Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 624 Stand Out
During this period of time, the incident of Guan Zhengxiang was known to all courts, and the issue of scripts and regenerated rice was also the focus of discussion in the court.

Compared with other departments, those people in the Ministry of Industry are engaged in academic research. It is impossible to casually pass notes to the emperor without thoroughly researching the planting methods and effects of new rice such as ratooning rice.

Mr. Chen is different. He relied on the support of his family and his efforts to climb up. Now that he had this opportunity, he also learned from Guan Jiaxing that the script was written by Du Jinning, a disciple of Guan Lehe. Call an excitement.

Guan Lehe has always held a grudge against Guan Lehe who squeezed him out and climbed up to the Tuntian Qinglisi Langzhong.Now that he can take this opportunity to get him down and let Guan Lehe be dismissed from office like his brother, Mr. Chen is very happy.

Furthermore, as an official, what you are most afraid of is being unknown. After being an official for a lifetime, the emperor will not know that there is such a person as you.If you can make a big splash and put forward a refreshing opinion in front of the emperor, then you will not be far from being promoted.

So although he is not qualified to go to court, he is not helpless.

When he was in Muxiu, he summoned some officials to drink tea, and explained his theory of "low grain hurts farmers".

The interests of the aristocratic family were involved, and these people naturally paid attention to it. After a discussion, the elder brother of Mr. Chen brought up the matter in the court hall, and put forward the viewpoint of "cheap rice hurts the farmers, and we should treat the regenerated rice with caution" .However, he couldn't figure out the emperor's attitude, so Chief Chen's elder brother didn't mention Du Jinning, so as not to be robbed of the limelight by Guan Lehe.

Those officials who drank tea together came out to "second the proposal".

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was so angry that he almost scolded his mother in court.

It was the first time Zhao He heard about ratooning rice, so he became very interested and asked the Minister of Industry for details.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry had no choice but to report some of the situation he knew, and finally said: "Because there are not many people who believe the words of the script and put them into action to plant ratooning rice, the minister sent someone to count, and there are only seventeen. However, these [-] families are all planted in high-quality fields, and their rice yields have increased a lot. Well-maintained rice yields are half of the previous season’s yield, and those that are neglected can be [-] to [-] percent. Facts have proved that ratooning rice can increase yields It’s a good thing to increase income. As for whether the widespread promotion will really ‘hurt farmers’, this has to be carefully calculated by the Ministry of Household Affairs.”

Everyone in the court secretly scolded "Old Fox" in their hearts.

The old fellow was very shrewd, and he just put the numbers out, and didn't care about anything else.Anyway, this ratooning rice was not researched by the people of the Ministry of Industry, and they didn't have much credit for it.The Ministry of Industry simply stopped arguing and kicked the ball towards the Ministry of Revenue, and he just stood by and watched.

"All the lovers also think this is a bad thing, isn't it a good thing?" The emperor glanced at the officials from poor families, and someone immediately came out to oppose the saying that "cheap rice hurts farmers".

Each has its own position, each has its own reasons, and the court was arguing endlessly, and they couldn't argue for a reason until the end of the court.

The emperor finally said: "This matter, the Ministry of Household Affairs will conduct research and analysis to see whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or whether the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Retire."

When the court was dispersed, the officials standing in the back would naturally go first, and the officials standing in the front followed slowly.Qi Bokun walked out slowly behind the other ministers, thinking in his heart who would have written the book "Farming the Field".

Hearing the word "Huaben" and hearing that it was about farming, he naturally thought of Du Jinning.

If it was any other child, he wouldn't think about her. After all, he is from a poor family. It is serious to bury his head in his studies at this time. Even if he has thoughts in his heart, he has to hold back his thoughts, and wait until he is admitted to the Jinshi.

But Du Jinning is really not an ordinary child in Qi Bokun's eyes.With this little guy's ability, Qi Bokun is not at all surprised that there is a wave of waves in the capital right now.

Qi Bokun wanted to ask Guan Lehe if he knew about it.But Guan Lehe probably remembered going back to see Guan Zhengxiang, so he walked quickly, and when Qi Bokun came out, he had already boarded the carriage and left the front of the hall.

Qi Bokun thought for a while, and simply sent a boy to Taixue to ask Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan to return to Qi Mansion, while he himself returned home first.

Du Jinning had just finished school, and after receiving the letter, he hurried to Qi's house with Qi Muyuan. Qi Bokun had already asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal and waited.

Seeing the two people coming in, he smiled and said, "Eat first, let's talk after eating."

Even though Taixue is the highest school in the Song Dynasty, the students are either rich or expensive, and the food in the canteen is delicious, but it is still not as good as the food cooked by the chef.

Du Jinning was not polite to Qi Bokun, and sat down happily, holding up his chopsticks to eat with his grandparents and grandchildren.

After dinner, Qi Bokun asked Du Jinning: "Did you write the script of "Chang Tian Ji"?"

Du Jinning nodded embarrassedly: "Exactly."

"You boy." Qi Bokun tapped Du Jinning far away with his finger, and cursed with a smile, "You made such a big commotion without making a sound. Do you know that the court almost broke up today because of the regenerated rice you proposed?"

In front of Qi Bokun, Du Jinning didn't need to hide his mind at all.

She nodded and said: "Different positions and conflicts of interests, although I can't see it in person, I can guess it."

Qi Bokun looked at her appreciatively and gave her a thumbs up.

He asked again: "What do you want to do with such a book now?"

"Put the spine in the bag, so you can show your sharpness, so I recommend myself. I don't have any foundation. Even if I pass the general examination, if I want to stand out from the hundreds of Jinshi who participated in the imperial examination, I have to show my sharpness first. That's why I wrote this. This storybook. This is actually the same as those candidates who are participating in poetry festivals in Beijing and middle schools and want to become a blockbuster."

Although Qi Bokun could guess Du Jinning's intentions, he was still deeply moved after hearing her words.

Wanting to stand out and attract the attention of Beijing officials and the emperor is what many candidates want to do.But how many can do it successfully?The way everyone comes and goes is to write articles and poems, but Du Jinning caused controversy among the courtiers and attracted the attention of the emperor with a script, which is really unprecedented.

"How do you know about ratooning rice?" Qi Bokun asked curiously.

He hadn't had time to read the script of "Chang Tian Ji", but he heard the minister of the Ministry of Industry mention it in the court.He knew that Du Jinning had mentioned in the script that double-cropping rice could also be planted in this area of ​​the capital.

Du Jinning pointed out that it is not uncommon for double-cropping rice. After all, people in Gui Province have grown double-cropping rice for 300 years.Although the capital is northerly, it is not impossible to arrange the seasons well.

It's just that he has never even heard of the ratooning rice, how did Du Jinning know about it, and how did the people who read the storybook successfully plant it in one fell swoop, which made Qi Bokun extremely curious.
