Lu Xuanbo doesn't know much about politics. If Zhao Junsheng wants to investigate this matter, he just needs to order the local government officials to report the sanitation conditions in their cities. He doesn't understand why Zhao Junsheng uses his black guards to do this, but he Still faithfully carried out the order.

Only five days later, Lu Xuanbo ordered people to write detailed information on the sanitation conditions of the cities in various places in a secret report and put it on Zhao Junsheng's imperial case.

As expected by Zhao Junsheng, the secret report submitted by Lu Xuanbo showed that since the promulgation of the Horse Administration, a large number of cattle, sheep and horses captured by Zhao Junsheng in the northern wars in the past few years have been diverted to various places and lent to farmers to feed them. The benefits are great, but It also brought many problems, some of the problems encountered before have been solved one by one, and the sanitation problems brought by the horse government to the towns are already very serious, but the local governments have not paid attention to them.

Why didn't it attract attention?First of all, officials generally don't go out, and they can't smell the stinky and harsh environment inside and outside the city caused by the livestock defecating indiscriminately.

Second, the officials don’t know that if these feces are not treated, in addition to creating a bad environment with smoky and stinky air, it is likely to bring diseases and outbreaks of epidemic diseases. Once such an epidemic breaks out and spreads rapidly, the consequences will be severe. It is unimaginable that it may even cause a large number of livestock to be infected and die.

Third, the officials didn't realize that the feces and urine of these livestock can actually be used to turn waste into treasure. As long as they are collected and processed centrally, they can be turned into organic fertilizers with high safety and high fertilizer efficiency.

According to the intelligence collected by the Black Yiwei, more than [-]% of the cities in Qianguo have not targeted livestock.

Only [-]% of urban officials have issued decrees to deal with the impact on urban sanitation, but the effect is minimal.

"Huh, Qinghe County actually made such a deal?" Zhao Junsheng saw that Lu Xuanbo specifically mentioned Qinghe County's handling method in the report.

It turns out that the prefect of Qinghe County ordered that every street in the city build a public toilet for animals to defecate. Those who ride horses, carriages, or ox carts must bring their own containers to pick up the defecation of livestock anytime and anywhere. Animals are not allowed to go anywhere in the city. Urinating and defecating, when animals are animals after all, they are not smart enough to go to public toilets when they want to defecate. Therefore, defecating anywhere must happen from time to time, so the owner of the livestock needs to use a container to regularly collect the excrement and urine of the animals. As long as you develop a habit, when it's time to defecate every day, the animals will naturally defecate.

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for several days after reading Lu Xuanbo's report. He reported the poor sanitation conditions in various cities at a court meeting.

"I just can't figure it out, why don't the local governments report this kind of thing?"

Cui Hao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, officials from various places may feel that this matter is not mentioned, so they did not report it."

"It's not worth mentioning?" Zhao Junsheng's face was a little ugly, "If this is not worth mentioning, then what is worth mentioning? Who wants to stay in a stinky environment all day long? The city is no better than the city. The outside is open and open, and the streets in the city are criss-crossed and the houses are connected. If the streets are full of feces and urine, who will stand it?"

"Also, if a lot of livestock manure is not treated, it is easy to infect diseases. Once there is an infection among livestock, it must be a large area. Who will be responsible for the loss? Animal manure and urine are very useful fertilizer materials. Wouldn't it be a waste to waste it?"

"Recently, Gu heard that the government of Qinghe County has long ordered to rectify the health problems caused by the large number of livestock. It is stipulated that the owners of the livestock must prepare their own containers to collect the excrement and urine of the livestock anytime and anywhere, and the livestock are not allowed to defecate anywhere. In this case, every time a fine of ten renminbi is imposed, the confiscated money will be used by the government to hire cleaners to clean it up! To avoid this situation, we can only let the animals develop the habit of urinating and urinating regularly!"

"In addition, Qinghe County has built a public toilet on every street in the city. The owners of the livestock can dump the feces and urine collected on the way into the cesspool of the public toilet. It is not allowed to dump anywhere, otherwise they will be fined a huge amount of money. If you don’t change after repeated admonitions, you will even be arrested by the government and imprisoned for ten and a half months, and the common people can also lead their animals to the public toilets for free!”

When Zhao Junsheng said this, he glanced at all the ministers and said, "I feel that Qinghe County's handling method is worth learning from the imperial court and promoting it in cities all over the country. I don't know what you think?"

Now that Zhao Junsheng has affirmed this method of handling, the ministers will naturally not be so stupid as to stand up against it, and Zhao Junsheng generally does not express his opinion easily on an issue without going through the court discussion. A decision has been made, which means that this matter has become a settlement.

