"Examination ...... I really don't know what kind of scene Yecheng will be in winter! ”

Zu Ti couldn't help but take a deep breath, if he was young, maybe he would also go to Yecheng to participate in the assessment, but now that he is the assassin of Yuzhou, he has to do his best for the Sima family.

Thinking of this, Zu Ti immediately summoned Zu Yue.

"Brother, you're looking for me?!" After Zu Yue saw Zu Li, he saluted Zu Li.

"Shi Shao, you order to go down, from next month, Xingyang, Chenliu, Yinji, and Gaoping will begin to strengthen their defenses, build barriers, strengthen training, and pay for all the money and food they need from us!" Zu Ti said flatly.

"Brother, these cities are all close to Liu Tai's sphere of influence, but Liu Tai is ready to fight!" When Zu Yue heard Zu Li's words, he was a little worried.

"Liu Tai will not attack us this year, he just took Shile's territory last year and ate a lot of oil, and now he is digesting it well, where is there time to attack us.

If there is no discord in the court, this is the perfect time to crusade against Liu Tai! Zu Ti couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

After a year, I originally thought that the disputes in the court could be reduced, but the contradictions between the Wang family and Sima Rui became more and more acute.

Even Liu Kui and Diao Xie had several conflicts with Director Wang, and in these conflicts, Sima Rui obviously had a little bit of favoritism towards Liu Kui and Diao Xie.

Obviously, as Sima Rui became the emperor and was no longer the original queen of Langya, Sima Rui was no longer satisfied with the governance method of "king and horse sharing the world", Sima Rui wanted to take power by himself and wanted to dominate the Jin court.

But the problem is that the current Liu Tai is eyeing the tiger, and even the system of the examination system has been figured out.

Jin Ting really can't go on like this, otherwise if civil strife breaks out, then the Jin Ting foundation is afraid that it will be ruined.

As a general of the frontier, the only thing Zu Ti can do is to train the city defense and soldiers of the frontier to be more elite, only in this way can Zu Ti have a little more sense of security in his heart.

However, Zu Ti also immediately wrote a letter and reported the matter of Liu Tai's promotion and examination system to the imperial court.

This kind of policy matter, even Zu Ti has no way to curb it, so he can only hand it over to the imperial court to discuss countermeasures, because Zu Ti really didn't want to rebel, if Zu Ti wanted to rebel, he would either learn from Liu Tai to recruit talents, or cut off the talents to go to Yecheng and keep them for his own use, but Zu Ti didn't do anything in the end.

Because many talents come from the family, Zu Li knows that as long as he does not rebel, he will not be able to give the family the benefits they want.

Zu Ti's letter was sent to the center, and Director Wang didn't do anything after reading it.

Because Director Wang knew that the status of this kind of examination system in the northern family was relatively low, and Liu Tai could only implement it if he firmly grasped the force, and it was absolutely impossible to implement this system in the Jin court, even if this system was implemented, it would be resisted by the family.

However, Diao Xie's main responsibility was to participate in the formulation of the imperial court's rules and regulations, and to implement the "broken government" with Liu Kui, and strive to maintain the imperial power and suppress the gate valve.

Therefore, Diao Xie immediately admonished Sima Rui, saying, "Now Liu Tai wants to use the examination system to select talents from all over the world, and from now on, the materials of the imperial court are determined by the imperial court, not by the family. ”

Sima Rui heard Diao Xie's words, but he was a little worried:

"But if you use this strategy, won't you offend the world's families, if so, how can my Sima clan have a foothold in Jiangnan!"

Diao Xie hurriedly said to Sima Rui: "It is precisely with this strategy that we can bypass the Wang family and contact other families." ”

Sima Rui heard Diao Xie's words, but he was in a bit of a trance, and hurriedly said, "Come quickly." ”

Diao Xie explained to Sima Rui, "Ru Linyun, "Zhou Yi" is Wang Fuhei, "Shangshu" is Kong Anguo and Zheng Kangcheng, "Zuo Chuan" is Du Yuankai and Fu Zishen, "Poems" is written by Mao Gong, and "Li" is followed by Zheng's ...... Even though the Wang family is rampant in the imperial court, if the doctrines that each family is good at are examined, the king successfully let the scholars of each family enter the imperial court, so that the Wang family can no longer cover the sky with one hand! ”

"Oh!" Sima Rui heard Diao Xie's words, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little excited.

