"You are so brave."

"Weichen missed his mouth."

"You kid, I can tell you the truth. The rumors about Meng Chang's death were unknown. I am the most unfair. You highly praised Cao Bin, and Wang Renshan also praised Cao Bin, but no one was perfect. When Meng Chang went to Beijing, Cao Bin reported that I wanted me to kill him to eliminate future troubles. I wrote a letter to scold him and said he was petty!"

"ah."

"Do you understand this time? Meng Chang died of illness and disagreement, but the more I distinguished it, the more people I talked about, the more I thought it was me who harmed him. If I harmed him, why go to the capital? There are rumors in the capital, and I have heard of it, but so many people spread it. Could it be that I will kill them one by one? In that way, I will still be the elder in your mouth?"

"yes."

"So you guys think I was hurt by me?"

"no."

"Not what? I can tolerate Wang Quanbin, why not tolerate Meng Chang? I used to be in the military camp and liked to touch my feet, but since Zhang Qiong's death, I have never dared to touch my feet. You said I am the elder emperor, but do you know how difficult it is to be an elder?"

"Yes, there are only dozens of wise monarchs throughout the ages, but Your Majesty should not do anything. Who can hold your majesty's fist in the court?" Song Jiu said timidly.

"Tell me about Xu." But Zhao Kuangyin gestured his big fist, very satisfied.

Song Jiu still didn't believe it. Is Meng Chang really dead due to illness? This is probably a real mystery. Song Jiu dared not confirm whether Xu and Zhao Kuangyin had a relationship, and said, "Your Majesty, the prince should also teach. Great Confucians and elders' ministers. But just teaching, you can't get too close. Your Majesty is in full swing. As a minister, if you get close, it may cause trouble. Mrs. Xu is alone in Beijing and wants to gain power and possess nobleness. However, she is the concubine of the former Shu lord. If she gets too close to the prince, it is not very good. This is the opinion of the minister. That day, the minister advised him a little, and he was obscure."

Zhao Kuangyin was speechless, not knowing what he was thinking about.

The ministers continued to move forward. Li Chongju asked: "Can you really build a train?"

"Yes, but not only the technology of trains, but also the technology of railways. The technology of laying rails is not difficult, but the amount of iron is only the amount of iron used for railways. However, along the way, there were many mountains, rivers, and it was not the Baiyu Bridge, which was not a large load. It was an iron bridge that weighed 10,000 stones. There was also the vibration power of driving. This bridge used a large amount of iron, and the technology was even more difficult. Furthermore, it was a big mountain, and a small mountain could build Sui Cave. It was unlikely that the mountain would build Sui Cave, so it had to blow it out a road. Even using the eight-character railway. The country did not have that much money, and its technical difficulty was even more unimaginable. Especially to Hebei, the river that was not heading towards Jingzhao Prefecture was not very wide. If an iron bridge was built on the Yellow River..." Song Jiu shook his head. This bridge was not a Baiyu Bridge.

"That's not a fantasy?"

"How can it be a fantasy? If the amount of iron is kept up, reaching 100 million jin, various technologies will also keep up, costs will decrease, and national income will increase, can it still be a fantasy? Although construction will use a lot of money, if there are several railways across the country, the forces and materials can reach all directions in a short time. How will the country become stable? Especially in the future, the use of troops in the north."

But Song Jiu was very pessimistic.

It has many unexpected factors. If the first thing science can be carried forward, if it cannot overcome Confucianism, it will become a wrong path and may spread to the West, which will cause disasters to come ahead of schedule.

The second is the external troubles of the Song Dynasty. If the Dangxiang people in the northwest are not solved and the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are recovered, as long as Song Huizong is alive, the nomadic peoples can still kill the Song Dynasty. Changes will not come.

The third is the problem of grain production. Now the number of households in the entire Song Dynasty, including the Northern Han, Southern Han, Wu and Yue, and Southern Tang was only about 3 million, and the most densely populated Southern Tang was only more than 600,000 households. In the past 100 years, there will be more than 20 million households, an increase of seven or eight times. If there is no problem in a hundred years, there will be more than 60 million households. Once there are so many people in the Song Dynasty, they will be in chaos without having to deal with foreign enemies. The introduction of grains will not solve the problem.

