Chapter 153 Chapter 153 Pianpian is the best!
Chapter 153
Lin Zhiyi and Jing Yue sat in the carriage on their way back home, holding hands and snuggling together, looking very intimate.
There were bursts of firecrackers outside - it was already past midnight on New Year's Eve and it was New Year's Day.
A new year, a new beginning.
This year they can be said to be twenty years old in terms of their age.
——The age of coming of age.
Even though I just turned 19 a month ago.
Lin Zhiyi said seriously, "Ayue, Happy New Year. I wish you all the best in the new year."
Jing Yue curled her lips and hugged her slender waist tightly: "Thank you Pianpian, and I wish you great success in the new year and do whatever you want to do."
He knew that Pianpian had many brilliant ideas. In just two short years - if you count from the time she was actually on duty, it was actually only one year - she had accomplished many great things. Many of the policies implemented by Dayan were influenced by her ideas.
But Pianpian is very humble and always says that she is just a bystander, and the truly powerful people are the ones who implement their ideas and creativity.
Despite this, in Jingyue's heart, Pianpian is the most powerful!
"What do you think about the concerns that Second Brother has told you?" Jing Yue asked.
Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment and said, "His concerns are indeed real. I'm not someone who insists on doing things my own way, nor am I someone who won't listen to advice. After all, a political enemy can be another kind of 'mentor and friend.' We need to add another assessment checkpoint to screen those entering the capital."
It's not that he doesn't trust Xie Junnuo, Meng Weichen, Gu Heming, Xu Xingzhi, Chi Huaimin and others.
She just didn't want to experience another 'Northern Barbarian Raid'.
Moreover, the Northern Barbarians' surprise attack also clearly told her that the enemy country would slowly infiltrate their power in Dayan.
There are some in the capital, but don’t there also some in other provinces and counties?
Sometimes, the battles of spies, intelligence and information are more treacherous and ever-changing than actual battles!
Don't take it lightly.
If the enemy country takes five, ten or even longer years to slowly infiltrate the prefectures and counties of Dayan, and then uses this time to subtly influence the ideological realm of the people of Dayan, then Dayan will decay from the inside out. If chaos breaks out at that time, it will probably collapse on its own.
During the entire Spring Festival holiday, Lin Zhiyi was thinking about how to set up that level.
Jingyue also helped to think about it.
Zhou Mingyan and Ji Wuyou occasionally came to play and were grabbed by her to work together to find a solution. Everyone brainstormed and started chatting.
Zhou Mingyan said: "If it were me, I would test them on horseback archery. The horseback archery knowledge of our Dayan people is definitely different from that of the Northern Barbarians. Especially in the details."
Ji Wuyou said: "I will test their knowledge of etiquette from the Ministry of Rites. Those who don't understand are likely to be suspicious!"
Jing Yue: "I will ask the secret guards to investigate their background privately."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other three looked at him helplessly.
Jing Yue: "This workload is indeed a bit heavy, and there's not enough time..."
Lin Zhiyi finally gathered everyone's strengths and used a new method - he asked the provincial governors and judges of each state and county to come up with five questions each to examine whether the people participating in the local military selection were locals, and sent them to the Honglu Temple. Then, they were handed over to the Hanlin Academy and the Censorate for comprehensive inspection, compilation, and reshuffling to come up with a new set of examination questions.
There are 80 questions in total for 16 prefectures and counties, plus 20 questions from the capital, a total of 100 questions.
A pass is required if 70 correct answers are given, and an excellent score is required if 90 correct answers are given.
She deliberately raised the bar a bit.
This assessment method also inspired the Hanlin Academy, which then sent people to talk to the chief academic officers of the Imperial College. Later, the Imperial College also began to use this method to assess students.
Instead, it set off a wave of fresh reforms.
Adults no longer only set questions that are particularly large and broad, but will also narrow the scope and accurately select talents who are more passionate about a certain skill or knowledge.
There is a rudimentary form of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.
With Xie Junnuo around, some new systems and reforms were easier to pass on Emperor Longshun's side.
Because Xie Junnuo was able to fully understand it before explaining it to Emperor Long Shun, Emperor Long Shun saw the advantages in it and was naturally willing to implement it.
However, when he went to court again after the New Year, Emperor Longshun pulled Jing Zhuowen out again, gradually assigned him tasks, and asked him to promote the reform of supervising the Imperial College.
The Imperial College is the future of the country. Some ministers began to ponder the meaning of Emperor Longshun's move - is he going to restore His Highness to the position of Crown Prince?
Lin Zhiyi and Zhou Mingyan were busy with the military selection, and at the same time they had to receive people sent by various states and counties to learn the accounting methods of the Ministry of Revenue.
When these people saw the legendary Prince Consort Lin, they felt that 'he' was elegant, generous, domineering, and extremely handsome, and was indeed different from others.
He is worthy of being the prince consort who has been favored by Princess Liyang for two years.
He is worthy of being commended by His Majesty and praised by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, two of the six ministries.
Lin Zhiyi also met the legendary runner-up and third place winners of the same year as Xie Junnuo.
——Xu Xingzhi and Chi Huaimin.
These two are quite different from the children of the aristocratic families in Beijing.
