back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 642
The sealing of this paper was originally done by the official Feng Mi.It's a pity that the Ministry of Rites can't send so many people, so the inspectors have to do it for them.And these officials of the Ministry of Rites, who were the ones who wrote the questions before, have now become counterpart readers, that is, proofreaders, who are responsible for transcriptions.

With nearly [-] papers, these officials from the Ministry of Rites are about to cry.Writing in the dark from dawn to dusk, and writing neatly without smudges, is simply the best way to test your patience.The Ministry of Rites has dispatched nearly a hundred officials, large and small, but it took ten days to complete the transcription work.

After these papers were copied and proofread, they were handed over to the test paper officer at the preliminary examination point to check whether there were "miscellaneous criminals" in the test paper.After confirming that it is correct, it will be handed over to the test paper officer at the review point to start evaluating the content, literary talent, etc. of the paper, and then comprehensively rank.

After the re-examination check point test paper officer has finished evaluating, it is not finished, and it has to be handed over to the primary examiner for the first school examination, and the judges are excellent, medium, and poor.After the initial examiner finished the evaluation, it was the chief examiner's calm down.The power of the chief examiner has been weakened to the greatest extent.If it was a few years ago, he could single-handedly drop the test paper.Now the first-time examiner has to watch from the sidelines, and the reviewer will discuss with the test paper officer before he can be dismissed.Anyway, after Wen Yanbo read it carefully, he felt that there was no discrepancy, so he let it go.After all, the Tribute Court Examination is only the second hurdle, and the real test is on that hurdle of the Palace Examination.Even if he passed the provincial examination, so what, Dashun has a precedent for Shengyuan to be deposed.So saving money or something is not a guarantee.On the contrary, if you win the province, the palace exam will be more stressful.If you can't get into the eyes of the emperor in the palace examination, it will only be a plummet, and you will be nothing but a laughing stock.

There were more than 300 people in the Gongyuan, and after more than 500 days of drumming, they finally judged the papers that could participate in the palace examination, a total of more than 500 papers.This is all because of the sudden increase in Enke candidates this time, so the corresponding number of candidates has also increased.In fact, if it weren't for Lu Chengqi's phrase "Let the wild leave no sage", perhaps Wen Yanbo would not dare to do this.With Lu Chengqi's words, Wen Yanbo withstood the pressure, gritted his teeth and expanded the number of candidates to more than [-], and only after there were no omissions did he dare to open the courtyard to unlock, and was ready to hold the test paper to the heaven.

These days, Lu Chengqi also wondered, why did Enke not see Gong Yuan move so slowly last time?Could it be that the officials dispatched so many this time are still too busy?
After [-] days, Lu Chengqi couldn't sit still, and was about to send Gao Hao to the Gongyuan to find out, but there was news that the Gongyuan was opened.When Lu Chengqi heard the news, he felt excited.Now he is too short of talents. The development of Jiangnan is not to invest funds and issue an imperial decree to complete the work. It also needs truly capable talents to manage it in order to build Dashun's granary.The potential of Jiangnan is much greater than that of Central Plains.Once Jiangnan is developed into the granary of the whole country, there will be no war in Dashun in the north.No matter how close the front is, Jiangnan can provide logistical support stably.As long as the soldiers obeyed their orders and the three armies obeyed orders, it would not be difficult at all to attack Liao in the north.Don't forget, in Lu Chengqi's hands, he is holding a Hongxiang rifle and two big weapons.As long as the cavalry is engaged, where can the Liao people be rampant?

The longer he was emperor, the more Lu Chengqi felt that fighting was fighting for money.Throughout the past dynasties, all prosperous dynasties have more troops.Take the Northern Song Dynasty in which Dashun corresponds to time and space as an example. The Forbidden Army alone had 80 soldiers by the time of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty.Excluding those empty pay, it is estimated that there will be 70.Supporting 70 people, the financial expenditure of the Northern Song Dynasty has not yet collapsed, which shows that it is prosperous and prosperous.But the Northern Song Dynasty was also unfortunate. The days of being too comfortable made them forget the danger, lose their blood and courage, and the fighting power of the imperial army was even more a joke.There are tens of thousands of people, but they can't defeat tens of thousands of golden soldiers. Bianliang was breached, the second emperor was captured, and there were thousands of ministers, concubines, and concubines... Jingkang's shame is still unsettled, and when will the courtiers hate it?The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was a sudden death. In the past dynasties, no dynasty ended abruptly when the national power reached its peak like the Northern Song Dynasty.This is also the pain of all Han people in later generations. The great rivers and mountains fell under the iron cavalry of the golden soldiers and were ravaged.It has been more than 10 years since the Central Plains was completely recovered...

If the national power is weak, no matter how many troops there are, it will only drag down the court.Only by opening up the cornucopia of the south of the Yangtze River, can Lu Chengqi have the confidence to fight the Liao Kingdom without damaging too much national power.Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty shocked the desert, but he used all his savings from Wenjing's rule.After the Xiongnu were driven away, the national power of the Western Han Dynasty took a sharp turn for the worse, which can be seen.Taking history as a guide, war is always a continuation of politics.Dashun and Liao Kingdom are world feuds, just like Heaven, Dynasty and Wa Kingdom are irreconcilable, sooner or later there will be a war.But if you want to control the war in your own hands, you must be strong yourself.This strength does not only refer to a strong military, but also a strong economy, a strong culture, and a strong people. What's more, there is a need for a strong person to lead the dynasty and launch a blow to destroy the country against the feud.

Gao Hao didn't expect that the little emperor in front of him would be stunned when he heard the news of the opening of the hospital. He called several times but got no response.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Gao Hao had no choice but to raise his voice, and Lu Chengqi finally came to his senses: "Finally, is Wen Qing here?"

"Your Majesty knows things like a god, Wen Yanbo, the political adviser, is asking for an audience outside the hall." Gao Hao did not dare to slack off, bowed his body, and followed Lu Chengqi's words.

Lu Chengqi suppressed his pounding heart, pretending to be calm and said: "Xuan!"

Gao Hao turned around and shouted: "Xuan Shen Zhi Zheng Shi Wen Yanbo has an audience!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Hao bowed and slowly exited the Chui Gong Hall.Not long after, a figure holding a stack of test papers appeared in the bright light.Lu Chengqi's heart was beating wildly "thumping" in disbelief, and so far, everything in his plan was proceeding smoothly.

"Chen Wenyanbo, see Your Majesty!"

"Freedom of courtesy! Wen Qing, is this the Enke Provincial Examination Paper?" Lu Chengqi was a little impatient, and said immediately.

Wen Yanbo presented the papers and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the examination papers for the Central Province. There are five hundred and seven people in total."

Lu Chengqi clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Okay!"

Wen Yanbo also laughed and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have won another talent. There are seven papers out of the five hundred, none of which have been opened, and it's all up to Your Majesty to decide!"

Lu Chengqi couldn't hold back anymore, he quickly took the stack of test papers, his hands trembling slightly, picked up the first paper, looked at the words "Jiayi" written on it, and thought: "I think this is the paper from Shengyuan I don't know which lucky guy is the winner?"

He glanced at the paper, and found that the shape of the characters was acceptable, and the essays and policy questions were written on Confucianism but not outside the law, all of which were in line with Lu Chengqi's intentions, and nodded slightly: "Wenqing has put his heart into it. I am very satisfied." After finishing speaking, he wanted to gently tear off the seal.
