When Li Shouzhong announced the final results of this competition, the entire Guozijian instantly rejoiced, among which those young scholars and prisoners were the most enthusiastic.

One by one, they raised their arms to Baochai on the high platform, shouting loudly Mr. Lu Wu, and the waves were almost the same as the scene when the champion paraded the street.

Not to mention Baochai, even Jia Cong didn't expect that a competition would lead to such a wave of worship.

On the contrary, the "gambling saint" Fang Jingyan touched the bulging purse with a smile, and said to the old man Zheng who had just arrived at his side: "The world has been studying hard for a long time, this niece of the political prince is amazing!" ”

The word "learning valve" has been heard countless times by Master Zheng in the mouth of his nephew Jia Cong.

In the past, he really didn't think that there was any learning in Great Xia, and regarded those famous Confucians as academic authorities, and he never doubted the words of these people.

It wasn't until he went to Zhejiang to become a school officer that he understood the horror of the school valve.

A so-called great Confucian can label any student who dares to put forward different opinions as a young man, practice the law of a saint, and cut off that person's way to study.

At that time, Zhejiang seemed to be prosperous, but the party was the same and could not tolerate a trace of freedom. That's not the heyday of the Holy Dao, it's just the heyday of learning.

The world has indeed studied hard for a long time!

Today's niece Baochai defeated Sun Shenxing, who can be called a scholar in the way of arithmetic, in front of everyone.

For the young men in the audience, it means that there is a beam of light that belongs to them, breaking through the darkness that oppresses them.

Mr. Lu Wu can, and so can they!

"Mr. Luwu! Mr. Lu Wu......"

The cheers and shouts of the young men in the audience were overwhelming, converging into an unmatchable momentum, completely suppressing those pickled people who still wanted to make trouble.

Jia Cong quietly got off the high platform and ran to the left stand to get to Daiyu's side.

"At this moment, Sister Bao can already be called a generation of grandmasters. To be honest, I really didn't expect Sister Bao to be so good at arithmetic! ”

God testified that Jia Cong thought that he had memories of his past life, and that he could beat everyone mathematically.

But when he saw Baochai's small abacus, a question had a result, which was really terrible!

Sure enough, the upper limit of the abacus's computing power is the person who wants to allocate the abacus.

For example, when you meet Baochai, it's almost like a computer.

Daiyu glanced at Jia Cong in surprise: "Daddy said that it only took half a month for Sister Bao to audit the tax accounts of the thirteen provinces last year, and there were no mistakes or omissions. As for the questions in the competition, she was already playing with them when she was eight years old. ”

Play?

Who plays "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"?

That's what can happen to a top student......

Hey?

Damn, the boys and girls he knows seem to have their own strengths, and the top students account for most of them.

Not to mention He Chong's friends of the same age, who can be killed from the imperial examination, are all proper scholars.

Take the sisters in the family as an example, the second sister is not obvious on weekdays to welcome spring, but she is still a reading seed, and she has recently studied "Daxia Law".

The third sister Tanchun and Baochai are like carved out of the same mold, proficient in arithmetic, and the housekeeper is a good hand.

Needless to say, Daiyu would have been beaten in all aspects if he hadn't brought a plug-in for nine years of compulsory education.

There is also a Yuan Chun in the palace, that is the big demon king who came out of the harem, and the name of the first talented woman in the capital was not blown out.

(Xichun: What about me?) What about me?

Jia Cong: You're good at eating! ）

Xiangyun has a pair of skillful hands, whether it is Su embroidery or Shu embroidery, she has already mastered it, and has begun to create her own embroidery method.

Co-authored at home, he Jia Cong is a learner!

Feeling that his heart had been hit hard, Jia Cong really wanted to throw himself into Sister Lin's arms for comfort at this time.

Daiyu stood on tiptoe funny, raised her hand and touched Jia Cong's brain.

"Sister Bao has been a character who does not admit defeat since she was a child, she is proficient in arithmetic not for fun, she wants to make Xue Gong happy......"

Father Xue saw that his only son was not successful, and when he was seriously ill, he was most worried about the suffering and let go of it, that is, the Xue family did not have anyone who could make a family business.

Baochai can endure loneliness and devote herself to the way of arithmetic, isn't it just to make his father happy and reassured?

Alas, this can be regarded as Baochai's helplessness.

Otherwise, why would the dignified daughter of the Xue family in Jinling study so hard? Isn't it good to be a petite girl?

Looking at Baochai, who had stepped down from the high platform, accompanied by her husband He Chong, she talked and discussed with many scholars and prisoners, Jia Cong and Daiyu were happy for her.

"This is also an alternative champion, even more powerful than the champion."

"Yes, Sister Bao can be regarded as truly realizing her life ideals!"

Regarding her understanding of Baochai, Daiyu dared to say that He Chong was inferior to her. It can be said that Baochai is the same kind of person as her.

"If it is a man's body, the first place on the emperor's list must be surnamed Lin!"

Daiyu whispered softly, and Jia Cong smiled: "Who in the world doesn't know you?" This is countless times more powerful than the Golden Palace's roll call. ”

With the implementation of compulsory education, Princess Wen'an is about to become a Buddha in ten thousand families.

