Chapter 207: One Examination Determines Life
Compared with the laziness of later generations in the civil service examination, the Ming scholars who grew up under the imperial examination system have an amazing ability to understand the examination.
First of all, this kind of exam is not that difficult, but the exam time of one hour is still difficult for many people to handle, 120 minutes to process a hundred questions, and one question to be done in a minute.
In fact, according to the accurate calculation of later generations, the test takes two hours, that is, an hour, and fills in the answer sheet, wiping sweat or something, in fact, almost the requirement is to complete a question in 40 seconds, which is easy to do, can be answered in an instant, and some super difficult questions need to be carefully considered.
One hour or two hours, how to choose the amount of questions in the question bank, this is a technical problem, but for those who are good at analysis, for the original Ming Dynasty specialized in the study of exams, "teaching aids" book publishers, this is a big deal.
Hou Fangyu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he found that more and more people secretly went to those booksellers to buy books, even those who despised the northerners in their mouths began to study how to do the policy problem, isn't it just to read miscellaneous books, and the argument is similar to the strategy at a glance, and it is not impossible to learn.
But Hou Fangyu is different.
Of course, if the world is peaceful, he can naturally rely on the identity of the Donglin Party to do tricks and feet in the imperial examination.
Don't believe the rhetoric that in the cheap movies of later generations, what kind of scholars are poor and poor in rushing to take the exam, at least in the Ming and Qing dynasties, all the people who can go to the imperial capital to take the exam are lifters, the state gives travel expenses, and also gives preferential treatment, and those who get rid of it are all short and rich and ugly.
No matter who it is, anyone will scoff at the standards outside of their own ability, and Hou Fangyu immediately turned into an even more angry anti-imperialist after confirming that he would not be able to pass the practical test and the essay test in his lifetime.
After discovering that the pair of dog men and women actually arrived in Wu County, Suzhou, Hou Fangyu's ambition or tyrannical heart jumped suddenly, in terms of power comparison, he soon found that Li Xiangqian only carried a team of more than a dozen people, and they were all half-grown children, and Wu County, as the Ming Dynasty's economically developed, the main grain producing area, and the concentration of various craftsmen, that is to say, human resources are terrible.
Hou Fangyu immediately scraped together enough money, and wanted to gather local gangsters and hooligans to find a way to give Li Xiangqian an attack, but what he didn't expect was that Wu County, as the location of the government, was so afraid of things, in order to be afraid that Li Xiangqian and others would find an excuse to get angry, he actually began to expel the beggars and warned Qingpi not to approach people who offended the imperial capital.
Hou Fangyu scolded, but there was no way, since the incident in the imperial capital of Daming, the relationship between the various levels of government in Nanming has also become complicated and ambiguous, first of all, the higher-level government often has greater autonomy, but the ability to control the people below is also declining, everyone understands people, and they all know that one day is a day, and making money is.
And the evaluation work also began to be weird, originally after a few years of promotion, but for high-ranking officials, it is easy to become a feudal official, and there is no official position in the central government of the imperial capital to be promoted, so naturally I don't want to move.
But if they don't move their nests, their subordinates are naturally full of dissatisfaction, so they need to be appeased and struggled even more, except for some people who died of illness in office, others basically did not take the initiative to lay off.
Only the instrument and the name, not the dummy.
After losing the power endorsement of the imperial capital, that's it.
Hou Fangyu has no choice, he is a typical school of thought, that is, when he bragged to each other with fox friends and dog friends at the wine table, he really destroyed the warship with his mouth, and the map could open up the territory, but when it came to the real thing, he made a mistake in judgment and did things inappropriately.
He happened to go to visit the Wen family, and after the meeting, he also found out that Li Xiangqian was coming to visit, so he naturally attacked viciously and put an end to the matter.
Of course, in essence, it's still the one that fools others to do things.
But Li Xiangqian's approach made it very difficult for him to do, and countless Wu County gentry lamented that they couldn't seize such a good opportunity, they were all helpless, if they caught it, maybe it would be how many years of wealth and nobility, completely forgetting the previous Wen family's request for help, and the indifference of himself and others.
