Chapter 531: There is a way to make money
At 8 o'clock in the morning, after the three chief and deputy examiners inspected all the examination rooms, the papers were issued on time.
The examination process is basically the same as that of Qiuqiu, the first one is four books and three questions, but although it is still a four-book question, the people who take this exam are naturally different.
It is said that the exam questions this time are also handwritten by the emperor.
And compared with the questions of the Autumn Exam, it will naturally be deeper.
Zhong Shuyu opened the test paper and saw the first question of this exam.
The title is the road to making money. ❃wap.f✺engshu❋✯✼nfo
This sentence is from the tenth chapter of the "University Biography".
The original sentence is 'There is a way to generate wealth, there are many people who live, there are few people who eat, those who are sick for it, and those who use it are comfortable, then wealth is enough'
It means that there is also the right way to produce wealth, and there are more people who produce and fewer people who consume, that is, they have to work more and eat less.
If the producer is more diligent and efficient, and the consumer saves a little more and consumes more slowly, then the wealth will always be sufficient.
This is obviously a very interesting subject.
Because such an exam question appeared on the exam questions, Zhong Shuyu couldn't help but guess that this was what the emperor meant today.
The reason is that although the current Yan Dynasty seems to be rich and prosperous, the treasury is not so sufficient, and there are financial tensions and some problems.
And this is a matter of history.
Although the emperor of the previous dynasty sent people to sail back some food seeds to expand production, it improved people's livelihood to a certain extent.
However, the previous emperors built roads, built ships, engaged in weapons, and a bunch of reforms did not succeed in a series of actions, so that the treasury of the Celestial Empire has always been tight, and it can be said that the later emperors have been filling in holes for him.
In addition, the emperor at the end of the previous dynasty did not care about the people's livelihood and only cared about his own luxury.
Yan Chao's next can be said to be an empty shell with great consumption.
Now, decades later, although people's livelihood has improved a lot, the finances of the imperial court are still tight.
Therefore, Zhong Shuyu guessed that there was the emperor's intention here, otherwise the examiner below would not have made such an exam question, after all, this exam question is a bit of a question.
This question is also extremely easy to answer.
Because the original sentence expounds the truth of a rich country and rich people, it lies in opening up sources and reducing expenditures, earning more and spending less.
Following this line of thought, it is easy to write a solid article that is stable and decent.
But if you want to write well and stand out from 10,000 articles, you obviously can't use such a smooth answer.
Because if this question is really what the emperor meant, then he must want to see an article that can solve the problem.
Zhong Shuyu thought about this, and soon thought of Zhang Juzheng.
Because in the original history, when Zhang Juzheng was the chief examiner, he once wrote a model essay for the candidates with the road to making money.
In this post-change parallel time and space, Zhang Juzheng was at the end of the previous dynasty when he was in his prime, although he wanted to turn the tide and save the previous dynasty, but he was not reused, and it can be said that his talent has nowhere to go.
After the establishment of the Yan Dynasty, although Zhang Juzheng was reused, he did not sit in the position of first assistant.
Before he died, he was a secondary.
Although he did a lot of policies that were beneficial to the people's livelihood, the most famous whip law in the original history did not exist, because the previous emperor had already unified the reform of taxation.
Because of these different changes, Zhang Juzheng in this time and space did not write a model article on the road to wealth and wealth.
