[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

The servant of the Ministry of Households felt pain in his brain, and the servant of the Ministry of Industry who was grading the examination papers looked at him with green eyes.

No, you are a dignified servant of the Ministry of Industry, why do you believe in the words of a child who has not yet reached the crown?Don't you want to experiment?Why don't we have a meeting to discuss it first?Don't act like you can do these things with money!

What about talking about data?What about the strictness of the Ministry of Industry?

The Minister of the Ministry of Households naturally didn’t know, but the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was of course rigorous. Many of the ideas Xia Anran put forward were in line with their own ideas, such as promoting agricultural books, improving agricultural tools, and flood control starting in the middle. All professionals from all over the world are gathered together, and they will submit memorials and make suggestions every month.

But the department of the Ministry of Industry... It is a relatively embarrassing department among the six departments. Other departments have a little bit of self-care rights.

look at other departments,

The Ministry of Officials manages civilian officials and has the right to dismiss them.No one dares to offend.

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the national taxes and salaries, and the allocation of funds depends entirely on them.No one dares to offend.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of ceremonies and imperial examinations, as well as entertaining the subordinates. Although the water is a bit clear, they are noble, and of course no one will provoke them.

The Ministry of War is in charge of the national army, and the station is closed and the sea is banned.Not to mention this, who has the head to offend?

The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the country's judiciary, and also has the responsibility of trial officials.Needless to say, I wanted to walk around when I saw it, and anyone who was approached by the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice wanted to tremble.

Only the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of national engineering practice, from the development of agricultural tools to the construction of mausoleums.

Whether it is ordnance construction, mining, placement, minting, surveying the country's cultivated land, building palaces, and all civil and water conservancy projects, they are all under their control.

In the previous dynasty, the Ministry of Industry was a very fat department. Because of the extravagance of the royal family in the previous dynasty, the construction of palaces and gardens was frequent, not to mention the management of the Yellow River every year, which was extremely rich in oil and water, but now it has learned the experience of the demise of the previous dynasty. , Taizu would not build a palace if he could, and he would not repair it if he could.

The first emperor was better, mainly because the palace would not be able to support it if it was not repaired, but every time the Ministry of Industry asked for money from the Ministry of Households, it was always stuck.

The Ministry of Industry still has an additional expense. They don’t build houses and make machinery out of thin air. There must be wear and tear. How can it work behind closed doors?Every time the expense is reimbursed, you can see the sighing face of the Ministry of Households. As time goes by, it becomes a matter for the Ministry of Industry to shirk whoever goes to reimburse the expenses.

Not to mention the management of the Yellow River. It should be treated well, and it should be regarded as a crime if it is not cured. The emperor also knew that this was indeed difficult to treat, but verbal criticism and performance criticism were also indispensable.

After the Ministry of Industry of this dynasty dredged the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, there were no projects that were praised.

Research funding has been repeatedly cut.

Without research funds, the Ministry of War came to them to ask for new weapons. They were not satisfied, and the Ministry of War was angry.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice came to ask for torture tools, and disliked them for being uninspired and dissatisfied. The Ministry of Criminal Justice was not happy.

The Ministry of Rites came to ask for sacrificial utensils, and felt that the materials had been cut down a bit, and the styles were not enough, so they were not satisfied.

The Ministry of Officials also always feels that the Ministry of Industry has nothing innovative, and other departments always complain, and as time goes by, the Ministry of Industry is not so pleasing to the eye.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Industry is also very popular. It's not that we have no ideas and inspirations, but you don't approve it.

Unexpectedly, just this time, Minister of the Ministry of Industry saw an opportunity to stand up.

When he saw the student's manuscript that night, the minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately informed his colleagues to work overtime overnight, made a simple small model according to the diagram, and found out the memorials that had been played before, and had a meeting with the minister of the Ministry of Industry the next day After discussing, the memorial was handed over during the big court meeting.

The emperor approved on the spot, allowing them to try it out in Huangzhuang.

In addition to Huangzhuang, several Langzhong and Yuanwailang who were in charge of the Agricultural Department of the Ministry of Industry also specially found a few relatively poor farms. Huangzhuang's soil is fertile, and the output is already excellent. The reference value is not high. And the situation of inferior fields.

