"After we have obtained some materials from the capital divisions of Shanxi and Shaanxi, the Xingdu Division, the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, it is proved that at present, in the nine border areas except for Liaodong, most of the border land reclamation has become unsustainable, and the time factor is the main one. This is supported by some relevant newspapers, and it is by no means our presumption,......"

Xu began to make concluding remarks.

"......, then let's talk about how to deal with the problems and dilemmas faced by Kaizhong and France, that is to say, how to solve the problem of military rations and even logistics support on the nine sides, we have some ideas, but we are limited to our own limited level, and we do not have much internal information, so we can only have a general strategy, first, to recover the Hetao, to take the initiative strategic offensive to contain the Tatar threat to our northern border wall, once we occupy the Hetao area, then we are like a sharp knife on the back of the Tatars, It can greatly reduce the pressure on Taiyuan, Datong and even Xuanfu,......"

This is an active offensive strategy proposed by Feng Ziying, and of course, Feng Ziying also made it clear that it is difficult to really implement this strategy under the premise that Da Zhou's financial and food supply capacity has not been substantially improved.

"Second, completely change the grain transportation system of Kaizhong and France, and support a group of private merchants to be responsible for transportation by the imperial court, and establish this military food guarantee mechanism in accordance with the model of quantitative timing and fixed points and determining profits, we believe that as long as it is profitable, businessmen will be willing to do it, not in what way to adopt, and if the complex procedure of collection and storage is abandoned, it is just simple transportation, as long as it is supplemented by corresponding regulations, with the maturity of the mode of operation, it is possible to achieve a significant reduction in transportation costs,......

"......, Third ,......"

Seeing Xu Zheng pointing at the country on the stage and scolding Fang Xuan, Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi were both gloomy and didn't say a word, and even the students brought by the two behind them were originally excited and eager to try, but seeing that the two elders were in a bad mood, they could only quietly rein in.

"......, the lack of food in the north is a chronic disease for hundreds of years, but from the Ministry of Industry and some places in Fujian, Shandong and Guangdong, some new crops have been transmitted from abroad, although the taste may not be suitable for our people in the Great Zhou, but between starvation and full-stomached, we think that this taste is not a problem, no matter how bad it is, it is better than the bark and grass roots Guanyin soil, right? If it can be promoted in the north or even in the nine sides, then the transportation cost can be greatly reduced,......"

To be honest, these ideas are quite superficial, or full of some unrealistic descriptions, many of which are stuck in outlines, and if they are to be implemented, they are either not feasible, or they need to be constantly modified, adjusted and run-in, but you must know that this is a group of young students who have not really come into contact with the affairs of the court.

The eldest is only in his early twenties, and the younger one is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he can actually guide the country like this, which can't help but make all the groups in the audience have mixed feelings, especially those idle officials of the six departments.

With rounds of applause and cheers, the first round of debate finally ended with the final arguments and entered the stage of referee evaluation and scoring.

But for Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi, this is simply like sitting on pins and needles.

Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen both noticed the restless expressions of the two, but this was exactly what they wanted.

Qi Yongtai and Wang Yongguang both smiled and gave both sides a very high evaluation, and the final winner was the West Park team.

They started from the specific reasons for the current predicament of Kaizhongfa and looked for improvements and alternative means to break the positive side, so that all the previous preparations made by the Dongyuan team could not come in handy.

The shock was not only Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi, but also Gu Bingqian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and some other officials from the six ministries.

They don't see things from the same perspective as the students.

The students were amazed by this wonderful and intense way, and they had to consider the problem from such a way of explanatory exposition of current policy theory.

Close to the point, hit the nail on the head, and then be able to show all the advantages and disadvantages of the respective views of both sides, which is enough to give everyone a glimpse of the whole picture.

Although the views of these students are still relatively superficial, and even many of them are unrealistic, or they do not understand some of the operation and rules of the internal policies and systems of the imperial court, it is indeed the most intuitive and close way, and it can also cultivate students' interest in current affairs and their ability to interpret and deal with current affairs.

Maybe they haven't figured it out yet, but as time goes by, Qingtan Academy's various initiatives will make them realize that some changes seem to be underway.

When the second question was drawn out, Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi finally couldn't sit still.

The second question is on the merits and feasibility of the strategy of recovering the Loop.

Although this question has nothing to do with Jiangnan Shilin, it is undoubtedly more pertinent, and this question has also caused countless controversies within the imperial court in the past ten years.

Needless to say, the strategic significance of the Hetao region can be said, but whether it can be recovered, whether it has the ability to recover, whether it can be defended after recovery, how to solve the logistical support supply, and how to deal with the relationship with the Tatars have all been quarreled countless times by the cabinet and the Ministry of War, as well as the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army and the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division.

I didn't expect this question to appear in the question bank of Qingtan Academy this time, and it was actually drawn out.

There is no doubt that this will be another fierce debate.

Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi both realized that they couldn't sit stupidly like this anymore, which was almost their endorsement of Qingtan Academy again, or at least fueled their momentum, and this was exactly what they opposed.

Seeing Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi get up, Qi Yongtai ignored it, and naturally there was an official Ying Zhen who accompanied him.

Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi were able to hold on until the end of the first debate, which was already very surprising to Qi Yongtai, and if it was him, it was estimated that he would have to leave the venue in less than half the time.

This is obviously a path that is incompatible with Jiangnan Academy, it is far from the same, the road is different, how can it be possible to stay here to cheer for the opponent?

This has nothing to do with the overall situation, although it has also attracted the attention of some students and officials in the front row, but Qi Yongtai has controlled the rhythm very well.

He hung a large map of the loop on the podium, which was sketchy but basically easy to see at a glance.

This year, the map is a new thing, not to mention the average student, even the average official is rarely contacted, although this map is rough, but the thick lines can also explain a lot of problems, especially the Yellow River in the shape of a few characters is even more impressive.

Qi Yongtai personally gave an introduction to the current situation of the Hetao and some of the strategies of the previous dynasty in this area, which immediately attracted the attention of the vast majority of people.

Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi actually knew that Qingtan Academy's use of the Hetao strategy, which had been disputed for decades, as a debate topic was purely a gimmick, just to arouse the interest and attention of the students, but you have to admit that they are very clever.

Looking at the students' engrossed appearance, few people noticed the departure of a few of them, and even a few of their disciples frequently looked back to listen to Qi Yongtai's introduction and the next round of debate.

"Dongxian, you are sacrificing the basics and misleading people's children." Miao Changqi walked out of the venue and said to the other party angrily.

"Oh, why did my brother say that at that time?" Guan Ying was shocked for a moment and responded with a smile: "This is just a debate, how did it rise to such a height?" Doesn't Jiangnan Academy debate? I think there's a lot of debate over there. ”

"Dongxian, you don't care about him, you know our intentions, you are doing this to grandstand, it is not beneficial to the country, and it is even more harmful to the students, the foundation of students' learning is still in the scriptures, this cannot be changed!" Zhu Guozhen's expression was much more solemn, and he looked directly at Guan Yingzhen.

Guan Yingzhen knew that this was the time for a showdown, and Qi Yongtai had already discussed it with him.

This principle cannot be allowed, the showdown is inevitable, but the other party may not be monolithic, like Miao Changqi and Zhu Guozhen may not have their own minds.

"Brother Wen Yu, at that time, the foolish brother knows what you mean, but you have to see the general trend of the imperial court's reform of the scientific examination, and the foundation of the scriptures and righteousness will not change, we actually understand this, but to change in form and content, especially in the content, the weight of the policy theory is heavier is the trend of the times, if we want to move against the trend, I am afraid that it is ourselves who will suffer, as far as the foolish brother knows, Tonghui Academy They have long made a fuss about the current policy theory, they have a close relationship with the Ministry of War, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and even the Long Forbidden Lieutenant, and they have obtained more news, In the same way, we are increasing the teaching of current policy theory, but we are advancing it in such a way, so that you are a little uncomfortable for a while. ，……”

Zhu Guozhen took a deep breath, he knew that what the other party said was true.

Tonghui Academy has always been the best place for the children of Weizhen to study, and the military department and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies also take the most care of Tonghui Academy, and even the outstanding children of the officers of Weizhen in the south must choose Tonghui Academy if they want to study, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies will also give some support, plus the support of Long Banwei, so it is normal for them to be in the front in this regard.

"Lack of erection and conspiracy!" Miao Changqi took a few disciples and walked away.

"Dongxian, in your opinion, this can't be changed?" Zhu Guozhen was not so impulsive, he asked with a cold face.

"Brother Wenyu, it's just one or two subjects, and the foolish brother knows that Chongwen Academy and the White Horse Academy are still a little different, you should be more knowledgeable than at that time, he is a person who has two years, and it is still too late, and the foolish brother thinks that the emperor may not change too much in the next subject, because the first year of Yonglong and this year's autumn and spring emperor have already shown a gesture, and he also needs to slowly calm down some dissatisfied opinions."

Guan Yingzhen's words made Zhu Guozhen move slightly.

What they are most worried about is that the next subject will continue to change greatly, then the Jiangnan side will suffer too much, if the lower department basically continues the autumn of the first year of Yonglong and the second year of Yonglong, that is, this year's spring pattern, then although it is also very uncomfortable, but it is not unacceptable, especially Chongwen Academy has been adjusted under its own arrangement.

"Dongxian, so you will take a big advantage." Zhu Guozhen exhaled a breath of turbid air and said sullenly.

"Brother Wen Yu, your Jiangnan Academy has taken advantage of it for decades, and we can only watch it, and now you take advantage of so many subjects, you all feel uncomfortable?" Guan Yingzhen shook his head, "What's more, with your foundation, after the last two or three subjects, you will be able to catch up." ”

Guan Yingzhen couldn't help it, but Zhu Guozhen had this confidence, the literary style of Jiangnan is not comparable to that of the north, there are too many readers, far better than the north, and there are naturally more reading seeds selected.

When Zhu Guozhen said goodbye and left, Guan Yingzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

This major event has been decided, as long as Zhu Guozhen has a different heart, it will be difficult for Jiangnan Academy to work together, then the resistance to the lower imperial examination will not be too strong, and the promotion of the imperial court will not change, so the Qingtan Academy of the lower branch can show its talents.
