    The courtyard is so deep that one can't hear the song of empty cicadas.  When Qin Mu came out of the small courtyard shaded by flowers and trees, it was afternoon time. There was a slight spring overcast, catkins were flying over the gallery, and pear petals were filling the lotus vat beside the gallery.  At present, the situation in Japan is basically under control, and the North Sea Fleet has basically stopped intervening in Japan's war; Although Sakai Tadakatsu does not have the talent of Abe Tadaki, the current situation is very favorable to the Tokugawa shogunate, and various daimyo are here  He did not dare to go against the Tokugawa shogunate again. Under such circumstances, he, Masayuki Hoshina and others could barely manage the shogunate.  However, due to the policy of expelling ronin promulgated by the Tokugawa shogunate, a large number of samurai who had lost their source of livelihood defected to Yui Masayu's command. Coupled with the support of the Kyoto court, Yui Masayu's rebellion was not completely extinguished and was retreating step by step towards Kyoto.  .  As a result, Japan was roughly divided into two camps, one was the Tokugawa shogunate, and the other was the Sekigahara army supported by Imasa Yuki, supported by the Emperor of Japan.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The original purpose of letting Ye Fushou control Xingzi was to prevent the situation in Japan from getting out of control.  Now it seems that Xingzi's move is not useful for the time being.  Qin Mu recalled the song "Empty Cicada" she played and the harmony song, which were also quite interesting. Well, the queen herself was also very interesting.  Qin Mu drove back to the Daqin Palace and received a report from India.  The memorial was sent personally by Gu Jun'en, the Minister of War. After Qin Mu read it, he asked, "What does Gu Qing think of this?" Gu Jun'en said: "Your Majesty, I thought that our country, Qin, could temporarily watch the fire from the other side. Between the Mughals and Junggar,  What will happen in the end is not yet certain, but after Sengge easily obtained the rich lands of the two provinces, he may not be willing to return to the Western Regions. The two heroes will eventually fight.  "Gu Qing thinks who has a better chance of winning." "The Junggar army is a bit acclimated to India. But now, the two Aurangzebs have the advantage.  Two brothers proclaimed themselves emperors one after another, and there were internal and external troubles. In addition, the sea was watching from the south. Aurangzeb was not in the right position, and his prestige was not established after usurping the throne. After careful analysis, the situation was very unfavorable to Aurangzeb and the monks.  Aurangzeb could only win but not lose in the battle with the Sangha. Once he suffered a heavy setback, his rule would most likely fall apart. Therefore, I believe that if there were no more real forces joining the Sangha, the Sangha's chances of winning would be greater.  " "Other forces" Qin was not asking, but thinking to himself.     no doubt.  The other forces Gu Junen mentioned were the Safavid dynasty of Persia. When this Persian empire was strong, its territory stretched from Khorasan to the east.  It reaches the Euphrates River in the west, the Karakum Desert and the Aral Sea in the north, and the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea in the south; including the entire territory of Iran and most of Iraq.  Parts of the Caucasus, Turkmenistan, western Afghanistan.  In southern Uzbekistan, during the Abbasid period, the territory even reached as far as Kurdistan and Diyarbakir in eastern Turkey.  Safa was a Shiite believer in the empire. He was the only country in Central Asia that could fight against the Sunni Ottoman Empire. The war with the Ottoman Empire for Baghdad lasted for 150 years.  And the Mughal Dynasty also had the ability to send troops to compete for Kandahar, and even the Indus River Basin, which was later known as Pakistan.  Now the Junggar army has entered the Indus River Basin, and the war with the Mughals, or to be precise, with Aurangzeb is in full swing. As the saying goes, the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman wins.  Qin Mu never wanted the Safavid Empire to be the fisherman.  Qin asked someone to bring a map, and then said: "In order to prevent the Safavid dynasty from coming to rob the fishermen, we first sent an order to Hai Rufeng to mobilize some warships to go north to the Arabian Sea. Once the time is right, we will first rob the Sindh area, next to the outlet of the Indus River.  Karachi Port, if necessary, use this place as a base to support the Junggar Tribe. ""Yes, Your Majesty." Now the Junggar Tribe is very obedient and is carrying out the Islamicization in the Western Regions. For this reason alone, Qin Mu will do it.  I feel very satisfied.  If Junggar occupies northern India, it will definitely become more powerful. Will it still be so obedient?  Qin Mu is not sure about this, but as long as it is not allowed to unify central and southern India, Great Qin will have enough ability to contain it.  