If there is a drought, then the solution is definitely not to build the Great Wall or build earthen forts, but to build water transport for irrigation, divert sea water into the river, then divert river water into the river, and finally divert river water into the river for irrigation.
This is agricultural profit.
Before there were large dams in the modern world, artificial rainfall was a key issue that had to be considered in ancient times.
Fang Zhengyi’s starting point is also based on water conservancy and farming.
But if you don’t understand history, then you don’t know what events happened somewhere, or where water conservancy construction was done.
The most important thing is geography.
Where is the sea? Where is the river? Where is the river? Where there are many lakes...where there is abundant water, and where there is widespread drought. I don't know what kind of trouble this is going to cause.
To put it bluntly, policy theory is actually very similar to papers in the previous world. How can a paper be discussed without examples to prove it? There's no way to tell.
A drop of cold sweat dropped from Fang Zhengzheng's forehead.
Are you going to fall off the list
While thinking this way, the sound of a golden gong finally rang out, and then, a row of imperial envoys wearing black official uniforms with the word "imperial" printed on them were seen walking over from a distance.
The leader looked slightly younger and was wearing a fourth-grade court uniform. He was Su Qing.
Today, Su Qing looked rosy, holding a book of names of candidates taking the palace examination in his hand, and led a group of imperial envoys to the front of the talented people.
All the talented people stopped talking at this time, and they were all waiting quietly for Su Qing's words.
It is said to be a lecture, but in fact, it means to talk about the entrance rules before the palace examination, as well as the history of the palace examination and the discipline during the examination during the palace examination, etc.
"The founding of the Great Xia Dynasty..." After Su Qing walked in front of the talented people, he started talking without any nonsense. After explaining all the rules of the exam, Su Qing also looked at the time: "Auspicious time It’s almost time to enter the imperial examination!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your instruction!" All the talented men bowed and thanked them one by one.
Of course Fang Zhengzheng would not bow stupidly like these people. He is an adult, so why should he thank him? They are both fourth-grade official titles. Just be so willful.
Like Fang Zhengzheng, there were not a few people who did not bow. There were about ten people, including Yan Xiuhuan, Wu Feng and others.
From this point of view, at least a dozen people who participated in the palace examination this time have hereditary titles.
Of course. Fang Zhengzheng is not included.
The entrance time for the palace examination has arrived, and all the talents have undergone identity verification again. After all, the examination room for the palace examination is in the palace, and the Holy Emperor is here in person. It’s not too much to double-check.
Different from the identity verification when entering the palace, this time you have to undergo information verification from the emissaries, mainly asking questions about your experience, and finally, a blood test.
It is probably also because of what happened in Shengtian World during the last imperial examination.
Fang Zhengzheng had seen this kind of blood test method in Nanshan Village when he was six years old. It was not too surprising. This blood test was mainly to check whether there was demon invasion, and it did not test bloodline, so It went faster than the time in Nanshan Village.
In a short while, all the candidates who took the palace examination had finished.
Next. This is the official entrance. The imperial envoys from the Royal Academy will personally lead the candidates to the White Jade Square at the main entrance of the Jinluan Hall.
Fang Zhengzheng became a little curious at this time.
Because, he knew that Nangong Hao seemed to be participating in this palace examination, but judging from the reactions of everyone present, it felt like Nangong Hao's existence.
"Is Nangong Hao's presence so low?" Fang Zhengzheng didn't ask much because he remembered that Nangong Mu's presence was quite low during the exam.
I don’t know how Nangong Mu is doing now
Fang Zhengzheng looked towards the south. He didn't know if that was the location of the Nangong family. He just looked in that direction unconsciously.
…
Soon, under the leadership of the Royal Academy envoys, all the talents arrived at the entrance of White Jade Square. Two rows of guards wearing golden armor guarded both sides of the entrance.
They all looked extremely solemn.
Fang Zhengzheng had been to the palace before. Of course he knew that the guards in the palace were always very tight. It could be said that there was a post every ten steps and a sentry every hundred steps. However, there were obviously more guards today than usual.
Stepping through the gate of White Jade Plaza, the front of the building opened up.
