This phenomenon cannot be said to mean that students are all utilitarian.
In the final analysis, the palace examination still requires the prince to ask a few questions, and then the new scholars below will come up with a serious political paper based on these questions.
In the first imperial examination of the Crown Prince, the question was very direct, about his views on the current situation in Daqian.
And the next few palace examinations were the same.
Nowadays, the world is peaceful and there is no war, so there will be no question about war.
Regardless of the war.
what?
Then look at the most controversial topics in recent issues of Di Bao.
What kind of military merit is awarded to the fields?
What a young man doing something big.
Or it could be tax law reform.
There are actually many things you can ask.
Now, it is rumored that His Highness the Crown Prince has begun to read books on water control strategies, so naturally he may have to ask about water control strategies.
Naturally, students have to cram their time and take extra classes as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if it really comes to the palace examination.
Wait until His Highness the Prince has finished asking.
When you stand up to answer the question, say: "Me too."
Wouldn't it be embarrassing?
In this palace examination, the one who impressed the students deeply was Ouyang Xiu.
The reason why this person was able to become the Supervisor of the Secretary's Residence and Reporting Department was because he breathed fire during the palace examination.
Even His Highness the Crown Prince sitting on the throne has made ten major mistakes.
Not only that, among the six ministries and nine ministers, there is not a single person whose moral conduct is like that of a gentleman.
to be honest.
A palace examination directly offended everyone from the prince of the prison country to the six ministers and nine ministers.
If he hadn't been spitting fire, with Ouyang Xiu's talent, he would definitely have ranked first in the palace examination that year.
As a result, he is now just a supervisor of the Di newspaper department.
Of course, Ouyang Xiu is really upright, and his management of the Di newspaper is lifelike and remarkable.
A spring festival also allowed people in the capital to travel around, water transportation was accessible, takeaway trucks shuttled north and south of Zhouqiao, and scholars from outside the Tianjie gathered, and it turned out to be a state of cultural prosperity.
Especially within the Zhuque Gate in the inner city, south of Xiangguo Temple, with Hongwen Hall and Imperial College as the core areas, and surrounding restaurants and shops, you can hear the discussions of Tai students without even entering.
On Zhuque Street, near the West Market, there was a small restaurant with several students sitting inside.
Sitting on the east side, wearing a Confucian robe, about 20 years old, with a handsome face and a clear voice, he said: "You guys say it's funny or not. There are people who clearly have the "Book of Rivers and Canals" in their hands, but they refuse to discuss the Yellow River. Regarding governance issues, I don’t know if I am afraid that others will learn from my insights.”
"It is said that the truth becomes clearer with more arguments. There are thousands of ways to control water, and everyone has different opinions."
"If we talk about a better water control strategy, even if it is copied by others, then I am willing to do so."
"Perhaps, after he learns it, he will really be able to come up with better strategies."
"It's like keeping it in his heart like a treasure. It's just his one-sided thinking. If he has such selfish motives, it's probably not a good idea."
The Confucian scholar sitting on the north side nodded in agreement and said: "Brother Song Rui is right. Water control has been a major matter for the country since ancient times. If you have an idea and can implement it, let alone a good ranking and be awarded an official, I'm afraid your name will be left in the history books. Prince Your Highness will not be stingy with rewards. But if you stick to your limitations and work behind closed doors without believing that you can achieve anything, don't become a laughing stock because it is too ridiculous."
This kind of imagination is of course completely normal.
Talk.
Everyone wants to be the top pick.
Whether it is the number one scholar in literature or the number one scholar in martial arts, it is something that can bring glory to one's family.
Not to mention becoming the top pick.
Even to ensure that you won't fail, that's extremely important.
It was normal for someone to cover her up so that she wouldn't be speechless during the palace examination.
But.
Broad-minded students, or some students who are completely clueless and need to hear other people's water control strategies, really can't stand it.
The student sitting on the east side continued: "You are all close friends of XX, and you are all dedicated to serving the country, so XX should start by offering some advice."
"After all, there are still many talented people in this year's Spring Festival. Among the five of us, there is no doubt that there are still people who will not be able to enter the palace examination."
"Then just say what you have learned in your heart. If someone is a great talent and enters the palace examination, he can also mention what others have said, and he can be considered as contributing to the country."
His words were also praised by the students present.
Those who can sit here are naturally like-minded people.
The voice of the student on the east side became more serious and deep, and said: "A certain family is in Luling, Jiangxi. Although it is a bit far away from the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia, they have seen how severe the impact of floods is."
"I remember one year, there were heavy rains in Jiangnan Road, and Luling was also deeply affected. Floods came suddenly, and a village was washed away."
"This is nothing. It will be the real disaster after the flood."
"There is no harvest, corpses are everywhere, and plague has appeared. How many people have been displaced and separated from their wives and children because of this."
"Today, the prince who supervises the country is civilized and governed by martial arts, and he is calming down the outside world and bringing peace to the world."
"After Southeast asked for political advice, it immediately proposed to control floods in the two rivers, and thus formulated several national policies."
"The method of water control is considered to be the best strategy nowadays."
"But what the Prince of the Supervisory State sets is a national policy, so it must be a general strategy, and when implemented in various places, it actually has to be based on local conditions."
"So, I feel that if you want to come up with some good ideas this time, you don't have to think in a general direction."
“Methods of restricting water to attack sand, reducing water dams, and sluices, etc., have all been proposed.”
"There are so many capable officials in the imperial court, and there is also Chen Huanggong, an expert in flood control. How do we compare with them?"
"Of course it can't be compared."
"But if His Highness the Crown Prince asks about it during the palace examination, wouldn't we just be speechless and unable to come up with a good idea?"
"So, I have found a new way and thought I could start from somewhere."
"The two rivers are divided into upper reaches, middle upper reaches, middle reaches, middle lower reaches and lower reaches."
"And where are the most flood-prone places?"
“Naturally it’s the middle reaches, middle and lower reaches.”
"That's Kaifeng..."
have to say.
This student also has a talent for governing the world.
The broadness of his thoughts is similar to that of some ministers above the court, and it can even be said that he directly surpasses several of them.
Daqian's current flood control strategy was indeed proposed by Xiao Yi based on some memories from his previous life and the methods he saw in his previous life. At the same time, he also added Chen Huang, an expert in water control.
This also determines the general direction of flood control strategies.
However, these water control strategies must be implemented at the local level, and are also related to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works.
At the same time, it also involves all aspects of food, money, manpower, material resources, local management, local governance, etc.
In fact, there is so much to say and to say.
All of a sudden.
It can be regarded as completely opening up the minds of the other four students sitting here.
I just feel that this friend is really worth making.
Looking at the strategies I came up with, they were really worthless in front of Brother Song Rui.
In this spring's imperial examination, Brother Song Rui will definitely become the number one scholar in Da Qian.
This guy is really talkative.
From water control strategies to local people's livelihood, from reservoir construction to local immigration, from immigration to design to people's livelihood issues and local development, suggestions for urbanization were put forward.
That is to say, taking advantage of the opportunity of immigration, these villagers who were originally in the countryside were moved directly to the surrounding areas of the county to support the county.
At the same time, if the northern land is not suitable for farming, then they will migrate to the southern mountain road, which is the land of Jingchu.
There is a very large plain here, which can be used to open up wasteland and grow more food.
It is better to guard the land of Jingchu than guarding the sandy land in the northwest.
