[PS: The Ministry of Water is the internal department of the Ministry of Industry, which is in charge of navigation administration and water conservancy. 】

After walking in from outside the door, Fang Hong arched his hand to the three of them and said, "I'm tired of the three colleagues." ”

Most of the examiners of this state examination are drawn from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and they may be able to distinguish the candidates' literary style, but to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the policy theory and determine the priority, it is still up to these three co-examiners.

Ling Yihong, who was in charge of reviewing the second section on epidemic control, arched his hand and said, "Master Fang is polite about the matter. ”

Jingdong Road sentenced Song Qian and Fang Hong have been close friends for many years, but they were not so polite with him, nodded slightly, and picked up a stack of exam papers.

Fang Hong looked at Zhang Hao of the Ministry of Water and said, "This policy about controlling the flood is troublesome to Zhang Langzhong. ”

Zhang Hao waved his hand expressionlessly and said, "No need, it's just some sycophant articles, what's so good, can you really expect them to control the water?" ”

Fang Hong was a little helpless, the Ministry of Water sent Zhang Hao over this time, and he knew that something would happen.

This Zhang Langzhong, although his official position is not high, has real skills in building water conservancy and controlling floods, but he is too arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, and his temper is stubborn and hard, and he is extremely dissatisfied with the current situation of the imperial court's policy in recent years.

Zhang Hao believes that in recent years, the policy theory of the imperial examination has long lost the original intention of the policy theory, and too much attention has been paid to the article itself, but the most important "policy" has been neglected.

Although these problems in the scientific examination exist, Fang Hong believes that they are not as serious as Zhang Hao said, and shook his head and said: "Zhang Langzhong's words are bad, the candidates' knowledge and knowledge are uneven, and they may not all be as ...... as you said."

He took two test papers from the table and said, "These two are excellent works of this year's strategy, Zhang Langzhong will take a look." ”

Although Zhang Hao didn't think that these candidates could come up with any useful strategies, he also knew that Fang Hong was not only the main examiner, but also the servant of the ministry, and he still had to give a little more face.

He took the two test papers, and after looking at them, his face softened slightly, but he still shook his head and said: "It's just repeating the things of the predecessors, it seems that the head is the way, but in fact it is useless, and it is extremely weak." ”

Fang Hong shook his head and said, "Most of the candidates for the state examination are young students, and Master Zhang can't compare them to the officials of the Ministry of Water. ”

Zhang Hao finally took a step back, sat at his own table, and gave in.

After all, this is a state test, and the stakes are very high, even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he must obey the arrangement of the imperial court.

After he sat down, he picked up a blank piece of paper, and if he really came across any excellent strategy, he could record it.

Although this may be almost none.

He looked at an examiner beside him and asked, "This colleague, do you have any papers there?" ”

The paper is the test paper that he was not admitted, and he needs a few cushions on the table.

Wang Shuo nodded, and handed over the few points of the papers that had just been reviewed, including the "bullshit" exam paper.

"Thank you!"

Zhang Hao arched his hand, took the test paper, put it on the table, and swept his eyes inadvertently, seeing a few words on the top exam paper.

“…… Beneficial to flood control and speed up shipping ......"

Zhang Hao's expression was stunned, and he couldn't help but sit up straight.

The responsibility of the Ministry of Water is not only to build water conservancy, but also to prevent and control floods, ship shipping, and fishing and transportation.

A few months ago, the imperial court had already issued an order to the Ministry of Industry on the flood control and shipping of the Jingjiang River, and Lord Shangshu did not know how to control the water.

During this period, he read countless classics, made several field trips, but did not come up with a good method, and just returned to Beijing this time, he was transferred to Lingzhou as an assistant examiner.

The words flood control and shipping, once they appeared in his eyes, could no longer be ignored.

He picked it up and looked at it.

There is no mention of Dayu's water control, nor does it praise the achievements of the imperial court in water control over the years, and the straightforward list of ......, dredging, plugging and strengthening the trunk, source management, and reducing the source of sediment......

