanru's character of retribution, how can he tolerate him? But there was no good opportunity before, and I just indulged him first. When I read this article today, I sneered in my heart, this is your own death, don't blame me for being black. At that time, I listened to him squirt with a smile, and then said: "In this way, call everyone here and discuss it together." ”

Chen Xie has his own office, and he is temporarily ranked fifth in the cabinet, and he is a scholar of Wu Yingdian University. is mainly in charge of the military part, and Lu Xiangsheng has a team to help rectify the country's army. Chen Xie is now mainly in charge of the New Army, and basically does not talk about ordinary things. In the cabinet, the sense of existence is not so strong.

The clerk came to invite, and Chen Xie said that he would be there immediately, and after dealing with a matter of the new army, he came out and walked to Zhou Yanru's office. At this time, everyone else arrived, and saw Jiang Fengyuan standing in the middle, his mouth like a river, quoting scriptures, and criticizing the railway. Chen Xie frowned immediately, at this time, everyone else was in the mood of watching the excitement, even if Shi Kefa was unhappy, he did not speak out against Jiang Fengyuan.

In the final analysis, it's all about business, and Shi Kefa is not the kind of lord who likes to attack people for no reason. After the dismissal and return to his hometown, after experiencing the Henan Bandit Rebellion, Shi Kefa's views on many things have been reversed. Especially after serving as the head of the household department, he was used to seeing the faces of officials in various places, and he did not resist the new policy in his heart.

After all, he didn't understand the railway, but he didn't approve of beating him to death with a stick.

"The sound of this thing is like a ghost, shaking the mountains everywhere, disturbing the ancestors, and bad feng shui. Miraculous tricks, defiling the hearts of the people, should be ....... While Jiang Fengyuan was still talking, Zhou Yanru saw Chen Xie coming in, and immediately interrupted: "Sihua is here, come in and sit." He was talking about hi skin, but he was interrupted, Jiang Fengyuan looked at Chen Xie who came in very unhappily, and snorted heavily.

Chen Xie came in with a smile, and after sitting down, he said, "I heard about the trick just now, I just have a question, I want to ask Master Jiang." Jiang Fengyuan quickly arched his hand: "Don't dare, excuse me!" Chen Xie smiled at this time: "Muskets, cannons, and warships, some people said that they were tricks and tricks, but without these tricks, what would you rely on to defeat Jiannu?" What do we rely on to sweep down the Liuliu, what to rely on to open up the maritime frontiers, and what to rely on to develop industry and commerce and increase national income? Could it be that it depends on Lord Jiang's mouth? ”

After a series of questions, Jiang Fengyuan was red-faced, pointed at Chen Xie angrily, and said tremblingly: "You ......." ”

"What am I? How much do you know about trains? Do you know what it does? Do you know how it works? Did you know that trains can transport 1,000 people and equipment at a time, traveling thousands of miles a day? For example, in the second year of the first emperor, Jiannu entered the customs from Xifengkou, and if there was a railway, tens of thousands of Guanning troops could be transported to Beijing in just two days. Rather, the soldiers can rest on the train and go into battle when they arrive, rather than fighting with a tired body. For example, if there is a railway to Taiyuan, once the northwest relief is needed, it will only take three or five days for 10,000 quintals of grain to be shipped to arrive. I don't understand anything, what are you talking about here? As soon as he said it, Jiang Fengyuan was speechless, and Chen Xie turned to Zhou Yanru and said: "Hao Jin, the prefect of Tianjin, was not conducive to the promotion of the rules of the railway in advance, and the whereabouts of the government's proceeds during land acquisition were unknown, and it was not handled properly after the incident. This is strict zhòng dereliction of duty, and please take a charter to see how to deal with it. ”

is also a new minister in the cabinet, Chen Xie's attitude is very good, and he respects Zhou Yanru very much.

Zhou Yanru saw that Jiang Fengyuan was speechless by Chen Xie's words, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, and immediately smiled: "Sihua, the matter of the railway is a major event set by the first emperor. The Jinyu Railway is also a model of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway. Those of us who are not familiar with the railway, so let's work hard and go to Tianjin to solve the problem. As for Hao Jin, since he is not suitable for this position, it is better to transfer to a new place. ”

Speaking of Hao Jin, Zhou Yanru was still a little bitter in his heart, this is his own person. Chen Xie saved face for him, but when he said dereliction of duty, this is qualitative. Zhou Yanru hurriedly rounded the field, saying that he was not suitable for this position, is it okay to transfer?

Chen Xie arched his hand very face-saving and said: "Just do what Xiangye said, what do you mean?" As he spoke, he looked at the others, and the other four ministers said, "No opinion, just do it." ”

At this time, Jiang Fengyuan realized that he had made a mistake. The first emperor set the temple name of the "sage" sect, and the thing he set down was that the absolute political zhì was correct, and you opposed the decision of the first emperor, what do you want to make trouble?
