I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 9 The Year of Changyi Prime Minister's Great Lesson
After sitting down, Liu He picked up the book that Zhang Liji had just put away from the bookshelf at hand.

This is a volume of "Biography of Gongyang".

Among the "Three Biographies of Spring and Autumn", "Biography of Gongyang" and "Biography of Guliang" are prominent studies at present, but in later generations it is "Zhuo Shizhuan" that is very popular. It has to be said that the world is unpredictable.

Liu He bit the bullet and read a few lines. It was indeed not as lively and interesting as "Zuo Shi Zhuan", so he put it where it was.

"Master Zhang is really obsessed with the book. He studies hard every night. In the future, he will be able to be filial and honest. At that time, Zhang Qing will be able to rise to the top and become a high-ranking official."

Liu He's words were naturally flattering, but they also flattered Zhang Poji, and he didn't even dare to say a few words.

At this time, the main way for the big Han to select and appoint officials was the inspection system. In addition, there were many other methods such as enlistment, appointment, sealing and selection, but the inspection system was still the right way.

The life goal of a Confucian scholar is to "be good at learning and become an official", so Liu He's flattery naturally tickled Zhang Liji's itch.

After some pleasantries, we entered today's topic.

Zhang Poji first told the general situation of Changyi Kingdom in the past three years.

All in all, it's been a good year.

With the application of new iron farm tools and the popularization of intensive cultivation techniques, the output of various crops has increased to a certain extent.

Due to the short period of promotion, the planting technology has not been fully mastered by farmers, and the yield has only increased by less than [-]%, but it has already made people's lives much better.

With a better life, the number of people fleeing from nationality will naturally decrease, and many refugees who fled to the mountains have even returned to their original villages, and the population has increased.

The increase in harvest and production has increased the income of land rent; the increase in population has also increased the income of oral and counted taxes; and the number of criminal cases and litigation disputes in the country has also decreased.

Taxes, population, and the number of prisons are the criteria for assessing counties.

So just looking at these few items, it is not a problem for Changyi Kingdom to get a "most" in this year's big class.

While talking, Zhang Poji put the bamboo slips that recorded various data one by one in front of Liu He.

Looking at these yellowed wood bumps, Liu He felt a little headache, this was only part of the documents.To send all the bamboo slips used in the class examination to Chang'an, I am afraid that several ox carts will be used.

Moreover, the range that can be engraved on bamboo slips is limited, and it is inevitable that the handwriting will be blurred, making people dizzy.

The censor in charge of the examination and the officials of Tingwei in Chang'an are probably highly myopic.

"The items of population, taxation, and prison are all excellent. Prime Minister Changyi will definitely have a good result in this lecture."

"Mr. An Le has told us more than once that Changyi Kingdom cannot have the current situation without the sect. Neither he nor the people will forget the kindness of the sect."

An Le is the current Chancellor of Changyi, now in his fifties, with a family background of Xiaolian, he is a smooth and capable follower.

Zhang Liji's words are not polite words, at least nine out of ten people in Changyi Kingdom will be grateful to him—it's just that some people don't know his true identity.

Zhang Liji is a veteran in handling copybooks, and he is naturally familiar with the process of class examinations. Liu He can't help much with the specific process, but he can put forward some different opinions.

"Every major class is customized, and it hasn't been changed for many years. I believe that Master Zhang is naturally handy, and I don't know much about class exams, so I can't help much."

"However, I can make a few immature suggestions on the details, and let the master see if it is beneficial."

This is what Zhang Poji waited for. Liu He's suggestion did not dare to say that it turned the world upside down, but at least it was worth a fortune. He could always hear the thunder in a silent place. This has been verified many times.

"In my opinion, the content to be evaluated in this big class is divided into the exterior and the interior. The interior is the foundation of the exterior, and the exterior is the skin of the interior. The exterior and the interior are also interdependent." Liu He intentionally made simple things complicated. direction said.

As soon as Zhang Poji heard the first sentence, his eyes lit up. He had governed two counties and one country with Changyi Prime Minister, and had experienced regular and major lectures seven or eight times. interdependence” statement.

Although some can't understand, but the curiosity has been completely lifted.

"The trainees have a fresh mind, please advise."

"Here [here] is a summary of the specific conditions of the population, taxes, and prisons. The past three years in Changyi Kingdom have been smooth, and of course there is no need to fake it."

"This [list] is the form of the submitted documents. We can use our minds to let the officials in the Tingwei Mansion and the Yushi Mansion who are in charge of the lecture have a clearer view of the government and people of Changyi Kingdom."

After Liu He finished speaking, he asked for a pen, and directly drew a square frame on the table, added a few horizontal and vertical lines inside, and finally added the name and number...

"This picture is called a table. It has different shapes and is ever-changing. It is most suitable for presenting content such as numbers. It is clear and neat."

As Liu He spoke, he drew a bar chart and a pie chart on several cases, explaining the pros and cons of different charts while drawing, and Zhang Poji kept sighing "tsk tsk tsk".

Zhang Poji has been obsessed with documents and copywriting for more than ten years, so he can easily see the usefulness of the "art of diagrams".

"It's really a magic weapon, incredible, incredible!" Zhang Liji not only said that the technique of diagrams is incredible, but also that Liu He is incredible.

"Where did I learn the art of diagrams? There are some classics for the little official to refer to."

"Hehe, I created them all myself, and there are no classics to refer to."

"The sect is really wise and intelligent, but this big lesson can't be completed in a day and a half, and it's inconvenient to go in and out of the prime minister's mansion under the sect. What should I do?"

"Master Zhang, don't worry, there is a doctor named Li Zhang in the palace who has already learned my true biography. I will send him over to help you. In addition, he will not hide the art of tabulation." teach you."

Director Zhang was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted Liu He.

If it was Liu He a year ago, he would definitely avoid it, but now he can accept it calmly—in different environments, he has to adapt to different lives.

"Master Zhang, please don't thank me, I still have something that can add to the copy of Changyi Prime Minister's University Class."

"Please do not hesitate to enlighten me."

"Master Zhang, have you ever heard of something called paper?"

It is not unnecessary for Liu He to ask this question, because hemp paper has already been used in some places in the early Han Dynasty.

The raw material of this hemp paper is hemp fiber. Although the surface is rough, it can already be used for writing and drawing.

Sure enough, Zhang Poji nodded after thinking for a while, and said, "Not only have I heard, but I have also seen it."

"It's more clear to draw this chart on this paper, lined up one by one, than on this small wooden tablet."

Zhang Poji was overjoyed at first, but then he frowned and said: "But this hemp paper tends to scatter ink, so I'm afraid it may not be easy to use."

This is what Liu He was waiting for. He smiled mysteriously, and then said, "I have a secret method that can improve the disadvantages of hemp paper, making it whiter and brighter, and greatly improving the situation of loose ink."

"Please enlighten me!" This is the third time Zhang Liji said this in this short period of time.

"That's natural. I'll let Li Zhang bring it along with me, and let the worker try to do it then."

Liu He settled the matter in this way, and then, with Zhang Poji's gratitude, he took Yu Wuyou into the broken carriage and drove towards the north city of Changyi City go.

When they gradually disappeared at the end of the street, a man in his 50s, wearing a robe and a green ribbon around his waist, came behind Zhang Liji at some point.
