There were all kinds of pearwood tables and chairs in the hall, and each table was far away from each other, making it difficult to peek at other people's answers.
Gu Bai quickly walked to his seat and sat down. He couldn't help but look up at the ferule hanging in the air.
That was the legendary Qi Restraining Ruler.
The imperial examination was, of course, a test of the article and talent, and the talent stimulated the article would inevitably cause the Heavenly Dao to resonate with the phenomenon. Therefore, the examinees had to take the examination under the protection of the Qi-suppressing Ruler.
If all the examinees used their talents to stimulate the essay and cause the Heavenly Dao to resonate, the scene would undoubtedly become extremely chaotic, and it would even affect others 'answers.
This was how the Qi Restraining Ruler appeared.
As a fourth-grade calligraphy treasure of the legendary Wen Palace, the Qi Suppressing Ruler suppressed talent and blocked heaven and earth.
Anyone below the third-grade of Confucianism and Taoism would be temporarily unable to communicate with the Heavenly Dao in front of the Qi-subduing Ruler. It was a restrictive calligraphy treasure. In the past, the Great Scholar of the Wen Palace had relied on it to kill countless demons!
After tidying up the papers in front of his desk, Gu Bai closed his eyes and began to ponder.
Xiao Sheng, the great scholar of the Wen Palace, looked around at the students and soon, his gaze fell on Gu Bai.
In the time for an incense stick to burn.
Gu Bai hadn't started writing yet, which was a little strange.
"He is very talented, but he is still eighteen years old and has no experience in the world. It is not easy to write articles about governing the country.”
Xiao Sheng spoke. He wasn't looking down on Gu Bai, but he was stating a fact.
The surrounding officials did not reply. They were more optimistic about Gu Bai, but they could not refute the head examiner's words.
Indeed, without experience in the world, it was not easy to write articles about governing the country.
Another incense stick's time passed.
Gu Bai did not start writing for a long time, but a lot of information began to appear in his mind.
The test question was An Guo.
What is peace, how is peace?
In fact, it is nothing more than an economic problem
To Great Qin, external problems were less important than internal problems. History was a lesson, and most Kingdoms were destroyed because of internal problems.
There were only two internal problems.
The court and the people.
Were the officials of the court honest and diligent?
Did the people live and work in peace and contentment?
Therefore, if the empress used the word 'peace' as the title…
It should be a peaceful country.
How can we make the country peaceful?
First, let the people eat and drink to their fill.
Once the commoners had their fill, there would be fewer disputes, and the commoners would have great trust in the country.
To put it simply, if the common people were starving, how could they work and train the next generation? The Confucian scholars and the Four Treasures of the Study did not cost money, so how could they let the next generation study? If the next generation of a country was not strong, how could they resist the demons in a few decades?
However, if the commoners had enough to eat and drink and had spare money to play, they would live happily every day. Most of the commoners were still willing to spend resources to nurture the next generation. After all, no one was willing to be a low-class person for their entire life.
This is a policy to stabilize the country.
It should be the common people. The source of the common people should be firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and all of this needed money.
In layman's terms.
economic problems
Gu Bai made up his mind and began to grind the ink while brewing the wine.
Gu Bai knew what kind of article it was.
Gu Bai also knew how to write it.
However, he had to think about what to start with and what to end with.
Writing an article in one go was very important.
This way, it would be better to stimulate the article.
How should he write it?
After thinking for a long time.
He calmed down and looked at the blue sky.
Suddenly.
A gust of wind blew.
The paper fluttered and rustled.
Gu Bai smiled.
He picked up his pen.
Dyeing ink.
Gu Bai had a faint smile on his face. He knew what to write.
The first line of the title.
Great Qin's policy of peace
Gu Bai was very bold. He named his article the Great Qin's Anguo policy.
When the first stroke landed, Gu Bai's writing speed was extremely fast.
Words fell onto the white paper one by one. Perhaps it was because he had thought it through, or perhaps it was because he had been enlightened, Gu Bai's handwriting was neat and lively.
Every word was infused with his talent.
The Great Qin Dynasty experienced the former emperor's crusade against demons, the chaos of the eight kings, and the sufferings of the common people. The students believed that the policy of stabilizing the country lay in the common people, the country, and the world.
Gu Bai started off with the story of the previous Emperor conquering the demons, directly pointing out that Great Qin was a waste of manpower and money, leading to what he wanted to say.
As the saying goes, when the people rise, they suffer. When they die, the people suffer. It is the people who suffer when they fight, and it is the people who suffer when they don't fight.
The Qin Dynasty had been peaceful ever since the former emperor and Taibai ruled the country. Although they had attacked the demons several times, it was undeniable that the former emperor and Taibai had allowed the people to live and work in peace.
It was also because of the previous Emperor and Great White's long-term rule that Great Qin was able to conquer the demons many times.
Therefore, it was not impossible to fight a war, but one had to earn money first.
This was the core meaning of Gu Bai's first paragraph. He naturally used a lot of ancient words to write it, so it was impossible for it to be so straightforward.
After writing the first paragraph, Gu Bai did not hesitate to write the second paragraph.
If Gu Bai's first paragraph was more tactful, then the second paragraph was completely open.
The so-called peace was inseparable from money and profit. Gu Bai described how the previous Emperor of Great Qin and the Great White Era had produced countless elites and implemented many policies to benefit the people, which was why Great Qin could quickly become powerful and become the most powerful country in the East Continent.
As such, what Great Qin needed to think about now was the people's livelihood.
