"Please," Hu Meng and Li Fang said.

"Daily, Mingyuan, let's come." Song Jiu said modestly.

The three of them reviewed the file together, and from the official position, they affirmed that Song Jiu was the leader.

Song Jiu was humble.

When they came to Zhongshu, Shen Yilun and Xue Ju were drinking tea, and they were not much stronger than Chu Zhaofu at the beginning, but there was one person who could not be ignored, Lu Duoxun!

Several people dealt with the government affairs of Zhongshu, and Song Jiu, in addition to a little pitiful foresight, was still inferior to Lu Duoxun.

The history books once portrayed this person as a villain, Song Jiu didn't understand it a little, Song Jiu didn't take it seriously in the history books, such as the famous Taizu Sanxun, never add endowment, never kill the descendants of the Chai family, and not punish the sergeant, Song Jiu also didn't see it.

What Song Jiu couldn't understand was that Lu Duosun was not a useless villain or as the history books said, why was he still portrayed like that after he stepped down?

What happened to Lu Duoxun, Song Jiu didn't care, what he cared about was Zhao Pu's ability.

Therefore, he was very careful in doing things, such as Yuan Kuo knew that Chuzhou had increased taxes by more than 20,000 yuan for a few months, so he played a meritorious service.

Song Jiu commented after the book: How much is the commercial tax, what is the geometry of the two taxes? More than ten years ago, the Chuzhou catastrophe, I gradually recovered, but not as good as Tang Shengye. Your increased taxation is beneficial to the imperial court, your loyalty is commendable, and the livelihood of the people cannot be ignored.

Chuzhou was not the Chuzhou when Song Jiucai came, and with the Southern Tang Dynasty taking it, the Bianshui Cao Yun became more and more important, and Chuzhou gradually prospered. However, Chuzhou was too badly damaged in the massacre of the city in the latter week, and although it recovered, it can only barely be regarded as a Zhongzhou now.

If even Chuzhou can increase taxes by tens of thousands of yuan a year, then the taxes of the Song Dynasty will more than double.

Whether it is collected from commercial taxes or from two taxes. These are all abnormal practices.

Song Jiu also did not approve of crying about poverty and tax exemption, which benefited the people. but it has suffered the country. This is what Song Jiu said that day, the balance of interests, the interests of the country. The interests of the people are divided into the interests of the poor, the middle class and the rich.

The best thing to do is to tax moderately and reasonably.

Song Jiu didn't approve of Yuan Kuo's approach, but said it very tactfully, you have good intentions, loyal to the country, but do it in moderation, so let him further report the specific tax increase. Where is the increase, but also criticism and praise.

The same is true of everything else, whether it is right or wrong, or praise, or encouragement, and then tactfully pointing out the shortcomings or mistakes.

Although Hu and Li are not as high as Song Jiu's official positions, they cannot be underestimated, and the two have served as Zhongshu people for a long time, but what worries Song Jiu is that Li Fang and Song Qi and Zhao Pu have a good relationship. It could be someone from Zhao Pu's faction. And this name Song Jiu knew the Tao in his previous life, and the people who could make him know the Tao were not small people.

So Song Jiu became more and more modest.

Lu Duosun's sophistication in handling government affairs must be learned, but Lu Duosun's pride cannot be learned, which must lay a good foundation for the future.

The three of them were humble for a long time. Song Jiu said: "Master Li, you are very good at composing poems, you come to review the poems." Master Hu, you are longer than the six-body body. You come to review the Fu Chapter, I am not long in Confucianism. It's not long physically.,Let's review the chapter.。 ”

Hu Li and Li glanced at each other, and the Ministry of Rites adopted Song Jiu's suggestion and began to copy the name, and the palace test only pasted the name, not the transcription, so that the examiner could see the student's handwriting. In fact, this can be convenient for cheating, and the transcription system must be implemented for a long time, but considering that the Ministry of Rites has won the test, it is basically successful, and cheating is of little significance, and Song Jiu did not admonish.

Under the influence of Song Jiu, the score system is also implemented now. Because the strategy was suggested by Song Jiu, it was only thirty points, which was slightly lower than the score of the other two subjects.

Song Jiu has never written a pun, but several of his small orders have spread far and wide, some people have talked about it, thinking that Song Jiu has failed several imperial examinations, so he hates pun Wen Shifu, Hu Li and the two also think so, smiled, and nodded successively.

In fact, Song Jiu can barely write some poems now, but he can't say that he is good, he comes to judge the policy, the strategy is to consider whether the views are correct, and he can be sloppy, but to review the poems, there will definitely be mistakes.

began to review the papers, and when it came to the palace examination, the number of people was not much, more than 100 jinshi, and more than 200 subjects.