But it’s not that there is no hope. All of this is Song Jiu. After the actual school was established, the most progress was not the students, but Song Jiu. He is slowly adapting to the productivity and technology of this era, combining it with the knowledge I remembered in his previous life, and evolving many things step by step. And it is not the kind of evolution that takes detours. It is just that there are too few helpers, there are so many helpers, but there are not any really useful helpers, including his twenty-one personal disciples.

Graduation exam is over.

This exam was much stricter. The two doctors opened the back door, but Song Jiu guarded the barrier. When the students went out, they mainly studied arithmetic and accounting, and learned a small amount of knowledge about matters to improve their understanding. As for the meaning of the classics and Minglu, it was not very important, and Song Jiu didn't care whether the two doctors opened the back door.

However, many students were not qualified for Song Jiuyi, and twelve of them were not qualified for the second graders, including three personal disciples, seven of whom had to resign. One hundred and fifty first graders, forty-six of them were not qualified, and thirty-two of them had to resign.

The results were delivered, and there was a wail.

Song Jiu smiled and asked the students who were resigned to the grade, and said to them: "Retention is not a scandal. The longer you get, the more skilled you are with knowledge. Learn for another year, and then upgrade, and you will surpass others. If the academy is well built, there will be students in the fourth and fifth grades. No matter how good your qualifications are, there will be a retention process in the middle of the tenth grade. Needless to say, the students who decide to stay, the students who want to go out must stay, otherwise I will harm you. Please believe me, others will have all kinds of intentions, but I will not harm you. And from then on, there will be only graduation certificates and no graduation certificates. When the academy is built, the rules will be stricter."

Eighteen students looked embarrassed. They wanted to go out because of their family background, but now they are residing, and their families are waiting for money. What should I do?

Song Jiu said again: "Don't make things difficult for some of you. Since you stay, there will be projects next year, and you will help you. I will also pay you a subsidy, one yuan a month to make up for your family. After a while, it will be a year. But this time is not long. The academy was established and students recruit more. That is to really recruit for the country. If I subsidize students, I will win people's hearts from the people of the court. Over the past year... everyone should cherish it."

Once he stayed, only 69 students were released. One of the second-grade students was not released, and thirty-three of them were promoted to the third grade, and the remaining seven were merged into the second-grade class with the fifth-grade students in the third semester. The thirty-two students continued to stay in the first-grade class.

Then fifty people were selected for the court, and the remaining 19 students were released for the division of various merchants.

Many of the managers who came to ask for someone were also wailing. Where was the nineteen people enough? There was almost a snatch from outside, which had nothing to do with Song Jiu. They broke up and got together. The second year, Song Jiu was in a much better mood. In the end, these students basically had to go out. Moreover, because these students were trained, they were better than the quality of the first group of students.

Song Jiu began to recruit the third batch of students, first assessing second-grade students, and then passing the three levels. Those who pass the three levels will come to the school to conduct the final exam on the eighth day of the winter month, and finally decide to admit the second-grade students. This is not a question about retention or upgrade within the school, but is aimed at the entire capital. Even students who have passed Song Jiu’s set of textbooks. The enrollment range is very wide, but the result will not be too optimistic.

The previous assessment was handed over to five gentlemen and several students to check.

Song Jiu was about to go to court.

This made Song Jiu very uncomfortable.

After reading Kaiyuan Lecture three times, don’t think you have no enemies and hold this position at your age. You will still have some jealous ministers. If you make mistakes in the morning court, just wait for criticism. I even asked some yamen and finally figured out some. Generally, the morning court is the intersection of Yin and Mao, which is equivalent to the five o’clock in the future. Because of the time of the fallen pot, there will be some mistakes. As long as there is no difference of about ten minutes, there will be no responsibility. In other words, you may have to meet the emperor before five o’clock. If the emperor abides by the rules, he will come out to meet the minister at five o’clock, about five o’clock.

