Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

Cui Xie doesn't understand the high-level meteorological issues of Xiaobinghe himself. It is even harder to explain it to Li Zhaoxian and Zhu Zhishan, the two romantic heirs of poetry and literature. He simply took his own line, listed data, made reports, wiped off the things on the whiteboard with a damp cloth, and wrote down line by line by year.

"I entered the Imperial Academy in Chenghua for 23 years. I learned to draft edicts. I didn't write too much, but I have also read many tax-free autumn grain edicts prepared by teachers and predecessors. I will write them for you to read. Look--"

In September 23rd of Chenghua, the Shaanxi drought was used to exempt Lintaowei and Gongchangwei from the summer tax autumn grain; in October, the drought was used to avoid the autumn grain in Yongping Prefecture; in the twelfth lunar month, the drought was used to avoid the autumn grain in Wuchang, Huguang.

In the first lunar month of Hongzhi, floods will be used to avoid salt lessons in the second well of Heilang, Yunnan; in June, famines in Zhejiang and Zhejiang will be exempted from tribute; in July, famines will be exempted from summer taxes in Anqing and Luzhou; in October, Henan will be exempted from drought Kaifeng five prefectures and Ruzhou Xia tax exempted Wuchang and other guards from farming due to drought; in November, they were exempted from Henan five prefectures and Ruzhou’s autumn grains and horse grass due to no households.

Hongzhi two years, three years...

This is only for tax-free grains, not counting those years of disasters. According to the law, only 10% to 20% of the grains are paid to the household department, and the rest will be intercepted by the local prefectures for disaster relief.

A row of floods and droughts, a row of exempt summer taxes and autumn grains, and a place where "the people are in poverty", "the people are extremely poor", and "escape households". The two talented men were frightened and shouted: "How can you not provide relief!" "

It is one thing to have a relief fund, but no matter how much relief it is, it will not be able to match the damage caused by the famine in the past year.

Cui Xie said something for the shot "Yu Si", and brought the two people's focus back to the disaster itself: "Just by reading the edict on exemption from food, we can see that famines have occurred frequently in various places in recent years. Natural disasters lead to human change. We don’t care about rain, drought, cold or heat, and we can only start small, breed and increase fertility, in order to make this land produce more food."

Zhu Zhishan put on his glasses and looked at him carefully, and said with emotion: "In the past, I only knew that adults had the heart to educate students from all over the world, but now I know that adults don't just remember my scholars, but also worry about billions of people. Zhishan is not talented and thin. Some furniture, after returning to their hometown, should perform charitable actions, and live up to Master Cui’s teaching today.

Cui Xie smiled and said, "I just cite some examples and never taught you what to do. What you think is out of your own kindness, so why thank me?"

It's a pity that he couldn't leave home when he was filial piety, so he couldn't bring two talented men to see the hybrid broad beans he asked someone to do in the spring. But there is also one thing that can be seen from home-not the chicken manure accumulated by the small vegetable garden outside, but a few elm willows planted on the courtyard wall.

The lower part of the tree is covered with a layer of white lime water.

Cui Xie proudly introduced: "This lime water has the effect of killing insects and keeping warm. If it is applied to trees in winter, there will be fewer insects on the trees in spring, and the leaves and elm money will grow better."

This method was seen from the trees on the side of the road when he was a child. In later years, the trees were mostly covered with nutrient needles, and lime water was gradually rare.

He was busy studying to earn money and didn't want to engage in landscaping. Now he has to study agricultural production, so he took these old things as usual, but they contained...the scientific theories that he didn't understand anyway.

Because he figured out that lime water can kill insects, he asked people to dissolve a lot of lime water to eliminate the poison in the chicken coop, duck house, and pigsty in Zhuangzi. Some quicklime was mixed in the manure and the accumulated fertilizer water before, and the quicklime boiled when it touched the water. It became high temperature and absorbed water. The insect eggs and E. coli in the fertilizer were probably burned to death.

After tossing around, the pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks weren't dead, and the fertilizer and water did not burn the seedlings. This lime disinfection method became his proud work.

It's a pity that Li and Zhu are both weak scholars with ten fingers that do not touch Yang Chunshui. They can't realize Cui Xie's passion for conquering agricultural technology and preparing for the people. He also knew this, and didn’t want the two talents to be embarrassed, so he picked up an interesting one and said, “It’s a pity that you came two months late and didn’t catch up with the time when the yuqian came down. The dealer would make yuqian rice with fresh yuqian. Steamed with white noodles or milled rice noodles, add some sesame sauce and vinegar sauce when eating, it is especially fresh. Yuqianer can also add rice to make porridge, which is clear and sweet; if you add more noodles, the dumplings will be steamed. When eaten as dry food, it is a rare delicacy in early spring."

Yu Qian Fan! How many students want to eat elm money after finishing this lesson!

Cui Xie had eaten it until he wore it in the Ming Dynasty, and he hasn't been tired of eating it until now. What he eats is his feelings!

