[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

Walking to Lin Ruhai's office, Lin Yuzhou sat on a chair and asked, "Recently, I have been busy with the reorganization of the Imperial Academy. Are grandma, mother, and Yu'er all right?" The staff dormitory is convenient for everyone to work overtime and rest. He mostly lives there during this period, and lives in the palace for the rest of the time. He hasn't returned to the Lin Mansion for a long time.

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai sneered and asked, "Do you remember them?"

Lin Yuzhou scratched his nose, and approached Lin Ruhai to beg for forgiveness.

Lin Ruhai pushed Lin Yuzhou's head away, and said angrily: "Your grandmother is in good health and is in good spirits. She is looking forward to your return every day, and she is a little thinner."

"Return, my son will definitely go back today!" Lin Yuzhou flattered him.

Lin Ruhai laughed a few times. Thinking of Jia Min, he suppressed his smile and sighed: "Your mother has been worrying a lot recently, and you know about the Jia family. Your grandmother, second aunt, and Jia Lian and his wife were all taken away. There is no room for turning around if you seek rebellion."

Lin Yuzhou recalled Ji Geng's memorial that he had seen in the imperial study, and asked, "How is the situation of the Ningrong Second Mansion?"

"What else can I do? The Jia family's managers were also involved, and they were all arrested. I heard from your mother that all the maids and servants in Ning Rong's second mansion who can walk have left. The rest are either missing relatives or living with the Jia family You can't leave after signing a death contract." Lin Ruhai was in a heavy heart, after all, it was his wife's mother's house, and now that something like this happened, it is impossible to let go of it completely.

The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and the wall fell and everyone pushed, Lin Yuzhou pursed his lips, and asked again: "Where's Jia Baoyu?"

"I was still in a daze and didn't wake up. Now the maids around him are almost gone. Only one named Qingwen and one named Sheyue stayed by his side to take care of him. Jia Jing will go back in the near future, no matter what the final result is, Both governments need someone who can take charge."

Lin Yuzhou nodded and recalled the original work. There should be a maid beside Jia Baoyu, so he asked Lin Ruhai, "Where is the girl named Xiren next to Jia Baoyu?"

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Yuzhou, frowned and said, "Who is Xiren?" He paid attention to the Ningrong Second Mansion purely because of Jia Min's face. He knew that the two maids around Jia Baoyu were rare, and the previous maids must be the same. I don't know.

Lin Yuzhou shook his head. He should find time to ask Lin Cong this question. According to Lin Cong's character, he must have already inquired clearly about what happened in Rongguo Mansion.

Putting the matter of Jia Baoyu aside, Lin Yuzhou got down to business: "Father, in February next year...the emperor will open Enke, and before that, the capital will be renovated. This is the first time that cement has been used on a large scale. The Ministry of Industry had better arrange manpower in advance."

"En." Lin Ruhai stroked his beard. His subordinates couldn't wait to show the results to the world. Restoring the capital is an opportunity, and they will definitely seize it.

Lin Yuzhou felt relieved and said with a smile: "In addition to cement, it is an agricultural pilot project. This plan has been implemented for a while, and it's time to announce the results." In the new dynasty and new weather, high-quality grain seeds will bring huge benefits to the people, and will also Let Ji Shengyan's reputation rise to a higher level.

Lin Ruhai naturally agreed, and was about to tell Lin Yuzhou about the latest progress of the Ministry of Agriculture when Tang Chengzu came to report that the Minister of the Ministry of War and General Feng were about to fight.

Lin Yuzhou rushed out at once, he didn't want to be used as cannon fodder by Lin Ruhai, the old fox should be dealt with by the old fox.

Walking out of the gate of the Ministry of Industry, Lin Yuzhou looked up at the sky. He always felt that after Ji Shengyan became the emperor, he was even more tired, and he really wanted to become a witch who seduced the king from going to court early.

Time passed slowly, and today's Ji Dynasty is like a high-speed machine, working day and night.Everyone worked hard day and night, and before we knew it, it was December.

