Chapter 293 Japanese pirates!

Theoretically speaking, the test questions of the palace examination are set by the emperor, and the ranking of the palace examination is also ranked by the emperor in name, so the Jinshi is also called the emperor's disciple.

In this examination, there is only one current affairs policy, which is to ask a current question, let the examinee analyze the problem, and give a solution.

Questions are answered in the morning and papers are handed in at dusk.

Generally speaking, the number of words for a current affairs policy is between [-] and [-] words, and most of them are [-] to [-] words. In terms of the number of words, the test time is not tight, but these [-] to [-] words must be refined and accessible classical Chinese. Sometimes candidates have to find ways to refine the words and sentences after writing the draft, which is very exhausting.

As for the current affairs policy of this subject, the title is very clear, the coastal pirates are infested.

The Japanese invasion along the coast is one of the two major foreign invasions plaguing Chen State, and the other foreign invasion is the Qi people in the north.

The Japanese plague has a long history. To be precise, the Japanese plague in the southeast was quite serious before Emperor Sejong went south.

In the few years after Sejong's southward journey, because the court was precarious at that time, and had no energy to ask about the defense of the southeast, during that time, the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast became more rampant, not only plundering merchant ships at sea, Breaking into coastal villages to rob and kill during the day!
Later, as Chen Guo gained a firm foothold in the south, a large number of forbidden troops gathered near Jiankang. Jiankang itself was not far from the coast, so Jiankang's forbidden troops could also radiate to the coast. From then on, until Emperor Xianzong , For more than 20 years, the Japanese pirates were frightened by the imperial army, and they were quite honest.

Until the first emperor's Northern Expedition and the defeat in Lianghuai, the Imperial Army began to shrink the defensive range and fully defend Jiankang.

Jiankang is too close to the north.

Under such circumstances, the Forbidden Army did not have sufficient protection capabilities for the southeast coast, especially the Fujian and Guangdong areas that are farther away from Jiankang. In the past ten years, Japanese pirates have become rampant again, and they have begun to plunder cargo ships at sea in large numbers. , There have even been cases of Japanese pirates re-emerging ashore to rob.

This is a very headache for Chen Guo.

Now Chen Guo has only half of the world, and many commodities in the south of the Yangtze River need foreign trade. Some can be traded with Qi people, and some need to be traded with Nanyang merchants. In recent years, it has even affected the taxation of the imperial court.

Therefore, the issue of Japanese pirates has attracted the attention of the imperial court, and even appeared in the current affairs policy of Jinke.

Shen Yi is from Jiangdu, not too far from the seaside. Although he has not been influenced by Japanese pirates in Jiangdu these years, he has heard of many incidents of Japanese pirates killing people along the coast. Japanese pirates, of course, don't have any good feelings.

He tried his best to recall Mr. Yuan Jing's deeds, combined with some actual situations in this world, added some understanding, and then started to write a draft.

Policy theory only needs a few hundred words.

It is impossible to write any specific measures in a few hundred words. You can only write your views on this matter, as well as the general idea and direction of the solution. Try to be more concise and gorgeous, and then quote the classics. up.

After all, this article is written for the officials who read the papers, so those civil servants may not understand the strategy of Pingwa. Therefore, this policy theory needs to be quoted from the classics. It is enough to scold the pirates severely, and then write a general idea of ​​how to deal with it, with a little literary quality.

At this time, Shen was already very experienced in writing strategy theory. Under the guidance of old man Gu, he would have no problem going out to hold a cram school for scientific examinations. A small composition of about [-] words appeared on Shen Yi's draft paper.

When writing this article, Shen Yi had some national sentiments in his heart.

After writing this article, Shen was still feeling bored. He read his article carefully, and then made up his mind.

"If there is no Mr. Yuan Jing in this world, then I will come forward and kill all these pirates..."

At this moment, the size of the four people in Jiangdu who Shen Yi wanted to kill suddenly expanded a lot, including the entire sea pirates.

After finally calming down, Master Shen looked up at the sky.

It was only approaching noon at this moment, and less than half of the time had passed.

Shen Yi didn't dare to be negligent, and refined his essay as much as possible, shortening it to about [-] characters, and then transcribed it word by word on the serious test paper, waiting for the handing in.

In fact, here, Shen Yi has no psychological pressure.

Because under normal circumstances, the palace examination will not eliminate any tribute, as long as the names of the emperors of the past dynasties are not written, and no scribbles are made on the test paper, Shen Yi is now guaranteed to be a top three Jinshi.

Moreover, he had already met with the big boss in advance and arranged work for himself in advance, so even if he was a top-ranked Jinshi, it would not affect his future work assignments.

As the sun slowly set to the west, a bell rang at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Hong De's seven-year palace examination finally came to an end.

At the same time, the imperial examination for this subject has officially ended.

The official who took the test papers stepped forward, collected the test papers of Shen Yi and others one by one, and handed them to the sealing officer for sealing. After sealing, they sent them to be transcribed, and finally handed them over to the examiner.

There are a total of eight examiners, none of whom are of low rank in the court, and most of them are from Hanlin, so they have a great say in scientific examinations.

The way they graded the papers was also very interesting. These eight people would divide the test papers into five grades according to their personal inclinations, upper, upper middle, middle, lower middle, and lower, and these five grades were replaced by a symbol.

For example, if they feel superior, they will draw a circle on the test paper with a red pen.

Draw a red triangle in the middle.

And so on.

If it is inferior, a cross will be drawn.

After eight people had read the two hundred tomb test papers, and got the ten papers with the most red circles, they would be sent to the emperor, and handed over to the emperor to evaluate the specific ranking of the top ten.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor himself would follow the reference opinions given by the examiner, and would not differ too far from the ranking given by the examiner.

When the candidates in charge of the palace examination took away the test papers in front of Shen Yi, Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

His road to the imperial examination in this world, starting at this moment, is considered to be completely over.

No matter what ranking he can get in the end, whether it is first, second or third, Shen Yi has already done his best.

He is in another world, so he can only be regarded as a lover of Chinese studies. If he came to take the exam by himself, most likely he would fail the county exam.

The reason why the scientific examination was able to go smoothly was mainly because Shen Yi's background was very good, and Shen Yi worked hard for a period of time, so he was lucky enough to pass the examination and came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony today.

After everyone handed in the test papers, His Majesty the Emperor went back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to encourage everyone. Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor to express their gratitude, and then they filed out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and went back to their respective houses.

According to the rules, the final results of the palace examination will be announced two days after the end, that is, April 24th.

Shen Yi obediently followed behind everyone, preparing to leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony and go home to have a drink with the third brother.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a little eunuch caught up with Shen Yi with small steps. The little eunuch lowered his head respectfully, and said: "Master Shen, please stay, Eunuch Gao has something to ask for you..."
