Chapter seven hundred and seventy first trouble to Zhongshu Province
Gao Qi was the person who took over Sun Yan's duties after Sun Yan became the chief envoy.
This arrangement is very interesting.
It was an accident that Sun Yan became the director of Zhongshu, but it was definitely not an accident that Sun Yan promoted Gao Qi.
Because Gao Qi is a direct descendant of Zhang Ximeng. After Song Lian, he served as a Hanlin bachelor, and then was promoted to the minister of punishment. Now he is sent to Shandong as the chief envoy. As long as nothing happens, he will return to Yingtian in the next few years and serve as minister.
Or being promoted to join politics is a matter of course.
In a word, Sun Yan has begun to cultivate his own power.
Everyone can still understand this, so Wei Guan, the director of Fudan Academy, warmly received Gao Qi and said that his parents were here and he was very happy.
This old parent is very interesting. Although Fudan Academy is located in Qufu, it is directly under the Ministry of Education, so there is no need to care about Gao Qi.
However, considering Gao Qi's special status, Wei Guan still remained polite.
Gao Qi smiled, "Wei Shanzhang is in charge of Fudan Academy and educates talents for the country. The people of Shandong are also grateful for the grace. It's my turn to thank Shanzhang... I don't know how many talents have been admitted to Fudan Academy this time.
?”
Wei Guan smiled and said: "There are more than 970 people, which is less than a thousand. Among them, there are almost 600 people from Shandong. They can be regarded as outstanding people and beautiful people. They are worthy of celebration."
Gao Qi clasped his hands happily, "That's true, but I don't know which school has more admissions? Which school has merit in teaching?"
Wei Guan paused for a moment and continued: "On the left and right are Jinan Prefecture, Yidu, and Yanzhou Prefecture. These places are also the top ones over the years, and there are not many surprises."
Gao Qi laughed and said: "Sure enough! But there are no exceptions? How did I hear that there is a small place where many candidates came out this year!"
People from Fudan Academy naturally knew what Gao Qi was referring to. Eighteen people passed through Xiahe Village this time, ranking seventh among all rankings. Judging from the number of people, Dengzhou, Dongping, and Dongchang were all sent there.
later.
This achievement is astonishing. You must know that in the past Xiahe Village, no one entered Fudan School. They had a middle school establishment, but there were not enough teachers. For example, in the arithmetic class, a teacher who taught literature took the place.
The teacher who teaches literature is still an old Confucian who is not familiar with new learning. Asking him to teach arithmetic is a complete waste of time and he can't even follow the textbook.
For such a middle school, eighteen candidates suddenly appeared, broke through the encirclement, and entered the ranks of Fudan School. It was indeed a bit shocking.
Wei Guandao: "Since the chief envoy mentioned it, I won't hide it. This Xiahe Village is indeed strange. We are going to try it out one more time to see its true quality before talking about it."
Gao Qi remained calm, "So, do you think there is cheating in Xiahe Village? Cheating in the examination room has always been a big deal. Do you want to investigate thoroughly?"
Wei Guan was startled. If there was indeed cheating in the exam, it would be difficult for him to explain it, so he smiled and said, "There is no conclusive evidence, but something is abnormal. Taking the test one more time is in line with the rules of our school."
Gao Qi smiled and said: "As far as I know, for so many years, Fudan Academy has not had any rules for additional exams. And what are you going to do for additional exams? But to prepare students?"
At this time, a teacher stood up and said, "Reporting to the Chief Minister, we are going to assess the students' writing proficiency this time and test an article. Since they were not informed in advance, everyone is the same and there is no problem."
Unexpectedly, Gao Qi shook his head and said: "You can't say that. I still know a little about essays. Since ancient times, there has been no first place in essays and no second place in martial arts. When Prime Minister Zhang reformed the imperial examination, he wanted to reduce the proportion of essays. Now Fudan Academy requires
It is inappropriate to use an article to decide the fate of students! And I think school affairs need to be dealt with properly. If you have evidence of cheating in the exam, then cancel the exam and re-open the exam. If not, admit students based on their grades.
You should never fool people with extra tests. Wouldn't this ruin the reputation of Fudan Academy?"
As a famous talent, Gao Qi was far superior to Zhang Ximeng in terms of literary talent. Indeed, no one dared to refute his comments on the issue of selecting scholars for his articles.
And what he said later made sense. Fudan Academy gradually fell into passivity.
The teacher who stood up just now stood up again.
"Commissioner Gao, when selecting scholars for Fudan Academy, it seems that we should obey the wishes of the Ministry of Education."
The implication is that you have no qualifications to interfere.
Gao Qi was not in a hurry and said with a smile: "If you are not in my position, you will not seek to govern. I am now the chief envoy of Shandong. Xiahezhai Middle School and the candidates in Xiahezhai are indeed the people under my rule. If they are taking the exam
I have been treated unfairly, and I will also write a letter to Zhongshu Sheng to ask for an explanation. If Zhongshu Sheng cannot give me an explanation, then I will have no choice but to write to the Supervisor of the Country and to Your Majesty!"
Gao Qi mentioned Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang, which made everyone startled and the atmosphere became much more tense.
Gao Qi insisted on speaking for the students in Xiahe Village, which surprised Wei Guan.
