[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

Yinzhen looked at Cao Zhen frequently, and the surprised eyes happened to fall into Yinreng's eyes.

Yinfeng flipped through the book in his hands calmly, observed him with two minds, and secretly guessed: the fourth brother does not seem to be an alien, but a bit like...

[Like what? 】

Xiaomei asked Yinfeng tremblingly, it never thought that Yinzhen would expose himself, and let the big friend find out!

Yongzheng has been the emperor for more than ten years, and he has been criticized by many people. The most talked about is his narrow-mindedness. As an emperor, he is naturally suspicious. How could he expose his lifeline to the eyes of big friends? ?With Yinzhen's cautiousness, it shouldn't be!

Bai Hu murmured and murmured something.

Yinzhen is sensitive, and it's not like he didn't feel that the prince looked at him peeking at him.

After reading the records in the book, Cao Zhen said to Yinfeng: "At present, it has been found that in the reign of the first emperor, in order to solve the flood problem of the Yellow River, officials who knew how to control the river were selected exceptionally. The victory is because he knows how to manage rivers, so he was promoted as an exception."

The Yellow River is silted up every year. In order to control the river, a large amount of money is invested in the national treasury every year to clean up the silt and support local officials to manage the river.

"Besides that, the most famous special course to recruit recruits is the Erudite Confucianism opened by the emperor."

The purpose is to win over Han literati, absorb Confucianism, and maintain the rule.

Yinreng is well aware of these reasons, and with these records, he pondered: "Then if we can persuade Khan Ama to set up a special department and recruit some more professional talents, it will be able to break the shackles of stereotyped essays. .”

"The stereotyped selection of scholars lies in its stability, convenience in governance, and convenience in reviewing files," Yinzhen said.

The initial setting of stereotyped candidates was also for the convenience of the examination, and to achieve the goal of recruiting as many talents as possible for the court to use fairly. It is unfair, so in order to facilitate the examination and review, there is a way to measure the quality of candidates' articles. The style of stereotyped essay was favored by the rulers at that time.

When the style of eight-legged essays was first implemented, no one would have thought that a hundred years later, scholars would spend all their energy on studying how to write eight-legged essays in order to cope with exams. more and more obvious.

Those who are admitted can write well, but they may not be able to do things.

Yinzhen also brought up the disadvantages of abolishing stereotyped essays, in order to tell Yinreng: This is not something that can be done in a day or two.

Yinfeng nodded: "Although it can't be done in a day or two, it is a good way to get out of the predicament step by step."

"The second brother of the prince is going to play to ask Khan Ama to set up a special department?"

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows. Ever since he exposed himself in front of Yinreng, he didn't seem to want to spend any more time trying to hide his clumsiness. The third child is an idiot, and now he doesn't know what to think. Cao Zhen is Yinreng again. All the initiative fell into the hands of Prince Yinreng.

Yinzhen is not an adventurous person, he will take the initiative to expose himself, for the purpose of being a "virtuous king" in this life.

Talking to the prince now is tantamount to tying himself and the prince to the same boat, which is also a kind of "surrender".

The prince has his handle in his hands, if he unites with him, he will be able to live a stable life under the prince's wings in the future and achieve his wish.And what Yinzhen has to do is to raise an idea at a critical moment, show that he is very good, and can help Yinreng.

He has observed the prince Yinreng in this life for several years, and he is very satisfied with the prince's character.

Not sticking to small profit fights, but focusing on the important matters of the country, having a broad vision and being able to love brothers, these points are enough to make Yinzhen take some actions to attract Yinreng's attention.

Let's talk about it earlier, and unite earlier. Judging from the recent progress of learning, Yinzhen already knows where Yinreng's structure is. Among them, the eighth, the prince Yinreng of this life is the most suitable to inherit the throne of Khan Ama.So even if he doesn't continue to be the emperor, Yinzhen will not let the eldest and the eighth inherit the throne.

Yinzhen figured it out, and planned to throw an olive branch to lure the prince to take the initiative to pull him onto his "boat".

But Yinzhen also knew that if Khan Ama didn't kill his son, even if his son made a big mistake, he would only end up in confinement.

"Speaking directly to Khan Amati, isn't that obviously revealing Gu's mind?" Yinfeng thought deeply: "Gu thinks it's better to go roundabout."

Yin Mo: "..."

"Second brother has already come to Zangshu Pavilion to look through these, Khan Ama will not be ignorant of what you are doing," Yinzhen changed his address unknowingly.

Cao Zhen organized all the books she had read into piles, and recounted the key contents she had read for Yinreng one by one.

Yinzhen's gaze gradually became complicated: Unexpectedly, Cao Yin's youngest son, who died young, was actually a genius with an unforgettable memory. This kind of talent is probably even better than Hengchen (Zhang Tingyu).

Thinking of the chief minister of the cabinet who was single-handedly promoted in the previous life, Yinzhen was in a delicate mood.

Heng Chen is the same age as the eldest, and he should still be studying hard in the cold window!

Cao Zhen felt chills when Yin Mo saw it.

He felt like a poor little rabbit being targeted by wild animals.

