Chapter 169: The First Examination of the Imperial Merchants (Part II)
"This question seems simple, but I'm afraid there is a deep meaning in it, right?" The Emperor continued to ask the third question.
Lu Jing complimented: "The emperor has seen thousands of miles, it is exactly like this, the volt line of this question is still time, if it is within twenty days, choose one suitable, and choose three suitable for more than twenty days." ”
"Of course, option one, you can get more silver in the early stage, and you can continue to use it to make money, if someone can write this point and justify it, it can be regarded as the correct answer!"
"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it, and there are many people who can answer these questions!" Emperor Taishang said with a smile, and at this moment, he began to face up to this imperial business selection.
Then he looked at the fourth question and said with a smile: "This question is interesting, the shopkeeper of the tooth shop used the money he hadn't earned yet, paid off the debt, and finally turned around, and the silver returned to his hands, hehe, if it didn't return to his hands, how should he deal with himself?" ”
"If that were the case, he would have tried his best to convince the merchant to rent a house!" Lu Jing replied.
The Emperor nodded and said, "This is reasonable, what is the meaning of this question?" ”
Lu Jing said with a solemn expression: "The main reason for this question is to let them analyze the source of wealth and the circulation of money, if there is no circulation of those five taels of silver, the shopkeeper of the tooth shop, the butcher and others are all in debt, and with the circulation of money, each of them will pay off their debts." ”
"If wealth is stored, it may depreciate with the rise of prices, or it may appreciate with the fall of prices, but in either case, it is not beneficial to economic development, only when money circulates can it generate more value and promote economic development."
"As the saying goes, there is no stability without farming, no work is not rich, no business is not living, and businessmen go south and north, which is the key link in the circulation of this money."
The Emperor Taishang said thoughtfully: "The country is based on agriculture, business is the end, it should be heavy, and the end is not light, there are businessmen who can do what they have learned, and learn to be refined, agriculture can be planted through it, and the plant is prosperous, and the work can be sold for what it does, and it is good to be diligent, if there is agriculture in the world but there is no business, can it still be for the country?" ”
"The ingenuity of your question, if it is slightly extended, even if it is used as a palace test strategy, it is not an exaggeration!" The Emperor praised and became more and more interested in the next topic.
Lu Jing hurriedly complimented: "Wei Chen didn't think of this when he came up with the question, but now after listening to the emperor's words, he suddenly felt like an enlightenment, thinking of this, the emperor has deep insights, and Wei Chen is not as good as just in case!" ”
"Hahahaha!" The Emperor Taishang laughed and said, this sound comfortable, and he was even more satisfied with Lu Jing.
Dai Quan stood aside, watching the Emperor Taishang and Lu Jing talk with great interest, and had always been happy, but now he was laughing heartily, and he was suddenly impressed by Lu Jing in his heart, and secretly regarded Lu Jing as a person to befriend.
Huang Yongzhong was also busy complimenting the emperor, and secretly decided in his heart that he would have a better attitude towards Lu Jing next.
After laughing for a while, the Emperor commented on the fifth question: "There is nothing to say about this question, this person wants to live in strange goods, but unfortunately he is greedy." ”
"The wise weigh the benefits and disadvantages, the brave make a decision, the benevolent take the trade-offs, and the strong know how to make trade-offs, although they have wisdom and bravery, but they lack benevolence and strength."
Lu Jing replied: "The emperor's words are incisive, and he explains the original intention of Weichen in this question. ”
"Huh!" The Emperor Taishang smiled and said: "That's right, I am deeply satisfied, this reward for you!" ”
said that he gave Lu Jing a jade pendant hanging on his body, and felt that Lu Jing was extremely interesting.
After Lu Jing took it, he hurriedly thanked him: "Weichen, thank you for the emperor's reward!" ”
"Get up!" Emperor Taishang smiled, and then looked at the sixth question, but his expression was a little serious after reading it, and he thought of the officialdom of the court from businessmen selling medicine.
Those who are honest and upright are not from Shangguan, they are poor all their lives, and everyone laughs at them; Those who choose the opportunity to grab, people do not worry about their taking, but call them virtuous; Take everything, and those who are in charge of the official will not stay for three years or be promoted.
