Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 598 Palace Exam
Although it is a military dance, the girls in armor are all pretty girls.

A group of soldiers who rarely saw a girl in the army were as excited as hungry wolves, and their eyes were staring straight.

In order to arouse the patriotic feelings of the soldiers, Luo Youdu also asked people to write a book based on the evil things that the Khitan did in the Central Plains, or arranged for a storyteller to describe it, or directly performed a play to show the cruelty of the Khitan.

Most people in this era are relatively simple, or many people have experienced Khitan's southward migration and felt their tyranny, and they are all filled with righteous indignation.

He yelled at the actor who played the Khitan on stage.

If it is not prepared in advance, a beating accident may even occur.

Where do soldiers in this era enjoy such benefits?

Fan Zhigu, the political commissar, won the love and affection of Shi Shouxin's subordinates in just over a month.

This time it was the other troops' turn to be sour.

They are all soldiers of the Luo Yu court, and they all share the same emperor. Why does the Shi Shouxin Ministry have such treatment, but they have nothing?

Soon, Luo Youdu received a joint letter from Dian Shuai Han Lingkun, Ma Shuai Gao Huaide, and Bu Shuai Han Tong, who unanimously applied for the implementation of the administrative committee system.

In fact, the implementation of the administrative committee system is nothing more than a smooth sailing.

Ever since the Division of the Imperial Army set an example, Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, and Han Tong, the three politically minded military leaders, already had this premonition.

But this kind of thing is not something they can easily make a decision with a slap on the head.

There are more than 30 people in total, more than [-] people, more than [-] troops, and more than [-] people who command and envoy. As the leaders of the imperial army, they must first consider the emotions of the generals.

Now Shi Shouxin has made a start and achieved impressive results.

Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, and Han Tong are all Luo Youdu's confidantes, and Luo Youdu usually treats them very well, and always thinks of them when he has good things.

Now when they need to express their views, they will naturally respond together.

Compared with the scheming of literati, the reform and restructuring of generals is obviously much easier and has not been hindered much.

Luo Youdu was also extremely satisfied with this.

The civil and military situation is different after all, no matter how much the civil servants make trouble, Luo Youdu is not afraid, but if the generals make trouble, it will be a headache.

After all, generals have soldiers in their hands, even if they cannot threaten Luo Youdu, it will have a bad impact on morale.

This is also the reason why Luo Youdu procrastinated until today to plan reforms. He needed a peaceful and safe environment to deal with the impact of reform failures.

In the first year of Yongjing, April [-]rd.

On this day, there was no court meeting, but Luo Youdu dressed more carefully than the court meeting.

The results of the Gongyuan have come out, No. 1 is Bi Shi'an, a famous scholar in Chang'an.

Bi Shi'an was already outstandingly talented and rigorous in his studies. Under the influence of the butterfly effect, he studied under the great Confucian Dou Yujun.

The articles he wrote in the Gongyuan are neat and beautiful, every word is pearls, and he deserves to be the first in the province and city.

No.2 is Zhang Quhua, No.3 Ma Shi, No.4 Su Dexiang...

All are temporary choices, a total of [-] people.

And Luo Youdu needs to personally select three Jinshi Jiji and several Jinshi origins and fellow Jinshi origins among the [-].

These are the future pillars of the imperial court, the disciples of the son of heaven, Luo Youdu, as the emperor, naturally has to face his students with a solemn attitude.

The palace examination was held in the Jiying Hall, and three hundred students gathered in the hall to pay homage to the practitioners.

"Exemption! Passing the provincial exam is enough to show that you are all heroes in the world and future pillars of the imperial court. I look forward to your performance and wish you good grades in advance."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Luo Youdu continued: "However, it is inevitable to perform abnormally in the exam. After today, some of you will fail. I hope that those who fail can examine themselves and make persistent efforts. Failure is the mother of success. Losing for a while does not mean that you will fail." What does it mean? It’s just a hurdle in the road of life. If you persevere and win a new life, you will be a dragon and a phoenix among people.”

What he said made sense.

The Song Dynasty in history also adopted the elimination system at the beginning, but they later found that many people who were eliminated by the elimination system were unwilling to fail, and went to Xixia and Khitan as officials one after another, and there was a brain drain.

So in order to avoid this situation, the brain-dead person came up with a way.

As long as the scholars who pass the palace examination will be admitted, they will not be eliminated.

Therefore, every time there is an imperial examination, the court will have three or four hundred more officials.

Originally, in the Song Dynasty, because of the recommendation system, several officials held a real job, and there was serious redundancy.He also continued to pass the imperial examinations, absorbing three or four hundred officials...

Luo Youdu did not intend to change the due elimination system in order to take care of the glass heart.

Being eliminated, instead of looking for problems from yourself, you resent others instead.

What can such a person do?
Luo Youdu took the exam questions he had drawn up these days from the case table, and read aloud to the next three hundred or so people: "The theme of this palace exam is how to govern the Yellow River."

Luo Youdu will ask one big question and two small questions, not just one of the main questions in the palace exam.

Just like this time, the big problem is to control the Yellow River, and the small problem is how to persuade the mountain people to go down the mountain;

The direction of the exam questions is different. Some people are not good at water control, people's livelihood, and eloquence theory. They must be proficient in one.

Of course, the big questions must score the most points, there is no doubt about this.

In addition to current affairs, there are also article topics.

If the article is well written, there is also a chance to become an official.

Historians and Guozijian also need people with good literary talents.

In short, as long as you have a skill, it is not difficult to be a top three and a Jinshi.

Of course, if you want to win the top three, you need a comprehensive and balanced score.

Harnessing the Yellow River is the most worrying thing for Luo Youdu at the moment. He vaguely remembers that the Yellow River flooded repeatedly in the early Song Dynasty, and it didn't get better until the Yellow River diverted its course.

However, the diversion of the Yellow River already means that the management of the Yellow River has failed. The diverted river water flooded a large number of fields and houses, and washed away the places it passed through.

This winter the Yellow River stopped flowing, and Luo Youdu ordered local officials to organize a dredging project for the Yellow River.

However, due to the silt from the Yellow River exceeding expectations, the progress was extremely difficult.

The rainy season came early again, and the dredging work had to be stopped.

The magistrate of Juancheng County, Jia Yu, wrote a letter to make preparations for flood control this year.

Jia Yu, former doctor of the Ministry of Water, is very accomplished in water control.

Juancheng County is adjacent to the corner of the lower reaches of the Yellow River and has been plagued by floods all year round.

Luo Youdu took him as the county magistrate of Juancheng to let him contribute in Shui.

Jia Tang's work in Juancheng County was quite effective, but this year's sediment was far better than before, and the Yellow River was flooded earlier, which was beyond the reach of manpower.

If the weather is not beautiful this year and there is too much rain, the Yellow River will flood.

How to solve the problem of the Yellow River is the most important state affairs of the court at present.

Naturally, it became the big question of this palace examination.
