In the past life, because of the locust plague, almost all parts of the country were affected by the locust plague except for a few particularly rich places. Moreover, the Xiliang expedition was disadvantageous, and the turmoil in Lingnan continued. That was the real internal and external troubles.
Now that Jiang Chan has come, Lingnan and Xiliang have calmed down, and the destruction of locust disaster has been minimized. It can be said that Jiang Chan is quite satisfied with this result.
However, she could not relax her vigilance, which was still a long way from the peace and prosperity she wanted. Moreover, she had not completely mastered the imperial court in her own hands. Zuo Xiang's pulse was only temporarily silent, which did not mean that they would stop.
The task is heavy and the road is long. Jiang Chan sighed and glanced at the following courtiers.
"Now Lingnan and eastern counties are short of officials. AI family proposes to reopen Enke and employ talents regardless of style." looking at the bottom, several officials seem to have something to say.
Jiang Chan spoke again: "Ai family has seen the assessment of 100 officials in the past ten years. To be honest, AI family is very dissatisfied."
In contact with the young empress dowager's eyes, the officials of the official department talked up. I didn't expect this to mention it today. After the Ministry of household, the Ministry of officials has become a scholar until now. He wanted to make a career, but it was a pity that because the article was not well written and the rhetoric was not gorgeous enough, he stubbornly delayed so many years.
"Yaozu, this is a good opportunity. My mother is a person who pays attention to facts. You just go to the exam calmly and boldly. At that time, I will write you a letter of recommendation."
Sheng Yuanfu touched his beard. Ding Yaozu met him when he was building water conservancy in Qiye county. He has his own insight in water conservancy. He has been in the eastern counties for four months, and Ding Yaozu has become his indispensable assistant.
"Thank you, Shanda." Ding Yaozu worshipped Sheng Yuanfu. With Sheng Yuanfu's encouragement, he felt more at ease. If he can't pass the exam, he will rest his mind and think of another way out.
Yaozu, Yaozu, when it comes to this name, he himself is a little sarcastic. It can be said that he inherited the hope of his parents. To tell the truth, every time he thought of his name, he had no face to face.
There are still many people like Ding Yaozu, so after reopening Enke, another practical examination was conducted, and a large number of people signed up. We can imagine how many talents have been buried in so many years just by examining the subset of classics and history.
The re opening of the Enke examination did not last long. In less than three months, the selected talents came to the capital to accept the final examination.
This is also why the imperial court is eager to hire people. Otherwise, it will take at least a year if it follows the usual and reliable progress.
Jiang Chan didn't put too much thought on the imperial examination, which naturally worried Wen Chen. Her main concern is another miscellaneous examination, which can be said to be all inclusive.
Everyone has their own skills. Jiang Chan has walked around the field for several times. Almost all of them have real talent and learning.
Ding Yaozu is also impressively listed.
The miscellaneous examination is mainly the responsibility of the officials of the Ministry of work. For different candidates, the Ministry of work will give different questions, some of which are self-made by Jiang Chan, such as water conservancy, agriculture or commerce.
She doesn't have the idea of emphasizing agriculture and restraining business. Business can't develop. Farming alone is actually very hard.
The problem facing Ding Yaozu now is how to optimize the water conservancy facilities in the eastern counties without wasting people and money. It can be said that this problem is very difficult. If you only know how to make a car behind closed doors, it is estimated that you will be scratched when you see this problem.
Almost everyone in the audience was frowning and thinking, and then wrote on the paper.
Ding Yaozu was no exception. He made an abdominal draft and drew the river trend of the eastern counties and the surrounding areas in detail on the paper. Then he began to answer by divisions.
Jiang Chan stood beside Ding Yaozu and watched for a long time. The original owner was in the boudoir for a long time. Where do you know the outside world? Now when she saw the pictures painted by Ding Yaozu, she had a general impression in her heart.
Looking at the articles written by Ding Yaozu, the rhetoric is not gorgeous, but they all have substance. Jiang Chan looked at the name on the roll with approval, remembered his name in her heart, and then walked slowly to the other side.
Seeing that the gorgeous clothes were gone, Ding Yaozu was relieved and wiped the sweat on his forehead. The Empress Dowager stood beside him. He felt that he couldn't breathe.
Although she didn't say anything, he was nervous.
After calming down, Ding Yaozu began to answer questions again. This is the last battle. He must have done well! Many officials like Jiang Chan came down to inspect, and several officials of the Ministry of work nodded repeatedly.
They also saw several good seedlings in them and were already thinking about how to pull people under their own hands.
Today, chaotang runs very fast. Just after the exam in the morning, officials corrected the exam papers overnight. At noon, the gold list was posted.
