Chapter 196: Excerpts
In the Qianqing Palace, Chu Hao was lying on the dragon bed and was about to sleep.
Because tomorrow was the day of the scientific examination of the officials of the five ministries that had been scheduled a long time ago, he did not use the Dream Fairy pillow tonight, but changed to a normal pillow.
At this time, just when he was groggy and about to fall asleep.
Hai Dafu's voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang, the head of the household, has an excerpt to present."
Chu Hao rubbed his face, sat up with a light sigh, and said, "Come in." ”
Hai Dafu pushed open the wooden door, bowed down and walked to the dragon bed with a fold.
Chu Hao took the fold from Hai Dafu's hand and looked at it, only to see Zhuge Liang asking him in the fold to postpone the exam for two days.
Because of the original Liuhe County Order, Huang Shang, who is currently the official and promoted to the Ministry of Officials, will be able to come to the capital early tomorrow morning.
At the same time, he asked Chu Hao to temporarily lift Fu Tianqiu's grounding, and he was responsible for serving as the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites' scientific examination.
This is because the number of officials who can take charge on their own is too small.
The list is as follows:
Zhuge Liang, the chief examiner in charge of the scientific examination of the household department, and Shangguan Haitang, the chief examiner in charge of the scientific examination of the Ministry of Engineering, Lu Miaozi, and Lu Ban, the chief examiner in charge of the scientific examination of the Ministry of Industry, Zhuge Wolong, the chief examiner in charge of the main examination of the Ministry of War, and Li Guang, the chief examiner in charge of the criminal department, are Huang Shang, and Fu Tianqiu, who is in charge of the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites.
In addition, it is necessary to notify the examiner and the assistant examiner to get together to discuss the content of the exam and assign the exam questions.
Chu Hao thought about it, what Zhuge Liang said was not unreasonable, so he used a red pen to criticize red, asked Hai Dafu to return the fold to Zhuge Liang, and asked him to give the holy decree written before going to bed to Ao Geng.
After Hai Dafu left, he yawned and lay down again.
Following.
Chu Hao, accompanied by the Tong Emperor, left the palace in a carriage early in the morning.
As soon as the carriage entered the city, the sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of explanations in the hallmarks, came to my ears.
"Listen well, this scientific expedition is divided into five departments and 28 subjects."
"The five ministries are the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites."
"There are fourteen departments in the Ministry of Industry, namely carpentry, stonemasonry, miner, potter, silkworm worker, fisherman, kitchen worker, salt worker, civil engineering and construction, blacksmith, casting and sealing, winemaking, weaving, and arithmetic."
"There are two sections in the Criminal Department, which are Law and Punishment."
"There are two sections in the Ministry of War, namely martial arts and military affairs."
"There are seven subjects in the household department, which are arithmetic, business, farmland, medical care, transportation, aquatic products, and aquaculture."
"There are three departments in the Ministry of Rites, which are rituals, sacrifices, and education."
"The above 28 subjects are divided into three sessions, and after the first exam, there will be a one-year assessment period, and those who pass the assessment period will be delegated to each county as officials, responsible for the items examined by the candidates."
"For example, there is a person who takes the field subject, and after the first test, he is responsible for managing the greenhouse cultivation in a certain area and the farmers who grow in these greenhouses. The imperial court would set him a task and require him to record all the plantings in eucalyptus. ”
"If within a year, the grain produced in the greenhouse meets the standards of the imperial court, the official position will be determined according to the results of the assessment and the results of this examination."
"The rest of the subjects are the same, and the assessment period is one year."
"If you want to take the exam, come and sign up with me."
"In addition, the Guozijian has been built, and if anyone in the city wants to participate in the imperial examination in three years, they will go to the Guozijian to sign up on their own."
Chu Hao lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced out, only to see that the crowd on the street was crowded, and all the people were stepping on their feet and looking up at the feature who was surrounded in the center of the crowd.
