Chapter 2555

Shi Diwen explained the reason for continuing the old imperial examination system, but Bai Letong, like the first two questioning companions, was not convinced immediately, but continued to ask questions: "Junior thinks that if the imperial examination method is different from the previous one,

The style of the test questions completely copied the old system of the former Ming Dynasty. How can we fulfill the requirements of the Executive Committee and make the imperial examination reflect the new atmosphere of the new dynasty? Moreover, these people in the township examination are all former Ming Dynasty scholars and retired officials.

How can we ensure their position and professional ethics?"

Shi Diwen said: "When we arrived in Sanya more than 20 years ago, we also thought that one day the dynasty would change and the world would completely change. But now that we have actually come this far, we have discovered everything.

It’s not easy, governing the world is much more difficult than conquering the world.”

"Perhaps you have seen the rapid changes in Hainan Island in the past few years and think that the same measures can be applied to other areas, but have you ever thought that the world we want to take over is as big as hundreds of Hainan Islands?

The same is true for the population. If you want to change the world, it will not be possible to issue a few decrees. It may take several generations."

"Why should the Township Examination Office appoint these people? Because they represent the literati and bureaucrats of the previous dynasty. For ordinary people, they are the most influential group of people. We need to let them endorse the imperial examination held by Haihan

, so that civilian literati can dispel their doubts and devote themselves to the process of talent selection."

At this point, Shi Diwen paused deliberately, as if to allow Bai Letong to fully digest what he meant. After a moment, he continued: "You think their position and professional ethics are not credible, but in fact we have already weighed them.

Pros and cons, if our people are completely used to host this provincial examination, it may affect the enthusiasm of applicants, but appointing these people to host the provincial examination can attract more people to sign up to participate. Which is more important, I believe

It’s not difficult for you to make a judgment.”

Shi Diwen raised Bai Letong's issue to the national level for explanation, which made it difficult for Bai Letong to argue. After all, the information possessed by the two sides was too different. Although Bai Letong questioned the opinions of these people in the township pilot program,

position, but it is true that no concrete evidence can be produced to overturn Shi Diwen's statement.

Shi Diwen continued: "Fort Victory asked you to come to Hangzhou to participate in hosting this year's township examination. My opinion is that the emphasis is on participation, not hosting. The work involved in the township examination is not just about setting questions and reviewing, but also ensuring that thousands of people

Candidates have to coordinate with all aspects of food, accommodation and transportation during the exam in Hangzhou and direct and arrange relevant security work. You have just arrived in Hangzhou and are not very familiar with the local situation, so you may not be able to get started in this area quickly.

Affairs."

Shi Diwen's words definitely hit Bai Letong's shortcomings. Although he was nominally the imperial minister sent by Fort Victory to Hangzhou to participate in the organization of the rural examination, he arrived here because he arrived in a hurry and the preparations were not sufficient.

The actual work that I can actually do in the future is also extremely limited.

Bai Letong wanted to change the existing organizational model and question-setting style of the imperial examination. Just verbal opposition would not do. If he could not come up with a specific implementation plan, Shi Diwen would definitely not support his idea, nor would he allow it.

It is up to him to freely change various measures currently being implemented in the township.

"Thank you Uncle Shi for your advice. This junior has learned a lesson!" Bai Letong knew that he was unable to refute, so he still followed the etiquette and thanked Shi Diwen.

Shi Diwen turned his attention to Ning Zijing. Among the four people from Sanya, the other three had already talked about the problems they encountered in Hangzhou. Ning Zijing was the only one who had not yet spoken.

Ning Zijing was very happy, saying that he had been warmly received by Qiong Lianfa after arriving in Hangzhou, and had not encountered any difficult problems so far.

Shi Diwen smiled and said: "Things in the business world are often relatively simple. They are nothing more than obvious interests. The person in charge of Qiong Lianfa here is Li Fa, the boss of the Li family. You should talk to him

Have we met before?"

Ning Zijing said: "Shopkeeper Li is currently away on business and has not returned to Hangzhou, so I haven't been able to meet him yet."

Shi Diwen nodded and said: "The relationship between the Li family and the executive committee has been long-standing. Li Fa has also been dealing with us for many years. He is relatively stable and trustworthy. If you have any errands, you can just ask directly

, let him cooperate."

Compared with dealing with the problems of the previous three people, it was very easy to go to Ning Zijing's place. Shi Diwen only needed to give some advice in a few words.

Commercial organizations like Qiong Lianfa with a certain official background will basically report their trading activities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the government, and even complete some material procurement and long-distance shipping business for the government. For Qiong Lianfa in Jiangsu and Zhejiang,

For the business carried out, the Donghai Region Management Committee will also provide some support overtly and covertly.

After several other people arrived in Hangzhou, they would inevitably encounter various new problems due to the change of working environment, but Ning Zijing would not have such troubles. His position in Qiong Lianfa was only a "consultant".

Generally speaking, they will not be directly involved in the business activities of various businesses under Qiong Lianfa, so there is no conflict of interest at all. When they go to overseas offices, the local responsible persons will provide them with good food and accommodation, and try their best to satisfy them.

various demands it makes.

"I know that you all want to take this opportunity to go out to work and prove your abilities to your fathers. I can understand your mood, but I want to remind you that although Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been included in the jurisdiction of our country, in fact

The situation is still very different from that of Hainan Island. Many things cannot be completely copied from your previous practices, and the environment here must be taken into consideration."

Shi Diwen said in a deep voice: "I also want to speed up the pace of transformation of these areas, so that Hangzhou can become a prosperous and convenient city like Sanya as soon as possible, but food still has to be eaten bite by bite. If our approach is too radical, it will

It is easy to destroy the hard-won stable situation. I hope you can remember that although we have achieved victory over the Ming Dynasty, at this stage, whether it is governance or military affairs, we need to focus on the overall situation. Anyone who stands more firmly can

Weigh the pros and cons at a high level, and don’t use personal likes and dislikes as the criterion for judgment.”

Although everyone was not completely convinced by Shi Diwen's previous explanation, they still nodded silently in agreement after hearing these words. If they are not in their positions and do not seek their own policies, if they cannot look at these issues from Shi Diwen's perspective,

It is indeed difficult to fully understand some of the measures implemented by the Donghai Region.
