773 [Thirty-one-year-old political envoy]

The reason why the official position of the East Palace was set up was because the prince was about to graduate from the Imperial City School.

Huangcheng School, three years of primary school, three years of middle school, Zhao Han does not plan to set up a university. Graduates here, regardless of the province they come from, are required to take the Jinling Provincial Entrance Examination. If you can pass the exam, you will go to university, and if you can't pass the exam, you will either go home or study at the university at your own expense.

As for overseas students, it seems that they get preferential treatment, but in fact, it is useless.

International students can choose from different graduation exams:

The first is a special test paper, you can get a graduation certificate after passing the exam, and then go back to your own country to pretend to be forced.

The second type is the general test paper, which needs to be taken together with Chinese students. Those who pass the examination can not only get a university diploma, but also be eligible to participate in the imperial examination. The same is true for specially recruited ethnic minority students.

It doesn't matter if it's a foreign student or a minority student. It is very difficult for them to learn Chinese, and they have to make up for their knowledge of primary and secondary schools, and they have to compete with college students.

Over the years, only three of the hundreds of special candidates have obtained ordinary graduation certificates, and only one North Korean student has passed the imperial examination.

Like those two British teenagers, if they enroll in Jinling University at their own expense, they will probably get out of the house with a special graduation certificate. You can't get an ordinary graduation certificate, you don't even have the qualifications to participate in the imperial examination, and the Chinese people don't recognize this kind of academic qualification.

"Alas, tomorrow is finally the end of the holiday!"

Zhang Fang hugged the physics textbook and leaned on the desk to watch the sunset outside.

Prince Zhao Kuanghuan's three elementary school roommates were eliminated only one.

And the one who was eliminated was He Qianji, who studied the hardest, had the most calm personality, and often advised the prince...... After entering the middle school, the top few candidates in each province (primary school graduation examination) were all recruited to study in the Imperial City School, and the competition for learning was fierce. Hard work alone can't make up for the talent gap.

Liu Guozhen, who is sleek and has strong social skills, has not seen how hard he works, but he can keep up with the progress, and he is on the verge of being eliminated in every exam.

And Zhang Fang, who has a stubborn personality, has really reformed since he was enlightened by the principal since he was in trouble, and he was among the best in the second semester.

Of course, when the prodigies from the provinces came, Zhang Fang was no longer so presumptuous, and his ranking could only fluctuate in the middle of the stream.

"Be quiet, be quiet!"

The class leader, Yan Guangyou, slapped the lectern and shouted: "In the future, there will be two days off every ten days, and the teachers will leave homework at the end of the decade." I copied the homework content of each subject on the blackboard, and if I didn't finish it, I would be beaten on the board. ”

"Alas!"

There was a wail in the classroom.

Yan Guangyou is a native of Qufu, Shandong, and a descendant of the revival of Yan Hui.

Whether it is the Confucian family, the Meng family, or the Yan family, the descendants of these Confucian sages are now honestly studying in the imperial court. And because of the family history, the masters are also invited to make up the lessons, and there are often children and grandchildren with excellent grades.

Yan Guangyou is the second place in the Shandong primary school unified examination, and his younger brother Yan Guangmin is the third place in the Shandong primary school unified examination. However, the two of them surnamed Yan are powerful, and those surnamed Kong and Meng have not yet appeared as super top students.

Zhao Kuanghuan, the crown prince, watched the squad leader copy the homework at the end of the decade, and felt tired for no reason.

Other students, as long as they complete their homework, can rest and play the rest of the time. And after his vacation, he had to learn politics with his teacher, and even had to be familiar with the major government affairs of the imperial court.

Zhao Kuanghuan glanced at a girl in the front row, the girl's name was Zhu Junmo.

From the "Book of Songs": Xianyun gentleman, don't make virtue.

As soon as he heard the name, he knew that Zhu Junmo was definitely not from a low-level family. But he is not a dignitary, his father is only a teacher in the county middle school, and after losing his wife, he no longer continues the strings, pulls a son and a daughter alone, and trains his children to become prodigies.

Even if he was recruited to study in Huangcheng Middle School, Zhu Junmo's test results would basically not fall out of the top three in the grade, which made the boys feel ashamed.

And Zhao Kuanghuan's first love, Qiao Wuhua, was among the best in elementary school, and when he reached middle school, he could only hover at the middle level.

Our prince has some signs of empathy.

He repeatedly compared the two girls, and felt that each was good in its own way, and it seemed that it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. But Zhu Junmo's academic performance is too good, which adds a lot of points to her, so Zhao Kuanghuan gradually favors this girl.

The young man's heart is like this, it is difficult to settle, and he always regards the spring heart as love.

Noting down the content of the homework, Zhao Kuanghuan returned to his dormitory.

It's still a room for four people, but the roommates change every year.

The latest three prince roommates, one is called Ma Xun, the son of a Hubei businessman. One is named Wang Kefu, a son of the Henan gentry. One is named Wu Chong, a farmer in Guangxi.

Wu Chong is the most unpopular, his personality is too serious, and he often fights with his roommates because of a trivial matter. But this kid is really hardworking, extremely self-disciplined, and every day he is either studying or preparing for learning.

No, it's just been school, and Wu Chong is doing his homework.

Zhao Kuanghuan is packing up his things and plans to go home early tomorrow morning.