White Jade Plaza. True to its name, all the floors are completely paved with white jade, surrounded by white jade fences, with exquisite carvings of dragons and phoenixes.
Today, there is a golden high platform in the center of the White Jade Square, which is paved with golden silk satin. A huge dragon umbrella stands on the high platform, blocking the rising sun from the sky.
Under the high platform, a field was laid out with red silk. On the field, there were almost two hundred redwood desks lined up, with a distance of at least three or four meters between each desk.
All right…
A wide view, so far apart.
Fang Zhengzheng was almost certain that cheating under the emperor's nose would be harder than climbing to heaven, not to mention that there were twenty or thirty imperial envoys standing at the edge of the venue.
"Let's go." Yan Xiu looked at the field in front of him and said.
"Yeah." Fang Zhengzheng nodded.
At this moment, other talented people also walked towards the mahogany desks. Different from the previous exams, this time, everyone sat forward in unison.
It feels like sitting forward to eat.
Fang Zhengzheng casually glanced at the mahogany book tables, and soon found two good positions, facing the dragon's mouth in front of the Jinluan Palace. Moreover, the view was wide, which was a good position.
Since he doesn't have much confidence in his strategy, Fang Zhengzheng also rarely talks about Feng Shui this time, hoping that things can turn around and bring good luck.
Just as he was about to go over, he saw a fat man running towards one of the two positions like a pig, at an extremely fast speed.
"Stealing the position?" Fang Zhengzheng came here unprepared today. He was almost nervous about getting water from fifteen buckets. If the position he was looking for was still snatched away, this sign would not be ideal.
He raised his hand and a handful of nails flew out.
"Ouch... why are there nails on this seat?" As soon as the fat man sat down, his butt immediately bounced up like a rubber ball.
The other candidates were all startled by the fat man's actions. They all looked back at their chairs, thinking that this was a test for the palace examination.
However…
There are no nails on their chairs.
"It's a good start, what a good start!" Fang Zhengzheng was very satisfied with the effect after the fat man sat down. He leisurely walked to the chair, took the nails back into his arms, and then slowly sat down.
"Fang Zhengzheng. What are you doing?" The fat man was obviously unconvinced.
"I didn't do anything. I'm just bullying you. Do you have any objection?" Fang Zhengzheng has always been very straightforward.
"You...you dare to bully me? Do you know who I am? I am from Nanjun..." When the fat man heard Fang Zhengzheng's words, he immediately became angry and patted his chest hard as he spoke.
"Want to fight?" Fang Zhengzheng was too lazy to wait for the fat man to finish speaking. Ask directly.
"right!"
"Report it, he wants to hit me!"
"What are you doing? This is a literary test. It's noisy. Be careful and you will be disqualified!" An imperial envoy saw this scene and immediately came over.
The fat man's head shrank, and his aura suddenly weakened. He immediately shook his head at the emissary and signaled that he would never do anything. After the emissary left, the fat man looked at Fang Zhengyi hatefully.
"Hmph, Fang Zhengzheng. Just wait for me!"
"What, you want to fight?" Yan Xiu walked up to Fang Zhengyi at this time, gently shook the Shanhe Qiankun fan in his hand, and looked at the fat man with an indifferent expression.
"No... I don't dare." The fat man's expression changed and he immediately ran away.
The other talented people watched this scene and sat aside one after another. No one came forward to deliberately provoke Fang Zhengzheng.
In this way, Fang Zhengzheng calmed down, leaned his body on the chair, and tilted his body again. I chose a very comfortable position and closed my eyes to relax.
"work?"
"Water conservancy?"
Fang Zhengzheng tried hard to recall the articles he had learned in his previous life. Dayu controlled floods? Uh, it doesn't seem appropriate, then. How about Sun Wukong making a big fuss in the East China Sea Dragon Palace
All right…
Something's not quite right.
How about a poem of sympathy for farmers? It was noon on the day of hoeing, and sweat dripped from the soil.
well!
Fang Zhengzheng felt that his mind was a little confused. After much deliberation, he couldn't find any classic strategies for controlling drought, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a golden gong sounded again.
All the candidates immediately sat upright one by one. One gong is the entrance gong, and these two gongs are the holy driving gongs, which represent the arrival of the holy king.
