The spring examination of the school palace was quickly carried out under the auspices of Linghu Shao and Sima Hui. Unlike later exams, there are no so-called fill-in-the-blank multiple-choice questions, only a policy argument.

Moreover, there is not even a specific topic for the policy theory, but it is just a general statement that "national affairs are difficult, and each has its own policy", formulates the topic by itself, and then stipulates three hours, regardless of whether it can be written or not, and the matter is put away in a unified manner.

Fortunately, the sky is beautiful, and it hasn't rained in the past two days, although it is said that sitting on the ground in the open space of the school palace with the sun on the ground, there will be some sunshine, but it's better than rain, okay? Fei Qian can't be like the imperial examination in later generations, and this kind of examination is also a make-up examination, which is all up to personal performance, so there is no need to use some anti-cheating means.

The topic of the policy is simple, but it is not easy to write it in three hours, after all, most of the words are known in many cases, but to grasp these words together in the mind and put them on the pen, it may not be a simple thing for everyone to think.

At the end of the big exam, the students are naturally happy and worried, the school palace is close to the left, and some restaurants and restaurants in Pingyang City are also full of these students, discussing and arguing with each other, driving the lively momentum, which is really not much worse than the New Year's holiday.

But the next thing is the turn of Fei Qian, Ling Hu Shao, and Sima Hui......

As the saying goes, cultural relics are the first and there is no second, and the things above the force are easy to distinguish after all, and the victory or defeat is relatively clear, but the things on the text have their own tastes, some like Xiaobai, and some like the light day, so it is difficult to decide a high.

In terms of rhetoric, some of these students are really not badly written, which is Ling Hu Shao's favorite, so when he finds any gorgeous sentences in an article, he can't help but pick it up and groan, shaking his head and shaking his head very pleasantly.

“…… The sun rises in the east, and the moon sinks in the west. Starlight and two yao, Yao according to Beichen. When the body is dry, to be the right Yikun. Chess is divided into government offices, and bureaus are hundreds of officials. The three princes are unified, and the nine kings are divided. Yu Shi Weigang, Dafu Sutang. It can be the court of the country, and the court of the state can be thoroughly investigated......"

Fei Qian looked at the scroll while listening to Ling Hu Shao's recitation, and couldn't help it, and shook his head.

"Okay, but what's wrong with this?" Sima Hui saw Fei Qian's movements on the side and couldn't help asking.

Linghu Shao on the side also put down the scroll he had just recited, and looked at Fei Qian with some puzzlement.

It's good that I'm here to sit together, otherwise I might have really messed up a crooked building. Fei Qian said with a smile: "It's not that this article is bad, but it's ...... Uncle Kong, can you know that all the size of the text in Pingyang is limited to the size of the ruler? ”

In the early stage of the Pingyang administration, Fiji was also surrounded by a large number of cumbersome and gorgeous words, and then he couldn't stand it, and ordered to emphasize the need to be concise, but the so-called "conciseness" does not have a standard that can be referred to, some people think that ten words are concise, and some people think that a thousand words are also considered concise, so in the end, it is simply directly physically stipulated, but where the text is moved, it is limited to the size of a ruler, and there are more refusals, so as to curb the trend of cumbersome words.

Such a move also promoted the gradual miniaturization of the original Han Lishu from another aspect, and some of them were deformed in the direction of the regular script of later generations, and I don't know if this is another good thing.

Linghu Shao understood and said, "The meaning of the prince and the marquis, but this article is ...... Too cumbersome? ”

Fei Qian nodded and said: "If it's just a selection of articles, it will naturally be beautiful and beautiful...... However, this big competition is a policy on national affairs, if it is generally speaking, what is the benefit of the country? ”

Linghu Shao and Sima Hui glanced at each other and nodded.

Ling Hu Shao put down the scroll in his hand with some regret. Although Ling Hu Shao felt that the volume in his hand was indeed good in terms of text allocation, just like what Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, said, under a large string of gorgeous and colorful words, there were relatively ordinary things......

What is the connection between the sun, moon and stars, the three princes and the nine kings, etc., and the current state affairs? Or what is the solution? What problem was solved?

Sima Hui looked at it and said with a smile: "If you look at national affairs, this big competition, the winner should be ......."

"If that's the case, it's better to have a lack than an abundance......," Fei Qian nodded and said.

It can be said that this time the spring examination of the school palace is also to set a tone for the future, otherwise it will be crooked for the first time, and if you want to get it back, I am afraid that the effort will not be a little bit.

