Wealth and honor do not return home, such as brocade clothing at night, this is the case in ancient and modern China and abroad.

If you are developed, of course you have to pretend to be coercive in front of acquaintances, otherwise there will be no sense of counterattack.

Li Yao organized a gathering of Xijiang students, on the surface, to connect the feelings of his classmates, but in reality, it was more or less showing off.

After all, in the past, many people looked down on him, Li Yao.

But now, among those who look down on him, only one has won the top three, and the others have not even passed the test.

Thirty acquaintances packed up the Yuelongmen Pavilion in Victory Building and had a drink.

"Congratulations to Brother Li and Brother Su in high school, for fighting for our Xijiang Academy. Especially, Brother Li, who came out of the top of the list, severely crushed those people in the university hall."

A scholar said that he knew that Li Yao had always been unhappy with the students in the college, so he picked out a phrase that Li Yao liked to hear.

"The people in the college are just relying on the advantage of early enrollment."

Li Yao said disdainfully.

In this imperial examination, the Great Hall was completely wiped out. Not a single one of the first class was included, but a few second class jinshi were included.

Moreover, the proportion of high school students is far lower than expected.

Of course, this is not to say that college halls are all trash.

But it is because the really awesome people in the university hall did not participate in the imperial examinations, there is no need for that.

Those who preside over a certain research project, even if it is a third-rank senior officer, should be polite.

With this status, do you still need to take the exam to become a champion and become a seventh-rank official?

The poor grades in the imperial examinations of the university are not because there are no talents in it, but precisely because the people in it are too talented, and their talents are enough to save them from taking the usual path.

Moreover, the Great Hall is actually a serious emphasis on theory and less on essays. The atmosphere in its college is to take pride in studying mathematics, physics and chemistry, and few people study policy theories and articles.

This caused them to suffer a lot in the palace exam.

Li Yao's shyness made his classmate Zeng Li feel very disgusted and felt that Li Yao was a very hypocritical person.

In the past, Li Yao was strongly opposed to the new-style imperial examinations and the new-style learning.

How do you know that this guy is against it on the surface, but secretly works hard to learn, it's too shameless.

Although this guy is indeed smart and capable, Zeng Liwei just looks down on him.

He sneered, "Didn't Brother Li criticize the new-style imperial examination before, I wonder if Brother Li has changed the new-style imperial examination now?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became a little embarrassing.

Hit people without slaps in the face, his words are too gunpowder.

However, everyone is not surprised, because the two of them have never dealt with each other.

Li Yao, who asked this question, was speechless. The new imperial examination, which he had been extremely opposed to, made him a beneficiary.

If you change to a thick-skinned person, you will be fine if you admit that you were wrong in the past.

But Li Yao was not happy to do so.

He said: "The new imperial examination is naturally not perfect and has various drawbacks. Fortunately, His Majesty Shengming can still find talents in this imperfect imperial examination..."

"Brother Li, let's not talk about this today, let's talk about the experience of the palace test, let everyone learn the skills, get your light, and be good at high school in the future."

Su Jiakang, who was also in high school, pulled Li Yao, implying that he should be cautious.

I used to be a student, no problem whatsoever. Dahua is more tolerant of students' remarks, allowing them to have their own ideas.

But now that you have become a member of the officialdom, you need to pay attention to your position.

No matter what you think about the imperial examination, you can't say it easily. This imperial examination was designed by Wu Changqing. Continuing to criticize the new imperial examination does not mean that he is doing something against the emperor.

Leading the official position rewarded by the emperor, holding the salary of the court, and then spraying the court, only the official can do this.

If other officials express such views and reach other officials' ears, it is a point of attack.

As an official, it is best to be cautious in words and deeds.

With Su Jiakang rounding up the game, the atmosphere was a little more harmonious.

Li Yao continued to talk eloquently, talking about his experience in the palace exam: "You must be bold in answering questions, you must be sharp, and dare to speak out about the shortcomings of the court..."

Those who believe in this kind of experience may benefit, but there may be more unfortunate ones.

Li Yao was meeting with his classmates, while Ouyang Shiqi was studying Shanghai.

Going to Shanghai to be a magistrate, the pressure is still quite big.

When he was awarded the magistrate of Shanghai, several court officials sent him congratulations and some words of encouragement.

This made him even more aware that his position was unusual.

Before going to take office, he was also summoned by Wu Changqing.

This was the only seventh-rank official that Wu Changqing had summoned alone, which already explained the problem.

"Governing Shanghai is easier said than done, and difficult to say. You just need to remember that the economy is the most important indicator, and everything else is secondary."

Wu Changqing taught him the opportunity face-to-face: "In Shanghai, you must be bold, dare to do things that others dare not do, and don't be bound by some old-fashioned words. For example, some old and stupid people like to use women to work and talk about things, you You cannot be bound by this traditional thinking.

Everything is changing today, and so does thinking. There is nothing wrong with women working, but keeping them at home is a huge waste of labor and is not conducive to economic development.

exhibition. "

Women's work is immoral, railway construction affects feng shui, machines are too loud, businessmen are not old enough to benefit people's hearts, etc. There are many such remarks in the market.

If you are influenced by these remarks and dare not let go of it, it is obviously not to Wu Changqing's appetite.

"Your Majesty, remember your majesty's teachings."

Ouyang Shiqi said.

He recognized Wu Changqing's words very much, because during his time in Nanjing, he saw with his own eyes the benefits brought about by economic development.

Because he came from a poor family, he clearly knew that there were still many people in the world who could not get enough to eat.

For those people, the most important thing is to eat well and live a good life, and all etiquette and morality are clouds.

In the countryside of his hometown, there is no saying that women can't show their faces, and no women have their feet bound.

Because, in rural areas, women also have to work in the fields, otherwise men alone cannot support their families.

"Being an official in Shanghai will be different from other places. I can't explain this to you one by one. You still need to understand and practice it yourself.

In short, follow a principle, whether it is a black cat or a white cat, the cat that can catch mice is a good cat. As long as Shanghai's economy can maintain rapid development, it doesn't matter what means.

Problems arising from development can be solved later when they become prosperous. "

Wu Changqing said.

His words can be said to be very radical, and even hinted that Ouyang Shiqi should not be too law-abiding.

As long as the economy can be developed to make money, some illegal means can also be used appropriately.

Ouyang Shiqi was quite surprised by these remarks, but he could also feel Wu Changqing's emphasis on the economy and grasped the key points of governing Shanghai.

The next day, he packed his luggage and sailed south to Shanghai.

And Li Yao, Qian Xuemin and others also went to their respective departments to report.

Dahua's first imperial examination materials began their official career.
