Zhang Juzheng was about to put away the first dozen papers.

"Wait." But I saw Mao Kai, the Minister of War, picked up a test paper and said, "I think this paper is inappropriate."

"Why do you say this?" Zhang Juzheng frowned slightly. He was very confident in his eyes. He felt that there was no problem, so there should be no problem.

"This person's other views are quite mature, but his remarks are a little terrifying about refugees. Please listen to me and read a paragraph..." Mao Kai said with the countermeasures:

"... The Confucian scholars of the world do not observe it, and take industry and commerce as the end, and they are arbitrarily discuss it. People who are fed, clothing, housing and transportation, and promote the country and strengthen the army, are not allowed to do it. In the foolish opinion of the ministers, workers, farmers and merchants should not generalize it. They should take "agriculture, trivial use" and "monetary" as the basis; "travel industry", "skilled decoration" and "selling strange things" as the end."

"This view is very novel." Yang Bo smiled and said with a smile when he heard this: "It was the first time someone raised it?"

"There are similar opinions in the "Qianfu Lun" of the Han Dynasty." The top scholars who were well-informed and remembered softly, "But no one in the dynasty has mentioned this view."

"Well, the times are different. Now there are 360 ​​professions, and it is indeed a bit inappropriate to use Guan Zhong's simple four-civilian division." Ma Sen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, smiled and said, "I think it's time to make this point, and I have to give him a single armor."

"If it's all that, I have no objection." But Mao Kai smiled bitterly: "But this person put forward this view to serve his solution to refugees. He said that coal is a necessity for people to keep warm and cook, so mining in coal mines is also our own business and should not be cured."

"For example, there are countless coal mines in the West Mountain. The restrictions can be relaxed and the royal family will be led by recruiting refugees to mine, so that hundreds of thousands of refugees will live and work in peace and contentment in an instant. These people are grateful to His Majesty. Not only will it not become a hidden danger in the capital, but they can send officers to train regularly."

"Once the Tartars invade the capital, more than 100,000 well-trained miners will pick up their weapons and immediately form a solid Great Wall, which will ensure that the capital will be foolproof..."

"This is a way to win three goals at one stroke." Yang Bo smiled and laughed when he heard this: "It not only solves the livelihood of the refugees and makes them miners, but also allows the people in the capital to use coal; it can also build a line of defense for the capital in the northwest direction and win time for the official army to gather. It's so wonderful. Look at it, it's not an exaggeration to give him a top scholar!"

Everyone nodded. They all said that they could come up with this kind of thing, which could not only solve multiple problems but also did not require the court to pay money. They were definitely a genius.

"I wonder what Maobutang thinks is wrong with this method?" They asked Mao Kai, who had a bitter face.

"It's not appropriate. It's too feasible..." The outside of the palace came from the crow of the chickens, and Mao Kai said with a slight silence: "Your Majesty has seen it, and it's probably because you want to do it. At that time, will you still think it's okay?"

"Well……"

"oh……"

The officials finally woke up.

This method is too feasible, and you don’t have to worry about the various ministries and Shuntian Prefectures, and you can do it yourself in the palace.

It’s okay if it can’t be done in the future. If it’s done, what kind of situation will everyone face?

First of all, the emperor had money in his hands by intervening in the coal mine, so he no longer had to be stuck in the Ministry of Revenue;

Furthermore, the emperor asked the Imperial Horse Supervisor to train miners, which could greatly expand the military power in his hands...

After Tumu Fort, civil servants spent more than a hundred years to gradually tame the imperial guards in the Beijing camp. If this made the emperor's hands suddenly add tens of thousands of troops, they would probably be unable to sleep again.

And... Forget it, these two are unacceptable.

So the geniuses immediately changed their opinion and said:

"Maobutang is still thinking far. We just think about the strategy and just talk about it casually, but forget that we may be adopted."

"Yes, once adopted, the consequences will be too serious. Once the imitation is carried out, hundreds of millions of refugees across the country will not go home. Who will farm for our country...? What do the people eat?"

"That's right, there must be that ambitious powerful man who took the opportunity to raise the dead soldiers and train them to run rampant in the countryside."

"This is a way to cause chaos!"

After commenting all the time, the adults said in unison: "Take him off! Try him into the third grade!"

Zhang Juzheng frowned slightly. He actually liked this paper very much, especially this method of recruiting and training miners, which made him amazed.

But he is already out of line today, so it is really not appropriate to sing a different tune with everyone.

Besides, the long days are long, and not entering the first altitude is also a kind of protection.

But you can't use the Three A to humiliate others.

Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng said, "Your Majesty's 'excellent'. It's too low to fall into the third grade. Put it in the second grade a little further."

"Just rely on my husband."

The readers of the paper actually only asked not to let the emperor see this, and did not care whether it was a second or third.

~~

At the 17th day, Emperor Longqing visited Wenhua Hall again.

The paper-reading officials who had been working all night were all worried, fearing that the emperor would think about it again, which would make everyone sleepless again.

Fortunately, Longqing did not make any trouble this time and finally returned to the original process.

He didn't say a word all morning and listened to Zhang Juzheng's reading of the test paper.

After Zhang Juzheng finished reading one, Feng Bao took the paper and put it on the imperial case, and then Yang Bo read the next test paper aloud, and then Wang Ting.

After reading the three copies, all the readers looked at the emperor nervously.

According to the original rules, after reading the three volumes, the remaining papers will be exempted from reading unless the emperor ordered them to continue reading.

Seeing that the emperor was still silent, the readers of the papers breathed a sigh of relief and asked Feng Bao to take the papers one by one and put them on the imperial case in order.

Then they withdrew from Wenhua Hall and waited for the emperor to order the top three.

After a while, the hall door opened.

When the paper-reading officials went in again, they saw that the 10-year paper had already been tear off the name of the paper, but the order had not changed. They knew that the emperor was very satisfied with their sorting.

Sure enough, Emperor Longqing stood up and smiled and said, "You are all knowledgeable and wise. I will just follow your own ranking."

"It's because of Your Majesty's wiseness that in just a few hours, I have been more than ten people waiting for me and a whole day." Yang Bo complimented.

"Oh, haha, I'm not that powerful..." Longqing was an honest and kind emperor after all. After all, he couldn't help but blush when he heard this, and thought to himself, in fact, I only read the first three sentences for each test.

Anyone who maintains my authority will give me "excellent".

Just flattering, I gave it 'good'.

Of course, it is not good to flatter Mr. Xu!

But who would have thought that this class of farts is actually both internal and external. In addition to being good at flattery, he is also very strong in his vision and strategy!

Could this be God's will?

When leaving Wenhua Palace, Long Qing looked up at the blue sky and suddenly said, "The top ten Xuan arrived at Qianqing Palace. I will meet them before the listing."

"This, Your Majesty..." The reader said to himself, and it's coming again...

But this will not affect the ranking anymore. The emperor can meet him if he likes him.

"Your Majesty must hurry up, and it will be passed down tomorrow."

So they stopped talking nonsense. After sending the emperor away, they quickly entered the hall and tore off the other test papers.

The big guys first glanced at the name on the controversial paper called "Zhao Shouzheng", and then they continued to fill in the list and opened it.
Chapter completed!
