Section 33 Admission to the Faculty of Admission

"Open a business? What do you want to do? Wang Xiu obviously didn't show surprise because of Cai Ji's words. And the "countermeasures" he said in his mouth are an important part of the probation system, and to put it bluntly, it is an exam.

In the eyes of some people in later generations, the imperial examination system seems to have opened a precedent for China's civil service examinations. But in fact, the probationary system of the Han Dynasty also had to be examined. There are four major subjects in the examination of the inspection system: filial piety, Maocai, inspection and honesty, and Guanglu. "Filial piety" is "morality", that is, a person's conduct. "Maocai" is "talent", that is, personal talent. "Cha Lian" means to inspect and promote honest officials. Those who are promoted as "honest officials" are mostly low-level officials, and after being promoted, they are promoted according to their original positions. "Guanglu" is also known as "Guanglu Four Elements", that is, simple, generous, unyielding, and have four qualities. This section is specially set up for bureaucrats who serve honestly, without outstanding achievements, and whose superiors have not been promoted, so that one or two of them can be selected and promoted each year. It can be seen that filial piety and honesty are used to select talents, and cha lian and Guanglu are the internal assessments of the bureaucracy. Therefore, the Han Dynasty was quite thoughtful in the selection of officials.

However, the difference with the imperial examination system is that the Han Dynasty inspection system requires the recommendation of local officials and celebrities before they can be eligible to participate in the examination. This is because the Han Dynasty attached great importance to the moral character of talents. People with "problems" in personal morality, no matter how talented they are, will not be allowed to participate in scientific examinations. Therefore, among the four major subjects of the probation system, filial piety and honesty are the most important. However, the criterion of "morality" has always been the most inaccurate, and if the bureaucrats and celebrities in charge of the inspection are selfless, they will naturally be able to select talents with both ability and political integrity for the imperial court. However, if the power of evaluation is in the hands of favoritists and fraudsters, then "morality" is simply a rubber band that can be loosened and tightened. In particular, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the bureaucrats of the family used "virtue" as a shield to promote their cronies as filial piety and honesty, and Maocai, while the truly talented people from the poor did not even get the qualifications for the examination. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the precarious Han court could not even guarantee the annual annual ceremony. As a result, local families are even more unscrupulous in using their power to make their children serve in major forces.

Not to mention far away, let's take Cai Ji himself as an example. After she was promoted to filial piety, she directly served as the Taishou of Donglai without even taking the exam. Coincidentally, not long ago, Sun Ce's fifteen-year-old younger brother Sun Quan was also promoted as filial piety to serve as the commander of Yangxian County. In contrast, Guo Jia and Wang Xiu's knowledge and fame could have thrown off Cai Ji and Sun Quan a few streets, but none of them were promoted to filial piety, not even Maocai.

In Cai Ji's view, the key to replacing the probationary system with the imperial examination system lies in the popularization of official learning. Only when the number and quality of officials and students reach a certain level can the monopoly of the family be broken. Otherwise, the imperial examination is just a change of soup and not a change of medicine, and it is even worse than the examination examination. Therefore, Cai Ji can only start from the recommended and self-recommended talents as he did in the Sui Dynasty to ensure the relative fairness of the competition.

But seeing Cai Ji at this time, he happily replied to Wang Xiu, "Don't hide it from Shuzhi, this government plans to enlighten the Ming Sutra and Ming Calculation two subjects to test talents from all over the school." ”

"Although the Ming Jing is a special department, I have also heard of it. But this is obviously a test? Wang Xiu asked puzzled.

The so-called special subjects are additional subjects in addition to the four major items of filial piety, Maocai, Chalian, and Guanglu. And the Ming Jing is the most common and most important project in the special department. It is said that this department existed as early as the Qin Dynasty. The so-called "classic" refers to the pre-Qin classics, but since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, "classics" specifically refer to Confucian classics. "Ming Jing" means to be proficient in the scriptures. In order to cooperate with the knowledge structure of the Eastern Han scholars, Cai Ji deliberately chose the "Ming Jing" as the main examination content. And "Ming Calculation" is a subject only in the Tang Dynasty, mainly based on the assessment of natural sciences, no wonder Wang Xiu has not heard of it.

So Cai Ji talked to Wang Xiu eloquently, "Ming arithmetic is the main test of "Zhou Ji", "Mojing", "Guanzi", "Nine Chapters of Law", "Sun Tzu", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Mathematics Notes" and other classics. Among them, "Zhou Ji", "Mojing", "Guanzi", "Sun Tzu", "Nine Chapters of Law", each take one, and the five links are passed; "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "Mathematics Notes" each take five articles, and nine out of ten are passed; There are three other answers. ”

After listening to Cai Ji's introduction, Wang Xiu couldn't help but stroke his beard and said, "This is obviously a lot of classics. However, "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "Records of Mathematics" are new books, and many scholars have never seen them. Is it too harsh for the lord to take ten of them, and nine out of ten to pass? ”

"Although "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "Records of Mathematics" are new books, the items included in them are all arithmetic that can be used daily. If the person taking the exam really feels embarrassed, it is a big deal that the government will send a few copies of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "Mathematical Notes" before the exam for him to surprise him. Cai Ji said generously with his hands spread out.

