Chapter 128: Exams are not financially important
"Boom... Hum..."
As the fifth bell rang, the largest entrance examination since the opening of Taixue was also the first entrance examination officially began.
Each invigilator in charge of the inspection took out a bamboo basket, which seemed a little abrupt in this kind of place.
And these are all bamboo fish baskets used by fishermen to hold fish, with small mouths and large bellies.
Inside are bamboo slips, and on them are all written by the doctors of the Five Classics for this entrance exam.
The questions are very complicated and huge, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Yuan is not afraid of the questions leaking out, if he can really memorize the answers, he will be able to enter Taixue with this brain capacity alone.
The invigilator quickly asked the candidates to draw five questions each, and there were no repeated questions near an invigilator, so there was no plagiarism.
In less than a cup of tea, all the candidates were assigned the questions.
Such a time gap is nothing, and those exams in later generations will not also be passed from the first row to the last row.
Such a large-scale assessment is the first time in Dahan, and these candidates are also considered pioneers, and it is impossible to say that they are not nervous.
Of course, it is not excluded that those who are full of self-confidence or have strength in themselves, and there are some people who think that they have a strong background, and institutions like Taixue can be entered and studied casually, maybe some people still think that they come to Taixue to study, which is considered an honor to be too learned.
It is not surprising that there has been such a mentality for thousands of years, Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, what human beings can evolve into in 5,000 years, to put it bluntly, nothing has evolved.
Some people in later generations thought that the ancients just did not evolve well, but in fact, the ancients were only backward in knowledge and self-awareness.
Zhang Yuan was a tall man of 1.9 meters before he crossed over, is his genes really better than others, in fact, he just eats well and sleeps well.
After Zhang Yuan implemented the strategy of eating Housthis at sea, all the strong soldiers were able to fight hard with the Huns.
really put people like Sima Qian and Yan Yi into modern times from the age of one or two years, so maybe they are also talents.
Thinking about it, Zhang Yuan looked at Sima Qian with strange eyes.
Sima Qian felt Zhang Yuan's eyes, and trembled, feeling that Zhang Yuan regretted it and wanted to teach himself a lesson.
But soon Zhang Yuan withdrew his gaze, and Sima Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
There are many candidates in the square who can pick up the pen and start answering on the bamboo slips after getting the questions, but some of them are frowning and can't write for a long time.
When people concentrate or wander away, time flies very quickly.
Soon an hour passed, the bell rang again, and most of the candidates looked up at the sun above their heads, and the pressure was even greater.
Those candidates who have been unable to answer have also begun to write and draw on bamboo slips.
Handing in a blank paper and writing a bunch of wrong answers are two different concepts.
An attitude question can determine the examiner's first impression of a candidate.
Taixue's exam is replaced by the next generation, that is, liberal arts, and there are no multiple-choice questions or fill-in-the-blank questions at this time.
Other words.
The answer is not the only one!
There's a lot of room for manipulation here, and a fool wouldn't come to such a place.
The possibility of handing in the blank paper Zhang Yuan didn't dare to pack the ticket and said no, but there is one that must let you roll one, no matter what your special background is.
Now Liu Che doesn't have a son, and if he has a son, he won't be sent to Taixue, Zhang Yuan has the confidence to say this.
What's more, it doesn't matter if you have a son, it's not that Zhang Yuan doesn't know what the consequences of this prince are, of course, if it's possible, Zhang Yuan doesn't want to see such an unjust case happen again.
What Zhang Yuan has to do is only to be loyal to Liu Che, not to his son, smart people will do this, and those fools will directly throw themselves into the arms of the princes when the emperor is strong.
At noon, there was no chaos in the square, and Zhang Yuan's patience was exhausted.
took Sima Qian and Yan Yi down from Tianlu Pavilion, and went back to the mansion directly to eat.
Of course, this is what Zhang Yuan did, and the other invigilators and the chief examiners of Wuqiu Shouwang did not go to eat.
They treat the entrance exam as a sensational event, and not eating a meal will not affect their health.
Fortunately, the entrance exam is held in the spring, which is cooler and lukewarm.
Heat stroke does not occur when you are exposed to the sun for a long time, and Taixue did not prepare a meal, but prepared a water source for drinking.
The sun began to slowly shift overhead to the west, and it wasn't long before the bells rang again.
When the test takers heard this, they sped up their answers, and once the bell rang again, the exam was over.
"Boom... Hum..."
The bell announcing the end of the exam was unmanned, and the candidates waited for a long time, and before they knew it, time passed.
More than a hundred invigilators shouted loudly.
"At the end of the exam, all candidates stop answering and stand on the left side of the desk, waiting for the invigilator to collect the exam papers!"
