Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 118 As Worthy of My Big Brother
"Brother, what I'm going to talk about next is related to whether our Ming Dynasty will be forever strong in the future!"

Zhu Feng was so unconvinced that he would never stop talking. Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment.

What the hell, the entire Ming Dynasty has been sorted out.

Then you have to listen carefully.

However, Zhu Biao thought that his younger brother had never done anything serious before, other than building asphalt roads in the capital.

Originally, Zhu Biao still looked calm, but what Yang Xian said to him when General Zhu Ping was in Yangzhou was repeated to him unchanged.

Zhu Biao was completely shocked.

If this rail train is really built and the tracks are laid all over the country, the imperial court's control over local areas will be greatly strengthened.

"Is this what Yang Qing told you?"

"Who else in this world besides Yang Xian can come up with so many weird things?" Zhu Xi said.

Yang Qing should indeed become the national advisor of our Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Biao's eyes were blazing.

"Brother, it's so late, where are you going?" Seeing Zhu Biao getting up, Zhu Ming asked.

"Go see Father and tell us something important about whether our Ming Dynasty can be a permanent power in the future."

Zhu Biao walked outside the house without looking back, and there was a full moon hanging in the sky.

Tonight some people are destined to stay alone in their boudoir again.

Yangzhou.

In fact, Li Jin had heard about Yang Xian's talent very early. Liu Bowen's disciple was also a member of the Imperial Academy.

But after these days of observation, Li Jin discovered that Yang Xian did not regard himself as a scholar at all in his daily actions. He almost ignored the etiquette that Confucians care about. What he cared about every day was all weird things. .

The gentleman in charge of teaching Chinese studies in Yangzhou National Primary School.

I don't know where Yang Xian got it from. When class started, he spent almost half of the time telling various stories to the students.

He is more like a storyteller than a scholar.

When Li Jin asked, the other party said that he completed the teaching tasks in full accordance with the syllabus given by Master Yang.

Li Jin now teaches arithmetic in addition to school administration.

But he was embarrassed on the first day of class.

He had never seen the characters written by the students.

In this first class, the students taught the teacher.

Fortunately, Li Jin was smart and had a strong foundation in arithmetic. He quickly understood the secret of this so-called Arabic numeral.

He picked up a student textbook and flipped through a few pages. The more he read, the more frightened he became.

Anyone who can write such a syllabus is simply a genius in Li Jin's opinion.

His great contribution to arithmetic is no less than that of the philosophers and sages who wrote "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic", "Zhou Bi Arithmetic Classic" and "Sun Tzu Arithmetic Classic".

Li Jin completely put away the last trace of the so-called scholar's arrogance and began to fully devote himself to the work of Yangzhou National Primary School.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always done things vigorously and resolutely.

The next day after receiving the report from Zhu Biao and Zhu Ping, they decided to strongly support the construction of Jingyang Rail Train.

According to Yang Xian's plan, one station will be set up every [-] miles of road, and a total of eight stations will be set up from Yangzhou to Beijing.

Each station has a 20-meter-long platform and 12 station buildings. It is equipped with stables, horses, feed, water wells, etc., and is also equipped with personnel responsible for vehicle and track maintenance and loading and unloading.

At the same time, each station also needs to be equipped with a sentry who is responsible for daily patrolling whether the track is intact.

Time passes like this day by day.Rail train manufacturing is in full swing here.

On the other side, the first Enke after the founding of the Ming Dynasty is finally coming.

The person responsible for this title is Prince Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao was very confused about what test questions to ask. After Yang Xian's teaching a few days ago, he knew very well that if he wanted to select truly practical talents, he could not choose topics from the established Four Books and Five Classics as before. , there must be some questions of practical significance, in order to test whether the selected person really has the talent and learning to apply in the world.

After the past two years of contact with Yang Xian, especially after personally experiencing the disaster relief, Zhu Biao knew very well that scholars who only knew how to study could not save the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao did not want to elect another Yang Xian.

He only required that the talents selected by Enke this time had [-]% of Yang Xian's talents, and he was satisfied.

According to the previous imperial examination reform plan given by Yang Xian, this first session will select comprehensive talents.

The test questions are policy analysis.

After that, Yang Xian began to adopt the principle of "applying talents according to their talents and selecting talents based on professionalism", and announced the talents to be selected and the scope of assessment for the next Enke half a year in advance.

Therefore, this Enke, as the first session of the imperial examination reform, plays a vital role.

Zhu Biao wanted to announce to the world through this imperial examination that the Ming Dynasty imperial examination would enter a new chapter in history.

Create a more practical and pragmatic style of study for future generations.

Eclectic drop talent!

"If it were Yang Qing, what kind of questions would he ask?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but start to substitute Yang Xian.

At the same time, he remembered Yang Xian's words in his mind, recruit the kind of talents the country needs.

Zhu Biao had a flash of inspiration and his writing was flying.

After giving the test questions.

Zhu Biao personally took the examination questions to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this point, both father and son have the same style of doing things, which is efficiency first.

"Father, the examination questions for my son have been prepared." Zhu Biao walked into the hall and bowed to report.

"Oh? Show it to us."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

He raised his head and put down his right hand that was reviewing the memorial.

Setting Prince Zhu Biao as the chief examiner this time has broken a precedent. Fortunately, both he and Zhu Biao have unique authority in the court.

This suppressed all other sounds.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also curious about what kind of test questions Zhu Biao would ask.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the test questions handed over by Zhu Biao, read them carefully, and quickly frowned.

Looking at his father's appearance, to be honest, Zhu Biao still felt a little uneasy in his heart, because at that time he also spent a lot of effort to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to give up the assessment method of the Four Books and Five Classics.Therefore, he could not make up his mind for a while as to whether Zhu Yuanzhang would really accept these examination questions.

However, as time passed, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows slowly relaxed, and finally a proud smile appeared on his face, and he laughed.

"As expected of our great eldest son, I will take the exam questions according to yours this time."

The questions Zhu Biao asked were essentially different from those in the past imperial examinations.

It is conceivable that when the imperial examination questions come out, there will be a lot of criticism.

But now that we are ready for the reform of the imperial examination, it doesn't matter.

This is the courage of Emperor Hongwu.