Wang Kefu sat on the edge of the bed and said with great interest: "Have you read the newspaper?" Last year, in the performance appraisal of various provinces, our political envoy Yang Bu of Henan ranked first, which was hand-picked and evaluated by His Majesty. Under the governance of Yang Bu's political envoy, Henan had a bumper grain harvest and six livestock flourished. Henan Province contributes one-fifth of the cattle needed for immigrants every year! ”

Ma Xun was curious: "Why are there so many ploughing cattle in Henan?" ”

Wang Kefu said with a smile: "It is clearly written in the newspaper that Yang Bu's political envoy has changed his agricultural methods according to the actual situation in Henan and according to local conditions. Wheat is harvested every summer grain, corn is harvested every autumn grain, and two harvests a year are all high-yield grains. Moreover, wheat and corn stalks, as long as they are harvested some days in advance, can be used as green storage material for cattle and sheep without affecting grain yields. ”

Ma Xun said disdainfully: "What is there to brag about? The corn stalks were used to raise cattle, and the children in the countryside knew about it. ”

Wang Kefu said angrily: "Do you understand the green storage material?" If the corn stalks are not treated, the moisture dries up quickly, and they cannot be used to feed livestock in winter, and even if they do, they are not a big deal. When Yang Bu was the prefect, he learned about the production of green storage materials from the "Wang Zhen Agricultural Book". After many experiments and letters of exchange with officials of the Department of Agriculture, he finally developed a method for making green storage materials for wheat straw and corn stalks. ”

After Yang Bu was the political envoy to Henan, he personally visited more than 10 counties and guided farmers to plant wheat and corn in rotation. He also summoned the prefects, prefectures, and counties of Henan Province and distributed to them materials to persuade the Agricultural Department to compile. The magistrates of the province also contacted the Datong Bank to borrow money to buy cattle and sheep and young children and lend them to the farmers. ”

"Do you know how hard these promotions are? During the great drought in Henan, many peasants could not afford to repay their loans, and the Datong Bank and the Ministry of Finance impeached Yang Buzheng. Yang Buzheng is the political envoy of the right cloth in Henan, and there is also a political envoy of the left cloth above. Although it was not written in the newspaper, it must have been that the political envoy Zuo Buzheng also had trouble with Yang Buzheng. Fortunately, His Majesty came forward to appease, and Yang Buzheng insisted on doing it for several years, which is what it has now! ”

"These are all published in the newspaper, and with Yang Buzheng's achievements in Henan, he will definitely be in the cabinet in the future!"

Wu Chong, who had been doing his homework, suddenly said: "Yang Buzheng is a good official." ”

Wang Kefu said vigorously: "No matter how good an official is, he must be useful." Other provinces can't do it, it depends on us in Henan. Henan has vast and fertile plains, and the previous political envoy and the Ministry of Industry have done a good job in the water conservancy and rivers of the whole province, so that so much grain can be grown, and so many wheat stalks and corn stalks can be fed to livestock. ”

Zhao Kuanghuan felt that he was the crown prince, and it was necessary to remember this good official, and asked, "What is the name of Yang Bu's political envoy?" ”

Wang Kefu replied: "The newspaper said that Yang Bu's political envoy is called Yang An, a native of Hunan. He used to be just a scholar, but when the Datong Army recovered Hunan, Yang Buzheng signed up as a clerk and helped the mission group form a peasant association and divide the fields. Later, he was promoted all the way to the fastest, and every official position was remarkable, and he was appointed by His Majesty as the political envoy of Henan. ”

Ma Xun suddenly laughed: "Haha, it turned out to be our Huguang people." ”

Wang Kefu corrected and said: "It's Hunan, not Huguang!" ”

Ma Xun said: "It's all the same, Hunan and Hubei, formerly collectively known as Huguang. I am from Hubei, and Yang Buzheng is from Hunan, and according to the previous statement, they are both counted as fellow villagers in Huguang. ”

"Just put gold on your face!" Wang Kefu said with disdain.

Zhao Kuanghuan asked, "What about the newspaper?" ”

Wang Kefu immediately handed it over to the crown prince.

Zhao Kuanghuan turned to the report about Yang An, and was immediately shocked, this Yang Buzheng is so young, he will only be 31 years old this year. When he joined the Datong Army in Hunan and followed the mission group to form a peasant association to divide the fields, he was only an eighteen-year-old boy.

Ma Xun also came over and was equally stunned when he saw Yang An's profile.

The thirty-one-year-old political envoy of Youbu has been in this position for several years...... How terrifying will the future career development be?

More than a few little children were shocked, as soon as this report came out, the cabinet ministers were also discussing, and all factions tried to throw an olive branch to Yang An.

Young people are always easy to get hot, who hasn't been full of ambition?

Wang Kefu, a child from a wealthy gentry family, already regards Yang An as an idol at this moment. He also wanted to work for the well-being of the people, he also wanted to be praised by the emperor, and he also wanted to be famous in the newspapers. As for profit and calculation, on the contrary, it is the least important thing for young people.

This is the original intention, it depends on how long it can last.

Wang Kefu was about to make an oath, and Wu Chong, who was writing his homework, said: "To be an official should be like Yang Buzheng, if I become an official in the future, I will be 'Yang Buzheng's second'!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Kefu was so depressed that his lines were robbed by his roommate.

The students from other provinces who can study in Huangcheng Middle School are all prodigies from all over the country. The prodigies who have not grown up have different tempers, Ma Xun is quite proud, and he sneered: "You are still Yang Buzheng second? Don't let you take charge of the province, even if you are asked to take charge of our class, I'm afraid few people can be convinced. ”

Wu Chong wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't speak again after all. He came from a poor background, and although he was unusually intelligent, he only knew how to read since he was a child, and he didn't know how to deal with people. His parents were honest farmers, and they never taught him how to behave in the world.

The Imperial City School is a small society, with any background, any identity, and any personality.

It is definitely much better for the crown prince to grow up in this environment than to hide in the deep palace.
