Chapter 279 Dog Emperor(1/2)

Zhao Xu stayed in Dali Temple for half an hour, boosted his morale, and left Dali Temple and headed for the Imperial Academy.

The Imperial Academy and the Imperial College are both in the south of the city, on the east side of the Imperial Street, and are already close to the south gate of the Imperial City.

Zhao Xu left Dali Temple and went straight to Yu Street.

Chen Pi followed Zhao Xu and whispered: "Official family, Mr. Su, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, will you have some time to come here. Should you find a place to sit?"

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Call Zhu Qianzhen."

‘This day is really busy.’

Chenpi thought to herself and told someone to look for it.

Zhao Xu walked south on Yu Street, slowly observing the vendors on both sides.

No matter how much the court changes, its impact on the bottom is still limited. Just like in another world, vendors and the people still operate as usual and visit.

"The world is richer than Kaifeng..."

Zhao Xu looked at it and said softly, but he was thinking in his heart that he wanted to find an opportunity to go out of Beijing to see it.

He was actually very vague about the real situation in the Song Dynasty, but judging from the "uprisings" that have started one after another in various places, he was not optimistic.

Not long after, Zhu Qianzhen came. When she saw Zhao Xu, she was extremely happy and tried her best to remain calm. She raised her hand and said, "The villain has seen the official family."

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Take me to see."

Zhu Qianzhen would write a briefing for every move and give it to Zhao Xu, so Zhao Xu knew that Zhu Qianzhen had chosen a good place.

Zhu Qianzhen immediately led Zhao Xu to the place he chose, which was in the center of Yu Street, just follow the way.

"Official, please."

Not long after, Zhu Qianzhen came to the restaurant he bought. There were workers who were decorating it, and the original restaurant was gone.

The craftsman inside "The boss." immediately greeted him with a smile.

"You guys are busy, let's take a look." Zhu Qianzhen waved her hand and said.

"Oh, okay." The craftsman responded, looked at Zhao Xu and others, and turned around and went in.

Seeing that Zhao Xu was about to go in, Chen Pi hurriedly whispered: "Official family, it's too messy here, so don't go in."

"It's okay." Zhao Xu laughed and went straight in. At first glance, he saw the counter. There were three windows on the counter. It was very high. Even Zhao Xu had to cushion his feet and stretched his head to reach.

"The counter has been changed, at least five must be low. Put a stool outside for guests to sit. If you feel it is unsafe, the windows are a little more solid, and more guards are sent..." Zhao Xu said.

In fact, for now, Zhao Xu is not worried about someone coming to rob. It takes hundreds of kilograms to 10, 20, and it is really difficult to have no carriages. But with carriages, it can't even hide it in the small Kaifeng City.

"Yes." Zhu Qianzhen responded quickly.

Zhao Xu walked inside, and Chenpi and a bunch of guards were uneasy and followed behind with vigilance.

"A safety door is set up here, which is easy to go out and difficult to enter. Here is a counting room, accounting room..."

"The money treasury should be underground, try to be as large as possible..."

"About the counting method, I will teach you to find some young people around fifteen or sixteen years old, regardless of gender, to train them well..."

"If the ticket number is to be expanded to the whole country, talent is the most important thing, and you must be cautious..."

Zhu Qianzhen listened carefully, remembered with a respectful look on her face.

The busy craftsmen around saw it, and there was no strangeness. It was obvious at first glance that this young man who looked ordinary in dress but had a special temperament was the owner of their employer.

But they all pretended not to see it and did things honestly.

Zhao Xu looked at the first-looking ticket number and felt a little excited. If it really developed, its effect would be unimaginable!

Zhu Qianzhen stood aside, saw Zhao Xu's longing look on his face, and said with a smile: "Official family, how many people have written about the name of the ticket number? Do you listen?"

Zhao Xu looked at him and said, "Tell me."

Zhu Qianzhen bowed, paused again, and said, "Wantong Money House, Dasong Biaohao, Wanquan Money House."

Zhao Xu looked at Zhu Qianzhen and wanted to laugh.

He had many titles on "Military Reform" and were asked by Xu General and Zhang Qi to change them back. Zhu Qianzhen probably didn't like it or didn't understand the meaning of the ticket number, so she used one ticket number and two money houses.

In the 'Military Reform', Zhao Xu could understand General Xu and Zhang Feng had good intentions, but when it comes to the matter of the Piao number, Zhao Xu decided to stick to his own opinion and said, "The Royal Piao number is decided like this."

"Royal ticket number..."

Zhu Qianzhen chewed for a while, then raised her hand and said, "Yes, the villain has written it down."

With the word "royal", many things can be smooth and save a lot of trouble!

Chen Pi quietly walked to Zhao Xu and whispered: "Grandpa Su, Grandpa Zhang is here."

Zhao Xu nodded, looked at Zhu Qianzhen and smiled, "I will ask Mr. Su to write it myself. You can decorate the place first."

"Yes." Zhu Qianzhen bowed.

Zhao Xu took a look again, and when he left the restaurant, he saw Su Song and Zhang Dun was already standing outside.

The two of them looked at this place with different expressions and seemed to have some confusion in their eyes.

Zhao Xu pressed his hands down and stopped them from saluting, saying, "Let's go to the Imperial College and take a look."

