The so-called policy essays refer to articles that discuss political issues at that time and propose countermeasures.

Since the previous dynasty, it has been commonly used as one of the items in the imperial examination.

However, when the eight-part essay dominates the world, policy theory often does not occupy too important a position.

Only after some pragmatic officials came to power and tried to reform the imperial examination system, they would pay more attention to policy theory.

However, reforming the traditional imperial examination system will inevitably affect the interests of the majority of scholar-bureaucrats.

Therefore, generally speaking, it is difficult to move.

Just like the situation faced by Zhang Julu, the chief and assistant minister of the dynasty at this time.

However, for a pragmatic official like Chen Sizhi, he would naturally not study the classics like a pedantic Confucian scholar.

Since entering the officialdom, Chen Sizhi has long thrown away what "Confucius said" and "what he said" thousands of miles away.

Therefore, he pays more attention to the pragmatism of the argument.

Before seeing Huang Tinghui's test paper, Chen Sizhi also read a lot of test papers. However, when Chen Sizhi saw the opinions of other scholars, he shook his head in disdain.

Big and empty!

This is the evaluation given by Chen Sizhi. Such scholarly articles are well written, but what is the use?

Some scholars even said nonsense that as long as His Majesty the Emperor is wise, there will be no disasters in the world.

He actually learned Dong Zhongshu's tricks very well.

But how could the disasters that happened every year in the Dasheng Dynasty have something to do with the emperor?

Chen Sizhi naturally glanced at articles like this.

However, Huang Tinghui's article made Chen Sizhi read it with gusto.

Unlike some "big but empty" articles, Huang Tinghui's article is practical.

He mentioned that after encountering a disaster, what should officials in charge do as soon as possible?

How to organize forces, how to calm people's hearts, and how to quickly eliminate disasters.

In addition, Huang Tinghui also introduced how to use grassroots power, how to unite the people and unleash the powerful power of the people.

Combining strength and softness, it not only deters lawless elements, but also appeases good people.

Not to mention ordinary scholars, even some officials who have been in office for many years may not have the understanding Huang Tinghui has in the article.

Even Chen Sizhi can get inspiration from Huang Tinghui's article.

Even if there was no disaster, the article mentioned the ideas and methods of utilizing and organizing the power of the common people, which Chen Sizhi found extremely useful.

After all, as an official, although he has the power granted by the court, as the saying goes: a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.

After some officials went to local places, they were ignored and unable to compete with the local powerful people.

Chen Sizhi also encountered this situation when he first arrived in Ruian County.

Although he borrowed the strength of various parties, he finally made some achievements.

But compared with Chen Sizhi's ambition back then, it was still far behind.

In the policy discussion, Huang Tinghui provided Chen Sizhi with another point that he had never noticed.

"OK!"

"OK!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Chen Sizhi couldn't help but pat his thigh and laughed.

"Master?" The teacher looked at Chen Sizhi who was laughing and asked a little strangely.

"It's okay, I just got excited after reading it!"

"Just wake up!" Chen Sizhi said to his master with a smile.

"I didn't expect that some of the students in this county examination could write articles that touched my heart."

The teacher said with a smile.

"Don't underestimate the world's heroes. There are many heroes in the world!"

"Although this article was written by a student who is not even a child!"

"But every word is reasonable, it is a rare masterpiece!"

"If I were the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, after reading this article, I would definitely ask everyone in the world to read it!"

Chen Sizhi was generous with his words of praise, and this compliment far exceeded the teacher's expectations.

He couldn't help but asked curiously, "Master County, who wrote this article?"

"How could he be so talented?" the teacher asked quickly.

"Speaking of this son, who else can be mentioned?"

"Who could it be?"

"Who else could it be besides him?" County Master Chen Sizhi did not tell his master directly, he just asked these three questions in succession.

"It's him?"

"It's him again?" This time, even the teacher was surprised and could not speak clearly.

"Huang Xiaolangjun!" The teacher looked at the county master Chen Sizhi.

"It's this guy!"

"It's such a rare piece of jade. It only needs a little polishing to attract worldwide attention!"

County boss Chen Sizhi read Huang Tinghui's policy arguments again and kept those impressive arguments in mind.

After a while, he will be transferred out of Ruian County.

As an airborne official, Chen Sizhi hopes to learn something useful from this policy.

He doesn't care that this policy comes from a scholar who is not even a child, he just needs to make achievements.

After being shocked for a long time, the teacher looked embarrassed.

After a while, the teacher looked at Chen Sizhi and said, "Master, there are rumors circulating recently!"

"Some people say that I have a close relationship with Huang Xiaolangjun, and they will definitely name Huang Xiaolangjun as the head of the case!"

Having said this, the teacher stopped talking.

Some things just need to be clicked!

No need to say more!

But after hearing these words, the expression of the county master Chen Sizhi changed.

This person who spreads rumors is really scheming!

"oh?"

"Rumor?" Chen Sizhi smiled.

"Yes, sir!" The teacher nodded.

Reputation is extremely important to an official.

If the rumors spread widely, it will become true.

For the sake of his official reputation, the teacher struggled and hesitated for a long time.

Finally I couldn't help but say it.

Although the teacher has a good impression of Huang Tinghui, even though the impression is good, the teacher has always been Chen Sizhi's confidant.

If you suffer a loss, you will suffer a loss; if you suffer a loss, you will both be prosperous.

In order for Chen Sizhi to make a better judgment, the teacher could only reveal the news to Chen Sizhi.

However, the teacher naturally knows Chen Sizhi best, so he may not have other meanings when he reveals this information.

"Interesting, interesting!" Chen Sizhi said a few words. He turned and looked at the teacher, "Master, do you think I should rank Huang Tinghui in order to shut up those people outside?"

"Of course it is up to the master to make the final decision!" said the teacher and the county master Chen Sizhi.

"But those who spread rumors are really hateful!"

"They actually want to taint my official reputation!"

The teacher said bitterly.

"Rumors are worse than tigers, if I don't name Huang Tinghui as the head of the case!"

"This should be able to fulfill their wish and wash away the stigma on me!"

Chen Sizhi said in a calm tone.

The teacher just stood aside with his hands folded and didn't say a word.

"Forget it!" Chen Sizhi picked up the brush, and the brush in his hand fell on Huang Tinghui's test paper.