But these officialdom shortcomings can't be tampered with, and they can't be changed overnight, I feel a little emotional, I hope my son can do better than himself!
After sighing for a while, the Emperor Taishang skipped the sixth question and asked the seventh question: "This question is to promote narrowness, sell the comb to the monk, you can think of it, you are not afraid that Master Zhiyuan of Renji Temple will trouble you?" ”
Lu Jing said with a smile: "It's just the name of Renji Temple, this question is mainly to test whether they can break the stereotyped thinking, the comb can not only be used to comb the hair, but also to settle the feelings, but also to comb away the troubles." ”
"Those who go to the temple to offer incense to make a wish, a young lady who asks for marriage, and a person who wants peace of mind or peace, if someone can propose to Master Zhiyuan to make a comb into a marriage comb, or a merit comb, a peace comb, a good comb, etc., in terms of the temple, you can help the pilgrims repay their vows, and it is also a way of wealth."
"Yes, yes, you have a wonderful idea, I will talk to Master Zhiyuan about this matter in a few days, and I can't let others take the lead!" The Emperor praised him.
Then he said to Dai Quan: "You remember to remind me of this!" ”
Dai Quan nodded with a smile.
The Emperor continued to look at the eighth question and asked, "Presumably, this question is the same as the previous question, you need to have some whimsical ideas, tell your thoughts, and let me have a long insight." ”
"The emperor praises falsely, and the micro-ministers dare not be, according to what the micro-ministers think, the teacher, the effect, the upper for it, the lower effect, the people have simplicity, not taught, if it is guided from the top, the ruler of the island takes the lead in wearing shoes, and it will inevitably go up and down." Lu Jing said.
"Makes sense!" The Emperor Taishang groaned, and then said with some emotion: "The upward and downward effects are also difficult for the monarch, and the movement and static measures must not be careless, and the form must be formed in the middle, and everyone knows it, and everyone follows it." ”
Lu Jing saw that the emperor had a little lament on his face, and he was a little silent in his heart, although he was helpless as the emperor, he was much better than ordinary people.
Seeing this, Huang Yongzhong hurriedly comforted: "The emperor once said, 'Mortals should be cautious in self-cultivation and self-cultivation. When I was in the summer of June, I didn't need a fan, I didn't remove the crown, and I didn't indulge myself on weekdays. 'The emperor cultivates his self-cultivation and governs his nature, and he is careful about the prime day, and the saint of the ages! ”
The Emperor Taishang waved his hand and didn't want to talk about this matter, so he looked at the ninth question: "I'm afraid this question is true if it is false, and it is false, if the Zhang family publicizes the plan with great fanfare, the Li family may not believe it." ”
"Or use the Li family's eyeliner to convey some wrong information, or make the Li family suspicious of the eyeliner."
"The emperor is wise, there is no fixed answer to this question, it depends on which of them can answer more brilliantly, and the strategy they think of has to be broken by themselves." Lu Jing explained that the Emperor Taishang deserved to be a master of power and strategy, and although he had not finished his words, he had already said a lot of killing moves.
The Emperor nodded and didn't say too much, and then looked at the tenth question:
"Explain the experience of failing in business for the first time, what it was like, and what were the gains?"
"If there is no case of failure, you can not answer."
After reading the question, he asked, "I heard that if you have a successful experience on the registration form, why do you write about the failure here?" ”
Lu Jing replied: "The edge of the sword is sharpened, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, sometimes failure is the most impressive, especially the first failure, the feeling should be deeper!" ”
Emperor Taishang nodded and looked at the eleventh question: "The principal is one hundred taels of silver, how to make money quickly?" ”
Feeling that there was nothing to ask about this, he looked at the last question: "If you were on a boat alone and there was a hole in the bottom of the boat, how would you solve it?" ”
After reading it, he asked: "This is somewhat interesting, what is the purpose of this question?" ”
Lu Jing replied: "This question is to examine how they can save themselves when they are in danger, and second, to examine their mentality of doing business. ”
"If it only drains water outward, it means that this person is doing things at the end of the day, hoping for luck, and only caring about the immediate crisis, rather than solving the problem fundamentally."