Scholars who came out of public schools, whoever saw Daiyu had to shout teacher.

If this errand is done by someone else, it is estimated that the emperor will be restless, even if he doesn't find a reason to kill him, he will have to go fishing to the ends of the earth.

……

The competition of Guozijian is just like Jia Cong's plan, it is not a quick battle, but it is definitely a quick decision.

Mr. Xue Baochai became famous in a battle, defeated Sun Shan of God Arithmetic with a complete victory, and became a master of arithmetic sought after by many young men.

It is said that the hands of the disciples of the He Mansion are sour, and the most common thing that the old man He Yaomin said in the cabinet is to praise his eldest grandson and daughter-in-law.

Sun Shenxing lost, and he lost badly.

The position of the head of the household department naturally fell into the hands of the other person with the highest number of votes in the court push, Wen Lian, who is said to be returning soon.

Before Wen Lian returned to Beijing, Lang Sheng, the left attendant of the household department, temporarily led the affairs of the household department and presided over the overall financial situation of the country.

And Baochai's brilliant performance in the competition won the appreciation of the emperor and the entire center.

Although it is a woman's body, although it is not a imperial examination, but the talent is outstanding, and Xue Yuwu, a member of the special household department, is the household department, and he is awarded the court to serve as a doctor, and assists Shangshu to preside over the household affairs.

did not set the specific province for Baochai, but directly served in the middle hall, and had the right to supervise each department, which obviously meant to focus on training.

For a time, I don't know how many official eunuchs in the court were interested in their daughters.

Although the wind and snow are good, at most she can win the reputation of a talented woman.

I still have to learn arithmetic, even if I can't become an official like the Xue family, in the future, I will be able to manage the family business more proficiently.

It's a pity that not everyone has the experience of Baochai when he was a child, arithmetic is boring, and most of the noble girls can't finish reading a book of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", let alone devote themselves to it.

"The second brother actually sent a letter!"

In the middle of summer, a trip is often a sweaty return.

As soon as Jia Cong entered the room, he stripped himself of himself, which made Daiyuqiao's face flush, and she took a sip, but said with concern: "How is it good to suffer from wind and cold alternately from hot and cold?" ”

As she spoke, she picked up the thin shirt that had been prepared a long time ago and put it on Jia Cong, poured herbal tea, and then handed over the letter that Jia Lian had sent back from the Western Regions.

"I've already sent it to my grandmother, and those things ......"

It is customary for a large army to conquer and obtain 30% of what is obtained in the public, 30% in the army, and 30% for each person.

Unless the emperor wants to get you, those officials who scold the emperor will not talk much.

Jia Cong took out the letter and smiled while reading it: "It seems that the second brother has won the battle...... Hey? Unexpectedly, the second brother actually came to surround Wei to save Zhao, and went straight to the territory of the Rakshasa country. ”

In this western expedition, the commander of the army on the face of the imperial court was Zhang Kelu, the eldest grandson of the British old man Zhang.

But in fact, Jia Lian secretly went out of Beijing as a surprise soldier.

The original plan was that Zhang Kelu would command the Beijing camp in the Western Regions and the border army to block the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the Western Regions Pass, so that it would not interfere with the counterinsurgency army of Uszang.

However, both the emperor and the central bosses felt that this was too cheap for the Rakshasa ghosts.

Without doing anything, let Jia Lian take the strongest elite cavalry imperial mausoleum guard in Great Xia, bypass the Western Regions, exit from the Beiting Protectorate, or surprise attack the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom that invaded the Western Regions, or attack the affiliated lands of the Rakshasa Kingdom, or directly attack the hinterland of the Rakshasa Kingdom, it depends on Jia Lian to analyze and plan by himself, and the capital will not interfere too much.

"I originally thought that the second brother would go to fight the Timurid Khanate and force the Rakshasa Kingdom to turn around to save him, but I didn't expect the second brother to directly enter the hinterland of the Rakshasa Kingdom!"

Jia Cong took out a volume of maps from the bookshelf, spread it out, and marked them one by one according to what Jia Lian said in his letter.

Good guys, my second brother is really outrageous, and the army of 20,000 has invaded the richest hinterland of the Rakshasa Kingdom, interspersed back and forth, and approached its capital Holy Winter City (Moscow).

This letter was written in February, when the Rakshasa Kingdom was at its coldest time.

The people of the Rakshasa Kingdom still wanted to take advantage of the cold to force back the Celestial Empire army, which was about to arrive under the Holy Winter City, and they didn't want to use this elite iron cavalry in Great Xia to spend it with them at all.

In the blink of an eye, the important town of Astrakhan on the Caspian Sea was broken, and the accompanying master craftsmen looked at the towering trees in front of them, and their eyes were straight.

Renovating the city, creating offensive and defensive weapons, and even making people start to build warships, these masters of the Ministry of Industry are like fish in water, and Astrakhan has been built into a thorny turtle shell, and the Rakshasa country has mobilized 100,000 troops in the country, but they have not even beaten down a single hair of the army of the Celestial Empire, but they have lost their own troops and have to return to the Holy Winter City for repair.

