"Next year's key projects are education and land reform!" Zhu Youxiao emphasized again after pouring out all his ideas.

After listening to all the emperor's ideas about the imperial examination, Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong were deeply impressed. It is true that a saint comes out every five hundred years. From the pre-Song Dynasty to the present, it is exactly five hundred years. They did not expect that his Majesty would be the one to do so.

"I admire your Majesty's talent," Xu Guangqi said in admiration.

The same is true for Sun Chengzong, but his eyes were vicious and he saw a problem that has not been solved until now, "Just, Your Majesty, how should I take the exam next autumn?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became suffocating. Zhu Youxiao and Xu Guangqi looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what to say for a moment. When they talked about government affairs, they seemed to have such a talent that they would always go off topic.

A pragmatic technical discussion unfolded into a pragmatic theoretical and national system discussion.

"Next year's autumn..." Zhu Youxiao rubbed his head, feeling a little troubled.

"Your Majesty, let's continue as usual. We should let the cultural offices of each province organize the organization." Xu Guangqi suddenly interjected.

The chief officer of the Department of Literature is the best to be appointed. He can be directly transferred from the previous tixue from each province. Therefore, the title of this position has not changed and is still called tixue.

"Forget it, let's leave it like that. Everything remains the same. As for Chunwei..." Zhu Youxiao thought about it and said, "The examination is still divided into subjects, but the subjects have been changed into liberal arts, martial arts, science and overseas subjects.

Already."

As for the military examinations, which were jointly known as the civil service examinations, they had been discontinued as early as the re-establishment of the Metropolitan Government. The military examinations were originally held by the Ministry of War. However, after the Metropolitan Government usurped the power of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War was no longer qualified to hold military examinations.

There is no need for martial arts examinations to transport talents since there is a Royal Military Academy in the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

What's more, now that the martial arts subjects in the provincial examination are integrated, there is no need for martial arts examinations. As a result, martial arts examinations exist in name only and gradually disappear.

After listening to the emperor's division of examination formats, Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi couldn't help but think deeply. Liberal arts, science, and martial arts are all easy to understand. This was reflected in the previous imperial examination. It's not surprising. It's just that these overseas subjects are worth it.

People think deeply, overseas, overseas, today's overseas, are all dominated by Westerners.

"Haha, you two have misunderstood. There are not only Westerners overseas, but also our dependent countries and territories." Zhu Youxiao laughed.

"Hehe." The two old foxes smiled and said nothing. Does your Majesty really think so? I'm afraid it may not be possible!

"I don't care about the content of the imperial examination, but the format needs to be changed." Zhu Youxiao ignored the two of them and said to himself, "You have learned a lot about Indian numerals. They are far more accurate than what we used in the past. I plan to introduce them into the imperial examination."

In the scoring of the test paper, the total score is one hundred points. Each question has a prescribed score, and then the score, paper surface, handwriting, conception, etc. are given according to the candidate's answer to determine the score. In this way, I think

It needs to be much more precise than the classification of A, B, and C.”

There are many contents in the imperial examination, including classics, ink meanings, eight-legged essay, poetry, policy theory, etc. There are tests for each, and the divisions are as follows: A-level upper, A-level middle, A-level lower, B-level upper, A, B, and C upper.

The division between middle and lower levels is only nine levels, which is relatively rough and cannot distinguish between high and low.

Now that the hundred-point system has been introduced, it does not have these problems.

"Okay, let's do it this way. After hearing this, Xu Guangqi immediately realized the benefits of this and immediately made the decision.

The emperor proposed, and the heads of government agreed. In this way, the score system and the college entrance examination system, which were hated by later generations of students, were born. While continuing to provide a large number of talents for the empire, they were also criticized by countless people.

revile.

There are all kinds of things like high scores and low abilities, the only scores are exams, etc.

"Okay, the imperial examination issue has been solved. You can go down if you have nothing to do. I want to take a rest." Seeing Xu Guangqi's agreement, Zhu Youxiao immediately relaxed and wanted to go back to see his daughter and take a rest.

However, he thought too easily, and saw Xu Guangqi looking at him in surprise, "Is everything okay? Your Majesty, how can it be okay? This has just begun. The imperial examination was just a casual question from an old minister. I didn't expect to get the result, but

I didn’t expect that His Majesty would just deal with it directly for me.”

Poof!

Xu Guangqi's words were nothing more than a sword strike directly on Zhu Youxiao's chest. He looked at the old fellow opposite with a slightly sad and indignant look. He really wanted to shout, "You are too old-fashioned, and you will be defeated."

However, at this time, Sun Chengzong also joined in the fun and said, "Your Majesty can't just leave like this. I still have many important things to discuss here."

It was impossible to survive this day. If I had known this, I might as well have led the troops outside, so I could be at ease. Zhu Youxiao had an intuition that the sky turned dark and the whole world became dark. He had an intuition that he might not be able to get out all day long.

This is the palace.

"Tell me, is there anything else?" Zhu Youxiao sat down sadly, looking weak, and asked Xu Guangqi to ask the question.

"That's it, Your Majesty." Xu Guangqi flipped through the pages and pulled out a memorial. "Last year when North Korea attached it, His Majesty sent an official document, saying that a nationwide postal code accurate to counties and villages should be formulated for mailing letters. This

The project is huge, so I entrusted it to the head of Yima Court to come here."

