Chapter 171 Compete

   "Exactly." After hearing what Emperor Hongzhi said, Li Dongyang replied.

  As soon as Li Dongyang heard about Wang Shouren, he immediately lifted his spirits. He has always regarded Wang Shouren very highly, and he would let Wang Hua\'s son come to drink tea and gossip in the pavilion of the Li family during his spare time.

  This strange young man, apart from being a little underwhelming in his life, is really a malleable talent.

   Li Dongyang is even a pity, if Wang Shouren hadn\'t married the Zhejiang Zhu family, he would have a granddaughter who has not left the court, but...

Now that he heard the three names of Wang Shouren, he smiled and said, "That\'s right, this is the son of Wang Hua, Shao Zhan Shi. That’s why it’s become a good story.”

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "I see."

   After all, I looked down at this policy article.

  Just looking at it, he was immediately attracted.

   Whether he is a talented person or not, in fact, you only need to look at the intention of his article to understand.

  Wang Shouren’s opening article, neither eloquent nor citing classics, but only writes around one issue... money and food...

  Since Miru\'s rebellion has lasted for so long, it seems impossible to immediately suppress it.

   These words are very practical.

  Since we are determined to carry out a protracted campaign, ensuring a stable supply of money and food for the Guizhou army has become an urgent issue.

The imperial court hastily put down the rebellion without thinking about the long-term problems at all, so many shortcomings were exposed. Since the rebellion was not achieved in a day, it was necessary to change the strategy, from the urgent suppression to the slow suppression, and to protect the food and roads in Guizhou. The so-called stability of the soldiers and horses, food and grass first, the court must also supply the needs of the army on time.

Among them, he also mentioned an extremely acute problem, that is, once the army lacks food, in order to ensure military supplies, the state officials will inevitably be asked to collect food, and once the local officials collect food from the local area, it will inevitably arouse public resentment. It is difficult to destroy the army, but it will intensify the rebellion.

  In the theory of policy, it is pointed out bluntly that Yunnan and Guizhou have always been mixed with Han and local people, and the purpose of the court to suppress the rebellion is not to suppress the rebellion itself, but to win the hearts of the rebels.

The most interesting thing about Wang Shouren is that he actually started to calculate the money and rations. Not only did he roughly calculate the money and rations that the army will need in the future, but at the end, he even made a suggestion, thinking that if the rations were transferred from the capital, it would take a long time and cost a lot of money. The distant water cannot save the nearby fire, so it is necessary to urgently transfer from the Sichuan chief envoy...

  Hoo...

  After reading this policy theory, Emperor Hongzhi felt dumbfounded.

This Wang Shouren\'s understanding of horse politics is much higher than that of other tribute students. Emperor Hongzhi only realized after he ascended the throne that the so-called war is actually fighting for money, and food and grass are the foundation of everything. Scholars are most fond of strategizing. It\'s just his imagination.

  This article, even if compared with the policy question of the Ministry of War Minister, is not bad.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn\'t help feeling: "Wang Hua gave birth to a good child."

  After Li Dongyang heard this, he immediately beamed with joy. He really likes Wang Shouren, and the Li and Wang families are already close. Li Dongyang couldn\'t help asking: "Could it be that the Wang family is going to have a father and son double champion?"

  Father and son double champions, this is an old story. In the whole of Ming Dynasty, although there were seven scholars in one school, father and son double champions are much more rare than one school of seven scholars.

  Emperor Hongzhi knew that this was Li Dongyang\'s hint, meaning, why isn\'t Your Majesty the beauty of an adult?

  Of course, the premise of this adult beauty is that Wang Shouren\'s strategy theory is superior, but judging from the results of the current examination papers, Wang Shouren does have a great opportunity.

  But Emperor Hongzhi seemed noncommittal: "But it may not be."

   Only said these four words lightly, and then continued to mark the paper.

   In his heart, more or less, he still retained hope. Although he admired Wang Shouren, he was very satisfied with the answer sheet of Wang Qing\'s son, which could be called simplicity in the emperor\'s heart.

  But...he is still looking forward to it, wants to read other test papers, and most importantly, he wants to know, can Fang Jifan continue the myth of the rural and general examinations?

  His favorite students didn\'t know how to answer.

  Finally, Emperor Hongzhi found Tang Yin\'s paper.

  He subconsciously smiled.

  Look at the volume.

  This policy theory is both well written and conceived, but... um... why does it look familiar?

  Build mountain camps to force strong…

   Isn\'t this... Fang Jifan\'s last idea?

  However... this is understandable, Tang Yin is Fang Jifan\'s protégé, Fang Jifan must have mentioned Guizhou\'s military, if so, then it\'s not surprising that Tang Yin and others carry out their mentor\'s thoughts.

only…

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, a little disappointed.

  When Fang Jifan proposed to build a mountain camp, he was a little hesitant. He felt that Fang Jifan\'s words were not unreasonable, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was not very reliable.