After several months of high-intensity work, the courtiers were tired and peeled off.What they did in just three months was more than what they had done in the past ten years. Looking back at the results of the three months, everyone is very proud.Ji Guo became stronger and stronger, no matter how busy or tired they were, they were all happy with it.

On the third day of December, a carriage galloped along the official road, and when it was approaching the border of the capital, the driver let out a long hiss and stopped the horse.

"Young master, look quickly!"

Fu Jue put down the book in his hand, opened the curtain of the car and asked, "What's the matter?" As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped talking, only to see that the official road in the boundary of the capital was completely different from the official road they were in.

On their side is a gravel dirt road with potholes. On the opposite side is a white road paved with unknown materials. It is flat and wide. There is a darker road on both sides of the white road, which is covered with fine sand. I don’t know what it is for. of.

The coachman was not sure: "Master, did we go to the right place?"

"No." Fu Jue jumped out of the carriage, walked to the white official road, tested the hardness of the road under his feet, looked at the horseshoe, and said to the coachman, "drive the carriage to the dark road, it can't run here."

The coachman was puzzled: "Ah? Why?"

"It's too smooth, it will hurt the horse's legs, do as I say." Fu Jue clapped his hands and returned to the carriage.

The coachman did as he said, and when he got back on the road, he muttered, "Then what are you doing with this white road? You can't run horses, what a waste."

The road became smoother, the carriage was no longer bumpy, and it was more suitable for reading.Fu Jue picked up the book again, and when he heard the coachman complain, he smiled, Yuzhou never does things that are useless, this white road is not suitable for horses to run fast, but it is better than a dirt road with potholes, besides, it is not specially prepared " Road"?

The carriage galloped on the open official road, running at a speed like the wind. Before noon, Fu Jue and the others arrived at the gate of the city.

The word "Jingshi" hanging above the city gate is shining golden in the sunlight.

After entering the city, Fu Jue and the coachman were a little stupid. They might not know the capital after a few months.

The first thing that catches the eye is the wide road. There are horse racing tracks on both sides of the road. There are no people on it, only horse-drawn carriages pass. The white road in the middle is clean and spotless, and there is no smell after entering the city.What shocked them even more was that the buildings on both sides of the city were completely new, and they were built exactly the same. There were still flower pots in front of every house, with... scallions growing in them?

Fu Jue got out of the carriage, he sent the coachman away, and prepared to take a good tour of the new capital.

"cousin?"

Song Ming's voice came from behind, Fu Jue turned around and saw Song Ming running from the gate of the city, waving his hands while running.

After Song Ming ran close, Fu Jue stared at his face, and asked hesitantly: "You...how did you become so dark? What are you carrying?" Without a servant or a book boy, he carried things by himself. When did Song Ming become so... er, diligent?

Song Ming threw the things in his hands on the ground, and wiped his face in a very unimpressive manner, "I have been away for so long, can I not get dark? This cloth bag contains improved potatoes and sweet potatoes. I will take them back Give mom and dad a taste."

Fu Jue opened the cloth bag and saw the huge fruit inside, and asked, "After improvement, can they grow so big?"

Song Ming nodded: "Yes! The improved varieties have been popularized, and the common people plant some every year. No matter how bad the year is, people will not starve to death. Moreover, according to people from the Ministry of Agriculture, the improved corn has already begun to be promoted. The next goal is to Improved rice seeds."

He didn't quite understand Song Ming's words, but Fu Jue didn't continue to ask. Anyway, he had already returned to Beijing, so he didn't care about the moment, but Song Ming was carrying a cloth bag, so they couldn't chat while walking around.

Song Ming saw Fu Jue's concern, he picked up the bag and walked towards the city gate.After a while, two young men came from outside the city gate. He threw the cloth bag to them and ran to Fu Jue happily.

"Cousin, let's go, I'll take you around the capital."

Fu Jue glanced at the two men and asked, "Who are they?"

"My classmate."

Fu Jue stopped in his tracks. What he wanted to ask just now, shouldn't Song Ming study in the Imperial College?What did he mean by staying away for a long time?