"After a year and a half, this postal code has been successfully formulated. Correspondingly, with the progress of the imperial power to the countryside plan, Yimayuan has also expanded to villages and towns. The postal plan mentioned by His Majesty can almost be implemented, and Yimayuan has also

Accordingly, it’s time to be promoted to the post office.”

Xu Guangqi handed over the memorial. After Zhu Youxiao took it, he looked through it carefully. In front of him was a form. The form was very thick and there were many numbers. According to the division of provinces, prefectures, counties and townships, a numerical code was compiled.

Including the two Zhili prefectures, Jingshi and Tianjin, they also have their own codes.

"There is something wrong here." Zhu Youxiao flipped through the pages and raised a question. "Shanghai County should not be assigned to Songjiang Prefecture. This place is important, no less important than Tianjin. I intend to set up Zhili Prefecture and re-code Shanghai.

However, there are no other problems. I will make the announcement according to this after the first lunar month."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm sorry." Xu Guang started jotting down his pen.

"There is also this one, Your Majesty. This was written by Lai Si Xing himself. It was an expansion based on the postal mail system mentioned by Your Majesty." Xu Guangqi handed over two more memorials.

"Inspired by me?" Zhu Youxiao took the memorial with great interest. He was most interested in this kind of memorial. What kind of sparks would be produced when modern knowledge and the unique cognitive system of the ancients collide?

Will a better system be born than in later generations?

When he opened it, Zhu Youxiao was a little stunned. He rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself in disbelief, "Ni Ma, does this mean that the logistics system will appear in advance? Will Taobao and Tmall appear in the future?

What?"

The idea of ​​Lai Si Xing is very simple. Since letters can be mailed, what about packages? Packages can also be mailed. Anyway, a large number of letters require horse-drawn carriages to travel from one place to another. So use more horse-drawn carriages to increase the transportation volume.

It is also possible to ship packages. With the expansion, packages can be sent, but what about people? Can people also send packages?

Ah, no, it's not mailing, it's shipping, specifically for transporting customers.

It is very difficult to travel far away in this era. It is not only a road problem, but also an address problem. It is very difficult to find a place, as well as food and accommodation. Traveling far away is very expensive and time-consuming. But these problems are very important for Yi

This is not a problem for the horse racing institute. They can transport large quantities and have their own stations on various roads. Full board and lodging are not a problem, and safety is guaranteed.

In this way, by earning money from the transported goods and guests, Yimayuan does not have to allocate the transportation costs of official documents and military orders from the Ministry of Finance every year, and maybe it will still make money in the end.

The concepts here are easy to understand for future generations. It is nothing more than a collection of postal services, passenger transportation, and freight transportation. As for the profits involved, no one in future generations will be able to understand it. Don’t look at it as a cumbersome matter.

, but once it is completed, the profits are astonishing, and it also controls the most important circulation channels, which enhances Zhu Youxiao's ability to control the private sector.

The head of the Yima Academy came to Sri Lanka. This person is very awesome. Zhu Youxiao secretly formed the impression that people who can draw inferences based on the postal system he established are rare in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, for this

He was just a little surprised by the suggestion, but it couldn't be called surprised. After all, this was based on his overhaul of the world's roads. Only when the Chi Road and the Straight Road were built, Lai Si Xing's suggestion could be used.

However, Zhu Youxiao rarely saw memorials with such an innovative level. Therefore, with a little expectation, he opened the second memorial, and this view shocked him even more.

Lai Si Xing's second memorial is still about transportation, both freight and passenger transportation, but the transportation method is different, not a four-wheeled carriage, but a sea ship, or its true identity as a cruiser, a clipper ship.

I don’t know where this guy got the clipper ship data and understood the meaning of twelve knots per hour. He talked about it in the memorial. The clipper ship is so fast that it far exceeds the land speed, so it is engraved on the seaside.

Opening a shipping company to transport goods and people will greatly facilitate transportation between the north and the south. It will not only strengthen the empire's control over the south, but also reduce transportation costs.

These things have actually been done, so Zhu Youxiao was not surprised, and even a little disappointed, but the following words shocked him beyond measure.

The speed of a flying scissor boat is rare in the world. It can travel faster than a galloping horse in one day, and it does not distinguish between day and night. The places it reaches are unimaginable. From the capital to Yunnan, Gansu and other border areas, it is eight hundred miles.

It also takes half a month, and normal travel takes more than a month. However, at this time, where can the flying shear boat reach?

Luzon? Java? Or Mancajia?

With this powerful tool, we only need to use it to open the flights that already exist along the coast, and dispatch clipper ships to cruise back and forth at regular intervals to transport people and goods, so that the people will have the illusion that the islands are like inland. Wouldn't there be countless islands on the seaside, all of which are inland?

The territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Nowadays, there are more than hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty. Although the land is vast and can accommodate it, how can your Majesty's thoughts and concerns not be for future generations? The land is fixed but the population is unlimited. Now that the flying scissors are out, it is God's gift to your Majesty to immigrate overseas.

A treasure land is where the blessings of future generations lie.
