Yin Zhen had already organized the language in his heart, so he said directly: "Huang Ama, my son thinks that the advantage of the imperial examination is that it provides a path to the official career for scholars, so that poor children also have the opportunity to become officials, and improves the status of scholars, and the imperial examination is a relatively fair selection system...... As for the shortcomings of the imperial examination system, my son thinks that the people selected by the imperial examination are all scholars and have excellent theoretical knowledge, but if they really want to implement it, the officials selected by the imperial examination are estimated to be inferior to an experienced craftsman? ”

Yin Zhen knew that his answer was a bit risky, after all, he had the highest status among scholars in Shinong Industry and Commerce, and if such an answer was spread, every person in the world could drown him with a mouthful of spit.

Yinzhen saw what Kangxi was thinking, so he said again: "Huang Ama, my son once went out of the palace, and happened to meet an official of the Ministry of Industry who was repairing a building, and my son paid more attention to it when he thought it was interesting, and found that the main official who presided over the construction basically didn't know anything about the knowledge of construction, and the whole project was planned and built by craftsmen, and even my son finally heard that the official who presided over the construction pointed fingers at the building that had been repaired, and had to spend an extra 10% of the silver on the construction." ”

Yin Zhen said these words, naturally has his intentions, in this era people advocated: reading to become an official, the Qing Dynasty's eight strands of liberal arts let readers read books to death.

Knowing the course of history in the future, he naturally knew that if he wanted the Qing Dynasty not to die, and wanted the people of this land not to be persecuted by the invaders, what he could do was to let capitalism begin to keep up with the pace of the West, even if the rights and interests of the Qing Dynasty royal family would be reduced in the end, it would be better than the Qing Dynasty disappearing completely.

If he wants to keep up with the pace of Western capitalism, he feels that the first thing to do is to subtly change Kangxi's view of craftsmen and merchants, and as for other things, we will talk about it later.

Kangxi listened to the words of his fourth son, thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "That's right, you are very meticulous in your observation, I see that you are very interested in the things of the Ministry of Industry, and you are about to get married, you can go to the Ministry of Industry on an errand after the wedding." ”

The other elder brothers listened to Kangxi's words, and they were silently happy in their hearts.

Of course, they know what the Ministry of Industry is, not that the Ministry of Industry is not important, but that the Ministry of Industry is a department far away from the center of power, and if they go to the Ministry of Industry and do not do something earth-shattering, it will be difficult to get out.

Yin Zhen was the opposite of what they thought, he was very happy that he could go to the Ministry of Industry, he was originally thinking about how to avoid the fate of going to the Ministry of Household in this life, who knew that the opportunity would come.

The household department is a good place to go, but the household department has a lot of messes, and he wants to devote himself to reform in this life, so he can't offend all the people in the court.

As for the problems existing in the household department, when the time comes, find a well-known and upright official, and just stab it, as long as Huang Ama really realizes the seriousness of the household problem, then everything will be easy to do.

As for the problem of the merits of the Ministry of Industry, it may be a real problem for others, but it is very simple for a person who has experienced modern life to create some useful tools, after all, the agricultural tools of the Qing Dynasty are still very backward.

Yin Zhen said happily: "Son Xie Huang Ama." ”

Kangxi saw that Yinzhen was very interested in the errand of the Ministry of Industry, and said secretly in his heart: It is worthy of being a child taught by his cousin, and he is a good one.

Kangxi: "Your answer is good, since you are more interested in the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, you can ask more about the Ministry of Household Books when you have nothing to do." ”

Yin Zhen said: "Son Xie Huang Ama." ”

Kangxi smiled, and then said to Liang Jiugong: "You send someone to send the snuffbox I just got to the fourth elder brother." ”

Liang Jiugong: "Chirp"

After listening to Kangxi's reward, Yinzhen didn't have any fluctuations in his heart, but he still showed a flattered look on his face.

The third elder brother listened to Kangxi's reward, and his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable, the value of the inkstone he wanted and the snuff bottle that was rewarded by Huang Ama himself cannot be compared.

I thought that Huang Ama was really partial, if it weren't for the fourth child having a good adoptive mother, otherwise, with the market of the concubine in the palace now, the fourth child is estimated to be inferior to the eighth child!

The third elder brother thought so in his heart, and his face also showed a little displeasure, but this displeasure was seen by Kangxi, he didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart that Concubine Rong is really not able to educate her son now.

Eighth Brother also has grievances in his heart, but he still has a gentle look on his face, and people who don't know will think that he was rewarded by Kangxi!

Yinzhen said with a "happy appearance": "Son Xie Huang Ama." ”

Kangxi didn't mind being more gentle with his son, so he smiled and said: "Recently, I heard from my cousin that because of your cousin's bad appetite, you went to the hospital to ask for Tai Medicine, you did well, but don't forget to estimate your body." ”

Yinzhen: "Son Xie Huang Ama cares, E-Niang has raised her son for so long, E-Niang has a bad appetite, and her son is also worried, but fortunately, E-Niang is now better." ”
