I want to be emperor

Chapter 367 Zhang Zijin Becomes the Examiner
The solution for the Great Chu Empire is to install a large number of hydraulic machinery and replace unstable manpower with more stable mechanical equipment.

Even so, in fact, the processing level and performance of the artillery built by the Great Chu Empire are actually inferior to those hand-crafted by senior craftsmen.

This is also the direction that many technicians of the Great Chu Empire have been working hard to improve.

Whether it is the technicians in the machinery factory or the artillery factory, their main job is not to design better artillery, but to improve the production process, improve the accuracy of the equipment and the processing capacity.

Dai Xinhan led a group of engineers to solve the problem of mass production of the [-]-pound naval gun, and in addition to the mass-production problems of the [-]-pound naval gun and the [-]-pound naval gun he solved before, this made Luo Zhixue treat him well. Look higher.

At the same time, in order to stimulate other engineers to use their ingenuity and wisdom to contribute more to the industrialization of the Great Chu Empire, Luo Zhixue was also preparing to set an example.

And Dai Xinhan is more suitable.

He has excellent research ability and can keep up with the times. While researching, he can also participate in the compilation of various mechanical textbooks in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology. At the same time, he is also very interested in mathematics and geometry. Song Yingxing is very easy to talk to, and often exchanges letters to discuss various technical issues.

Moreover, he is relatively pure in person and has no political ambitions. Even if he has the rank of the fifth rank and not low political treatment, his life style is still relatively simple, and he does not take advantage of the opportunity to gain money and gain power.

In the end, Luo Zhixue chose Dai Xinhan as a model for the world to see: specializing in all kinds of science and technology, not only can he be an official, but he can also be knighted!

This indeed aroused huge repercussions, and many people were stunned on the spot, and as the news of Dai Xinhan's canonization was transmitted to other places through the mansion newspaper, after being known by the civil and military officials in the Great Chu Empire system, , everyone was dumbfounded!

After all, in the eyes of many people, Dai Xinhan is just a senior craftsman.

Before this, Luo Zhixue said that those senior engineers should be awarded grades and included in the unified official management system. Many people also had opinions in their hearts, but they also accepted it.

After all, this is a senior engineer at any rate, and what he does is to build guns and do things for the empire.

You must know that even those officials were serious and high-ranking before.

From ancient times to the present, the Great Chu Empire has truly broken the distinction between officials and officials. They are all officials of the Great Chu Empire who are loyal to the emperor.

Not to mention the distinction between officials and officials, Luo Zhixue even threw the traditional six ministries and other systems into the trash, and created a highly centralized political structure by himself.

However, these things were created by Luo Zhixue a long time ago, even when he was squatting in Nanyang Mansion, which made many officials who joined later, especially those who had surrendered from the previous Ming Dynasty, very upset.

When they first voted here, many people would have such an idea: Oh, my mother, this is simply a group of demons dancing... Various institutions and systems are nondescript... But there is nothing they can do about it.

Many of them want to set things right, but these systems have been finalized long ago, and have even been integrated into the blood of the Great Chu Empire. If they want to change it, it will basically negate the current status of the Great Chu Empire. If the political system is like this, without Luo Zhixue doing anything, a group of ministers will first tear up those who want to put things right!
You said that tax collection is a matter of the household department, so the tax department has to be abolished, and then the household department should be established, and the tax police are even more rebellious, and they will be abolished all at once.

What do you make a group of officials from the tax department think, what do you make Chen Xingkai, the minister of counselors think?
The tax officials came to you every minute, and after a little investigation, it was confirmed that you were a tax evader.

You talk about scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce, whether it is industry or business, it is just a small way. If you want to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, you can cut off the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce... You let the Minister of Counsel take charge of the development of the industrial, commercial and economic development What does Yuan Gaofeng think?
He is also the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

So many things, even the latecomers, especially the officials who surrendered from the Ming court, and the scholars who entered the imperial examination later were not used to it, and even felt that it violated their three views, and even felt that it was outrageous.

However, there is nothing they can do about it, and they cannot change it at all.

Because after they really entered the system of the Great Chu Empire, they themselves became part of these systems. If they changed, their own interests would also be damaged.

Ever since, you can see a traditional scholar who used to regard the Four Books and Five Classics as classics, extremely rejecting mathematics and science and engineering, thinking that it was just a strange skill, and even a Da Chu official of traditional background, even had to endure nausea to take the initiative Learn these things that were looked down upon and rejected by them in the past.

Why?

Because after learning these, you can become an official and be promoted!

These are especially evident in Sun Qinian's fellow countrymen... In order to be able to pass the examination and enter high school, they devoted all their attention to various science books that they thought would dirty their eyes at a glance.

Not only these candidates, but even one of their chief examiners, Mr. Zhang Zijin, the deputy director of the Supervision Department of the Ministry of Ethics and Education, is also engrossed in the headache of elementary mathematics...

Because our Master Zhang Zijin was ordered to be the chief examiner of Gewu.

Conscience of heaven and earth, Mr. Zhang has never had much contact with these things since he was a child, and like many scholars, he despises these things.

You let him do all kinds of stereotyped essays and play with poetry, it is definitely easy to say, the kind that can be easily read, but you let him do math problems... that is really embarrassing and disgusting at the same time.