The captains of the Imperial City Division divided the people into several areas and lined up the streets to prevent stampedes and try not to interfere with the passage of the road as much as possible.
Chu Hao looked at it for a while, and saw that many people were scrambling to ask questions, and the chief of the feature explained loudly. Then he nodded, and said, "Go to the Gongyuan to have a look." ”
The carriage immediately left the area and headed for the Gongyuan.
The Gongyuan was under the northern wall of the imperial city, next to the moat.
When the carriage came to the Gongyuan, it was crowded with people, but it was much quieter than on the street.
The courtyard wall of the Gongyuan is extremely high, there is a zhang of foot, and there is a black gold plaque hanging on the south gate, which reads the words "Gongyuan".
On the wall on the left side of the plaque is written 'Ming Jing Scholars', and on the wall on the right is written 'Seeking Talents for the Country', all of which are big black characters with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.
The overall architectural layout is the central axis type east-west symmetrical architectural form, the scale is large, the momentum is majestic, sitting in the north and facing the south in turn for the shadow wall, the gate, the second gate, the Kui Pavilion Building, the lobby, the second hall, the back building and other main buildings.
In front of the door, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi sisters, as well as three beautiful women, each stopped in front of the Gongyuan with a part of the people of the Imperial City Division.
The lieutenants wore swords at their waists and stared coldly at the crowd.
After Chu Hao saw that the main gate of the Gongyuan was currently crowded and could not enter, he asked the Tong Emperor to park the carriage at the side door, and he ordered the Tong Huang to watch outside and walked in alone.
Li Guang, who had not been seen for a long time, was standing in the courtyard at this time, shouting angrily.
"What about the people in the watchtower? Where did the death go? ”
"Where's the water tank you prepared?"
Chu Hao walked up to Li Guang with a smile and asked, "Why is General Li angry?" ”
After hearing his voice, Li Guang's face couldn't help but change, and when he turned his head and saw that it was indeed Chu Hao, his face showed a look of ridicule, and at the same time, he also noticed that there was not even a person guarding the door, and his heart was even more furious.
But in front of Chu Hao, he didn't dare to spread this fire, so he could only hold back his face and salute Chu Hao with a smile.
"The Last General ......"
As soon as he bent his body, Chu Hao waved his hand to stop him, and then asked, "I heard you ask the people from the watchtower?" Is there also a watchtower in the tribute courtyard? ”
Li Guang nodded and said, "The watchtower is here to invigate the examination from a height, and secondly, to prevent the Gongyuan from catching fire. ”
Chu Hao nodded and asked, "What about Kong Mingren?" ”
Li Guangdao: "Lord Shangshu is discussing the content of the scientific expedition with Lu Miaozi, Shangguan Haitang, and Lord Zhuge Wolong in Wenchang Palace. ”
Chu Hao bowed his head lightly when he heard this, and then asked Li Guang to take him through the many examination sheds and came to the Wenchang Hall at the back of the Tribute Academy.
When he entered the hall, Zhuge Liang was talking to others about the content and rules of the exam, which was roughly the same as what was said in the characteristics of the street.
After all, except for him and Chu Hao, everyone else didn't know about the scientific expedition before this, and they all got the news suddenly in the middle of the night.
At this moment, after everyone saw Chu Hao enter the hall, they all got up and saluted.
After the ceremony, Zhuge Liang said with a wry smile: "After the minister lay down last night, he suddenly remembered that he had not notified several other adults to serve as examiners, so he could only write a letter of pleading. ”
Chu Hao nodded lightly and said: "I won't blame you, and you don't need to blame yourself, after all, there are too many things you need to deal with at present, the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of millions of people, the grain and plants in the greenhouses, and the things that are built in various kilns and cities, all need to be responsible for you, and it is normal for people to forget something occasionally." ”
Zhuge Liang didn't know if he heard it, but just shook his head and smiled bitterly.
There are many things, he has obviously ordered to go down, but he is still not at ease.
As a result, there are too many things to deal with every day.