   But in the end, he still made a decree, of course, bypassing the cabinet and making a decree.

  The reason for bypassing the cabinet is actually very simple, because Emperor Hongzhi felt that Fang Jifan was unreliable, and if it was in the name of the court, it would be a bit of a joke.

  He is holding the mentality of giving it a try.

   But now, it seems that the mountain camp has no effect. Although last month, Wang Shi said that the mountain camp has been established and has achieved great results, but Emperor Hongzhi also knows that this is just a scene.

  Thus... this mountain camp uses the natives to fight in the mountains and jungles that the natives are good at. Obviously... the effect is not significant, but it is said that a lot of money and food were wasted to build a mountain camp.

  Emperor Hongzhi felt sorry for Yinzi, and his flesh hurt for a long time.

  Now, this article by Tang Yin...

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed, with a look of disappointment on his face. There was nothing new.

   After finishing speaking, he put the paper aside.

Emperor Hongzhi had probably read Fang Jifan’s theories during this process, and Ouyang Zhi and others were similar to Tang Yin’s articles. However, Emperor Hongzhi liked Ouyang Zhi’s theories more. He liked Ouyang Zhi’s clarity His simple style of writing, on the contrary, is too talented, and he is a little displeased with the rhetoric.

  But Emperor Hongzhi was still disappointed.

   I\'m so disappointed.

  Whether it was Tang Yin, Ouyang Zhi, Liu Wenshan, or Jiang Chen, these people who had placed high hopes on Emperor Hongzhi all agreed by coincidence, and most of them responded with Fang Jifan\'s thoughts.

   There is no suspicion of cheating. Although they coincidentally, the ways of explaining each have their own advantages. What\'s more, it\'s not surprising that they came from the same teacher, came from the same school, and have the same thinking.

  Only, Emperor Hongzhi had great doubts about the mountain camp’s use of coercion, and in reality, the mountain camp’s purpose was released, and the effect was very little.

   What a pity, what a pity.

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, feeling sorry for these disciples. As he said that, he sandwiched these papers between Wang Shouren and the other seven or eight papers, and didn\'t take a second look at them.

   But when he saw Xu Jing\'s paper, he felt a little bright. This strategy is naturally far less insightful than Wang Shouren\'s insight into current affairs, but it is also quite organized. And most importantly, Xu Jing is not as good as Handan...

  Emperor Hongzhi stared at the theory for a long time, and then sandwiched Xu Jing\'s test paper behind the theory of Wang Shouren and another person.

  It\'s getting late.

   Seeing that there were so many test papers, it would not be possible to finish reading them in one day. Emperor Hongzhi stretched his waist, with a deep tiredness on his face.

  Seeing this, Liu Jian and others stopped reviewing the papers at hand one after another. Liu Jian said: "If your majesty is tired, I will leave today and come back tomorrow."

   "It\'s time to take a break. I have worked hard, and so have Qing. You are older, so you should take care of your health."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, but in the depths of his eyes, there was still disappointment that could not be concealed. Maybe it was because he was used to Fang Jifan\'s various brilliant performances before, but now suddenly, Fang Jifan and his few disciples fell into mediocrity, and they were not used to it. up.

  He paused, and continued: "Have a sip of tea, let\'s relieve fatigue, Zhu Qing has worked hard."

   After all, Emperor Hongzhi winked at the **** at the side, and the **** understood. In fact, hot tea had already been prepared in the tea room at the side, and he directly changed it for the monarchs and ministers.

  Li Dongyang was quite disturbed. After he had the idea of ​​the Wang family\'s father and son being the number one champion, he couldn\'t let it go. In today\'s day-to-day review, His Majesty expressed his appreciation to Wang Shouren, and the other tribute students had no words.

  It seems that the Wang family is going to shine this time.

  He stroked his beard with a bit of joy on his face.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and said, "Wang Shouren will try fourth. His father is assisting the prince, right?"

   Li Dongyang didn\'t say a word. After all, he was too close to the Wang family. He praised the Wang family just now. It would be a bit too selfish to talk to the Wang family now.

  Liu Jian replied: "Your Majesty, Wang Hua is currently the young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "What a talent."

   After expressing such a sentence of emotion noncommittally, he did not continue.

  It\'s just... He already has an idea in his heart. If tomorrow, the following strategies and theories are no longer brilliant, then... It\'s time for him to make the final decision.

   But now, he can\'t reveal anything.

   This is the palace test.

  The original intention of the palace examination is that the emperor selects the talents he thinks are the most desirable, which is very important.

  Who can meet your heart?

   This is not only related to the emperor\'s disposition, but also related to His Majesty\'s vision.

  Emperor Hongzhi never doubted his vision, he had this confidence.

  However, this sudden emotion caused Liu Jian and the others to look at each other, and they... also had a rough idea in their hearts.

  It\'s a pity, at first...I thought that Fang Jifan\'s disciples could compete with each other, but now it seems...
