Cute little peasant girl: Love me through the family group!

Chapter 178

Since the establishment of the Daqing Dynasty, the imperial court has sent people to take over Lizhou, and the law of governing the people is the same as that of other states.

But more than 40 years later, Lizhou is still very barren and backward, with a small population, and can't collect much tax throughout the year. Moreover, the local aborigines still fight for independence from time to time, so the imperial court has to send troops to suppress it, which is a waste of money and people.

Of the thirteen prefectures in Daqing, only Li prefecture is the most tasteless, and if they are collected, they will not contribute to Daqing.

Can't use it, can't let it go.

The question of this palace exam is to control barbarians, and the purpose is probably not just as simple as selecting candidates as test questions.

After Bai Zhiqing got the strategy question, he immediately had an idea in his mind, and there was divine help when he wrote.

In the interstellar era, wars are chaotic, and Star Wars occur from time to time. Planet colonization between different races is the norm, and assimilation after colonization is the basic operation.

A large amount of historical data proves that for the colonial management of alien races on the planet, military repression is the worst policy, cultural push is the middle policy, and economic development and subtle cultural penetration are the best policies.

According to the national conditions of the Daqing Dynasty, Bai Zhiqing carefully selected some measures that could be implemented in the Daqing Dynasty, and wrote a large piece.

When Bai Zhiqing finished writing and copied it again, it was still early, and many candidates were still thinking about how to write.

Although there is no elimination in the palace examination, the test results are very important to the Gongshi, and have a long-term impact on the future entry and promotion.

The Qingyun Road is wide and long for the first-class jinshi, and the second-class jinshi is the mainstay of the court.

In order to get a good ranking, all the candidates in the hall are eager to perform well and make a good impression in front of the emperor, so that the future career can be smooth.

After finishing the pen, Bai Zhiqing looked around his eyes roughly, then closed his eyes and rested.

Such a unique performance naturally attracted the attention of the invigilators, and silently wrote down Bai Zhiqing, but I wanted to see how his final results were, whether it was because the questions were too difficult to answer and gave up on himself, or he was really in a rut and calm. .

When the sun goes down, when the hour comes, someone will come forward to wrap up the scroll.

After handing in the papers, all the tributes looked different, some were full of confidence, and some were downcast.

This exam will determine how far their careers can go.

After the papers are handed in, their future fate will be decided by these thin pages.

One volume carries the exam papers that the newly promoted tribute scholars hope. After being collected by officials such as scrolls, palm scrolls, and seals, they are handed over to the reading officer the next day for decision.

……

When Bai Zhiqing returned home, what awaited him was a big hug from Yaya.

Yaya raised her head and looked at her father with big eyes.

"Dad~ you're back~ Daddy has worked hard~ Let's go eat first~ Today, Aunt Li cooked squirrel mandarin fish~ It's sour and sweet~ It's delicious~"

In fact, Yaya really wants to ask if the palace looks good?Does the emperor look so wise and powerful?Is the floor covered with gold bricks as golden as her needles?Is the food in the palace delicious?Is there any squirrel mandarin fish cooked by Aunt Li delicious? ...

But she knew that daddy was going to take the exam. The exams that daddy took were very hard. When he came back, he had to rest well, and the matter in the palace was not in a hurry.

Well, no rush at all.

But she really wants to know

Bai Zhiqing laughed, his baby daughter's face was full of curiosity, and he rubbed Yaya's head.

"Okay, let's eat first, after eating, Dad will tell you what happened in the palace today, okay?"

"it is good!!!"

……

The day after the palace exam is the day of the examination.

Although the palace examination was presided over by the emperor, the work of marking the papers was not carried out by the emperor himself, but was reviewed by the reading officers appointed by the emperor.

There are eight reading officers, two of whom are cabinet scholars, and the remaining six are assigned from the six ministries.

When grading the papers, one person and one table are used, and the papers are circulated. Each reader must read all the answer sheets. After reading each answer sheet, a mark will be marked at the mark of the examination paper according to the quality of the article.

The marks are divided into A, B, C, D, and V, and the grade A is the best.

After all the examination papers have been reviewed, the ten exam papers with the most A-level marks are selected and submitted to the emperor, and then the emperor will select one or three of the ten exam papers.

In this palace exam, most of the ten answer sheets finally presented by the reading officer, most of the articles have unique insights, and at first glance, they are written by practical talents, while the remaining four have mediocre insights but gorgeous rhetoric and talent.

Obviously, the ten answer sheets presented to the emperor were the result of a game between officials from the two factions of the DPRK and China.

After getting the answer sheet, the emperor did not rush to grade it, but first admired the portrait attached to the answer sheet.

During the palace examination, all the tributes were in the palace, but there were more than 200 people, and the emperor could not match the names with the names at a glance.

He had to see what the ten people who did the best essays in this palace exam looked like.

The emperor held the portraits and began to comment.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this man's nostrils are slightly upturned, which is not good-looking."

"Hey, this person's eyebrows are interesting, as thick as two caterpillars. I must take a good look tomorrow to see if this person's eyebrows really look like this."

"Blessed are these ears that grow well."

"..."

"This man looks uncharacteristic."

"Hey, I finally saw someone who looks a little handsome. This person's papers are not based on his appearance. Let me take a look first. "The Way of Controlling Barbarians,...," has some opinions, long He is also handsome, and Tanhua is him!"

The emperor picked up the red pen and marked a triangle on the paper, and then began to read other papers.

……

The next day after the examination of the papers is the grand ceremony.

The Chinese martial arts officers of the dynasty stood in official uniforms on both sides of the front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, while Bai Zhiqing and other tribute servants wore the official uniforms issued by the Ministry of Rites after the end of the palace examination, and took their places under the leadership of the officials of Honglu Temple.

After a lot of lengthy etiquette, the ceremony of three kneeling and nine kowtows was performed again, and then Honglu Temple sang the golden list.

"In the 20th year of Qingfeng, the world's tribute scholars were promoted, the first class was awarded Jinshi and the first class, and the first class No. 1 Lu Jiangcheng."

After singing the title of champion three times, the official of Honglu Temple led a middle-aged man with a square face and thick earlobes to kneel on the imperial road.

"First Class No.2 Zhao Minghan."

After singing the same three times, the official of Honglu Temple drew a young man with thick eyebrows.

"No.3 Bai Zhiqing in first place."

Bai Zhiqing was stunned for a moment. Although he was quite satisfied with his performance in the palace examination, he did not expect that he would be appointed by the emperor as Tanhua Lang.

But... when the faces of more than 200 Gongshi this year flashed in his mind, he felt that he was the truth, and his appearance seemed to be more handsome than others.

It seems that this time he is properly relying on his looks to win.

After Bai Zhiqing was sung famous, he was also led by the officials of Honglu Temple to the imperial road to kneel.

But only the first and three people are qualified to kneel on the imperial road, and the second and third people will kneel on the ground after singing their names.

Honglu Siqing sang the list melodiously and slowly. Every time he sang, he knelt down and the other knelt. The first one knelt the longest. It can only be said that the higher the ranking, the more injured the knee.
