Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

In fact, modern people don't know much about the ancient imperial examinations, and they always think that the imperial examination system is very rigid, but this is not the case.

In fact, there are many subjects in the imperial examination, including Jinshi, Mingjing, Mingfa, Mingzi, Mingshu, etc. In addition, occasionally some dynasties also have martial arts.For example, in the Qing Dynasty, special subjects such as Erudite Ci, Translation, Economics, etc. were opened.

Among them, Jinshi Section and Mingjing Section are the mainstream of the imperial examination, and the examination content includes Mo Yi, oral examination, pasting scriptures, policy questions, and poems.

Among them, the posting of scriptures runs through from the boy's test to the general test, which is equivalent to the inspection of the basic skills of scholars, so it is very important.Basically, it is required to be correct in order to pass the exam.

The advantage of this is that it is easy to quote scriptures as long as you are flexible in your mind and speak well.

Ping An himself did not know such a person, and friends around him seemed to ask Du Niang about something, but it was hard to say how much he could remember.But Ping An has heard that when Mr. Qian Zhongshu compiled "Guan Zhui Bian", he didn't have any materials around him and relied entirely on his memory.Such literary quality is simply awe-inspiring.

Therefore, the development of the Internet does not know whether it is good or bad.Ping An has seen it in many literary works. After the development of the Internet to the extreme, paper books have completely disappeared and replaced by network storage.After that, mankind suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, because the server storing these data was damaged, causing a breakdown in human civilization.

Although the brain hole is big, it may not be impossible.

It's far away... For Ping An, what he needs now is exactly this kind of talent.

You can tell which allusion comes from a certain book without even turning the pages of the book. For some powerful ones, you can even tell the page and line.This saves a lot of time searching for information and greatly improves the efficiency of book compilation.

Ping An couldn't do it by itself, but whether it's the Wen family or the talented Confucian teachers they recruited, it seems to be very easy for them to do this.

So in the beginning, Ping An was able to give advice as a "consultant", but later found that everyone seemed to be stronger than himself, and his self-confidence suffered a huge blow, and he couldn't love it for a while.

Afterwards, unless there was something difficult to decide, Mr. Wen sent someone to invite him, otherwise Ping An would not easily go over and be stimulated by this.

People who get poked short can't afford to hurt.

Ping An, who has always claimed to be a "mental worker", suddenly discovered that what he is more suitable for now is a "manual worker".That is to go to the construction site to supervise the construction of the library, and at the same time inspect the construction company to see if there is anything that can be adjusted in terms of management or implementation.

Other than that, there are not many things to worry about.So Ping An suddenly realized that he was free again.

In the free time, Ping An went to Xu Wenmei to spend time with him.Xu Wenmei disliked him very much, "It's fine when I'm old, I should take care of my life. You are young, what's the matter with me all day long?"

At this time they were rowing a boat to fish for water chestnuts on the river. ——Xu Wenmei's residence is by the river. There is a small gate at the back of the house, and a small pier has been built. The boat is tied there when it is not in use, and the anchor rope can be untied when it is needed to travel.

The water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, and the products in the water are naturally very rich.When Ping'an came, it was the season when the lotus seeds and water chestnuts were ripe, and Xu Wenmei was immediately urged to swim in the river.

At this moment, he was peeling a crisp water chestnut and putting it in his mouth. Hearing this, he said with a smile, "I am here, of course to serve Master. Otherwise, how could Master lie on the boat so leisurely and wait to eat?"

Xu Wenmei raised her foot and kicked him, "You eat more than me!" And if you picked something fresh, you must be the first to eat it, and you never thought of honoring him as a master!

In fact, Xu Wenmei didn't use any force, but Ping An let out an "ouch" and intentionally rowed the boat crookedly and almost capsized.

It is said that after Ping An came here, the boating technology has improved by leaps and bounds. At the beginning, he could only paddle hard stupidly, watching the boat circle in the river, but not moving forward.Now it can be messed up naturally.

But no matter how violent the boat was, Xu Wenmei didn't seem to notice it.

Seeing this, Ping An wanted to overturn the boat directly.But after much deliberation, I still didn't do it.After all, he is his own master, so the crime of deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors is too great.

The two tossed on the lake for most of the day, and returned with half a boat full of lotus pods and water chestnuts.Kai Yang came back at some point, seeing that half of Ping'an's body was soaked in the river water, he lifted up the front part of his robe in a nondescript manner, and pocketed the lotus pods and water chestnuts, he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth and forehead. The blue veins jump straight.

