Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 237 Imperial Examination Reform
Beibei and Bobo learned together, and couldn't take it after falling twice, but she couldn't bear to learn, and then continued to learn intermittently.

Beibei looked pale: "Brother, it's so difficult! I fell many times today."

Bobo loves this younger sister the most on weekdays, and when she heard that she fell again, she couldn't take it anymore: "Why don't we just stop learning, and my brother will take care of you in the future."

Beibei refused: "No, Erniang said that the back seat of your bicycle will be reserved for your future Fujin."

Although Bobo is small, he already knows what Fujin means, so he is a little embarrassed.

"Emiang lied to you, I will leave the back seat of my brother's bicycle to you from now on."

Beibei wavered a bit, then shook her head and refused: "Er Niang said, if you want to learn, you have to study hard, Er Niang won't allow me to give up halfway."

Bobo was carefully taught by the great Confucianism, so he naturally understood his mother's intentions, and was afraid that Beibei would develop a pampered temperament. Although she knew that her mother was doing the right thing, she still felt distressed.

It was impossible for Bobo to refute his mother's words, so he had to fall with Beibei in the end.

Beibei's bicycle is much smaller than Bobo's, so Bobo sits on the back seat when Beibei is practicing, and Bobo cannot be avoided when Beibei wrestles.

This is indeed very effective, and Beibei also feels sorry for her brother, so she practiced more seriously, her concentration improved, and she naturally learned quickly.

Slowly, Beibei learned to bike.

After Beibei learned how to ride a bicycle, she went to tell Yinzhen and Yunrong that they had always cared about their children and knew how Beibei learned to ride a bicycle.

He praised Beibei, and then praised Bobo.

This incident reminded Yinzhen, Bobo is not too young now, he reads well and has learned a lot, and he can get a little bit of it by following him on weekdays, now it's time for him to practice on his own.

Bobo still doesn't know that his "hard days" are coming. When the time comes, he will have to follow Ama to learn how to deal with government affairs, and he will have to spare time from time to time to accompany Beibei, a precious little sister, and a little pudding, who is just a troublesome brother. He also needs to take over.

In the 27th year of Kangxi, the bookstore was officially put into use. Wu's Department Store has opened branches in many places in the Qing Dynasty, and its reputation is very loud. At the same time, businesses in various places in the Qing Dynasty gradually developed.

Under the influence of Yinzhen, the status of merchants has gradually improved, and the Qing Dynasty has a special supervision department. Now officials from all over the Qing Dynasty have become a lot more honest. It cannot be said that there is no filth in it, but it is better than before. Too much.

This year is the year of the imperial examination, and at the same time, this session of the imperial examination has also touched the hearts of many people, especially those who plan to take the imperial examination to enter the officialdom, they are all paying attention.

Mainly because of the big reform of the imperial examination this year, the subjects of the imperial examination have changed, no longer limited to stereotyped essays, the proportion of literature has been reduced, and more emphasis has been placed on policy theory. Policy theory is basically aimed at practical issues. From a person's policy theory, we can see a A person's way of doing things, his attitude in dealing with the world, and his ability.

This year's policy theory is a topic posed by Yinzhen, which is similar to situational topics, such as how do parents judge a case?For example, what kind of disaster in a certain place should be dealt with?For example, if you encounter an emergency situation, how to deal with it?There are even questions about how to restore peace to the people if you encounter bandits... and so on.

They are all very livelihood issues.

Of course, the imperial examination has also increased the proportion of mathematics in it. Even if an official can deal with problems again, people will still be taken advantage of if they don't know how to do things.

Yinzhen plans to take 2000 candidates this time, which is not a large number for the imperial examination base, but compared with the two to three hundred Jinshi in previous years, these 2000 candidates are indeed a bit much.

This imperial examination also takes nine days, but you can go back every day. There is a break at noon.

There are some changes in the subjects of the imperial examination, which some people find unacceptable, but the change in the way of the imperial examination is welcomed by those who take part in the imperial examination.

After all, the number room is really not that easy to stay in, especially for the hospital exam, you can’t come out for three days, and you can’t eat or sleep well in the joint exam for three days. If you are unlucky and get into a bad number, you can bear it. If you can't bear it, you will definitely not be able to write, and naturally you will not be able to show your strength.

The imperial examination does not need to spend the night in the No. room, and everyone is looking forward to it, which is really great.

The questions of this year's imperial examination were chosen by Yinzhen himself. It is not difficult, but it is not easy. If you are a nerd who only knows how to read, you must find it a bit overwhelming. However, these questions are not very outstanding for those who are not very talented, but pay attention to practical people. That would be so friendly.

After nine days passed, two voices came out. One thought that these imperial examination questions were not good. Naturally, these people were usually weak in policy theory, and some people thought it was good. After all, being an official is not to solve problems for the people, right?

There was a lot of noise in the capital, and half a month later, the results came out, and two thousand people were selected.

Yinzhen had a plan in mind. He read the test papers of these 2000 people, let them take the palace examination, and finally put these 2000 people in an academy to continue their studies according to their qualifications.

That's right, just continue to study. Yinzhen has chosen the content of the study according to what they are good at. This academy is similar to a university, but it is different. There are not so many majors. The people who come out of it are basically politicians and officials.

When Yinzhen first proposed this system, many people opposed it, saying that the rules set by the ancestors cannot be changed, and there are many people who use Confucianism as an argument.

The final result is obvious, the academy has been built.

After another two months, these 2000 people had already started school, and Yinzhen specially approved [-] bicycles, one for each person, as a reward for them.

In the past two years, bicycles are no longer a rare thing. Generally, people who are a little richer can afford them. Of course, most of them are of ordinary styles.

A few tens of taels of silver is enough for ordinary bicycles, and bicycles with a price of one hundred taels, one thousand taels, and ten thousand taels of silver are also sold.

These two or three people's bad bikes are naturally not too bad, they are all white bikes, and it's not a shame to ride such a bike.

Liu Jiangqing was also a Jinshi this year, and he also studied in this academy. Two years ago, Wu Yiming gave birth to a son for him. The son was already two years old. This year he passed the exam, and Wu Yiming became pregnant again.

Zhang Mingxuan and Jin Xiaoxiao have been married for more than a year, and they are also pregnant now, but they were pregnant earlier than Wu Yiming.

Under the influence of Wu Yiming, Jin Xiaoxiao also began to learn how to run a shop. Zhang Mingxuan did not object to this, but rather agreed. His family background is limited, and Jin Xiaoxiao can benefit from running a shop, so there is no need to object.

Over the past few years, Wu Yiming's reputation has gradually become apparent. People around Liu Jiangqing knew about it, and some people whispered something in his ear, but he held on to it, and didn't feel that he was relying on a woman to get up.

Seeing this, Wu Yiming and Liu Jiangqing gave a bit of sincerity, but sincerity was limited, and they didn't give it all. Unless they were old in this life, the relationship between the husband and wife would be like this in this life.

Liu Jiangqing felt Wu Yiming's feelings, although not much, but he was content, after all, he put his heart on her first.

After Yinzhen and Yunrong finished the imperial examination, they went to a place to see a steam locomotive.

After several years of improvement, Yunrong also provided theoretical support from time to time. Compared with the one seen a few years ago, today's steam train has saved a lot of energy.

Both Yinzhen and Yunrong felt that the time had come. They watched the steam train and were already planning to build the railway.

How to build the railway, this also needs to be considered before making a decision. After all, there are priorities, right? Which place should be built first?How to fix it?Who is the host of the construction of the railway?The profit inside is not small, how to ensure the quality of the railway...?All problems.
