"Please," Hu Meng and Li Fang said.

"Daily use, Mingyuan, you'd better come." Song Jiu said modestly.

The three of them reviewed the documents together, and from the official position, Song Jiu was recognized as the leader.

But Song Jiu was making humble.

When we arrived at the Secretariat, Chen Yilun and Xue Juzheng were drinking tea, which was not much stronger than Chu Zhaofu at the time. But one person cannot be ignored, Lu Duosun!

Several people deal with the affairs of the Secretariat. Except for a little pitiful vision, Song Jiu was still not as old as Lu Duosun.

Historical books once portrayed this person as a villain, but Song Jiu was a little confused. Historical books Song Jiu did not take it seriously. Like the famous Taizu Three Lessons, he would never add taxes, would not kill the descendants of the Chai family, and would not punish the scholars and officials. Song Jiu also did not see it.

What Song Jiu couldn't understand was that Lu Duosun was not a useless villain or as mentioned in history books. Why was he portrayed like that after he was removed from office?

Song Jiu didn't care what Lu Duosun ended up, he cared about Zhao Pu's ability.

Therefore, he was very careful in his work, such as Yuan Kuo's knowledge of Chuzhou for several months and increased his taxes by more than 20,000 yuan, so he submitted a memorial.

After the book was reported, Song Jiu commented: How much is the commercial tax, how much is the two tax? More than ten years ago, the great disaster in Chuzhou gradually recovered during our dynasty, but it was not as good as the Tang Dynasty. Your increase in taxes will benefit the court, and your loyalty is commendable, and the livelihood of the people cannot be ignored.

Chuzhou was not the Chuzhou when Song Jiu first came. With the acquisition of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Bian River transport became more and more important, and Chuzhou gradually flourished. However, Chuzhou was too serious in the massacre of the city in the Later Zhou Dynasty. Although it recovered, it can only be considered a Zhongzhou now.

If even Chuzhou could increase taxes by tens of thousands a year, then the taxes of the Song Dynasty would more than double.

Whether it is collected from commercial taxes or from two taxes, it is an abnormal practice.

Song Jiu did not agree with crying for poverty and tax exemption, which would benefit the people, but would suffer the country. This is what Song Jiu said that day that the interests balanced, the interests of the country, the interests of the people, and the interests of the people are divided into the interests of the poor, the middle class and the rich.

The best way to do this is to tax moderately and to collect taxes reasonably.

Song Jiu did not agree with Yuan Kuo's approach, but he said it very tactfully. You are good at your heart and loyal to the country, but you should do it in moderation. Therefore, he asked him to further report specific tax increases. Where the increase was increased, it was criticized and commended.

The rest are the same, whether right or wrong, praise, or encouragement, and then tactfully point out the shortcomings or mistakes.

Although Hu Li and Li did not have the high position of Song Jiu, they could not be underestimated. They had served as the Minister of the Central Secretariat very early, but what worried Song Jiu was that Li Fang and Song Qi and Zhao Pu were kind-hearted. They might be from the Zhao Pu faction. Moreover, this name Song Jiu was known in his previous life, and those who could let him know were not small people.

So Song Jiu became more modest.

Lu Duosun must learn to be experienced in handling government affairs, but Lu Duosun's pride cannot be learned, which must lay a good foundation for the future.

The three of them were humble for a long time. Finally, Song Jiu said: "Mr. Li, you are very good at writing poems. You come to review the poems. Mr. Hu, you are good at parallelism. If you come to review the poems, I am not good at Confucianism. If you don't have long at parallelism, please review the poems."

Hu and Li looked at each other. The Ministry of Rites adopted Song Jiu's suggestion and began to copy the name. The palace examination only copied the name and did not copy it so that the examiner could see the students' handwriting. In fact, this would be convenient for cheating. The copying system must be implemented in the long run. However, considering that the Ministry of Rites passed the provincial examination, it was basically won, and cheating was not very meaningful, and Song Jiu did not give advice.

Influenced by Song Jiu, the score system is also implemented now. Because the strategy was increased by Song Jiu's suggestion, it was only 30, which is slightly lower than the other two points.

Song Jiu has never written parallel prose, but his few small poems spread far and wide. Some people have talked about this and thought that Song Jiu failed to perform several imperial examinations, so they hated parallel prose poetry and essays. Hu and Li also thought so. They smiled and nodded one after another.

In fact, Song Jiu can barely write some parallel poems and essays now, but he cannot be said to be good at it. When he comes to examine the strategy, he must consider whether the viewpoint is correct and can be careless, but if he needs to review the poems and essays, he will definitely make mistakes.

The paper review began, and when the palace examination was reached, there were not many people, with more than one hundred Jinshi and more than two hundred subjects.