Su Song and Zhang Dun were not sure why Zhao Xu called them out of the palace, but it was definitely not as simple as Taixue.

The two followed Zhao Xu and walked south along Imperial Street.

Su Song is a master of silence, and Zhang Dun is not a person who talks a lot, so Zhao Xu is even more so. There is nothing wrong, he would rather be alone in a daze.

The three of them have their own thoughts and go all the way to the Imperial Academy.

Chen Pi followed Zhao Xu, feeling a little strange. It seemed that after waking up from the official family's illness, many things became different from others.

The crowd soon arrived in front of the Taixue School, and saw a group of young scholars rushing away at the gate. They were holding all kinds of things in their hands, and some even threw feces at the "Taixue" stone carvings.

The Imperial Academy was quiet and the gate was tightly closed.

Zhao Xu stood up, took a deep breath, and seemed to smell the stench. He frowned and said, "What's the reason?"

Su Songben was already discouraged and did not intend to pay attention to political affairs anymore. After listening for a moment, he said: "There are many rumors outside now. It is rumored that the Political Affairs Hall will abolish the imperial examinations and set up a large academy. The Imperial Academy is the highest institution of learning. This angered these scholars."

Zhao Xu looked at the group of young people smashing the door, his eyes became colder, and said, "My will not work either?"

Su Song bowed, Yu Guang glanced at Zhang Dun without saying anything.

Zhang Dun stared at the group of people with a stern expression and said, "Your Majesty, I think these people are not all scholars."

Zhao Xu looked at it carefully and found that some people were different, their behavior and appearance were not like scholars, and their clothes were even more inappropriate.

Zhao Xu nodded gently and said, "I have read the course drafted by the Ministry of Personnel. There are many problems. I will make some modifications. I will go to Chuigong Hall tomorrow to discuss it. Will Zhang Qing's family take away the Spring Examination Questions?"

Zhang Dun turned to Zhao Xu, his tone was calm and firm, and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial examination should be important to civil and military affairs, which is inconsistent with Your Majesty's strategy of strengthening the army and strengthening the country. I plan to pay equal attention to civil and military affairs in the imperial examination to achieve Your Majesty's civil and military achievements."

Su Song listened, his face tensed and sighed softly.

The ancestral system and the ancestral law do not exist, and the emphasis on literature and martial arts set by the ancestors will become a thing of the past.

The more Zhao Xu smiled, the more he had a capable subordinate, it was really comforting.

Academies need to be built, and the imperial examinations at the source must also be changed. As long as the imperial examinations change, all scholars in the world must follow suit!

Zhao Xu thought for a moment and said, "The proportion of the imperial examination is mainly literature and arithmetic, supplemented by the six arts of gentlemen. When I arrived at the Imperial Academy, I could be specialized. Confucianism is a Chinese study, but it cannot become the criterion for governing the country. Party struggles start with "academic" and fall into the vortex of power. Such things must be avoided as much as possible in the future. Academic is academic, and government affairs is government affairs."

The "new and old" party struggle was an academic dispute at the beginning. Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Su Shi and others, because of their different academic views, were ultimately reflected in their strategy of governing the country.

This battle continues to this day.

Su Song was silent, but Zhang Dun had his eyes burning.

By reforming the imperial examination, he can cultivate enough people who support the "new law". In the future, generations will be cultivated under the "new law". Who can repeat the "new law" again?

Zhao Xu turned to look at Zhang Dun and said with a smile: "The Zhang Qing family's sudden change will be a lot of trouble after the Spring Examination."

Zhang Dun's expression became a little stern and said, "I want to see what they can do!"

Zhao Xu glanced at Su Song who was silent and turned to the chaos in the pre-Taishou school not far away, and said, "The first dean of the Imperial College is Shen Kuo. After the Spring Examination, the Political Affairs Hall announced the imperial examination reform plan and set up a broad academies to increase authority and budget for the Imperial College. It is also necessary to encourage local schools to build schools, from north to south, and gradually advance..."

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, Zhang Dun raised his hand and said, "I will receive the order."

Just as Zhao Xu was about to speak, he suddenly saw an acquaintance coming out of the Imperial Academy, pointed at him and said, "That's it, Xu Xinglong?"

Xu Xinglong was the exam-oriented student who debated with Cai Jing in person at Jidi Tea House on the abolition of the imperial examination.

Su Song, Zhang Dun and others looked up and saw Xu Xinglong coming out of the Imperial Academy and having a fierce debate with the scholars outside alone.

But soon, Xu Xinglong was caught off guard and was splashed with feces, and everyone surrounded him and cursed.

"Bah! Are you a scholar? The court's treacherous slander came out and did everything evil, and you actually argued for them!"

"Why are you against Zhang Dun's attempt to abolish the imperial examination? How did you make a turtle shrunk later!"

"I think you are a lackey to curry favor with Zhang Dun. He promised you what kind of official position you have after the Spring Examination!"

"Bah, you're so naughty! You don't have any backbone at all, it's simply a shame for us!"

Xu Xinglong was splashed with feces, his face was covered with, and he could not open his mouth at all. He could only have a blue face and said nothing, allowing these people to surround him.

Fortunately, he was covered in feces, so these people couldn't beat him up.
