() These examinees may be proficient in poetry, proficient in scriptures, quick in thinking, and talented in writing, but the policy questions they answer must be more like castles floating in the air, with no reference value.

In the past, just after Li Longji ascended the throne, when he was excitedly reviewing his first palace examination papers, he was looking forward to whether he could find any talents, but he was greatly disappointed in the result, and the same was true for the second time.

The policy questions answered by the scholars are all generalized things, but every year there are complaints that the policy questions are answered as a criticism of current problems, and the lines are full of a sense of superiority that "everyone is drunk and I am alone". It seems that only he can see the dark side of the whole country.

And if he was asked to come up with a solution to the dark side, he couldn't explain why, and the final panacea answer was like "everything is a problem with the system", everything is a problem of the corruption of the powerful, like We "Hopes for the future of the Tang Dynasty" are all being suppressed by the powerful.

Even though he was disappointed with the uneven standards of the tribute scholars, Li Longji also knew that these elites in the examination room would still have a bright future after a period of training.

Therefore, Li Longji would sometimes patiently review one or two test papers. Although it was a castle in the air, he was still very willing to read the kind of articles that were written in a colorful way. The emperor of artistic cells.

The topic of this policy question is still closely related to current events. This topic is to ask candidates about the recent "banning of bad money, and it is acceptable to pay more than two baht and four cents." What is the significance of this practice, and after implementing this policy, Chang'an People's hearts are fluctuating, and all transactions have stopped. Is there any good solution.

When Wang Wei saw this topic, he couldn't help but feel happy. This topic is simple. Isn't it the most basic financial problem in later generations? Although he is a liberal arts monk, he has already talked about currency issues and politics in high school. Very detailed.

However, this question needs to be answered in parallel prose. If it weren't for Wang Wei's proficiency in parallel prose, he really wouldn't be able to express his idea of ​​surpassing others for thousands of years.

Just when he was contemplating the answer with confidence, he caught a glimpse from the corner of the eye of many gongshi with embarrassment on their faces, some were scratching their heads, some were biting their penholders, some were stroking their jaws, and some were showing displeasure. se, I don't know whether I hate this topic or this policy.

After all, this policy prohibits privately minted money. Naturally, there will be no problem with this policy in future generations. Who would dare to print renminbi privately?This is simply to die.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, which had just brought order out of chaos, many powerful families minted money privately for use. It can be imagined that once this policy advocated by Song Jing came out, although it had a profoundly benign effect on the currency system of the Tang Dynasty, But it also offended those powerful people more and more.

It's just that Song Jing's prestige is indeed very high now. Not long ago, officials and people in Guangzhou built a monument to Song Dynasty, but Song Jing said to Xuanzong: "I didn't have outstanding achievements when I was the governor of Guangzhou. It caused those people to flatter and flatter; to get rid of this bad atmosphere, I hope to start from this minister, and ask your Majesty to issue an edict to prohibit the erection of monuments for him. If you want to change this trend, please start from the minister, please stop it.)”

Li Longji adopted his suggestion.As a result, other states did not dare to erect monuments.

Wang Wei quickly conceived his own answer, what is the significance of this policy?Just think about the meaning of cracking down on counterfeit money—the proliferation of counterfeit money will cause national economic instability, and even lead to economic and social crises. It deprives and occupies national wealth by illegal means, interferes with the normal order of currency circulation, and destroys The principle of social credit erodes the healthy body of the national economy and forms a cancer in social and economic life.

Although the currency minted privately is not considered counterfeit currency, it is also similar to counterfeit currency. The most important thing is to destroy the word "faith", and the value of currency lies in credit, so the currency of generally powerful sovereign countries is very strong, and those regimes In a country with constant wars and changes, the currency is like waste paper.

The meaning of Wang Wei’s answer in parallel prose is to support this policy, and then pointed out the benefits of this policy, and why the official currency is stronger than the private currency. It is because of its credibility. He was happy when he wrote it, and even said If the country can maintain the credit of the currency, it can even issue paper money...

After writing too much, Wang Wei shouted in his heart that it was not good. Is this going off topic?No, this is no longer a digression. The so-called one step beyond is a genius, and if you go too far, you will become a lunatic. If it was in the Song Dynasty, a dynasty with more developed capital trade, it might not be out of the ordinary to propose the concept of paper currency. "Zi" came from the Song Dynasty, but in the Tang Dynasty...

Please ask for transparent glue, please ask for correction fluid, please resend the answer sheet!

