The test is the Four Books and Five Classics, which are very popular books, and I don't worry that the poor will not be able to buy books; The eight-strand format is fixed, a bit like the standardized test questions of later generations, and the objectivity of judging the merits is stronger.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the abolition of the imperial examination of the Eight Shares of Scholars will be possible, at least not for a long time, unless it causes chaos in society.

Zhu Youxiao's method was to maintain the imperial examination system first, but gradually change it. At the same time, it is necessary to increase the channels for selecting and appointing talents, and we will not rely exclusively on the imperial examination.

After a deliberate pause, Zhu Youxiao finally said the key point, "However, since the imperial court has realized its shortcomings, it will improve." Gaining fame in the future is not a way to take the imperial examination. For professional talents, there will be professional examinations. Let them learn and be useful. Those who are excellent can also be awarded officials, and even rank in the court. ”

"For example-" Zhu Youxiao glanced at Xu Guangqi and said with a smile: "Lord Xu's disciple Sun Yuanhua is just from a person's background, and his current official rank doesn't seem to be low!" ”

"Brother Shen has analyzed thoroughly." Xia Yunyi was quite convinced, but he didn't completely agree, and said: "But it's just a guess, the imperial court may not do what Brother Shen said." ”

Chen Zilong nodded and said, "What Brother Shen said, I agree with it very much. Vulgar Confucianism is ancient rather than modern, and it has forgotten 'applied to the world'. The establishment of a new school has shown the intention of the imperial court reform, and it is intended to study in the future. How fortunate it is to be able to talk about the disadvantages of the times with Brother Shen and ask about the affairs of the world! ”

Zhu Youxiao's heart moved, and said: "It's not necessary to form an association, and I don't like to socialize at the bottom." It's a good form of meeting to discuss some scientific issues. ”

John Tong agreed, saying: "In the West, people who are interested in science, including professors, doctors, theologians, etc., often meet at a certain place on a regular basis to discuss some natural science issues. ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then it will be decided first." Below is the landlord, so he will find a house to decorate, and then notify you. ”

As he spoke, he got up and said goodbye to Xu Guangqi, and said to the three students: "Let's stay in Xinxue for a while and understand the specific content of the subjects set up." I'll let you know when I'm done. ”

"There's Brother Lao Shen."

"I have benefited a lot from talking with Brother Shen, and I am very much looking forward to meeting and talking with Brother Shen again."

"Brother Shen is talented, and I admire him. It is a blessing to be able to fellowship with Brother Shen. ”

The three of them politely sent Zhu Youxiao out of the hall.

Bidding farewell to Xu Guangqi and others, Zhu Youxiao, accompanied by Wang Tiqian, Lu Jianxing and others, walked out of Xu's mansion, got into a carriage, and returned to the palace.

In the car, Li Chengcheng peeked at the emperor from time to time, still thinking about the strange phenomenon of the teacup being upside down and not flowing water.

Could it be that the emperor will still play tricks? When Li Chengcheng peeked at the emperor again, he met Zhu Youxiao's gaze.

"Do you want to see me do tricks?" Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Li Chengcheng's eyes widened, the emperor is so powerful, he even knows what people think in their hearts.

Seeing the girl's stupid appearance, Zhu Youxiao laughed, lay down on the thick blanket in the car, and honestly and unceremoniously used the girl's thighs as pillows.

Not to mention that the emperor returned to the palace, not to mention Chen Zilong and the other three stayed in Xu Guangqi's mansion for some time, chatting more speculatively.

Xu Guangqi also appreciates these three young generations who are fellow villagers, without the emperor here, he is more relaxed and speaks more, he is really serious and looking forward to it.

When he mentioned that he was writing an agricultural book that ran through the idea of "agricultural policy", he was too busy to revise the almanac and had no time to worry about it. Chen Zilong offered to be his protégé, learning from his teacher and helping him revise.

In this regard, Xu Guangqi was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

When the three of them said goodbye and talked about the gains and feelings of this visit to Xu Guangqi, they inevitably talked about Shen Lang.

"Although I am only a student, my background is not simple, and my knowledge is better than ours." Chen Zilong sighed: "I didn't expect to meet such young talents in Beijing, which is really amazing. ”

Xu Fuyuan smiled and said, "It's not simple. Look at the dress of the girl, the lady of the middle and upper family is just like this, right? ”

"Could it be a relative of the emperor?" Xia Yunyi has his own guesses, "The analysis of the actions of the imperial court is nuanced, and there are words that are earnest, I am afraid that it is difficult for ordinary people to get these news, right?" ”

"And Lord Xu's attitude towards him-" Xia Yunyi shook his head and said, "It always feels unnatural." ”

Chen Zilong waved his hand open-mindedly, "It doesn't matter what his background is, his words are speculative, and he is sympathetic, it's enough." ”

Xu Fuyuan nodded and said, "Yi Zhong and I are studying in Xinxue, you studied under Master Xu, and you also got acquainted with a talent like Shen Lang. It's a pity that this year is going to be spent in the capital. ”

"Isn't that expected?" Xia Yunyi smiled disappreciatively: "This year, we set off fireworks at the noon gate, set up Aoshan lanterns, and set up fireworks, how lucky we are to catch up with such a grand occasion." ”

Chen Zilong smiled heartily and said, "Lucky, lucky!" I don't know if he said that he was lucky to learn from Xu Guangqi, or whether he said that the royal family celebrated with the people.

When Jiannu was suddenly launched, the Ming army in various places was on alert, but they had not yet reconnoitred clearly and did not know their true intentions.

When the information from all sides came one after another, they learned that Jiannu was mainly attacking Ningyuan and Juehua, and was led by Lao Nu himself, and the Manchu, Mongolian and Han armies together numbered tens of thousands.

According to the principle of the four-way arrangement, if the eastern captives attack one place, the Ming army in other places will have to contain or go to the aid, which is almost the case this year.

Although the offensive and defensive battles around Fort Arthur were the main coordinated actions of several major military towns. However, the whole strategy and tactics are like this, the arrangement of the four parties is a whole, and it is the proper duty to support each other.

But just as the Ming army of Dongjiang and Luda mobilized their troops and prepared the camera to carry out the operation, Xiong Dajinglu's report from Liaozhen arrived.

According to Xiong Dajing's report, Ning Yuan and Juehua were not only solid, but also able to defeat Jiannu with heavy losses.

Therefore, he told the friendly forces not to worry, and if they are not sure, they do not need to force the battle to incur casualties.

The meaning is very clear, Liaozhen is fully prepared, I am afraid that Jiannu will not come to attack and send people's heads!

To put it bluntly, Xiong Dajing's strategy is to tell the friendly army that we are waiting for Liaozhen to wait for Jiannu to come over. This time I finally got what I wanted, brothers, don't work too hard, save the Jiannu from being held back again.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be a good thing for us to go out to contain Xiong Dajing? Wouldn't it make Liaozhen unable to obtain military merits?

Well, it's not that you can't act, it's just that you don't try too hard, and don't be too violent, which means a small slip. It's really boring, so it's better not to move like a mountain.
