The happy life of a prodigal

The way of the imperial examination is to make the world public, to select talents and talents, to integrate politics and science, and to form the world.

When traveling on the great road, the world is for the public, this is the "Book of Rites: Li Yun Chapter"..."

The scholar had obviously already thought about what to say when he saw Fang Xiu.

It's a long story first.

The benefits of the imperial examination are explained from four levels, and the irreplaceability of the imperial examination is explained.

After Fang Xiu heard this, he actually felt that it made some sense, and nodded in agreement, without refuting.

Until the scholar finished speaking, Fang Xiu did not refute.

Seeing this scene, the scholar was naturally stunned.

What does it mean?

After a pause, he said just now: "It seems that Marquis Xin'an quite agrees with what the students said. If so, why did Marquis Xin'an want to change the imperial examination?"

Fang Xiu heard this, glanced at him, smiled on his face, and said lightly: "It's very simple, what you said is right, the way of the imperial examination lies in making the world public, selecting talents and talents, integrating politics and science, and turning the world into one." .

But does this have anything to do with the changes in the imperial examinations?

Why can't clear calculation, clear medicine and clear law realize these four points?

Even in the view of Master Ben Hou, the four points you mentioned are the reasons why the imperial examination needs to be reformed.

Among other things, Your Majesty returned to the Kyoto Prefecture some time ago. You should have heard about that incident, right?

Where did the so-called sage's words, sage's way, selection of virtuous and capable people go?

Above the court, Liubu, and Dali Temple, which one doesn't talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, but doesn't take it to heart?

That being the case, why do you still have to be a Jinshi?Wouldn't the Mingshu Department be better able to enter the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households? "

The scholar was taken aback when he heard this, and for a moment didn't know how to refute.

After hesitating for a while, his expression gradually became firm, and he said four words: "The law of the ancestors!"

"Ah......"

When Fang Xiu heard these four words, he smiled disdainfully, and said: "What is the law of the ancestors? The law of the ancestors must be right, and there must be no changes. If this is the case, why do we still need to conduct the imperial examination? Isn't it better to lift?

In that way, you and other scholars don't need to study, as long as you have a good family background! "

When the scholars heard this, they were all silent.

But someone soon discovered the key to this.

What Xin Anhou said was nothing more than that the Jinshi Department could not select practical talents.

That being the case, don't you know if you just try it out?

Although the scholars study Jinshi subjects, they think that they are not inferior to anyone in miscellaneous studies!

The six arts of a gentleman, every scholar must study.

Even the children of poor families are the same.

Since Xin'anhou said that today's imperial examinations cannot select talents, can new-style colleges do it?

Among other things, one thing is that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households really need to learn arithmetic.

But among these scholars, it is not that there are no people who study mathematics.

That being the case, why not give it a try?

Soon someone stood up and said, "I understand what Marquis Xin'an said, but I just think that it is useless for people from the Jinshi Department to enter the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

After entering Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, one has to re-learn the law. Since this is the case, why not use this as the standard from the beginning? "

Fang Xiu looked at that person, but he was a little appreciative.

One sentence expresses my thoughts.

Fang Xiu looked at him, nodded, and said only one sentence: "It can be said that way."

The man got an affirmative answer and expressed his thoughts.

He opened the mouth and said: "Xin Anhou, students think that there is not much wrong with what you said, but from the students' point of view, instead of having such complicated imperial examinations, it is better to maintain the current situation. It is still a single examination for Jinshi. Wouldn't it be better to subdivide it?"

When Fang Xiu heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, but still said, "Not good."

"Why?" The student looked puzzled.

Fang Xiu looked at him and said, "Study is always more profound when you are young than when you are old. Now that you have decided to work in the Ministry of Industry, what's the point of studying Jinshi?"

Hearing this, the man was a little unhappy.

What is this called? Jinshi subjects, clear scriptures, clear righteousness, what you learn is the Four Books and Five Classics, which is the way of a sage.

How can a person serve the court if he doesn't even understand the most basic way of being a saint?

So, he said indignantly: "Marquis Xin'an's words are a bit too firm, the students think..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu: "Don't think too much, since you think it's wrong, I can ask the students of the academy to compete with you to see who is better in arithmetic. one chip.

