The first day of the seventh year of the summer and July of the seventh year of Yuande.
The hot springs of Ganquan Palace are steaming hot and flowing out.
In this hot summer, you can soak in the hot springs, listen to the swaying bamboo leaves in the mountains, and watch the living beings under the mountains.
It was undoubtedly a treat.
"Xu Jiu plans to repair the track" Listening to the report that the embroidered guard had just sent back, Liu Che leaned against the hot spring wall, smiled, and said to the eunuch standing beside him: "I still have some ideas."
If you want to get rich, build roads first.
This is a quote that belongs to the truth in any era.
Easy access will bring opportunities and business.
But Liu Che felt that it was too risky to build a track in Anton.
After all, the Andong region, especially most of Huaihua County, is dominated by cold winds and snow for at least five months of the year.
In some extreme areas, the sun can only be seen and warmed for less than five months of the year.
There are places where you can even see the Northern Lights in winter.
In such an area, the difference between summer and winter is very frightening.
Thermal expansion and cold contraction are enough to make this track of Anton, from the beginning of its birth, full of risks and challenges.
Whether it can be maintained well or not is a test of the execution of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate.
However, it doesn't matter, the track in the Andong region will have to be repaired sooner or later, and it will be repaired sooner or later, which is stronger than repairing it later.
This is because it can accumulate a lot of experience and lessons, and it can also prepare for exploration for the construction of future railway networks.
In this way, when steam trains appeared 100 years later, the Andong region could immediately enter the railway age.
It was another thing that Xu Jiu had to do, which made Liu Che a little vigilant.
"Xu Jiu is going to play Jiaozi or a more advanced silver ticket" Liu Che pondered in his heart, suspicious.
To be reasonable, even if Xu Jiu doesn't say it, Liu Che plans to start playing a credit currency next year.
A few years ago, he had already laid the groundwork.
The princes and scholars almost all accepted the so-called golden edict.
In this context, it is possible to try to issue a batch of high-value currencies for noble ministers, especially the two thousand stone princes.
Now, Xu Jiu and the miscellaneous family jumped out to be this experimental field and give Liu Che a mine, in his heart, Liu Che was relieved, even happy.
However, the emperor's paranoia made him hesitate and hesitate.
The reason for his hesitation was that the so-called Jiaozi or silver tickets issued by the Metropolitan Protectorate.
Who is responsible for the distribution, who is in control, who is in control, and who is in charge Private is certainly not going to work Finance is the lifeblood of the country, and Liu Che will not fake others if he dies.
After all, if finance falls into private hands, private individuals can issue money.
So what do you want him to do as an emperor Even if it is controlled by the Metropolitan Protectorate, Liu Che has many questions.
Fiscal and taxation power, or in other words, the distribution ratio between local governments and the central government on the cake of fiscal and taxation, is something that directly affects the power, discourse and control of the central power of a country.
If the local government needs to rely on state funding, then the local area must be inseparable from the control of the central government.
If the local government is self-sufficient, it gains financial freedom.
Then, will the local officials and heroes still throw off the country?
Since ancient times, most divisions and divisions have been the result of financial freedom gained by local powers.
The fact that most local problems are difficult for the central government to solve is also the result of its fiscal freedom.
There is no need to talk about other things, how South Vietnam was divided and independent At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang ordered the conquest of Nanyue, and when the first emperor was alive, the place of Nanyue was firmly controlled by the Qin court.
Not to mention Zhao Tuo, the dragon at that time, even Ren Huan did not dare to disobey any order from Xianyang.
Why, then, as soon as Emperor Shi died, the troops and officials in South Vietnam could burn the plank roads, block the canals, and refuse to accept any orders from Ham Duong The answer is that before that, Zhao Tuo's army had reached a compromise with the tribal nobility of South Vietnam.
The so-called policy of peace and reconciliation not only eliminated hidden dangers, but also obtained sufficient sources of finance and taxation for the Qin army in South Vietnam.
With money and food, Zhao Tuo, who didn't need any support from Xianyang, certainly had the courage to make such a move On the contrary, the Great Wall Corps does not have a stable source of finance and taxation.
Even if they were unwilling, they could only obey the order, abandon the Great Wall defense line, and turn back to extinguish the rebellion.
Otherwise, the Great Wall Corps at that time could have been completely free from Xianyang, and directly pulled the flag in Gaoque to determine the IQ and wrist of Qin II, and they would probably have nothing to do with them.
However, without a stable source of finance and taxation, no matter how stubborn the Great Wall Corps is, it can only be coerced by Xianyang and give up the Yinshan defense line.