Zhang Hao didn't miss a word, because of this policy, this person didn't write a word of nonsense at all, this is the real "strategy"!

This is a different kind of examination paper, the Ministry of Water over the years, in order to control the water, has made a lot of efforts, they have not blindly according to the ancient experience of water control, but also made a lot of innovation.

Over the years, they have stumbled all the way, come up with a lot of new water control strategies, and after spending a lot of manpower and material resources to carry out experiments, they found that each method has advantages and disadvantages, and each method needs to be adapted to local conditions and comprehensively considered.

They have paid too much to get to these conclusions.

Now, these conclusions are clearly lying on the paper in front of him.

The Ministry of Water will not publish these things, because just before he leaves the capital, there is still a lot of controversy within the Ministry of Water about these conclusions.

At the end of this argument, an example is given.

What measures should be taken regarding flood prevention and navigation in a certain section of the Jingjiang River?

This is a word that Zhang Hao has never heard, "cut the bend and straighten it".

The examination paper wrote in detail the advantages and disadvantages of cutting and straightening, and Zhang Hao was overjoyed, as long as it can effectively prevent floods and improve shipping, these disadvantages are acceptable......

But there is so much written on the paper, but it does not say what "cutting and straightening" is.

Flood control and shipping problems in a certain section of the Jingjiang River have plagued Zhang Hao for months, and he is looking at it, like a dazzling light suddenly shooting out of the darkness for several months, making him hazy and vague, this light disappears again.

"How can it be!"

He was already prone to anger, and a nameless fire rose in his heart, and he slapped the table fiercely and stood up suddenly.

Fang Hong was at the table in front of him, reviewing the exam papers recommended by the examiners, when the strange noise from behind him startled him, turned his head, and asked in surprise: "Zhang Shilang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhang Hao's anger did not subside, pointed to the exam paper, and said repeatedly: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable!" ”

Wang Shuo, who was beside him, saw him pointing to the scroll and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang also thinks that this person's writing is really bullshit?" ”

Zhang Hao looked at him, glared and said, "What did you say!" ”

Wang Shuo was taken aback by him, stood up, and said in surprise: "This person's article is written in no order, it can be described as bullshit......"

"You know!" Zhang Hao had a straight temper, even in the court, he didn't give in, pointed at Wang Shuo, and said loudly: "If what he writes is not bullshit, others will not even be as good as bullshit, let me tell you, all the exam papers here add up, and they are not as good as him!" ”

Wang Shuo was also provoked, and said angrily: "This person's article has no rules, and there is a vernacular in the strategy, and a random exam paper here is a hundred times stronger than him!" ”

"Rules?" Zhang Hao looked at him and sneered: "The chapter you are talking about is a chicken rib article from beginning to end, which only knows flattery and is full of empty words? ”

"Isn't this person full of empty words?" Wang Shuo snorted coldly, looked at Ling Yihong, and clenched his fists and said, "Lord Ling might as well take a look at what he wrote in this second policy treatise?" ”

Wang Shuo remembered clearly that the second policy asked how to prevent the epidemic, and he actually answered that drinking more hot water, if drinking water can cure diseases, what is the use of asking for doctors in the world!

Ling Yihong took the exam paper and looked at the second way of the strategy.

This is a long time.

Wang Shuo couldn't wait, looked at him and asked, "Lord Ling, how is it?" ”

Ling Yihong was curious in his heart about how this handwriting looked so familiar, nodded when he heard the words, and said, "This person's article is indeed out of order. ”

Zhang Hao's face sank, and a smile appeared on Wang Shuo's face.

Ling Yihong put down the exam papers and said: "But if you don't care about the article, just look at the policy theory, how to prevent the epidemic, how to control the epidemic, all the exam papers that this official has read add up, and they can't match this one." ”

The smile on Wang Shuo's face froze.