Song Ming knew about Fu Jue's doubts, he sighed, and said, "Cousin sees the changes in the capital, right?"

Fu Jue nodded, the city became cleaner and more orderly, and even the spirit of the people seemed to improve.

"It's not just the things in front of us that have changed. All aspects of the court have changed, including our Guozijian." Song Ming recounted the whole incident.

In the first examination of the Imperial Academy's reorganized secretariat, a large number of officials from the Imperial Academy poured out, and all those who failed were sent to the Imperial College and Taixue.Ji Shengyan didn't deprive these people of their fame, but just allowed them to continue their studies, and at the same time gave them a chance to be promoted again, that is, to assist officials of the Ministry of Industry in the construction of the capital.

At the beginning, these people still couldn't lose face, but after a long time, they compromised and participated in the work of the Ministry of Industry with talents recommended by the local government.People who are able to enter the Imperial Academy are not fools for statistical measurement, calculation and planning. These people are quick to get started, but no matter how fast they are, they can't hold back the talent gap of the imperial court.

The Ministry of Water Resources is short of manpower, the Ministry of Agriculture is short of manpower, the reform of the Ministry of Household Affairs is in urgent need of manpower, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment are also robbing people. In short, as long as you have the ability, the imperial court will give you a chance to shine, but even so, there are still few talents.

"So the students who are still studying hard at the Imperial College and Taixue are also assigned jobs, called 'internships', which was proposed by Yuzhou. Now I am helping the Ministry of Agriculture of the Ministry of Industry. After the internship, the Ministry of Industry will write to me The Guozijian will also write down the evaluation letter on my resume, which is one of the important references for future appointments."

Song Ming babbled a lot, and Fu Jue became hot when he heard it, and he could imagine how powerful the Ji Dynasty would become in the future.

"'Internship' will also be promoted." Seeing Fu Jue looking at him, Song Ming lowered his voice: "Didn't my father be transferred back to the capital? I heard his conversation with uncle. Jurisdiction, choose a college with the highest reputation to award a special medal. These colleges can cooperate with the imperial court to enable their students to participate in internships in local institutions, which will also be the most important part of their resumes. Of course, these colleges are definitely not as good as the Imperial College."

Fu Jue felt a sense of pride from Song Ming. He had a feeling that Yuzhou and the emperor might want to make Guozijian the best college in Ji Dynasty, and they might also want to reform the imperial examination.

"I heard that Enke will be added in February next year when I was in Yanmenguan. Are you ready? You have been staying in the Ministry of Agriculture. Do you have time to read?"

Fu Jue's question made Song Ming sad, and he said with a bitter face: "Cousin, the scientific examination is only the first hurdle. After passing the scientific examination, we can only be qualified to be officials. If we want to be appointed by the court, we need Only those who pass the Ji Dynasty official examination can enter the court."

Speaking of this, Song Ming was about to burst into tears: "The examination for officials in the Ji Dynasty has a variety of contents. The Four Books and Five Classics only account for a small part. Fact analysis, court regulations, mathematical calculations, diplomatic relations, etc. are all included in the exam. Inside."

After hearing this, Fu Jue asked, "How do you know? The exam content has been announced?"

Song Ming sighed for a long time, and said: "After the Imperial Academy was changed into the secretariat, after the first examination paper was released, I found it and did it. I only scored 28 points. It is said that this examination paper The test paper is the template for the examination paper for officials of the Ji Dynasty."

Fu Jue patted Song Ming's shoulder, and after thinking for a long time, he comforted him, "You may be thinking too much, this assessment may not be that difficult."

Song Ming showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Cousin, you are so lucky. My father said that even if I am lucky, I passed the scientific examination, the official examination, and successfully entered the imperial court. If I want to be promoted in the future Salary, but also to participate in the internal upgrade assessment of the imperial government."

Fu Jue's heart twitched. He didn't need to take the scientific examination or the official examination, but he was going to take the promotion assessment, right?Is it so difficult to be an official in the Ji Dynasty now?