However, the romantic talents after the two officials did not understand the beauty of this feeling. Listening to Cui Xie's praise of the benefits of yuqianfan, he only had deep affection for him.

Cui Hezhong kept his filial piety in the country, and was so hard that he could live on wild vegetable elm money!

I have lived so hard, but I still don't forget the hardships of the people, how impressive is this heart!

Zhu Juren and Mr. Li ate a few meals of fresh wild vegetables, dried vegetables, tofu, and wild mushrooms, and sang some new poems full of peasant charm. Together with the collection of poems made in Jingli, they were given to Cui Xie to enjoy. Afterwards, they went home and spread the touching stories of teaching the villagers to read, study "Agricultural Economics" and teach the people farming during his staying teaching.

When Mr. Xu heard about it, he felt a little emotional: "If such a person who is doing practical things got a few lower in the exam, it would be better to send him to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In the future, he will be released as a supervisor to go to various places I don’t know how many local people can benefit from the implementation of new farming methods."

Mr. Liu Ge said lightly: “Now it’s a'non-Hanlin not entering the cabinet.' It would be a pity for a person with a sense of society to be just a rumor and teller. The old man thinks that he is better at the center than running around. If he can write the New Agricultural Economics, how difficult will it be to implement it in various states and counties?"

Mr. Liu Ge actually has such a cherished junior, and this junior is not the kind of villain who loves to favor his boss. This is really an anecdote from the court.

Xu Pu couldn't help but glance at Shoufu more.

Qiu Jun smiled and intervened: "Cui Hezhong is still in the countryside, and told him to teach two years of agricultural economics to see the results. When he comes back from his filial piety for three years, the prince may not be able to be crowned and out of the pavilion. The place."

As he was talking, he suddenly sighed: "Seeing that these young people are already able to do things for the country and the people, my old man is a little uncomfortable in staying in the court. Forget it, after the year is over, I should go too. Ben is begging for an official job."

He was seventy-five years old. He was nearly ten years older than Taizu’s official appointment. He also worked as a bachelor for so long. He did his best for the emperor and the court. , Do you still want to be the youngest member of the pavilion for a lifetime?

He gave birth to a retreat, and called Xu Pu a little concerned: "I am only eight years younger than Qiongshan brother, and it should be an ancient age. How long will I have to stay in the old position of the pavilion? Brother Qiongshan retires first, this old bone of mine will be retired and returned home in a few years."

Liu Shoufu, who was about the same age as Xu Pu, remained unmoved and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

However, after Qiu Jun returns to his hometown, one of the four senior patrons will be vacated. Although the three cabinet elders are the normal configuration of the cabinet, now Liu Shoufu is obsessed with health preservation, and he no longer impeaches people or asks questions. The two cabinet elders are struggling to support each other. Now it is not when the imperial court was silent during the Chenghua period, and the three pavilions were able to cope with the past, the emperor Hongzhi was a rare diligent monarch, and he had to promote a young man to the pavilion.

Xu and Liu, the two elders who came from the Hanlin bachelor, also proposed a name:

Li Dongyang.

I have been in the Hanlin for many years. I am familiar with government affairs and literary crowns, and I have the heart of a national scholar. During the Chenghua period, he could impeach the **** and Wan Guifei at all costs.

Is there anyone in the court who is more suitable to join the cabinet?

Elder Qiu Ge has always been kind to Li Dongyang, and he often drank and wrote poems together. There are still two wall poems written by Dongyang when he was drunk at home, and he has a deep understanding of his ambitions. After hearing the nomination of the two elders, they also silently admitted.

The three reached a tacit agreement and looked at the first assistant Liu Ji-the only possibility and opposition to this arrangement was Liu Ge.

However, Mr. Liu Ge actually changed his previous style this time. He neither pressured nor procrastinated, and arranged more actively than everyone else: "And first promote Dongyang to a bachelor of attendance, and also a servant of the Ministry of Etiquette! Only after entering the Ministry of Etiquette can you enter the cabinet. It’s not enough if you're too long and Shaoqing."

If the minister wanted to be promoted, he had to be pushed by the official department, and the matter was pushed into the hands of the official department Shangshu Gengyu. Li Dongyang's assistant servant was just to add the title to the cabinet. Regardless of the practice, there is no need to discuss it, just add a few candidates to accompany the bachelor. The six ministers soon held a court promotion, and the emperor Hongzhi gently approved the word "quasi", and he pushed Li Dongyang to the position of bachelor of attendance. Regardless of the Hanlin Academy, he was in charge of the emperor.

After Qiu Jun invited him home for a drink, he shook his hand and said, "I will be an official and return to my hometown, and Xi Ya will join the cabinet after me. You must do it well and don't take me down."

Li Dongyang was sentimental and excited, and sighed: "Duke Qiongshan actually wants to be an official...there is someone else in this cabinet who deserves to be an official."

Qiu Jun looked at the sake in the cup and nodded slightly: "Actually, I also want to leave you and the young people behind with a positive situation."