"The so-called state affairs of the world, there are many people who talk about superficial matters, but not measures...... Fei Qian explained while looking at it, "Since it is difficult to talk about national affairs...... If you can say what is difficult, you can be in the middle, and if you can say what you should do, then you are the best, if you say what you think, there is reason and evidence, you can act according to it, and you should be excellent and ......"

Sima Hui laughed: "Okay, when it is, when it is!" It is easy for those who speak, but it is also difficult for those who do...... Talking about things must have solid evidence, and those who chase after the wind and shadows are not the right way after all! ”

Linghu Shao also nodded on the side, stroked his beard and said, "What the general said is very true. When I was in the party, there were often literary meetings, gathering to discuss things, and there should be words to guide the country...... However, now that he is in charge, he finds that his previous remarks are mostly empty and unusable...... Alas......"

"National affairs are difficult, there should be innovation, and when it comes to innovation, there are three ...... of enriching the people, strengthening the army, and taking soldiers," Fei Qian said while spreading out an answer sheet and sweeping it up and down, "However, it is easier said than done...... Taking the rich people as an example, what is rich, how to be rich, how to be rich, all are learning, if it can be said, correct its roots, outline and lead, and elaborate one or two, it can also be regarded as a good work......"

Sima Hui moved his gaze from the answer sheet on the table to Fei Qian, was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Those who don't know it are said to be difficult, and those who know it are difficult to act...... I never thought that the general would be so well-versed in national politics, and it should be the blessing of the Han Dynasty......"

Ling Hu Shao didn't care much at first, and said casually on the side: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, I also sought to recuperate, enrich the country and strengthen the army...... Well...... Well? Ling Hu Shao only reacted at this time, just now he said that he was rich "country" strong soldiers, and Fei Qian said before that he was rich "people" strong soldiers!

The difference between one word and the meaning is naturally very different!

Although most of the time, there is probably a common relationship between the state and the people, but at some point, there are actually some contradictions. The so-called saying that big rivers and big rivers are full of small rivers and small streams to have water, and the reverse is actually correct, small rivers and small streams are not satisfied, how much water will there be in big rivers?

Sima Hui put down the scroll in his hand, stroked his beard, and after thinking about it, he also nodded and said, "Rich country, rich people...... If you say it, it's really simple...... If the people of my dynasty are rich, they are well-funded, there is no sickness and suffering, and there is no chaos of yellow turbans......"

Sima Hui paused slightly, and then said: "I put down the rebellion of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and ruled the country with Huang Lao, so that the people were rich and the national honor was extended...... But now ......"

Sima Hui shook his head and did not continue.

After a while, Linghu Shao picked up a scroll and said, "Hmm...... Here's an article...... It's also interesting...... When it comes to the current politics of our dynasty, it is a disease of strong branches and weak branches, which can be fed by the branches and dried up, and the health maintenance machine can naturally ......be cured."

Fei Qian listened, smiled and nodded: "Well, there is some truth in it, it is really interesting...... Let those who have become strong branches be like the princes of all places, and like us...... Well, there may be some relatives of the emperor and the country, and the nobles from all over the country are arrogant, and they take their money for the imperial court ......"

"Okay, it's really interesting......," Sima Hui also smiled and said, "The spirit of the book is a little heavier, and it is a little unrealistic...... Everything has its own law, how can it be arbitrarily cut off? Just like Zhuang He, spring ploughing and autumn harvest, not getting the right time, what is the benefit? There are weak stems and strong branches, and if you want to cure their drawbacks, you must first have a way...... Otherwise, it will be like the old story of the Seven Kingdoms...... "The Seven Kingdoms are not talking about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but about the Seven Kingdoms of the Han Dynasty."

Fei Qian turned his head to look at Ling Hu Shao and said, "Uncle Kong, can this article mention specific measures?" ”

Ling Hu Shao looked up and down, and finally shook his head and said, "The edict is to eliminate the feudal lord...... Hehe......"

"Let's get it." Fei Qian also shook his head. If the edict is really so effective, believe it or not, the Han Emperor Liu Xie can issue an edict of a hundred baggage trucks in one day?

Sima Hui took a scroll, stroked his beard, and said, "There is another article here...... The evils of commerce are the way of the saints, but they are virtuous, and the people who practice business are selfish and greedy, and they destroy customs, which is really a great harm and ......"

