Wu State, Jinling City.

The atmosphere of the imperial examination became more and more intense, and polite students gathered in this majestic capital city one after another, waiting for the start of the first imperial examination of Wu State.

The previous examination was only a preliminary examination, an examination in which candidates were selected from among the candidates for the imperial examination.

The first imperial examination, in principle, was an experimental imperial examination that combined filial piety and honesty with the imperial examination, so the previous examination was not listed as a failure in the imperial examination.

The real imperial examination is in September, this is the real competition between students, and students with imperial examination quotas began to arrive one after another, one by one, wanting to show their strengths.

In this atmosphere, whether they participated in the imperial examination or did not participate in the imperial examination, more and more scholars entered Jinling City, looking forward to this imperial examination that attracted national attention.

Scholars are the main trend in the world today, there are more readers, the economic development of Jinling City has also flourished by three points, there is an atmosphere of exports, and the quality of the capital of Wu has been improved a lot.

Wangcheng, the Imperial Study.

Wu Wang Sun Quan is now completely letting go of Cai Yong and Kuai Liang for the imperial examination, in addition to worrying about the war of merging states, he is now preparing for the attendance work of the Ministry of Officials.

The attendance of the first year of the Ministry of Officials was originally eye-catching, and Gu Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and even the Yushitai pulled in, and the merits of the attendance plus the officials who were impeached and filed by the Yushitai, above the county order, were dismissed, and there were nearly hundreds of people.

Now this incident has caused a lot of agitation in the government and the opposition.

"Uncle Junli, Gu Shangshu, you have to work this matter, and complete the attendance as soon as possible before the end of the year!"

Sun Quan looked at the two of them and said, "The matter of the ministry, the addition of the Yushitai." It has aroused the emotions of many officials, we must fight fast and slow, and we don't want to be alone, this has become an officialdom storm! ”

"Wait for you to understand!" The two nodded.

"Zhang Yushi, your Yushitai's methods are a bit powerful!" Sun Quan squinted. Looking at An Ran standing beside him, the cold-faced god who was casual said in a low voice.

"King, Yushitai does things, and the most evidence-oriented!" Zhang Hong said indifferently.

"If you want to stand up, don't look for this opportunity, aren't you deliberately blocking Lonely?" Sun Quan patted his forehead.

"The king, the Imperial Historical Observatory supervises the hundred officials of the Great Wu, and the means are a little sharper. It's terrifying! Zhang Hong pondered for a moment and added calmly.

"Lone is talking about timing!"

Sun Quan said angrily: "You want to be powerful, Lone has no opinion, but can you wait for the storm of the Ministry to pass, all things are added together, you plan to trouble Lone early, right?" ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Zhang Hong is salt and oil, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Yes!"

Sun Quan was a little helpless, this Yushitai wanted to be powerful. He couldn't stop it, he suggested that Gu Yong bring Yu Shitai in. Now that people are frequent, let them quit now, which is a little unkind.

"Yuan sigh, you really found a good helper!" Sun Quan gritted his teeth.

"Huh!"

Gu Yong smiled, quickly changed the topic, and said, "King." For the positions of the officials who have been cut, the Ministry of Officials has preliminarily agreed on some supplementary places, but they have been opposed by the cabinet, and this matter has to be respectfully judged by the king himself! ”

"The cabinet is against it, Uncle Junli. Why is that? ”

Hearing this, Sun Quan glanced at Zhu Zhi and asked.

"King, the reason why the cabinet opposes the list of officials is that Shoufu thinks that the officials said that these people submitted are too inexperienced and really inappropriate!"

Zhu Zhi said with a wry smile.

"Yuan sigh?" Sun Quan frowned, turned his head, and looked at Gu Yong.

"The king, Weichen is helpless, the people who are promoted by the officials are basically from Jiangdong Academy and Jinling Academy, and they have all gone through internships!" Gu Yong said in a deep voice.

"But their internship is up to three months, and according to the rules, they can't be filial piety!" Zhu Zhi added: "Lack of experience, take on a heavy responsibility!" ”

"Zhu Cifu, your cabinet is really unreasonable, if we have other candidates, we won't be in such a hurry, you have the ability to make a batch!"

Gu Yong said helplessly: "This time the officials are too cut, and in terms of personnel, we can't add it at all!" ”

"That's not shoddy!" Zhu Zhi gritted his teeth.

"Zhu Cifu thinks that a certain family can't do this?"

Gu Yong raised his eyebrows.

"That's it!"

Sun Quan rubbed the bridge of his nose, waved his hand at the two of them, and said half-loudly: "Don't quarrel, this situation is normal, the cabinet is right, the officials are not wrong, there is a lack of talents, you alone give way, the cabinet will do a good job in the main position of the county commander and county guard, as for the secondary position, relax a little boundary, Yuan sigh, you also have to think of a way, you can borrow troops when necessary!" ”

"Borrowed soldiers?" When Gu Yong heard this, he was slightly stunned.

"Old man Cai and the more outstanding people under Zheng Shi are estimated to have let you search for it, but don't forget Jingzhou, Jingzhou has always produced talents, if Sima Wei and Pang Degong come forward, it is not impossible to recruit a group of talents!"

Sun Quan reminded the way.

