Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 674

Seeing that Du Jinning could see the root cause of the problem at a glance, Zhao Hu admired her more and became more interested in her ideas.

"So what's your idea?" he asked.

Du Jinning is full of ideas, but she can't just say that.

First of all, she is young and has little knowledge, so if she says too many far-sighted things, why not make Zhao Hu treat her as a monster?

Secondly, this involves the interests of the aristocratic families.How many reformers have thrown their heads and blood, and died under conspiracy and tricks because they touched the interests of others.Although she put life and death aside when she took the imperial examination, she couldn't just sacrifice herself in vain without doing anything.

Why die so stupidly when you can live?

"I'll go back and think about it first," she said.

"Alright." Zhao He nodded, "This has been a problem for a long time, and it is not so easy to solve. You are young and smart, so you might be able to come up with some good ideas. You think about it first, don't worry, take your time."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely think about it when I go back, and think hard." Du Jinning said.

Zhao He was amused by her words.

This kid is quite interesting to talk about.

He raised the brochure on the table again: "I read the methods in your brochure, and they are all good. However, it may be difficult to implement them." He sighed as he spoke.

If the problem of land annexation is not resolved, no matter how good these methods are, they will have little effect.

Du Jinning has an idea, but it's not the time to say it yet.She lowered her head and said nothing.

"Okay, you go down first." Zhao Yu said, after thinking for a while, he waved to Eunuch Wu next to him.

When Eunuch Wu approached, he said: "Take Lord Du out for a walk, and tell the guards at Ximen that if Lord Du wants to see me, tell them to report and not to block you back."

Du Jinning is just a sixth-rank official and has no qualifications to go to court.If she wanted to see Zhao He, she had to report through Yuwei.

But if every official came to ask Yuwei to report, saying that he wanted to meet the emperor, Zhao Hu didn't have to do anything all day long, he just waited to see people.So this kind of thing is not allowed.

Therefore, without the emperor's order, the imperial guards would never speak to the emperor on behalf of the officials.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Du Jinning gave a salute and retreated with Eunuch Wu.

Those people in the Hanlin Academy didn't know that Du Jinning had obtained the emperor's dispensation, and he could see the emperor whenever he wanted to.But this does not prevent them from being envious and jealous of Du Jinning.

When Du Jinning bid farewell to Eunuch Wu and returned to the Hanlin Academy, Wei Tong, Tao Wenju and Yao Rongguan surrounded him and said to Du Jinning, "Congratulations to Mr. Du for being favored by the emperor."

He also secretly asked why the emperor summoned Du Jinning.

Du Jinning said bluntly: "During the palace examination, I wrote an article on farming. The emperor was very interested. When he appointed me, he asked me to write a booklet and explain this in detail. I was called just now to talk about this with me. thing."

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Du is still young, and he still has research in farming. I admire him. He is really young and promising." Wei Tongdao.

Tao Wenju opened a pair of curious eyes and asked, "What good advice did Mr. Du offer on agriculture?"

What Du Jinning said in front of the hand-picked hall is not a secret, they all know it.What Tao Wenju was curious about was what Du Jinning said in the brochure he handed over later.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just think that our silks and satins in Suzhou and Hangzhou are famous all over the world. If we grow more mulberry trees in this area to raise silkworms, and then sell the silks and satins to Silla and Dashi, it will definitely bring great benefits to Song Dynasty in terms of foreign trade. Huge profits." Du Jinning said.

She wasn't talking nonsense, she had said something similar in that notebook, but it was just a fantasy about the future.

Upon hearing this, Tao Wenju curled his lips secretly.

stupid.Jiangnan is the granary of the Song Dynasty, and half of the country's grain comes from here.If the fields here are used to grow mulberry and silkworms, there will be more silk and satin, but the country's grain reserves will be less.At that time, once there is a calamity or a military disaster, Da Song will be finished.

Where is this Du Zhuangyuan so talented?It's just a guy with a brain and a lack of knowledge.I don't know if Zhao Wei has lost his mind and chose this kind of person to be the number one scholar.

Could it be that he took a fancy to his little boy?
Thinking of this, the two of them lost interest in asking any more questions.

Back in the front yard, Tao Wenju went to Deng Yi's room, told Deng Yi the news he had inquired, and said, "I don't think you need to focus on this person. This person has no talent, but he just relies on A face."

Deng Yi nodded and said, "I know it well."

Although Deng Yi came from a poor family, his position can be changed in the face of interests.As early as three years ago, Deng Yi vowed to squeeze out the old Chengzhi and become Chengzhi himself, and when he sat in this position with the support of the aristocratic family, he had already become a member of the aristocratic family.

More than half of the officials in the court are descendants of aristocratic families. They enjoy rich political resources, have a strong backing, climb fast, and are not easy to fall.Given the opportunity to become such a person, Deng Yi would naturally not be so stupid as to refuse.

Officials from aristocratic families are everywhere. Qi Muyuan, Guan Jiaze, Liang Xiankuan, and Fang Shaohua are all descendants of aristocratic families. Because Du Jinning bought a lot of land and mountains, he also became a big landlord, became the official generation and the rich generation , Decades later, the Du family has also become an aristocratic family.Seriously speaking, her position is consistent with those of these families.

It's just that Du Jinning comes from later generations, and she knows that "realizing common prosperity" is the cornerstone of Guotai Minan.For this, she must stand on the opposite side of the aristocratic family that "only rich me and force poor people".

But before he stood up, the first thing Du Jinning had to do was to protect himself.

After going to the office step by step, she thought for several days, and finally went to Qi Muyuan: "Your grandfather, what is your attitude towards me now?"

Qi Muyuan knew what Du Jinning wanted to ask as soon as he heard it.

He said: "Although he is a little unhappy, he doesn't mean to blame you. He just hates me. He has always admired you very much."

Du Jinning also felt that Qi Muyuan had been revealing his feelings for him for so long, even if Qi Bokun was angry, he probably had almost calmed down by now.

She said: "Go back and ask your grandfather for me, if I want to see him, is it okay? When you agree and it is convenient to meet, you send someone to call me when you go down."

"Okay." Qi Muyuan nodded.

Two days later, it happened to be the holiday, Qi Muyuan sent someone to say that Qi Bokun was free today and asked her to go to Qi's mansion to play.

Du Jinning took a detour to Yuyizhai, packed a few snacks as gifts, and then went to Qi Mansion.