Yes, Liu Che knew very well that he wanted the emperor to sit firmly.

Local financial freedom should not be too great.
To make the county of the world, all depend on the financial allocation and maintenance of the state.
And Xu Jiu plays like this, once he succeeds, he may break this balance.
Andong can print his own money to play, do you still need Bird Chang'an Maybe Liu Che is alive, and they don't dare to rebel.
But decades later, Liu Che entered Maoling, in case these scum, learn from the people of Boston, come to Incheon Port to pour tea, and then shout for independence As an emperor, you can't help but guard against this hand.
Therefore, in this matter, Xu Jiu wanted to help Liu Che get through the mines, and Liu Che was naturally willing.
However, Liu Che has to be ready to pick peaches at any time.
"Transfer the royal road to me from Linqiong" Liu Che closed his eyes and ordered: "Ordered to be the military envoy of the Guardian Army" The left and right were startled at first, thinking that the great eunuch who had overwhelmed them was going to be killed again.
Some people even almost fainted, but fortunately, Liu Che's subsequent appointment relieved them.
The eunuchs were even more happy that Wang Dao, the close attendant of the Son of Heaven, held the position of the commander of the CRRC.
Historically, Zhao Gou has held this position.
Even though he was banished to Linqiong because of some things, his status has not diminished at all, and he still holds great power, which is almost the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven in Linqiong.
Over the years, in order to fill the vacancy left by the royal road, three eunuchs have emerged around Liu Che.
They are either good at patting horses and praising virtues, or they are good at betraying the blame, selling miserable, or they are good at serving.
However, no one can satisfy Liu Che.
In fact, Liu Che has always wanted a eunuch like Wei Zhongxian.
Ruthless enough, vicious enough, and able to have the means to help him do the dirty things he doesn't want to dirty.
It's a pity that so far, Liu Che has not found such a talent.
That's a pity.
"Wang Dao went to Anton, and he should be ready for me to seize the power of Anton Bank at any time" Liu Che thought in his heart: "But it's not safe, I have to keep a hand to prepare."
After all, although eunuchs are loyal, their ability to handle things is far less powerful than that of civil officials.
Especially this kind of peach picking thing.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Che thought of a candidate: "Didn't Yuan Si go to Nanyue for two years, it's time to move his nest to him, lest outsiders say that I am cold and thin."
But now he is not in a hurry, he will send Wang Dao over to keep an eye on it, and wait for next year to find a reason to send Yuan Ang to Anton.
Of course, there may also be a mistake at that time, and another person will go to Anton.
Putting this matter aside, Liu Che opened his eyes and asked left and right: "How is the situation in Chang'an City now?"
The Chang'an examination kicked off in the middle of last month.
However, this time the scale of the examination is the largest in history, and the number of applicants is more than 37,000, which is 170 percent of last year's examination.
Although most of the meat is back to the pot, the Yuande generation has also shown its skills for the first time.
The so-called Yuande generation refers to the new scholars who grew up and were educated after the first year of Yuande.
This generation, compared to their predecessors, has a broader vision, more ideas, and more knowledge, especially in terms of self-confidence, far beyond their predecessors.
After all, the process of their growth is the rise of the Han family.
In the second year of Yuande, the war of Korea, the fourth year, the battle of Mayi, the fifth year of the battle of Gaoque, and the sixth year of the battle of Yanji.
These four wars determined the Han Dynasty's position as the hegemon of Northeast Asia, and also announced the end of the East Asian monster room game.
Different from the young people in the strong Han and Tang dynasties in history, the Yuande generation has a far better understanding and grasp of the world than those who are strong and prosperous in the Tang Dynasty.
In the process of their growth, there were the emergence of Anton's great development and the sealing of the country by Jiaen, the emergence of the gold rush, and all kinds of intelligence and information about the poison and the Western Regions.
They knew that defeating the Xiongnu was only the beginning, and conquering the world was their mission Naturally, this generation is a generation that Liu Che has been waiting for to mature.
In a sense, they are the pillars and backbones of the future Han Empire.
Because, they accepted the influence of colonial ideas and ideas when they were young, and grew up in an environment with strong nationalism in the Han Dynasty.
They were natural colonizers, the best colonial officials.
It's just, for the time being, there is nothing to do with them in this world.
The Taizong generation and the Renzong generation are the mainstream that rules the world.
They want to take over, and let's talk about it in another ten or eight years "Back to Your Majesty, Shaofu and Jing Zhaoyin, I came to report this morning, saying that the examination will enter the second round today" A eunuch said sycophantly: "Thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, there are more than 18,000 scholars who have entered the second round this time."