Hou Fangyu couldn't stay in the Wen family, and he refused to leave, and suddenly thought of something, as if someone said that there was their project in the north of Wuque Bridge? Hmph, you can seize the opportunity to watch its self-defeat, and see what conspiracy you have, I just went to expose it!
Wuque Bridge North is of course very busy.
It occupies a very large area, in the city of Wu County, where every inch of land is valuable, there can be such a big place, and naturally there is a reason, there is no official school next to the north of Wuque Bridge, and it is naturally impossible to open a brothel restaurant that attracts readers, and it is far away from the official office, too close to Qimen, but it is not suitable for business, Suzhou does business, first of all, it is to face Huzhou on the Taihu Lake, and then it is the trade route to the Yangtze River in the north, and it is inconvenient to Qimen as the northeast corner.
However, this place is still favored by Li Xiangqian, this person keeps muttering about the door of the East, so naturally he doesn't care if he buys it.
Fortunately, relying on the fierce reputation of the people from the imperial capital, and many people who want to run away with cash, it is not difficult to buy this piece of land, Li Xiangqian even envied the original landlords around him, and it was blessed to have a house next to the building chosen by the elders.
Wu Han ignored the heat at this time, and was directing countless strong men to demolish houses and level the land, and the reason why Li Xiangqian chose this place was that there were no places of interest and historic sites, and it was not too distressing to demolish it.
After demolishing the house, he was not in a hurry to start work, but deduced that the real "engineer" had not yet arrived, but the hired man did not say much, but began to work all the way at a trot, the reason is very simple, Wu Han gave a heavy reward, three days, if you can tear down the buildings on this land within three days, and dig up the land levelly, then you will be given twice the commission, and if it is overdue, it will not be given!
And his family also went into battle, Li Xiangqian said a lot about the better the people who help you do things, the more words you get, the dumb mother-in-law and his brother's family began to be busy cooking for the workers and boiling mung bean soup, so naturally the morale was slightly higher.
Hou Fangyu looked at this dusty scene, but he was secretly furious, slandering uneducated people is so vulgar, making this place a miasma, where can he compare to a boy like him, who is leisurely and happy?
However, he soon found Wu Han, who was commanding on the spot and occasionally boosting morale, looking at his expression of doing his best to do things for northerners, he completely forgot the fact that he was also a northerner, and secretly scolded, "Traitor!" ”
Of course, there are Han people on both sides, and it seems that this scolding is a bit unreasonable.
Of course, the void and the snake, for the time being, take the opportunity to find their faults, and then kill them all, and then those dead bodies everywhere must be the most beautiful scenery in the world.
For a son-in-law like Hou Fangyu, who has been an official for generations, the lower-level civilians who died are not people, if the lower-level civilians are not willing to raise him up to be a big man, then wouldn't it be good that all of them are dead?
"This one, I don't know what big things you are going to do here, it's making the neighbors uneasy."
Wu Han's mentality at this time completely changed.
Li Xiangqian helped him analyze it before, and bluntly said that it was not so difficult for him to help Wu Han dredge a local official, but Wu Han knew his own affairs, so he didn't move this idea, but chose a business route.
This business route is a big deal, as an agent, he doesn't have to worry about the little profit that Liu Du makes from women, the real big head is still to be the upstream, to be the indispensable upper class.
Therefore, even if he was still wearing the humble clothes of a Xu official, he actually dared to talk to a prince like Hou Fangyu without being humble or arrogant.
If there is a figure whose position is equivalent to that of the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, and how much good he promises you, anyone will start to stand up with their own spirits.
"Ah, it's okay, we are doing a big work here, and after the work is completed, but it is a rare landmark building in Suzhou in a century, and it is not so simple."
Hou Fangyu asked: "This is the period of national mourning, it is not good to build a large number of buildings, work the people and lose money, we should give priority to quiet, and be sympathetic to the people, right?" ”
Wu Han looked at this person strangely, another nerd, according to his brother-in-law, most of the workers he chose were landless farmers and unemployed people in Wu County, Suzhou, and this also had the idea of cashing in for work to appease the people.
