Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 471 Discovered Another Genius

The exam is almost over, and it's time for the dreaded marking process.

Xu Guangqi and Zou Weilian felt terrified when they thought of the mountains of test papers. There were more than 20 test papers.

This time even Bi Maokang felt a little nervous.

Because there are several times more people taking the science exam this time, even though they don't need to read the test papers in the first two rounds, they still have to read them, it's impossible not to read them at a glance.

This time, there were more than [-] test papers for science, and there were not many Jinshi for science, and most of them were still working outside, not in the capital.

There are probably less than a hundred science Jinshi in the capital at the moment, and most of them are too busy to get away. If only forty or fifty people read these more than [-] test papers, it would not be a headache Cracking!
In Mingyuan Building, Taichang was still watching the performance of the candidates with a binoculars with great interest, but Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang and Zou Weilian were encouraging each other with their eyes, as if they wanted to push themselves out.

In the end, Xu Guangqi was pushed out.

He shook his head helplessly, then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

What is our relationship?

Are there just a few of our old acquaintances here?

You still tell me something to start playing?
Taichang turned his head involuntarily, and said inexplicably: "What's the matter, what's the matter, so yin and yang?"

Uh, I'm not called Yin-Yang Qiqi, am I?
Xu Guangqi said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that the imperial examination should be developed according to the needs? I feel that the examination papers also need to be developed. Otherwise, I am afraid that when the officials in the capital hear that they will come to the Gongyuan to read the examination papers They will all get sick.”

Well, this is indeed a problem.

There are only so many officials in the capital, and more than half of the six yamen in the capital.

No, it should be the Eight Departments Yamen at this moment.

There are a bunch of officials in each department of the eight yamen, and they are all very busy with questions, and they don't have time to check the papers.

As for the other yamen, it’s not like there’s nothing wrong with it. Except for yamen like the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College, which focus on research, other yamen are also responsible for a lot of things. It’s not bad if they can spare [-] to [-]% of the officials to review the papers. up.

In other words, although there are thousands of officials in the capital, if more than half of the eight yamen are removed, and [-]% to [-]% are removed, there will be one or two hundred officials who can come to review the papers.

One or two hundred officials have to read more than 30 test papers in less than a month, which really makes people afraid when they think about it.

These test papers are not just a glance, you have to think about how they are written, how to judge them, whether they can be recommended to the chief examiner as a tribute, and so on.

All of these have to be held accountable. Once something goes wrong, dismissal from office or loss of membership is trivial.

In short, the pressure of marking the imperial examination papers is really not ordinary.

After reading so many test papers under such great pressure, it is not bad if you don't read them insanely.

Taichang can also understand this.

He nodded slightly and said, "Well, we should think of ways to improve this. Have you thought of any good ways?"

Xu Guangqi said cautiously: "We think we can send a group of local officials from various provinces to review the papers. Anyway, there are fast boats at the moment, and the railway is constantly extending to various places. It doesn't take much time for local officials to gather in the capital. As long as each province can dispatch dozens of officials to help for a few days, we will be much more relaxed."

That's a good idea.

Taichang nodded without hesitation: "Okay, there is no problem with this improvement. You can definitely send officials from the local area to help as needed."

Now it's all right, they don't have to watch it with a splitting headache.

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he couldn't help but rejoice and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Thank you for this little thing?

Taichang shook his head slightly, and then sighed slightly: "Let's transfer Maozhong back this time, he ordered people to bring the good news during the New Year's Eve, and the first batch of rubber trees planted in Qiongzhou Mansion have produced rubber.

Alas, he stayed in such a hot place for several years, and he didn't have to rest during the New Year's Eve. It was really hard work.

Anyway, the rubber trees over there are all out of glue, which proves that there is no problem with the method of planting rubber trees, and there is no need for him to stare over there.

This time, the local officials were summoned to review the papers. By the way, let's send a boat to bring him back. "

When Xu Guangqi heard that his proud disciple was coming back, he was very excited.

He hasn't seen Chen Zilong for several years, and he doesn't know what this little guy has become.

Of course he knows how poisonous the sun over Qiongzhou Mansion is.

It is estimated that this little guy has been sunburned into black charcoal!

He couldn't help but sighed and said: "Yes, Maozhong has really worked hard. It's been a few years, and things are almost done, and it's time to come back. By the way, the emperor, what will he arrange for him when he comes back?" What about errands?"

Without hesitation, Taichang said: "Give him a minister of the Ministry of Agriculture first, and let him follow me to the East, Southeast Asia and even America.

I don't study agriculture either, I don't understand many things, I don't know whether some good things can be transplanted, and whether they can be cultivated in large quantities in the Ming Dynasty.

This is tantamount to wasting a lot of resources, just like sweet potatoes, potatoes, and rubber trees. Any of these things that are transplanted to the mainland of Ming Dynasty, cultivated in large quantities, and vigorously promoted can bring huge benefits.

He is an expert in this field, I have to take him around to look around. "

This is a good thing.

It is his good fortune that this little guy can follow the emperor. It is estimated that in a few years, his proud disciple will be promoted to the eight ministers.

Hearing this, Xu Guangqi couldn't help nodding his head and said: "Well, his attainments in this area are indeed good. He should be able to find some good things and transplant them to the mainland of Ming Dynasty."

The matter of mobilizing local officials to review the examination papers was settled in this way. Before the examination was over, the capital and the military city were rushed out. The local officials were pulled over in batches, and hundreds of people were gathered in a short time.

With the participation of local officials in this examination, the speed is indeed much faster. Every day, at least [-]% of the examination papers can be read.

In other words, the test papers for this meeting can be completed within ten days.

Taichang was most concerned about science candidates. He would go to Bi Maokang, Song Yingxing and others almost every day to see if there were any geniuses.

Unexpectedly, he really discovered a wizard or genius.

One day, he was discussing the selected Gongshi test papers with Bi Maokang, and Song Yingxing who was beside him suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, this kid is interesting."

Hearing this, Taichang immediately walked over quickly, and asked with great interest: "What's the matter, did you find any good seedlings?"

Uh, this.

Song Yingxing thought for a while, then handed the test paper to Taichang, and then said carefully: "This humble minister is not easy to draw conclusions, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

Taichang took the test paper and looked at it, his eyes almost popped out.

What did he see?
There is oil in the territory of Yan and Yan. The old saying goes that Gaonu County produces fat water, which is what it is.

Petroleum is born in the water, sand and stones are mixed with spring water, and come out in a daze, so it is named.

The natives pick it up with the tail of the pheasant, and pick it into the pot.

The oil looks like pure lacquer, and it burns like hemp, but the smoke is so thick that the curtains are all black.

I suspected that the smoke could be used, so I tried to sweep the coal for ink, the black light was like lacquer, and the loose ink was not as good as it was, so I made a big deal of it.

It is also true that his literate is Yanchuan stone liquid.

This thing will be popular in the world, and it will be done from the beginning.

Covering the amount of oil, it is born in the ground infinitely, not like pine wood that is sometimes exhausted.

This is the prose of the family ancestors, so students have been familiar with it since childhood.

The family ancestor once asserted that oil will be popular in the world, but why has it not been popular in the world so far?

Students test it, test it, practice it...

Stone, stone, stone, oil!
Taichang was stunned.

He really didn't expect that someone would refine oil at this time.

He should have thought of this a long time ago.

However, he has been so busy all these years that he never thought of developing oil.

This kid has already started refining oil, and he has made some achievements.

Genius!
