The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

Magistrate Yin was also a little surprised. After not seeing each other for several months, his impression of Bai Gui was a little blurry. However, he still remembered that although Bai Gui was not a weak young man at that time, he was not as strong as he is now. read

A knowledgeable person can tell at a glance whether he is practicing martial arts or not!

For example, scholars generally have slumped shoulders and backs, which is unlikely to be the case for martial arts practitioners!

"This man has read Western history thoroughly and is very organized in his policy and inquiry. Priest Chongli, Mr. Nichols, a reporter from the New York News, and others also highly praised him..."

Magistrate Yin's eyes flashed. He did not dare to answer directly. Instead, he said in a different way, saying that Bai Gui had real talent and learning. What he said did not work, but these foreigners all praised him. His eyes were It won't be bad.

"Oh?" Governor Fang nodded, "It seems that this person is both civil and military, and will have a good future!"

Ordinary scholars will not receive his praise.

But a scholar who is both civilized and martial, no matter who he is, will be worthy of others' admiration.

Wu is a bonus!

Chen Xuezheng laughed along with him. Although he was equivalent to an "imperial envoy" and had a low and powerful position, he was not worthy enough in front of Governor Fang. "Futai, why don't you summon him to come up and ask questions?"

"No need." Governor Fang shook his head, "Now is the time for students to take scientific examinations. It would be unkind to ask questions rashly."

Although Bai Gui deserves his special attention, it is nothing more than that, and there is no need to step forward and ask questions.

As for other candidates, such as the heads of Tongzhou Prefecture, Fengxiang Prefecture, Yulin Prefecture, and Hanzhong Prefecture, they only took a few glances and didn't look at them again. Compared with the capitals of provincial capitals, the value of these capitals has inevitably declined...

Soon after the candidates finished entering the Gongyuan, the officials at the Gongyuan office also began to lock the doors.

At this time, the government officials also retired, and the soldiers who patched up the military characters began to patrol. These were all transferred from Long Province to prevent fraud between local government officials and local candidates.

Bai Gui also took the opportunity to take a few glances and found that among the children who entered the Gongyuan, there were quite a lot of old children, accounting for at least 30 to 40%, which was much more than the old Confucian students in the county examination and the prefectural examination.

It can also be regarded as a characteristic of the college examination.

The scribe held up the lantern.

The first main examination of the college examination is also different from the past. It is five essays on political history.

The topic of the first political essay is: "If the country uses enough money without adding taxes, the harm will be greater than adding taxes."

The imperial examination has always been the first.

This historical and political topic caused some of the candidates present to be in an uproar. This question refers to the ancestral law set by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty: "Never add gifts."

What does it mean?

Is this national policy of never increasing taxes more harmful to the country than the national policy of increasing taxes? !

These are some unskilled candidates.

Bai Gui shook his head. This sentence can not only be connected to the national policy of "never adding taxes" set by Kangxi, but also to the sentence of Wang Anshi's reform: "Those who manage money well will not use taxes enough."

How can historical topics attack those in power and expose people's background?

Therefore, this historical topic is best explained in terms of Wang Anshi's Reform. Anyone who dares to comment on the wrong policies of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty will not only be dismissed, but also lose his head...

But it is also wrong to answer this historical question as Sima Guang did.

Sima Guang said: "The wealth produced by heaven and earth is only limited to this amount. It is not in the people but in the officials. For example, if there is rain in the lake, there will be drought in the summer. If the country does not add taxes, the country will have enough, but if you try to use evil to deprive the people, the harm will be very serious. Yu Jiafu. This is what Sang Hongyang said to deceive Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The historian moved it to write it down to see that he didn't understand it."

This... is the origin of this historical topic.

If a scholar who is not good at forcibly writing a book does not know the origin and origin of this question, and writes it randomly, which involves Kangxi's national policy of never adding taxes, he will really die miserably.

But how should I write this question?

Definitely not writing Sima Guang’s opinion!

"Economic Special Section!"

Bai Gui breathed a long sigh of relief. It was really not easy to become a scholar, especially in the late Qing Dynasty.

Chen Zhongfu and Jiang Menglin once had a conversation. Once, Jiang said to Chen: "You are a scholar, and I am also a scholar. There are two kinds of scholars. One is the scholar who advanced when he took the Eight-part essay test. After the Eight-part essay was abolished, he changed to take the policy theory test, which is called the policy theory scholar. Although the Policy theory scholar It’s a bit foreign, but not as valuable as the eight-part scholar.”

Chen laughed and said: "Then you, a scholar, are worthless. I am a scholar who got into the exam during the eight-part essay examination."

Having said that, there is really a lot of subject knowledge that Kece Wen scholars need to master, and they need to know more than the previous eight-part scholar.

Therefore, if you want to answer this political and history question well and brilliantly, you must start from the perspective of economics.

Another thing to note!

Wang Anshi is a "treacherous party" in the history books and can never be replaced by Wang Anshi.

"The people are not benefiting from the gifts but the world is using the crops, and everything is lost. The foundation of this small peasant country cannot be shaken. Therefore, King Jinggong's Green Miao Law brought disaster to Zhao and Song Dynasties. Nowadays, as time goes by, there are foreign countries such as the British and Western countries exploring Southeast Asia. , America and other barbarians, the benefits gained are more than those of small peasant countries. The citizens are getting stronger and stronger, and the people of our country are far away... This is the benefit of the capital country."

"The laws have changed due to the times. Nowadays, if we want to surpass the countries in the West, it would be a disaster to stick to the old laws without adding taxes. Therefore, changing the economic laws is in line with the times."

Bai Gui writes as soon as he writes.

It’s hard to answer who is in trouble, whether to add gifts or not. To say that he added gifts is in agreement with Sima Guang's statement, and it is also suspected of criticizing Kangxi. If you don't add more gifts, you will become a traitor like Wang Anshi...

So he answered directly from an economic perspective, avoiding historical theory. It is said that this is the difference between small-scale peasant countries and capital countries. Small-scale peasant countries emphasize agriculture and suppress business. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty created the equalization method to prevent businessmen from profiting and harming the country. that's right.

Later, Wang Anshi carried out the reform to bring disaster to Zhao and Song Dynasties. This was wrong.

"The people do not benefit from the gifts, but the world uses the mercy" comes from Sima Guang's "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

But he also said that times have changed, and the outside countries of Thailand are exploring Southeast Asia, America and other places just to make profits. This refutes Sima Guang's statement that the world's wealth is fixed. You cannot make money from your own country, but you can make money from it. Foreign countries are making money!

Finally, this argument can be summarized by the previous sentence: The economic method is to adapt to the weather!

Master of Heaven and Earth!

The timing of the weather is more important than the laws of the ancestors!

Of course, the most important thing is the word "stability". He did not directly say that the economic method should be changed, but said that if we want to catch up with the European and American countries, we must make changes according to the times...

When writing an article, leave three points to yourself!

Scholars who are good at imperial examinations are often unknown. They are not necessarily inferior to those great talents, but their articles are extremely smooth and there is no flaw in them.

More than a thousand words.

Bai Gui combined some of the economics knowledge he had read during this period with Western historical materials to give evidence and discuss it.

Call it a day, exhale, stop writing.

His calligraphy was learned from facial expressions, and he also practiced martial arts during this period. The facial expressions and physical strength of his writing can be seen through the back of the paper, which is concise and strong, with ups and downs. Different from the past, the calligraphy at this time cannot be said to be first-class, but among the children present, it can be regarded as the best.
