Ma Zhou probably guessed the thoughts of His Majesty Li Er. Although there are records in history that Gan Luo Twelve were prime ministers, if Xu Qilin was given an official position too high, it would be impossible for the leaders of the Political Affairs Hall to pass.

In other words, His Majesty Li Er can only give gifts such as scattered officials, titles, and gold, silver and wealth.

Even these have to be limited, and this size is really hard to grasp.

Hurry up, it's so difficult, I'm still waiting to go home for dinner!

Xu Qilin swallowed and continued to blink, hoping to win both fame and fortune and return with a full load.

Ma Dami was experienced and said to Xu Qilin with a smile: "Wen Linlang, according to my opinion, the improvement of the imperial examination system only provides a fair environment. How easy is it for a poor family to have a noble son?"

From ancient times to the present, studying and entering the officialdom has been very expensive. The poor families in ancient times were not ordinary people referred to as later generations.

To put it bluntly, the poor families in ancient times were mostly small and medium-sized landlords or down-and-out nobles, and in terms of economic strength, they could provide their children in their families with their imperial examinations.

Those classes that are worse than poor families are farmers and craftsmen at the bottom. They are busy with food and clothing all day long, and it is almost impossible for them to provide scholars. As for businessmen, they do not even have the qualifications for the imperial examination.

Even in later generations, there was a saying that "it is difficult for poor families to produce noble children" and it has been recognized by many people.

Even Xu Qilin has to admit that good education is closely related to money. For example, various interest classes require money, expanding reading and buying books, and Mathematical Olympiad English training classes require money...

Of course, nothing is absolute, and there are many examples of poor families making a comeback.

Faced with the cruel reality, poor families can only use perseverance and hard work, and use struggle to tell the world a story of a fight back, rather than a natural fairy tale.

Xu Qilin turned to Ma Dami, blinked slowly, and thought to himself: This is a strategy to belittle my imperial examination reform. It is like bargaining, so why don’t you give me less rewards?

His Majesty Li Er said, "What King Bin said is very much. This strategy for perfecting the imperial examination has not been achieved for more than ten years, so I am afraid that there will be no results."

After reading Ma Da Secret, Xu Qilin went to see Li Er again. He felt that it was difficult to debate with one or two, but he had to give it a try before he could be content.

"Your Majesty only seeks talents, and fair competition must produce talented people, so why should you confine aristocratic families or poor families?" Xu Qilin said: "The loyalty of aristocratic families to Your Majesty may not be as loyal as that of a poor family, but it cannot be generalized. If you stop one and promote the other, wouldn't it be contrary to Your Majesty's original intention of not asking about your family background and only talent is the original intention of "Your Majesty's "

After pausing, Xu Qilin continued: "It is only fair to improve the imperial examination system. His Majesty wants to promote poor families, but it is another complex issue. For example, the inclination of educational resources, financial subsidies, and the establishment of public libraries..."

The words are very fresh, but you can still guess the meaning of it. His Majesty Li Er and Ma Zhou were stunned when they heard it. Unexpectedly, Xu Qilin had a solution when facing the questioning.

Ma Zhou stroked his beard under the jaw and felt that if there was another problem, he could better understand Xu Qilin's urgent intelligence and response. After all, what I just asked was related to the imperial examination, and Xu Qilin must have studied it very thoroughly.

So, Ma Zhou asked with a smile, "Wen Linlang must have heard the local report just now. The dam breaks down the lower reaches of the Wei River, flooding farmland and houses, and countless refugees are coming to Chang'an. Although the court has made a disaster relief method, I still feel that it is not comprehensive enough. Can Wen Linlang have other methods to make up for the shortcomings?"

Since there is a successful method, why do you ask me what I do?

Xu Qilin frowned slightly, a little unhappy, thinking that Ma Dami was deliberately making things difficult for him. He didn't steal your job, so why can't he get along with me?

When Ma Zhou saw Xu Qilin's expression, he guessed what he was thinking, but did not explain much, but just looked at him with a smile.

Xu Qilin was so angry that he felt that if he didn't have some advanced originality, he would not let this guy shut up, nor would he be more appreciated by Li Er, nor would he have the ability to make his family happy.

Thinking of this, Xu Qilin pretended to be light and curled his lips, saying proudly: "What's the difficulty? Since refugees come, then build a large-scale construction to let the refugees work. Isn't it better to have enough food like drinking porridge that can't be hungry in the porridge shed opened by the government?"

Ma Zhou was said to be confused, and disaster relief was a big project? Perhaps it would be a waste of money and money.

His Majesty Li Er also heard something wrong, and said with a stern face, saying, "This is a major event in the court, don't talk nonsense."

Xu Qilin bowed to His Majesty Li Er and said, "I didn't say nonsense. Please listen to my explanation..."

my country had already had a waste preparation system as early as the Shang Dynasty. After continuous improvement, by the Tang Dynasty, the relief methods had basically taken shape, which was what Ma Zhou mentioned.

These relief measures usually include opening granaries, tax reduction and exemption, transfer of grain and sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrific

It was only in the Song and Ming dynasties that "work-for-work-promoting relief" policy of "work-for-work-for-relief" emerged; in the Qing dynasty, "work-for-relief" frequently appeared, which became the main policy of disaster relief and poverty alleviation.

As for the earliest and most famous "work-for-relief", it may be the deeds of Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, who was in charge of western Zhejiang, which is fully and detailed in "Mengxi Bitan".

Among the refugees are old and weak, and there are also young and strong. Those who cannot eat by themselves can receive millet; those who can eat by themselves can buy millet; those who work in the work amount can distribute grain or other physical objects.

Moreover, while the wages are low, the government can do some infrastructure projects!

What are the things that lay bridges and roads, build water conservancy, dredge river channels, build and repair official warehouses, etc. In addition to the government, you can also call on wealthy businessmen to build buildings and houses, and build temples and monasteries...

In this way, disaster relief is not about the government providing money to provide food, but about wealthy businessmen and temples and monasteries.

"...... Make a surplus fortune to benefit the poor. Those who trade, diet, craftsmanship, and compassionate people who rely on food for public and private sectors can get full and stable food."

Xu Qilin taught an economics class to Li Er and Ma Da Secret, although they did not understand the advanced term "stimulating domestic demand and expanding consumption".

His Majesty Li Er and Ma Zhou looked at each other, with almost the same expression.

It turns out that this is okay to help the poor. At first glance, it sounds like nonsense, but after analysis, it really makes sense and makes people speechless.

Humph, Xu Qilin looked at Ma Dami and felt a little more happy. He was so stupid that he didn't know that he was full of skills, right?
