Please, let me be a fool

As the supervising envoy, Zhang Yingxing set off the next day and was ready to open it.

Of course, Cheng Rui, who is the inspector censor, followed closely behind, but now he is mainly responsible for the collection of corvee by the Ministry of Industry.

Monitor whether any of them are forced to collect corvee, or if someone abuses their power.

And that is during this time.

Wei Yunyi can be said to be quite happy.

He found out from the memorial that because of the start of these two projects, the tax revenue just raised by the Ministry of Household Affairs was spent quite quickly, and almost all of it was spent like flowing water.

According to Zhang Yingxing's plan, although the Grand Canal has not yet started, sufficient silver must be prepared.

Besides, there is Wei Zhidao going on on the other side, which requires money.

implementation of these two projects.

It will inevitably consume a lot of money and national power of the court.

Especially when it is not built, it is almost useless.

Once the national power is exhausted, the luck will definitely decline.

Not to mention how much luck has been ruined,

All you need to do is to equalize the luck that increases every month, and that's at least 600 worth of foolishness.

Enough for Wei Yunyi to do many things.

How could he be unhappy?

Of course, such a speed of spending money.

Many officials in the court were dissatisfied.

Because it was too fast, [-]% of the tax that had just come up was directly deducted in less than a few days.

It should be noted that this is still the initial stage of the two projects, if they wait later, I am afraid that the cost will definitely be more.

Therefore, many officials took notes and requested that the two projects be postponed, which would be a waste of money and people.

In particular, Yushitai seems to have become more active recently.

There are more than a dozen memorials almost every day.

just.

After passing by Wang Shouyuan, more than a dozen a day seems to be nothing.

And Zhao Lingying also obeyed Wei Yunyi's order, completely ignoring such memorials.

She knows very well that whether it is the Grand Canal or Wei Zhidao, it seems to be a waste of money, but in fact it is of great benefit to Wei, especially after it is completed.

However, because of the influence of the memorial, Zhao Lingying was also thinking about money.

Although a large part of the tax revenue raised over the years has to be put down.

to do other things.

now.

Because of the two projects, the Ministry of Finance has almost cut off a lot of expenditures.

Now it seems that there will be no problem for the time being, but it will be different after a long time.

After all, the previous ones were the default expenditures of the imperial court, and now they have been cut off...

It means that some people can't get the money.

Although it is a small matter.

But the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by ant nests.

This is especially true for a huge country, where all aspects cannot be ignored.

Therefore, she also expressed her concerns, thinking about whether His Majesty has any solution to this.

But Wei Yunyi didn't care about these things, he just said that there are gains and losses, and in the face of big right and wrong, especially in the face of national policies that benefit the country and the people, many things can give way.

Zhao Lingying didn't refute this, because after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case.

Even reforms can't be perfect.

Not to mention two such huge projects?

Say.

In his eyes, these two projects have taken good care of the people, and the increased income for the people is tantamount to the imperial court benefiting the whole world.

Zhao Lingying, who has read many history books, understands very well that the so-called those who win the hearts of the people win the world, as long as they stand on the side of the people, no matter how much trouble arises, they don't have to worry about it.

At this moment, in Jingde Palace.

Zhao Lingying poured a cup of tea and said with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, the work on the Grand Canal and the straight roads are progressing smoothly recently, especially the Grand Canal, according to the notes on the construction supervisor Zhang Yingxing, it is now ready to start. "

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi nodded, it was less than ten days before the imperial meeting was obtained.

One of the two projects has already started, which can be described as rapid progress.

Of course, the reason for this is because of himself as the emperor.

The reason for the constant urging during this process.

Otherwise, I don't know how much time will be wasted.

"very good."

Wei Yunyi took a sip of his tea, and continued: "Remember, this is a major matter, and you should inform the household department. If Zhang Yingxing needs money, you should give it a direct reply, and don't delay the construction period."

Once the Grand Canal starts, it is best not to stop during the period, so that you can always ruin your luck.

The household department is in charge of the world's money and food, and if the household department is emptied, it is equivalent to the national treasury being emptied.