"If you take off your clothes and fill the hole to save yourself, it means that this person can grasp the root and identify the goal."
"If you ask others for help, it means that this person is good at taking advantage of the situation and is proficient in the way of survival, but sometimes he is too dependent on others, but it will be difficult to get out, and even become a vassal."
"If you jump ship directly to escape, it means that this person is extremely timid, can't withstand a little wind and waves, and is not suitable for business."
"According to their different answers, you can roughly understand their hearts and see their nature."
The Emperor nodded and said, "If you were faced with this situation, what would you do?" ”
Lu Jing replied: "Look at the size of the hole, if it can be remedied, it is natural to remedy, if there is a boat around, ask for help, and respond flexibly according to the specific situation." ”
"Hehe, you're clever!" The Emperor said with a smile.
Then the two chatted a few more words, and the Emperor Taishang said: "You are very good, you are young, you are talented, and you know how to advance and retreat, and the future is promising!" ”
"Thank you for the emperor's words, Weichen should work hard to serve the court!" Lu Jing hurriedly bowed.
"Well, I'm very happy today, if I have time one day, I'll talk to you again!" Emperor Taishang said with a smile, feeling that chatting with Lu Jing was very fateful.
"It is a privilege for a minister to be called!" Lu Jing replied.
"That's all for today!" After the Emperor Taishang finished speaking, he beckoned Dai Quan and the others to drive back to the palace.
After the Emperor Taishang left, Lu Jing recalled the content of the conversation just now, and he could deal with it quite well, and then put away the jade pendant given by the Emperor Taishang, this jade pendant may come in handy at some point.
Then I went around the various examination rooms and saw that many people had handed in their papers, and many seats were empty.
After the end of the day, there are still a very small number of businessmen who have been struggling in their seats, some trying to improve, and some writing too slowly.
The invigilator didn't urge, even if they answered until tomorrow, it didn't matter, anyway, before the results came out, they wouldn't be able to leave the Huangzhuang.
Most of the businessmen who left the examination room did not leave, but gathered together in threes, fives, and fives to discuss today's test questions and tell each other their answers.
For some questions with more definite answers, those who knew they had answered them incorrectly suddenly beat their chests and felt deep remorse.
No one can convince anyone with the answers to some questions, so they can only wait for the results to be announced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
But in any case, everyone has a very high evaluation of these topics, and they do not examine the big truths in the book, but are very close to their lives, and the assessment is also the means of doing business, and everyone relies on their talents.
The women left the examination room without much conversation, and then left with their families.
Aunt Xue has revealed her identity since she heard that the Xia family is also an imperial businessman, and has been talking to Xia Jingui's mother.
Xue Baochai Youzheng left the Huangzhuang around three o'clock, his face was a little tired, thinking that Lu Jing should be in the Huangzhuang at the moment, he glanced at it nostalgically, and then returned to Jia's house with Aunt Xue and Xue Pan.
Halfway through the hour, most of the merchants outside the Huangzhuang were scattered and returned to the city.
The last remaining people all handed in their papers before the hour.
After the secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs collected all the test papers, Lu Jing ordered people to seal the test papers first, and then seal them by region.
Immediately gather everyone together and explain the grading criteria to them, each question is 100 points, and the score is flexibly according to the answers.
Lu Jing divided the 360 markers into 12 teams, a team of 30 people, and each team was divided into 10 groups and a group of 3 people.
Each team will only be evaluated for one question, and the team that will evaluate the first question will only be evaluated for the first question, and each test paper must be reviewed by three people in the same group, and the final score will be the average score of the three people.
At the same time, they were warned that if they were not sure, they could come to ask themselves, in order to reduce errors, the first night, was the test evaluation, and Lu Jing would randomly select the test papers they judged to explain.
The evaluated test papers will be randomly checked, and if the lottery fails, the whole group will be punished.
After a busy night, basically letting everyone figure out the scoring criteria, Lu Jing began to mark the test papers with many marking tubes.
In order to show solemnity, the Huangzhuang has been banned, and everyone can't go out unless the results come out.