It is said that with the help of Cai Ji, Xu Yue and others have re-edited Liu Hong's "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", no longer just a simple question and answer, but a detailed analysis and calculation of each example problem, and summarized the corresponding calculation formulas and theorems. At present, the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is still composed of nine chapters: Fangtian, Corn, Decay, Shaoguang, Shanggong, Average Loss, Deficit in Profit, Equation and Pythagorean.

"Fang Tian" mainly describes the method of calculating the area of plane geometric figures, the four rules of operation, and the method of finding the greatest common divisor of the numerator and denominator.

"Corn" is to introduce the proportional conversion of cereals, that is, the proportional algorithm;

"Decay", which mainly introduces the method of opening squares and opening squares;

"Shaoguang" is based on the known area and volume, and the length of one side and the length of the diameter;

"Commercial work" includes earth and stone engineering, volume calculation, that is, three-dimensional geometry;

"Equal loss" is a solution to the problem of reasonable apportionment of taxation from the perspective of functions, which includes a whole set of proportional theories including positive and negative proportions, proportional distribution, complex proportions, and chain proportions.

"Insufficient surplus", that is, the problem of double management; Three types of profit and loss problems are proposed, namely, insufficient surplus, sufficient surplus and insufficient surplus, two surplus and two shortfall, as well as some solutions to some general problems that can be hypothesized into surplus and insufficient problems.

"Equations" originally only involved the problem of a system of equations, but with the participation of Cai Ji, a system of quadratic equations is now also described.

"Pythagorean" is a variety of problems solved by using the Pythagorean theorem. The social life issues involved made Cai Ji amazed when he saw it.

Of course, Cai Ji will not be mean enough to directly ask people to open squares, open squares, and solve equations in the first exam. But if you can't even figure out the four arithmetic and plane geometry, you don't need to fish. It can be seen that people like Lin Fei or people like Duan Zhi who like miscellaneous studies have an advantage in the subject of Ming Arithmetic. However, Cai Ji's intention to open the Ming Arithmetic Department is not only to recruit talents who are familiar with natural sciences in this era. At the same time, she hopes that the Department of Mathematics will enable science and engineering talents to enter the bureaucracy and grasp mainstream values, so that people will pay more and more attention to the study of natural sciences.

And just as Cai Ji was thinking about how to combine the power of Ming Arithmetic, Jiangwutang and craftsmen to build a Freemason in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a high-pitched sound of gongs and drums interrupted her thoughts. But seeing all the forty-nine graduates, under the curious gaze of many martial arts students, they were neatly arranged in a phalanx of seven verticals and seven columns on the school field. And each of them wore plain kudzu robes, and their hair was tied only with ribbons. This is not the uniform of the lecture hall, and there is no graduation ceremony in the ancient school, and these students will be assigned to the local government as officials immediately after graduation, so the graduation ceremony of the lecture hall is essentially a large-scale collective coronation ceremony.

In ancient times, men were crowned at the age of 20, indicating adulthood. The crown ceremony is generally performed in the Jongmyo Temple, where the father presides over and the young man who performs the crown ceremony is crowned by a designated dignitary. Although some of the graduates of the lecture hall are under the age of twenty, given that they are about to serve the government like adults, it is not a big deal to be crowned early. Since many of the students in the martial arts hall are orphans or the sons of craftsmen from humble backgrounds, the coronation ceremony was presided over by the elder Huang Zhen, and Cai Ji acted as the elder of the students as the master of the martial arts hall. Guo Jia, Wang Xiu, and Tai Shici crowned the students as VIPs.

There are ten processes in the coronation ceremony, namely the ancestral and the sub-auspicious period; The host is a guest; Dining at the West School; Thorough Banquet; Booga crown seat; Tell the sky; Tell the ancestors; Dongrong washing; Chen Offering Vessels; The celebrant is located on the "hall stage". The first four steps had been completed as early as three days ago, but seeing that Cai Ji was wearing a Xuan crown, court clothes, a tie, and a plain at this time, under the guidance of Huang Zhen, he first respectfully offered sacrifices prepared in advance to heaven and earth and pre-Qin sages. Then Cai Ji gave three concessions to the guests present, Guo Jia, Wang Xiu, and Tai Shici, and asked them to come to the stage to crown the students. After the ceremony, Guo Jia, Wang Xiu, and Tai Shici took the stage and sat down. Huang Zhen immediately sent someone to present the crowning ritual utensils one by one. Immediately after that, the students came to the stage in batches in order of age, and the three of them were crowned three times in turn, that is, they wore three hats in turn. First of all, the cloth crown made of black linen material indicates that from the qualification to participate in politics, it can assume social responsibility; Then, a leather jacket made of white deer skin was added, which was a military hat, indicating that he was required to serve in the military to defend the territory of Sheji; Finally, the plain crown with red and black is a top hat that was common in ancient times, indicating that you can participate in the sacrificial ceremony.

