This surprisingly young person is Li Goudan, who once had a face-to-face relationship with him on the way to Longhu Mountain.

Daimyo Lee Zhao Eun.

After separating from Zhao Dongting that year, Li Goudan lived with his parents in Maoming County.

With the care of the wealthy businessman Ma, Liu Goudan's family is getting better and better. Later, it coincided with Zhao Dongting's implementation of the imperial examination system and the reform of the university, so he entered the university to study.

This little guy who has never been to school, after entering the school, can be said to have amazed countless teachers.

Zhao Dongting set up a primary school, a junior high school, and a school. Most students either take the imperial examination or go out to work after they graduate from school.

Li Goudan completed all the primary school courses in just two years when he was in elementary school.

Then for another two years, I completed all the courses I took in the school.

At the age of just over ten years, he signed up for the imperial examination.

This caused a sensation in Maoming County at that time.

Some people say that although this kid has some talent, he is too ignorant of the sky. To take the imperial examination at such an age, it must be impossible to be a showman.

However, Li Goudan passed the township test in Maoming County like an earth-shattering one and became the youngest talent in Maoming County.

Even the county magistrate of Maoming County heard his name, and specially received him, and promoted him to the minister who presided over the examination in Gaozhou in the name of the extremely outstanding talent of the county.

Li Goudanren has not yet gone to Gaozhou Mansion to participate in the examination, and his name has spread in Gaozhou Prefecture.

Xiucai, who is just over ten years old.

This has never happened in the entire Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, the public still did not trust him to pass the examination.

At such an age, it must have been a great element of luck to be able to pass the township test. If you can still pass the exam, it will be too smart.

However, Li Goudan once again made those who didn't believe that he could pass the test smacked their tongues.

In this year's Gaozhou examination, Li Goudan not only passed, but also passed with the best results.

He hasn't even been promoted to the academy, let alone a higher university. At the time of the entrance examination, I applied for the economics department.

There are hundreds of students who apply for the economics subject, and he, after the written test and interview, finally ranked fifth.

Many of his expositions and insights in economics even amazed and shamed the old masters who interviewed him.

Economics was a new discipline established by Zhao Dongting, and everyone learned it from scratch. Although these old masters often do research, they also ask themselves, not necessarily better than Li Zhaoen.

Therefore, even though Li Goudan was extremely young, after deliberation, these examiners from Gaozhou still decided to send his name to the imperial city to participate in the palace examination.

Learning is not divided between young and old, and the attainer is the first.

After all, the emperor has never said that students who have not graduated from school cannot participate in the palace examination.

As for whether Li Goudan can be an official at such an age if Li Goudan passes the palace exam, that is not something that they, the Gaozhou examiners, need to think about.

This is up to the emperor.

And the Qin Dynasty is fashionable and has Ganluo twelve-year-old as the appearance!

As all the students entered the examination room one after another, Yuelu Academy suddenly quieted down.

Many examiners were invigilating in the examination room, and the chief examiner, Chen Wenlong, took several senior officials from the DPRK and Central China to make rounds.

Unexpectedly, he asked the dean of Yuelu Academy who was accompanying him, "Dean Luo, I heard that there is a candidate who has just passed the age of ten this year, which examination room is he in?" ”

Dean Luo hurriedly replied: "But there is something to do, this student's name is Li Zhaoen, from Gaozhou, Guangnan West Road, although he is young, but his talent is really good. In the Gaozhou Palace Examination, he was ranked among the top five economics candidates in the Gaozhou Palace Examination. The Undersecretary wants to meet? ”

"Hmm!"

Chen Wenlong nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Our Great Song Dynasty has never produced such a talent, of course this official has to meet him." They are the future of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Vice-Minister Decree, please come with me."

When Dean Luo heard this, he stretched out his hand to lead the way.

The group walked towards the examination room where Li Goudan was.

There was silence in the examination room.

Dozens of candidates are writing books.

Because Yuelu Academy was also full of students in the past, this examination room was still filled with a heavy smell of books.

Chen Wenlong sighed softly: "With these students, when we get old, we don't have to worry about the lack of talents in the DPRK." ”

Dean Luo couldn't help but nod his head beside him.