If you win, Lord Ben Hou can consider it instead of taking the imperial examination. "

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

Of course, more people are angry.

What is the imperial examination?

The imperial examination is the foundation of the imperial court!

It is the foundation of thousands of scholars!

In your Xin'an Marquis, it turned out to be just a light and fluffy thing. It sounds like you can move if you want to, and don't move if you don't want to.

Don't say it's you, a little Marquis of Xin'an, the so-called Xiaoge is old!

Even His Majesty and all the chief ministers of the cabinet would not dare to say such a thing! ?

Arrogant!

It's too arrogant!

The scholars were very angry.

Of course the one talking to Fang Xiu did too.

Hearing Fang Xiu's contemptuous words, he was naturally angry too.

But at the same time, he knew that Xin Anhou had brain disease, and he couldn't use the thinking of a normal person at all when talking to him.

Since he said he wanted to compete!

it is good!

Then let's compete!

Let's see if we can win!

The scholars in Fangxiu's academy all know about it.

After all, it's a bunch of kids.

Moreover, most of them are a group of children who have never read books, and a large part of them are children from poor families.

These students can only read the Four Books and Five Classics.

How many people have read miscellaneous books?

Most, most, probably because I have read some so-called popular science books by Zhuxuanzhai.

It's okay to look at those things for fun in your spare time.

If you really study it carefully, it's really just a joke.

Several scholars who are proficient in mathematics are confident enough.

It is absolutely impossible for the children of those academy to beat them.

After this competition, Xin Anhou can easily give in.

So...why not?

Chapter 777 Arithmetic

Thinking this way, the scholars began to discuss in low voices.

After about half a stick of incense, it gradually became quiet.

Fang Xiu stood aside, watching the scene silently, without saying a word, nor disturbing them.

After a while, the leading scholar finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, Marquis Xin'an, the content, rules, and location of the competition. The students hope to discuss it with you."

There is nothing to say, Fang Xiu intends to convince these guys this time.

Therefore, he didn't say anything, just waved his hands and said a word: "Okay!"

After determining the basic theme, the following things are relatively simple.

The location is simply placed at the auction next to Baolefang.

The main hall of the auction is enough for ten candidates to answer together, and the sight line is relatively wide, the location is relatively wide, and there will be no cheating.

The rules are also very simple, five scholars are selected, and students of Fangxiu Academy select five persons.

The content of the first competition is arithmetic. The adults of the Imperial College of Computing and Computing will ask ten people to answer the questions, and the one with the higher score will win.

As for the content of the subsequent competition, so far, it has not been determined.

The reason is very simple, whether it is Mingfa or Mingmedicine, scholars are not good at it, and the students of Fangxiu Academy have never studied it.

Gentleman Six Arts...

Like archery, calligraphy and painting, they need the accumulation of age and time.

Even if some of the scholars can beat the students of these academies, it seems a bit invincible.

These self-respecting scholars are naturally unwilling to do this.

Therefore, let's try the math first.

Of course, in the eyes of these scholars, it is impossible for these children to beat themselves just by competing in arithmetic.

After that things are much easier!

From the changes in the imperial examinations, it can be clearly seen that Xin'an Hou highly respected mathematics.

In the subject of mathematics, the students of the academy were defeated, so is there any need for the next test?

Thinking of this, these scholars gradually dispersed.

Although Xin Anhou suffers from brain disease, he often does some incomprehensible things.

But there is one thing that everyone can rest assured.

That is Xin Anhou's promise!

From the current point of view, as long as it is what Xin Anhou promised, it seems that there is nothing that cannot be done!

Not to mention the Shenji camp or the Zhuxuanzhai, it's the strategy of the unity of the land and the earth.

So many people are not optimistic about it, and Xin'anhou has not solved it in the same way.

That being the case, the change in the imperial examination should be nothing.

There is nothing wrong with Fang Xiu.

The location and content of the competition have all been determined.

The next time is to select some students who are good at arithmetic.

Other than that, there's nothing else to worry about.

What's more, he just said that he would consider the current imperial examinations, but he didn't say that he was certain.

Is the imperial examination...

It must be changed.

As for how to change, it is indeed necessary to think carefully.
