Quickly travel through the life history of a young couple

At first, Chu Bai thought that Yan Shao was just here to congratulate him on being a scholar, and thought it was a bit grand to come in person. Then he thought that Yan Shao also got straight to the point and told him directly that he wanted to come over to discuss something with him.

After Yan Shao finished speaking his thoughts, he looked at Chu Bai with bright eyes, wanting to hear his reply. Chu Bai opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and finally just said, "Why do you have Such an idea?"

Chu Bai did not expect that this man would reform the imperial examination. This thing would be the lifeblood of many people for more than 1000 years.Think about it, it was only two or three hundred years since the imperial examination system was established in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Besides, many aristocratic families did not really recognize the imperial examination system.But Chu Bai never thought that the man in front of him would need to completely reform, not the imperial examination system, but the internal assessment standards. This was not a simple matter.

"You have to know that since the Han Dynasty, all scholars in the world have studied Confucian classics. Even the imperial examination system established in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was based on Confucian classics. If you do this, you are not afraid of those Confucian scholar?" Chu Bai asked this question to make sure again, does Yan Shao really think so?

"Hahaha, Saburo, of course I'm not afraid. I just asked why I had this idea. It's like this. My father received a letter from my grandfather, talking about the farm built by His Royal Highness. The farm built there, It is simply extremely sophisticated. And a lot of arithmetic is used in it. I have also heard people say that the prince has been angry some time ago because there are too few people in the court who are proficient in arithmetic, so this is why arithmetic is not included in this year's academy examination. The topic has increased a lot.

I have a bold guess that there are three purposes behind building the farm. First, it is to accommodate refugees and increase food. Second, a sharp knife is pointed directly at the land where the family hides. They will definitely have nothing to hide in the future. Third, if it is true, If so many farms were to be built, the required arithmetic and architectural talents would certainly be indispensable, and the reform of the imperial examinations was certainly imperative. "

After Yan Yun finished speaking, Chu Bai's expression was stunned.Even Qin Liuchen, who originally wanted to bring them tea, was stunned when he heard it outside.

Qin Liuchen just wanted to look up to the sky to see if Fang Tiandao would take them both away again!Oh, heaven, earth, this is not a matter of changing the plot of the male and female protagonists, but directly changing the progress of the subsequent imperial examinations.

Chu Bai was already frozen there. He was shocked by Yan Shao's imagination, but his mind was wandering now, how should he open this mouth?

"Then what do you plan to do about this matter?" Chu Bai felt that he should listen to Yan Shao's actions and see if he could stop him.

Unexpectedly, Yan Shao sighed, "I do have an idea, but I don't know what the opportunity is. I don't know what His Highness the Crown Prince thinks. I plan to visit His Highness the Crown Prince when I return to Beijing this year." They are both of the same age. At that time, we were enlightened together, so there is still some friendship from childhood.

At this time, Qin Liuchen felt that he could not let the two of them chat anymore.Knocking on the door from outside, he brought tea and snacks to him with a smile. He gently tugged on Chu Bai's sleeves with his little hands. How could Chu Bai not know what Qin Liuchen wanted to express? You can't stop this, it might be counterproductive. .

"Sanlang, to be honest, I didn't tell anyone else about this, only you." Yan Shao watched Qin Liuchen go out and said to Chu Bai, "I think you can understand me, you understand me."

This friendship made Chu Bai wave his hands repeatedly. He couldn't afford such a big friendship.Yan Shao grabbed Chu Bai's hand and said, "Among my friends, you are the only one who can let me say this truthfully. Ever since you saved my life last year, you asked me in the car if I was willing? In fact, you saved me last year. I am not willing to give in. I want to have some ideals and ambitions. I also know that this matter may have a greater impact on you. But after thinking about it, you can save me even if you don’t know each other. Now you You can't even harm me, so I plan to tell you all my thoughts. I haven't thought about how to implement it, because I think you will help me."

Chu Bai originally wanted to dodge, but seeing Yan Shao's determined eyes, he could only bite the bullet and nod.

When Yan Shao revealed the whole plan, the only thing Chu Bai thought of was that this plan could not be known to others, otherwise it would be earth-shaking. He was really too courageous.

This is not just the ideological reform of the Confucian school, but the re-blooming of hundreds of schools of thought. Once it is not controlled well, everything will fall into chaos.

"Let me tell you a story." Chu Bai forced his brain that was about to shut down to turn on, and then rearranged the order of his words, "You probably haven't heard of the story of boiling a frog in warm water. Put a frog in it. In a pot of boiling water, the frog will jump up immediately and run away on its own. If you put the frog in cold water and slowly heat it up, the frog will adapt to the difference in surrounding temperature until it can no longer adapt. , it couldn’t escape even if it wanted to.”

Chu Bai thought of the most understandable story and told it to Yan Shao, just to tell him that some things should be taken slowly.

The farm he planned with Qin Liuchen has affected the current situation. The prince may also have thoughts in this regard. The two of them cannot stop it. The only thing they can do now is to make this change slower and not to happen too strongly. Conflict, otherwise...

"How can we do it slowly? For example, this time His Highness wants some talents in arithmetic, then he will slowly increase the number of arithmetic questions, adding a little each time, changing a little each time, those The old minister wanted to object, but there was no way, because the court now needed such people. By the time they really got used to it, or when they wanted to change, a wave of different voices had already appeared in the court.

And there is another point, have you noticed that if you do it too much, it will be bad.No matter which school of thought, there are things that are useful and useless. To use the simplest analogy, it is the same as pruning flowers and leaves. Keep what you want and subtract what you think is redundant.Use the ones that are useful and throw away the ones that are not. You can also check and balance them back and forth. "

Chu Bai racked his brains and finally thought of some of the lines he said when he was watching Gongdou drama. They were so good that he could use them now.