He really didn't expect that the examination system circulating from Liu Tai would have such a role, which could help him achieve the purpose of winning over various families.

For Liu Tai, the examination system is a system that bypasses the examination system, which breeds the soil of the family, and is related to his own selection and storage of talents.

But for Sima Rui, the selection of talents from all over the world brought by this system is not important in itself, it is important to bypass the constraints of the Langya Wang family, so that he can choose a suitable family from his own family to check and balance the Wang family.

Therefore, Sima Rui immediately sent out the news, expressing his hope to discuss the examination questions with the family under the command of the Jin court, so as to select suitable talents to serve the imperial court.

Of course, the Langya Wang clan is also among them, but the Langya Wang clan is indeed weaker than the other theoretical families in terms of pure learning.

There is no way, the generations of the Langya Wang family have focused on helping the Sima family stabilize the situation in the imperial court, like Sima Yue with Wang Kuang and Wang Yan, and now Sima Rui with Wang Dao and Wang Dun.

In this way, in terms of learning, the Wang family is naturally much worse than other families, and the rights of other families are not as great as the Sima family, so when they return home, they can only do learning.

This makes it impossible for the Wang family to participate in this new game when they want to participate in it.

In other words, the people brought by their own families can't even support the scene in the face of the elites taken out by other families.

There is no way, these Jin court families can also see it, no matter what Sima Rui and the Wang family are competing for this time, but the sweetness that finally came out of their fingers, they can't miss it, and they pounce decisively one by one.

Regardless of who you will help in the future, the only thing you know for sure is that you will take your place first.

It can be said that Diao Xie's hand did make the Wang family very passive, and they no longer carried out the inspection system, but after it became an examination system, the Wang family was a little uncomfortable for a while.

It's just that compared with Liu Tai's implementation of the examination system and striving for fairness and justice, for Sima Rui, the imperial examination system is a tool in his hands.

Whoever wants to take refuge in himself, Lao Tzu will immediately tailor an exam for you, and the exam must not be vague, write the family, even if you hand in a blank paper, you will pass.

However, in the end, the family of this era wants face, and they have already made questions according to what their family is best at, and they are still not vague about the examination system, and they will still be full of papers for the family.

So in this year, both Liu Tai and Sima began to implement the examination system.

Of course, the so-called system of probation and recommendation has not been abolished, and Jin Ting and Liu Tai will definitely continue to implement it.

At least for a long time, the parallel system of probation and examination will become the norm.

It's just that Liu Tai will be relatively harsh on the probation system, and all the people who are recommended have a joint relationship, and the examination system is a little more relaxed, at least the talents who pass the examination system are at least speechless in terms of strength.

In any case, it is not easy to organize an assessment involving the entire force, especially in some remote areas, and wait for them to come over.

So no matter how much this kind of thing is discussed, it is something that needs to be concerned in winter.

And Liu Tai's first concern is spring ploughing, with the end of spring ploughing, Liu Tai naturally put all his thoughts on the second concern, which is naturally the Yongji Canal that Cao Wei is building.

After a year of field survey, looking for the data of the water veins in various places, Guo Pu planned according to the topography of the mountains and rivers, opened up and widened the corresponding river channels, introduced canals to supplement the water veins of the waterways, and drew important nodes on the canals that conform to the topography of the mountains and rivers as wharves or markets.

Wang Bo put forward a specific construction plan based on the entire waterway and the experience of his ancestors in managing the Yellow River.

In particular, Wang Bo believes that because Yecheng is located at the junction of the two canals, the Licao Canal has been opened to communicate Zhangshui and Xishui, and has become an important node between the two sides, so this canal can be completely dismantled from one project to two projects.

One is to dredge Yecheng to Jinkou to ensure that the entire Zhangshui road is unimpeded, and build a port along the coast.

Another project is to open up all the passages from Yecheng to Jishui, so as to ensure that the road from Yecheng to Jishui is unimpeded.

It's just that there is a problem at this time, that is, there is an obvious drop in several rivers south of Yecheng, and the channel needs to be lengthened to solve the problem of water drop.

In this way, there is a lot of farmland that needs to be occupied, and even some of the farmland people have already cultivated it.

These need to be officially intervened, and a part of the people will be relocated, hoping that Liu Tai will pass it.