The master asked himself to report everything that happened along the way in Ping An. Do you want to report this kind of image-destroying thing?

In addition, there is another question that has been filling Kaiyang's mind, making him puzzled. ——Although he also admitted that Ping An is very powerful, especially the bomb that he made in the northwest before, it can be called a killer.But even so, Kai Yang still couldn't figure it out, how did his master see peace?

In other words, where is Ping An?

"Kaiyang, you're back?" Seeing him, Ping'an ran over excitedly, "I picked fresh water chestnuts and lotus roots today, you are lucky. By the way, is there any news from your Highness?"

"Your Highness said that the capital has calmed down, and asked when you will go back." Kai Yang said with a straight face.

Ping An scratched his head, "The things here are not over yet, so I can't go back for now."

Kai Yang glanced at the things he was carrying, thinking that the things here are not over yet, is it because the things here are not finished yet?

Ping An ignored Kai Yang's slander. In this era, transportation is inconvenient, and many things are regional.Therefore, you can't eat such fresh lotus seeds and water chestnuts in the capital.That being the case, it is rare for him to come here, and of course he has to eat enough money.

After getting the lotus pods and water chestnuts off the boat, Ping An straightened his clothes and jumped into the river with a plop, which startled Kai Yang, subconsciously wanted to follow to save others, but was held back by Xu Wenmei.

"It's okay, he's going to get the shrimp pot."

Sure enough, after a while, Ping An came out of the water with the cage in hand, and excitedly shouted at Xu Wenmei, "Master, there is a fish today!"

"The river fish has a strong fishy smell and doesn't taste good." Xu Wenmei said with disgust.

The fishy smell he mentioned refers to the smell of earth, because most of these fish live in the mud at the bottom of the river, so if they are not handled well, they will have a heavy fishy smell, which is difficult to swallow.For Xu Wenmei, who "never tires of fine food and delicious food", this taste is even more unbearable.

In fact, the same is true for river prawns, but since Ping An brought "external" chili powder from the capital to make spicy crayfish, Xu Wenmei happily accepted it as a member of the table.

Ping An said with a smile, "Master, try the boiled fish fillets I made."

Naturally, lunch is in the hands of Ping An.The rice is porridge with lotus seeds and water chestnut, and the dishes are spicy crayfish and boiled fish fillets.After the dishes were cooked, there was a strong aroma in the yard, which attracted people around to open their doors to look.Kai Yang, who was already hungry, felt that he was even hungrier.

Although this taste is a bit choking, but it is true!often!fragrant!

After eating lunch like wind and clouds, Ping An and Xu Wenmei sat in the yard with a rattan chair to bask in the sun.The broad leaves of the magnolia tree covered the sky above their heads densely. The two of them kept the same posture and leaned on the recliner, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, causing the corner of Kai Yang's mouth to twitch again.

Kaiyang didn't have the habit of taking a lunch break, so naturally he disappeared again.When he came back, Ping An had already woken up and was squatting on the pier behind the house, not knowing what he was doing.Kai Yang couldn't help walking over and asking, "What are you doing?"

Ping An turned his head to look at him, smiled "Oh", then reached out to fish in the water, and after taking it out again, he was already holding three river snails in his hand.I don't know how long these river snails have grown. Each one is the size of a walnut and looks shiny.

Kai Yang: "...What are you doing grabbing this?"

Ping An said with a smile, "Of course I caught it and ate it. Would you like to help too?"

"How to catch this?" After eating lunch, Kai Yang did not rashly despise Ping An's recipes, and after a moment of hesitation, he came over and squatted with him.

"Look at it." Ping An said and put his hand in the water.Because the river water is very clear and the distance is close, Kaiyang quickly saw that Ping An had pulled these river snails down from the stone walls on both sides of the river.

I don't know if I don't look at it, but when I saw it, I was startled, and Kaiyang noticed that there were an unknown number of river snails densely attached to the stone wall.

How many dishes would have to be cooked if they were all rolled up!Kai Yang couldn't help swallowing, and stretched out his sinful claws.

What he had practiced was really different, and the basin he took out safely was full after a while, and he quickly stopped fishing for the addicted Kaiyang, "This is enough."

Kaiyang was still full of ideas, "Grab some more and eat tomorrow."

"Friend, do you know about sustainable development?" Ping An asked, twitching the corners of his mouth.

