Chapter 180: Agronomy is added to the exam questions
The spring sun shines through the glazed roof of the palace and shines on Zhao Yingluo's jade face, reflecting her firm and deep eyes. She stood on top of the main hall, facing the crowds of emotional, high-voiced lifters, but she secretly sneered in her heart.
"Zhao Yingluo! Why don't you return to Zhao Gou? He is the orthodox emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and what you have done is nothing more than the greed for power of an ambitious woman! A young man asked loudly and indignantly.
Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly, with a bit of disdain and ridicule in that smile. "Zhao Gou? That weak and incompetent emperor? She asked softly, her tone full of disdain.
The lifters were stunned, as if they didn't expect Zhao Yingluo to belittle Zhao Gou so directly. But they quickly regained their excitement and retorted Zhao Yingluo one by one.
Although Zhao Gou is young, his benevolence and wisdom have won the hearts of the people all over the world. You are just a woman, how can you usurp power like this? ”
"Zhao Yingluo, you should know that the things of the world cannot be done by one person. Returning to Zhao Gou is the well-being of the Great Song Dynasty! ”
Zhao Yingluo listened quietly, always maintaining that faint smile on her face. But in her heart, she was already full of disappointment and disdain for these moves. She understood that the reason why these people were so loyal to Zhao Gou was only because of the desire for power in their hearts and their dissatisfaction with the status quo. Their so-called loyalty and justice are nothing more than an excuse for their pursuit of power.
Finally, when the voices of the lifters gradually calmed down, Zhao Yingluo slowly spoke. "I heard your request. But I'm sorry, I can't say yes. Her voice was calm and firm, "Zhao Go's weakness and incompetence have plunged Da Song into chaos and crisis. What I need is a strong emperor, not a puppet who will only rely on others. ”
As she spoke, Zhao Yingluo paused slightly, and her eyes swept over the angry lifters. "As for you, since you are so loyal to Zhao Gou, then go back and assist him well. However, please remember that the future of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be changed by a group of you who only know how to be loyal to the old master and ignore reality. ”
The lifters looked at Zhao Yingluo angrily, but they had nothing to say. They know that what Zhao Yingluo said is the truth. Although they were loyal to Zhao Gou, they could not change the status quo of the Great Song Dynasty. Although Zhao Yingluo is ruthless and ambitious, she has made great contributions to the stability and development of the Great Song Dynasty.
In the end, Zhao Yingluo issued an order: "Cancel this scientific examination and come back to take the examination in the fall." Her voice fell, and there was silence in the hall. The lifters looked at each other and reluctantly accepted the fact. And Zhao Yingluo turned away, leaving behind an indifferent and firm back.
At the same time, Zhao Yingluo publicly announced a new decision in the imperial garden of the palace. The flowers in the Imperial Garden compete with each other, as if to celebrate this important occasion. Zhao Yingluo stood in a blooming peony bush, the sun shining on her face through the petals, adding a bit of softness and kindness to her.
She looked around at the crowd around her, their men talking, their faces full of unease and confusion. Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly, her voice clear and firm: "In order to select more comprehensive talents, I decided to add agriculture to the imperial examination in the fall. The exam will be divided into two parts: a theory test and a practical test. ”
As soon as these words came out, the lifters immediately wailed all over the field. They looked at each other, their faces full of helplessness and anxiety. An older man sighed, shook his head and said, "We scholars are good at prostitutes in Qinglou and chanting poetry, where do we know anything about agriculture?" ”
Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly, she understood the confusion and dissatisfaction of these moves. But she firmly believes that her decision is for the future of Da Song. She walked down the stairs to the middle of the lifters and said gently, "I know this is a challenge for you, but agriculture is the foundation of the country's development. Only by understanding the way of farming can we better govern the country and benefit the people. ”
She paused and continued, "I know many of you may have never been exposed to agronomy, but remember that learning is a process. You have a keen mind and a wealth of knowledge, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, I believe you will be able to master the knowledge of agriculture. ”
Although Zhao Yingluo's words are gentle, they are full of firmness and confidence. She believes that she made the right decision and that she is capable of meeting the challenge.
However, the mood of the lifters did not become lighter. They knew that in order to excel in the imperial examinations, they had to study hard about agriculture. This is a completely new field for them, full of unknowns and difficulties.
After Zhao Yingluo announced this decision, the atmosphere in the Imperial Garden became heavy. The lifters were talking about this sudden change, their faces full of anxiety and uneasiness. But in any case, this decision could not be changed, and they had to try to adapt and meet this new challenge.
In Zhao Yingluo's heart, she looks forward to these lifters being able to find fun and growth in their future studies and contribute to the prosperity and stability of the Great Song Dynasty.
After learning that Zhao Yingluo's decision could not be changed, the mood of the lifters changed from frustration to anxiety. They returned to their villages and towns and eagerly flocked to the fields to learn how to grow them.
In the middle of the fields, a busy scene. The lifters communicated with the farmers, learned the skills of farming, and tried to sow seeds, fertilize and water them with their own hands. Although they were clumsy at first, everyone was full of determination and hard work.
"You see, this seed has to be buried deeper, so that it can take root and sprout." A farmer patiently teaches a young lifter.
"I see, thank you for the advice." Learn with an open mind and strive to master every detail.
In this process, the lifters not only learned the knowledge of agriculture, but also realized the hard work and hardship of the farmers. They began to understand why Zhao Yingluo added agriculture to the imperial examination, not only to select more well-rounded talents, but also to enable them to get closer to the people's livelihood and understand the foundation of the country.
Over time, the juzi gradually mastered the basics of agronomy, and their performance in the field became better and better. Although the process was full of difficulties and challenges, they all persevered and proved their abilities with their own efforts and sweat.
In the process, the mentality of the lifters has also changed. They no longer see agronomy as a burden and a nuisance, but as an opportunity to grow and exercise. They began to cherish the experience and appreciate the challenges and opportunities that Zhao Yingluo brought to them.
When the imperial examinations in the autumn finally arrived, the lifters walked into the examination room with confidence. They not only showed their talents in literature, economics and righteousness, but also showed their hard work and efforts in the farmland in the agricultural examination.