After Liu Tai read the plan, he said with a little doubt, "Why don't you use the canal locks?" ”

"What is a lock?" The group looked at the plan they handed in, and was somewhat dumbfounded when Liu Tai asked such a question.

Because Liu Tai took it for granted that the locks that existed in ancient times only appeared in the Song Dynasty.

Liu Tai only regarded the ship lock as a technology that appeared after the development of the modern shipping system, and immediately let the supervisor fly over.

Compared with doing it yourself, it's easier to do it yourself.

Under Liu Tai's words, Xie Fei built an open wooden box, and the water flow passed through the wooden box, and at the same time, a wooden boat floated in the wooden box.

The wooden bed floated in the wooden box, closed the sluice gates, and began to release water upstream, and as the current increased, everyone soon saw that the wooden boat was floating higher and higher, and then it passed smoothly from the lower river to the higher river.

"This is the lock!" Liu Taidao, "Is it through the buoyancy of the water to solve the canal facilities for ships to pass up and down?" ”

After seeing the simple model made by Liu Tai and Xie Fei, Cao Wei, Guo Pu and Wang Bo couldn't help but light up their eyes.

Because they found that if Liu Tai's lock was used, then the river channel that they had to detour because of the difference in height could be modified to a certain extent in many places where the height difference was not very large.

Therefore, Cao Wei said to Liu Tai, "Please give us seven days, and we will definitely present the new version of the design of Yongji Canal!" ”

Liu Tai heard Cao Wei's words and said to Cao Wei, "This matter is related to my luck as a man, but I will be careful, so I will give you half a month to revise the construction drawings and streamline the construction project."

If you need the support of computing power, you can also call up the military history and soldiers who are good at nine chapters of arithmetic. ”

The top scientists of this era were either killed in Luoyang at the beginning, or they were hermits and hid somewhere, or they went to the Western Jin Dynasty.

The most powerful arithmetic scholars in Liu Tai's hands should be Ge Hong and Guo Pu, Guo Pu is here, Ge Hong is still concentrating on the implementation of the plan of the Buddha is the Tao for the time being, so he can only use the number to top one first.

"King Xie!" Cao Wei didn't answer much when he heard Liu Tai's words, so he immediately took Guo Pu and Wang Bo down to change the map!

Although Liu Tai listed the Yongji Canal as the most important project, and all resources were open for this project, it was natural that Cao Wei had to gnaw down this project.

One of the first steps is to determine how many resources need to be provided for the development of this project, so that Liu Tai can make a good project plan, instead of thinking of where and then doing it, no matter how much money and food is not enough to fill in the project.

In addition, for Liu Tai, an engineering project can drive a lot of work up and down in the surrounding circle, thereby stimulating the economic vitality of the surrounding circle.

When Wang Bo proposed to divide the project into two projects to be implemented, at least Liu Tai agreed to this matter in principle.

Because for Liu Tai, by implementing the plan in this way, he can arrange different raw material supply bases.

One is to supply raw materials to the three states of Qinghai, Hebei and Youzhou around the Bohai Sea, and the other is to use the land of Hebei to supply raw materials, so that their power can be developed as a whole.

Politically, at least, it's a good choice.

Therefore, it is even more necessary for them to re-provide accurate construction plans for the project, so that Liu Tai can rest assured that the appropriation will be made.

In fact, it took Cao about nine days to come up with the new project.

This project requires 100,000 professional conscripts, 200,000 prisoners, 100,000 foreign captives, and no less than 500,000 conscripts who need to be supported by the surrounding areas.

In addition, it also needs the cooperation of local families, and the real people affected are more than three million people, from Jinkou to Jijun, and even this Yongji Canal spans the entire Jizhou.

This almost involves the construction plan of the main artery of the power that Liu Tai now has in his hands, and the drawings were sent to Liu Tai in this way.

The construction period of the entire construction plan is expected to be two years to completely open the Yongji Canal, so as to complete the northern section of the Grand Canal!

Liu Tai knew very well that as long as the Yongji Canal was opened, he would be able to use the resources of Shangbo Bay, and that would be the time for him to launch an attack on Zu Ti!

Liu Tai looked at the project and nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Cao Wei, "The Yongji Canal project has officially begun, and all this will be handed over to you!" ”

"Obey the order!" Cao Wei replied to Liu Tai.