Of course, Qin Mu did not actually want the Junggars to unify northern India. What he wanted to see was for the Junggars to occupy the Pakistani region in later generations and maintain a high-risk balance with the Mughal Dynasty. This would be more conducive to Qin's checks and balances, and would also be more effective  Conducive to the spread of Chinese culture.  The key is the spread of Han culture, which is a kind of soft power.?Expansion, which is sometimes more important than military strength, has a more far-reaching and lasting impact.  Qin Mu has always emphasized that cultural expansion cannot lag behind military expansion, and in the future, it must even be ahead of military expansion.  India is a hodgepodge and has too many people. It is unrealistic to turn this kind of place into the territory of the Qin Dynasty, but it can slowly become the largest colony of the Qin Dynasty. To achieve this, military expansion alone is not enough.  , must exert cultural influence.  In terms of the literary level, you must not get an imperial examination.  After Gu Junen left the Jianjia Palace, Qin Mu leaned on the imperial chair and casually said to Liu Rushi, who was standing aside to serve as an ink: "The imperial examination has lasted for thousands of years, and it has had a profound impact on the past dynasties. If so, do you think the imperial examination has a profound impact on the past?"  What are the impacts on society as a whole?" Qin Mu paused at this, and then said, "Let's take a look at the economic aspect first. What impact do the imperial examinations have on the social economy? "  Just ended, more than 300 new scholars, led by the prince and the minister of rites, went to the memorial halls of the victims in Jiangyin and Yangzhou to visit and swear an oath.  At such a time period, it was normal for the emperor to ask about the imperial examination, but it was a bit sudden, and he was asked about the economic impact by name. Liu Rushi was not prepared and could only say truthfully: "Your Majesty, can you allow me to think about it first?"  "Okay, think about it first." Qin Mu himself didn't need to think carefully about the issue of the imperial examination.  Generally speaking, in the Tang and Song dynasties, the role of imperial examinations was relatively positive.  However, since the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination system has actually been riddled with ills, which are hard to recover from. The role of the imperial examination has gradually become more harmful than beneficial; in addition to constraining the minds of literati and creating thousands of pedantics like Kong Yiji  In addition to literati, its influence on the entire society and the entire nation is everywhere, and its influence has reached a shocking level.  Everyone seems to have forgotten that the original intention of the imperial examination was just to select some officials.  Qin Mu remembered that he had seen Yu Qiuyu describe the paradox of the imperial examination system like this: "Originally, it was to show fairness and deliver encouraging temptations to as many people as possible in the whole society. As a result, the entire land of Kyushu became an imperial examination competition ground, and everyone who could read or read could not  Young men mortgaged all the success, failure, honor and disgrace in life. The connotation of the imperial examination was greatly overweight. It was originally intended to show authority and blocked many informal promotion paths other than the imperial examination. As a result, families and individuals who had no other choice had to  The imperial examination is regarded as a life-and-death political battle, and the rational motivation for the establishment of the imperial examination is gradually deformed. The calmness, objectivity, patience, and peace that should be used in selecting people are replaced by vigorous anxiety, excitement, panic, and panic.  Didn't you take a test of some cultural knowledge? Wasn't it just to see who has the qualifications to serve as an administrative official?  It all smells like burnt food." "In short, the imperial examination was originally just for selecting some officials, but because of too many decorations and too much exaggeration, it disturbed the hearts of all the scholars, and not many people could calm down and do it.  Knowledge; has distorted the mentality of everyone on the land of Kyushu. Everyone regards winning the exam as the greatest honor. Only in this way can you prove the value of your life. Apart from this, you are nothing.  Therefore, if the imperial examination is not reformed, everyone¡¯s mentality will continue to be distorted.  Why can Western natural science gradually surpass China? Is it because the Chinese are not smart enough?     no.  There may be only one answer. Chinese scholars devoted all their ingenuity, and even their whole life's energy, to the imperial examinations. They stabbed at hanging beams, chiseled through walls to steal light, and studied the scriptures day after day, for reasons other than nature.  Science is just for the title on the gold list.  If the imperial examination system is not reformed, how will China's natural sciences develop?  To be continued) Chapter 1101 Burnt Smell:
