The passage of the House of Representatives in the Hanlin Court was naturally not smooth.

After Lin Yanchao's words, he gained support from many formerly neutral Hanlins, or Hanlins who already had a good impression of the study of Buddhism and merit.

This finally brought a group of people for himself.

However, in the Hanlin Academy's meeting, the final decisive factor was Lin Yanchao who relied on his authority as a lecturer and the support of Zhang Wei, a bachelor of the school, and he barely passed.

The House of Representatives raised the question to the position of equal importance to the classics, and then Zhang Wei led the report to the emperor.

As for the ministry of the Ministry of Rites, this proposal was of course denied.

Although Guo Zhengyu is an official of the Ministry of Rites, he is only the chief official of the government and has not yet been promoted to a regular official, so the people in the Ministry of Rites are slight.

But I heard from Guo Zhengyu that Lin Yanchao told him later.

The objection of this proposal in the Ministry of Rites was not as strong as that of the Hanlin Academy. That was because the Minister of Rites Chen Li expressed his appreciation and approval. He believed that the current Sutras are indeed very disadvantageous in selecting scholars, which made the juren focus more on knowledge that is practical in the world, and it is also a way to eliminate the accumulated disadvantages of selecting scholars.

However, although Chen Li said this, his attitude was not firm. On the contrary, most of the officials in the Ministry of Rites still supported Neo-Confucianism. However, how many of the censors in the Ministry of Rites were inconsistent with Shen Shixing.

Therefore, the Ministry of Rites expressed its objection to the proposal without any unexpected countermeasures.

Lin Yanchao was not surprised at all about this result, but was a little surprised at the support of the Ministry of Rites and Shen Li.

Chen Li is a true Confucian scholar of Neo-Confucianism and is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. There is no need to support himself because of this, but Chen Li has a first-class tolerance and acceptance attitude towards the study of merits.

Before traveling through time, I heard that the Confucian scholars were pedantic, but now it seems a bit biased.

The Confucian style of academic research is generally tolerant, and of course the premise is not to not touch the bottom line.

When Wang Yangming founded the study of the Heart, many great scholars of Neo-Confucianism jumped out to criticize, but criticism was criticism.

Scholars who study the mind still study and become officials. When the opposition was fierce, several officials who pursued study the mind entered the cabinet and even became chief ministers.

Economic development, accompanied by ideological liberation, especially in Su, Wu, and other new ideas were bursting. It was not only a study of one's own merits, but also a Neo-Confucianism that wanted to challenge the dominant position within the Confucianism. As for the study of the mind, although other schools of mind have declined, the Taizhou school was not the only one.

This is not only within Confucianism, but also other schools of thought are blooming. Compared with Confucianism that has entered the world, other transcendental studies are more popular.

Therefore, this made Lin Yanchao worried that he would not promote the academic achievements among scholars as soon as possible. At that time, it would not be that Neo-Confucianism defeated himself, but that scholars were addicted to the extravagant trend of enjoyment, or talked all day long, and their academic style became increasingly impetuous and forgot to make progress.

Therefore, this time it is extremely important for the reform of the imperial examination. It is not only a step to promote the learning of merit, but also a request to the emperor to support his determination to reform.

However, if you change the world, you must first promote the world-wide learning. If you rely on a person's power, even if he is an emperor or a prime minister, you will fail.

Therefore, we must gather a group of people, a group of people with ideals, and a group of people who are willing to pioneer the Genesis. History tells us that people with such expectations will become extremely powerful.

The current three Confucian schools, only Linxue combines Legalism, is a resolute reformist, reformist, and actionist.

Lin Xue’s theory of merit is weaker than Neo-Confucianism. Many great scholars and folk scholars criticized Lin Xue for criticizing Lin Xue.

Therefore, to achieve the status of a prominent scholar, one must correct one's reputation in the imperial examination. Therefore, even if it fails this time, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is to let Neo-Confucianism face this theory through this discussion and ministry discussion, so that they know that there is a theory that is competing with them for the authentic position of Confucianism, and merit is not just a school like the study of the mind and the study of qi.

Even if you fail a step back, it will be a good advertising effect.

But it seems that the situation is very good now. As long as you pass the Hanlin Academy, it will be a victory. The Hanlin Academy, which is the most outstanding scholars in the world, agrees with Linxue.

