Chapter 17: Shiqi’s irritability and the crime of leaving the emperor

"In addition, the paintings of "Yi Ming" are not simple either. "

Zhu Xian held up "Ming Pao" and looked at the illustrations.

"Some people may think that the form of illustrations and text just follows the trend. I thought that if I draw a few illustrations for my articles and submit them for submission, I can directly follow the trend and catch up with this trend."

"But I want to say that it seems easy, but it is not."

"In terms of painting skills, "Yi Ming" also created new ideas, unique style, and a school of his own. "

"Ordinary painting methods, in the final analysis, are just ink paintings. However, ink paintings are not compatible with printing, and it is difficult to produce effects. This may be the reason why there has been no new form of illustrations and text for several years since printing has been popularized. .”

"The painting method of "Yi Ming" is tentatively called direct description.This direct description method seems simple, but in fact it is quite learned.I have been pondering and studying for a long time, and for the time being I can only see the mystery hidden in the structure and shadows.But I always feel that there are still some key knowledge that I haven’t fully understood yet. "

"If someone really wants to follow the trend, I'm afraid they will have to buy several issues of Ming Pao and imitate and study repeatedly before they can barely achieve the style of realism and the printing technique."

When Nan Yi heard this, he secretly thought that it was awesome.

Zhu Xian is worthy of being a lecturer for many years and has a sharp eye. He is not only experienced in guessing and answering questions, but also analyzes sketching techniques very clearly.

Almost only the perspective skills are missing, and I have figured out the context of sketching.

However, in Blue Star, even if you know the correct technical direction and follow the tutorials to learn from scratch, ordinary people still have to practice for at least half a year before they can be considered successful.

However, scholars in this world do not have professional sketching tutorials. They just rely on Nan Yi's illustrations that combine sketching, sketching, and cartooning techniques, but they don't know how long it takes to imitate them before they can master them.

"The most important thing is, do you think that direct description can only be used to illustrate characters and stories?"

Zhu Xian did not analyze Nan Yi's painting skills too much, but changed the subject and said: "I just said that if this newspaper had been published half a year earlier, maybe the relevant topics would have been available in the exam this year. Why did I say this? It's not that "The Tao changes at any time", but lies in its "avoiding the weak and focusing on the real". "

“Since Emperor Li ascended the throne, he has admired pragmatism and hated lies. He even dismissed many officials from the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Agriculture, and Ministry of Civil Affairs for “several crimes.”If Emperor Li were to learn about these painting techniques, he would probably be asked about painting during the annual exams, and would be asked about the school's land.However, although there is no need to worry about this section this year, those of you who intend to repeat the exam next year may not be unable to make it. "

As soon as this statement came out, all the students were shocked at first, and then couldn't help but complain.

According to Emperor Li's temperament at that time, he might not be able to do such a thing by putting a painting question on the examination paper.

After all, the "Political Examination" among the four subjects in the annual examination, which is a subject similar to the "Exerting Examination" of Blue Star Tianxia, ​​was the new examination content designated by Emperor Li in the first year of Tianqi.

The "geometric crime" that Zhu Xian just mentioned was also the largest case of demotion and dismissal in the history of the Dali Dynasty that occurred in the first year of Tianqi.

This world pays special attention to rules and treaties.

Not only are there multi-dimensional mutual constraints between different industries and departments, but even above the court, imperial power and scholarly power are also restricting each other.

Li Huang was not very old, and he had joined the big sect from a small sect. He succeeded to the throne in a hurry. He had no close followers to serve him outside and no support from the sect elders. In the court, some government orders were often rejected by the officials of the nine ministries.

Emperor Li was angry, so he became ruthless and took nine account books in person.

He chose the Department of Finance of the Ministry of Commerce, the Department of Agriculture of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Department of Civil Affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and directly questioned the details of the account books of the three departments on the spot during the court meeting.

First, it was the Finance Department of the Ministry of Commerce. After Emperor Li asked about the per capita income and tax situation in Li, he then asked about the per capita tax in Li Beijing.

The Finance Department's account books currently only contain a general ledger of various economic data for various regions, and do not involve per capita data.