The commoners needed to recuperate, and Great Qin also needed to recuperate.
Therefore, the commoners needed to earn money to support their families, and the Great Qin Dynasty also needed to earn money to support the country.
When the people are poor, there will be no food, and when the country is poor, the people will be in chaos.
After Gu Bai finished the second paragraph, he wrote the third paragraph.
This part was even sharper.
Students think that ancient and modern exchanges, thousands of dynasties, all admire thousands of generations, but the world changes, dynasties change, is the common sense of heaven and earth, the reason for the change is 90% of the people, the country is poor, the people are chaotic, the people are chaotic, change will change destiny.
Gu Bai's third paragraph was no longer as simple as using sharp words. It could even be said that he was bold and reckless.
He used the change of dynasties to describe the current Great Qin, but his starting point was extremely direct. He did not use any rhetoric to explain the reason behind the change of dynasties.
Yes, since ancient times, almost ninety percent of the overthrown dynasties were due to the fatuous emperors, the chaotic state system, and the lack of food for the common people. In the end, it led to a civil revolt. Then, someone followed the heavens and overthrew the old dynasty, establishing a new dynasty that would last for thousands of years.
The first three sections were Gu Bai's opening remarks, stating his point of view, using the classics to confirm his position.
The next step was the solution.
If you pointed out the problem, then you had to solve it. Otherwise, who wouldn't raise the problem?
That scholar doesn't know how to ask questions?
If you raise a problem, you have to propose a solution. Whether it's good or bad, you can propose it.
If the proposed solution was not good, at least you put in the effort.
If you don't solve the problem, then the emperor can only solve the problem.
Gu Bai had already prepared a solution.
His solution was simple.
If he wanted the country to become rich, he had to let the people become rich first. And if he wanted the people to become rich, there was only one thing that could be done.
Civilized material transportation
That's right, it was the civilian use of material transportation, and it was the nation-based civilian use of material transportation.
If Gu Bai had transmigrated to a different world, he would never have proposed the idea of transporting goods for civilian use. There was no other reason than the fact that there were three problems that could not be solved.
First, the issue of supervision.
Second, transportation.
Third, storage.
However, in this world, Gu Bai had studied for a day yesterday and discovered that not only were there extraordinary methods that could preserve large amounts of food for a long time, but there were also teleportation arrays that could transport them quickly.
Let the Confucianists supervise, and those who enter the ranks of Confucianism and Taoism have their own moral character. If they keep the reserves for themselves, there is no need for others to take action, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it.
Therefore, the problem of supervision could be well managed.
Gu Bai's solution was to open up a large amount of wasteland for cultivation through market commerce.
Endorsed by Great Qin, large warehouses will be built in various places to transfer various reserve materials.
Establishing Special Medium, Small, and Large-sized Teleportation Formations to Realizing Rapid Civil Transportation
At the thought of this, Gu Bai's brush seemed to have a spirit as he threw this idea into it.
He wrote thousands of words.
An hour later.
After Gu Bai finished writing about the use of civilian transportation, he started to write about the benefits of civilian transportation.
What was the most straightforward benefit of the civilian use of material transportation?
Simply put, once Great Qin's southernmost specialties could reach the northernmost region in an hour, there would be no shortage of resources in the various regions. The prices would naturally fall, and the employment rate would increase.
There was an old saying that goes, if you want to be rich, you have to build roads first. Once the roads are repaired, trade will flourish, but who will pay for the road repair fees?
The local government office?
The rich government could afford it, but what about the poor?
Everyone together?
Was this realistic? It was definitely not realistic. Let's not talk about whether or not everyone could be united. Even if they could be united, the problem came again.
My family doesn't do business, so why should I build a teleportation array?
My family is poor and I can't afford it, but I must take advantage of the teleportation formation.
The mutual deception of the people at the bottom was often summed up in four words: short-sighted.
There were definitely many people who would fight for a single penny.
Some people would definitely want to take advantage of him, and some people would definitely be angry.
But for the locals and the country, what was the meaning of this sulk?
It was meaningless.
However, what if the dynasty built the teleportation array?
The country did not care who took advantage of it or not. After all, they were Great Qin's subjects, and they could do whatever they wanted. Not everyone was like them.
The Great Qin Dynasty would give the wasteland to the people to build warehouses, and Great Qin would rent the warehouses and pay the rent.
I'll give you the land, and you'll help me build my warehouse. I'll rent your warehouse, and you'll earn money. Once the teleportation channels are built, you'll have money to use, so the transportation industry will be able to return money to Great Qin.
This was one of the explanations for what was taken from the people and used by the people.
Gu Bai filled up the blank sheets of paper.
In the end, the more Gu Bai wrote, the more excited he became. The more he wrote, the more open his mind became.
Another two hours passed.
Finally, Gu Bai finished writing.
He took a deep breath.
Then, he slowly put down his brush.
The students believe that the people regard food as the most important thing, and the country regards the people as the most important thing. If the people are rich, the country will be strong. However, if the country is rich, the people will be stronger. If the people are poor, the people will decline. If the country is poor, the transportation will be blocked. This policy is the policy of stabilizing the country. The transportation of materials and the use of the people will be beneficial to the present, the achievements will be in the future generations, the kings of future generations, and the people of all generations.
Student-Gu Bai
He wrote to this point.
After the national policy was completed, there were twenty-seven pieces of white paper with more than ten thousand words written on them.
Gu Bai let out a long breath.
When he put down the brush.
At this moment.
Suddenly.
Something strange happened.
