Great Tang princess

Chapter 476 Examination System
On the eighth day of June, wooden frames had already begun to be built in the vegetable field in the camp, and some craftsmen were already installing glass.

There is no glass glue these days, so the method adopted by the craftsmen is to divide the wooden shelf into two layers, the inner and outer layers, and then clamp the two sides with fish glue.

Know that if the glass is clamped tightly enough, it will not sway in it, and it can withstand a certain amount of wind without worrying about breaking it.

Judging from the current progress, the glass greenhouse should be able to be completed before the beginning of autumn, and then the seeds can be sprinkled and tried.

While the craftsmen were constructing, they were also discussing whether this thing could make things grow in winter.

Those who raised this kind of question were craftsmen who joined the Academy of Engineering after coming to Shandong. Those who followed from the Eastern Capital would never doubt the creativity of Her Highness the Princess.

As long as she says yes, it will be done.

Thanks to Li Yuechen's various brilliant achievements in the past, they all have a kind of confidence in the princess, thinking that there is nothing she can't do.

For their worship, although Li Yuechen was a little secretly happy in his heart, he was more regretful.

It's a pity that the Internet and various electronic devices cannot be thought of with the wisdom of the ancients, otherwise it would be possible to try to manufacture circuit boards in this era.

Of course, this kind of thing is just thinking about it, the most important thing now is to get the shed out first.

At the same time, the cultivation experiment of sea sausage has officially started.

Thanks to the natural geographical environment, Jiaozhou Bay is a natural recess, and the sea sausage farm can be placed here.

Of course, it is impossible to completely seal it in this era, so we can only choose a place in Jiaozhou, hire residents from nearby fishing villages to weave a super-large net, and then soldiers dive into the sea to fix it.

It is to prevent some big fish from coming over, and then start the experiment in this circled water area.

Looking at the ocean in front of him, Li Yuechen couldn't help but think of the future Jiaozhou Bay Bridge. If such a thing can be built in this era, it may really be of great help to improve the economic level.

But this is obviously impossible. Li Yuechen has not measured it accurately, but according to his immediate memory of running, the bridge is at least [-] kilometers long.

Wanting to reproduce it in this era is simply a dream... not necessarily!
First of all, there are no cars in this era, and the natural bridge does not need to be too strong, not too many, as long as it can withstand a four-wheeled carriage is enough.

But then he shook his head immediately. Even this kind of bridge was too troublesome to build, mainly because there was no technology to isolate sea water in this era, and there was no way to make load-bearing columns in the sea.

The concrete needs to be connected to the base, and it is impossible to make it on the ground first and then put it in. This has already determined that this is definitely not a project that can be realized in this era.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen couldn't help but sneered, and secretly scolded himself for thinking too well, and now he should just focus on doing the things in front of him well.

……

On summer nights, the house was still hot and dry, so Li Yuechen went for a walk on the beach after dinner.

After the sun sets, the seaside is still very cool. The sea breeze blows from the sea, and the effect is many times better than that of the air conditioner.

Li Yuechen walked on the beach alone, and Wang Wuqiong quietly followed behind, walking casually.

"Wuqiong, how about building a pavilion here and resting here at night?" Li Yuechen pointed to a small hill in front of him and asked.

"Your Highness, don't do this," Wang Wuqiong hastily advised, "The seaside is very windy, if you fall asleep here, you may catch a cold..."

"I know..." Li Yuechen waved his hand to show that he was joking.

Then the two of them came to the top rock of the hill and sat down to enjoy the shade. There was no need to use a fan here, as the sea breeze could cool them down.

Looking at the Yantian not far away that was still sparkling under the moonlight, Wang Wuqiong was a little dazed. As a bodyguard, this is actually a very negligent behavior.

Li Yuechen on the side didn't care when he saw it, but asked curiously, "Why are you in a daze?"

After reacting, Wang Wuqiong quickly apologized, and then explained: "Your Highness, forgive me, this subordinate just feels that this place is a bit unreal."

"Well, it's understandable." Li Yuechen nodded.

After all, Wang Wuqiong was born in a backward feudal era, and suddenly encountered so many strange things that developed rapidly, it is normal to feel this way.

