"Are there flowers on my face?"
Kou Ji asked suspiciously.
"Ah..."
Zhao Zhen had already put down the test paper in his hand. Hearing what Kou Ji said, he coughed slightly: "I have never seen my fourth brother bow his head to someone..."
When Lu Yijian and others heard Zhao Zhen's words, they nodded together.
Who is Kou Ji
A person who knows everything.
The person who must report to Javier.
He rarely asks for things, and can always use his own power to reverse situations that others find impossible.
Da Song can have today, he can be said to be indispensable.
The wealthy generals of the Song Dynasty and the gradual strengthening of the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were the result of Kou Ji.
He has always been cruel to his enemies, and those who offend him will almost always suffer his revenge.
It was such a person, and now he bowed his head to others, or to an official with a lower status than him.
Kou Ji heard what Zhao Zhen said, and said with a calm expression: "Is this a bowing? This is not a bowing. As long as someone is right, as long as someone says something good for Song, I will accept it with a humility.
We cannot feel that we are omnipotent just because our position is high.
When the manpower is poor, the power of one person, ever wishing, can't compete with the power of a group of people.
Teamwork is the foundation for Da Song to become stronger.
If you feel that you are in a high position and that everything you do is right, then something will happen sooner or later. "
When Zhao Zhen heard Kou Ji's words, he nodded in agreement.
He has a deep understanding of this.
No one in the Song Dynasty has a higher status than him, and no one in the four seas has a higher status than him.
But he never considered himself holy as a god.
When he should be humbly accepting advice, he will definitely be humbly accepting advice.
When Lu Yijian and others heard Kou Ji's words, they nodded in agreement.
"Continue to check the paper..."
Zhao Zhen moved his wrist and gave an order.
Lu Yijian and others continued to lie on the table to read the papers.
After rigorous review by several people, all the test papers have been read.
Chen Yaozuo arranged the test papers according to the number of circles and presented them to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen changed the position of five of the top two test papers.
When Lu Yijian and others looked at it, their eyes widened.
Lu Yijian almost said without hesitation: "Officials, is this wrong?"
Zhao Zhen mobilized the test papers of Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and others.
Lu Yijian and others knew that Ouyang Xiu and others came from the Kou Mansion.
Kou Ji had a debate with Chen Yaozuo on the spot for the test papers of Ouyang Xiu and others.
Now Zhao Zhen moved the test papers of Ouyang Xiu and others to the front, and Lu Yijian and others felt that Zhao Zhen's move was taking care of Kou Ji.
In order to take care of Kou Ji, Zhao Zhen was selfish in the ceremony of discussing talents. Lu Yijian and others naturally found it inappropriate.
Zhao Zhen calmly stared at Lu Yijian and others and said: "I know what you are thinking, and you must feel that I am taking care of the fourth brother's face by putting Ouyang Xiu's test papers in front.
actually not.
I have a deep friendship with my fourth brother, but only personally.
I will not confuse political affairs with personal relationships, and the fourth brother will not confuse political affairs with personal relationships.
The reason why I put Ouyang Xiu in front is because they should be put in front.
At the beginning of Zhenbei's conquest of Xixia, Hexi lacked people to govern.
I intend to send scholars from the Imperial College and Imperial College to Hexi.
However, none of the scholars from the Imperial College and the Imperial College was willing to go.
They feel that they are not in official positions, do not take my salary, and there is no need to share their concerns for me.
They feel that going to Hexi to do things will delay their schoolwork.
Just when I had a headache for this matter, Ouyang Xiu and others put aside their schoolwork and took the initiative to ask Ying to manage Hexi.
Ouyang Xiu and others all came from Wenchang Academy.
I discussed with Kou Gong, the head of Wenchang Academy, and sent them a salary.
But they didn't take any cents.
When they were in Hexi, they helped Li Gong implement a policy of enriching the people.
