Jiang Shan was very interested: "I think if we can occupy the position of the prefect, we can try to transfer him to other posts in advance. We can spend money to transfer him to Nanjing or the central department of the Communist Party of China. It's not about talking about things.
Many people in the Lin Party are working very hard to sell their official positions and get titles. Can they get things done if they just give them money?"
"Again, who will go?" Chen Tianxiong shook his head, "It stands to reason that placing such a person is beneficial and harmless, but it is impossible to select such a person among the elders."
"Is it very dangerous?"
"This danger is based on the fact that no elder has the ability to play a qualified Ming official. He will be exposed as soon as he appears. Not to mention the most obvious problems of accent and appearance, none of the elders has the basic qualities of a Ming intellectual.
." Lin Baiguang shook his head with regret, "This cannot be learned by just taking a few months of supplementation. This opportunity is actually very good..."
"It would be great if we were in the Qing Dynasty. There would be a team of donors everywhere, and any bad person could become an official." Wang Ding said.
Lin Baiguang said, "I propose to choose a trustworthy native to pretend to be Leizhou to pay. This is the only possibility for Tang Monk's plan to succeed."
"Can the natives be trusted? Could it be that the officials got confused and sold us out to find a real official position? I am not afraid of others, but I am afraid that the elders who control the situation behind the scenes will suffer. If we are far away, we will not be able to save people in time."
"Then his own crime is serious enough." Lin Baiguang said, "I think we can still catch him. As long as everyone uses their brains, there is still a way to figure it out. Yu E Shui was very interested in this matter at the beginning, I suggest you
You might as well talk to him."
"This matter is very difficult," Yu Eshui said as usual. "The ideal situation is for us to find a veteran to be the prefect. But I have done some research and found that even if we train him from now on, this person is smart and studies hard. He does not have two or three years to work.
It can’t be done either.”
He was responsible for the retrieval and compilation of historical materials in the big library, and he didn't have much to do. In his free time, he spent a lot of energy on the Tang Monk Plan to study its feasibility - rather than saying that Yu E Shui really wanted to promote this plan, it was more of a
This kind of leisure research work is similar to the topic of "how a modern person became an official in the Ming Dynasty" in the past. The more I research, the more interested I become. It feels like writing a thesis and doing a project in the past. And it has the biggest advantage.
, that is, he was living in the Ming Dynasty. Although the imperial examination was not popular in Lingao, it had produced a Jinshi, several candidates, and a group of scholars. The imperial examination was living around him, and there was no need to keep trying to figure out what was in the book.
No matter how you say it, you still need to verify its authenticity.
In addition to reviewing historical materials, he also visited a group of imperial examination figures in Lingao County and asked them for various knowledge about the imperial examination. This included several scholars and candidates in the county, Wang Jiaoyu from the county school, and even Liu Dalin also met with him
Once - Liu Dalin didn't know what his calculations were. He thought that this young Australian was "enlightened to enlightenment" and wanted to take part in the imperial examination. He was immediately greatly impressed. He not only talked about his experience in the imperial examination, but also talked a lot about how to write eight-legged essays and write exams.
The skill of writing poems also inspired several contemporary masters of writing "white posts", such as Wei Mo, who taught him to write poems.
"During the palace examination, it is better to write large, smooth and round papers. A good word is better than a good article." Liu Dalin taught him earnestly, "The palace examination is said to be a personal examination by the emperor. In fact, the papers recommended by the examiner shall prevail.
, the emperor just ordered the ranking with his pen. The ranking will be decided in a moment in the imperial examination. Who will read your article? The first test paper recommended by the examiner is calligraphy. "
Finally, Liu Dalin took out a few Weijuan collected works that he had just bought from Guangzhou, and talked about the changes in writing style during the recent imperial examinations, as well as his tendency in writing when the imperial court was recruiting scholars.
Although this knowledge was of little use to the study of Eshui, he admired it very much - as expected, guessing and guessing questions has existed since ancient times.
But in this way, Yu Eshui basically despaired of the idea that a modern person could be an official of the Ming Dynasty.