Kai Yang looked at him suspiciously.

Ping An patted Kaiyang's shoulder with his wet palm, and said earnestly, "We must leave a way for these river snails to survive, so that next year, the year after, and every year after that, they will have something to eat!"

Kai Yang suddenly realized, "But next year we will return to the capital."

The implication is that "I can't eat anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I stay or not", and Ping An was so scared that he quickly pulled the person away.Unexpected oh unexpected, Kai Yang rushed to kill them all, he was much more powerful than himself!

Ping An couldn't help thinking about a question that he had been skeptical about in modern times: Is food food contagious?

……

The leisurely days passed by.Four months later, the Jiangnan Library was officially completed.

What Pingan didn't expect was that Jiangnan's literary style was really prosperous. After the establishment of Jiangnan Cement Factory, other places did not wait for the construction company to free up manpower. Instead, the government came forward, gentry raised donations, and hired ordinary people to start building books. museum.

The Huangchu Library in Beijing has five floors, and the Jiangnan Library was only built with four floors in the end, but it occupies a larger area.Libraries in other states are two-story and three-story buildings. The difficulty of construction is low, and the speed is naturally faster. In the end, it was completed almost like the Jiangnan Library.

Moreover, once the library was completed, many people immediately donated books, and soon filled the empty library, and then officially opened to the public.

This efficiency makes Ping An amazed.

That is to say, Jiangnan, and other places, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort.However, with the leading role played by Jiangnan Road, if the government in other places does not want to be reprimanded by the emperor, they will only pay more attention to this.In this way, it will be easier when you want to implement it.

Ping An stayed in the south of the Yangtze River until it was close to the twelfth lunar month before leaving for the capital.

But in fact, the emperor didn't mean to call Ping An back.Probably he also felt that the turmoil caused by Ping An was too great, and it would take a few years to settle down.

After all, he is getting older, not as aggressive as when he was young.The emperor felt that his energy was not as good as before, and he also knew that his body was starting to have problems, and he didn't know how long he could last.But it won't be long after all.

So in the past few years, he naturally hoped that Mrs. Chu would be peaceful and that nothing unexpected would happen.In this way, he will be able to explain to his ancestors.

Under such circumstances, the emperor certainly would not recall Ping An back to Beijing.

In fact, the reason why he "punished" Ping An at the beginning was not because of the accident in Qinzhou, but also because he meant to "make use of the problem".After all, if it's just about Qinzhou, he can't possibly fail to protect safety.

And choosing to do this is naturally for the sake of Da Chu's future.

Just as the emperor had thought before, a capable person like Ping An would naturally be reserved for his successor.

But when Ping An was by his side, he was at the height of the sun, how could he be convinced in the future that the new emperor who had just ascended to the throne was in an unstable position?So at this time, the emperor is bound to frustrate Ping'an's spirit and suppress him.When the new emperor ascends the throne, and then grants him the grace to return to Beijing to serve his life, it will be easier to win his heart.

This is a common method used by the royal family, and the emperor does not think there is anything wrong with his arrangement.

So when he heard that Ping An had gone to Jiangnan, he didn't respond.They even feel that it is a good thing for Ping An to stay away from the center of power for the time being.

Even if Ping An stays in Jiangnan for three or five years, he probably won't have any problems.But the reason why he returned to the capital was mainly because he had promised Zhao Can before.Zhao Can would definitely be angry if he didn't go back for a long time.He was angry, and the unlucky one was naturally himself.

Furthermore, on the side of the Huangchu Library, Ping An can't be completely a hands-off shopkeeper.After gaining the experience from Jiangnan, when I come to the capital to organize the compilation of books, I will have a lot more rules.What Ping An has to do is to send these experiences over.

When Ping An left the capital, it could be said that he had a good time, and many people came to see him off.But when he came back, it was silent.

Of course, it's not that everyone didn't get the news, it's just that they figured out something from the emperor's attitude, so naturally they didn't dare to show too close to Ping An.This is human nature, and Ping An doesn't care.

What made him interesting was that he sent someone to Zhang Dongyuan to ask for things, which would be delivered soon, but Zhang Dongyuan himself had no intention of seeing him again.Pingan saw a clue from it, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The only one whose attitude has not changed is Fu Yan.

He was originally the kind of person with a square and serious temperament, and he would not be moved by external things at all.Therefore, whether it is safe and prosperous or whether it is poor, it does not make any difference to him.He cared more about what Ping An brought back from Jiangnan.

