Chapter 321: The Palace Test, the Able Minister to Rule the World

This time, the exam is not only a subset of the previous classics and history, but has added some additional questions to it.

These topics were naturally added by Zhu Yunxi himself.

The purpose is to find people who can be used in the world that match their ideas.

But in order to take care of most of the current scholars, these questions were put into the bonus items, that is to say, the original questions are still the same as the past imperial examinations, and there is no change.

It's just that on this basis, some questions have been added that can be used as a bonus.

If you can answer, then the chances of being admitted to the Jinshi will be greatly increased, and if you can't answer, it will not hinder the normal imperial examination.

Zhu Yunxi also understands that changing the exam questions temporarily is afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the scholars.

I also understand the beauty of the old methods for the old and the new methods for the newcomers.

Therefore, since this imperial examination, it will slowly change from the original observance of the stereotyped imperial examination to the examination change in Zhu Yunxi's mind.

It is necessary to have Confucian thoughts, to have policy exams, and to understand some arithmetic, after all, many ways of governing the country are actually hidden in arithmetic waiting for people to discover.

And, of course, be able to write articles.

It's just some practical instruments, not just empty words.

This imperial examination is different from the previous one, which took nine days, and Zhu Yunxi did not give many imperial examination candidates so much time.

In fact, they don't need that much time at all.

Because Zhu Yunxi made a slight reduction in the topic, and it didn't take that long.

The reason why the exam took so long, and the eating, drinking, and Lazar were all in the dormitory, there were more or less thoughts of obedience tests in it.

The purpose is not entirely about the selection of talent.

And after Zhu Yunxi ordered the process to be curtailed, soon, the imperial examination ended.

Entered the link of the temple examination.

Although Zhu Yunxi personally served as the chief examiner, the main focus was on the questions he produced, and the other questions were still the responsibility of other examiners.

For this part of the test paper, Zhu Yunxi didn't know much.

Zhu Yunxi only knew that from the tens of thousands of test papers, he saw not many candidates who matched his heart.

It is to count some candidates who are not perfect, but have potential.

There are only about 100 people.

So Zhu Yunxi was actually a little disappointed in his heart, Daming now needs far more talents than imagined, and the current Daming is in a state of redundancy on the one hand, and there is an urgent shortage of talents on the other.

The fundamental reason for this is due to the lack of talent and efficiency.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunxi has a good mentality, regards the talent problem as a long-term line, and does not force that it can be completely solved in one imperial examination now.

So this time, Zhu Yunxi was only responsible for taking the 100 people he was optimistic about as jinshi.

The rest of the jinshi should be handed over to other examiners to determine, and the usual imperial examination was taken as the standard, and those who met the standard were taken as jinshi, and those who did not meet the standard could only be screened out.

It wasn't until the day before the palace examination that Zhu Yunxi knew that a total of 531 jinshi had been selected for the imperial examination.

More than half of the usual 300 jinshi.

And the Jinshi taken by Zhu Yunxi and the Jinshi taken by the same examiner have about half of the proportions crossed.

Therefore, this time, the number of scholars in the imperial examination, that is, the number decided by the same examiner, is also half more than usual.

Whether there is any greasy in this, Zhu Yunxi does not know.

In order to fill the emptiness of the imperial court, the process of selecting scholars in the imperial examination this time can be described as a bit rough, and there is no lack of links and means that can cheat.

But Zhu Yunxi did not investigate to the end.

Send Jinyi Wei to investigate carefully, because Zhu Yunxi knows a truth, when the water is clear, there are no fish.

The big fish in this court are almost all netted.

It's also time to raise some fish in it, and when the next year comes, there will be a good harvest.

There's always something to be in the water anyway.

It is better to feed some of your own fish, the way is clearer, and when the time comes, it is more convenient and easier to control.

Instead of letting some miscellaneous wild fish touch it.

Even dragons and snakes are mixed, and if you live in something that shouldn't be entered, it will be too much trouble to close the net when the time comes.

So this time, Zhu Yunxi turned a blind eye.

didn't pay too much attention to it, and it also made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

Next.

Temple Examination.

Zhu Yunxi asked the court.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain, in the court, Zhu Yunxi first asked many newly admitted Jinshi about the future national policy of the Ming Dynasty.

Let the Jinshi answer.

Among these people, there are all those who answer everything, and some talk a lot about education and to educate all the people of the world.

There are those who appease the people and consolidate power.

It is almost impossible to escape the Confucian benevolence and morality, and rule the world with morality.

But among these tedious answers, there were two answers that made Zhu Yunxi's eyes light up.

The first answer was answered by a young man named Yang Rong.

He thinks that the first thing Daming will do in the future is to fight! Taking advantage of the strong national strength of the Ming Dynasty now, we must fight! Play the prestige of Daming, play the demeanor of Daming!

A hundred years after the First World War!

Use a war of unprecedented scale to let all the surrounding countries know the strength of the Ming Dynasty!

At the same time, it is also good to completely settle down the surroundings of Daming.

The purpose of the war was not to conquer and expand, but to deter the surrounding countries, so as to completely shift the focus to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Continue to engage in development.

Yang Rong's answer seemed to be encouraging Daming to fight, but in fact it was a good way for Daming to stabilize his focus and concentrate on internal affairs.

This also coincides slightly with Zhu Yunxi's thoughts.

It's just that Yang Rong's eyes have not been set overseas, while Zhu Yunxi's eyes have been set overseas.

At the same time, Zhu Yunxi is even more eyeing the resources of neighboring countries.

What Zhu Yunxi wants to do is to establish the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty in neighboring countries and even in the world.

It is the so-called inner saint and outer king.

Zhu Yunxi is taking this path!

The second answer came from a young man named Yang Pu.

Yang Pu's proposition is different from Yang Rong's, he believes that today's imperial court must be beneficial to the people, so that the people can also feel the benefits of the development of the Ming Dynasty.

Rather than blindly developing the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Because the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty is actually relatively virtual, built on many bubbles.

Only by truly benefiting the people and making the people rich.

That's what can really become the essence of the Ming Dynasty.

It can fundamentally stabilize the regime of the Ming Dynasty and make the national capital of the Ming Dynasty unshakable.

And this is also what Zhu Yunxi will do next.

More wealth, not only money, but also many materials and public infrastructure, will be treasured to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

So that the people of Daming can enjoy more fruits of the development of Daming.

So as to form a virtuous circle, let the people of the Ming Dynasty know that they and the Ming Dynasty are both prosperous and loss-making.

So that more people can support the development of Daming.

This is reflected in daily life, that is, the motivation of the people of Daming has improved.

Zhu Yunxi actually doesn't fully agree with the theory of spiritual level needs, because in many cases, spirit can overcome matter!

At the same time, it can also feed back the material!

The national upsurge can indeed make up for many shortcomings in productivity.

The current Daming is such a time when productivity is seriously insufficient!

However, although Zhu Yunxi attaches great importance to these two, he did not give them the top three positions.

First, the tree is a big wind.

Second, Zhu Yunxi must make it clear that he supports Confucianism.

can't do it in one step, and directly pull out the talents you like to the highest, but as the talents that Zhu Yunxi fancies rise all the way, the champions, lists, and tanhua have stood still.

Presumably, everyone can see that ranking is not the key.

Keeping up with His Royal Highness is the real key!