Before the emperor implemented the new policy of the imperial examination, the Great Song Dynasty, which had been decaying for many years, could only be said to be a miasma.

At that time, it was mostly based on nepotism, and there was even more hereditary replacement, how could there be such a prosperous scene now?

Chen Wenlong walked into the examination room.

He had actually paid attention to Li Goudan before, and now when he walked into the examination room, he quickly discovered Li Goudan.

Li Goudan sat in the front row, burying his head in a book. His immature stature is also quite eye-catching.

Chen Wenlong walked to his side lightly, did not make a sound, only lowered his head and looked at Li Goudan's exam paper.

Li Goudan sensed that there was someone next to him, looked up, and saw that it was Chen Wenlong, he was slightly stunned, then smiled shyly, and lowered his head again.

He was afraid that he didn't know, but his unintentional move made Chen Wenlong sigh in his heart.

Compared with the enthusiastic eyes of the rest of the students, Li Goudan's pure eyes are commendable.

After reading what Li Goudan wrote on the exam paper, Chen Wenlong's eyes couldn't help but show surprise.

This year's exam questions are not from Zhao Dongting, but from him.

The question of economics is what is the root cause of the economic development of the Great Song Dynasty.

Chen Wenlong was in charge of the economy in the DPRK and China, and of course he had some opinions in his heart. Now seeing the content on Li Goudan's exam paper, it is quite similar to what he thinks in his heart.

Li Goudan begins with the fact that the economy of the Great Song Dynasty is based on agriculture and business.

Promoting agriculture can ensure the hunger of all people.

Prospering commerce can make all the people rich.

The foundation of business is work.

……

Chen Wenlong looked down at Li Goudan's exam paper, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.

In the end, his eyes couldn't stop falling on Li Goudan's face.

Even if it is him, it is hard to imagine that such a young child can have such a profound insight into how to develop the economy of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the past, he heard Zhao Dongting talk about the general policy of the Great Song Dynasty's economic development. There are many that have not yet been implemented, but what is written on Li Goudan's exam paper is quite consistent.

Industry.

This is undoubtedly a very new term in this era.

Chen Wenlong only heard Zhao Dongting say it.

There are absolutely very few people in the wilderness who know this word.

However, Li Goudan also wrote on the exam paper that the foundation of business is working, which is enough to show that Li Goudan actually has a slightly vague concept of industry.

only saw the end, but Chen Wenlong sighed lightly in his heart.

Li Goudan's writing is good, and the prosperity of industry can really make the Great Song Dynasty become the empire of the Great Song Dynasty at the fastest speed.

However, the emperor once made it clear to him that he did not want to develop industry.

Industry changes the course of the world.

Chen Wenlong still remembers the extremely complicated look on the emperor's face when he said this.

Yes, Li Goudan's book is right. But in the Great Song Dynasty, it is difficult to achieve.

After that, Chen Wenlong went to look at the examination papers of the other candidates.

has only seen Li Goudan, and there are few students whose intentions can once again make him feel amazing.

Most of the students said that they should focus on business, such as reducing taxes to encourage business, and so on.

None of this has been touched upon at the root.

After a while, Chen Wenlong walked out of this examination room.

Dean Luo and the others were waiting outside the house, and when they saw Chen Wenlong coming out, Dean Luo hurriedly asked, "Deputy State Order, how is it?" ”

Chen Wenlong only nodded slightly, but was silent.

He is the chief examiner, although he is surprised by Li Goudan's talent, but it is inconvenient to express his position now.

After all, Dean Luo is also one of the examiners for grading.

He didn't want his attitude to affect Dean Luo's judgment.

In the past few days, the imperial examination has only ended.

Changsha City is even more lively.

Many candidates who finished the hall exam were finally relieved, some went to the city to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and some stayed in the city and waited for the release of the list.

Li Goudan was accompanied by his father and also rented an inn in Changsha City to live.

He didn't go out to play like many students, and after the exam, he just stayed in the inn and read.

If anyone came into his room, they would be quite surprised.

It's hard to imagine that he has only been in Changsha for a few days, and there are already many books in his room.

The books are still brand new, and they have undoubtedly just been purchased.