Cai Ji looked at the childish but solemn expressions of the students, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as a parent in his heart. These children were cultivated by her, and they are the saplings she planted with her own hands, and they will carry her knowledge from the next generation to be active in various industries. They represent the future of Dahan

However, just when Cai Ji was excited about the students' adulthood, the corner of her eye swept to see a woman in white standing under a big tree not far away, holding a young son about four years old, biting her lower lip, looking at this side with a complicated expression. And this thin woman is the wife of the county manager, Ning.

To this day, Cai Ji still remembers the scene five years ago when Guan Tong led the Ning family to enjoy the flowers in the garden, like a fairy couple. At that time, she had secretly sighed for the ending of the Ning family in history. However, the arrival of Cai Ji does not seem to have changed the fate of Ning's abandonment. For a long time, the management system has been secretly wooing the bureaucrats of Donglai and Beihai counties for Yuan Tan. This time, Tai Shici suppressed the rebellion in Xiami, Yi'an, and Changguang counties with a thunderous force, which completely wasted the efforts of the management over the years for several years. But this failure did not discourage the management. On the contrary, he chose to resolutely leave his wife and children behind and fled to the plains to seek refuge with Yuan Tan. In this regard, Cai Ji did not send someone to pursue Guan Tong, because she knew very well that the man would never turn back if he did not hit the south wall. At the same time, Cai Ji did not suffer the abandoned Ning mother and son because of the rebellion of the ruler. Instead, a small courtyard was arranged near the lecture hall to house the mother and son. There are also Lu Bu's families who migrated from Xiapi living nearby. Both in terms of environment and security, it is much better than staying in the original administration.

At this moment, Ning looked at these crowned students, and he didn't know whether he was watching the excitement, or whether he was worried about whether his biological father could preside over the crowning ceremony when the children grew up. However, she soon realized that Cai Ji had noticed. So this gentle and virtuous woman immediately hugged and bowed to Cai Ji to show her gratitude. And Cai Ji also bowed slightly to accept the other party's thanks. Because Cai Ji knew that at least under protection, the mother and son would not die at the hands of the rebels as they did in history. And if you are lucky, after the defeat of Yuan Shao's father and son, the Ning family will have a chance to reunite. Of course, the premise is that the commander did not die in the war, or was martyred for the Yuan family with a hot head.

Cai Ji's assumption is naturally based on Cao Cao's victory in the battle between Cao and Yuan. But in the spring of the fourth year of Jian'an, there are not many people who are optimistic about Cao Cao. Yuan Shao currently claims to have led 700,000 troops south, and according to the intelligence sent back by Duan Emei and others, Yuan Shao's real strength is about 110,000 to 120,000. In contrast, Cao Cao's forces were much more humble. Although Cao Cao also claimed to have 100,000 troops, even if he counted the recently recruited troops of Lu Bu, the strength of Cao's army that could really participate in the war was only about 40,000. If we don't talk about the soldiers' suzhì and combat experience, Cai Ji's current troops in Qing and Xu Erzhou can be regarded as being between Cao Cao's and Cao Cao's, with more than 30,000 people. If the two join forces, they will not be inferior to Yuan Shao in terms of military strength. I don't know what Cao Cao will say next.

According to the original history, Yuan Shao would delay the fighter for a while due to the illness of his young son. However, the battle between Cao and Yuan this time was nearly a year earlier than the original history. Judging from Yuan Shao's posture that Yuan Shao is already in Liyang, he shouldn't give Cao Cao too long a respite. So what kind of way will Yuan Shao start the first battle of the southern invasion? Is it to take advantage of the speed advantage of the Jiyou cavalry to surprise attack Xudu? Or do you rely on the large number of people to directly push Yan and Henan Erzhou all the way? Or is it some kind of shocking play?

(╯□╰)~~~ Yesterday at dinner, the uncle at the same table mentioned that his daughter in the fourth grade of primary school had to make up for the class. I took the liberty of asking for a make-up lesson for Mao? As a result, I didn't ask no, but I was shocked when I asked. It turns out that if you want to go to a good school if you want to go to a good school, you need to be recommended by the school to get a place to take the entrance exam for middle school. If you don't recommend it, you have to prepare a "small promotion resume" to go to Mao Sui to recommend yourself. It's like going back to the bird 1,800 years ago~~~
