Thinking of the second and third brothers, the second sister and the third brother arrived in the capital. dot

In Zhengbaiqu, it is a super large construction site. In addition, let his sister have a little more knowledge, so Wang Ju let his sister go to Hangzhou after getting married.

Wang Ju arrived in the capital, which is the most prosperous place in the world, not to mention the excitement of the Spring Festival, so Wang Ju wrote a letter to ask the second sister and third brother to come back.

The second sister and the third brother arrived in the capital.

"What a big house," Wang Chong said as he looked at the new home.

The second girl's expression is also calm, without him, the Li family married, and changed the house in Yanzhou into a super mansion, in terms of area, this home is far less big than that family, and in terms of beauty, it is even less than that home.

However, the third child didn't see the new house, and he was still very happy, thinking that this house was so big.

The family began to spread out.

Guo Shi looked at the second and third children with a smile, touched their heads and said, "They have all grown so tall." ”

"I've seen my master." Wang Chong said respectfully.

Wang Ju wore Wang Ju after coming to Wangjiazhai, and his mother did not hand over, and his younger brothers and sisters stayed with their mother for a while, but at that time the two were very young, and they could remember very little, and what they could remember may have left a deep shadow.

The one who can really enjoy a little maternal love is Yunyan County.

Of course, Zhang Zai was also very happy to see the two.

Wang Ju asked them to sit down, and Wang Chong asked: "Gong Zhang, eldest brother, I heard in Hangzhou that after the imperial examination, the imperial examination will not be examined for Moyi, scriptures and poems?" ”

There are three main reforms of Wang Anshi's imperial examination, the first of which is linked to the awarding of officials, and the reduction of the initial awarding of Jinshi officials. Deferred conferment. The delay was pushed out by Wang Anshi. Reducing the life of officials in office is also tantamount to reducing the number of officials in disguise, and reducing the number of officials at the beginning of the Jinshi Rank.

The second article is linked to education, and students begin to take exams when they are in the state and county, and enter the Taixue level by level, forcing the scholars to study in the state and county. Taixue is divided into upper, middle and lower three houses, and the upper house is divided into upper, middle and lower three class students, and the upper class students can serve as officials without going through the imperial examination.

The imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty were extended from this foundation, and children had to pass the guò county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination to obtain the qualification of students, and then the official imperial examination, the township examination, the guild examination and the palace examination.

The Ming Dynasty was a little more standardized, that is, the content of the exam was too much...... Eight strands!

Therefore, Wang Ju suspects that Wang Anshi introduced this system firstly to promote education, and secondly, to make concessions to the powerful.

Because this school upgrade system is too non-standardized, it can create a lot of cats, especially too learning. In the capital, let the professors select the top students. Who will qualify in the end?

The third is linked to the content of the examination, canceling the Moyi and poetry of the scriptures, and selecting "Poems", "Books", "Yi", "Zhou Li" and "Book of Rites" as the scriptures, and "Analects" and "Mencius" as the scriptures.

This scripture is similar to the scriptures, righteousness and Moyi, but Moyi is only a one-sentence explanation, and it is different here to Wang Anshi, the righteousness is an explanation of a paragraph, and the scriptures and the scriptures are an article, and the content of the article is not to explain this sentence, but to study the understanding of this sentence, in order to "seek righteousness, not to make full use of the commentary" and "persuade the scholar to be the scripture, which can be described as the knowledge of the book".

The difference is that when scoring and interpreting, the most emphasis is placed on the scriptures, and then the scriptures and the general righteousness, rather than the original order of poetry and poetry.

If Jingyi is done well, he may not be able to be a good official, but in general, this reform has begun to focus on practicality.

At present, the reform of the imperial examination is only a prototype, but the reform of the examination has already been spread.

It's the same for students who are more balanced in all aspects. For students with poor poetic ability, including the original Wang Ju, it is still good news. But for students with strong poetic power and poor arguments, it is a bad news that can't be worse.

Wang Chong is still studying, and he didn't even participate in the exam, but after hearing this news, he will definitely pay attention.

After coming to the capital, he immediately asked Zhang Zai and Wang Ju for verification.

Because Fan Zhongyan's original imperial examination reform was unsuccessful, Zhang Zai did not answer.

Wang Judao: "Third brother, there is probably such a thing. ”

"The poems disappeared together?"

"God knows, but Jiefu Gong has been the prime minister for a few years, I'm afraid that the imperial examination will not use poetry."

"If this is the case, wouldn't Zhang Gong and the eldest brother be ranked higher?"

Wang Ju is shorter than poetry, Zhang Zai is also shorter than poetry, if Wang Anshi does this, the ranking of the two in the imperial examination will inevitably be higher, and even Wang Ju may get the champion.

But they won't be able to retake it.

Wang Ju didn't answer, and said: "It's just right that you came to the capital, if you don't understand something, you can ask me or your teacher." ”

That is Zhang Zai's best, in terms of strategy, especially current affairs, how many people can surpass Wang Ju?

