Although it is a military dance, the people wearing armor are all pretty girls.
A group of soldiers, who had rarely seen a girl in the army, were as excited as hungry wolves, and their eyes were wide open.
In order to stimulate the patriotic sentiments of the soldiers, Luo Youdu also asked people to write a book based on the evil deeds committed by the Khitan when they took over the Central Plains, or arranged for storytellers to describe them, or directly performed a play to express the cruelty and inhumanity of the Khitan Kingdom.
Most people in this era were relatively simple, or many people had experienced the Khitan's march south and felt their tyranny, and they were all filled with righteous indignation.
He yelled at the actor playing the Khitan on stage.
If precautions are not taken in advance, an assault may even occur.
Where do soldiers in this era enjoy such benefits?
In just over a month, Fan Zhigu, the political commissar, won the love of Shi Shouxin's ministry.
This time it was the other troops' turn to be upset.
They are all soldiers of the Luo Yu court, and they all share the same emperor. Why does Shi Shouxin's ministry have such treatment, but they have nothing?
Soon Luo Youdu received a joint petition from palace commander Han Lingkun, horse commander Gao Huaide, and step commander Han Tong, unanimously applying for the implementation of the administrative committee system.
In fact, the implementation of the executive committee system is just a matter of smooth sailing.
Ever since the Yuyingsi set an example, Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, and Han Tong, the three politically savvy military bosses, have already had this premonition.
However, this kind of thing is not something they can easily make a decision on.
There are more than 100,000 people in front of the palace, the bodyguards and the army, more than 30 armies, and more than 60 people commanding and envoys on the left and right. As the leaders of the imperial army, they must first consider the mood of the generals.
Now Shi Shouxin has made a start and achieved impressive results.
Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, and Han Tong were all close confidants of Luo Youdu. Luo Youdu treated them very well and thought of them when he was doing anything good.
Now when they need to express their stance, they will naturally respond with their voices.
Compared with the intrigues of the literati, the reform and restructuring of the military commanders was obviously much easier and did not encounter many obstacles.
Luo Youdu was also extremely satisfied with this.
After all, the situation in civil and military affairs is different. No matter how the civil servants make trouble, Luo Youdu is not afraid or alarmed. If the generals make trouble, it will be a headache.
After all, military commanders have soldiers at their disposal. Even if they cannot threaten Luo Youdu, they will have a bad impact on morale.
This is also the reason why Luo Youdu has postponed the reform until today. He needs a peaceful and safe environment to deal with the impact of the failure of reform.
It was April 3rd, the first year of Yongjing's reign.
On this day, no court meeting was held, but Luo Youdu dressed more carefully than at the court meeting.
The results of the Gongyuan Academy have come out, and the first place is Bi Shi'an, a famous scholar from Chang'an.
Bi Shi'an was originally talented and rigorous in his studies. Under the influence of the butterfly effect, he studied under the great scholar Dou Yujun. He was full of knowledge and made further progress.
The articles he wrote in Gongyuan were neat and beautiful, and every word was exquisite. He deserved to be ranked first in the province and city.
The second place is Zhang Quhua, the third place is Ma Shi, the fourth place is Su Dexiang...
They are all selected at the moment, a total of three hundred people.
Luo Youdu had to personally select three Jinshis among these three hundred, as well as several Jinshis from the same background.
These are the future pillars of the imperial court and the disciples of the emperor. As the emperor, Luo Youdu naturally had to face his students with a solemn attitude.
The palace examination was held in Jiying Hall, and three hundred students gathered in the hall to pay homage.
"No gifts! Being able to pass the provincial examination is enough to show that you are all heroes in the world and the future pillars of the imperial court. I look forward to your performance and wish you good results in advance."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Luo Youdu continued: "However, it is inevitable that you will not perform well in the exam. After today, some of you will fail. I hope that those who fail can look at themselves and make persistent efforts. Failure is the mother of success, and losing the exam for a while does not mean that you will fail."
What does it mean? It’s just a bump in the road of life. Only when you persevere and win a new life can you become a dragon or a phoenix among men."
What he said makes sense.
Historically, the Song Dynasty also adopted an elimination system at the beginning, but they later found that many people who were eliminated by the elimination system were unwilling to fail and went to Xixia and Khitan to serve as officials. There was a brain drain.
So in order to avoid this situation, the mentally retarded person came up with a way.
As long as the scholars enter the palace examination, they will be admitted and will not be eliminated.
Therefore, for every imperial examination, the court would recruit three to four hundred more officials.
Originally, in the Song Dynasty, due to the recommendation system, several officials could perform one actual job, resulting in serious redundancy. They also continued to pass the imperial examinations and recruit three to four hundred officials...
Luo Youdu does not intend to change the elimination system in order to take care of the glass heart.
If you are eliminated, instead of looking for problems within yourself, you will resent others.
What future can such a person have?
Luo Youdu took the examination questions he had prepared these days from the table, and read aloud to the more than 300 people in front of him: "The theme of this palace examination is how to control the Yellow River."
In the palace examination, which examines current affairs, Luo Youdu will ask one big question and two small questions, not just one.
Just like this time, the big topic is to control the Yellow River, and the smaller topic is how to persuade the mountain people to come down the mountain; some suggestions for the people's livelihood in Longyou.
The direction of the test questions is different. Some people are not good at water control, people's livelihood, or eloquence theory. There must be one thing that they are proficient in.
Of course, the big question will definitely score the most points, there is no doubt about this.
In addition to current affairs, there are also article topics.
If you write well, you may have a chance to become an official.
Historians and the Imperial College also need people with good literary talents.
In short, as long as you have a certain skill, it is not difficult to become a third-level scholar and a Jinshi.
Of course, if you want to win the top three, you need a comprehensive and balanced score.
Regulating the Yellow River is what Luo Youdu is most worried about at the moment. He vaguely remembers that the Yellow River flooded continuously in the early Song Dynasty, and it was not until the Yellow River changed its course that things improved slightly.
However, the diversion of the Yellow River has meant that the management of the Yellow River has failed. The diverted river water has flooded a large number of fields and houses, and washed away and destroyed everything it passed.
The Yellow River has dried up this winter, so Luo Youdu ordered local officials to organize a Yellow River dredging project.
However, the progress was extremely unsatisfactory because the silt in the Yellow River exceeded expectations.
The rainy season has arrived early again, and dredging work has to be stopped.
The magistrate of Juancheng County, Jia Jue, wrote to prepare for flood control this year.
Jia Jue, a former doctor in the Ministry of Water Resources, was very accomplished in water control.
Juancheng County is adjacent to the corner of the lower reaches of the Yellow River and is plagued by floods all year round.
Luo Youdu appointed him as the magistrate of Juancheng County to make him effective in the field of water.
Jia Jue's work in Juancheng County was quite effective, but this year the sediment was far greater than before, and the Yellow River was filled with water ahead of schedule, so there was no manpower to do it.
If the weather is not good this year and there is too much rain, the Yellow River will overflow.
How to solve the problem of the Yellow River is the most important national affairs of the court at present.
Naturally, it became a major topic in this imperial examination.