Some people are unwilling to write more, and the palace guards borrowed by Zhang Yuan came in handy at this time, and there were not a few candidates who were set up by the palace guards.
There are also people who honestly put down the brush in their hands, stand respectfully on the side of the desk, and wait for the invigilator to collect the papers.
Basically, each invigilator carried more than ten rolls of bamboo slips in his arms, which was not light, and all the bamboo slips were sent to the side hall on the left side of the square, waiting for the lecturers to go to mark the papers.
Seeing that all the bamboo slips had been sent away, King Wuqiu Shou stood up and walked to the high platform so that all the candidates could see him.
Kong Anguo and Lu Bushu also hurriedly followed, this is a good opportunity to show their faces, so that the candidates can see themselves, and in the future, they may be able to receive a lot of students by virtue of their familiarity.
"Students, the entrance exam held by Taixue today is over, and the students need to wait for another seven days in Du County.
The list of those who will not be on the list after seven days will be posted in the four city gates, and if your name is not on the list, then I would like to congratulate you on entering Taixue and becoming a Taixue student.
If there are your names on the list, I would like to say sorry to those students who failed to make the list, it may not be that you can't do it, but it is just that it is not too suitable for you.
If you want to serve the Han, there are many other ways, such as joining the army and so on.
Everyone, please come back now! ”
After speaking, King Wuqiu Shou turned his head and left, and Kong Anguo and Lu Bushu did not stop long.
Only those who have been admitted to the imperial examination can be included in the list, which saves face for those students who fail to make the list to the greatest extent, but that is also because the number of people who fail is too much, and there are too few people who can be promoted or even promoted to the Jinshi.
Of the more than 4,000 Taixue candidates, at most one-tenth of them will be brushed off, and two out of ten of them will die if they are a little wasted.
That's a record of the list of students who have been admitted, isn't it just to add workload?
More than 3,000 names or even more than 4,000 names are a waste of paper.
If you meet someone with the same name, Zhang Yuan is not afraid, and he plans to add his or her nationality to each candidate, if the same nationality still has the same name, you can come directly to Taixue to ask.
This is convenient, Zhang Yuan is still willing to give it to these people.
The seven-day waiting period can directly or indirectly contribute to the prosperity of Du County.
If those candidates and Taixue officials knew that Zhang Yuan's biggest purpose was not to recruit students, but to make Du County more prosperous, I don't know what they would think in their hearts.
Zhang Yuan sometimes often wonders, does the Han military need him?
It is actually enough to have Wei Qing and Huo Quai.
He has already contributed the most to agriculture, no matter where he is, if he really wants to grow potatoes, what kind of soil can be planted alive, and survival is not a problem.
Educating him is doing it now, although he didn't put all his mind into it, but he also divided a large part of his energy.
As for the economy...
To say something embarrassed and even scolded, Zhang Yuan felt that the Han at this time did not have the economy.
The currency is still in chaos, what kind of economy is it talking about?
This kind of economy that stays at the level of self-sufficiency is what Zhang Yuan wants to really change.
Commercial exchanges are still too scarce and unequal.
The common people were able to exchange for wealthy landlords who owned large grain fields.
As a result, many peasants were heavily indebted and forced to become long-term laborers or tenants of the landlord class.
Later, in order to prevent businessmen from continuing to grow, to put it bluntly, Liu Che had no money, and when he saw that businessmen were making money, he directly engaged in the state monopoly policy, which is often referred to as the 'salt and iron order'.
Is this good for economic development, to put it bluntly, it is not good at all.
Sang Hongyang is just an official who makes money for the emperor, and he really is nothing.
What Zhang Yuan wanted was to take Du County as a pilot project, and then see if he could revitalize the economy of a region first, so that a commodity economy could appear, and then slowly promote it to other cities.
Let Liu Che discover that after the economy is revitalized, resources begin to circulate, and the country can receive more taxes, so that the difficulties arising from long-term wars in the future may naturally not exist.
This is perhaps the most important point in the short term compared to education.
So when everyone was paying attention to the effect of the entrance exam and the results of the candidates, Zhang Yuan had been observing various places in Du County with Yan Yi and Sima Qian in the past seven days.
Observe whether the changes caused by the increase in the foreign population will feel abrupt, and how many people will choose a place where the students do not need to live after the results come out, and whether they will continue to persevere.
This kind of thing must be done by Zhang Yuan himself now, and if you go to tell the officials of Taixue about this kind of thing of market assessment and investigation, it is likely that they will not understand, and the answers of the more than 4,000 candidates will make Taixue have no extra labor.