The review of the Jinshi Certificate.

Determine the third grade based on the score.

Song Jiu opened the papers one by one to watch. This time, the Jinshi exam came from all over the country, including the south of the Bashu River. Many Cezi wrote in clusters of flowers, and their writing was well written, and they were jewel-like. Especially one of them had a long-term viewpoint, which made Song Jiu admire him. However, when he saw the scores of the poems and essays above, he couldn't help laughing. This person was probably similar to himself, with political vision, but his poems were not good, so Hu and Li gave a very low score.

Song Jiu gave him a full mark with one hand.

There was also a paper that made Song Jiu very satisfied and gave him a high score. The two above scores were also extremely high. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the top scorer. I don’t know who this person is.

But he liked Song Jiu very much for this review, because since then, he has basically become a real civil servant.

It was dusk, and Song Jiu and the other two finished the papers and sealed them up. Song Jiu rode a horse to Hezhou.

After returning to the capital, Song Jiu did one thing.

He saw that casting technology was improving, and some students in high schools became more and more proficient in object learning, so he drew simple principles and related sketches for the academy students to study.

But now there is no copper, and the steel cannon is impossible. The stride is too big. Secondly, Song Jiu is very suspicious of its power, and thirdly, Song Jiu is not clear about the specific technology. It was proposed by him, but Song Jiu does not attach much importance to it.

After looking at it, I went to see the research and development of textile machinery.

Song Jiu attached great importance to it. Once it was successful, even half of the tribes could successfully instigate the rebellion, which was far more powerful than artillery.

It's time to release the Donghuamen results.

After the results were released, all the admitted Jinshi students were brought to the Martial Arts Hall to meet the emperor and the ministers.

Song Jiu was a little curious because he thought of the legend of catching a son-in-law below the list.

After looking at the time, he came to Donghuamen from Zhongshu in plain clothes to watch. He was disappointed and did not see anyone coming to catch his son-in-law. At this time, the Jinshi was still worthless.

But Song Jiu knew in his heart that the situation has been different since then.

Although no one caught his son-in-law, many people came to watch the fun, and they also surrounded the dark and sired people from all over the country.

The number of candidates who won this time was astonishing. Not only were there more than 100 Jinshis and more than 200 subjects. At the same time, Zhao Kuangyi also issued an edict to allow the Ministry of Rites to read the tribute, and more than 180 people who had not won the 15th imperial examination or had not won the 1000 Jinshis or had not won the 1000 subjects. At the same time, there were more than 9 classics, but seven of the elderly were also given three origins. Although the latter was hired, it was not worth much, so I don’t know how Zhao Kuangyi was able to do so.

Song Jiu ran out secretly while on duty, and no students paid attention.

He heard a young man say to another middle-aged man: "Brother Shi Liang. It is beneficial to you to learn the current subject."

"Luck, luck." Middle-aged man said happily.

Song Jiu couldn't help but look at him. He was in his thirties, with a rectangular face and a look. Song Jiu didn't care too much, but observed his demeanor. The young man obviously had a sarcasm, but this person didn't care too much. This demeanor was still OK.

Another middle-aged man said, "Brother Guangbi, you are very talented and accepted in a reasonable way. Although the ranking on the list is high, your career cannot be compared with the ranking on the list. What you need to know is the way of becoming an official."

The young people disagree and say nothing.

The middle-aged man said again: "Guangbi. Think about it again, is Zhao Pu a Jinshi? Song Jiu accomplice?"

"Different. Zhao Xianggong followed Taizu, that was the master of the dragon. Song Xianggong should not underestimate his miscellaneous studies."

"You are stubborn. If Mr. Zhao has no ability to manage politics, how can he be the only one of the ministers for more than ten years? If Mr. Song has no ability to manage politics, why do he have great achievements in the political world wherever he goes?"

The three people argued, which attracted many people to watch.

Song Jiu could not stay any longer, as he would miss the time to enter the martial arts hall.

So he asked, "The names of you three?"

A young man said: "Korean Chinese character Guangbi."

Han Hua? Song Jiu obviously didn't know. Of course, he didn't know more people, and he might not have no future if he didn't know, so he gave in.

"Zhang Qixian, whose courtesy name is Shiliang."

Song Jiu's expression changed slightly. This person was too clear. It is said that when Zhao Kuangyi went to Luoyang, Zhang Qixian stopped Zhao Kuangyi's imperial guards on the street and demanded a plan to govern the country. Seeing this madman, the guards wanted to drag him down and beat him up, so that Zhao Kuangyin could stop him and take him to the palace.