"... Our fake prefect does not need to go through the imperial examination - which is better, but at least he must understand the rules of the imperial examination. For example, the writing of eight-legged essays and the judgment of good and bad. If you don't understand these, how can you deal with the problems in the government?
You will be exposed when you are doing academic work; the second is to be able to write poetry." Yu Eshui said, "I don't know that any of the more than 500 of us can write real ancient poetry, but as a person who passed the imperial examination
It’s normal for people to not have a high level of poetry. It’s strange if they don’t. In addition to the eight-legged essay, you have to write test poems in the imperial examination. If you can’t write poetry and don’t understand meter and rhyme, what will others think of your subject name?
It’s time to ask a few questions!”
Everyone's hearts were already sinking. Needless to say, eight-legged essays and test poems, these things were just like the Book of Heaven.
"...Then I have to talk about calligraphy." There was a strange smile on Yu Eshui's face, as if he was an intellectual posing a difficult problem. "Most modern students have developed the habit of using computers to do things.
Due to word processing habits, writing pen calligraphy and pencil calligraphy is already shaky now. If I write calligraphy with brush, I might not even be as good as the business boy in the shop. I still need to practice calligraphy - in addition, everyone who has passed the imperial examination can write
White post, this needs to be practiced separately."
"When you say that, doesn't it mean there is no hope at all?!" Wang Ding said.
Chen Tianxiong nodded with an expression of "That's the way it is" and said, "If it weren't for these problems, why would it have stopped in the first place?"
"There are still many problems! There is also an accent. We are generally accustomed to speaking Mandarin - this kind of Mandarin is based on modern Japanese dialect, and modern Japanese dialect is based on the Chinese dialect of the Qing Dynasty.
It was developed in the Ming Dynasty. How did the Chinese language come about in the Qing Dynasty?" Yu Eshui smiled mysteriously, "It was mainly the aboriginal people of the Ming Dynasty plus the Eight Banners and the large number of Liaodong Chen who they brought into the customs.
Military Han people are a mixture of the accents of the three."
"You mean, our accent has something in common with the Tatars?" Jiang Shan was shocked.
"Strictly speaking, it is similar to the Chen Jun Han people in Liaodong," Yu Eshui said. "Of course, the two languages are not the same thing, and the similarity is not necessarily very high, but there are indeed similarities."
"I think the accent problem can be changed. It won't be too difficult." Lin Baiguang said, "I can now speak the Mandarin of the Ming Dynasty - it is similar to modern Nanjing dialect. If you are determined to learn it, it is not difficult. Three or four months will be enough. Let's talk about the accent.
The problem is not a big flaw, there have been no flaws in Guangzhou and Leizhou."
"The accent problem is relatively easy to solve. Officials can generally get by if they learn Mandarin." Yu Eshui said, "But the first two points are difficult, especially the first point."
"There are still two years left. It should be okay to do some training on a surprise basis."
"According to Liu Dalin and the scholars in this county, it takes about ten years for a person to get to the level of a scholar from the beginning. Of course, whether you can pass the exam depends on luck. The exam for a scholar is more difficult than the master's degree exam.
It's much more difficult." Yu Eshui said, "Although the fake magistrate does not need to take the imperial examination directly, it will probably take three or four years to read the Thirteen Classics and be familiar with eight-part essays and poetry.
―The prerequisite is that the person works hard enough and is interested in learning.”
"To sum it up, it is impossible for a senator to be the fake prefect." Jiang Shan said, "Is this what you want to say?"
"I didn't say that. If someone is willing to study hard and is smart enough, maybe he can do it in two years. At least there is someone in Lingao who can teach this knowledge." Yu Eshui said, "The fake prefect has an advantage, that is, his background
The set of place of birth is all ready-made, and there is no need to make it separately. Moreover, there were no photos in ancient times, so it was easy to pretend to be someone else."
"There are many people who are smart enough, but I'm afraid there are no people who are willing to study hard." Jiang Shan knew very well that this group of elders wanted them to study the Thirteen Classics, eight-legged essay, and practice calligraphy as hard as "the lights are on at the end of the day and the chicken is at the end of the night."
It's better to send them to the countryside to work as agricultural technicians. At least they have someone to flatter them, and maybe they can get the daughter of a small landlord.
