It was raining and snowing in the afternoon and stopped at dusk. The temperature in Kaifeng Prefecture dropped sharply and the streets became a little muddy and slippery.

The road conditions of most streets in Kaifeng Prefecture's inner city are very poor, and in the words of later generations, it is also a "first blockage". This is mainly related to the foundation of Kaifeng Prefecture. The inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture was now built in the second year of Jianzhong of Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty and was built and expanded by Li Mian, the first governor of Xuanwu Town, on the basis of the original Bianzhou City.

In other words, the foundation of Kaifeng Prefecture is just a capital of a Jiedushi, not a great country. The capital of a Jiedushi can accommodate 100,000 and 200,000 people. But now the population squeezed into the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture is probably less than 500,000!

Moreover, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty always treated the citizens of Kaifeng Prefecture with preferential treatment, and it was impossible for the forced demolition of houses for urban reconstruction. Therefore, most of the streets in the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture were crooked, and there were also many land-based stalls and illegal construction, which made the streets that were not large and sufficient, and not only did the layout become smaller, but the roads became more difficult to move.

Wu Haogu rode on a horse and followed Gao Qiu slowly walked along the street known as the street, but in fact it was very cramped. However, he thought about how to turn the first issue of "Wenquxing" into a banner of the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty.

After deeply feeling the atmosphere of the imperial examination carnival in the Song Dynasty, he now has some new ideas about "Wenquxing". This publication should not be the "photo album" route. After all, most of the Jinshi masters are flawed and have no attractive appearance. Moreover, most of the people who can buy "Wenquxing" are also scholars, and they will not regard those high school Jinshi as the dream of holding hands... Well, at least most of them will not have such a heavy taste.

Therefore, the positioning of "Wenquxing" should be a banner publication in the imperial examination industry and a must-read reading for everyone in the imperial examination industry! Jinshi photo is just a gimmick to start a brand in the early stage. If you want to become a banner and become the mouthpiece of the future imperial examination reform, it is not enough to rely solely on photo.

Yes, Wu Haogu still wants to reform the imperial examinations now, rather than completely abolishing the imperial examinations.

Because the imperial examination system is not without advantages. This system of candidates provides a way for the rise of the counterattack of the novice, and can also select smarter and more studious people among the novice to be admitted to the juren. Although the master of the Jinshi may not be able to govern the country (basically, it is impossible), they are definitely very smart and easy to learn.

Wu Haogu’s younger brother Wu Haowen is the representative of it. If he was born in later generations, he would be the top scorer in the college entrance examination at Peking University and Tsinghua University!

Moreover, Wu Haowen has a very strong self-discipline ability! He is the younger brother of the king of the "entertainment circle" in the Song Dynasty. I don't know how many courtesans want to hook up with him. But he ignored it and just studied hard.

Such people will become elites in future generations!

In addition, in Wu Haogu's view, it is not completely impossible to use the Four Books and Five Classics as the ladder to rise. After all, the cost of learning the Four Books and Five Classics is relatively low and can be afforded by ordinary people. The Six Arts of Gentlemen are only affordable by nobles and rich people. If the Six Arts of Gentlemen are regarded as the path to rise, most people will be excluded.

However, the Four Books and Five Classics can only be regarded as part of the upward ladder, not all! For example, the Four Books and Five Classics can be used as the content of the university entrance examination. Select all the harder and smarter scholars among all the scholars. Let them enter the university, and there is no need to teach the Four Books and Five Classics anymore.

The four books and five classics should be left to those who are professional and academic. Those who want to be an official and political practitioner should learn some practical knowledge.

After entering university, students should learn practical studies such as mathematics, engineering, business, law, politics and diplomacy. After graduating from university, they should become corresponding officials based on the subjects they have studied. This is how people can make full use of their talents and learn to be useful.

The education costs of universities can be completely borne by the court, and even the living costs of students can be taken out by the court.

Of course, military education must be cultivated! When you read the Four Books and Five Classics, you can still learn sports such as pulling bows, riding horses, and stooling?

In human history, until World War II, some belligerent countries still retained the youth military academy system, among which the Soviet youth military academy system remained until the Russian Federation era.

The military education system of the Song Dynasty should also be run by the official. Because those general capitalists and general artists could no longer count on the collapse of the Song Dynasty's military system, the root cause of the collapse of the Song Dynasty's military system was not entirely focused on culture and over military military use. The Kaifeng generals actually have a low status, and there is no need to kneel down and lick civil officials. The civil officials themselves are also a source of Kaifeng generals. The decay of Kaifeng generals is the most direct reason for disintegrating the combat effectiveness of the Song army!

The reason for the decay of Kaifeng generals is that in Wu Haogu's view, it is the lack of an official aristocratic military education system. Since the foundation of the Song Dynasty's imperial guards was the "Shibition Group" with urban industry and commerce as the economic basis, rather than the "Aristocratic Group" with rural manors as the economic basis, they are more likely to "decay". In fact, it is not true corruption, but has changed from "samurai" to capitalists and artists.