The trial is a Jinshi volume.

The score is determined by the third grade.

Song Jiu opened the scroll one by one to watch, this time Jinshike came from all over the country, including the south of the Bashu River, there are many strategies written in clusters, the words are also well written, jewels, especially one of the strategies has a long-term point of view, which makes Song Jiu admire. However, he couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the poetry score above. This person is about the same as himself, with political foresight, but his poetry is not good, so Hu and Li give them a very low score.

Song Jiuyi gave him a full score.

There is also a volume, which makes Song Jiu feel very satisfied, so that he gave a high score, and the above two scores are also extremely high, no surprise he is the champion, I don't know who this person is.

But Song Jiu liked this reading very much, because in this way, since then, he has basically become a real civil official.

It was dusk, Song Jiu and the three of them read the volume, sealed it, and Song Jiu rode to Hezhou.

After returning to the capital, Song Jiu also did one more thing.

He saw that the casting technique was improving, and some senior students were becoming more and more proficient in the study of physical qualities, so he drew a simple principle of artillery and related sketches for the students of the academy to study.

But at the moment, there is a lack of copper, the steel cannon is impossible, that stride is too big, the second is its power Song Jiu is very skeptical, and the third is that the specific technique Song Jiu does not know. It was he who proposed it, but Song Jiu didn't attach too much importance to it.

I looked at it, and then I went to see the research and development of textile machinery.

Song Jiu attaches great importance to it, once it succeeds, then even half of the tribe may be able to successfully rebel, and the power is far better than artillery.

It's time for Donghua Gate to release the list.

After the list is released, all the admitted scholars and students will be brought to the lecture hall to meet the emperor and ministers.

Song Jiu was a little curious, because he thought of the legend of catching his son-in-law under the list.

After looking at the time, he came to Donghua Gate in casual clothes from the book to watch. He was disappointed that he didn't see anyone coming to arrest his son-in-law, and around this time Jinshi was still worthless.

But Song Jiu knew in his heart that from then on, the situation would be different.

Although no one caught his son-in-law. But many people came to see the excitement, and at the same time, they also raised their children around the black oppression.

The number of winners is staggering. There are not only more than 100 jinshi, but also more than 200 subjects. At the same time, Zhao Kuangyi also issued an edict to let the Ministry of Rites read the tribute, and more than 180 people were hired in the fifteen moves or those who were not in the Jinshi or various subjects, and there were more than nine classics that were not selected, but there were seven of them who were old, and they were also given three generations. Although the latter is hired, it is worthless, so I don't know how to send Zhao Kuangyi to Ludao.

Song Jiu was on duty, and he ran out secretly, and the students didn't pay attention.

He heard a young man say to another middle-aged man, "Senior Brother Liang." It's good for you to choose a strategy today. ”

"Luck, luck." The middle-aged man said happily.

Song Jiu couldn't help but glance at him, he was in his thirties, with a rectangular face, what he looked like, Song Jiu didn't care too much, but observed his bearing, the young man obviously sneered, but this person didn't care too much. This kind of bearing is still okay.

Another middle-aged man said: "Brother Guangbi, you are talented, and your admission is free and reasonable, but although you are on the list, you are high. The career can't be compared with the ranking on the list, and what you have to know is the way to be an official. ”

The young people were unimpressed, and they were silent.

The middle-aged man said again: "Guangbi." Think about it again, Zhao Puxianggong was born as a Jinshi? Song Jiu Xianggong was born as a Jinshi? ”

"Different. Zhao Xianggong followed Taizu, that was from the dragon's work. Song Xianggong's miscellaneous studies should not be underestimated. ”

"You are stubborn, if Zhao Xianggong has no ability to govern, how can he be alone for more than ten years, if Song Xianggong has no ability to govern, why do you have outstanding political achievements wherever you go?"

The three of them argued, causing many onlookers.

Song Jiu couldn't stay any longer, and he would miss the time to enter the Martial Arts Hall.

So he asked, "What are the names of the three of you?" ”

The former young man said: "Korean Chinese word Guangbi." ”

Korean Chinese? Song Jiu obviously didn't know the Dao, of course, there were more people who didn't know the Dao, and he might not have any interest if he didn't know the Dao, so he arched his hand.

"Zhang Qixian, the word teacher is bright."

Song Jiu's face changed slightly, this person is too clear, it is rumored that when Zhao Kuangyi went to Luoyang, Zhang Qixian stopped Zhao Kuangyi's royal driver on the street and asked for a strategy to govern the country. When the guards saw this madman, they wanted to drag him down to the battle, so that Zhao Kuangyin could stop him and take him to the palace.