Zhang Qixian pointed out the world and offered ten strategies, including Fen, enriching the people, feudalism, promoting filial piety, recruiting virtuous people, registering schools, registering fields, selecting good officials, being cautious in punishment, and punishing traitors. The general meaning is to take over the Northern Han Dynasty, improve people's lives, arrange royal family members to their respective territories, promote filial piety to the people, establish higher education institutions, allocate land as official allowances, select good officials, enforcing the law should be humanized, and cracking down on crimes should be strict.

It is said that Zhao Kuangyin only agreed to four of them, and Fen agreed to them, and Fumin also agreed. The feudal Zhao Kuangyin did not agree. Isn’t the rebellion of the Western Han Dynasty, Western Jin Dynasty, Southern and Northern Dynasties enough? Dunxiao also agreed that it is good to recruit talents, but Zhang Qixian was pedantic in details, and he did not agree. At that time, there was no Taixue statement, and he did not agree. All the other things were like this.

If Song Jiu comes, he may not agree.

That day, Zhao Kuangyin was in a good mood and actually started arguing with him.

But this person is very stubborn and refuted one by one, Zhao Kuangyin is a little disliked. Zhao Da's personality is actually very strong, which is also the reason why Song Chu did not make good words.

At the end of the fight, Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he asked the guards to drag him out.

According to historical records, Zhao Kuangyin said to Zhao Kuangyi after he came back, "I met a strange man when I was in the West when I was in Luoyang and I can help you in the future."

At that time, Song Jiu had not yet arrived in the Song Dynasty, so Zhao Kuangyi had to force his charge to take charge of Kaifeng affairs. How could he say this?

About Zhao Kuangyin returned to Kaifeng, he felt very funny, so he talked to Zhao Kuangyi about this naughty young man.

I don’t know what this person thought later, but he actually passed the exam and came to the capital again this time.

But Song Jiu knew that this man would be the prime minister in the future, so he nodded kindly.

The last middle-aged man said: "Lu Mengzheng, whose courtesy name is Shenggong."

"Lu Mengzheng..." Song Jiu murmured. With these two people alone, two prime ministers were produced in this imperial examination.

"I'm asking you the best name." Lu Meng said righteously. He thought Song Jiu was also a disciple, but why did he have such a face? You should know that the provincial examination students who can be hired have been having dinner and treating each other for more than ten days. They are very familiar with each other. Those who have not been admitted have been gone home after so many days.

Song Jiu said: "My surname is Song and my name is Jiu, and my courtesy name is Yi'an."

"How come you have the same name and surname as Song Xianggong?"

"Just think I am Gong Gong Song, Lu Mengzheng and Zhang Qixian. I heard what you said just now. I was right. If you maintain this mentality and thoughts, your career will be very bright," Song Jiu smiled, and then returned to the Secretariat and prepared to enter the Martial Arts Hall.

"I'm crazy," another swearer cursed.

The yamen runner who maintained order couldn't help but say, "Bold, how dare you scold Mr. Song."

"It's really Mr. Song."

All the students were stunned.

Next, they looked at Zhang Qixian and Lu Mengzheng with envious eyes. Before they posted the rankings, they entered Song Jiu's legal eyes. Will his career be bad? If they hadn't been waiting for Zhang Bang, they would have made a fuss to ask Zhang and Lu to treat them.

Shortly after Song Jiu arrived at the Secretariat, he brought him to the Martial Arts Hall with the great masters of the Secretariat.

The eunuch began to read the rankings, and the top scorer was Lu Mengzheng. Although he knew the rankings outside Donghua Gate, Lu Mengzheng was still a little uneasy and his tone of speech became trembling with excitement.

But this class of Jinshi is extraordinary, including Lu Mengzheng, Li Zhi, Wen Zhengshu, Zang Bing, Ma Rushi, Wang Mian, Zhang Chong, Song Mi, Lu Youzhi, Zhang Qixian, Chen Shu, Wang Huaji, Lu Guixiang...

Unfortunately, Song Jiu only knew about Lu Mengzheng and Zhang Qixian.

He also gave a banquet at Kaibao Temple.

This is all normal, but it will be abnormal next.

When the banquet was about to part, the eunuchs announced the eunuchs. Those who were first and second-class Jinshi and nine classics were awarded the title of Chief Secretary, Dali judge, or general magistrate of various prefectures. The third-class Jinshi and various subjects were given the Ministry of Personnel to be exempted from the election, and the superior officials were awarded the title of Bo Wei of the Ministry of Personnel. Those who were awarded the title of 500 old fried dough sticks who were not from the 15th class of the 15th class of old people who were awarded the title of the 7th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the 19th class of the

Now Xue Juzheng and Shen Yilun can't sit still.
