"You are all talents selected through the county examination and the general examination, which is the future of my Han and the future of my Zhenbei Army.

The selection and employment of officials in the northern army of our town is based on the merits of talents, not for the high and low of the world, but for officials, who need talents, need virtue, talents, and virtues; Virtuous, handsome, and so on are talented people, so this time I don't test talents, but virtues.

Next, I will talk about a few situations, you have written your answers according to your hearts, are you ready? ”

Ma Qiang briefly said the opening remarks, and then looked at Huang Xu, who clapped his hands and asked people to carry a large scroll with various positions written on them, and unfolded it in front of these people.

"What you see is that all the government departments in a county, from the county guard to the county order yamen, from the health bureau to the education bureau, you write down the official positions you want to get this time, write two, and mark one as an alternative, this is the first question. Time, half a stick! ”

Looking at the half-burnt incense that was lit, Mu and thought about it.

Of course, he also wants to be a county guard, but he knows his own talents, and among these people, the top ten can't be ranked, after all, he is poor and has few books, so instead of competing for the county guard, it is better to compete for the county order.

As for what director, among these official positions, it is the most inferior choice.

"The second question is that there is a farmer in the east of the city, and his wife is dying of illness. There is a Wang doctor in the west of the city, who has studied famous doctors since he was a child, used up the whole family's property, got a body of medical skills, and vowed to use medical skills to make money to compensate his parents who suffered because of their own medical studies, so he asked for a lot of money for treatment, Zhang Nongfu took his wife to Doctor Wang to see a doctor, Doctor Wang said that there is a medicine to treat, but this medicine is extremely rare, it takes 20,000 yuan, in fact, this medicine only needs 2,000 yuan of medicinal materials, but it must be concocted by Doctor Wang with a secret method.

Farmer Zhang borrowed money from everywhere, sold all the fields and houses, got 10,000 yuan, because his wife was dying, went to Dr. Wang for help, asked him to reduce the price, Dr. Wang said that he also spent money to study medicine, if the price is reduced, it will lose money, so he is unwilling to reduce the price of sales.

Farmer Zhang had no choice but to sneak into the pharmacy overnight to steal medicine, may I ask you, is Farmer Zhang's move right? Is it wrong? Write down your thoughts, time, a stick of incense! ”

The students below were stunned.

What is the title of this Nima?

Is it right to say that Farmer Zhang... But after all, this is stealing!

Is it wrong to say that Farmer Zhang... Human life is at stake, and Dr. Wang is too ruthless to ask for money!

Doctor Wang, right... You want money and you are ruthless, 2,000 yuan of medicine, you want 20,000 yuan, your hand is a golden hand.

But to say he's wrong... People spend all their money in order to study medicine, don't buy it if you don't want to, there seems to be no problem with the price marked.

For the first time, these students, who spend most of their time studying or enjoying themselves under the protection of the family, feel that the world is not quite what they imagined.

Right? Wrong? It doesn't seem to be so obvious.

Mu He thought for a while, and finally wrote down the answer according to his own heart, he was born poor and naturally sympathized with the poor, so he felt that Farmer Zhang was excusable, and 10,000 yuan was already five times the amount of medicinal materials, and he only needed to admonish Farmer Zhang.

And Sun Yan, who was sitting diagonally opposite Mu He, was just the opposite of Mu He, he was born in a family, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Dr. Wang at all, don't buy it if you don't have money, why are you weak and reasonable, the law is playing there! What's more, this is a scientific expedition, how can you not speak according to the law? Therefore, he felt that Zhang Nongfu should be sentenced in accordance with the law and compensate Dr. Wang for his losses, but he did not consider that Zhang Nongfu's wife would die because of this.

There are many people dying in this world, if you have to think about it, you can't die of exhaustion when you become an official!

Guan Ning, who was sitting on the side seat, looked at Ma Qiang with a smug face, snorted lightly, and complained to Zheng Xuan on the side, "Gong Zheng, what is the purpose of Duke Ming coming up with such a topic?" Aren't these farmers and Dr. Wang both at fault? ”

Zheng Xuanfu said with a low smile, "Ming Gong governs the government and pays attention to acting according to the law, Farmer Zhang steals and violates the law, and Doctor Wang violates the law?" This question seems to be asking Zhang Nongfu and Doctor Wang, but in fact it is asking how the price of goods is reasonable, and it is difficult for the people to seek medical treatment and borrow money. ”

Guan Ning thought about it, understood, and thanked, "Thank you Zheng Gong for your advice, this is the same as Bingji asking Niu in the past." ”

Guan Ning said that Bingji is the prime minister of Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, often goes out to inspect the people's livelihood, once encountered a pedestrian fight, someone was killed and injured and fell to the ground, but he indifferently continued to move forward, not long away, he saw someone driving the cow to go, the cow was sweating profusely, panting, he hurriedly got out of the car to ask the reason, a look of urgency.

His subordinates were puzzled by this, so they asked him why he valued cattle over people, Bingji explained that he was the prime minister, and things like pedestrian fights were handled by Jing Zhaoyin, and he didn't need to care, but cattle were different, and now it was the time to plow in the spring, but the cattle were so tired, it may be that the climate was abnormal, which was related to the country's farming, and if it was serious, it would even make the world turbulent, and he must be concerned about the prime minister.

This explanation made the world admire his general knowledge, and listed him after Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Wei Xiang, and called him a virtuous minister.

But such things are easy to say, but very few can be done.

At least, among these students, very few can understand a small thing to this extent.

Ma Qiang then asked a few more questions, for example, there was a murder case in your village, and the person who was killed was an old man with great prestige, everyone thought that Wang Er did it and asked to kill him, but you know that Wang Er was not the murderer, because you drank with Wang Er that day, but no one saw it, and everyone suspected that you intended to cover up, claiming to riot and attack the government, what should you do.

These questions seem to be moral dilemma questions, but in fact, you can see more social problems, and there is no standard right or wrong.

Finally, the exam is over.

Ma Qiang announced that he was going to have a luncheon, but he did not attend and went back with the test papers for correction.

At the luncheon, the students looked at the delicacies in front of them, few people had an appetite, the morning exam was simply an ordeal for them, a question that they had never thought of, a situation that they had never seen in books, it seemed that what they were doing was wrong, and many people even fell into the horns of the bull, constantly knocking on their heads, and began to doubt their own talents.

"Ming Gong said, there is no standard answer to these questions, no matter how you deal with it, as long as you have your own reasons, then it is right!"

Jia Xu, as the president of the Political Supervision Yuan, raised his glass and said, "But many of these things that Ming Gong said are really happening, I hope that in the future, when you see these things in your official position, think about the answers you wrote down today, think twice, today, you don't need to think about it, you raise your glass!" ”

Mu Hechang exhaled, followed everyone to raise a glass and drink, and with the faint water and wine in his stomach, the sorrow just now also dissipated a lot.

Yes, when such a thing really appears in front of you, you must think twice, and become an official yourself, not just for the glory of your ancestors!