There are more than ten minutes in the middle, but you must arrive at the ward at five o'clock, because there will be errors in the leaking pot and the time will be earlier, otherwise it will be miserable. Generally, the emperor will not be absent from the dynasty meeting. However, if the emperor does not come out to see the ministers, the eunuchs come out to announce the edict, and the ministers thank you, so they have to retreat obediently and return to their respective ministries to serve on duty. Or the emperor is not punctual, and I heard that Zhao Kuangyin likes to do this. Sometimes, before dawn, the ministers wait, at two or three o'clock, three or four o'clock (1.24 minutes, 14.4 minutes at a time).

It will be very fast for twelve minutes. If you wait for an hour, you will not complain, so everyone will talk about the mountains in the waiting yard.

However, this is not tragic. If you get up early or see the wrong time, you will not let anyone go when the hospital is leaked, so you stand outside and wait, especially in winter. The earliest official who came is standing in the cold wind, dark, will feel very uncomfortable.

Song Jiu is not lazy. When he came to this era, he had too many things to do and slept soundly at night, and gradually developed the good habit of getting up early and going to bed early. However, when he entered the ward at the fifth day of the day, Song Jiu was not used to it.

On the night of the 30th, Song Jiuyang asked Yuping and Cui'er to take turns. He had to wake him up at that time, otherwise he would sleep until 5:20 am and get up. Then he would wear court clothes, wash his combs, and then go to the hall to wait for the court stick.

I went to bed early but couldn't sleep. It seemed that I was about to fall asleep until the third day of the day.

After a while of sleep, Yuping came over to wake him up. She and Cui'er got up and boiled the wash water. Song Jiu hurriedly washed his face and brushed his teeth, and asked sleepily: "When is it now?"

Yuping looked at the hourglass and said, "It's three o'clock in the fourth update (fourth and twelve)."

With more than forty minutes left, Song Jiu did not dare to delay and rode Dahei towards the imperial city.

He was not late, but he didn't come early. Most of the ministers came and saw Song Jiu coming, they were silent. Song Jiu bowed: "I have met you seniors."

Someone smiled kindly, while others remained silent. Chu Zhaofu pulled him over and said, "Song Jiu, this is the official of the Three Divisions. I will introduce you to you."

There were not many officials who could attend the morning court in the Sansi, with more than 40 people. There was no deputy envoy of the Sansi, that is, the Sansi envoy, including himself, two judges of the Sansi, chief officers of the Sansi, chief officers of the Sansi, and judges of the Sansi, and some officials of the Ministry who supervised the accounting inspection. There were also Kongmu officials, various case departments, entrusted officials, and entrusted officials, but these officials could only participate in the grand court meeting and were not qualified to participate in daily courts. There were more, lower-level small bureaucrats and minor officials of the various court cases. No matter what kind of court meeting it was, it had nothing to do with them.

Song Jiuyi bowed one by one, and then said, "I feel uneasy when I see you all respected and I am not at ease. Chu Si Envoy, either you impeach me after today and ask Your Majesty to remove my position or demote me. Just like Senior Wu, you can be a hook official, and I am the best at checking the account."

Many ministers were not very happy at first, but when they heard this, they finally laughed together. Liu Wensou said angrily: "This is a court meeting, don't play monkeys, otherwise I will definitely impeach you."

"Liu Zhongcheng, what I said is the actual thing. This cannot be impeached. Or you impeach me and let Your Majesty demote my official position early."

"If I really want me to impeach you, I will suggest that Your Majesty demote you to a strict county as the chief magistrate, and let the magistrate hone your naughtiness."

"Old Liu, don't scare him, it will get better slowly." Chu Zhaofu said.

Song Jiu was helpless. No one else could do it, so Old Liu could do it. So he stood there and pretended to be mute.

Several ministers rushed over and began to put the ministers in the waiting-out courtyard. Fortunately, there were charcoal fires inside and more than a dozen coal stoves. Some ministers came early and were older, so they were so cold outside that they began to stretch out their hands to warm their hands on the coal stove.