Sima Wei and Pang Degong Huang Chengyan are old things, more than half a hundred years old, not to mention the disciples under their names now, with their fame and prestige, they can definitely pull out a group of talents from Jingzhou, which has a strong academic atmosphere.

Jingzhou is not only a Lumenshan Academy, before the academy was not at its peak, the academic atmosphere was the strongest in Yingchuan and Jingzhou, and there were many scattered Confucian houses in Jingzhou, and there were many scholars.

"King, those old guys are not easy to fool!"

Gu Yong smiled slightly bitterly: "Although Jingzhou has surrendered, it is impossible to raise an army, but the people's hearts are undecided, Mr. Shui Jing and Pang Saijiu are both highly respected people, but they are hiding and pinching, and I can't take it out!" ”

"Stupid!"

Sun Quan gave him a hygienic eye with some hatred, and said in a low voice: "You can't fool them, Pang Tong can't fool them yet, use your strength, such a good person, why don't you know how to use it, don't care." Now that the idea is out for you, you try to fill the gap. ”

"No!"

When Gu Yong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

After the two of them reported the attendance of the officials in detail and got Sun Quan's reminder, they hurriedly left the imperial study.

"King, Lu Jun's matter?" Zhang Hong did not leave. On the contrary, he raised a topic with some embarrassment: "The problem on him is not small, if it is more serious, with the law of Dawu, ten years and eight years, he will not be able to escape!" ”

"Let him get out of the way!"

Sun Quan thought for a while: "For the sake of the overall situation of the court, Yushitai will show favoritism for a while, the law is dead, but law enforcement is alive, and the Jiangdong family has been beaten by us." Lu Jun is going to go to prison again, and the Jiangdong family will really deviate from our court! ”

"Wechen understands!" Zhang Hong also knows that in today's overall situation, Lu Jun can't move.

"Lu Jun can't move, but the people under him might as well move!" Sun Quan said.

"No!" Zhang Hong crossed a trace of coldness.

"Is there still something going on?" Sun Quan loosened his bones and looked at the sky, it was almost noon. He was thinking about eating.

"One more thing!"

Zhang Hong thought for a moment and took out a dossier from his sleeve. Said: "This is some of the files that the Imperial History Observatory has obtained from the Jinyi Guard, and Weichen thinks that it is inevitable for the king to take a look." ”

"Lone knows!"

Sun Quan's pupils contracted slightly, put the file away, and said, "Jinyiwei's matter." You set up a group from the Goshidai to keep an eye on them! ”

"No!"

Zhang Hong received the order, and then saluted and left the imperial study.

However, Sun Quan did not have the life to have a lunch in peace, and he had not left the imperial study yet, when Zhou Yu, the head of the household, came.

"Brother Gongjin. You don't have to go to court today, so you have time to enter the palace? Sun Quan glanced at Zhou Yu, who was in the dust, and said jokingly.

"King, Weichen has something to report!" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

"Say!"

Sun Quan's face was straight.

"Great King, the cultivation value of Shu millet in Youzhou in the north and the northeast has achieved initial results!"

Zhou Yu stood under His Royal Highness and said respectfully: "This year's autumn harvest is approaching, if there is a big harvest, the north will enter the stage of grain self-sufficiency in the future!" ”

Shu millet is also sorghum, a food that only appeared in the Han Dynasty during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is more suitable for cultivation in the north than rice.

There has always been a food crisis in the north, and it is normal for food to be insufficient, and it is necessary to rely on domestic support every year to achieve the standard of not starving to death for the people, especially last year's chaos in the north, and there was even less food.

Therefore, Sun Quan had transplanted the Shu millet that appeared in the southwest to the north in the early years, but in these years, there was not much color in planting.

On the contrary, it is only this year that it can be regarded as stabilizing.

"That's good news!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he immediately smiled, and said: "As long as there is enough food in the north, it will accelerate its development, and if it can achieve food self-sufficiency this year, it will be possible to give back to the imperial court next year!" ”

In this day and age, the sky and the earth are big, but there is no food.

"It's a bit hard!"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "In the estimation of the household department, in the next three to five years, it will be impossible for the north to feed back to the imperial court in terms of food, and if it encounters natural and man-made disasters, it may be beaten back to its original shape!" ”

"Zhou Yu, don't worry about natural disasters and man-made disasters every day!"

Sun Quan said angrily: "You have to worry about it, and you also have to worry about whether the wind and rain are good!" ”

"Huh!"

Zhou Yu smiled, and then continued: "In our household department, when cultivating Shu millet, the Department of Agriculture has produced a few talents!" ”

"Talent?"

Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and he said: "It is a talent that must be used, and the people take food as the sky, and only when they eat well can they say other things, so in terms of agriculture, your household department can definitely pay attention to it!" ”

"Wechen knows!" Zhou Yu nodded, and then continued: "King, there is still one thing in the household department that can't be decided!" ”

"Tobe? It's a matter of the Ministry of Household and the Department of Commerce, right? Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly: "The matter of Dawu Qianzhuang? ”

"King Mingjian!"

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "The establishment of Dawu Qianzhuang proposed by the king, the household department and the business department have never been able to come up with a perfect plan, in this regard, we are too unfamiliar!" (To be continued......)