In order to find a sense of security, Cao Zhen leaned closer to Yinfeng, just like when he was young and two little quails warmed up with His Highness the Crown Prince, but now staying beside His Highness, he feels that someone is covering his head, and the sky is falling It was so reassuring when someone came down to support it.

Yinzhi didn't make a decision when he read the book. After reading it for a while, Yinreng asked him to practice writing in peace.

After reading the materials in Zangshu Pavilion and discussing with Xiaomei, Yinreng formally determined the first, second and third steps of the battle plan to improve the imperial examination and abandon the stereotyped essay.

The first step is to add special departments to give more professional talents the opportunity to become Jinshi.

The second step is to gradually reduce the proportion of stereotyped candidates in the test scores and make it one of the exams, thereby reducing the impact of stereotyped candidates and preparing for the eventual abolition of stereotyped subjects.

The third step is to completely abolish the stereotyped selection of scholars and reform the imperial examination.

Why is the test only used to select officials?

How come everyone's goal of rising has become an official?

From all walks of life, who doesn't need an exam to select elites?

In Yinfeng's ideal, schools in the future of the Qing Dynasty will bloom everywhere, and the imperial examinations will be integrated into the schools, so that talents can be selected in the schools, and finally "thresholds" for all walks of life will be set up. This is in line with the needs of the correct national conditions and can serve All walks of life across the country push the corresponding talents.

Of course, this ideal is also presented by Xiaomei and taught to Yinfeng.

In Xiaomei's materials, the cultivation and selection of talents with healthy and orderly development are called "high school entrance examination" and "college entrance examination".

After being selected, they will not directly become officials, but will enter the respective fields of these talents and give full play to their strengths, but it is not rigidly restricted. As long as the students are willing to study hard and their grades are good enough, they will naturally be able to obtain "qualifications" in these industries. certificate".

Such an ideal operating system, Yinfeng will also take a look.

Just like Confucius yearned for "a world of great unity" during the Warring States period, Yinfeng also yearned for a country like Xiaomei's story, but he only yearned for it and did not substitute it into reality.Because the actual situation of distinct classes since ancient times has destined what Xiaomei said to become a "fantasy" like Confucius imagined "a world of great harmony".

Xiaomei is not completely helpless, at least the fresh knowledge it brings has given Yinrong a lot of insight, which is of great reference value.

Yinfeng wrote down his own one-year plan, five-year plan, ten-year plan...the hundred-year plan, and kept them in his diary. One diary after another, using the material that is impenetrable by water and fire, to seal the diary intact.

After finishing all this, Yinfeng stretched out his tentative little hand to the Ministry of Finance just around the corner.

The two ministers of the household department cried poor to Khan Ama, and he has not forgotten this matter!

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the accounts of the whole country, and the financial allocations of the imperial court are all calculated by them. Any other departments need to make up funds, and they are also responsible.

Yinfeng asked Chen Mengqiu to present some of the grain production increases he had researched so far. Although no better varieties have been researched so far, three formulas of natural chemical fertilizers have been developed.

Its raw materials include fruit peels, plants, etc. in addition to bird droppings, animal dung, and fish bones.

Then Yinfeng played Kangxi, applying to put the proven effective natural chemical fertilizer into production, and use it to grow food as soon as possible.

He also mentioned: "People in the Qing Dynasty have people in their families, but they don't have much land in their hands. If they want to have a good harvest of grain and let the court receive more grain taxes, the best way is to collect the previous tax according to the head of the family. , changed to taxation according to the land, which is the so-called apportionment into the mu.”

In this way, people with more land pay more taxes, people with less land pay less tax, and people with less land no longer have to be afraid to have children because of the "poll tax". The population of the Qing Dynasty will usher in another big wave of growth.

Yinfeng mentioned many benefits in the memorial, which is obviously a good way, but the premise of this method must be prosperity and prosperity in the state treasury. Only in a prosperous age will there be a reduction in taxes.

From the original tax payment based on the registered household registration population to tax payment based on land, it is necessary to measure the land of the whole country and re-statistically require a large number of talents who can measure and calculate the land. Wei Shangshu will be the first to jump out to object to the degree.

Kangxi rubbed his brows, seeing the memorials written by Yinreng is both a pleasure and a torture, because he can always think of convenient solutions, and each one has practical value, but he just takes risks and has no scruples , When proposing a solution, I never thought about what kind of troubles I would face and how to solve them.

Kangxi suppressed Yinreng's memorial, called him over, and persuaded him earnestly: "'Governing the country is like cooking small fresh food', what Baocheng mentioned, if he didn't prepare for it for a while, he seemed rash and lost his sense of proportion. .”

Yinrong's eyes lit up: "Then what if we make preparations now?"

"The earlier you prepare, the sooner you can achieve your goal. Khan Ama, the more you keep it, the more hidden dangers will be in the future. If the household department is short of people, how about recruiting more people who are proficient in this way to prepare? "

Kangxi thought deeply: If what Baocheng mentioned was carried out in the prosperous age, it should be done.