As a result, Hexi lost 300,000 mu of loess and 300,000 mu of woodland.
When they returned to Beijing, Li Gong sent me a letter, telling me that the deserted yellow land has now become a large piece of woodland. The trees have not grown yet, but they have already bear fruit and are very sweet.
Li Gong has already built several wine workshops next to the woodland to use those fruits to make wine. I believe you will be able to drink Hexi's fruit wine in the near future.
They have created 300,000 mu of woodland, which can help us raise at least more than 50,000 people.
These more than 50,000 people not only no longer need to worry about food and clothing, but the fruit wine produced can also bring a large amount of taxes to the court.
A large amount of taxes can help the court raise many people.
I have no choice but to reward them for their merits to the court.
They are missing one circle and cannot enter the first one, so I will use their credit to change a circle for them.
Many of you Aiqing were elected officials in the imperial examination, and you should know what ranking means in the imperial examination.
I re-rank them when they have one more circle.
Do you Aiqing have objections? "
Zhao Zhen said that for this reason, Lu Yijian and others naturally couldn't object.
People get the rankings for credit, not the rankings for no reason.
What should Lu Yijian and others care about
Besides, changing the rankings was originally Zhao Zhen's unique privilege. Even if he named a paper with only one circle as the first name, Lu Yijian and others could only persuade them, but could not make decisions for Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen was willing to explain to them in detail, and it was already very benevolent.
Lu Yijian and others shook their heads together.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen told Chen Lin: "Then copy the rankings one by one, and the list will be published tomorrow."
"Hey..."
Chen Lin agreed.
The examination papers have been reviewed and the ranking has been determined.
Kou Ji and others also dispersed.
The next day.
It was the day that everyone in Bianjing city most looked forward to.
Donghuamen rolls the name, the royal street praises officials, and then there is a Qionglin feast.
Early in the morning, Kou Ji arrived in front of Donghua Gate.
The scholars who participated in the palace examination yesterday waited in front of Donghua Gate early.
The people who joined in the excitement also rushed to the Donghua Gate.
After Kou Ji arrived, Qi Qi saluted Kou Ji.
Kou Ji bowed his hand back.
Afterwards, Kou Ji, under the eyes of everyone, gave a salute to the palace and said loudly: "It's auspicious time, please announce the list..."
The eunuchs passed Kou Ji's words to the Chuigong Hall one by one.
Zhao Zhen, who was sitting high on the Arch Hall, shouted.
"Xuan!"
The announcement officially began.
"First place, Xiangzhou Anyang Han Qi!"
"..."
"First place, Xiangzhou Anyang Han Qi!"
"..."
The golden armor soldiers sang again and again, and finally spread Chen Linxuan's announcement out of the palace.
When Zhao Zhen interviewed Han Qi, Han Qi should have left a good impression on Zhao Zhen, so Zhao Zhen finally placed the top spot on Han Qi.
Han Qi heard his name, tidyed up his clothes, walked up to Kou Ji, and saluted Kou Ji.
Kou Ji returned the gift, and Han Qi stood behind Kou Ji.
Then came Ouyang Xiu, Tanhua Wen Yanbo and others.
Bao Zheng and Su Xun are too young, have they ever gone out for experience, although the articles they made during the palace examinations, although there is something to say, after all, there is no Han Qi and others that are more relevant to the real situation of the Song Dynasty. People didn't make it into the top one, but ended up at the bottom of the top two.
But even so, they are happy enough.
Seeing one by one Shinke Jinshi stood behind Kou Ji, and most of them came from Kou Mansion.
Someone murmured sourly.
"Only Koumen exited Jinshi..."
This time, Enke has admitted three hundred jinshi, the top two, all from the Kou Mansion, and the top three are almost a foil.
It's not an exaggeration to call them a jinshi.
Kou Ji didn't care about it, nor did he pay attention to it.
After the announcement was finished, he took the new jinshi into the hall to face the saint.
