When Song Mu saw this, he just slapped his mouth a few times without saying anything else.
Others didn't react too much to me. Even if I sighed a little, I shouldn't do anything about it.
Putting these distracting thoughts out of his mind, Song Mu immediately continued to arrange the examination room. When everything was in place, Zhang Yiqi also came over and returned the broom.
"Thank you very much, Brother Song, for your broom. I also wish Brother Song a successful start today."
Zhang Yiqi said calmly, with a gentle smile on his face. Matched with his dark face, he had an indescribable honesty and honesty.
Song Mu quickly took it and said with a smile.
"Brother Zhang is welcome. Song Mu also wishes Brother Zhang the best today."
The two looked at each other and smiled, without much exchange, and both went back to the examination room.
However, the two people's exam rooms are right next to each other, so even though they are separated by a wall, some of the movements coming from the two people's exam rooms are very clear.
Song Mu had just sat down and had some snacks, waiting for the examiner to start announcing the exam, when Zhang Yiqi's voice came from next to him.
"Brother Song, I heard that you have written several talented poems before. Can you make another one this time?"
Zhang Yiqi, who was next door, suddenly said this. Song Mu was stunned, but the other party seemed to feel that what he said was a bit reckless, so he quickly added.
"What I mean is that Zhang heard someone talk about the scene where Brother Song was writing poetry that day. He really yearned for it. Today is such a coincidence that I really want to be there and experience it."
When Song Mu heard this, he slapped his thirsty mouth a few times, with a half-smiling smile on his face.
It turned out that the other party recognized him, and it seemed that he had left a deep impression on him.
After hearing what the other party said, Song Mu grinned and then said politely.
"I don't dare to take it seriously, Brother Zhang. Your strategy is equally strong. Song will also want to pay homage to it when the time comes, but Song has a small request."
"If you want to tempt Wenxing today, can you say something first so that I can stop writing and calm down."
Just as Song Mu finished speaking, he could hear a soft silly laugh coming from the other side. Apparently, these words made Zhang Yiqi a little happy.
Immediately there was a response from the other side.
"Brother Song, let's work together and see you again after the exam."
Song Mu threw the last piece of snack in his hand into his mouth and nodded in reply.
"good."
Not long after, people came in one after another inside the examination room. After the sound of drums, groups of soldiers walked in. Just like the situation yesterday, they stood in front of each examination room and stared at each one. Candidates in the examination room.
The North Tower shouted again, and the priest took the copper box and climbed onto the altar again, and then opened the copper box on the altar, and the ordinary literary star was suspended above it.
"The second session of the college exam begins!"
As a loud voice sounded, clerks in each circle began to hand out questions.
Song Mu quickly got the question, spread it out and took a look, but immediately frowned.
I only saw that the requirements for poems and songs are one poem and one poem, regardless of genre, but they are required to praise heroes.
The genre of chanting people is not uncommon, but this song praises the hero. Who should be considered a hero? Song Mu was scratching his head at the moment.
On another Zhang Ce theory paper, there was a current political issue.
"Southern Xinjiang has been a place where barbarians and demons have been raging since ancient times. The sky is covered with danger and the government orders are blocked. The barbarians join hands with the demons to cause trouble, and there is not much suppression everywhere. What should we do?"
A question about border management was raised, but Song Mu felt a little happy after reading it.
I have some feelings about this kind of topic.
In this world, the barbarians in southern Xinjiang are actually like the chieftains of the Ming Dynasty.
The communities in these areas have never been governed by secular rules. They follow the ancestral system more and enclose the land as the king. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so no one is willing to obey any government orders.
Song Mu knew that the current governance of southern Xinjiang was presided over by Tao Shengzai, the number one scholar thirty years ago, but now it could only maintain stability, and there would be unrest from time to time.
The Wen Dynasty had nine million frontier troops, and Southern Xinjiang accounted for one million of them.
Even though the imperial court allocates a large amount of silver every year and dispatches heavy troops and countless literati to guard the border, this place is still a troublesome place.
The content of this examination question can be said to be a headache for all the civil and military officials of the dynasty, but they did not expect that the Crown Prince and the Young Master would put it on such a public surface and use it as a question for the academy examination.
Song Mu didn't have any guesses about this arrangement, so he started to draft the plan.
At the same time, in the north building, more officials came here to observe today.
Qiu Buchu, the prefect of Jizhou Prefecture, also came here, and brought with him a handsome and mature man who stood out from the crowd.
"I heard that Song Mu actually wrote an article about Wen Xing's Five Movements yesterday? But I couldn't see it. It's a pity. What a pity."
