The whole family travels with me

After lavishing rewards and punishments, Wei Zhuang immediately implemented a series of policies. The first was to abolish the exclusive power of aristocratic families and announce the imperial examination system. The people who had just struggled out of the dire quagmire were devastated by this news before they could recover.

Many people even came to Dragon City to seek confirmation because they couldn't believe it. When they learned that the news was true, a group of people knelt at the gate of the palace and kowtowed to Wei Zhuang, shouting "True Dragon Emperor, long live Wei Guo". Just with these words, Wei Zhuang felt that everything he did was worth it.

Of course, this move was also resisted by many aristocratic families. However, the big clans headed by the Gongsun family have all declined in the change of dynasties. Even if the remaining aristocratic families united, they would not be able to make any waves, let alone Huang Ye's. A hundred thousand troops are still stationed in Yuncheng, ready to take down those who disobey at any time.

In the first session of the imperial examination, Wei Zhuang had no experience, so he had to look for help from Chi Niangui, his brother and sister, and Ou Han again.

Ou Han was quite capable. After all, he was also from the imperial examination. He just read a bunch of test questions to Wei Zhuang silently and had them transcribed by the palace staff. Wei Zhuang took the things and looked at them for a while, then his smile froze, "I want to know, what is a temperate continent?" Sexual climate?”

He knew all the words, so why couldn't he understand it when they were put together?
  Chi Niangui's eyes widened, "You don't know this? We live on the earth. The earth is round, with longitude and latitude lines. It is divided into tropical, temperate and cold zones according to different latitudes. They also have their own typical climates. Logically speaking, Osai The empire is located in the temperate zone and has a typical temperate continental climate. However, due to the barrier of hundreds of thousands of mountains and the influence of the ocean, it has rain all year round.

The rainwater coming from the sea is blocked by hundreds of thousands of mountains, forming a large amount of rainwater in the south, so the main climate of the Orsay Empire should be a temperate maritime climate, and the characteristics of these climates are."

Chi Niangui taught Wei Zhuang the knowledge he learned at the Royal Academy, and gained a lot of insights from it.

Wei Zhuang was fascinated by what he heard and couldn't hide the shock on his face, "How do you know so much?"

Chi Niangui puffed out his chest with pride, "Because my father is the most powerful person in the world, he can do anything!"

Wei Zhuang hurriedly asked: "In your opinion, what climate zone should Weiguo have?"

"Well." Wei Zhuang scratched his head and said with a smile: "I don't know the latitude here, so it's hard to evaluate it, but I feel like I haven't seen it rain a few times since I've been here for so long. It should have a temperate continental climate! What does my sister think? "

Chi Niannian looked confused, "Brother, I'm just a minor in geography, you think highly of me!"

Wei Zhuang looked puzzled, "Minor?"

Huang Ye happened to come over. Hearing their conversation, he couldn't help but stepped forward and knocked Chi Niangui on the head. "You took a trip with me, but why didn't you make any progress? First of all, this is not a temperate zone, it is a subtropical zone! We are at sea. After walking south for so long, you don’t feel anything at all?”

Chi Niangui covered his head and felt aggrieved, "Auntie, I know! But there is so little rainfall here, how can it be in the subtropical zone!"

Chi Niannian also quickly defended Chi Niangui, "Yes, yes! I also think it rains less here!"

"Have you never heard of the word 'drought'?" Huang Ye rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky.

Chi Niangui muttered in dissatisfaction, "No, no, even if it's a drought, the temperature won't match it!"

"That's because there are Shiwandashan and Yunling Mountains. The Yunling Mountains block the water vapor from the ocean to the south, and the Shiwandashan blocks the water vapor from the Osai Empire. But in any case, Huiping Prefecture and Changzhou to the south of it Aren't Xifu all close to the sea? When the southeast wind blows in summer, water vapor from the sea naturally comes, so it has a subtropical monsoon climate!
  The reason why it didn’t rain much during this period is because of special weather reasons. Have you heard of the El Niño effect and the Nanela effect? "Huang Ye stared at Chi Niangui without blinking.

Chi Niangui suddenly realized, "I understand! So that's the reason! Sure enough, theory should be combined with practice. My father is right, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles!"

As he said this, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said to Wei Zhuang: "Brother Wei, I'm sorry, I'm very inexperienced. I can't help you with this job. You can hire someone more talented." Wei Zhuang: "."

Chi Niannian also hurriedly said: "I majored in etiquette, flower arrangement, tea tasting, poetry, flower appreciation, playing the piano, literature, Cuju, and horse racing, and minored in geography, humanities, and politics. You can ask me about the majors, but I only know a superficial way about the minors. , you can ask me about these, I don’t know anything else.”

Wei Zhuang chuckled, "Princess is really busy!"

"Isn't that right! I said learning those things is useless! I don't know why my father wants to add these useless courses. It's not as interesting as learning Qinggong from my aunt! Let me tell you, my aunt said that I am extremely talented, and now my ability to escape is gone. She is half the real person!" Chi Niannian was very proud.

Tian Huai, who just came over, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Huang Ye glared at Chi Niannian speechlessly, "You still have the nerve to say it!"

Tian Huai stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have sent people to investigate the cultural level of the people of Weiguo according to the request of Prince Chi. That's it."

"Speak straight."

Tian Huai twitched his lips slightly in embarrassment, "In the entire Wei Kingdom, only the people in Longcheng and Yuncheng are better off. Less than [-]% of the people in other cities are literate, let alone know about the important affairs of the court. Even in Longcheng and Yuncheng, The people in Yuncheng only heard about Mr. Shu's nonsense in the teahouse. All they knew was false information. They could recognize a few words, but they were not very sure. When writing Lin, they said it was called "wood", and a lot of people applauded. .”

Everyone, "."

At this level, the imperial examination is still being held! If they can draw something on the paper, it's considered great.

Huang Ye suggested: "I think you should eliminate illiteracy first! To establish a school and cultivate the pillars of the country, it will take at least five to ten years to produce a wave of usable talents. In these ten years, each position will be changed every three years. Don't let one If people stay in one place for too long, they will easily develop second thoughts."

She expressed some of her opinions, and everyone nodded.

Chi Niangui took notes directly and asked a few questions from time to time.

Cai Yong and Wei Ke were packing their luggage. When they heard that Huang Ye was teaching Wei Zhuang, they looked at each other with relief.

Cai Yong whispered: "Old woman, you can feel free to follow us now!"

Wei Ke rolled his eyes angrily, "What should I worry about? It's just that after living in the Wei family for so many years and having a relationship with them, I'm really not used to having to leave suddenly now!"

Wei Ke looked away, not wanting Cai Yong to see her red eyes.

Cai Yong chuckled and said, "Come on! We have spent our whole lives together. I don't know what your temper is? Don't worry! Weizhuang has so many brothers, so there is nothing to worry about! It's just that this marriage is really dragging on." of!"
