Chapter 223: The Pain of Reading and the Soaring Literature

After this one passed, Yun Xi talked about the next one. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He said: "I want to improve the level of the medical officers of the Tai Hospital, what do you think? ”

Guo Zhen asked, "Your Majesty, why is this so?" What does this have to do with the distribution of lang in the guard? ”

Yun Xi said: "This has nothing to do with the Lang assigned by the guard, it is determined by me because of other things. ”

Then Yun Xi turned to several Wenchen who came out of the imperial examination and said: "Qi Qing, Lian Qing, Chen Qing, Zhuo Qing, Jing Qing, you are all from the imperial examination, you say, among the 10,000 scholars, how many can be admitted to the Jinshi?" ”

The five people looked at each other, and Qi Tai, who was the first to be named, said: "Your Majesty, the minister is from Lishui, Yingtianfu, and Your Majesty also knows." In the hometown of the minister, about every 10,000 scholars, there are two or three out of ten who can show talents, less than 100 people can be promoted, and less than 10 people can be promoted to the jinshi. ”

Lian Zining is a native of Xinfu in Xixi, and Zhuo Jingyi is from Ruian, and the situation is similar; Chen Xingshan is a native of Shanyin, and Jingqing is a native of Sanqin Zhenning (now Zhengning County), both of whom are from the north.

Chen Xingshan said: "Your Majesty, in the hometown of the minister, Xiucai may be easier to get into than in the south, about three or four out of ten, and there are more in the middle, but it is more difficult for the middle jinshi than in the south." ”

Yun Xi knows that now that the country was established at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there are few people, in fact, it is better to take the test, and when the population increases, it will be even more difficult to take the test.

So Yun Xi said: "Everyone also knows that the road to the imperial examination is very difficult, and only the most outstanding people, such as Qi Qing, Chen Qing and others, can become officials. ”

"The rest of the people who have been lifted are also squires, and they do not worry about eating and drinking; But even if you are a talented person, you can get one stone of rice from the county every month, which is not enough for your family; Not to mention that the poor Shouhao has been a child all his life. ”

"When I was inspecting the north, I once listened to a poem written by a person who most likely went to Beiping to pass the township examination during the meal, the word card "Mo Shangsang", word cloud:

There is a piece of paper soul gone, and the autumn wind has passed in an instant, and the old couple and the new servant are half of Lantang Peng Island. The rise and fall are different like others, and the Lingyun is a talented algae. Remembering the lamp, last night and the head of the red stamen, how much money to make.

Ashamed of Liu Rong's short strategy, Jiang Yan retreated, and half a hundred green shirts were in tears. Gui Lu is in his prime, but he is afraid that Chang'e will grow old. Qing Song, who can complain, cause trouble. At the beginning of the dream, the night rain outside the window was dawning. ”

The people present are all well-educated people, although they are all winners in life, but several people who have passed the imperial examination can also feel the feelings contained in this person's words.

Lian Zining immediately said: "Your Majesty, this word is brilliant, although the author has not been promoted, why doesn't Your Majesty specifically cite him as an official." "During the Hongwu period, there were many people who became officials in vain, which is not considered a violation of the rules.

Yun Xi was choked up, and he chanted this poem to show how unsatisfactory the people who have been unable to read are unsatisfactory, but he didn't expect Lian Zining to pay attention to the author.

Yun Xi thought for a moment before saying, "At that time, I wanted to ask, but they left immediately, and my guards were worried about danger, so they didn't chase them out. ”

Lian Zining said again: "Where is this person's accent? Why didn't Your Majesty order to find this man? ”

Yun Xi could only say: "This person is an accent in Yongping Mansion and Luanzhou, and I immediately issued an order to find this landed talent." ”

He said that Luanzhou, Yongping Mansion, Qi Tai, Lian Zining, Guo Zhen, who had followed the Northern Tour three years ago, all remembered one thing, why did Yunxi speak the dialect of that area? None of the guards around Yun Xi were born there, right?

However, they are not easy to ask directly, so they can only doubt in their hearts.