He turned around and played the emperor, saying that the crown prince is very clever, and since he has reserved the position, he should be fastened and crowned early, and selected mentors to teach. The emperor had great love for this prince. Although he said, "I will wait until the prince is older," he actually felt that he should choose a famous teacher to teach him earlier. Don't let him be as unknown and valued as he was when he was a child.

In February of the eighth year of Hongzhi, the emperor stopped delaying and ordered the Ministry of Rites to give a crown to the five-year-old crown prince. The Ministry of Etiquette pulled out the ritual notes of the prince's time in the current booklet, and submitted it with slight amendments to set the matter.

The crown prince has been set, and he is about to be crowned. In the future, he will be elected to the court to teach the prince so that he can be thrifty and tolerant. Daming will be a prosperous age for decades. And next year, Cui Xie should come back after the full filial piety period. If he is a man who knows the scriptures and the people's livelihoods to teach the prince, what else can he worry about?

Looking at the state of affairs today and thinking about the future prosperity, Qiu Jun realized that he had no regrets in his official career in the past few decades. After returning to his private affairs, he wrote a letter of begging for official duties.

Along with this letter, Liu Ji, the impeachment chief and assistant Liu Ji, was old and indifferent, suppressing words, nostalgic for power, and unbearable as the chief assistant.

The emperor Hongzhi did not agree with both of them.

Qiu Jun felt that he was in poor health and wanted to be an official. The impeachment of Liu Ji also became more diligent, one after another, one after another. Xu Pu and Liu Jian knew their intentions well, and the supervisors also took the opportunity to avenge the Yushi supervisors who were suppressed by impeaching him in the early years of Hongzhi, and dozens of papers a day flew into the center.

With such intensive impeachment, Liu Shoufu had to be pleaded guilty, begging for officialdom, wronged and asked the emperor to be the master without any defense.

Back to the mansion, the murderous and resentment on his body could no longer be concealed. He patted the table and said, "Older Qiu Jun, I didn't even think of me invoking him into the cabinet and deliberately ruining my future! This time, if I could. If you get through it, you will definitely send them all back to your hometown and return to Yushitai!"

After sending it out ruthlessly, I was afraid that too many people would write to me this time. The saint refused to tolerate him any more, and he was busy thinking about how to win back the heart of the emperor.

The children of his family persuaded: "Now that the noble one is like the Zhang family, why don't you ask Zhang Guozhang and the two uncles to speak?"

He dare to use those two uncles?

The **** Li, who was used by the emperor from the East Palace, was impeached by asking two sheets to play together. The lesson from the past is in the new comic book "Youth Jin Yiwei"! These two people are now fishing around for unsuspecting people to give them gifts, wishing to show up in the court again, how could he take the initiative to send them?

These two national uncles should not be used lightly, unless they can start with someone close to them and move them with affection. Looking towards the center, the only person who can control the two uncles, and even ask them to help speak good words, is the one who has just been promoted to the superintendent of Jinyiwei...

wrong!

There is another person!

In front of that person, what is Xie Ying!

He is really old, why didn't he immediately think of the two teachers of the uncles, Cui Xie who was guarding the system in Qian'an!

He quickly got to his confidant and asked, "What works has Cui Hezhong published recently?"

Cui Xie Shou will keep the system until the twelfth lunar month of this year. During the period of the system, he has been studying agricultural economics with great concentration and came up with many ways to make a good harvest. These are all things that the emperor likes. If Cui Xie is still in the court, he is not afraid of anything, but now Qiu Jun is in trouble, and Cui Xie has no time to return to the court, so he can only borrow one of his writings and dedicate it to the palace to show his caring about agricultural affairs. His luck is gone.

Of course, as long as his poem is reliable, after Cui Xie returns to court, he will be transferred to official positions and returned.

Liu Shoufu's calculations were fine, and he asked people to hurry back to Qian'an on horseback, and asked Cui Xie for a few articles on farming methods for himself.

Then he thanked the guests behind closed doors, put on the indifferent posture of the prosperous white cotton, and let the science and technology officer attack.

Only five days later, the confidant who rushed to Qian'an for hundreds of miles rushed back to Liu’s house empty-handed and said bleakly: “The grandmother of Cui Shi talked about the passing of his family. There is no auspicious grain. And the articles on farming methods he wrote before are copied to his teacher Li Xueshi. Although I insisted on a copy, I’m afraid I can’t give it to the palace..."

Liu Shoufu's face was pale, and the cotton roots, which had been impeached, seemed to shrink a bit.

With this confidant, Mr. Tan, the first person in charge of ritual supervision, entered Liu's house and did what Huaien's companion did in the past to persuade the chief assistant to return home.

If he could immediately present an article teaching the people to plant high-yield soybeans and wheat; if he could immediately produce a stalk of auspicious wheat with two or three ears and more than ten seeds; if now there is a Cui Xie to follow him The governor’s family begged for love and asked the governor to enter the palace and beg the emperor...

However, none of this, he could only sigh deeply, hating Tianyi in Qiu...not in Liu!