Jia Cong studied on the map for a long time, and finally understood the second brother's thoughts.

This is to nail the Rakshasa country and expand the territory!

"It's a little farther, but it's a fertile land, at the mouth of the Volga River, with the Caspian Sea in the back...... Therefore, the city of Astrakhan has been an inseparable part of our Celestial Empire since ancient times! ”

Jia Cong slapped the table and drew a circle on the map.

Come and don't be rude, he Rakshasa can go east, can't my Celestial Empire go west?

If you control the Caspian Sea and go west to conquer all the time, you will be able to take a piece of the estuary on the Black Sea, and when the time comes, whether it is going south to the Western Ocean or from the Black Sea to the Western Ocean, the Celestial Empire will be much more convenient.

Besides, there is a drooling black soil nearby, and the barbarians in the West know how to farm with a hammer.

Celestial Empire talents are the best at farming!

"The second brother wants the capital to send some firearms, and he wants to build a fortified city by the Caspian Sea as a base for my westward expedition. It seems that the old men of the household department are going to scold the mother again......"

Jia Cong seemed to be talking to himself, or joking with Daiyu.

He took a pen and paper and began to write a notebook.

"500 large and small artillery, 50,000 flintlock pistols of the latest type......"

……

"Five hundred guns?"

Lang Sheng Yihong, the left attendant who was in charge of the household affairs, let out a groundhog howl, and his hands were trembling when he pointed at Jia Cong.

"Yongfeng Hou, why don't you grab it? Five hundred artillery pieces have to be sent to the hinterland of the Rakshasa country thousands of miles away, have you ever thought about how much silver it costs? ”

The land route is not as good as the sea route, and it is not too troublesome for a large ship to use as many artillery pieces as it does when going to sea.

But pulling it from the land, or going to the hinterland of the enemy country, the loss and the risk in it, Sheng Yihong thinks it is a fantasy when he thinks about it.

However, Jia Cong also has his own considerations, but the land route is very troublesome, but whoever said that if you go to Astrakhan, you have to take the land route.

"Isn't the third batch of our official ships going to the West about to depart? Let them piggyback and send it through the Ottoman Empire. Thinking that the Ottoman Empire would not refuse the goodwill of the Celestial Empire, it was a big deal to give him some sweetness. ”

The Rakshasa country borders the Ottomans, and with the hunger and thirst for land of the Rakshasa country, it has been rubbing with the Ottomans, an old power, over the years.

That being said, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Selling some of the firearms to the Ottomans, it was not impossible for the two to join forces.

As soon as Jia Cong said his thoughts in the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor and the bigwigs who were still worried just now were all brightly eyed.

Good idea, it is said that the relationship between the Ottoman Empire and the Western countries is not very good, and Great Xia wants to tear off a piece of fat in the Western Ocean, but it should find a few allies.

France is one who does not deal with England, and Ottoman who does not deal with Rakshasa is another.

"That's a good idea, give it a try."

The emperor agreed, and most of the cabinet agreed, and the old commanders of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies naturally did not object.

Fight, hurry up and fight a big battle, the idle eggs hurt lately!

Sheng Yihong shook his head: "No, the household department is just that little bit of money, and it is going to sea and fighting, and tens of millions of taels of silver will flow out at every turn, and this day can't be passed?" ”

The cry of the groundhog is dominated by a sad and aggrieved grievance.

However, Jia Cong obviously saw a trace of cunning and calculation from Sheng Yihong's eyes floating towards the emperor.

Okay, well, none of these officials in the household department are not Pixiu.

Aim at the emperor's money bag again!

"Your Majesty, the household department has no money! Why don't we go back to this battle when we have enough money for the next year? ”

"Sheng Yihong, you ......"

The emperor was almost laughed at angrily, will the household have no silver?

"Don't think I don't know, your household department has dug out a secret vault of equal size under the silver vault, which contains 20 million taels of silver!"

Sheng Yihong spread his hands: "The minister doesn't know, how many days has the minister taken over the household department?" Even if there is, it is also the work of Wen and Lin, what does it have to do with the ministers? Anyway, there is no money in the household department, no money! ”

Wen Tongxuan and Lin Ruhai glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

As the former head of the household department and the founder of the secret vault, Wen Tongxuan had to stand up and arch his hand: "Your Majesty, if it is not the danger of destroying the country, the secret vault can only enter and not leave!" ”

Wen Tongxuan's words moved the emperor.

He has long known about the secret treasury, from 500,000 taels or 5 million taels at the beginning, he has slowly saved up to 20 million taels, which is a crisis system initiated by Wen Tongxuan and perfected by three generations of household books.

This system is indeed necessary, after all, no one knows when natural and man-made disasters will come, and how much disaster they will cause.

Alas!

The emperor sighed: "Forget it, I will take out five million from my inner treasury, and the household department will send five million to purchase ordnance, grain and grass, and send it to Jia Lian as soon as possible." ”

That's all for tonight, continue tomorrow, good night!
