Dress to be a celebrity

"I am right: I have heard that the sages know the essentials of governing the country, so they put their hearts in agriculture...the king's law must be rooted in agriculture."

"The minister who heard about agriculture is the foundation of the world, and the origin of the king's government. Those who ruled the country in ancient times did not dare to ignore it...Practice the art of suppressing the end to drive away the vagabonds..."

The cabinet, the two courts, the six ministries and the nine ministers all sat in the side hall of the Wenhua Hall, flipping through the examination papers assigned to them.

The topic of this exam is exactly the financial management that the imperial court has been discussing for a long time. Even scholars in Beijing and the world have heard the dispute between the "emphasis on agriculture" and "emphasis on business"; Both are based on "Song Huan's collection of essays distributed everywhere; therefore, no matter which faction the candidates lean towards, they have read a lot of articles supporting his theory, and the countermeasures they answered are also meaningful.

It's just... the power of the world and the heart of the sage are no longer based on the policy of emphasizing the root and suppressing the end.

The examiners suppressed those articles that only focused on farming, mulberry, food and clothing, and wanted the court to legislate to suppress business in order to lead the people back to the fields, and put the methods that are more suitable for the court today to comfort and enrich the people. row -

Now Jingli is building an "economic park", and Hanzhong Prefecture "uses wages to farm and business to promote industry", and the business of turning the poor into the rich is also doing well. His vision has gradually opened, and he is no longer satisfied with the theory of "emphasizing agriculture". Many of the countermeasures presented are also influenced by "The Wealth of Nations".

"Hard work, Gu Shengwang wants to come, and Shang makes his willing to come out of the way, all of them are based on it."

"The book of Zhou said: if the farming is not done, there will be no food;

More answer sheets have released the focus from simply focusing on agriculture and mulberry, and have seen the possibility of developing industry, opening up business, and even making the world prosperous and peaceful—"Wealth is the heart of the people, and when wealth is scattered, the people gather. The people are the heart of the state." This industry, this solid is Bunning."For this reason, it is time for the province to expropriate, lightly close the city, develop industries, open up the source of capital and wealth, and store wealth in the people...

Articles that are literary, insightful, and practical are assigned to the other side of the book case by the examiner, and are ready to be rated as the top two.

Mr. Li Ge said with a smile while picking the articles: "It's just that the court discussed too much about agriculture and business before, and Song and Huan's "The Wealth of Nations" became popular in the market, just like the topic before the exam. It's like. There are too many excellent works in the imperial examination, and I'm going to be too picky."

Wu Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, responded with a smile: "I would like to congratulate you for getting so many talented students as students. I think some students are very insightful in their strategies. , must also be a talent who can be entrusted with state affairs."

Among the stack of papers he judged, there were those who answered well. The papers not only wrote about the importance of agriculture, the benefits of commerce, and the use of industry, but also cited the example of Hanzhong Economic Park running a college and teaching people to read, jumping out of industry, commerce and agriculture. The mutual benefit of the three is limited to discussing the integration of the four peoples of the people, agriculture, business, and business. The benefits of business and industry can not only benefit the farmers, but also promote the reading atmosphere in the place.

The purpose of this paper is higher than those that only write about how to accumulate wealth. This palace test article does not include essay writing, but straightforward narration. Just looking at the mind shown in its strategy, this paper can be pushed into the top ten. .

It was only halfway through the judging of the papers and they won the good papers in a row, which shows the excellence of the students in today's science.All the scholars, Du Yushi, Shangshu, and Siqing were all refreshed and read the papers more attentively.

In this way, those with innovative ideas are placed in the forefront of the second class, and those with less ideas but practicality are put aside, and those who are self-sufficient fall in the top three.

But one of the papers made Liu Jinao, the examiner and Hanlin scholar, a little uncertain, so he took it out and recommended it to the three elders: "Although this examinee doesn't have any novel comments, he knows something about agriculture and industry. Considering the gist of Xinggong, I think he is a practical talent."

Mr. Li Ge wanted to personally pick up the disciples this time, so he took the paper and looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that his writing was different from others-others wrote from the status of a minister who ruled the world, talking about the benefits of promoting industry and commerce, but only He wrote about how to calm down and endure hard work without reward when starting an industry.

Running an industry is like learning, working hard, respecting one's ambitions, seeking fame and wealth, and seeking immediate results after a little effort, will not succeed in the end.

After reading this article carefully, Mr. Li Ge sighed: "Although he is not a minister who governs the world, he is a minister who manages affairs and can do practical work. Now the imperial court wants to rebuild a Hanzhong Economic Park, but it can't be as smooth as the local government. There is a lack of people who are willing to do practical things like this.”

Although the purpose of this article is not as good as many talented people with high vision, but now there is a shortage of talents who are hard-working and know how to do things in the ministry.

Mr. Li Ge is an examiner himself, and it is very convenient to arrange the ranking, so he was directly selected as the top three biography: "This student can write like a blue thread in the early days of the construction of the economic park. It may be said that he came from Hanzhong Prefecture. People who have been educated around Song Shi, our household department is short of such talents."

I'm afraid it's not the lack of households, but the lack of talents like the third prince Wei Wang who presides over the economic park.

Everyone knew it well, so naturally they refused to expose it, they just smiled and focused on reading the papers.After the palace examination, they have a very short time to read the papers. After the papers are collected, they will be judged overnight. Unroll the roll call and fill in the list one by one.

By the morning of March [-]th, [-] examination papers had been neatly piled up on the examiners' desks.There is a clear distinction between a pile of top two and a pile of top three. Only the best papers selected by the examiners in the top two are selected for the cabinet to select, and the remaining papers are ranked in order, which is the final ranking.