And not only that, now the Hanlin Academy supports it and the Ministry of Rites opposes it, and the two sides fight one to one. As for the end, it depends on the emperor's wishes. If you say that if you pass it in one day, you will be a complete victory.

After the Hanlin Academy's meeting, Lin Yanchao returned home in a carriage.

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Jichuan reported that several Henan officials were asking for a visit. People from his hometown came, and Sun Chengzong also arrived.

Lin Yanchao heard that other names were fine, but he heard that Sun Chengzong had arrived, but he looked happy.

Chen Jichuan asked, "Did you see Mr. Sun first?"

Lin Yanchao picked up the official's post and said, "No, these Henan officials came to see me because they were mostly because of their owed money. They asked me to speak in the cabinet. This can be a favor and see them first."

As for the living room.

At this time, another wave of guests came.

These people also came to Beijing to take the exam, namely Chen Yinglong, Chen Ruoyu, and Lin Jiheng.

Chen Yinglong was Lin Yanchao's classmate when he was at Lianpu College. Chen Ruoyu was the son of Chen Jin, the top scholar from Fuzhou, and the brother of Chen Xinggui. These two were also members of Wenlin Society.

As for Lin Jiheng, he is also a member of Wenlin Club, and he just won the juren this year.

These people also know Lin Xin, but they just nodded in this way. They came to Beijing from their hometown to take the exam, but they didn't get together. The sudden encounter here made Lin Xin feel at a loss.

After a while, Chen Yinglong smiled and said, "Brother Xuegong is here."

When everyone heard this, they saw Lin Yanchao in front of the door. They all stood up immediately. They and Lin Yanchao were both old acquaintances and saluted one by one, but Lin Xin had never seen him listed at the end of everyone.

Lin Xin saw that Lin Yanchao was two or three years older than him, but his demeanor during his actions was beyond description.

I heard that when Lin Yanchao was appointed as the magistrate, he killed a favored eunuch next to the empress dowager.

He is a great scholar today. In recent years, his academic achievements have spread all over the country. No matter whether he is interested in studying and applying what he has learned, scholars have learned a lot, and what is the saying "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world"? No matter whether he is a believer in the Linshu, everyone will say a few words.

Therefore, when Lin Xin first met his fellow clan, the official seal officer and the great scholar's knowledge were integrated into one place. This kind of demeanor is unforgettable.

When it was Lin Xin's turn to bow, Lin Xin was a little nervous and immediately bowed: "Nephew Lin Xin, I have met my uncle."

Lin Yanchao laughed in surprise and said, "When did my seniority become so old?"

Everyone laughed.

Lin Xin couldn't help but feel embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Yuan Keli rushed to ask: "Dare you ask the teacher, will the court discuss the position of giving equal importance to the principles of the classics?"

Everyone looked at Lin Yanchao. This matter was related to the three thousand students' examinations today, and of course everyone present was concerned about it.

"Don't talk about business in private, don't ask."

Yuan Keli immediately lowered his head and said, "It's the student Meng Lang."

Lin Yanchao nodded, then looked at Chen Yinglong and asked, "Brother Weng, why didn't Brother Gong see him?"

Chen Yinglong said: "Brother Weng failed the exam many times and now he serves as a teacher in Yanping Prefecture. As for Brother Gong's family, some changes have occurred."

Weng Zhengchun gave up the imperial examination and instead became an official as an official, which made Lin Yanchao feel sorry for him. He also heard that something happened to Gong Zinan’s family, so he couldn’t help but ask.

Chen Yinglong said: "We don't know what happened, but Brother Gong has been disappointed in recent years, which is what everyone sees. When I went to see him last year, he had no plans to study and become an official. Later, he even heard that he had gone into the mountains and did not see any old friends."

Lin Yanchao was immediately sad when he heard this.

Among the classmates at that time, Lin Yanchao and Gong Zinan had the best relationship. With the Gong family's family at that time, he intended to get married with him, but Lin Yanchao climbed up.

But after the marriage failed, the two of them became separated and then went further and further.

Lin Yanchao remembered that he, Ye Xianggao, Gong Zinan, Chen Yinglong, and Zhou Pingzhi, took a boat back to the academy to visit the mountain captain.

It was still raining slightly when I was taking a boat across the river. Lin Yanchao and several classmates passed the exam together. It was the time when I was full of confidence and spirit.