My brother-in-law told a story about a ruler of Egypt in the far west, who gave relief to the people after a flood in his country, but he was afraid that the people would have nothing to do, so he thought of using the money from the food crops to ask the people to build a great building called a pyramid.
Compared with hypocritically saying cool things, or swearing to praise the sedan chair, a shameless tool that uses people as a power animal, Li Xiangqian's approach can still be recognized.
"You don't have to worry about it, and it doesn't cost you money."
Hou Fangyu was furious, another thief who served the people of the imperial capital after taking the money, why can't the people of the world wake up early, only by surviving around a scholar like Hou Fangyu and contributing all his wealth to him, can he ensure the safety of one party and have a peaceful and prosperous world.
"The money you spend is the people's fat and people's ointment looted by the imperial capital, it is the money of the people of the world, not your own, if you do the opposite, believe it or not, I will sue the government and confiscate your silver!"
Wu Han began to think that this scholar was crazy.
Who doesn't know that in the current Wu County, officials big and small dare not have any thoughts of disobeying the imperial capital?
What Li Xiangqian enjoyed in advance was the power of foreign devils with extraterritorial jurisdiction in later generations.
The problem of the imperial capital is still those few problems, strategic choices, and those children.
Australia has made a decision not to allow Han Chinese immigrants to marry the locals, and the men who are really hungry can do it themselves, and the promised Vietnamese beauties are of course still on the way, but how to deal with the mixed race that has been born is really difficult.
Later generations of feminists described their self-despised behavior as love, the right to freedom of the flesh, etc., and they glorified the children born after those foreigners lifted their pants and ran, mixed race is beautiful and smart, it is simply ridiculous, mixed race has nothing to do with the level of race, only has something to do with choice.
But this choice, in the face of this situation, can only be discussed slowly.
Then there are some discordant voices about North Korea.
The Korean Peninsula has always been one of the most complex regions in East Asia and the Far East, and in modern times, the forces of China, Japan, and North Korea, as well as Russia, the United States, and other countries have been entangled in the Korean Peninsula.
Moreover, the Korean Peninsula has been the gateway to Northeast China since ancient times, and it is also one of the springboards for hostile forces to attack China from the sea, and it is the main battlefield for China and Japan to compete for dominance in East Asia.
Not to mention anything else, the founding of China, first fighting North Korea, and then Vietnam, is almost becoming a habit of being written into the national genealogy.
Although Li Xiangqian did not mainly study strategy, he can be sure from summing up experience only from history that once the power of the Presbyterian Church is unfolded, the first thing to do in Asia is two things: first, we must not let the Korean Peninsula get out of our control, and second, we must firmly suppress and control Japan!
In addition to the national sentiment factors in the old time and space, from a geostrategic point of view, it is impossible for China and Japan to stand side by side in the Far East, and can only be dominated by one side, and if China wants to rise again, it must suppress Japan, and if Japan wants to become a great power, it can only step on China's upper position. So to help South Korea in this time and space get out of the control of Japan and become an independent country, as long as the elders have the strength to catch it, it will definitely be done, of course, the node control of the Korean Peninsula is naturally more important.
For North Korea, the elders' initial focus was on food.
The damage that the elders can do is staggering, and the loss of population in South Korea is also staggering, except for a large number of women who can be taken away because of their reproductive functions, there are not many South Koreans who can survive.
However, this is not a reason.
This kind of misery, but some people think, should we end this kind of suppression and let the North Korean locals begin to integrate into the big family of the motherland?
These things are naturally major events, and they also involve the policy toward Japan, and the fact that the Korean Peninsula has been very quiet in the past two years naturally makes people lose their sense of vigilance.
When all eyes are on Vietnam, and after gaining Vietnam's support point in the future, and seeing that the entire Indochina Peninsula can be reached, and the iron ore mines, which have not been developed on a large scale for thousands of years, will also be in hand, many issues seem unimportant.
