v10 Chapter 13: Only examine history and policy theory

The Confucian scholars, Orchid students, ronin, and sons of rich farmers who gathered in Edo have successively cast their resumes for three generations in the Edo Minami Town Office. According to statistics, there are actually as many as 30,000 people.

   Everyone is anxiously waiting for the shogunate to clearly announce the test date. By the time the general scope of the test has been publicized, the written test only tests two contents, one is history and the other is policy theory.

  There is no need to talk about policy theory, everyone knows it, it's just a matter of commenting. But history, certainly not to examine those messy things, only examine the history of about 300 years of peacemaking since Tokugawa Ieyasu's rise in the army.

   To put it bluntly, it depends on your political leanings!

I can’t guarantee that everyone will serve and respect the shogunate sincerely, but at least I have to make sure that the people who come in yell that I love the shogunate. To kiss. You can't even shout this, it must be a special anti-thief. Go as far as you can.

   And this history does not limit the teaching material, and the answer sheet is directly drawn out. We will see the difference when we review the paper. Exam time is so tight, unless it is a treacherous, high IQ anti-thief, the average anti-thief does not have the time to modify his writing answer sheet to perfection.

   As long as they answer the paper in their usual tone, hehe, I don't believe you without a few words of rebellion. It is difficult to change a person's mindset in a short period of time. The so-called "easy to change" nature is difficult to change.

   My 300-year history is the scope of the test, it depends on what you do!

Nong’s books such as "The Illustrated Biography of the Genealogy of Kuanyong", "The Genealogy of Kuanjeong Reconstruction of the Genealogy", "The Genealogy of the Fan Han", and the "Sequel of the Genealogy of the Fan Han", etc. were originally not purchased at all, and even rarely circulated for a time. Luoyang paper is expensive.

   The anti-thief also knew very well that what I said might be inappropriate, but in the books edited by the shogunate, they are all conclusive. As long as I follow the instructions written on these books, I will definitely not be judged wrong.

  Tadaemon didn’t want this effect, but he did it in a hurry. Anyway, the main purpose is to win over the vast majority of neutrals, and the prevention of anti-thief is only a small part.

   For most of the neutral factions, the Tokugawa shogunate is still orthodox. They have no feeling of resistance to learning official history, and even think that this is the most normal thing.

   Shun Tao Chuemon can also gradually squeeze out folk stories about Tokugawa Ieyasu's tripartite being beaten out of shit. As long as Ieyasu Tokugawa has fought endlessly in the tripartite exams for two consecutive generations, even though defeat is a glorious defeat, the consensus of the whole society will become like this.

   If you insist that Tokugawa Ieyasu was beaten out of shit, then you won't be able to pass the Yu Family for the rest of your life. You can carry it by yourself, can your son be guaranteed to be able to carry it? Or if you don't keep everything, you starve to death, and you don't have a son at all.

   In addition to this, there is also the so-called Specialty Diocesa, which means literally. If you have special skills in a certain professional direction, the shogunate can also demand you. For example, those literary and artistic creators who had been incorporated into the shogunate's royal family before, now they have become the new mouthpiece of the shogunate, and they are shouting for the shogunate on the high ground of public opinion.

   Now the shogunate desperately needs all kinds of talents. For example, if you speak English very well, then you are eligible to be included in the royal family. In recent years, there are not enough translators who can directly interpret. Even if he is not working in the shogunate, there are compradors and high-profile businessmen in Yokohama who want this kind of talent.

  Or you can make a gun, even if it’s just a Gobes blaster. Although that thing is outdated, but you have this skill even if you are a talent. The shogunate lacks skilled craftsmen, each of which is a precious resource, and it will be you if it comes. Besides, this is no longer a technician. If you can independently master the method of making guns, you are at least a technician.

  Or if you are a little more powerful, you say that you are the big disciple of Takashima Qiuho, and a dozen-pound gunner arrives, then you are powerful, and there is nothing to say, so you can directly use it.

   In short, it’s that sentence, learn the arts of civil and martial arts, and the emperor’s family!

   Although our Tokugawa family is not an emperor, we are not a Japanese king in size, and selling to the Japanese king will not make you lose money. Anyway, people have to ask for a living in this life, what's wrong with working for the general?

   More than 20,000 people finally chose the normal path and stepped into the examination room. In fact, it is said to be the examination room, which is the school field of the previous passing team. The open-air examination is open to the wind, and each person is given a straw mat and sits on the floor. Then you can answer the papers.

   There is no other way. Edo really can't find a place to provide exams for more than 20,000 people at once, and the reconstruction work is only halfway through. Many places are construction sites and can't be fooled. Simply sit on the floor and make do with the exam.

   After two years, Edo University was expanded. Two more teaching buildings were built and a few more test centers were set up. Everyone moved into the room for the exam.

  Tadaemon is not in charge of the exam~lightnovelpub.net~ Mizuno Tadashi Seiki is working on this matter. Chuemon just needs to be the president of Edo University. After recruiting these two to three hundred people, not all of them have to enter Edo University for two years. The status of this teacher and student can't get rid of, there is no need to take everything on yourself.

   Mizuno Tadashi is capable and vigorous anyway. Their family is also a famous family under the Tokugawa shogunate, and he is happily doing things that can enhance their family's reputation. When people see him in the future, they still can't praise him, because Hamamatsu selected talents for the Tokugawa shogunate.

   And let this matter aside, Chuemon had to help Matsudaira to recruit troops. The requirements of the British for recruits are all based on hard standards such as height and weight, to the point that they do not care whether they are farmers or Miao-shaped swordsmen. Maybe they wanted to come, anyway, they were all sent to India to be cannon fodder. If they could carry the gun and release the gun, it would be done, and the rest was to obey the order.

   Or persuade the order to be more important than the ability to fire a gun. This year, the British army has a very strict order of superiority and inferiority. Officers are officers, and soldiers can even be punished to death. They only need an obedient military war machine, which is not human and is not important at all.

   It was to save Chuyemon and what they explained. Those British guys recruited peasants with big hands and feet, with better physical strength and endurance, and they didn't need the whips in their hands to move. These peasant soldiers were very obedient.

  The only problem is height. Generally, recruits with a height of only 1.5 meters, coupled with Sharps made in the United States, have a somewhat nondescript feeling. If you add a bayonet, then...