Sima Hui glanced at Fei Qian and continued: "...... When the agriculture is encouraged, the three elders are educated, so that the people are simple and simple, so that the country and the people can ......"

"If it weren't for this big competition, I wouldn't know that the students of the Academy Palace were so biased in the way of the saints...... Fei Qian put down the scroll in his hand and sighed, "The saint values virtue, so the saint doesn't eat?" "It's a Chinese person, it's inevitable that there will be some emotions of being a good teacher, otherwise there won't be so many forum trolls in the future, and Feiqian is naturally no exception, especially in such an environment, it is easier to draw out some sparks of collision of thinking.

"It is understandable that a saint advocates virtue and opposes selfishness and profit." Fei Qian said, "But when the ancient sages were there, their clothes were only kudzu hemp, and their food was only corn. However, now, brocade robes are popular, and Confucius also said that he never gets tired of eating. Of course, it is a courtesy, but also a human desire. ”

Sima Hui nodded, threw the scroll aside, and said, "So, the general wants to implement a policy of valuing business?" ”

"Fei Ye ......" Fei Qian also put down the scroll, shook his head and said, "From the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, under Tao Gong, there are people who have brought disaster to the country and the people, and there are also people who have scattered wealth and wealth. At the beginning of the hundred schools of thought, there was a difference between the rule of virtue and the rule of law, and there were also arguments, but between the two, they were not mutually exclusive, but complementary. The same is true for agribusiness. If there is no agriculture, there is no business, and if there is no business, agriculture will have no source. The reason why the merchants are suppressed is because the flow of merchants is uncertain, it is inconvenient to manage, and they are well-informed, and they keep private slaves, and if they are not careful, they will cause trouble...... Therefore there shall be no men and no farmers, nor shall there be no workers and ......merchants."

Why did Confucianism suppress merchants because merchants ate Confucian rice? Or are Confucians short-sighted and only know how to take care of the present?

Normally, people who can enter the imperial court and play politics are basically not low IQs, and they will not be able to understand the importance of business for hundreds of thousands of years, but the problem is just like what Fei Qian said, the main thing is that businessmen are not easy to manage.

Is it really because money and grain are the heaviest, so agriculture is the most important?

Not.

How good a farmer is, how simple it is, from birth to death, a simple household registration can be done with a single line of words, saving worry and effort, and can collect taxes on time and in accordance with the amount, which is good to scare and coax, and the merchant is completely different, just like Tang Seng does not eat meat, in addition to his personal willpower and Buddhist precepts, there is also a very important reason, that is, he has never eaten meat......

Businessmen go south and north, see a lot, flexible minds, inflexible is naturally not a businessman, plus a lot of money on hand, if the government comes up to cut leeks at every turn, it is inevitable that some ideas will come out, and then things will gradually get out of the control of the imperial government.

Therefore, the Confucian people, in the later period, simply went down with a knife and cut them all. Even if it can't be cut down, if it can't be cut cleanly, the merchant will become a third-class cripple.

"Hmm......" Sima Hui nodded in agreement. After all, in the Han Dynasty, the status of Confucianism had not yet been raised to the sacred altar, and the method of governing the country was still being explored.

"Myoya! Wonderful! Half a sound, Ling Hu Shao suddenly slapped the case and shouted, "This volume should be the first!" First! ”

Before Fei Qian and Sima Hui asked, Ling Hu Shao had already read aloud with the scroll in his hand:

“…… Cover the virtue of the saint, because the beauty is also virtuous; The virtuous and noble are also more than knowing people. Knowing his people, he will be ordered, and Wang Yexing. Therefore, the image of the saint, the words of the gentleman and the villain, the poet of the saint, the cause of the elegant ode, the way of the saint, and the meaning of the five classics and six arts of pregnancy are also ......"

A beginning, but also a regular moment.

But the next content made Fei Qian a little surprised......

“…… Zhongni takes morality, language, literature and politics as the four disciplines, and only in general terms can it be divided into three points, and Gai is the same. Emphasis on moderation to highlight the sainthood, Shang Renzheng to respect human ethics, training to disdain to guard against deviation, thinking often to the use of general materials, in order to get its place. There must be a reason for the safety of people. What people do, there must be a reason. What a man sees, let it be as it is. If the characters are drowned and cannot be mended, will it not be the way of the saints? Only a gentleman complements each other......"

With Linghu Shao's recitation, Fei Qian couldn't help but open his eyes, hey, this is a little interesting......