"Don't think that I don't know what you want to do," Kangxi implicitly warned: "If you forget the words in the Tao Te Ching again, you might as well copy it a hundred times."

Yinfeng smiled and said: "Ama Khan, Erchen's research institute is also short of people. In the research institute, civil servants who can only write articles are not needed to do things. Moreover, Erchen heard that you plan to open it after you take back Taiwan. Once the sea ban is lifted, there will be more trade with the outside world, and the wealth of the country can be accumulated by tariffs, and the management must keep up, right, you have to recruit people."

"Which official didn't use the stereotyped essay as a 'stepping stone' when taking the imperial examination? After they passed the examination, they became familiar with what to do, and before that they spent a lot of time on training people to write essays to take the exam. , That would be too wasteful. The longer I stay in the Ministry of Rites, the more I understand these things clearly, and I didn’t see anyone writing stereotyped essays for you in the memorials you reviewed, so how boring and preaching it would be!"

Seeing that Khan Ama exposed himself, Yinreng didn't hide it. He likes to spread out his thoughts, and also likes the feeling of discussing government affairs with Khan Ama. It feels like Khan Ama is not only affecting him , He is also subtly influencing Khan Ama, the father and son seek common ground while reserving differences, this is the way the father and son of this heavenly family get along.

"Don't act too hastily," said Yinfeng with youthful vigor, and Kangxi himself was at his youngest and strongest.

The emperor believed that he was at the helm of the overall situation calmly. He did not bring it to the court to speak, but called the cabinet ministers to discuss the addition of special departments.

Yinfeng blinked at Xiaomei who was watching: Yay!

[Big friend's father has just passed the third year, and he still has momentum. The general direction you proposed is correct, and it is reasonable for him to agree! 】Xiaomei shook the tiger's beard, and asked Yinreng again cautiously.

[The fourth brother is strange, how will the big friend deal with it? 】

The policy of "Talk into Mu" was set up during the Yongzheng period. It was the tax reform that Yinzhen single-handedly created, and it has been implemented smoothly.

Now it is because of the operation of the big friend that the strategy of "spreading into the mu" appeared in front of Emperor Kangxi in advance.

Xiaomei doesn't care about national affairs, it only cares about Yinzhen's life and death.

[If the father of the big friend knows about the abnormality of the fourth brother, will the fourth brother's life be in danger? 】Which other system would be as miserable as it, not only worrying about big friends, but also worrying about Yinzhen's life.

Yinfeng: The fourth brother will show these things, he just expected that Gu will keep it a secret for him, Xiaomei is stupid.

[Xiaomei thinks it's better for the big friend to communicate with the fourth brother. 】Yinfeng: Gu also has this intention.

If it hadn't been for the hoarse crying when Xiaomei was asked, Yinreng would not have talked to Yinzhen alone until now.

This time when Xiaomei offered to let him communicate with his fourth brother, Yinreng really went to find Yinzhen.

The two brothers shunned everyone and talked behind closed doors. Not only Madam Xu was vigilant outside the door, but also Xiaomei was protecting their meeting in all directions in order to keep the relationship between them Communication will not have any words leaked out.

Sitting opposite Yinzhen, Yinreng said while drinking tea: "Since the fourth brother is not going to pretend anymore, you might as well say it bluntly. Gu also wants to know whether you are still Gu's good brother."

The more relaxed Yinfeng behaved, the more serious Yinzhen looked. He felt the invisible oppression emanating from the prince, and knew in his heart: whether it can be done or not, it's all in one fell swoop.

Yin Yun said, "I've always been me, and I haven't changed."

Yinfeng nodded, with a gentle look on his face: "I just want to say this to you, you will always be my lonely brother."

Yinzhen's serious expression eased slightly, his brows gradually loosened, and there was a hint of warmth in the waves of his eyes.

He certainly did not see the wrong person.

"Then where did your strangeness come from?"

Yinzhen slightly bent his fingers, closed his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Actually, I'm over 60 years old."

Yinfeng was taken aback for a moment: "Return to youth?"

Yin Mo shook his head and explained in a few words.

Yinfeng was stunned: "It turns out that APTX4869 really exists!"

And the effect was even scarier than what Conan ate. It directly turned the fourth brother into a fertilized egg, allowing him to return to his mother's womb!

【…】

It was obviously a rebirth, but in Yinreng's thinking, it became Yinzhen who ate "APTX4869".

For some reason, Xiaomei can't give Yinreng any hints. It can't say anything. The only way to reveal news to Yinreng is to add "A Chinese Journey to the West", "Harry" to the list of cartoons he watched. Potter" and other special films.

Yin Mo looked blank for a moment: "Do you understand?"

Yinfeng's face was upright: "I understand."

Yinzhen hooked his lips: the crown prince Yinreng of this life really has a superb understanding!

The two brothers discussed the strange things that happened to Yinzhen. In the end, Yinzhen was very satisfied, and Yinreng was also very satisfied.

Yinzhen: The prince knows that I am special, so he will never knead my face at will again.

Yinfeng: That's great, the fourth brother is a mature donkey, he can pull and work by himself without training!