Even so, Zhang Zijin still had to ponder these math problems.

Although it is said that there are reference answers when marking the papers, and the corrections are carried out directly against the reference answers, the specific marking work is also done by a group of people, and he, the chief examiner, is also in charge of management.

But you can't know everything... He is also a pioneer in the promotion of Gewu in the Great Chu Empire!

Zhang Zijin couldn't help sighing after finishing another math problem. He walked to the window and stared blankly at the Qinhuai night outside.

It's so fucking hard to be an official, I really want to resign and go home, so that I don't have to deal with these disgusting people's mathematics, physics, chemistry...

What the hell!
But when he thought about what the servant above said to him a few days ago, he gave up this idea again.

The servant minister clearly told him to let him continue to work hard and do a good job in this Gewuke test. As long as there are no mistakes, then after the end of this spring boudoir, the Ministry of Civil Affairs should come to find him. He talked.

Talking to the Ministry of Civil Affairs is a great thing, and it often means promotion.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Great Chu Empire has a tradition of investigating and talking to officials before they are promoted.

Even in the usual flat tone, there would not be such a formal investigation and conversation procedure.

This made Zhang Zijin look forward to it!

After he voted for Chu last year, he first worked as a so-called school inspector in the Ministry of Ethics and Education. At that time, he was mainly doing some things about Dengji Enke.

After ascending to Enke, he was added a level and sent to Xiangyang Prefecture in Northern Chu, where he supervised the imperial examinations and government affairs in Xiangyang Prefecture, Yunyang Prefecture, Junzhou and other places with the title of Chubei Right Counselor of the fourth rank.

Later, when Chubei officially established a province, he took advantage of the opportunity to be promoted to the director of the Superintendent's Office under the governor's office of Chubei Province, and his grade was further upgraded to the fourth grade.

After the Great Chu Empire moved its capital to Jinling City in Yingtianfu, and after the Great Chu Empire successfully held the Dengji Enke, the second test was also the first large-scale formal test.

He also specially transferred Zhang Zijin from Chubei back to the Department of Supervision of the Ministry of Rites and Education to serve as the deputy director, and his rank was promoted to Cong Sanpin.

This is considered to have formally stepped into the ranks of senior officials of the Great Chu Empire. Under the chief ministers of each province, the left and right participating in politics that assist the chief ministers in handling the administrative affairs of the province are only from the third rank.

In the Great Chu Empire, the left and right participated in politics, and in the administrative system of a province, their political status was basically second only to the governor and chief envoy, and they were the serious third and fourth leaders.

And this Cong Sanpin is only a local Cong Sanpin, according to the usual practice, it is half a level lower than the Cong Sanpin of Gyeonggi.

Zhang Zijin has done a good job in this position, and his superiors have seen his hard work, and now there is a shortage of people everywhere, so naturally they want to put Zhang Zijin in a more important position.

It's just that no one would have thought that Zhang Zijin actually didn't like the current imperial examination system of the Great Chu Empire, especially the emphasis on Gewu and Legal Affairs, and placed these two subjects on the same level as Jinshi's.

It's just that there are some things that no one knows if he doesn't tell them. Now in the eyes of outsiders, he is the vanguard of promoting Gewu Science!

Humans, without knowing it, they live in the way they hate the most!
----

On the sixth day of March, the weather was clear and cloudless, and the warm sunshine somewhat drove away the cold that had lasted for several months.

However, Zhang Zijin, who has not been in good health all along, still went out in a thick leather jacket, ear caps and a hand warmer.

Zhang Zijin's health has never been very good, after all, he is a frail scholar in the traditional sense, the kind who can't lift his shoulders or lift his hands.

In addition, when he was working in Chubei, he traveled around for a long time, went to every county to inspect and guide the local industry, and later had to hold local hospital examinations to select students, which almost failed him. To die of exhaustion.

Later, when he served as the head of the Chubei Supervision Office, he was exhausted from holding the provincial examination. As soon as the Chubei provincial examination was completed, he was transferred to Jinling City. He is involved in the detailed evaluation of the admission criteria, and even the selection of venues.

After several months of continuous high-intensity work, Zhang Zijin felt more and more that his body would not be able to hold on anymore.

It's just that if you can't hold on, you have to hold on to get through this test!

After all, after he has tried it, he is expected to make further progress!

If there is no accident, a third-rank official will be obtained, but whether it is transferred to a local government as a chief envoy, or as a director of other departments in Gyeonggi Province, it is a proper position and weight.

In the face of promotion, mere toil is nothing!
But Zhang Zijin still overestimated his body... Halfway through the test, he started to have a fever, but he was still thinking about his promotion after the test, and continued to grit his teeth!

Whether you can be promoted or not depends on this wave, and you must not back down, even if you burn to death, you have to hold on!

then……

This person turned his head and fainted when he was reporting on the physical examination and admission status at the imperial report meeting after the examination...

Luo Zhixue was taken aback for a moment, and the others were also dumbfounded!
Bumping into pillars in front of the emperor, swearing, etc. are nothing new, even if you have never seen it, you have heard of it, but in front of the emperor, you fainted from exhaustion, and it was not just pretending, it was a real high fever. It caused me to faint, to tell the truth, that is really rare...

After many people heard about this, ten thousand muddy horses were running wildly in their hearts: Nima, this is a ruthless person!