Zhang Qixian pointed to the heavens and the earth, offered ten strategies, and Fen, rich people, feudal, Dunxiao, virtuous, Taixue, nationality, selection of good officials, prudent punishment, punishment of adultery, roughly means to take the Northern Han Dynasty, improve the living standards of the masses, arrange the royal family to their respective territories, advocate the filial piety of the people, establish institutions of higher learning, allocate land as official allowances, select good officials, law enforcement should be humane, and the fight against crime should be strict.

It is said that Zhao Kuangyin only agreed to four of them, and he agreed, and the rich people also agreed, and the feudal Zhao Kuangyin did not approve, is it not enough for the rebellion of the Western Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties? Dunxiao also agreed that Juxian was good, but Zhang Qixian was too broad in the details and did not agree. At that time, there was no such thing as Taixue, and I did not agree with it. The same is true of everything else.

If Song Jiu comes, he may not agree to all of them.

Zhao Kuangyin was in a good mood that day, and actually argued with him.

But this person is very stubborn, and he refutes them one by one, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't like it a little, Zhao Da's personality is actually very strong, which is also the reason why Song Chu didn't have a good speech.

After fighting to the top, Zhao Kuangyin became angry and asked the guards to drag him out.

According to historical legend, Zhao Kuangyin said to Zhao Kuangyi after he came back, I met a strange person when I was in Luoyang, Xixing, and I can assist you in the future.

At that time, Song Jiu had not yet come to the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyi was barely in charge of Kaifeng affairs, how could he say this.

After Zhao Kuangyin returned to Kaifeng, he felt very funny, and talked to Zhao Kuangyi about this stunned young man.

I don't know what Lu Dao thought later, he actually passed the exam, and this time he came to the capital again.

But Song Jiu knew that this person was going to be the prime minister in the future, and nodded kindly.

The last middle-aged man said: "Lu Mengzheng, the word is a holy merit." ”

"Lu Mengzheng, ah......" Song Jiu muttered, just with these two people, there were two prime ministers in this imperial examination.

"Your Excellency, please have your first name." Lu Meng is right, he thought that Song Jiu was also a son, but why was he so faced? You must know that the provincial test students who can be hired in the road have been feasting on each other for more than ten days, and they are very familiar, and those who have not been admitted have gone home for so many days.

Song Jiudao: "My surname is Song Mingjiu, and the word is Yi'an." ”

"Why do you have the same name and surname as Song Xianggong?"

"You just treat me as Song Xianggong, Lu Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, I listened to what you just said, and it is very right, if you maintain this mentality and thinking, your career will be very bright," Song Jiu smiled, and then returned to Zhongshu, preparing to enter the Martial Arts Palace.

"Nervous," scolded another.

The official who maintained order couldn't help but say: "Bold, you dare to scold Song Xianggong." ”

"It's really Song Xianggong."

The crowd was dumbfounded.

Next, he looked at Zhang Qixian and Lu Mengzheng with envious eyes, and before the rankings were posted, they entered Song Jiu's eyes, will their careers be bad? If they hadn't waited for Zhang Bang, they would have made a fuss about letting Zhang Lu and the others have a treat.

Soon after Song Jiu arrived in Zhongshu, he was brought to the Lecture Hall with the bigwigs of Zhongshu.

The eunuch began to read out the rankings, and the champion was Lu Mengzheng, although he knew the ranking outside the Donghua Gate, Lu Mengzheng was still a little uncalm, and his tone of voice was trembling with excitement.

But this Jinshi is not trivial, Lv Mengzheng, Li Zhi, Wen Zhengshu, Zang Bing, Ma Rushi, Wang Wei, Zhang Chong, Song Mi, Lv Youzhi, Zhang Qixian, Chen Shu, Wang Huaji, Lv Guixiang......

It's a pity that Song Jiu only knows about Lu Mengzheng and Zhang Qixian.

He also gave a banquet in Kaibao Temple.

It's all normal, and then it's not normal.

When the banquet was about to disperse, the eunuch announced that the first and second class jinshi and those who won the nine classics were awarded the posts of the eunuchs, the Dali judges, or the general judgment of the states, and the third was equal to the Jinshi and the subjects and sent to the Ministry of Officials to be exempted, and the superior note of the ministry judged the secretary Bo Wei, and the five hundred winners, whether it was given to the old fritter candidates who were born in the fifteenth session of the middle school, or the seven old men and the nine classics, they were all given green robes and yawats, and the officials who went to the post were given two hundred yuan to fill the money, and even let them go to the local government affairs that were inconvenient for the people, and they could deal with them as soon as possible without having to report.

At this moment, Xue Juzheng and Shen Yilun couldn't sit still.

They looked at Song Jiu together. The emperor is simply nonsense, you say that you don't say what you say, don't say what you can't say, so stand up. (To be continued......)