Kou Ji took the Shinke Jinshi into the Chuigong Hall. After the second round of interviews, Zhao Zhen gave the Feifu, Zhuhua and other things, and rewarded them each with 200,000 yuan (200,000 pieces). Copper coins).
The champion, No. 2 and Tanhua, under the wait of Gong'e, put on scarlet official uniforms, with big red flowers on their chests, and hats with palace flowers on their heads, and they went out of the palace and performed royal street praise.
The most glorious thing for a Jinshi is this moment.
Under the attention of millions of people in Bianjing, show their glory.
After being sought after by 10,000 people, they swaggered through the market, and the limelight was the same.
More importantly, when they were exaggerating officials on the streets, almost all the women in Bianjing City would pay attention to them.
Some daring ones will also drop all kinds of tokens of love to them when they are praising officials on the street.
Such as purse, Zhu Hua, jade pendant, hydrangea and so on.
At this time, no one cares about the face of the problem, but many people regard it as an elegant matter.
While Han Qi and others were praising officials on the street, Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen were conspiring in a side hall of the palace.
Sitting in the middle of the side hall, Zhao Zhen said with a little emotion: "Those Jinshi, now should be the time to be proud, right?"
Kou Ji sat aside and nodded slowly.
Zhao Zhen sighed and said: "They don't know at all, they will disappear in front of people in the next three to five years and stay in the library to turn the books."
Kou Ji said frankly: "This matter can be regarded as a meritorious matter, just like studying history. When the matter is completed, the officials can promote them as appropriate."
Zhao Zhen said dumbfoundedly: "I know the number of those books. With only three hundred of them, it will probably take decades to finish those books."
The ancients were meticulous in doing things, especially when it comes to writing books, they can be meticulous to the point of heinous.
There are bound to be many differences in the collision of the two languages. To translate the contents of those books perfectly, it is necessary to work hard.
Hard work takes time.
Kou Ji heard what Zhao Zhen said and said with a smile: "They are just translators of some of the books, not all of them. The knowledge in those books is very much, very complex, and very broad.
Suddenly flowing into our Da Song Dynasty will inevitably cause a huge impact.
So the minister planned to divide those books into different categories.
One type of translation, one type of introduction.
They only need to translate part of it, and after they have completed it, they will teach Da Shi Wen to the next group of people.
It goes back and forth, no matter how many books it has, we can finish the translation. "
Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "The old wisdom of the foolish man who moved the mountain?"
Kou Ji smiled and nodded.
The ocean of knowledge has no end, but there are books that record knowledge. As long as it takes some time, many books can be translated.
Zhao Zhen thought about it for a moment, and asked, "Which type of books does Brother Si plan to start translating?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Medical book!"
Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji in amazement, "Medical book?"
Kou Ji slowly nodded and said: "I originally thought of starting translation from geography books, but there are many agricultural books mixed in geography books. Agricultural books are now translated, and they are not very useful.
Eight of my people in Song Dynasty are illiterate.
Agricultural books are mainly used for the common people.
The people are illiterate, and the agricultural books we have translated cannot be understood by the people.
Reading people don't bother to look at those things.
So it was translated, and it didn't do much to my Da Song.
Medical books are different. After the medical books are translated, we can immediately find a doctor to verify some of the medical skills.
Once it is useful, it can be quickly spread through the Huimin Pharmacy organized by the imperial court.
More importantly, most of the first-class and second-class scholars are from Wenchang Academy.
The reputation of Wenchang Academy will be reverberated throughout the world.
There is a medical department in Wenchang Academy.
If we pass those medical skills through the word of the doctor of Wenchang Academy, we will surely be quickly recognized by the people of the world. "
After hearing Kou Ji’s words, Zhao Zhen said solemnly: “The doctors in the Wenchang Academy are mostly medical professionals. They have their own family studies. If the medical skills of Da Shi are not recognized by them, they will definitely not agree to spread the medicine. Of food and medicine."
