"Wei Yanke is not a bad guy..." Yao Pingzhong and Xu Xingwei had a good relationship, and of course they had recognized Wei Yi for a long time. They nodded and agreed to order a banquet and other details. Of course, it was the owner Yao Pingzhong, the owner.

Everyone dispersed, and before leaving, Zhong Ji said to Xu Zixian: "Yao Weicheng speaks roughly, don't mind it, lord."

"Just call me Mingda." Xu Zixian smiled and said, "You are the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best."

"What, I'll just say it." Yao Pingzhong said: "Brother Mingda is a cheerful person, and I hate that we are the Northern Imperial Guards. If we come out of Fujian together, I will go to Brother Mingda's camp, not afraid of not being able to make a contribution."

Xu Zixian felt aroused, knowing that these two people really meant to be effective.

But the imperial guards who were born in the Northwest Generals, and the imperial court would not be allowed to go to Fujian after being admitted to the Wujinshi... These two people obviously saw themselves rushing into the government residence in a fire. For these two young soldiers who were also in their twenties, they were of course worthy of their subsidies.

Unfortunately, Xu Zixian is based in Fujian. The two of them are so close that they want to establish their impression first. The royal family usually only has the place to be detained, but Xu Zixian is really an anomaly. Who knows whether he is good at martial arts and will he be transferred to the north to lead the imperial guards?

If you have a place to stand, you will be able to talk to the future.

After everyone dispersed, Xu Xingwei smiled at Xu Zixian and said, "Mingda, don't you mind if you can win the top scorer?"

Both civil and military officials have top scorers, and the title of top scorers came from the former Tang Dynasty. In addition, the Jinshi at this time was the second place. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that there was a saying that the three tripods were the top scorers and the two second placers. Xu Zixian certainly had a chance.

"The court will always suppress it." Xu Zixian smiled and said, "For me, the top scholar is not the icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter whether you take it or not." "That's true." Xu Xingwei sighed. His performance was also good, but at most it was second-class.

There are only three people in the first class, namely the top scorer and two second scorers, and they are called Jinshi and the first place.

Dozens of second-class people are called Jinshi.

The most third-class people are from the same Jinshi class and are in the third-class exam. If you want to become an important official, the chance is generally not great.

Of course, Xu Xingwei would not be able to stand first, but as a close friend, he certainly hoped that Xu Zi would win the top scorer first. The opportunity was really rare.

The priest will not make things difficult for the emperor, and Xu Xia Shang will definitely support him. Only the emperor will have prejudice. If the ranking is small, the priest will not be able to make a big deal with the emperor. It is a real pity.

The top civil servant is generally directly awarded the title of the sixth-rank Beijing dynasty official, which saves ten years of hard work and transfer. The top military officer and the fifth-rank defense envoy can also obtain the title of the army camp. In addition, Xu Zixian had his previous great achievements, it is very possible to directly serve as the head of the army.

Otherwise, there will be a defense envoy somewhere on Fujian Road, which will be a top reward.

The imperial court will not be stingy, and the emperor will not criticize people for such trivial matters. After all, the top scholar is the most affordable.

"Brother Zhang, don't plot." Xu Zixian found it funny and said, "Whether you can get it or not, it really depends on your destiny, and it cannot be done by manpower."

"I can't really give it a try?"

"There is a solution. I have already made a move. Next, it depends on whether I can impress the emperor."

Xu Zi smiled first and said, "So, it depends on destiny."

...

Jinzouyuan is on the left side of Lizheng Gate, not far from the Zhengshi Hall.

The atmosphere in the capital has been extremely tense these days. Some people in the whirlpool have lost their offices and even been arrested and imprisoned.

When Han Zhong wants to use his tricks, he will not be polite at all.

Han Zhong won't hold back when he drives away Liu Zhiyuan's people and changes his own lines, otherwise he will only make his confidants feel resentful.

The people and the people who entered the Zuoyuan were very at ease.

This errand is a standard idle miss, and it is the biggest task to enter the Zuo Academy.

The person who submits the memorial also has certain standards. This dynasty cannot prohibit the folk writings, but at least one must have an official position or a scholar who passes the exam before he is qualified to submit the memorial.

There are more than 800 military prefectures, more than 2,000 counties, and hundreds of thousands of officials. In addition to doing official duties as usual and submitting official documents, some officials also like to submit memorials to the emperor. As long as they are recognized by the emperor, they will surely be just around the corner.

In addition to official memorials and memorials on discussion, there are also some memorials that contribute local products and auspiciousness. For these, the memorials in the memorials were classified into categories, and those who were unqualified in identity and in the form of memorials were returned. One of the memorials that were not qualified and the memorials were copied to the Zhengshi Hall, and another one was sent to the palace, and the provinces in the eunuchs were given to the emperor's imperial reading.

In a day, there are as many memorials as many as thousands, and there are as few as two or three hundred. All the military, grain, wealth, education, industry, commerce and trade are included. Of course, there are also many whimsical and ridiculous memorials, but the memorials are sufficient, and the memorials are not contrary to the rules, and they still have to be sent as usual.

Otherwise, the four words "isolated from China and abroad" will not be able to bear the general envoy.

Even so, the memorials of these foreign officials generally cannot reach the emperor's desk.

Generally speaking, if the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall have read and approved the memorials, they will be given to the emperor again. If the emperor also approves them, the imperial edict will be ordered to pass the imperial edict. This is the official edict.

This is one of the jobs of the priests. The emperor who is strong in energy or suspicious will generally ask the eunuchs to take some memorials that have been shelved by the prime minister to watch themselves. Generally speaking, it is a futile and wasteful effort. It is just a boring move by the emperor to show that the great power is not completely attributed to the priests.