When I returned to the academy, the head of the mountain encouraged everyone to learn and move forward, and then everyone was so happy to travel in the academy.

At that time, everyone was so young that it seemed that many things were within their reach in the future, and they didn’t know the taste of sorrow when they were young.

Lin Yanchao said: "Brother Gong saw through the world and was more free and easy than those who were like us who were in the world of fame and fortune."

Chen Yinglong said: "Among me, Brother Gong was the most innocent and innocent. He didn't study and become an official, or it was a pity that his talent was learned. If he was asked to roll around in the world, it would be unfit for him. If he was in the empty sect, he might be the most suitable for him."

Lin Yanchao said happily when he heard this: "Brother Dejian's words are far more knowledgeable than me, and I am very impressed."

Chen Yinglong said: "I dare not take this as a saying. I still can't see fame and fortune. Otherwise, what would I do if I traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to take the exam?"

Everyone laughed as they said that.

Lin Xin also felt the pure classmate between Lin Yanchao, Chen Yinglong, and Gong Zinan when he watched. He could feel that this was pure from the heart, not fake. He couldn't help but think that his uncle said that they were mutual use in the officialdom, and you would like to support me, and I would like to support you. These words seemed inappropriate to Uncle Lin.

Chen Yinglong came down and was Chen Ruoyu.

Gong Zinan's uncle was the top scorer, and Chen Ruoyu's father Chen Jin was also the top scorer. However, Chen Jin unfortunately passed away in Fuzhou's military disaster that year.

Lin Yanchao talked to Chen Ruoyu for a few words, and then asked about Chen Zhenlong's planting sweet potatoes in his hometown.

Chen Ruoyu replied that Chen Zhenlong has not only successfully introduced the seeds early, but also promoted the planting of many people in his hometown. Last year, there was a small famine in his hometown, and the people successfully survived the sweet potatoes.

Now the Chen family plans to promote it to the provincial prefectures and prefectures, and even send people to Guangdong, Jiangxi and Zhejiang for trial planting.

Lin Yanchao was very pleased when he heard this and said, "If this matter is done, your Chen family will make contributions to the country and profits for the future. If the local government does not support it, I will argue with the officials in Fujian."

With Lin Yanchao's current status, even the governor of Fujian would sell him three points of face, let alone other officials.

Chen Ruoyu couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, "This is great."

Lin Yanchao smiled. It was the 25th year of Wanli in history that Chen Ruoyu introduced sweet potato seeds to Fujian for planting. However, because of Lin Yanchao, it was advanced to the eighth year of Wanli. Even with the funds and manpower of the Chen family in Changle, and Lin Yanchao greeted him in the officialdom, the trial seed spread of sweet potatoes was much faster than before.

What Chen Zhenlong and the others have to do is to select good seeds from them after each harvest, and promote them to other farmers one by one. This is all a matter of time being accumulated.

Chen Zhenlong brought sweet potatoes back to China, from the original acres of land to one county, from one county to another within a few years, and now to various prefectures in the province, as well as other provinces for trial planting.

Although farming is the national talent of my big flower family, in the era without the boss Yuan Longping, if Lin Yanchao had not been able to rely on Lin Yanchao to make a move, otherwise the sweet potato would have to play a role in history at least more than a hundred years later, and the Ming Dynasty would have passed away early. Lin Yanchao would not do this when the predecessors planted trees and later generations enjoyed the shade.

Success does not have to be with me, but with my so-and-so. bureaucrats like Lin Yanchao often have the next sentence and the next sentence.

Chen Ruoyu smiled and said, "This time I came from my hometown, and it was a good harvest of sweet potatoes. Zhenlong told me for a long time to bring some and ask me to bring some to try it out by Mr. Xuegong. If I hadn't stopped this, I would have brought a ship of sweet potatoes."

"Where do I eat so much in a boat?" Lin Yanchao smiled and instantly understood what Chen Zhenlong meant.

Lin Yanchao looked at Lin Xin, and Lin Jiheng asked, "Have you eaten sweet potatoes in your hometown?"

Lin Xin has eaten it. This sweet potato tastes good, but eating too much will cause qi to be congested. When there was a famine last year, I heard that sweet potatoes saved many poor people's lives, that's all.