In fact, this change is also a failure of the general family education. Since the general has lost the function of cultivating good generals, the court should assume responsibility. The official young military academies and military academies were used to train aristocratic officers in batches for the Song Dynasty, while the politically reliable Kaifeng generals only needed to provide a source of students for the young military academies.

Therefore, if the Song Dynasty wants to be saved, it must change the fair but useless "examination system" of the Song Dynasty into an education system that can truly cultivate useful talents.

The person who is likely to complete the reform of the Song Dynasty examination system to the education system is now waiting in Xiefang Building for Wu Haogu to drink flower wine together.

In the original history, when Zhao Ji governed the world, the imperial examination system was attacked, and the official school system was once replaced by the imperial examination system. Although the reform of "abolition of the imperial examination" ended in failure, this at least shows that Zhao Ji and Cai Jingdu, who was the prime minister at the time, were very dissatisfied with the imperial examination system of the Northern Song Dynasty and hoped to carry out reforms.

However, they could never escape the limitations of the Four Books and Five Classics, so the meaning of abolishing the imperial examinations would no longer exist. If in this time and space, a magazine "Wenquxing" could be used as the banner of the imperial examinations to provide them with the right direction.

The Song Dynasty may be saved!

...

"Dalang, Xiefang Tower has arrived."

Gao Qiu's voice sounded in Wu Haogu's ears, and the largest brothel in the Song Dynasty was right in front of him.

"My little di, please pay homage to the official Wu Da!"

A waiter from a brothel came up like a greeting. When he arrived in front of Wu Haogu, he was a bow and bow. The Wu Da official in front of him was an amazing person! The most popular sister in the Xiefang Building wanted to hold hands with him, and it was free. The Liu Yongliu Sanchang was about this level, right?

Oh, no, Wu Haogu is much awesome than Liu Yongke! Liu Yong is the men who can get what the courtesans want, while Wu Haogu... There are countless women in the Xiefang Building who wrote love poems to officials from Wu Da want to recommend themselves to the pillows, but no one has ever received an echo.

"Has the great official made an appointment with any sister?" The waiter asked with a smile on his face when he saw Wu Haogu get off the horse's back.

"No." Wu Haogu took out a copper plate and gave it to the waiter, and then threw the reins over, "It was someone who asked me to do it."

That's right! The waiter thought to himself: Does the official of Wu Da still need to date the courtesan? It was the courtesan who took the initiative to make an appointment with him. I don't know which sister in the Xiefang Building is so lucky? If she really follows Wu Haogu, she will be very popular.

Maybe she is the second Mo Madam, she can collect a lot of money without having to sell her skills and body. It's a miracle...

At this time, Gao Qiu also handed the reins to the waiter and asked, "Is Zhao Jiake here?"

Zhao Jia is Zhao Ji's latest pseudonym. His previous pseudonym Zhao Xiaoyi has already leaked Tang. Everyone knows that it is His Highness Duan. If it is used again, Xiefanglou will not dare to entertain him.

"He has arrived, right in the Qi Lady's room."

"Sister Qiqi?" Wu Haogu seemed unsure and asked again.

"Yes, it's the sister Qiqi, the wife of Xingshou."

Wu Haogu smiled and shook his head, then walked into Xiefang Tower with Gao Qiu.

The stage name of Qi Niangzi is Xu Qiqi, also known as Qi Qijie. It is the real courtesan who has been on the album of "The Courtesan" and is also the pillar of Xiefanglou. Unlike most courtesans, this Qi Niangzi is not young and is already twenty-six years old. He has been the courtesan in Xiefanglou ten years ago, and is still the leader of Xiefanglou today.

In addition, the restaurants in Xiefanglou, Fenglelou, Panlou, Wanglou and other restaurants are different. This is a brothel. The female genius in the restaurant usually plays the sign of selling skills but not selling her body... Of course, private transactions are also inevitable. The prostitutes in the brothel, whether they are courtesans or not, have to sell themselves. The difference is just how much they cost.

In other words, Xu Qiqi is a prostitute who sells herself, and she has been selling for ten years. However, she is not an ordinary prostitute, but a prostitute who leads the class.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will be the madam in the largest brothel in Kaifeng Prefecture, the largest brothel in Kaifeng Prefecture. The madam in the brothel is equivalent to the shopkeeper of the business company. She is the second-ranked person in addition to the boss (the madam also opened a brothel herself). In other words, the seventh lady who is accompanying Zhao Ji is the third-ranked person and the number one-ranked person in the Xiefang Building.

And prostitutes of this level are no longer as simple as selling their skills and self-employed! Otherwise, "Zhao Jia" would not have been "taken down" by her as soon as she entered the Xiefang Building.