Yun Xi hurriedly turned the topic that had been taken back to the direction he wanted, and said: "And you have all read books, you know how difficult it is to read, if you want to get ahead in reading, you must bury your head in reading and dare not slack off for a moment, and it will be too late to learn to farm when you are thirty or forty years old." ”

"I am the Son of Heaven of all the people in the world, and I can't just care about these people who are officials. According to what I have seen, it is difficult for people to study other things, but it is okay to study medicine. In order to give the world's children and talents who can't study a chance to live, I want to promote medicine. ”

"Not only should the medical officers of the Tai Hospital be upgraded, but they should also vigorously promote 'if you are not a good minister, you are a good doctor', so that unambitious scholars are willing to practice medicine."

The scholars present listened to Yun Xi's explanation and understood Yun Xi's meaning. Isn't this what Zhao Song once advocated! None of the people present objected.

Qi Tai said: "How does Your Majesty want to improve the rank of medical officer? ”

Yun Xi said: "The court envoy and the court judge have all been promoted to the second level, the imperial doctor has been promoted to the seventh grade, and the official eye, the ambassador of the crude drug store, and the ambassador of the Huimin Pharmacy have been promoted to the ninth grade. ”

The increase is not huge, so those present have no objections.

At this time, the little eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the book of Jian Zhongshu and the book of reconciliation are here." ”

Yun Hee's order came in.

Xie Jin and Jian Yi walked in and saluted.

Yun Xi said: "No need to be polite. Then let the two of them sit down in the back.

Yun Xi continued the topic just now and said, "Since Zhu Qing has no objections, let's draw up a decree. ”

Xie Jin asked, "Your Majesty, what was you discussing just now?" ”

Huang Huai, another Chinese scholar on the side, explained to him in a few words.

Yun Xi suddenly paid some attention to this Zhongshu man named Huang Huai, and he was able to explain things clearly in a few words, which is also a kind of ability! This man deserves attention.

After listening to the explanation, Xie Jin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let the ministers draw up the decree." ”

Yun Xi knew that he had just entered the palace today and had the intention to show his talent, so he said, "Then Xie Qing will draft it." The eunuch on the side sent pen and ink.

Xie Jin thought for a moment and waved his pen. Then the crowd circulated it. Yun Xi just saw that it was indeed well written, but he couldn't say how it was good.

Lian Zining on the side had already applauded: "The text of the Chinese book is clear and brilliant, although it is a holy decree, it can be used as a model text for making texts." Others also praised it.

Xie Jin wanted to show his talent today, and said: "Your Majesty wants to mention 'If you are not a good minister, you are a good doctor', and the minister will write another article to say that your Majesty is a scholar in the world." Then he picked up his pen and began to write again.

Xie Jin's action is actually not very appropriate, the emperor just asked you to draw up the will, and did not agree with you to write the article, you started to write it yourself, if it weren't for Yun Xi knowing how capable Xie Jin was, he would probably put him in the cold palace.

After a while, Xie Jin finished writing, and everyone circulated it again. Although everyone doesn't like his habit of doing things very much, they also have to admire Xie Jin for being a person who enjoys a great name, and the article is really very good, so that people can understand and even accept the views of the article at once.

Yun Xi praised: "The text of the book is good, and it will definitely become a famous text of this dynasty." ”

He also said: "I want you to be the deputy editor-in-chief of "Taizu Records", are you willing? Waiting for the completion of the compilation of the "Taizu Record", the "Yuan History" will be revised, the "Ming Dynasty" will be compiled, and the Xie Zhongshu can be the editor-in-chief. ”

For a person like Xie Jin, who has a high IQ and low EQ, is not suitable to be sent out as an official of the Sixth Department, let him stay best here as an auxiliary officer and Zhongshu in the future, and take care of the compilation of books.

Xie Jin was overjoyed! Of course, he is willing to make a book, which is a matter that will be remembered in history. So he immediately knelt down and said, "The minister takes the order." ”

Then there was nothing to do, so Yun Xi let them go back, and he called the four children to continue to enlighten.