Today's son is not the kind of emperor who doesn't trust ministers and changes the characters selected by the examiner at will. After seeing that the articles are indeed practical strategies, he selected Lin Zhen from Fujian, Fan Li from Jiangxi, and Xu Yu from Wuzhong as the top armor. Three Jinshi.

The Holy Majesty nodded his head armor, and the scroll can be opened and recorded later.

Several examiners sat around the hall, watching the officials unpacking the seals, and listening to the first roll call, and the chief examiner Li Ge and the deputy examiner Liu Xueshi filled the list in person.

Originally, only the place of origin was sung during the roll call, but Lan Yushi, the deacon of the roll call, is also a talented man with a wide range of eyes. When he sang about Bai Gui, a candidate from Shaanxi, his eyes were fixed on "Guan from Nanzheng County, Hanzhong Prefecture, Shaanxi". " This row of words, but out of the corner of my eye, I have already glanced to the left line "Zhi Shu Jing, teacher: Juzi Zhao Su, Jiaoguan Wen, Jinshi Zhao Cheng, Jinshi... Song Dynasty".

Is it Song Sanyuan's disciple?

He also just passed the mid-term exam three years ago, and those who are the same age as him have just established themselves in the court, and the Shujishi who are studying in the library can be said to be entering the officialdom for the first time.He was sent to the local government to serve as an official for two years. Not only did he become a scholar in the government and the public in the field of civil affairs, but he was also so good in the field of education, so he taught Jinshi?

Lan Yushi was distracted for a while, and was reminded by the people around him before he recovered and continued to roll the name.But when seeing a person from Shaanxi on the list, I have to look at whether his name is written in the column of the teacher.

Fortunately, Confucius was not reincarnated in the Song Dynasty, and his name was never seen again after singing Erjia.But when the paper of Sanjia Chuanlu was opened, a huge Song character came into my eyes again, and under the word "brother" on the fence next to "Guanbei Zhili Baoding Mansion", there was a lonely word "time" printed on it.

Northern Zhili Baoding Mansion Song...time?

Lan Yushi took a deep breath and sighed, "Isn't this Song Xiao Song Sanyuan's elder brother?"

The colleagues around him were touched by this sound, and couldn't help but leaned forward to look carefully at the three generations of fathers and grandfathers written under his name. Under the word "father" was the word "Xinmin". Experienced name taboo.

The Sanjia Chuanlu among the three auxiliary points is actually the elder brother of Song Shi, the number one scholar in Shangke!

Elder Zhang Ge was proud of his disciple's elder brother's mid-term exam, and he liked it somewhat in his heart. He praised Elder Li Ge: "Brother Wu Gong really has excellent eyesight, and he can pick out talents just by writing."

Mr. Li Ge didn't expect his eyesight to be so good, and he had to read the test paper for a while before he could be sure that the one he got was Song Shi's own brother.

Now there is no need to be afraid that he will only talk on paper, but if he really puts it down, he will not be able to accomplish anything.Even if he has never done practical work, can't he still write to his brother?

Recently, he was bothering about the third prince's presiding over the economic park, and he still felt that he was not enough to get a cadre. When all the [-] Jinshi of the top three had their names, he had to look at the test papers of those Shaanxi candidates.

Lan Yushi himself also paid attention to talented people from Shaanxi, relying on his ability to never forget, he directly reported: "There are fifteen candidates from Shaanxi in the current imperial examination, six of them are from Hanzhong Prefecture, and three candidates are in the column of teachers and teachers. Song Sanyuan was filled in, presumably he opened a college in Hanzhong to teach and accepted students."

As he spoke, he turned out the papers of those candidates and asked Mr. Li Ge and others to evaluate them.These three articles just cite the example of "educating the people" and "transforming the people with virtue" of the Hanzhong Academy of Construction, proving that the prosperity of industry and commerce can not only nourish the people and value the people, but also open up the wisdom of the people and rejuvenate the country.

When the title of the paper was not opened before, these examinees were judged by the examiners as broad-minded, better than those in the Song Dynasty. Now that they know their identities, the examiners have to sigh: "The knowledge of these examinees, I'm afraid Many of them are learned from him. If this person stays in Beijing..."

If he stayed in Beijing, there would be no Thirteen Spikes of Golden Harvest, no Hanzhong Economic Park, and no embarrassment between the two princes of Beijing and China...

These old people who are half buried in the earth will not rekindle their youthful spirit in their hearts, and they have the idea of ​​building this new Thai dynasty in their lifetime, which far surpasses the prosperity of Kaiyuan.

Li Ge shook his head with a smile: "Although he was a famous scholar in Beijing, but he was confined in the Imperial Academy and only read poems and books all day long. It was a waste of his talents in civil affairs and morality."

Zhang Ge thought of the good medicine he gave himself to treat hemorrhoids in the Song Dynasty, and he couldn't help but smile: "At the beginning, he tossed and refined the nameless medicine at home, so it can be seen that his heart is good at learning, but he couldn't let go of his hands to do industry when he was a poet. Now The sea and the sky are broad, but he has fulfilled his wish."

Although Song Shi can be regarded as No. 1 in the court for practical affairs, but now is not the time to call him back to Beijing.Firstly, he had offended too many people, and those princes and nobles did not care about the national economy and the people's livelihood when they held grudges; secondly, the powerful families in Beijing and China were intertwined and entrenched, and he had established industries in Hanzhong and planted golden harvests, so he might not be able to do anything when he returned to Beijing. ; three to...

Huan Ling is still in Hanzhong, how can they be separated as a young couple?Based on his posture of searching for thousands of miles... even if the imperial court forced him to summon him, he would not be able to come back.However, he could not be the magistrate in Hanzhong for the rest of his life, and sooner or later he would have to raise his official position and ask him to take charge of the agricultural and industrial affairs in several places.
