Chapter 884 Reform of Imperial Examination?

When Du Jinning returned home, he found that Zhao Wei was staying in her princess mansion, drinking tea with Qi Muyuan in the courtyard.

But she is not surprised.During this time, Zhao Hu often came to her place.

It's not that her charm is so great that it can attract Zhao Wei to run to her.What attracted Zhao Yu were several plants that Cao Hongsheng brought back from overseas.

When she came back from Gui Province, Cao Hongsheng and the others had already arrived in the capital.

Bringing all kinds of food and plant seeds from overseas is what Du Jinning said when he drew up the blueprint for Zhao Wei.When Cao Hongsheng and the others went to sea, Du Jinning was in a state of disappearance. Zhao Wei still firmly remembered Du Jinning's words and told Cao Hongsheng to collect grain seeds and plant seeds that were not available in the Song Dynasty.

Qi Muyuan also knew that Du Jinning was thinking about overseas seeds, and also asked Qi Bokun to tell Cao Hongsheng.

So after Cao Hongsheng brought the seeds in and offered them up, Zhao Wei ordered them not to be touched.When Du Jinning returned to the capital, someone sent the seeds to Du Jinning's Princess Mansion.

So Du Jinning was pleasantly surprised to find that among the seeds sent were sweet potatoes, a high-yield food, peppers that she was thinking of, and some seasoning seeds and plant seeds that Song Dynasty did not have.

Although there are no potatoes, it is a pleasant surprise to get back sweet potatoes, not to mention the peppers that can make all kinds of delicacies.

Du Jinning didn't know whether she was pregnant with a boy or a girl. People said that hot and sour taste was hot and sour, but her favorite taste was hot and sour.Now that the chili peppers are delivered to her, she is almost dozing off on the pillow, which really makes her happier than when she got the first prize in the exam.

What made her even more happy was that Cao Hongsheng said that these things were not worth much in the local area, so he bought ten sacks of each.Ten sacks of sweet potatoes is nothing, but ten sacks of peppers is very impressive.

When she eats chili peppers, she can save the seeds inside to make seeds, but the chili peppers outside can be eaten without feeling guilty at all.Unlike sweet potatoes, she ate a roasted sweet potato, thinking that the vines from this sweet potato would be able to plant a few plots of land, so that the people of Song Dynasty could eat sweet potatoes earlier, so she couldn't eat it at all.

So these days, she has secretly made hot and sour noodles in her yard and ate them several times.

She knows the characteristics of these things, understands their growth habits and planting techniques, but she can't show them.

So knowing that the autumn season is not suitable for planting sweet potatoes and peppers, she still opened a few plots in the Princess Mansion and planted them.Of course, I only used two sweet potatoes and a little seed, so it was an experiment.

When the sweet potato and pepper seeds sprouted in her house, Zhao Hu would run to her from time to time.

Seeing Du Jinning come in, Qi Muyuan went up to support her, poured her another glass of boiled water, and didn't say a single word of blame, Zhao Meg tutted twice: "She ran to Zhuangzi again, why don't you say a word about her?"

He likes to come to the Princess Mansion. He said that he cares about the growth of sweet potatoes and peppers. In fact, only he knows that he likes the atmosphere of the Princess Mansion.Sitting here, chatting with Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning, it seems that the whole person is relaxed.

Others were terrified when they saw him, but Du Jinning seemed to treat him like a royal brother, and getting along with him was very natural.Qi Muyuan was a little cautious at the beginning, but now, like Du Jinning, he can regard him as a friend and get along with him at ease.

Qi Muyuan smiled, and looked at Du Jinning affectionately and dotingly: "She doesn't have any physical discomfort, and going for a walk can make her feel better, and there is nothing wrong with going."

"If I don't want to go, the rice on the Zhuangzi is out of order, and others want to criticize me, brother Huang, don't you feel embarrassed?" Du Jinning said with a smile.

Knowing that her words were suspected of being deceitful, Zhao He's mood became very good.

"Your majesty, princess, son-in-law, Guan Shangshu is here." A servant came in and reported.

"Please."

After a while, Guan Lehe came in.He obviously didn't expect Zhao Hui to be here, he was startled, and hurried forward to salute.

"Excuse me, sit down." Zhao Wei waved his hand, "I just take the time to come and sit down, and I don't need to respect the courtesies of the emperor and ministers."

Some time ago, Zhao Wei established the Ministry of Commerce and appointed Guan Lehe as the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce.

Guan Lehe came over, first to visit Du Jinning, and second to discuss something with Du Jinning.

At this time, Zhao He was here, so he simply said to Zhao He directly: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Commerce is short of people, when will you send some people to Weichen again?"

Because the Ministry of Commerce is newly established, it is still an empty shell, and it is very short of manpower.

When it came to the manpower problem, Du Jinning also hurriedly said: "Brother Emperor, I am also short of people here. You have also seen the seedlings on the ground. If the planting is successful, I will have to plant a large area next year. These jobs cannot rely on tenant farmers. It has to be an official from the Ministry of Industry.”

Zhao Wei sighed heavily, and spread his hands: "Where can I go to change people for you?"

The spring is held every three years, and the exam was only completed last year. The officials who were selected just filled the vacancy vacated by the family.Now Guan Lehe and Du Jinning reached out to ask him for someone, how could he give it.

"Your Majesty, do you think it is possible to directly appoint a few people to be officials in the Ministry of Commerce?" Guan Lehe asked.

Zhao Wei frowned and shook his head: "The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. Even if there is a shortage of people at this time, don't open such an opening casually. Once this opening is opened, it will be difficult to close it."

Du Jinning didn't want Zhao Wen to misunderstand Guan Lehe, and asked, "Why does the teacher want the emperor to directly appoint officials? Is it just because there is a shortage of people?"

Guan Lehe glanced at Du Jinning gratefully, and explained: "To be honest, many newly promoted Jinshi have been studying hard for many years. , the talents are worthy. But I have seen some useful talents in the south in the past few years, but they have no time and energy to study and cannot obtain fame."

Du Jinning looked at Zhao He: "Brother Huang, have you changed your mind about the content of the imperial examination?"

Ever since Du Jinning put forward her suggestions in the strategy theory during the palace examination, the entire Song Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes under her step-by-step guidance and Zhao He's implementation.The Ministry of Commerce where Guan Lehe works was established because of Du Jinning's suggestion.

Both Zhao He and Guan Lehe knew that Du Jinning had a calm temper, and she never spoke casually.Since she mentioned changing the content of the imperial examination, she must have a very mature idea.

Both were excited.

Especially Zhao Wei, he felt that what Du Jinning said, the pattern of imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty was likely to change in the future.

He couldn't wait to ask: "Tell me first, what do you think? How do you want to change?"

　I originally planned to end it today, but the code was deleted, and the code was deleted, and then I found that I couldn't finish it today, so I will continue tomorrow.One update today, good night