Today, I like to read memorials, and I often feel excited and advance and retreat at will, which makes the important officials of the two prefectures very dissatisfied.

Even Liu Zhiyuan, who was dependent on the emperor in everything, despised the emperor's behavior quite contemptuous of him.

This is an imitation of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, but today I am not as scheming as Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, nor is it so knowledgeable and memorable. The ridiculous things are inevitable.

"Sir, today's memorials have been roughly classified." A Confucius official said to He Gang, the envoy of the memorial hall: "There is a letter from Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an, which is very interesting."

"Oh?" He Gang signaled the other party to present it. He was quite interested in Nan'an Hou. As an official of the right prime minister Xu Xiashang lineage, He Gang certainly had no disgust towards Xu Zixian. In Xu Xiashang's private residence, many people had heard the old prime minister praise Xu Zixian several times.

Speaking of which, there are not many outstanding people in the royal family like Xu Zixian.

"On the letters of Ma Zheng in the State Council." He Gang glanced at it and laughed: "Sei asked to increase cavalry, and then put on the letters of Ma Zheng. This Marquis of Nan'an was indeed what the old prime minister said, and he did not fire empty cannons. He was a down-to-earth royal family who did practical things."

Kongmu Guan said with interest: "If I weren't going to do so many big things, after all, I'm still capable."

"Look, let's talk about it."

He Gang's identity was already an important official. He was the Minister of Rites and served as the envoy of the Jinzhaoyuan. Another step was the Grand Secretary of a certain hall and the Minister of Rites. He was not far from the two palaces, so of course he could not praise someone without reservation.

For the sake of the old prime minister, he already has a preconceived impression of Xu Zixian.

But the more he looked, the more he became solemn He Gang's expression became.

Xu Zixian's argument is a prestigious person.

In Xu Zixian's view, the destruction of horse politics and the lack of horses in Wei's army did not mean that they could not raise horses, nor did they lack horse farming land. First of all, the court did not have the determination and confidence, and secondly, there were problems in the employment system, and then environmental factors were the case, and then there were many considerations such as costs, venues, and personnel.

Taking the horses of the Tang Dynasty as an example, there was also a serious lack of cavalry in the early Tang Dynasty. Later, during the reign of Emperor Taizong, only 3,000 remaining war horses of the Sui people were collected. In addition, 2,000 Turkic war horses were captured. Based on 5,000 horses, horse herds were grazed in Longyou. Taipuqing Zhang Wansui presided over the horses. In the following twenty years, there was no change to the horses of the horses. As a result, in the later years of Emperor Taizong, a minister reported that the horses of Longyou had raised 700,000 horses. Anyone who had any wars would choose strong war horses to follow the battle. He was forced to choose the horses.

Because of the success of the horse government, the Tang Dynasty also raised extremely elite cavalry and opened up a huge territory that was far away from the Qin and Han dynasties.

This was the determination of Emperor Taizong of Tang. At the beginning of this dynasty, it also set up various supervisors to raise horses. However, due to the huge and complicated official system, it was considered a legacy of the previous Five Dynasties, including positions, officials and dispatches. Taizu tried to change it as much as possible. However, there were still many troubles. The officials were large in the army and the capital was the center. The officials who raised horses were often replaced and transferred, but there was no regular system. As a result, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, the horses were investigated. Raozhou raised 562 horses, and 305 were killed. The rest were too thin to drive away the horses, and there were only twenty-seven horses raised.

In order to raise these twenty-seven horses, half of them died of horses, and the remaining ones were tired and thin, only twenty-seven horses were released.

Xu Zixian believed that this was because the court was not determined and the system was disordered, and the prisoners could not accept people, otherwise this would not have been the case.

The cost of raising horses is mostly based on the high cost of officials' carelessness, waste, or even embezzlement. The cost of a horse in the Great Wei Dynasty is equivalent to raising fifteen imperial guards, which is indeed unremarkable. Normally, all the horses are fed with fine grain, and at most the military pay cost of five imperial guards is enough.

However, the Great Wei horses still wanted to feed horses with forage and were reluctant to use fine grain and beans. This is of course the reason why the war horses were exhausted and thin.

In addition, under the law of protecting horses, it is also a waste of time to raise war horses in captivity in farmers.

War horses are strong stallions, and they need to be grazed and galloped regularly, so that they can cultivate the strength and courage of the horse and be able to drive and run on the battlefield.

The horses raised in captivity are reluctant to leave the essence, so the horses raised are of course thin and timid. They even think they are short and thin when pulling carts. How can they be considered war horses?

First, choose people, second, there must be large open space for horses to drive, third, feed them with essential materials, fourth, select excellent horse breeds to breed, and time, it is not impossible for the Wei Dynasty to cultivate large pastures of 700,000 horses as in the early Tang Dynasty.

He Gang saw it at the end and sighed: "Xu Zixian's writing is still as cold and accurate as the short article in Fuzhou, not luxurious, but accurate... It looks really weird."

Of course, Xu Zixian would not use his spirit to engrave his words, and he also had the habit of writing in later generations. Therefore, he wrote a letter to talk about things by using facts. His letters listed a large amount of data to support his arguments. Compared with those who often make ten thousand words, they always say that they are called Confucius and Mencius and the sages are cited according to the classics. Xu Zixian's memorials are somewhat different in readability and the lyrics are also very peaceful, but the more peaceful the facts are, the more touching the facts and arguments listed are, and they give people a feeling of being overwhelmed and breathless.

He Gang was fortunate to be one of the first readers, and then he realized how stupid Su Songxian and others were to mock Xu Zixian's question. It would definitely become a joke between the court and the country afterwards, a joke that Su Songxian and others could not laugh.