However, some people still raised questions. Li Yuande, Shang of the Household Department, stood up and said: "If this disposal plan is to be promoted to cities all over the country, should we copy Qinghe County's plan completely, or let the local governments carry out it according to the actual situation? The plan is to build public toilets. Are the expenses required for such buildings and the treatment of feces and urine allocated by the imperial court, or is the local government responsible for the funds?"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Promote Qinghe County's disposal plan to the local governments, let them adjust and implement according to their own conditions, and the local governments will also bear the money! The only request is that the city must be kept clean and no more stinking is allowed. The air is smoky, the stench can be smelled everywhere, and the feces can be seen!"

"The prefect's mansion of each county has to evaluate the sanitation conditions of the counties under its control. The selection is once a quarter. The county with the worst sanitation environment will be named and reprimanded. If you are rated as the last place in the sanitation environment three times in a row, you will be demoted and transferred, and your qualification for promotion within five years will be cancelled!"

"Never allow the outbreak of epidemics due to sanitation problems caused by livestock manure. Once this happens, the local government must immediately take correct measures to isolate and kill the infected animals, and burn or bury the corpses! The imperial court

The responsible officials should also be held accountable. If something goes wrong and they are not dealt with in a timely manner, they must be dealt with severely! "

After more than a year of rectification, the sanitary conditions of cities in various places have been greatly improved. During this period, many officials were demoted, transferred or dismissed due to poor rectification.

Zhao Junsheng was not worried at all that there would be no officials available, the worst would be to promote some capable officials, and the first scientific examination was approaching, and the first batch of officials who passed the scientific examination would be dispatched to various places in just one month.

At a recent court meeting, Shang Gaoyun of the Ministry of Rites stood up and said: "My lord, the day of the scientific examination is coming soon, and the students from all over the country have arrived in Qianjing. Regarding the content, date arrangement, arrangement of examination rooms, relevant regulations of the examination room, etc., the officials and colleagues in the Ministry of Rites have already discussed and come up with a list, please look over it, Your Majesty!"

The memorial was sent to Zhao Junsheng. Zhao Junsheng took the memorial and read it in detail. After spending a cup of tea, he said: "Others are fine, but the subjects and content of the scientific examination are alone. Some adjustments, reduce the content of the examination of poetry and poetry, and increase the theory of arithmetic, history, and current policy!"

"In addition, officials from various yamen and Hanlin Academy of the imperial court are selected to form a scientific examination question group, which is supported by the Ministry of Rites. Officials who are transferred must make temporary decisions and notify them without prior notice. Go to the Ministry of Rites without stopping to report. You are not allowed to leave during the test period until the end of the scientific examination. All behaviors that may leak the test questions are prohibited. If you find someone who deliberately leaks the test questions or cooperates with the examinee to cheat, you will be dismissed and investigated, and you will never be hired. If it is serious, it will be decided!"

Chapter 669 Scientific Examination

Selecting officials through scientific examinations has a great psychological impact on the people of the world, because no ruler has ever done this before.

According to the edict promulgated by the imperial court of Qian Kingdom, any person of Qian Kingdom who has reached the age of ten can participate, but not everyone is eligible to take part in the formal scientific examination. The purpose is to weed out the unlearned and incompetent people who want to fish in troubled waters, and only those with real knowledge and talent can enter.

"My lord, the day after tomorrow is the day of the scientific examination. So far, the number of students who have participated in the scientific examination has reached 720. These are the lists submitted by the school officials of various counties!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "I won't read the list alone, how many of it do you think are recommended?"

Li Yuande thought for a while and said: "My lord, it is a relatively fair opportunity for our country to open scientific examinations now. Even if they are the children of the aristocratic families, the truly educated people will not be afraid to compete with the poor students. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to be recommended? Besides, the imperial court attaches so much importance to this scientific examination, and the counties have done so much preparations to prevent fraud to the greatest extent. If the generation of art is exposed, the reputation of the recommender will be ruined!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "It makes sense, no matter if they are talented or ignorant, the first selection and assessment can make them show their true colors!"

"This is the test question for the first selection and assessment, please look it over, Your Majesty!" Li Yuande took out a roll of paper and presented it.

The eunuch forwarded the test paper to Zhao Junsheng. Zhao Junsheng asked before he took it, "How many people have read all the contents of this test paper?"