Wang Wuqiong suddenly changed the subject: "I just feel that His Highness is really amazing, and he can study so many magical things..."

"I don't think I'm good enough," Li Yuechen laughed suddenly, "Otherwise, I should be able to make more objects."

Although the attitude of saying this reveals some regret to some extent, it seems a bit too Versailles in the eyes of Wang Wuqiong, a pure ancient.

You have already achieved this level, how much better do you want to be?
Of course, these words flashed in my heart, and I didn't even dare to keep them for too long.

"Why does this expression mean you are scolding me in your heart?" Li Yuechen asked jokingly.

Wang Wuqiong was startled, and quickly denied: "I don't dare, I just feel that sometimes His Highness is really like a fairy, and all kinds of deeds seem to be for the benefit of the world..."

"How do you say that?" Li Yuechen was curious.

"When hunting, His Highness always said that it should not be killed, and some should be left for future generations; this refined salt tasted very good, but the price was lowered very low; when there was a flood in the East, His Highness even almost... Sometimes, the subordinates couldn't help but think, maybe His Highness is really a god who descended to save the common people..."

Wang Wuqiong recounted while recalling, and gradually portrayed a Li Yuechen in her heart.

Listening to her description, the deity felt a little embarrassed listening to her.

Sure enough, there are a thousand Hamlets out of 1000 people. Listening to his image in other people's minds, Li Yuechen, who considers himself to be thick-skinned, feels a little sorry for the Wei Guangzheng she described.

She just wants to make this country a better place, save the common people in the world and so on, and it feels a lot higher all of a sudden.

Wang Wuqiong suddenly laughed: "I don't know if my subordinate's guess is correct, but..."

"It's not correct." Li Yuechen also replied with a smile, "I said a long time ago that I'm not a god. If you want to say that the only reason for doing these things is probably because of love."

"Love?" Wang Wuqiong tilted her head, as if she didn't quite understand.

Li Yuechen stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, looked into the distance and said: "Because I love everything in this world, there is no favorite, no exception!"

……

Dongdu, Jixian Temple.

Wu Zetian was sitting by the window, eating ice cream and reading newspapers.

After several years of development, there is something that has caused a trend in the era that should not have appeared in advance, the novel.

In fact, there are no real novels in this era.

But over the years, Li Yuechen successively wrote "Journey to the West", "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Great Desolation" and other novels, which were serialized and published in newspapers, which also triggered the creation of novels in this era.

Although many people think that the stories are not as good as those written by Li Yuechen, but at least some people have started to try, which is already a good thing.

But Wu Zetian didn't like it very much. The stories written by these people were not as good as his own daughter's in terms of imagination and writing style.

She preferred reading poetry to reading those stories.

Proud of the gradual development of newspapers, many young people now hope that their poems and songs can be published in newspapers rather than investment bank rolls.

After all, it is another matter whether people can see the investment bank rolls for high officials.

Newspapers are different. Once they are published, they become famous almost instantly.

Everyone knows that newspapers are royal institutions, which means that their poems are likely to be read by the emperor!

This huge temptation has attracted countless young people.

Looking at the few poems and essays recently published in the newspaper, Wu Zetian nodded slightly while eating ice cream, quite satisfied.

The writing of these articles is not bad, you can continue to pay attention.

Thinking of this, I looked at the signature under the title of the poem and planned to write it down.

But at this moment, there was a sudden flash in my mind, as if I thought of something.

She turned her head and said to Shangguan Wan'er, who was reviewing the memorials, "Wan'er, tell me, how about hiding the names of the candidates in the future regardless of the imperial examination or the general examination?"

This sudden question made Shangguan Wan'er stop the brush in her hand, and after thinking carefully, she replied: "Return to Your Majesty, this will make the exam fairer. At the same time, it can also prevent the examiners from cheating for personal gain... ..."

At the end, I didn't forget to flatter me to make a summary: "This method is very good, Your Majesty is wise!"

The more Wu Zetian thought about it, the more she felt that this method was good, and decided to ask the officials for their opinions at the court meeting tomorrow.

