Chapter 504 The stars shine
Song Yingxing barely passed the examination. With the qualification of tribute scholar, he could take part in the palace examination. But his traditional knowledge and new knowledge are very ordinary, and he would not be ranked among the top three. His honor of winning the top prize is 100% due to his fame.

As the author of "Tiangong Kaiwu", although nothing in this book was invented or created by Song Yingxing, he was able to systematically summarize these not-elegant knowledge in the general environment of the time, which can be regarded as an ability. .

Hong Tao planned to test whether this master could go down to the grassroots level to receive training while improving his knowledge base and accepting new things, so as to become a manager of the industrial sector in the future.

Yes, a manager rather than a creator. Song Yingxing's advantages lie in integrating and summarizing, and being able to withstand loneliness and pressure. He has not shown creativity, at least not from historical records. These qualities are more suited to being a manager than an explorer.

Zhang Chun was even more surprised. He had neither Sun Yuanhua's talent nor Song Yingxing's aura of honor, and his test scores were quite satisfactory. The level of top three A and second A is at the bottom. The reason why he jumped to the second place in the list is all due to a particularly unexpected characteristic, his personality.

Jin Yiwei mentioned when he first reported that the gang members panicked when they saw someone lying on the ground, and they dispersed like birds and beasts. Only this guy didn't run away, claiming that he dared to take responsibility and that he was not afraid of his shadow being distorted.

And he kept his word, even if the notorious Jin Yiwei caught him and threatened him, he still refused to admit that he had killed someone, and he did not betray anyone present, including his opponent.

Hong Tao's evaluation of him was just four words: Censor of Zuodu! If I had to add a prefix, it would be six words: It is possible in the future!
The New Deal requires people with skillful political skills and smart minds, but they cannot do things without a bottom line like themselves. In order to achieve the goal, they must be sinister and evil, and they must balance the necessary appearance and reputation.

Zhang Chun, with his perseverance and courage, is the best candidate for the supervision department in the future. Of course, if you want to become a censor or even become a censor, it is useless just to pass the Jinshi examination. You have to go through several years of hard work.

If you can keep your true nature intact in the officialdom where intrigues, materialism, and competition for power exist, and you learn more political tactics and skills, then you can be barely competent.

But Hong Tao did not intend to arrange them into any department such as the Sixth Department, Sixth Section, Fifth Academy, General Affairs Department, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, etc., let alone send them to local posts.

At present, there are no suitable locations in Guangdong and Fujian. Even if there are, no one has time to help them adapt slowly. They have become fierce battlefields and are not suitable for training new recruits.

In the General Staff Department, Hong Tao wants to send all the top three undergraduates to the General Staff Department for training. There they would not only be exposed to new learning and new policies, but they would also not be swallowed up by the huge officialdom system.

As for whether there are suitable positions in the staff department, don't worry about that. The navy has a staff, the army has a staff, shipyards, machinery plants, foundries, ironworks, alkali plants, spinning mills, woolen mills, shipping offices and customs also have staff officers, and even the imperial court also has a general staff.

If necessary, staff can be immediately stationed in the mines and coking kilns. In Hong Tao's hands, the General Staff Department has long been freed from the limitations of military use, and has become an all-rounder integrating intelligence, supervision, planning, logistics and military purposes. It can be moved wherever it is needed. No department can jurisdiction.

It is a pity that no one in the court has been aware of this potential danger so far. Instead, they have focused more on the navy, army, customs, Guangdong, Fujian and other places. Speaking of celebrity aura, stars really shine among the candidates in this session. In addition to Song Yingxing, there are also Yuan Chonghuan, Qian Qianyi, Zhou Tingru, and Zhuang Jichang. Whichever one you pick out is no worse than Song Yingxing, or even better.

In terms of management and coordination capabilities and depth of understanding of court politics, they are much better than the top pick, second pick, and top pick. However, there are only three places in the first class. Hong Tao can only choose who to move forward and who to move back based on his own needs and the current situation.

In fact, being given a second-class title is not a low price. More than 4,000 candidates rushed to get on the single-plank bridge, but in the end, only more than 300 people got the title of Jinshi, less than one tenth.

"After discussing with Ye Xianggao, the cabinet or the Ministry of War will come up with a proposal to abolish the three guards of Tianjin and change it to Tianjin Zhili Prefecture, and let Huang Daozhou be the magistrate of the prefecture, with a few children from the Haikou Division to help.

Make it clear to him that there are many factories here, young people gather here, there are also naval bases and shipping offices, and there is frequent exchange of people and goods. He doesn't need to worry about guarding the barrier. I just want to turn Tianjin Prefecture into a prosperous place for merchants as soon as possible. If you have the ability, use it without fear. "

In addition to the top three undergraduates, Hong Tao is most satisfied with the two new scholars from Fujian, Zhuang Jichang from Quanzhou and Huang Daozhou from Zhangzhou.

After knowing the cause and content of the quarrel in Jieyun Tower, Hong Tao felt that they were young and weakened versions of Li Zhi. The books I read from saints are true, but I don’t believe in the teachings of saints at all. On the contrary, I am very passionate and knowledgeable about how to do business.

This may be the power of role models. Since Li Zhi became a bachelor in the cabinet, he has become a role model in his hometown in Quanzhou. After becoming the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and promoting the New Deal, his image in Fujian became even bigger.

The people of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, who have a tradition of doing business, regard Governor Li as the third object of prayer after Mazu and the God of Wealth. They not only believe in and learn from him, but also carry forward their inheritance. Zhuang Jichang is a typical example.

Huang Daozhou, on the other hand, admired Yuan Keli, who was capable of both civil and military skills. He mentioned many times in his policy questions the idea of ​​using the navy to escort merchant ships to trade in Southeast Asia and even the West, and calculated the costs and benefits of each trip in detail. On paper, It is indeed a sure profit!

In this case, there is no need to wait for qualifications in the court, and there is no need to dawdle in the Sixth Department or Sixth Section. Directly send someone to work in a practical position to try. As the saying goes, it is clear whether a mule or a horse is a horse after being pulled out for a run. Even if you are not very successful, you still have room for learning and improvement based on your youth.

Zhuang Jichang is eight years older than Zodiac Zhou and is relatively calm. Hong Tao planned to assign Zhou Daodeng as his subordinate, using what he saw, heard and experienced in Fujian to make Shandong's new policy smoother and easier to implement.

Isn't it true that Huang Daozhou is aggressive at heart and likes the navy to worship Yuan Keli? It just so happens that his idol is in Dagokou. Now there is no need to worship from a distance. Just sit in Tianjin Prefecture and be a good steward. Wipe the Navy’s butt every day and see how long it takes to turn the idol in your mind into a vomit image. It should not exceed three years!