In this way, are you still afraid that the national power will not decline?

"The concubine knows."

Zhao Lingying replied that she is now in charge of handling the memorial.

So after the start of the two projects, it is necessary to grasp the whole process.

But in her eyes, everything is going well now, and there will be no problems, and she continued: "Your Majesty, the palace examination will be held in two days, this is the first imperial examination in the Tianqi Dynasty, and it is said that many talented candidates have been produced. "

"The Ministry of Rituals wrote a note, saying that after the topic of the imperial examination is drawn up, should it be submitted to the cabinet for review, or should it be reported to His Majesty first?"

As soon as this word comes out.

Wei Yunyi was stunned for a moment.

I almost forgot about the imperial examination.

In my memory, there were indeed several good talents in the imperial examination.

But who it was, he couldn't remember.

of course.

These don't need to think too much, you will know when the time comes.

Generally speaking, the imperial examinations are all under the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, from the rural examinations to the general examinations.

Therefore, in the meantime, Wei Yunyi, as the emperor, hardly has to worry about it, all he needs to do is wait.

But the imperial examination is different.

The palace examination needs to be presided over by the emperor himself.

If you pay more attention, you may even have to prepare for the topic.

However, if the emperor does not want to do this kind of thing, he can completely hand it over to the cabinet.

Just like the previous dynasty, that is, the dynasty of Wei Yunyi's father.

The palace examination questions are reviewed by the cabinet.

Just follow the rules.

After the Ministry of Rites draws up the topic, it must be approved by the emperor if it wants to hand it over to the cabinet.

But for Wei Yunyi, this kind of thing is too troublesome, so after hearing this, he said: "Well, I know, the imperial examination is a major matter, and the Minister of Rites should be approved and let him directly hand it over to the cabinet."

Originally, I couldn't take the exam by myself, but now I have to review the questions in person.

Of course he didn't want to.

With this time, can't you practice more alchemy and rest more?

And Hunjun, isn't that exactly what he wants to realize?

But soon, Wei Yunyi suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said: "No, let the Minister of Rites come to see me first, after all, Aifei is right, this is the first imperial examination in this dynasty, and I must Be mindful."

Previously, he was just troublesome.

But just now, Wei Yunyi realized.

In fact, it's okay to ask yourself to come up with a topic.

In this way, we can think of ways to disrupt the imperial examination.

Notice.

The imperial examination is now the most important part of the imperial court's selection of talents.

If the Ministry of Rites is allowed to come, it may still be the same as before, step by step, nothing new.

But if I want to be a fool, why not disrupt the situation in this regard, such as asking a weird topic.

In this way, it can also ruin some of your own reputation.

Wei Yunyi knew it clearly.

Because of the battle of Gaoyang Kingdom, his prestige among the common people has become higher and higher, which is much stronger than when he first ascended the throne.

According to the system's settlement of luck, in addition to economic, military, etc. that will affect luck.

The reputation of the emperor is also a very important part.

Because in this feudal dynasty.

The emperor's prestige is high, and it will also be blessed on the national fortune.

Now that his prestige is getting higher and higher, it will also affect the increase in luck.

Just like the emperor's prestige.

even if

But if the emperor has no prestige and is held responsible, it means that there will be no deterrence among the court and officials.

Luck will naturally weaken as well.

So at this time, we must find a way to make up for it. It happened that Wei Yunyi was also worried before, but now that the imperial examination has started, it might be a way.

Just as I thought before, I came up with a weird test question.

Let those candidates be confused and don't know why.

Although it can't play a big role.

But this way.

It can make those candidates feel that the emperor's question is absurd, and then publicize it outside, won't this be done?

Although Wei Yunyi felt in his heart that the effect was not very great, but no matter what, he had to give it a try.

After all, it is the imperial examination now, and the court's eyes are all focused on one place.

It's your chance to express yourself.

And the other side.

Zhao Lingying was stunned for a moment.

Your Majesty just said that he doesn't want to care about these things, why now...

But soon, she understood.

This is the first imperial examination in the Tianqi Dynasty, and His Majesty should pay attention to it.