As soon as Qiu Buchu came to the north building, he looked at the disc-shaped examination rooms in the examination room from the window, and he sighed with emotion at the same time, his long and thin face full of emotion.
Fan Xuezheng next to him also stroked his beard and smiled lightly, but looked at the people around Qiu Buchu.
"Brother Yongfang, it's not too late to come here today. Today's test is on policy theory and poetry and poetry. I heard that Song Mu's strengths are still there."
Qiu Buchu became interested when he heard what Fan Xuezheng said.
"This actually makes me look forward to it. The article he wrote, "Luanye County, Shiyang County, Learns and Reminisces about the Past" is now famous in the capital. I heard that His Majesty has already read this article, so I asked the scholar to write a comment. .”
When the surrounding priests heard what the magistrate said, they all looked at each other in shock.
It turns out that this is His Majesty's will. Does that mean...
"I heard that His Majesty also gave a reward, so I went to prepare it, Sir, but I don't know what good thing it is."
Qiu Buchu mentioned this, and everyone was even more flattered, thinking of the emperor who was calm and powerful in Chang'an Imperial City.
However, it is reasonable to say this. After all, it is a poem of great talent. The last time a poem of this level appeared was ten years ago.
When Qiu Buchu said this, there was a bit of appreciation in his eyes, and he looked at the person next to him while stroking his beard.
"If he can make a big splash this time, I won't be reluctant to add a little bit of glory to him. Mr. Fengming, what do you think?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at a man in green robe under the screen on one side of the attic. He was tall and thin, with messy hair tied up with a jade knot. His face looked a little miserable, and his dark circles were emphasized. He looked decadent and lazy.
If you don't pay attention, it's easy to ignore his existence, but once you notice it, you feel that there is a gentle feeling extending under this sloppy appearance.
Everyone was a little confused and speculated who this Mr. Fengming was, while Fan Xuezheng next to him also smiled and said nothing.
“A gentleman does not use words to lift people up, nor does he use people to trash talk.”
The lazy and hoarse voice came, and everyone was even more confused, but Qiu Buchu laughed twice.
…
In the examination room, Song Mu had been thinking about the question in his hand for a moment, and finally a smile slowly appeared on his face, and he carefully put down the brush in his hand.
Song Mu spread out an answer sheet and wrote his name, place of origin, and the name of the guarantor on it, and then he finally moved to the middle and put pen to paper.
"Strategy to Control Southern Xinjiang"
Song Mu chose to write the strategy first.
"Since Taizu, after years of battles, the vast territory of southern Xinjiang has entered the Wen Dynasty. The world has been unified, and the world is stable..."
"However, political communication is first and then harmony. The southern border is very steep, with chariots and horses unable to reach it, broken walls and cliffs, and often a place that is out of the ordinary. Some people think that if we govern the southern border, the first is the access road, and the second is the trade."
Song Mu gently put down the pen, but he had already prepared a draft in his mind. He had seen the theme of this policy review in other books. Although "Tianwenjian" only analyzed the current situation and did not provide a solution, it was enough. Song Mu first presented the facts and then explained his own reasoning.
The most important thing in managing such a remote place is to allow worldly things to fully penetrate.
If there is a road first, government orders can be reached, and all the worldly affairs of the world can be introduced. The mountain people will no longer be isolated from the world and can understand the current changes.
The most direct purpose of this item is to directly strengthen control over southern Xinjiang. With the most convenient way, troops can be deployed more quickly to suppress all possible unrest.
In addition, the roads can also benefit the people there. If the tribes have more exchanges with each other, their minds will not be closed off, and economic and cultural exchanges will be frequent.
After access, there is trade.
The purpose of trade is even more simple and clear. It uses the most direct means to bring the people of these tribes into contact with the people of the Wen Dynasty. With intersection and contact, the economic and culture between each other can be continuously integrated.
Not only that, after accepting the advanced productive forces and commodities brought by the Han people, these people will gradually become dependent as they gain convenience.
And in this way, we have further entered the road of integration.
The mountain people can exchange mountain goods for external goods, and at the same time, it becomes easier to win over the mountain people among them by using economic means.
Song Mu paused as he wrote here.
Some of the thoughts I had in the past have come to mind now, but these methods seem a bit cruel and may bring some bad things.
But after just thinking for a moment, Song Mu sighed, but continued to write.
I am just a little scholar.
The articles written by scholars only express their own opinions. How can they be sure to be appreciated by adults and be regarded as a guideline and used immediately?
So Song Mu began to seriously present the facts and reason.
