I will never be Renzong

Chapter 185 Palace Exam
In the Xuanzheng Hall, more than 200 Jinshi were stunned after receiving the questions for the palace examination, because this question was somewhat unexpected.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Not long ago, I appointed Fan Zhongyan as the governor of Gansu. Regarding the governance of the Qiang people, I implemented the land equalization system in the early Tang Dynasty. Lifetime use rights, but trading is prohibited.

This palace examination question is aimed at the land system implemented by the imperial court in Gansu, so I hope you can speak freely, integrate the ancient and modern land systems, boldly seek proof, and analyze which system is better! "

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he glanced at the servant, and then the servant shouted loudly: "The imperial examination begins!"

Zhao Zhen went to the upper seat, picked up a book and started to read it, and the important officials of the court also acted as the invigilators for one time. Of course, they have all reached the stage of the imperial examination, and no one will cheat.

The palace examination originated in the period of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty. Although it was proctored by the emperor, it was actually just a show. The emperor said a few sentences at the beginning and end of the question, and it was over.

The palace examination was completed within one day, and the examination papers were reviewed and judged by the examiners first.The emperor will personally review the top ten test papers in the palace examination.Generally speaking, the marking process is limited to two days to complete.

Zhao Zhen did not disclose the topic of the palace examination to anyone, and before the palace examination, he did not consult any officials in the court. Therefore, it was not until the palace examination kicked off that the officials knew what the topic of the palace examination was. I have to say, The subject of this palace examination is like a cactus, with thorns all over the body, and the pricks are ruthless.

The 246 Jinshi who participated in the imperial examination were scratching their heads and racking their brains to figure out how to solve the problem.

Of course, there are also those who have a well-thought-out plan. After thinking for a while, they start to write like a cloud, but whether they are made up indiscriminately or have their own talents, only in the future can we know.

The time for a stick of incense has passed, and Jinshi in the second and third lists wrote more by hand, because they knew that it would not be their turn to be the number one scholar and Tanhua, so they first talked about the land systems of the past dynasties, and then When the wise ruler is in power, he is praised, and when the weak ruler is in power, he is relegated. However, the whole text does not mention the state-owned system of land.

Of course, there are also those who refuse to accept their fate. They began to think about the land system implemented in the Song Dynasty on Gansu Road, and wrote a lot of praise.

Han Qi stared at the test questions for a while. The state-owned system of land was not an unfamiliar word to the Song Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty directly controlled about 20.00% of the country's fields, and these fields were rented out to the common people. Family contract responsibility system for future generations.

Apart from studying the books of sages and sages, Han Qi usually pays attention to understanding the political affairs of the court. He has studied the various measures taken by the current officials after taking charge of the government, which shows that this is a king who dares to innovate, forges ahead, and is not content with being conservative.

The advantage of such a king is that the territory of the Song Empire will continue to expand, but the disadvantage is that I don't know how many people will stage white-haired black-haired people.

Han Qi analyzed the field system implemented in Gansu Road and felt that if this system was implemented throughout the Song Dynasty, the people would have no worries about food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, and the root cause of the problem could be solved. However, he believed that the current Song Dynasty was not suitable for large-scale This method is promoted because the power of the landlord class is so powerful that it can be said that it is deeply ingrained. If one does not do well, it is very likely to fall into a situation of eternal disaster.

Thinking of this, Han Qi suddenly felt full of remonstrance to say, so he quickly picked up his pen, and then wrote down all the thoughts and concerns in his heart.

Of course, there are people like Han Qi who have a lot of worries, and of course there are also people who have been dazzled by Zhao Zhen's words, such as Ouyang Xiu. Rich in the world, he even fantasized about the scene and wrote a hymn a hundred years later, just like the author who just entered kindergarten, determined to be admitted to Tsinghua University, with lofty aspirations.

The exam lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon, so during lunch, Zhao Zhen ordered the maid to bring a box of lunch and mung bean soup. After all, people are iron, and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.

Zhao Zhen did not stay to have dinner with all the Jinshi, but went to the residence of the nobleman Yeli, because he just received the news that Yeli was pregnant.

In history, Ye Lishi gave birth to three sons in a row to Li Yuanhao. Although they all died, most of them were caused by acquired factors.

In the past six months, Li Bing'er and Liu Lanxiang have been busy taking care of their daughters, and have hardly slept with them. Cao Danshu is still too young, and Zhao Zhen can't do it. Due to her physical condition, it will take at least a few days for Ren Qinger to recover. Ah Ya has always kept a low profile, and over time, Zhao Zhen was too lazy to go. The most important thing is that the mature and charming Wuzang and Yeli families came to the palace, and Zhao Zhen didn't bother to train disobedient concubines anymore.

More than 200 Jinshi, regardless of grain, were brought to Chongzheng Hall. Zhao Zhen didn't take a look at the hungry people until he had a meal at Yelishi's place.

Zhao Zhen did not embarrass them, but gave everyone the same box lunch as the palace test personnel. After everyone finished their lunch with apprehension, Zhao Zhen said: "Why did I disqualify you from the palace test?" ?”

"I have read poetry and books, but I don't know the five grains. I have owed the sacred grace of the official family! I am ashamed!"

"I am ashamed of you! Officials!"

Although the people present were nerds, no matter what, they were the best among them, and their IQs were unquestionable, so they quickly understood Zhao Zhen's intentions.

"I am open to being an official. I am not only a learned person, but also have a practical knowledge of the world. I don't work hard, and I don't know the five grains. If this sentence falls on a scholar, it is a great thing. I don’t want to spend time and effort to choose someone who has a serious bureaucratic style, who is high on the top all day long, pampered, drunk with money, ignorant of social life and people’s conditions and opinions, and has to point fingers and make blind orders everywhere. Useless people in official language, I hope all the ministers will take warning!"

"The ministers must live up to the teachings of the officials!"

Everyone hurriedly prayed with grief.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen just said: "I will send you to the Ministry of Industry, and temporarily serve as a member of the Farmland and Water Conservancy Department. I will soon go to various farmlands to inspect. I hope that after I see you again, you will be able to take on a new look and become my best friend." Right arm and right arm!"

These people are actually talents, there is no mediocrity, but what they lack is practical ability. Since they lack it, then give them the opportunity to put it into practice. not late.