After passing the first round of the examination, he has the qualifications to be officials, although most of them are the most basic affairs officials such as Qiang Fu and You, and even more basic fighting food.
And the elimination rate is very high.

Every year, at least half of the examiners are driven home in competition or officialdom.
But those who can survive the first year basically have the ability to survive in officialdom.
Many people have even had a counterattackIn this era when political performance is king, nothing is impossible.
Just like Yang Hui, Chang'an Ling, who has just taken office, is a typical example.
For talents, especially talents who can do things, Liu Che will not care about their backgrounds and ways of doing things, and those who can succeed are talents Reducing talents without sticking to one pattern is the secret of success left by the three generations of holy kings.
As for how they succeeded Need to ask If things are done well, he will be protected, and if something goes wrong, it will be his own bad luck.
Anyway, the emperor, the selfish party is the emperor.
This time, the number of admissions has set a record since the beginning of the examination, and the number of people in the second round has exceeded half of the total.
This is also Liu Che's instruction for the first round of test questions this year, which is only slightly more difficult than last year's test questions.
If you are reasonable, the difficulty increases, and the number of admissions should decrease.
But you have to know that over the years, the examination and the return to the pot meat have accounted for a considerable proportion.
There are even talents in exam-oriented education, and some scum have begun to delve into the scope of questions and the proportion of content of the questions, and then have studied a set of test-taking experiences.
There is even someone in Chang'an who has entered the third round for three consecutive years and then was driven back at the grassroots level, and then took the exam in the second year.
This is also a helpless thing.
That's the way the rules of the game are, he can find holes, that's his ability.
But he didn't have enough skills, and he was driven back from the place, and that was his problem.
As a rule-maker, Liu Che can't change the rules for this kind of person.
However, the difficulty increases every year, but it is certain.
Because the times are developing and advancing.
In particular, the level and achievements of mathematics in the Han family have developed rapidly in recent years, thanks to the examination.
Today, the level of mathematics in the Han family is more than a little bit stronger than eight years ago.
There are some problems that even Liu Che himself doesn't know how to solve.
According to Liu Che's estimate, the overall level of mathematics and geometry in the Han family should be close to the sixth grade of primary school in later generations.
Calculus can't touch the threshold for the time being, but various equations can already be solved.
And geometry is even more impressive.
It is not only the basic geometric formulas that have been applied to military and cartography have appeared.
There are also wise arithmetic scholars who bravely challenge the ancient problems of pi and the distance between the earth and the moon.
This is a welcome achievement.
The more mathematicians, the more engineers, and the more engineers, the stronger the country.
This is an immutable truth.
Therefore, the difficulty of the topic must be increased accordingly, so as to screen talents, at least to screen out talents above the level line.
The criterion for judging is 50 percent.
Every year, half of the first round must be eliminated to ensure that those who enter the second round are at least slightly more expensive than the half who are eliminated.
Only this year, for the first time, the elimination rate in the first round was less than half.
However, this is also something that cannot be helped.
Liu Che has just cleaned the officialdom of Chang'an, and there is a serious shortage of officials.
The only way to do this is to increase the number of officials, especially those at the grassroots level.
"Let Shaofu and Jing Zhaoyin make a statistic on the scores of the scholars in the first round of examinations, and then divide them according to their arithmetic results and send them to me for review," Liu Che instructed.
Those who can pass the first round, no matter how bad their liberal arts grades are, are also able to write a standard official script, and at the same time, they can recognize and understand the vast majority of characters in conventional writing.
Such a person must be qualified to be a grassroots official.
But what is the best way to pick out talent?
Look at math scores Children with good math scores are certainly not too stupid, and their thinking and logic skills are better than others.
Therefore, every year, Liu Che will select a group of people with the best mathematical scores from the examination scholars, come to Lantai to do miscellaneous work or organize files, and then select the best young people to be trained, so as to make up for the shortcomings of the examination system for the cultivation of elite talents.
It also sets an example for the world.
Boy, let's learn math Under the influence of this trend, the importance of mathematics to mathematics has been elevated to the status of the core classics of its own school.

Among the elite disciples of the various campuses, none of them were ignorant of arithmetic.
Say it, and you may not believe it.
Dong Zhongshu, a great Confucian who invented the theory of celestial and human induction in history, has now vaguely become the person with the highest mathematical achievements among the various schools of Confucianism.
He even further calculated pi from the diameter of the meridian to the value of 3.16.
Although he is still far from the truth of pi, he is undoubtedly the first person in the Han family to make pi so accurate.
This also made Liu Che sigh with emotion.
Facts have proved that even Confucianism is a school of thought that can make useful contributions to the world and society.
