The Three Kingdoms

"Same joy, same joy"

Liu Bei was very excited, laughed a few times, and strode out of the hall with meteoric strides, while walking, he also said: "You are going with a certain one, and see how the unicorn of a certain family is doing." To be continued.

[Chapter 782 of the first imperial examination]

From Chengdu to Bingzhou, there was a chaotic battlefield. Shu, Hanzhong, Liang, Wei, and Wu all invested a lot of troops. You counted on me, fighting non-stop, without stopping for a moment.

However, in Jinling City in Wu State, the exams were a bit hot.

The imperial examinations in Jinling City and the feast of scholars stirred the hearts of all parties. It is rare to see so many outstanding scholars gather together in one place. Many famous Confucian scholars even went to Jinling City to watch the battle.

To say that scholars gather together, there are such scenes in both Jiangdong Academy and Jinling Academy nowadays. Jinling Academy has more than ten thousand students, which is not just talk.

However, the situation in the imperial examination was different from that in the academies. Those who dared to participate in the imperial examination had some literary skills, and most of them were outstanding scholars from all over the world. This was a big gathering of elite scholars.

This time the imperial examination was just a transition, and there were a group of students who were recommended and passed directly to the finals.

The preliminary examination is for the selection and the list of the recommended students who will come up later, and it is for the list of participating in the real imperial examination.

The preliminary examination lasted for two days, and the examination questions were of course not the extremely perverted stereotyped essays of the Ming Dynasty. To put it simply, the examiner announced a topic, and the examinee wrote the essay.

There are no express regulations, and you can play freely. This is similar to a postgraduate study, which is a topic, and then expresses your views.

In this preliminary examination, the topic on the first day was on the old politics, and the topic on the second day was on the new politics of the state of Wu.

Although it has been a while since the reform in Wu State, and now the New Deal has basically begun to stabilize, Sun Quan still wants to see how these scholars view the development of the New Deal.

The so-called New Deal of the State of Wu is a court system with the cabinet, military aircraft department, and Yushitai as the core, and six departments and 24 divisions as the support. It is implemented very well, but there must be some shortcomings.

official position.Ninety-nine percent of them come from scholars, so the opinions of scholars are very important, and Sun Quan just wants to know.How they feel about the New Deal.

A thousand people have a thousand opinions, if you listen to it, you will understand.

At sunset, the exam had already ended, and at this time, students came out one by one.Walking down the examination room of Stone Mountain, during the period, twos and threes, began to exchange the experience of the examination.

"This time, the topic of the exam is actually about the court system. Your Majesty's topic is really bold, and we are not afraid of us scolding him in the article!"

"Your Majesty is open-minded, how can you be so stingy!"

"Brother, how did you do in the exam this time?"

"I'm sure!"

"Oh, I can't do it anymore. I don't know much about the New Deal of the court, so I can't write anything good!"

"Actually, this time is just the first exam. Only those who can really get on the list can enter the real imperial examination, and discuss success or failure with the heroes of the world!"

"The real top students are recommended by major academies to enter the imperial examination. They don't need to take the first exam at all!"

"Actually, there is a preliminary exam, and the king has given us a chance. I believe that this time I will definitely be on the list!"

"..."

Among thousands of students.There are different expressions, some are obviously depressed, some are excited, and some linger with confidence and arrogance.

Under the setting sun.The figure of Sun Quan was standing on a gazebo on the stone mountain, with his hands behind his back, watching the students walking up and down one by one, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Thriving scholars!"

This kind of situation is similar to the situation of the college entrance examination in later generations, and it is also a situation he wants to see.It's a pity that he still can't put mathematics subjects into the imperial examination.

After he turned Arabic numerals into weighted numbers, the development of weighted numbers has been rapid, and many colleges now offer managerial subjects.

However, if mathematics wants to develop, it will take some time. The Han Dynasty has inherited Confucianism for hundreds of years. In ten or eight years, Sun Quan could not turn around the scholars with Confucianism as the core.

"You kid has done a good deed!"

Cai Yong didn't know when he appeared next to Sun Quan, following Sun Quan's gaze, he looked at these energetic students with some relief.

"Hehe!" Sun Quan smiled: "It's a happy event to have such a scene for the first time in the imperial examination, dad, don't be so stern!"

The old man faced him with a straight face, as if he owed him ninety-eight million yuan, and it was rare to see his smile.

"The old man never thought that one day he would see such a prosperous scene, what a scholar's luck!"

At this time, Cai Yong's old face did not hide his comfortable smile.

"Father, this is just the beginning!" Sun Quan said proudly: "I, Sun Zhongmou, will one day make it happen. Everyone in the world will not go hungry, and everyone in the world will have books to read!"

"If there is such a day, the old man will die in peace!"

Hearing this, Cai Yong's eyes were wide open. In his life, there have been countless ups and downs, and many things can be ignored. Even if he was forcibly brought back to Jiangdong by Sun Quan and missed an appointment with Wang Yun, now he also sees it. The only obsession , that is, more people can read books.

"Father, you are still young, so you can't say such angry words!" Sun Quan said with a smile, Zheng Xuan can't get out of bed now, and he probably will run out of fuel before this year. He is the only great Confucian who can do it now , there is only Cai Yong.

"Boy, old man, I'm already sixty years old. If I can live for a few more years in Jiangdong Academy, only you, a brat, dare to drag me out." The old man glanced at him and snorted coldly. He is the only old man who yells at Sun Quan like this.

"Father, as the saying goes, those who can do more work, isn't there nothing I can do?" Sun Quan smiled coyly, he did not kindly do this, and even Sister Cai blamed him a little: "Well, Dad, if you cultivate Find an heir who can resist the Department of Education, and I will send you back to Jiangdong Academy for retirement!"

Now that the New Deal has just been implemented, Wu's background is not very big. It is unrealistic for a director of the Department of Education to climb up step by step from below.

Only those who can stand up to the banner can be recruited, but in this regard, Sun Quan does not have many candidates.

Don't look at the fact that there are a large number of scholars in the state of Wu now, but if you want to find a few who can become the pillars of the court, there are really not many.

"Bastard, you still kneel and kowtow three times, are you cursing the old man that I will die?"

Cai Yong has developed a habit over the years, he must not give Sun Zhongmou a good face, because he can always make himself short-lived for several years every time.

"Slip of the tongue, complete slip of the tongue, am I showing respect to you?" Sun Quan was speechless.He said the wrong thing again.

"If you want to say that you can carry the banner of the Department of Education, the old man has a candidate in his heart. It depends on whether you, the king, are willing to give up love!"

Cai Yong glared at him before saying leisurely.

"tell me the story!"

"Cheng Dao!"

"Chief editor of Jiangdong Daily. Cheng Dao!" Sun Quan was a little surprised: "Can he do it?"

"You underestimated him!"

Cai Yong said with a sneer: "As far as knowledgeable and respected Confucians are concerned, there is no shortage of Confucians in Wu, but there are not many people who can adapt to the court and can advance and retreat freely. This person can adapt to both knowledge and character. The position of the Department of Education!"

Being in the imperial court, he couldn't help himself. Since he was in charge of the Department of Education, he has forced himself to lower his temper a lot, otherwise he would not be able to adapt to the environment of officialdom.