Kou Ji said indifferently: "If the medical skills are useful, we will know if we try them. As long as we find enough patients and try the medical skills of the big food, as long as they are useful, they will naturally believe it.
Once the medical techniques are useful, they can use them as medical techniques they have researched and spread them out. "
Zhao Zhen stared in amazement.
Kou Ji's move is tantamount to giving fame to those doctors.
As long as you are a doctor, as long as you can research medical skills that others don't know, you can be famous all over the world.
What Kou Ji gave them was not a kind of medical skill, but a medical skill that gathered the wisdom of many food doctors.
The number of medical skills is beyond their imagination.
If those doctors preached these medical techniques as their own research, they would all be regarded as medical saints.
After all, the research results of dozens of generations, even hundreds of generations, countless people, hundreds of thousands of years, let a few people pass on as their own research results, it is strange that they are not medical saints.
Zhao Zhen said with a weird look: "Will this move be a little shameless? What if those big cannibals come to the door?"
Kou Ji said indifferently: "Those big cannibals won't come to the door, they don't care about these at all, they only care about their religion. This is not shameless, although the doctors have not studied these medical techniques, but They spread these medical skills and lived countless people, which is considered a merit."
"What if?"
Zhao Zhen asked persistently.
He is a wealthy emperor who does plagiarism secretly. He is always a little uncomfortable, for fear that someone will come to him and he will lose face because of it.
Kou Ji opened his hand and said, "If anyone finds the door, it will be cut off."
Zhao Zhen's mouth twitched, feeling that Kou Ji's move was a bit shameless and excessive.
However, Kou Ji did this in order to allow those medical skills to spread unimpeded in the Song Dynasty. In the final analysis, it was also for the sake of the Song Dynasty.
As for the big cannibal who came to the door, if they were cut off, Zhao Zhen did not consider whether it would be unrighteous.
You are not one of my people. Whether you are alive or dead, what does it have to do with me
Zhao Zhen comforted himself for a moment, tried to treat this shameful thing as a glorious thing, and then asked Kou Ji: "Then what official position should I grant them? Is it inappropriate for Dali Temple to judge?"
Shinke Jinshi was awarded the Dali Temple judge, as long as it was for them to learn how to decide the case.
After all, when selecting new officials, most of them are assigned to various places to serve as magistrates, judges, and officials.
There are countless criminal cases and civil cases that they need to come into contact with.
If they don't know how to decide a case, they will create many unjust, false and wrong cases.
Therefore, after they are awarded the Jinshi, they will all be awarded Dali Temple judges and learn how to settle cases for a period of time.
It's just that the Jinshi selected by Jinke is used to translate books, so it is obviously inappropriate to give Dali Temple a reviewer.
Kou Ji thought about it for a moment, "How about the right to send Zhilong Tuge?"
When Zhao Zhen heard the words, he froze again.
"The right to send?"
Longtu Pavilion is a place where the royal family's classics, pictures, treasures, and the list of Zongzheng temple clan families are collected.
There are not many officials inside.
Longtuge bachelor's degree is generally an increase in officials granted to important ministers.
The ones who really do things are the Longtuge Zhishi Bachelor, Xiuzhan, Zhige.
Zhilong Tu Pavilion is the Zhi Pavilion, and its status is second only to Xiu Zhuan.
But even so, Zhige is not a new jinshi.
So Kou Ji added a right and dispatch in front.
In the official system of the Great Song Dynasty, the official position is the official position. If some people want to do the official position, but cannot afford the title of the official position, they will add a word of power.
For example, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.
The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture has been held concurrently by the Crown Prince since the early Song Dynasty.
Officials who really know Kaifeng are naturally inferior to the crown prince, so when they take office in Kaifeng, they will add a word of authority.
It means that it is lower than the official position.
If you add another dispatch after the right, it means the lower class.