……

At the court meeting the next day, Wu Zetian really expressed his thoughts, and then sat on the dragon chair to listen to the opinions of the officials.

At present, the court is divided into many factions.

There is a group of close relatives headed by Pei Huaiyi, Wu Sansi and others;
There is a faction of loyal ministers headed by Di Renjie and others mainly based on the righteousness of the country;
There is also the old aristocratic faction headed by aristocratic families;
There is also a loyal bureaucratic faction whose main group is the children of poor families.

……

Among these many factions, except for the veteran aristocratic faction, other factions have expressed their support.

Needless to say, Pei Huaiyi, Wu Sansi and others, they could not oppose the emperor, no matter how absurd the policy was.

Di Renjie and the others really thought this method was good. Exams are based on fair competition and admissions are based on merit, which is more in line with the meaning of the exam.

Not to mention the children of the poor family, such an exam will only make it easier for the poor family to stand out, and of course they welcome them with their hands up.

To say that the only objection is probably only the veteran nobles.

For veteran aristocrats, the most popular should be the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and the imperial examinations are simply too annoying!
But objection belongs to objection, and whether it is useful is another matter.Ultimately, the proposal to make names masked on any future exams passed.

It is now June, and the order will be sent to various places in August at the latest, and they can still catch up with Qiu Wei, which can be regarded as allowing them to adapt in advance.

In October, academic masters from all over the world will set off to Dongdu to participate in the spring festival in the coming year.

It is worth mentioning that during the past few years of Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne, palace examinations were held every time, so the new young officials in recent years will be quite different next year from before.

The attitude towards the emperor is obviously much better than those who do not support women as emperors, and their work attitudes are also more serious and responsible.

Generally speaking, the benefits of this palace examination to the emperor are obvious, and if there is no accident, it will continue to be carried forward this year.

……

The hottest summer is coming to an end. At the end of June, the palace received refined salt from Shandong.

Along with the salt, Li Yuechen's letter and two jars of sea intestine powder came back at the same time.

After receiving the news, Wu Zetian happily picked up the teacup and took a sip.

In fact, not only was she happy, Shangguan Wan'er was also very happy.Every time Li Yuechen sent a large pile of letters, basically everyone would take care of them.

Sure enough, after a while Zhang Chengxin came in with a large stack of letters and handed them to Shangguan Wan'er.

As for the letter to Wu Zetian, Zhang Chengxin will keep it separately and will not mix it with other letters.

Wu Zetian opened her daughter's letter and read it while drinking tea.

The content is very simple. I said that they are trying to grow off-season vegetables in greenhouses. If they are successful, they can be promoted in Dongdu.

The other thing is to send some sea intestine powder, so that the imperial chef in the palace can try it.

Wu Zetian just glanced at the previous information, and she was more concerned about the latter.

Wu Zetian couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he saw the news that Lu Jiaken could commit treasonous acts.

But after reading this letter, she decided to listen to her daughter's suggestion for the time being and ask her to find out what's going on.

As long as there is conclusive evidence, even if he raises the butcher's knife to slash people, the court will have nothing to say, and it is entirely his own fault.

At the same time, Shangguan Wan'er was also reading Li Yuechen's letter.

Apart from the usual need to say some nasty words to express how much I miss, the rest are work-related issues, and I want her to check the current affairs of Yuwen's.

Shangguan Wan'er thought about it, and reported Li Yuechen's thoughts to Wu Zetian, asking for her opinion.

"Just let Chen'er decide this matter, I believe she can handle it well!" Wu Zetian nodded, expressing his trust in his daughter.

With the emperor's nod of approval, Shangguan Wan'er had no scruples, and immediately ordered the investigation to begin.

After going back that night, he explained the case to Princess Xuancheng and asked the household department to cooperate at the same time.

Not only must it be fast, but at the same time, it must be sent to Li Yuechen with sufficiently accurate information.

Although Li Yuechen is no longer by her side now, the tacit understanding is much closer than when she was a child. Shangguan Wan'er knows what she needs now.

Talent is talent, and there is no need to teach many details, she can learn it by herself.

With the support of the emperor and the cooperation of Shangguan Wan'er, it only took five days to find out everything Li Yuechen wanted to know!