The Ministry of Industry is currently the department that uses the quantitative comparison method the most. They naturally don't know that the source of this method is Xia Anran, but they just feel that it is more intuitive and clear than their previous method, and the answers they get are more accurate. It is a good method , then continue to use it.

Si Nongke already has experience in agricultural fertilizers and breeding. The agricultural fertilizers in today's era are still mainly animal manure, human manure, and plant ash.

But Xia Anran told them that there is a difference between rotted manure and retting fire manure, water stress, and crops that are not suitable for various fertilizers.

It's not that these things have not been discovered before, it's just that no one has sorted them out. Now, in order to prove the authenticity of Xia Anran's words, everyone has turned to the literature and found that the treasure is in the warehouse!It's just that the previous information was relatively fragmented, so they didn't notice it!

If it wasn't for Xia Anran's failure in the exam and they couldn't get in touch directly, everyone from the Ministry of Industry would have rushed over to ask him to quickly fill in the omitted parts!

In addition to this, there is the companion crop section.

This year's spring plowing time has not yet thawed the northern land. Sinongke has sent people to the southern region to try to grow soybeans and corn as companions. It is only a month away, and the results are still unknown, but there is news from there. From the point of view, there has not been any mutual robbing of nutrients. Initially, it should be feasible.

No one cares about Xia Jingxi's test scores anymore. The Ministry of Industry has already used an extremely strong stance to say that we are going to snatch people. Who will not give this kind of seedlings to the Ministry of Industry?

I just ask, who else is there besides us!ah?Don't think that we are civil servants, I told you that we are civil servants who go to the construction site with a hammer, and we are not afraid of fighting!

When the minister of the Ministry of Industry went to ask for someone, he hit a wall because the emperor had a different idea from them.

General Xia Anran's answer sheets and manuscript papers were turned over several times today, and he found that the content here was too complicated.

It is miscellaneous.

Xia Anran talked about agronomy, water conservancy, taxes, and war indemnities. His mind seemed to be running wild, and he wrote whatever came to mind.This is something these lines cannot do in parallel.

It's too messy and complicated. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. It doesn't mean that a policy is good and can be implemented immediately.

Every decree implemented by the imperial court has to go through a series of reviews, try it out, and finally roll it out on a comprehensive basis. There must not be too many variables. The common people have not adapted to one and another will come, which is a waste of money and money.

Only come one by one.

What's more, he has not been on the throne for a long time, so he shouldn't move too much, because there are too many resistances now.

Imakami was playing with two walnuts with his fingers, and he turned the two walnuts vigorously with his fingertips. There was no fluctuation on his face, but he turned faster and faster.

Don't rush, he told himself, he needs time, and Xia Anran also needs time.

"Come here, get the map."

==

On April 27th, the results of the imperial examination were announced. Xia Anran's results were in the middle and lower ranks, and he was not selected as a good scholar. According to his situation, he should be sent out to become an official.

Xia Anran was not surprised by this result.Although the imperial examination is biased towards policy theory, it still has a stereotyped foundation. Simply put, it is necessary to use beautiful and gorgeous sentences to make a good-looking answer sheet.

He has only entered school for five years, which is many years later than the orthodox three-year-old Kai Meng.

Although a little disappointed, it's not a big problem.

He was just a little worried about being sent out to be an official. Officials in this dynasty have a three-year term. If there is no one in the court, and their political achievements are average, they will be transferred to other counties.

Because there was a taboo system in ancient times, for example, Xia Anran was born in Gusu. When he was transferred as an official, he would avoid arranging officials from the Zhejiang area. It should be transferred to a relatively poor place.

In this case... the situation is not good.

He thought for a while, and found a problem with some helplessness, how to achieve his task.

After the results were announced, the classmates of this year gathered together for a drink.

Once the results are announced, it won't take long for the imperial court's appointment to come down.

Those who have a way to become an official, those who have no way to go back to their hometowns to wait for recruitment, one after another in the next month, everyone will be separated.

Xia Anran's relationship with the same class this year was quite harmonious, and everyone attacked Xia Anran one after another when the banquet was in full swing, expressing their dissatisfaction with his cooking in the examination room.

Xia Anran was very aggrieved when he heard the words, he felt that he didn't cook, he just heated up a meal, and it wasn't just me, didn't you all do the same thing afterwards?

