The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

A group of people didn't go back to review, they turned a corner and went straight to Zhang Juzheng's house.

At this time, the imperial list has been posted.

The people in the capital were moved upon hearing the news, and flocked to watch the imperial list.

Soon, someone made a big discovery.

"Huh? This time Ding Weike recruited scholars, among the 400 people on the imperial list, most of them are poor families."

"Really! In the past, the phenomenon that the children of the rich and powerful monopolized the list has completely disappeared this time!"

"Out of the 400 places to be recruited, at least 9% are from poor families!"

"This is basically the same ratio as the number of poor families and wealthy scholars."

"No. 1 Luo Wanhua, from a poor family, No. 2 Zhang Chun, and No. 3 Hu Zhengmeng, both from a poor family! Among the top ten in the second class, there is only one son of a family, and he is a hardworking person with a good reputation."

"It seems that Yan Ge said that he would select scholars fairly, regardless of family status, and he did what he said!"

"Of course! Didn't you see that Mr. Yan Ge sent Xu Jie, the deputy chief examiner, to prison for justice in this subject?"

"It's still Mr. Yange who is upright! I'll wait for Shengdou Xiaomin, the child will have hope after studying!"

"Students from poor families are no longer cannon fodder to accompany the prince to study!"

The people in the capital cheered.

In the past, the rich and powerful monopolized the gold list, and every time the list was released, the common people would sigh endlessly.The child of my own family failed the exam again, the scholar from the next door failed to pass the exam more than a dozen times, and a certain student committed suicide due to overwhelmed burden.

On the other hand, those children of the rich and powerful usually yell three times and shout four times, fly eagles and lackeys, walk horses Zhangtai, sleep flowers and sleep willows, but they can go to high school every time, and even occupy the top positions of the top two.It is said that there is no shady scene here, and the common people will not believe it for a long time.

Chapter 1148 "The Wealth of Nations" is born [5]

Today, Ding Wei's imperial examinations have made the scholars who lost hope in Ming Dynasty see hope, and let the common people see the light.

Since then, the society has become more mobile, opening up the channel for the low-class scholars to rise up, and the imperial examination in Ming Dynasty has truly become a channel for only talents.

Ministry of Rites, Luming Banquet.

Yan Song smiled, looked at Luo Wanhua, Zhang Chun, Hu Zhengmeng, and Kang Siqian, the Erjia biography, and made a toast to himself.

Luo Wanhua burst into tears: "Mr. Yan Ge, without you, I would not be who I am today..."

Yan Song waved his hand and said solemnly: "Don't say that! The so-called heaven, earth, king, master, teacher! You have to remember that loyalty to the emperor and patriotism come first. Your fame is given by the emperor, and you earned it through hard study. Come here. The elder of the pavilion just did it fairly."

(Heavenly Thunder Rolling: I will kill you pretender)

Yan Song made a lot of sense, and he said with a smile, "However, from now on, you are my students. If you have done something wrong, the teacher will teach you a lesson, and it will not be sympathetic."

The four of Luo Wanhua stood up together and said loudly: "From today onwards, we will be your students, please teach me!"

After drinking, the four of them knelt down in front of Yan Song together, and made four bows to the teacher.

(In ancient etiquette, heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers. Going down in turn, to meet the emperor, it is three bows and nine kowtows, to meet parents, it is eight bows, and to meet teacher, it is four bows.)

Yan Song was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, with a pretentious appearance and a smile in his heart.

"So quietly, you have accepted a lot of good students? Hahaha! No wonder Xu Jie and the princelings are desperately trying to get the position of chief examiner."

Yan Song was overjoyed, and asked the students to get up and talk freely while eating the deer feast.

Luo Wanhua asked: "Teacher, although we passed the exam, do you have a standard answer for the policy topic you proposed, making the country rich and the people strong?"

Several top students all looked sideways at Yan Song, and they also had the same curiosity.

Yan Song said in his heart, it's time to pretend to be a teacher.

He smiled slightly: "This problem is actually very big. Even if you write a book, it is difficult to exhaust everything. Here, as a teacher, I am writing a new book called [The Wealth of Nations]. It is devoted to discussing how to realize the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people." .”

(Adam Smith, who was plagiarized, was furious: Paralyzed, plagiarized on my head? My knife? Where did you put it?)

The eyes of Luo Wanhua and other students immediately turned into little stars, like a group of fanboys.

"You still want to write a book? Can you let the students read it?"

"The Wealth of Nations, what is it about?"

"Appreciate further details."

Yan Song smiled lightly, picked up some important viewpoints and laws in The Wealth of Nations, and briefly explained them to the candidates who only had four books and five classics in their minds.

Luo Wanhua and others listened to his speech clearly and logically, and they were fascinated by the nature of wealth, circulation and exchange, division of labor and cooperation, and other things.

Yan Song looked at these upstart students, and nodded thoughtfully.

The reason why he came up with the titles of the Four Books, such off-topic and strange questions, and the policy topic of the wealth of the country, is to test the brains of the students.

Don't want that kind of Yumu Geta who only understands the Four Books and Five Classics and doesn't understand the world!

Almost all the students who passed the exam this year are very innovative and independent thinking.Sanding Jia is one of the best.

He just briefly mentioned the content of The Wealth of Nations, and these students were fascinated by it.

Yan Song is very satisfied.

The Ding Weike Scholars selected this time are all good candidates.In the future, their great cause of reform will depend on their successors to promote it.