Zhang Zai's face tightened, Wang Ju didn't say anything, Zhang Zai still heard it, Wang Ju's voice was that this imperial examination reform would last for a long time, and it also meant that Wang Anshi's reform would last for a long time! It will not disappear immediately after a few months like the Qingli New Deal......

But some can ask, and some can't.

What can be asked and said is the public government affairs of the imperial court, such as those promulgated in official edicts, such as those mentioned in the newspapers for the reference of state and county officials.

But some can't be asked, and some can't be said.

For example, Li Shimin's concubine Xu Hui's younger brother Xu Qitan was demoted because he was drunk and mistakenly talked about the affairs of the forbidden China, which refers to the government affairs that should not be said. Another example is Lin Chong's mistake to break into the White Tiger Hall, the White Tiger Hall is the White Tiger Festival Hall and the Shuai Mansion, and then he was arrested.

…………

"Wang Ju, sit." Zhao said.

"Thank you."

"Has the ordnance supervisor been integrated?"

"Not yet." Wang Ju replied. But he was thinking in his heart, it seemed that what he said had played a role, otherwise Zhao Ji would not have cared so much.

He only thought about part of it, Zhao Ji was concerned about the ordnance supervisor, but he didn't call him for the ordnance supervisor.

"I called you here to ask about a few things."

"Don't dare, Your Majesty, please ask."

The first is further disarmament.

Western Xia is eyeing and ambitious. I want to invade again. It means that war can break out at any time.

Then let's fight. Even Sima Guang couldn't say that he wouldn't fight, and continued to make peace.

But God knows how much it will cost for this dozen?

It should be said that after Wang Juti, the financial pressure of the Song Dynasty began to improve, as for the cane sugar, I don't expect it for the time being, but there will be a lot of cotton income soon. But it can only be said that it is better, and it does not immediately support the cost of a large campaign.

But now that the open source is bumpy, Zhao Ji has no choice but to think of a throttling strategy.

If you want to throttle, the main thing is redundant officials and redundant soldiers, forcibly reducing officials, Wang Anshi will not touch it, this is too offending people, it is Wang Ju's reduction of officials, and it is also slowly!

Then think about it, or cut troops.

Therefore, Wang Anshi said. The reduction of troops is the most urgent.

Zhao said that the number of Qingli has decreased a lot. I can only think of another way.

For the first time, a lot of troops were cut, but most of them were paid empty places, and the rest were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

This next step in reducing troops is that Wang Ju will not dare to cut it ruthlessly, especially when war breaks out at any time. Originally, Wang Ju's strategy was very clear, the second step of reducing troops was to increase the number of border armies on all roads, and then start large-scale reduction, and then this number could be used as the fixed pattern for the army after the Song Dynasty.

Now that the silting field has not started, the border army has not increased, and the war will break out at any time, Zhao Ji does not dare to reduce it anymore.

Wang Anshi said that if we can train and recruit soldiers, and then encourage the people of the three roads to practice soldiers, then the soldiers can be saved.

It seems to have also circled Wang Ju's thoughts.

However, whether it is Wang Anshi's strategy or Wang Ju's strategy, it is far away from the water, and it can't save the near fire.

Therefore, Chen Shengzhi said a way, those who are more than 40 guards and slightly missed, please accept the amount and migrate to Huainan.

As long as they migrate to Huainan Road and give some tuntian, they can reduce their supply. Wang Ju's Zheng Baiqu is a good proof of this. It is not much for one person to save more than a dozen or twenty yuan, and the savings of hundreds of thousands of soldiers are hundreds of yuan. And not a one-year province, but a year-to-year one.

Wen Yanbo was silent on the side because he insisted on changing Suizhou to buy security, so Lu Gongbi spoke, causing the soldiers to leave their homeland, and reducing their usual temperament, which made people uneasy.

But Zhao Ji was a little moved, because Wang Ju also said that let the forbidden soldiers leave the capital and move outside the city, so he asked Chen Shengzhi again, retired from the army, did the Zhongshu discuss with the Privy Council?

Lu Gongbi rushed to the front and said that the minister would not take a name for anything better than others, and he was afraid that he would mistake His Majesty. If hundreds of thousands of people mutinied, what could they do?

Zeng Gongliang was on the side and the mud, and gradually planned for it.

Chen Xu then talked about the old law of the ancestors, what is the old law of the ancestors, and take a look at how many forbidden soldiers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi raised in the dynasty!

Zhao Ji said, but the ruling party is in the political spirit, and if it is not incited, it will be fine.

Why Wang Ju is afraid that these officials and officials will be in trouble if they cut the ordnance superintendent, it is precisely this incitement.

In fact, the Qingmiao Law began to be implemented, and the capital has begun to have some bad rumors for some reason. However, the people of the Imperial City Division have not yet started to arrest him, and it may be next year, or the year after next.

