Li Chengxiu has been a member of the Ministry of Rites for several years and has been responsible for inspecting the examination halls many times. According to regulations, no papers can be reviewed without the tribute examination, and Li Chengxiu is not qualified to read the examination halls. However, when he inspects the examination halls, he often pauses to see the candidates' answers, and gives a score in his heart, and has experienced the little addiction of tribute examinations.

Over the years, the test papers he has read have been calculated by a hundred years. Most of the candidates who take the exam have focused on poetry and prose without exception. They use poetry and prose to impress the tribute and obtain good results. Current affairs and prose questions are not valued by candidates. The answers to the questions are based on the examples of the previous dynasty. He has read the answers to the answers on the water control paper: The answer sheet has analyzed the experience of Li Bing and Wang Jing in detail, and combined their water control plan to answer them. They wrote them in a very rich way, and I was quite proud.

Li Chengxiu despised: Li Bing and Wang Jing were undoubtedly the wise men of water control. Their experience and methods of water control are indeed worth learning from. However, they were figures from the period of King Zhaoxiang of Qin in the Warring States Period, and people from the period of Emperor Ming of Han. So far, they have a history of more than 500 years. Their experience in water control has been studied more than 800 times in previous dynasties, and they have also gotten the current analysis and summary? There is no innovation, and they have given C and others the best results. I still hope to pass the imperial examination?

After looking at it, although the answers are different, they are always different. There are very few who are truly innovative. Until Pei Min answered, Li Chengxiu's eyes were shocked.

The yi sentence is orderly and innovative, focusing on the control of the Yellow River water on the key to sand control, and writing clearly and clearly. Especially the control method of shaving water through sand, he has never seen anything he has ever seen and is definitely not an ancient method. The other party’s writing is reasonable and well-founded, and even if Li Chengxiu couldn’t judge whether it was really feasible, he was still shocked.

Pei Min was shocked when he saw the examiner's face, and was very proud: this method of rinsing sand does not require the support of technology, it is just an advanced and scientific method of water control, and it is completely possible to be implemented in the Tang Dynasty.

The Yellow River has been called the mother river since ancient times and is the main source of the Ming Dynasty. However, the fierceness of the Yellow River is also well known. If this method of rinsing sand is implemented, it will benefit hundreds of thousands of people in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and benefit thousands of years. Not only the Yellow River, but also can be used as long as the flow reaches a river with a defined boundary, including the Yangtze River.

Pei Min does not stay on the question of water control, and the big killing weapon of water rinsing sand is enough to deal with this question.

What he considered next was the second question, how to effectively prevent edge problems.

Since the historical records of China, border troubles have always been a topic that cannot be avoided: Quanrong, Shanrong, Di people in the Zhou Dynasty; Xiongnu in the Qin and Han Dynasties; Five Barbarians in the Jin Dynasty; Turks and Tubo in the Tang Dynasty; even later the Great Liao Dynasty in the Great Xia and Jin Kingdoms in the Song Dynasty; Oirat and Jurchen in the Ming Dynasty, etc., are all top priority border troubles, and these border troubles make the people on the border troubles unbearable. If you are not careful, it will even cause the huge Central Plains dynasty to be occupied by foreign tribes, thus destroying the country.

The harm of border troubles and the seriousness of the country are particularly important. How to prevent them has been the top priority in all dynasties.

Pei Min thought about the current border troubles of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks in the north, the Khitans in the northeast, the Xi tribes in the south, the Tubo in the south, and the Nanzhao in the south.

After pondering for a long time, Pei Min couldn't figure out what it was. Should he set up defense zones like the Song Dynasty and cooperate with each other? Or would he station heavy troops on the frontier like the Ming Dynasty and rely on the guarding of the checkpoints?

He shook his head and vetoed in his mind: The military system is different, and these two methods are not suitable for the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Dynasty, Tang Dynasty!

Pei Min suddenly felt moved. Isn’t the Tang Dynasty proud of being the strong foreign war? Since this is the case, why should border troubles be guarded against?

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han was worried about border troubles? During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, did he care about border troubles?

Emperor Wu of Han fought the Huns and fled in a hurry. Emperor Taizong of Tang destroyed almost all border troubles during that period. In the Tang Dynasty, is there any border troubles?

Pei Min integrated the ideas in his mind and started writing suddenly. The reason why border troubles exist was because the country's army was not strong and its deterrence was insufficient to foreign races. If he could defeat the Xiongnu like Emperor Wu of Han, if he could leave his hometown like Emperor Taizong of Tang, Tuyuhun was not convinced, Tuyuhun was not convinced, Turks were not convinced, and Gaochang was not convinced, and there were no external troubles to say.

Pei Min thought of this and wrote: "The strong and strong eat, the way to survive. The foreign race is like a wolf, and I am as weak as a sheep, and I am as a disaster for border troubles. There is no way to prevent it. If I am as fierce as a tiger, and the foreign race is afraid of it, there is no need to defend against it. If the country does not have a strong army, it cannot be powerful. The four barbarians are not afraid of it, but the border troubles are not stopped."

The best defense is offense. If you want the country to be free from border troubles, you will always be passive in defense. Offense is the king and strength is the truth.

If the Tang Dynasty's military front pointers are invincible, come to the enemy and kill the enemy, come to 100,000 to 100,000, you can even go thousands of miles away for expeditions such as the Tang Dynasty destroying Tuyuhun, destroying the Turks, and destroying Gaochang accidents, why worry about the border injustice?

Thinking of the current government system of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Min once again wrote about the reform of the military system, and added something more: Ma Zheng!

If you want to truly confront the Turks, Khitans, Xi tribes, and Tubo, Ma Zheng must never be taken down. Facing the nation on the horse, if you do not have the support of powerful cavalry, you will always be at a disadvantage in the field battle.

Pei Min's disadvantage here does not mean that infantry cannot defeat cavalry. In fact, infantry won many battles. He refers to the disadvantage of degree: if the cavalry loses, flees in all directions, what should infantry chase? And if the infantry loses? Only the group-destroying ends.

For some reason, many cases in history are that the Han people defeated foreign races and killed more than a thousand enemies. However, if the Han people lost, they would be killed in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of times. Compared with the two sides, the gap is unreasonable.

If you want to gain advantage in fighting with aliens, the horse politics must be developed.

Pei Min especially admired Li Shimin's methods and courage. In the face of the mess left by the Sui Dynasty, he had the courage to promote the horse politics in a general way, and the horse politics office was prosperous. The key was not to lose national strength like Emperor Wu of Han: In his memory, during the Taizong period, the peak army and horses of the Tang Dynasty were 700,000. In every expedition, three cavalry were rotated, and infantry were divided into transportation, which enhanced the marching. Throughout history, only the early Tang Dynasty could have produced this pen in the Central Plains dynasty in the early Tang Dynasty.

Pei Min did not expect that the current Tang Dynasty would be like the Taizong period, but at least the cavalrymen were fighting horses instead of using mules instead.

After writing what he was thinking in his heart, Pei Min checked whether there were any mistakes in the words and sentences: there was enough time, and if there were any mistakes, he could rewritten the portion so as not to inexplicably reduce points.

When the time came, Pei Min handed over the answer sheet, and the three-day scientific examination ended here.
