Volume B Chapter 56 The dust has settled (First update, please vote for me!)
"After we have obtained some materials from the Dusi, Xingdu, Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office in Shanxi and Shaanxi, it is proved that most of the borderland reclamation in the Jiubian area, except Liaodong, is no longer sustainable, due to weather factors.
The most important thing is that the farmers in the settlements can’t even sustain their own livelihoods by raising their own crops, so how can they support the border troops? This is supported by some relevant newspapers, and we are definitely not lying..."
Xu Xie began to make concluding remarks.
"..., then let's talk about how to deal with the problems and dilemmas faced by China and France, that is, how to solve the problem of military food and even logistical support for the nine sides. We have some ideas, but they are limited to our own limited level and what we have obtained.
There is not much inside information, so we can only have a general strategy. First, recover the Hetao and use active strategic offensive to contain the Tatar threat to our northern border wall. Once we occupy the Hetao area, then we will be like the Tatars.
Having a sharp knife on your back can greatly reduce the pressure on Taiyuan, Datong and even Xuanfu..."
This is a proactive offensive strategy proposed by Feng Ziying. Of course, Feng Ziying also made it clear that this strategy would be difficult to implement without substantial improvement in the financial and food supply capabilities of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Second, completely change the grain transportation system in Kaizhong France. The imperial court will support a group of private business gangs to be responsible for transportation. This military grain support mechanism will be established based on a fixed-time, fixed-point and profit-making model. We believe that as long as it is profitable,
, businessmen will be willing to do it, regardless of the method. If the complex process of purchasing and storage is abandoned and it is just transportation, as long as it is supplemented by corresponding regulations, as the model matures, transportation costs can be realized.
Significantly reduced,..."
"……,third,……"
Seeing Xu Xian pointing out Jiangshan and scolding Fang Qiu on the stage, Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi looked gloomy and said nothing. Even the students brought by the two behind them were originally excited and eager to try. Seeing the two
The elders were in a bad mood, so they calmed down quietly.
"..., the shortage of food in the north has been a chronic disease for hundreds of years, but according to the news from the Ministry of Industry and some places in Fujian, Shandong and Guangdong, some new crops have been reported from outside, although the taste may not be suitable for us people in the Zhou Dynasty.
, but when it comes to choosing between starving to death or having a full stomach, we think the taste is not a problem. No matter how bad it is, it is better than the bark, grass and root Guanyin soil, right? If it can be promoted in the North or even Jiubian, then the transportation cost is okay
Got a big drop,…”
To be honest, these ideas and concepts are quite superficial, or full of unrealistic descriptions. Many of them are just outlines. If they are to be put into practice, they are either not feasible or require constant modification, adjustment and adjustment. But you
You must know that this is a group of young students who have not really been exposed to government affairs.
The eldest was only in his early twenties, and the youngest was only fourteen or fifteen years old. They were actually able to point out the country like this. This made everyone in the audience have mixed feelings, especially those idle officials in the six departments.
Accompanied by rounds of applause and cheers, the first round of debate finally ended with the final arguments and entered the judging stage.
But for Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi, this is simply sitting on pins and needles.
Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen both noticed their restless expressions, but this was exactly what they wanted.
Qi Yongtai and Wang Yongguang both smiled and gave high praise to both sides. The final winner was the Xiyuan team.
They started from the specific reasons for the current predicament of Kaizhongfa in a unique way and looked for improvements and alternative means to defeat the positive side's point of view, which made all the previous preparations made by the Dongyuan team useless.
The shock was not limited to Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi, but also Gu Bingqian, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and other officials from the six ministries.
Their perspective on the problem is different from that of students.
The students marveled at this wonderful and intense way, and they had to consider the issue from such a way of interpreting and discussing current policy theory.
It's a close-quarters fight, hitting the nail on the head, and then fully showing the pros and cons of each side's viewpoints, enough for everyone to get a glimpse of the whole picture.
Although the views and opinions of these students are still relatively superficial, and many are even unrealistic, or they do not understand some of the operations and setting rules of the internal policies and systems of the imperial court, this is indeed the most intuitive and closest way.
It can also cultivate students' interest in current affairs and their ability to interpret and process it.
Maybe they haven't thought it through yet, but as time goes by, Qingtan Academy's various measures will make them realize that certain changes seem to be taking place subtly.
When the second question was drawn, Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi finally couldn't sit still.
The second question is about the advantages, disadvantages and feasibility of the strategy of recovering the Loop.
Although this question has nothing to do with Jiangnan Shilin, it is undoubtedly more targeted, and this issue has also caused countless debates within the imperial court in the past ten years.
There is no need to say much about the strategic significance of the Loop area, but whether it can be recovered, whether it has the ability to recover it, whether it can be defended after it is recovered, how to solve the logistics support supply, how to deal with the relationship with the Tatars, these issues are also all
There have been countless quarrels between the cabinet, the Ministry of War, and even the Fifth Army Governor's Office and the Shaanxi Governor's Office.
I didn't expect that this question would appear in the question bank issued by Qingtan Academy this time, and it was actually taken out.
There is no doubt that this will be another unprecedentedly fierce debate.
Both Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi realized that they could no longer sit down like this. This was almost like the two of them endorsing Qingtan Academy again, or at least boosting their momentum, which was exactly what they were opposed to.
Seeing Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi getting up, Qi Yongtai ignored them. Naturally, there was an official accompanying him to deal with it.
Qi Yongtai was surprised that Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi could persist until the end of the first debate. If it were him, he would probably have to leave before halftime.
This is obviously incompatible with the path of Jiangnan Academy. They are diametrically opposed to each other. How can they still stay here to cheer for their opponents?
This has nothing to do with the overall situation. Although it also attracted the attention of some students and officials in the front row, Qi Yongtai controlled the rhythm very well.
He hung a huge map of the Loop on the podium. Although it was very rough, it was basically able to be clearly understood by everyone.
Maps are a new thing these days. Not to mention ordinary students, even ordinary officials have rarely been exposed to it. Although this map is rough, it can explain many problems under the thick lines, especially the several-shaped Yellow River.
deep impression.
Qi Yongtai also personally introduced the current situation in Hetao and some strategies of the previous government in this area, which immediately attracted the attention of most people.
Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi actually knew that Qingtan Academy's use of major military affairs such as the Loop Strategy, which had been disputed for decades, as a debate topic was purely a gimmick, just to arouse the interest and attention of the students, but you have to admit that this
He's very clever with his skills.
Looking at how absorbed the students were, not many of them noticed the departure of several of them. Even a few of his disciples frequently looked back to hear Qi Yongtai's introduction and the next round of debate.
"Dongxian, you are neglecting your own merits and misleading others." Miao Changqi walked out of the venue and said angrily to the other party.
"Oh, why did brother say that at that time?" Guan Yingzhen responded with a smile after taking some time to relax: "This is just a debate, why did it rise to such a high level? Doesn't Jiangnan Academy have debates? I see the classics over there
There are a lot of debates over righteousness."
"Dongxian, don't talk about others. You know what we are here for. What you are doing is just to flatter the public. It is not beneficial to the country. It is even more harmful to the students. The foundation of students' learning is still the classics and meanings. This cannot be tolerated."
Change!" Zhu Guozhen's expression was much more solemn, and he looked directly at Guan Yingzhen.
Guan Yingzhen knew it was time for a showdown, and Qi Yongtai had already discussed it with him.
This principle cannot be compromised, and a showdown is inevitable, but the other party may not be monolithic, and Miao Changqi and Zhu Guozhen may not have their own thoughts.
"Brother Wenyu, at that time, brother and brother Yu knew what you meant, but you have to see the general trend of the imperial court's reform of scientific examinations. The foundation of the classics and meanings will not change. We all understand this, but there must be some changes in form and content.
Change, especially in terms of content, is a general trend. If we want to go against the trend, we may be the ones who suffer. As far as I know, Tonghui Academy and others have already made a fuss about current policy.
We have close relations with the Ministry of War, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and even Long Jinwei, and we have obtained more information. We are also increasing the teaching of current policy theory, but we are advancing in this way, so that you can
It’s just that I’m not used to the time.,…”
Zhu Guozhen took a deep breath, knowing that what the other party said was true.
Tonghui Academy has always been the best place for the children of Wei Town to study, and the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office also take the best care of Tonghui Academy. Even the outstanding children of Southern Wei Town officers choose Tonghui Academy to study, and the Fifth Army Governor's Office
The government will also provide certain support, plus the support of Long Jinwei, so it is normal for them to take the lead in this regard.
"Shu Zi is not enough!" Miao Changqi walked away with a few disciples.
"Dongxian, in your opinion, this cannot be changed?" Zhu Guozhen was not so impulsive, he asked with a cold face.
"Brother Wenyu, it's just one or two subjects, and I know that there are some differences between Chongwen Academy and Baima Academy. You should be more knowledgeable than you were at that time. He is a person who is at the top of his game. There are still two years, and there is still time. Moreover, I think the emperor
It may not change too much in the next subject, because the emperor has already made a gesture in the first year of Yonglong and this year's Qiu Chun, and he also needs to slowly smooth over some dissatisfied opinions."
Guan Yingzhen's words made Zhu Guozhen slightly moved.
What they are most worried about is that the next subject will continue to change drastically, and the Jiangnan side will suffer too much. If the next subject basically continues the pattern of the autumn of the first year of Yonglong and the spring of the second year of Yonglong, then although it will be uncomfortable, but
But it is not unacceptable, especially since Chongwen Academy has made some adjustments under its own arrangements.
"Dongxian, you will take advantage of this." Zhu Guozhen exhaled and said dullly.
"Brother Wenyu, you Jiangnan Academy have been taking advantage for decades, and we can only watch. Now you are taking advantage of just a few subjects, and you all feel uncomfortable?" Guan Yingzhen shook his head, "What's more, with your foundation, the last two
After passing three subjects, you can recruit me again."
Guan Yingzhen did not mean what he said, but Zhu Guozhen had this confidence. The writing style in Jiangnan was not comparable to that in the North. There were too many scholars, far better than those in the North, so naturally there were more seeds for reading.
When Zhu Guozhen said goodbye and left, Guan Yingzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
This major event has been decided. As long as Zhu Guozhen has different ideas, it will be difficult for Jiangnan Academy to work together. Then the resistance to the imperial examination cannot be too strong, and the promotion of the imperial court will not change. Then Qingtan Academy will