"It seems that if Tang Monk's plan is really to be implemented, only the indigenous people can choose to use it." Lin Baiguang knew that although Yu Eshui's general theory was suspected of showing off his own research results, the truth was still completely correct.
Jiang Shan said: "In order for indigenous personnel to have this ability, they must also be loyal. This candidate -" he looked embarrassed.
"There is a person you should consider taking a look at." Yu Eshui said, "Zhang Xingjiao. You can check this person's files."
"Thank you." Jiang Shan said, "Our Foreign Intelligence Bureau intends to dispatch intelligence personnel to the mainland. In fact, there are many veterans who are willing to do field work, but after you said this, they are a little hesitant."
"I know," Yu Eshui nodded and said, "My suggestion is that you can send out senators, but it is best not to be an official. Unless you are mixed with the evil army in a remote distant state, it will be easy to be exposed once you socialize with the local gentry.
——Jin gentry generally communicates with the province and the court. Even if it is not a report, common jokes and anecdotes in family letters may cause trouble."
"So, expatriates should still take the route of Guangzhou and Leizhou and become businessmen or something like that?"
"Businessmen, monks, and Taoist priests can do it. Landlords can also make do. It's better to put away the idea of pretending to be an intellectual and plagiarizing Chairman Mao's poems or Nalan Xingde's poems to become a literati and poet as soon as possible - anyone who has this idea
No one is allowed to go out into the field." Yu Eshui seemed to hate this, "We must severely crack down on all unauthorized infringements of ancient people's intellectual property rights! All use of such materials must be approved by the Great Library! Otherwise, it is plagiarism!"
Everyone didn't know why Yu E Shui hated this so much, and they were stunned for a while.
No one knew that a minor embarrassment had occurred when Yu Eshui asked a certain scholar for advice on the imperial examination a few days ago. This scholar's family was a small family in the countryside, and they didn't pay much attention to etiquette.
Inadvertently, he saw his daughter. Yu Eshui was very moved. Yu Eshui took the opportunity to recite a poem by Yuan Mei to express his "talent". The other party's performance was neither "feeling in admiration" nor "praise".
"Extremely", but acted very surprised - it turns out that there has been someone who has plagiarized Yuan Zicai's poem and paid tribute to him here.
When he thought about this, Yu Eshui gritted his teeth. Of course, he could not tell others about his thoughts. He just kept writing an intellectual property memorandum to remind the executive committee that the intellectual property rights of the ancients must be strictly controlled and cannot be used by the elders at will. All
Poems, articles, and works written since the late Ming Dynasty must be applied for before they can be used...
Jiang Shan said jokingly: "Fortunately this is the end of the Ming Dynasty. The only ones who can plagiarize are the Qing Dynasty literati. There are not many Qing Dynasty poets and poets who can plagiarize..." He then coughed: "I think we have to do it ourselves.
A training class will be held to train intelligence personnel. Not only the indigenous people, but also senior veterans who are willing to go out into the field."
"I very much agree with this idea." Yu Eshui said, "Especially the elders, their appearance, behavior, living habits and language are all very different from the natives of the Ming Dynasty. If you go out in the field carelessly without certain training, it is easy for something to happen.
It was no better than the two stations in Guangzhou and Leizhou. They were so close. If something happened, Lingao would be able to start rescue operations in two or three days. Once on the mainland, if something happened, he would have to rely on himself. Not to mention Beizhen Fu.
If you are in the company or Dongchang, even if you are imprisoned in the county prison, it will be enough for the veteran to shed several layers of skin!"
"Researcher Yu, you know so much about the social conditions of the Ming Dynasty, why not work for the Foreign Intelligence Service? You are our expert on the Ming Dynasty." Jiang Shan said, thinking that most of the positions in the General Administration here were vacant, so Yu
If Eshui comes, he is qualified enough to be the director of the Daming Division. If he likes something more relaxed, it is better to set up an intelligence personnel training center and let him be the director. As for the level, he can be used as the deputy director of the Daming Division.
solve.