He looked solemn. In fact, in terms of rank, he was not afraid of Gao Qi, and his qualifications were even higher than Gao Qi's.
Wei Guan served as the magistrate of Hangzhou. After being transferred to Yingtian, he was gradually promoted to the Imperial Academy to offer wine.
He belongs to Li Shanchang's family. Later, because of his old age, he applied to be sent abroad to serve as the mountain director of Fudan Academy. He was originally a third-grade man, and he and Gao Qi, the chief envoy, were exactly the same. There was no way to say who was superior.
Low.
"Commissioner Gao, you don't know. Fudan School cultivates top talents who are outstanding in all aspects. They are to assist His Majesty and govern the country. Not just anyone can come in. Even if they pass the exam, after admission, they are basically too
They are bad and have bad habits. If you bring those bad habits into the school, you will bring bad habits to other people. As the mountain leader, I have to be responsible for the future of the school!"
The smile on Gao Qi's face disappeared and gradually became serious.
"Chang Wei, I don't know if you think so, or if all the teachers at Fudan Academy think so! If you all think so, I think this matter is not as simple as just a few students... You judge it based on your background.
Man, what should our Majesty say?"
Wei Guan was suddenly startled and his face darkened, "Chief Minister Gao, what you said is wrong. Your Majesty has been given by heaven, how can he be compared with ordinary people?"
Gao Qi sneered and said: "I heard that the first draft of the first part of His Majesty's writing on life experiences has been sent to various places. Your Fudan School has not received it, right?"
Gao Qi continued: "You don't know what His Majesty stands for! There is no divine instruction, it's just a matter of following the times."
At this time, the teacher stood up again, "Commissioner Gao, it is good for your Majesty to write books... but as a minister, you should know that my emperor is wise and extraordinary. Moreover, Commissioner Gao is writing books for those country children.
Tell me, do you think there will be someone like His Majesty among them?"
What this guy said is really heartbreaking.
Gao Qi smiled and said, "Who are you? Can you tell me?"
The man smiled and said, "My name is Cai Ben, and I am a teacher at Fudan Academy. I have just inspected the population and land in Shandong, and wrote a memorial and handed it over to Your Majesty."
Gao Qiru woke up from his dream and said, "It turns out to be you! I remembered that your memorial was very insightful, and His Majesty also liked it very much. It also informed various ministries and yamen. We will use this as a reference for the next reforms."
Cai Ben smiled slightly and said, "I am honored to receive the approval from the Chief Minister. In fact, based on my wishes, Your Majesty should not increase taxes in order to appease people's hearts."
Prosperous times bring prosperity, never increase wealth!
Gao Qi suddenly frowned, "Cai Ben, according to the content of your memorial, doesn't it mean that the imperial court's land tax will be greatly reduced?"
"That's why we don't need to increase taxes to calm people's hearts!" Cai Ben said suddenly.
Gao Qi was stunned, then laughed.
"Cai Ben, you are really interesting. You put so much effort into writing a memorial, just to scare His Majesty! I can tell you that you are wrong, very wrong... Our Majesty will not
You are frightened. The next plan of the imperial court is to redistribute the land. It will reduce the land tax and make up for it with commercial taxes. In addition, there will be tax reform... Are you a little disappointed after hearing this? "
Cai Ben's expression suddenly changed. The court's intention was indeed beyond his expectation.
Don’t you still understand what you wrote?
Why is Your Majesty so stubborn? Once the land is redistributed, tens of millions of land taxes will disappear in an instant. The best way now is to fix the taxes in the name of prosperity and grace, so there is no need to worry about reductions.
Already.
Everything is taken into consideration, both inside and outside.
Why is it different from what you think?
At this moment, Wei Guan also frowned, "Commissioner Gao, our school wants to add another trial. If you feel that the article is inappropriate, you can adjust some content, but no matter what, you cannot let just anyone enter."
School. You also need to know that Fudan School is supported by taxes from the imperial court, and good steel must be used on the blade!"
Gao Qi took a deep breath and said, "Chief Wei Shan, as I said before, if you want to just have one more trial and drive those students out of the door without giving them a chance to enroll, I, the parent official, will not agree to it.
.I will study books, study them, and argue with reason!"
Wei Guan took a deep breath and said, "In this case, I can only ask Prime Minister Sun to make a decision."
The two parties broke up unhappy, and Gao Qi went directly to the students in Xiahe Village. Everyone who participated in the exam, including the students who failed, were also waiting here.
They are eager to know the result. Is it just wishful thinking on their part, or is it God who pays off the hard work?
It's time to find out.
Gao Qi arrived in person and encouraged everyone, and the students' hopes became stronger.
It's just that Gao Qi has been staring at Zhang Shuning. No one else knows him. He often goes to Zhang's house. How could he not know him? It is indeed this person.
Gao Qi took the opportunity to talk alone and went to the house with Zhang Shuning.
"Does Prime Minister Zhang know about this?"
Zhang Shuning shook his head slightly, "I didn't write a letter. I don't think our Ming Dynasty will be so bad!"
Gao Qi was startled and nodded, "Okay! In that case, I will write a letter and deal with them. At worst, I will lose a chief envoy. I also want to see what the Zhongshu Ministry will do!"