Li Yuande said: "For the same type of examination questions, each of the four questioners will come up with a question, and the minister and the left and right ministers will choose one of them as the examination question after discussion, so there is no fourth question except that the minister and the left and right ministers have read all the examination questions. People have seen it!"

Only then did Zhao Junsheng open the test paper and read it. It took him a cup of tea to read it. After reading it, he said: "This question is neither simple nor profound. It can be used as a selection examination paper to eliminate those who want You are a fisherman in troubled waters, so let’s do this! In addition, Gu once again reiterates that the invigilator’s style of invigilation must be strict, and any students are prohibited from whispering or talking. You must understand that there are definitely various methods of cheating, so the invigilator is required The officials must cheer up and deal with it resolutely and seriously once cheating is discovered. No matter who the cheating student is, no matter how old he is, once the cheating is found, he will be expelled from the examination room immediately and banned from taking the scientific examination again for ten years. !If the invigilators cover up the candidates for cheating, or if they clearly discover that the candidates are cheating but do not stop the investigation, once they are discovered by the inspectors, they will be dismissed and investigated! The request is very clear. This is the first time our country holds a scientific examination. Select officials for the Qian State in a fair way, all eyes in the world are on Qian Jing, and Gu will never allow any problems in this scientific examination!"

"Yes!"

The first scientific examination was not only inexperienced for the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette of Qianguo, even Zhao Junsheng had no experience, so Qianguo had prepared for this scientific examination for a full year, and answered all the questions that could be thought of. Made a plan in advance.

On the second day of March, the selection and assessment of the scientific examination officially began. Outside the gate of the Ministry of Rites, 720 people gathered together with many relatives, friends, servants and servants. These people formed twelve long lines under the organization of officials of the Ministry of Rites. To maintain order, a checkpoint was set up outside the gate. Everyone who participated in the assessment had to verify his identity before he was allowed to enter. Hundreds of soldiers with knives and bows and arrows were waiting in line. The candidates did not dare to make mistakes when they saw this posture. Honestly queue up and step forward to accept identity verification.

Candidates who entered the examination room first saw countless seats placed on the open space behind the tribute courtyard. The vertical and horizontal tables and chairs were arranged neatly. Each candidate had a number plate. At the prompt of the invigilator, they Take the number plate to find the corresponding seat and sit down.

After half an hour, all candidates entered the examination room.

"Listen to all the candidates, the exam is about to start in a moment. Once the exam starts, you are not allowed to go to the toilet. You can only go to the toilet after handing in the paper. Even if you pull it in your crotch, you are not allowed to leave the exam room, so those who want to go to the toilet now people go immediately!

"

Candidates are so strict?

"What if I have diarrhea?" a candidate muttered.

The examinee next to him said: "Didn't you hear what the invigilator said? Even if you pull your crotch, you deserve it!"

"So strict?"

Candidates who went to the toilet came back one after another. Taking advantage of some time, the invigilator reminded the candidates to prepare their pens and inks. Don't wait until the test papers are issued. The pens have not melted and the ink has not been sharpened.

"I believe that all candidates have read the regulations of the examination room. Once cheating is discovered, they are not allowed to take the test again within ten years. If other candidates provide answers to the test papers for cheating candidates, the penalty will be doubled after being caught. Therefore, candidates who are confident in their talents must Protect your test papers, and don’t be peeked by people who fish in troubled waters. If your test papers are peeked, the examiner may think that you are cheating with someone! Candidates in the front, back, left, and left are not allowed to speak out, and they are not allowed to make any decisions without authorization. They must raise their hands to report to the invigilator and get permission!"

The test papers were handed out one by one, and the examinees immediately checked the questions in the test papers.

The truly talented students were relieved after reading these test questions, and they had a bottom line in their hearts, while those who were ignorant and fishy in troubled waters were blinded and at a loss.

An examinee accidentally dropped his writing brush on the ground. He bent down to pick it up, but was immediately scolded by the invigilator: "What are you doing?"

"Examiner, the student's pen fell on the ground, the student just picked it up!"

The invigilator yelled loudly: "Who told you to bend down to pick it up without permission? Did you get my permission? Now I think you have the tendency and intention to cheat! Someone, drag him out and disqualify him from the exam." , remember his name and hometown, and he will not be allowed to take the exam again within ten years!"

Two soldiers came over and dragged the examinee out, and the examinee shouted anxiously: "I'm wronged, the student really didn't want to cheat..."

Seeing this scene, the other examinees felt awe-inspiring, trembling with fear and feeling sorry for each other. Just because they picked up a pen, they were disqualified from the exam, and they were not allowed to take the exam again for ten years. This is also... Is it too strict?