Emperor Li asked about per capita taxes. He did not have corresponding data and could not answer directly. He was derelict in his duty.

After introducing the population data from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and calculating the per capita taxes of Dali and Lijing respectively, Li Huang even issued a soul torture: "In the majestic capital, dignitaries and dignitaries are entrenched, and wealthy businessmen are gathered. Why is the per capita tax not enough?" Is the per capita tax rate high in Dali?”

The director of the Finance Department, Su Guang, still couldn't answer. This was a dereliction of duty.

As a result, all officials from the Finance Department of Beijing resigned, large and small.Emperor Li directly transferred financial officials from various counties and asked them to work overtime to prepare the financial accounts for the first year of Tianqi. He also promised that those with outstanding performance would be promoted directly and officially stay in the capital.

Then came the Agriculture Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Civil Affairs Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Li Huang also operated in the same way. He didn't care about "approximately", "approximately", and "total". He just kept asking for details and calculating averages.

As long as the annual household registration data, yield data per mu, etc. are calculated, if there are any invariance, self-contradiction, or data changes that are very regular, they will all be dismissed.

After a while of accounting, it was found that although the Second Department of Agriculture and Civil Affairs was not completely wiped out like the Finance Department, it was still reduced by more than half in the end.

Li Huang's strategy is simple.

Since the nine ministries and hundreds of officials suppressed him with rules, they used military power to restrict the imperial power.

Then he will directly investigate whether the official's buttocks are sitting upright.

rule?The biggest rule in the world is to "stay in your position and seek your own government."

I don't care whether you are greedy or not, I just ask you whether you have done your job well.You haven't even done your job well, how dare you steal a high position?Get out of here!
It can be said that Lihuang's attack directly hit Baiguan's fatal point.

Under Emperor Li's repeated "geometry" questions, many officials from the three departments were demoted.

Mainly, there are many account books, compiled from local account books.

Local officials are slack, and few will really update the account books seriously, especially household registration information and field information. They will just use the past data, and then slightly modify and compile it, and then they can get over it.

The high-ranking officials in the capital also turned a blind eye, and unless it was exactly the same as in previous years, they would not delve into it.

After all, that's how it's always been.

But it’s always been like this, do you think it’s true?
Lihuang said: If you feel that this has always been the case, I can send you down to meet the previous emperors; here, we can only discuss the matter based on the matter, and it has not always been like this!
Lihuang himself can be said to be the No. 1 Dali on the road of breaking old rules and reforming and opening up.

Because if you want to follow the old rules, when you leave the emperor, there is no way to add the title of empress dowager to your biological mother.

After all, the previous generation Emperor Li died suddenly, and because the royal family had no direct descendants, the current Emperor Li succeeded to the throne as a cousin, which was to join the small sect into the large sect.

According to convention, he had to adopt the direct line of the royal family, recognize the biological mother of the previous generation Emperor Li as the empress dowager, and continue the direct line of heirs in order to gain the support of the royal family.

But Emperor Li was unwilling to adopt him at all.

Now that I am sitting on this throne, I am the Li Emperor, the head of the royal family, and the Emperor of Great Li.

How can one sit on the throne and have no imperial power?

The elders of the royal family did not support it, and the court officials and officials did not obey orders, so he fought against the officials alone, using the "rules" to question whether the officials were competent or not.

In this way, nine officials were slowly replaced within the rules. Only then could Emperor Li of the current dynasty struggle to assert his imperial power, gradually secure his throne, and issue orders. From the first year of Tianqi, the tax revenue of Dali doubled, the treasury was full, and the people were prosperous. .

There are also a series of innovative measures aimed at creating a prosperous and prosperous era.

There is no doubt that the people strongly supported the current dynasty's departure from the emperor.

But only in the scientific and annual examinations, the series of mathematics questions in the "political examination" make many students miserable and dare not support them.

Now, I heard Zhu Xian say that one day, direct-drawn paintings may also be included in the examination papers and turned into annual examination questions, which really made some younger students dumbfounded.

Among them, Zhou Qing, the youngest, couldn't help but howled: "My God, please open your eyes. Don't let Emperor Li see Ming Pao!"