"It's okay to be a part-time consultant, but I won't do it full-time." Yu Eshui refused flatly. He lived comfortably in the big library. Apart from completing the assigned tasks, his time was almost entirely at his own disposal, so he just happened to be doing it.
I am too lazy to go to the yamen for such substantive work and immerse myself in documents. "If you have any questions about historical materials, please feel free to call me at any time. I will try my best to answer them - this is also my job."
Jiangshan was a little disappointed when he failed to recruit this combat force. Yu Eshui probably knew what he was thinking and said, "I have a candidate who really wants to work on the intelligence front. Are you interested?"
"Of course, I am short of manpower right now -" Jiang Shan didn't say a word, especially the manpower who is willing to sit in the office.
"You must be satisfied with this person," Yu Eshui said. "This person is very interested in intelligence work. He is responsible for literature retrieval and translation at our place. By the way, he also helps grow bacteria in the Ministry of Agriculture. This person's favorite spare time activity
I translated and studied various information on making traps and IEDs, and even went to Bopu's shooting range to test it several times. I am very well-planned in everything I do."
"What's your name? I'll call the organization office to transfer him."
"The name is Li Yan, a doctor of stem cell biology," Yu Eshui said. "This person once wrote a memo about intelligence work. You can read it if you want, but this memo should be for military intelligence, which is not the same as what you have here.
road."
"Oh, is it memorandum k/bw/290322.77?"
"I don't remember the number." Yu Eshui shook his head, "I also wrote a comment, disapproving of his idea - his system is to clone the US military - if he does this, we will go bankrupt.
…Maybe in the future.”
Then, everyone discussed the next step of deployment. The mainland deployment of the intelligence system involves the future strategic layout of the Time Travel Group. At present, no conclusion has been reached on this issue. However, we must eliminate Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong and look for opportunities to occupy the coast of the mainland.
There is a general consensus on these important strategic locations and the opening up of mainland coastal transportation lines.
"If you want to kill Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong, you have to go to Fujian to set up bases. Only in this way can you effectively grasp Zheng Zhilong's movements." Yu Eshui said, "Zheng Zhilong's home base is in Anping. Now that he has a legal identity, he can control Anping's movements.
He spares no effort in management. Anping has a large number of industries and clans, and the other one is the Zhongzuo Institute. It would be best to set up an intelligence station in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, Fujian, to keep track of the movements of Zheng Zhilong and Li Kuiqi."
As for Guangdong, everyone agrees that no more effort is needed. Guangzhou and Leizhou stations are already well managed. Coupled with the industrial coverage of Qiwei Escort Bureau, there is no need to invest much manpower and material resources to combine the relationship between intelligence and trade.
Just straighten it out.
As for Macao, everyone thinks that a stronghold should be set up here. Not only to collect intelligence about the Portuguese, but also to get a lot of information about Zheng Zhilong - the Portuguese and Zheng Zhilong have a very close relationship. This stronghold can be used as a window for foreign trade and
Used to collect intelligence and kill two birds with one stone.
"We should focus on Jiangnan - or the Yangtze River Delta region." Jiang Shan said, "This must be the group's second key target after occupying the Pearl River Delta."
Jiangnan's rich products, vast market, abundant labor force, and capitalist-style handicraft factories that have taken initial shape are a more superior base than the Pearl River Delta in this time and space. Some people in the Senate have always advocated "taking Jiangnan to determine the world."
There are constant calls for Jiangnan to be the main strategy target.
"No matter when the Senate or the Executive Committee plans to take Jiangnan, we must obtain resources and markets from Jiangnan, so it is absolutely necessary to set up locations here."
"Not only can you take care of business and trade, but you can also collect all kinds of intelligence. You can accomplish multiple things with one stone." Wang Ding said with eyes shining. "It would be a great job for anyone to be the stationmaster in Jiangnan." He thought of himself regretfully.
A grand plan that has been shattered.
"I'm afraid all local departments want to get involved," Chen Tianxiong said. "Delong Bank also wants to get involved in Jiangnan to absorb deposits and engage in the financial industry."
Jiang Shan shook his head: "It is best for Delong Bank to be a separate system and not be mixed with the intelligence department and the commercial department. It should be a separate line."