Sure enough, after the gong sounded, a voice also rang.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The sound came from far away, and soon a huge sedan appeared not far away. It was made entirely of gold and had several golden dragons carved on it. The golden dragon's body was engraved with complex cloud patterns.
"This cloud pattern..." Fang Zhengzheng's eyes brightened slightly again. This was the first time he saw the dragon sedan of Holy Lord Lin Mubai, but it was the third time he saw this kind of cloud pattern. The first time was in In the world of Canghai on Canling Mountain, the second time was on Wu Feng's jade flute.
three times
This is no longer a coincidence.
Fang Zhengzheng felt that this cloud pattern must have some special meaning. It was related to the Holy Monument of Heaven in the Canghai Realm, and Wu Feng's master was heard to be one of the Four Saints.
As for the Holy Lord Lin Mubai...
There is also Saint in the name.
The name of this thing should be called Holy Pattern!
Okay, just a random guess. Fang Zhengzheng felt that it would be faster to ask Yan Xiu directly after the essay test. This kind of random guess is really unnecessary.
The sedan arrived under the high platform of White Jade Square, and the sedan door was gently opened. Then, Lin Mubai, wearing a golden dragon robe, also slowly walked out of the sedan.
At this time, Fang Zhengzheng also noticed that there was a young man standing next to Lin Mubai's sedan, dressed in white, but strangely, there was some bright red underneath the white clothes.
They were bright red like blood, but their shape was very special. They were all pentagonal, and they didn't look like blood stains but like maple leaves.
"Nangong Hao!"
"I didn't expect that he was already in the palace!"
"I'm still walking with the Holy One!"
All the talented people also noticed the young man at this moment. After seeing the young man's appearance clearly, the talented people who had been quietly meeting behind the desk finally couldn't help but start talking.
"Nangong Hao?" Fang Zhengzheng's eyes once again noticed the young man in white. He found that compared with Nangong Mu, Nangong Hao's appearance was obviously completely different.
If Nangong Mu feels bland and looks like a piece of wood standing among the crowd, then Nangong Hao feels bright.
This kind of brightness is not the kind of bright brilliance like the sun, moon and stars, but the brightness that shines from the inside out.
Or to use a more precise word.
bright!
Sword-like eyebrows, dark eyes, thin lips, and not much expression on his face, but it always gives people a vague feeling of being out of the world.
Holy Master Lin Mubai had already stepped out of the sedan chair at this time. He seemed to have noticed the discussion among the talented people below. He looked at Nangong Hao beside him and nodded lightly.
Nangong Hao returned the gift.
However, this gift was not a gift from a monarch and his ministers, but a gift from a junior to an elder. After returning the gift, Nangong Hao also walked towards the mahogany desk below.
sit down.
He didn't say a word from beginning to end.
The Holy Master Lin Mubai looked at Nangong Hao and said nothing. He just walked lightly onto the high platform, and then slowly sat on the dragon chair on the high platform.
At this time, the civil and military officials following the sedan also came over one after another, headed by Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping, and lined up on the left and right sides of the high platform.
All the talented people held their breath.
The biennial Taoist examination, today's palace examination is the key to final success or failure. Many people choose to become officials after passing the imperial examination.
However, in this way, the preparation for the palace examination is not sufficient.
Of the two hundred candidates, not many actually became officials. Some were because there were no official vacancies, and some were because of their yearning for the imperial examination.
Anyone who studies doesn’t want to reach the highest position.
Palace examination.
This is the last high mountain. As long as you climb over this high mountain, there is an endless open land in front of you. All the hopes of two years are bet on this last moment.
How to avoid making people feel nervous
What kind of questions will be asked in this palace examination strategy discussion? This is the question that everyone is most concerned about, because it also represents whether their hard work in the past two years has been in vain.
Betting on a winning question and not betting on a winning question.
The difference between the two can be said to be the difference between heaven and earth.
"Boom!"
The third golden gong sounded at this time, which also means that the literary test of the palace examination has officially begun, and all the answers will be revealed soon.
All the candidates were extremely quiet at this moment. Everyone looked at the Holy Master Lin Mubai on the dragon throne, waiting for him to speak. (To be continued.)