The Hanlins who were invited to the banquet put down their wine glasses and expressed that we are very interested in this topic with a practical attitude!

The events of this year's Spring Festival are already very famous.

These Hanlin people also have a lot of sources of news. They learned from their respective sources that this Chunwei exam has changed from the dullness of previous years, and that all kinds of food fights have been fought extremely fiercely. It's a pity that it was too late when they followed the news to buy the sauce. The Xue family stopped selling it after the end of the Spring Festival, so they had to try to get some from their colleagues.

At first, my colleagues were able to talk, but then I saw more and more people begging for it, so I was naturally unwilling to give it away, just for two jars of sauce!Just give up their fellowship! !

It's just two jars of sauce!

This smiling Hanlin was one of the people who were shut out. What was even worse was that he was busy compiling books at that time, so he heard the legend without even eating.

He also found out that Xia Anran, the "root of all evil", would come to this party, so he accepted the invitation of Zhuangyuan Lang to attend this party, just to see the legend that letting go of his hands can make the food better What does the person who eats look like?

... Cough, if possible, ask for one jar... Ah no, two jars of sauce would be even better.

It has been almost a month since Chunwei, and most of those who bought the sauce before have eaten almost the same.

The ex-official Tanhua was smiling very brightly, he raised his glass slightly, and clinked glasses with another Hanlin official far away.

The author has something to say: The Ministry of Industry is really very complicated, but it is rich in oil and water. It is a pity that the Ministry of Industry in this dynasty (setting) is a hard-working department. Don’t underestimate the officials, everyone is a fine person.

The emperor wants to play tricks!Do you want to guess where Xia Miao will go... Forget it, you should stop guessing, cowardly.

Give the author some dignity!

ps, when it comes to the flood in 98 yesterday, I think everyone is quite curious, I guess the babies have no impression of this time, let me tell you, the author is still a generation with an impression.It was summer vacation at that time, and the author stayed at home on vacation, so he watched the news all the time.

I remember that it started in mid-July, and it broke out one after another. After checking, it was a major flood in the whole basin, which means that the battle line was very long. Floods broke out from the Songhua River in the north to the Minjiang River in Fujian.

Moreover, China did not realize the concept of flood storage capacity at that time, and China told the development at that time that filling lakes and building roads reduced the flood storage capacity of lakes, and some lakes were separated from rivers, so when there was heavy rainfall that year, the downstream could not Scattered water flow, the narrow river channel can not discharge water, and it is still raining above, and the bottom cannot be discharged. This is the cause of the 98 flood.

But the good thing is that there was an early warning at that time, and it was not a sudden breach of the embankment, so

Whether it is evacuation or disaster relief, it is relatively timely. The country has made preparations before the arrival of the flood season, but it was not expected that this would be a catastrophic flood.At that time, everyone was expecting the rain to stop, so as not to increase the downstream pressure, but I remember that it seemed to rain for several weeks (on TV) and then the people were all evacuated at that time, civil servants, government agencies were all on standby, when something happened When the embankment burst, the officers and soldiers corresponding to the armed police of the military region went to the front to block it. At that time, they still carried yellow sand bags. Sometimes the bags couldn’t stop them, so they blocked them with their bodies. The officers and soldiers stood side by side in the water, holding hands to block the water flow. , lined up in three or four rows, and when someone is washed away, the gap is immediately blocked. Sometimes people can't stop it, and the sand can't stop it, so they drive down to block it.

Then they are not allowed to take things from the people, all of them are supplied by the military logistics. I remember that they ate instant noodles and steamed buns (military biscuits were too late to supply) and then the people begged them to eat their own things and forced them into their mouths Plug (I forgot whether I ate or not at the end.)

The chairman and prime minister at that time were all on the front line of the most dangerous.The whole country is working overtime to produce and transport materials in place. What kind of China was it in 98, um... How many of you still remember that the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia was bombed by the Americans in 99?At that time, the whole of China was in a kind of anxiety. The forces of various countries were stirring up the country. Wheel Gong was on the rise, and the people had no confidence in their own country.

But people of our generation may be full of confidence because they have seen the 98 flood fighting.

Because there may be no other country that will dispatch 30 soldiers to protect the people.

China is so nice.