""Laws of Nature"? The name "Tao" has some meaning." He took the book that Ping An gave him, and commented while flipping through it.

Ping An said, "Explore the principles that exist in nature, so it is called the principles of nature."

Fu Yan nodded, flipped through it for a while, and found that he just picked out the contents of the past books, and couldn't help thinking about it.

The book classification method was tossed out by him and Ping An.Therefore, we know more about Ping An's persistence in this aspect than anyone else.But now, he seemed to understand the meaning of peace.These things originally existed in the classics, but the content was scattered and not systematic.

What Ping An wants to do is to summarize these things and form a new system, which is what he calls natural science.

From this small matter, Fu Yan can see that Ping An sees the big because of the small, and I am afraid that when he does everything, he has already thought about it for a long time.Such a long-term vision is a blessing for Da Chu.But for Ping An himself, I am afraid it is not a good thing.

Because what he can see, others cannot see.So what he wants to do will inevitably be hindered.

Even Fu Yan himself was once a member of the obstruction of peace, so the feeling is even more profound.Although he didn't know what Ping An wanted to do, he could tell from the matter of compiling the book that it would be a difficult task.

Fu Yan didn't rashly comment on what Ping An was going to do, and he didn't even show that he had already guessed part of the content.After all, he himself is not a talkative person, besides, at this age, he already has his own path and persistence, and he will not rashly accept what is safe. In this case, it is useless to ask.

So he quickly refocused his energy on this "Law of Nature", and began to absorb the experience that can be learned and used for reference.When he finally put down the book, he couldn't help sighing, "Although there are many conveniences in being in the court, but when doing things, you are restricted everywhere."

Ping An said with a smile, "I have always believed that there is no absolute freedom and fairness in this world, everything is relative. If you feel that you are being restrained, I think it is because you have not figured out the rules of the court, and will Get yourself into it. Once you get into it, you'll find that whatever was holding you back can now be used to help you."

"Just like you, Mr. Feng?" Fu Yan was thoughtful upon hearing this.

He and Feng Zhang were good friends, and there were no conflicts of interest after entering the court, so the relationship was naturally very close.However, seeing Feng Zhang gradually blending into the imperial court and becoming the kind of person he hated most in the past, Fu Yan's mood is actually very complicated.

It's a kind of helplessness that doesn't know whether what you insist on is right or wrong.

Hearing Ping'an's words now, I couldn't help frowning, "So, no matter what kind of rules it is, we must integrate into it? Otherwise, it's wrong?"

"No." Pingan denied categorically, "Throughout the ages, there are too many people who are unwilling to become officials, because they represent another kind of rule, that is, another kind of freedom. Mister's insistence today is probably another kind of rule. Woolen cloth?"

Fu Yan was shocked all over, and after a while he exhaled slowly, "It's me who has a picture."

In fact, his biggest problem is that he has accepted the employment of the court, but he is unwilling to change his principles.If he could be as tactful as Feng Zhang, he would naturally not have such worries.If you can completely abandon the imperial court, you won't feel constrained.

Only then did Fu Yan realize that Ping'an's understanding of these matters is probably much deeper than his own.He originally planned to persuade Ping An, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.Peace of mind, I understand better than anyone what the situation is now.

After taking his farewell from Fu Yan, he walked safely on the street, watching the shops on both sides of the street decorated with lights and festoons, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year has gradually become lively and peaceful.

In such an atmosphere, Ping An suddenly felt a bit like returning home.

Although his current residence is not exactly a "home", it is still a very comfortable place after all.The only pity is that there are probably more people staring at him now, and even private contacts with Zhao Can will be temporarily cut off.

Ping An couldn't help but sighed.

When he got home, he packed up all the things he had brought back to Zhao Can and handed them to Kai Yang to take away.For the time being, the two can only communicate in this way.

Under such circumstances, Ping An had a very unhappy year.

So after the new year was over, seeing that there was nothing to worry about in the capital, Ping An planned to leave the capital again and go for a walk.

Ping An attaches great importance to the construction of libraries.The deeper reason is that, through the library, scholars all over the world—especially poor scholars—can be connected into a network, and being in the center of this network will naturally be a little bit sensitive to any change in any point. palm.

Through this method, the talents of Da Chu can be completely grasped in the hands, and will not be easily missed.This is a powerful supplement to the imperial examination system, and it is also very important.
