Chapter 122: Losing First (498 Plus)

The second more

The young emperor would not tell anyone that he never picked out not the style of the articles, but the ideas they expressed. For example, Xin Kun's thoughts are very consistent along the way. Everything should be done first and then said, it is useless to just think about it, do it first. If you feel that something is wrong, slowly adjust the direction on the way forward until it is suitable.

Xin Kun believes that things in the world are the same as striking iron, you can prepare first, such as preparing steel, preparing drawings, and charcoal. But does this make a good kitchen knife? No! The most important thing to make a good kitchen knife is the heat and the final quenching. If the heat is not right, or the timing of the final quenching is not right, or even the potion used for quenching is missing, then the previous preparations will be in vain. So what's more important? Of course, it is the skill and decisiveness of the craftsman who grasps the heat.

Therefore, the same is true of the government, the emperor and the ministers are the craftsmen who grasp the heat, and the world is the knife to be beaten. If you don't want to produce waste, you have to concentrate on the craftsman and regulate it at any time. Of course, it's okay if there is a scrap, as long as you know what is wrong, then the scrap does not necessarily fail.

Xin Kun's meaning is also reflected in his control of the workshop, for example, the iron that their family now uses to fight knives is scrap iron and scrap iron steel. The scrap metal that is not wanted in the market can be sent to the Xin family's workshop to exchange for money, and they have a special collection shop, which is purchased by two catties. The real price is clear, and there is no deception for children.

This court is not prohibited, because there are many such shops among the people, and recycling is also what the court wants. However, if the Xin family did this, they would make a hundredfold profit when they turned their heads, and this young emperor was a little unhappy. secretly studied it with his henchmen, and suddenly found that what Xin Kun did was reasonable and legal, and the court really had nothing to do with him.

You can't punish them for their good craftsmanship, right? Other families also do this, but because the craftsmanship is not as good as theirs, they can only stare dryly.

The young emperor understood that Xin Kun's idea was like this, treating the country as their blacksmith shop, wanting the shop to do well, and constantly adjusting their own abilities, but also knowing how to constantly find new ways to make the shop more prosperous.

This view is also reflected in the case of the drought in the north, when everyone is thinking about how to help the disaster, he thinks, why not change things? In this way, he also calmly trimmed their land, and his family planted two or three percent more millet than others.

This is what the young emperor appreciates, because Xin Kun's views have all been confirmed in reality, he did just that, and he did it. How does this compare with Cai Wen's second ancestor? Does he know what millet is and millet is?

"Compared with Cai Guan, Cai Wen seems to be more talented." Niu Ge Lao took the scroll handed over by the Young Emperor, glanced at it, and turned to Cai Ge Lao.

"Young and ignorant, spoiled by the old man, there is no steadiness." Cai Ge Lao smiled, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, Emperor Gang just glanced at it, just smiled, but did not have any comments.

Even if this is just a government test, but for Cai Wen, it is also important, the third concubine is out, when he separates the family, how many things he can share, the old man has a lot of money in his heart. The third child is honest, he has been bullied by the eldest and second children, there is no hope for family property, and there is no hope for titles and official positions, he just wants to use his preference for his little grandson to fight for a place in the third room. As a result, although Cai Guan didn't say it explicitly, he also said that he did something wrong this time. made Cai Wen and even the Cai family fall into an embarrassing situation.

"This time, Cai Guan is discerning. Xin Kun, this kid is very lazy, if it weren't for Brother Guan's force, this kid would have made a fortune at home. I'm going to reward him when I go back! The young emperor laughed.

Elder Niu Ge also smiled, but did not agree, and returned the scroll to Shuntianfu lightly.

Elder Cai Ge also smiled, "Alas, originally people like us shouldn't compete with the children of the poor family for this place. Guan Er also asked Wen'er to go to Guozi to study for a few years to have more experience. However, Wen'er has always taken Guan Er as an example, and she must try it in the exam. Lao Chen also wanted to let him sharpen his temperament, and when he passed the hospital examination, he let him go to the Guozi Prison. ”

Niu Ge's old face twitched, he is also a son of a poor family, what does Cai Ge Lao mean? People like them don't need to block the promotion of these people, he can also enter the national prison with a grandson, and he has the qualification of a prisoner, and he can directly participate in the examination after three years, who can not give Cai Wen a jinshi qualification.

"Okay, I've read the scroll too, let's go back to the palace!" The young emperor pretended that he hadn't heard anything. These two elders were used to playing like this. And he is happy to see it, for example, just now he deliberately praised Cai Guan, without mentioning Cai Wen, with Cai Ge's old temperament, he must come with someone when he goes back. Cai Guan was only afraid that he would be a little angry, and he couldn't say it, Cai Shangshu would have to be unlucky. This kind of eccentric old man is really the root of the loser! He's looking forward to it!

Cai Ge went home and went directly to Cai Wen's yard. Cai Wen was studying in his own courtyard, with a cyan poplin robe and a green jade hairpin simply inserted on his head, looking like a standard elegant young man.

Cai Wen saw his grandfather return and hurriedly got up.

"Grandfather!"

"Why don't you come back and don't stop?"

"My grandson is thinking about my article today, but my grandfather came back early today." Cai Wen has always been well-behaved in front of the old man, he personally poured some warm tea and held it in front of his grandfather with both hands.

"Well, what do you think of your test in the past two days?" The old man can't say that we have read the papers of the past two days, although there is another one, you don't have to take the test, right?

"It's not like that, it's not difficult for my grandson to study." Cai Wen is quite confident in this regard, he grew up in this family, even if his identity is not as good as the two cousins, but the old man feels that he is a lucky star, he has never suffered anything since he was a child, and that kind of arrogance is really in his bones.

"That's okay, I'll ask, you have a good rest, you will be locked up the day after tomorrow, but you can bear it." In the end, the old man didn't say anything.

Cai Ge Lao knew very well that if he said at this time that he would finish the college exam and not take the exam again, he was afraid that the arrogant grandson would not be able to stand it, but now that it is clear that letting him take the exam is a waste of time, and turning back will become a stepping stone for others, and he really can't bear it.

At this time, Cai Guan was at Xin's house, and asked Xin Kun to write out his two volumes silently, he was good-looking. Even if he is the grandson of the elder of the pavilion and the current Hanlin, however, he is only six grades, and he is already promoted quickly, but if he wants to be like the young emperor, he is waiting for the roll in the tribute courtyard, and he really can't do it, so he can only come over and force Xin Kun.