In other words, Quan sent Zhilong Tu Pavilion, which is two-level lower than the real Zhilong Tu Pavilion.
Putting it on the Shinke Jinshi is just right.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Zhen said: "Then first class grants Zhilong Tuge, second class grants Zhilongtuge, and third class grants right to send Zhilongtuge?"
The treatment is different after all.
Kou Ji can understand Zhao Zhen's appointment like this.
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "I have claimed that they are studying history. I have allocated a place in the Ruisheng Garden to provide them with the book. Naturally, I need to find a secluded place for book editing."
Zhao Zhen's arrangement was also in order not to attract attention.
Kou Ji has nothing to object, so he nodded decisively.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Everything has been negotiated, then we monarchs and ministers will prepare to go to Jinmingchi to meet our new veterans, and see if there is any difference after they are praised on the street
Kou Ji agreed.
The monarch and the courtier made preparations, drove out of the palace in the car, and rushed all the way to Jinming Lake in the west of Bianjing.
Jin Mingchi looked a little deserted after the Bianjing city was transferred from the upper and lower tiger wing forces.
Jin Ming Chi has gradually become one of the emperor's gardens from a military powerhouse.
The huge Jin Mingchi is now being taken care of by the eunuchs and Gong E.
After Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji arrived, the eunuchs and Gong E in Jinming Pool had all arrived at the gate of Jinming Pool, welcoming Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen dismissed Long Hu, and they all bowed to salute.
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, and ordered Yu Qianwei to take over Jin Mingchi's defense, and then led Kou Ji into Jin Mingchi.
Without the Jinming Pool where the upper and lower Tiger Wings were training, there was less hustle and bustle and more peace.
Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen admired the scenery of Jinming Pool along the covered bridge.
Looking at the green, the sparkling waves, and the Yangliu Yiyi, I felt a little refreshed.
Zhao Zhen crossed the covered bridge and stood in front of the first palace in Jinmingchi. He looked at the blue water and said with emotion: "I should come to Jinmingchi often in the future, otherwise this piece of land will be wasted. landscape."
While Zhao Zhen was talking, a huge dragon boat slowly appeared on the surface of the pool.
After Zhao Zhen saw the dragon boat, he was happy in his eyes, "How about setting it up on the dragon boat if you don't have a banquet today?"
Before Kou Ji could answer, Zhao Zhen enthusiastically asked Chen Lin, "Chen Lin, how many people can my dragon boat hold? Can it accommodate me and those jinshi?"
Chen Lin bowed and said with a smile: "Go back to the official's house, you will be able to tolerate it."
Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "Okay! Order people to carry everything for the banquet on the boat, and I will entertain all the scholars on the boat tonight."
"Hey..."
Chen Lin agreed, then turned around and ordered the eunuch behind her.
The eunuch behind him left here quietly.
Not long after, the eunuchs and Gong'e in Jinmingchi all moved, began to move things to the boat and rearrange the place for the banquet.
Night fell quietly when the eunuchs and Gong'e were busy.
Wait until the sun has completely set on the top of the mountain.
Everything on the dragon boat has been arranged properly.
The new veterans also finished the tour and arrived at Jinmingchi.
Shinco Jinshi, each has an identity certificate.
After they arrived at Jinmingchi, they showed their identity documents, and an eunuch would lead them to the place where they were banqueting.
Under the guidance of the eunuchs, the Xinke Jinshi arrived at a small ferry crossing in Jinmingchi.
They looked at the brightly lit dragon boat in front of them, slightly lost.
For many of them, the dragon boat in front of them is definitely the largest boat they have ever seen in their lives.
In fact, this dragon boat is indeed the largest boat in the Song Dynasty.
It is not only large, but also very luxurious, and the materials used are also superior.
From a distance, it looks like a palace.
In fact, it was originally transformed with a palace as a prototype.
Under the guidance of the eunuch, the Shinco jinshi boarded the largest ship they had ever seen.