It's a pity that this is impossible. Once the pen is written, it can no longer be modified...

Wang Wei could only hope that his exposition in the first half could impress the examiners. He settled down and prepared to answer the next question.

When answering this question, Wang Wei became more and more cautious. How to solve this problem of floating people's hearts because of money, there are naturally many good solutions in later generations, but how to make it a solution suitable for this era?

Of course, high-quality official coins should flow into the market as soon as possible, so he swiped his pen, as if he had become the prime minister in the political affairs hall, like the "keyboard political bureau" of later generations.

Let the national treasury spend tens of thousands of money to set up two cities in the north and the south, and use them to buy unsalable items in the hands of the people that can be used by the government at a par price. Can be circulated to the public.

In short, increasing official currency to enter the market, although bad currency always drives out good currency, but under this high-pressure policy at this time, there is not much room for bad currency and private currency to survive, and the people are definitely more willing to trust official currency than private currency.

At the end of the writing, Wang Wei still couldn’t help emphasizing one point, that is how to save the materials for minting coins, so that the coins with insufficient weight can be used as those with higher face value, but the key point of it is "credit", and then there is Wang Wei also mentioned the issue of preventing counterfeit money.

After finishing writing, Wang Wei admired himself for being able to write such a modern answer in parallel prose, but he wondered if Li Longji would see the question he answered carefully.

Wang Wei felt that his policy question was definitely the most profound one. Perhaps even the prime ministers in the political affairs hall knew how to ensure the good operation of the currency of the Tang Dynasty, but they didn't know why they did it. Wang Wei's Among the policy questions, there is a vague answer that directly points to the essence.

Then came the poems and prose questions. Wang Wei was naturally more calm. Anyway, he was writing poems that praised meritorious deeds. Basically, there were templates to follow. However, because of that gorgeous style, his quiet poetry style, it is precisely because of the extreme gorgeousness that it can be attributed to the plain.

For Wang Wei, apart from being nervous at the beginning, the whole palace test passed easily in the end. He is very confident in his strategy and questions. Can make people shine.

Dare to answer so "out of line" on the test paper, Wang Wei also has his own considerations. After all, the palace test is different from the provincial test. It has a certain opportunity to truly pass on his ideas to the knowledgeable superiors. It can be regarded as a direct opportunity to listen to heaven , so naturally the deeper the impression on people, the better, and the provincial examination can only be regarded as a qualification examination, what is needed is stability, if it is too surprising, there is a danger of the pearl being dusted.

And Wang Wei never wrote about the dark side of society in the answer sheet. Sometimes there is no need to expose those things at all, because many people know well that it is not "everyone is drunk and I am alone", but "everyone pretends to be drunk". Drunk and I wake up alone."

When Wang Wei answered questions, he always created a positive atmosphere and gave people a sense of forging ahead. The superiors never like to complain, but need solutions to problems.

At the end of the exam, it was already dark outside, and Wang Wei walked out of the exam room satisfied, a little hungry.

Few of the officials around Wang Wei are as relaxed as he is. Everyone seems to be a little dizzy by the policy issues that are closely related to current affairs. Some of them clearly know the benefits of rectifying the currency system, but they can’t say anything So come here.

After all, there is no finance class in this era. Anyone who has attended high school politics in future generations can understand the principles. Wang Wei finally realized the superiority of being a time traveler. It is useless to write a bunch of vernacular on the test paper, no matter how clever it is.

While walking, a tribute suddenly greeted Wang Wei and said, "I see that Wang Xiaolang is refreshed. It seems that the title of the gold list is in sight."

Wang Wei saw that the oldest person who struck up a conversation with him was Xu Anzhen, who was over 40 years old. His demeanor was not very good, and it seemed that he was also tortured by the palace examination questions. Wang Wei heard this person's faint compliment , I couldn't help being humble, after all, at Xu Anzhen's age, he could be regarded as Wang Wei's elder.

Then Xu Anzhen began to discuss the exam questions with Wang Wei, and the other tributes also pricked up their ears. Wang Wei couldn't help but feel a little funny. He only felt that the ancient candidates were similar to the modern ones in some places, and they all liked it. It's a pity that the answer is correct, but it can't change the result.

Wang Wei didn't keep his secrets too much, and he casually talked about his relatively systematic currency theory, which was very simple and easy to understand, which made many tributes look suddenly enlightened, and some regretted it and only hated themselves. I didn't expect to understand such a simple question.

What Wang Wei didn't expect was that his answer made many tributes feel awe, and they admired Wang Wei's talent even more.