But the bad thing is here, Zhao Ji knows, otherwise he would not have agreed to Wang Anshi to let the people of the Imperial City Division arrest more than 10,000 people, so that they should not talk nonsense. He knew, but he had been using some conservative ministers in the court, why, dissenting opinions!

Wang Ju heard the wind talk, and Wang Anshi also heard the wind talk, but now he can't say that he is in power, so he can only worry about it, so he followed up and said, Lu Huabi came to His Majesty to speak, just to be afraid of things, it is harmless. If you retreat from the crowd, it is to incite people's feelings.

Zhao Ji began to talk to the mud, changed the topic, and said, how did Chai Shizong get fine?

Wang Anshi had no choice but to say an honest word, Chai Shizong is also simple, but Chai Shizong's spiritual luck, the addition of authority, there are people who are outside, and they can help without repentance.

Chai Rong has few soldiers in his hands, but he can fight!

Where can I find a lord like Chai Rong in the Song Dynasty now?

Therefore, this discussion ended in vain, which was discussed in the political affairs hall, and even Wang Ju did not know. But it still reached the ears of some people who need to know, and Chen Jian, a straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, wrote on the road, and the minister proposed to retire from the army, damaging the ban on the lunar eclipse of the soldiers, so that they would eat Jianghuai, but the system of the ancestors, the forbidden soldiers were in the capital. Therefore, it has been a long time since the emphasis on the inside and the outside. People are safe, once they migrate to the country to eat, there are many soldiers, so they should be at ease, and they should be the same.

Zhao Ji suddenly woke up, in fact, Wang Ju said very clearly, including the construction and expansion of the border army, and the migration from the capital, but this migration from the capital is not to leave the capital, as far as Jianghuai, but to migrate outside the capital, or near the capital!

Therefore, Zhao Ji called Wang Ju again to discuss.

Wang Ju thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, please follow what Zeng Gong said, when you gradually plan things, although side affairs may arise again at any time, but the Liang family is not Li Yuanhao after all." And the border is also different from Renzong's time, the forts are clustered, the border army is prepared, and there is Zheng Baiqu's grain, although it will cost money, but it will not produce a huge amount of money like Qingli, at most the arrears will be repaid later. ”

"Ugh." Zhao Ji sighed, it's really fucking good that Dad left this foundation......

However, Wang Ju began to worry, if Wang Anshi really wanted to increase the border army and select the border army, he was in favor of it, and he was afraid that Wang Anshi would think of the armor protection method.

Zhao Ji said the second thing.

In March, he ran to the inner treasury and saw one thing, a foreign yaqian came to the capital to pay seven gold coins, in ancient times, seven taels of gold may refer to seven taels of gold, or it may refer to seven taels of silver, but here is seven taels of silver, not seven taels of gold.

That's it, seven taels of silver!

First of all, this silver, in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, it was a thousand copper coins exchanged for one tael of silver, and later a large amount of silver flowed into China, and even Spain brought silver from Europe to China, so the price of silver gradually declined, and the lowest time it fell to five hundred copper coins that could be exchanged for one or two silver. It was only at the end of the Ming Dynasty that when it was turbulent, it became a few thousand dollars exchanged for one or two pieces of silver, after all, the amount of silver was small and easy to hide.

But in the Song Dynasty, at first, it was also a thousand wen money to huàn one tael of silver, after getting the south, it once dropped to five hundred wen can be exchanged for one tael of silver, and now it is two thousand wen to exchange for one or two silver, if Wang Ju does not promote history, it will rise to three thousand wen and four thousand wen in history!

Therefore, the overall silver price was higher than that of the Song Dynasty than the Ming Dynasty.

Seven taels of silver, 1,400 yuan, equivalent to the purchasing power of 700 yuan at the beginning of the 21st century.

However, the local government owed the balance of the seven taels of silver in the inner treasury, and it had to be handed over on time, so it had to send a government to the capital to hand over the seven taels of silver.

However, this yaqian didn't know the rules, and when he arrived in the capital, the officials in the house wanted to eat and take it, or he knew the rules, but it was only seven taels of silver, how much bribe money could he bring over?

Therefore, under the seven cards and eight cards of the officials of the inner treasury, he has not yet handed over seven taels of silver, and he has no money in his hands.

What to do?

So he didn't dare to go back, so he hid in the capital to work to make a living, but the price of the capital is expensive, it is suitable to live, and the part-time job is not so easy, and he worked for a whole year before he paid seven taels of silver.

The inner library asked, and this yaqian told this passage again. Some officials in the inner library looked at him pitiful and let him go, but this was late, and what was to be recorded was recorded again, of course it would not be recorded like this, but Zhao Ji was definitely not stupid, and when he saw this record, he also saw what happened.

However, at this time, the Song Dynasty was full of holes, and Zhao Ji couldn't say it, or didn't want to say it, so he had to say a word to the minister: "Close to the internal library play, there is a person in front of the government in other states, and he pays seven coins of gold." ”

Zhao Ji told the story again, and said sadly in the chair: "Seven taels of silver, this is my Jiangshan Sheji?" (To be continued......)
