Chapter 32 Talents are rare

The question is how to enrich the country and strengthen the army, which is also an old topic, and the Great Wei Examination is a small question, mainly to see the student's mastery of the way of Confucius and Mencius, and to talk about memorization and play in the framework.

The policy question is nothing more than to ask the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army, the left minister Han Zhong, is the policy of the "three redundancy" when the policy is asked, the policy is out, the world is in an uproar, people say that it is a hundred years without a genius, and then Han Zhong has been staying in Beijing, starting from the history of the seven products, and then edited by Hanlin, and then for the Ministry of Officials, Hanlin Bachelor, and then for the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, and then the Ministry of Rites and the Governor of the Ministry of Affairs, and then for the Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Ling, is for the left minister.

A strategy and a swaying forward is also the lifelong dream of many readers, so in addition to working small topics, the most articles are all kinds of strategies.

However, if you do a lot of strategy, it is still a formality, and most of them figure out the government and politics, feel the direction of the court, and then use the topic to play.

Because most of the Confucian scholars answered the questions in this way during the exam, it was almost impossible to find the way to govern the country in the policy theory.

As for the law, there are really not many people who can answer it, unless it is a person who has always been a willing official and often reads the law, in addition, there are not many people who know the law and can simulate the case to deal with it.

Arithmetic is also considered a serious study in the Great Wei, relying on Taizu to include the Ming arithmetic subject in the imperial examination, arithmetic has the same jinshi, and most of them are in the transfer of the yamen and the household department, the Ministry of Industry, as well as the local prefectures and counties to serve as Si Cao to join the army, Si Hu to join the army, the account, the accounting officer in the Confucian official, the warehouse officer and so on.

This is also the need for actual talents, so there are a lot of folk arithmetic, even if they can't get into the Jinshi, the folk business is developed, and the number of talents who need to be skilled in arithmetic is also very large, at least they can mix a bowl of rice to eat, not like the Confucian students of Jingyi, who can't get into the test to raise people to Jinshi, they can only waste their lives.

Xu Zixian sat in the screen of the north hall, and after someone finished writing the scroll, Li Yi and others showed it to him.

In terms of arithmetic, it is mainly from the books "Enlightenment of Arithmetic" and "Measuring the Circle Sea Mirror" and "Yigu Deep Section".

In terms of Xu Zixian's mathematical level, it is not difficult to read these books and understand them, Dawei's arithmetic enlightenment is regarded as an introduction to basic knowledge, the rounding sea mirror is mainly geometric, and the Yigu deep section is mainly based on equations.

In terms of the development of mathematics, as well as the overseas mathematical knowledge brought by the Semu merchants, the development of arithmetic in the Great Wei Dynasty is quite good, mainly because of the development of maritime trade and industry and commerce, and the need for a large number of arithmetic talents.

Arithmetic papers, Xu Zi first read a few and handed them to Kong He, whether they are qualified or not, Kong He will judge.

Xu Zi first focused on whether the logic was self-consistent, if he was full of nonsense, only caring about the beauty of the article, and had no logical ability, then no matter how good the article was, it would be useless.

He looked at more than a dozen scrolls, and they all felt lackluster...... This is no wonder, you must know that most of the Confucian students who are interested in making progress will continue to take the exam, take the pure path of origin, Hou Fu recommends, when mentioning the resume in the future, it will be felt that people have taken a shortcut, the real talent, the students who have confidence in themselves, most of them will not come to the Hou Mansion to take the exam.

Xu Zixian didn't expect to get any clever talents by such means, but he hoped that there would be talents available in the near future, but he was disappointed by the increasing number of scrolls.

There is only one volume signed by Chen Daojian, which surprised Xu Zixian, the narrative is well-organized, the handwriting is gorgeous, and it is not deliberately gorgeous, but it is easy to do, which shows that the foundation laid by ordinary practice is extremely solid, and such people are generally extremely smart and self-disciplined.

There are many smart readers and many self-disciplined people, but there are very few people who are both smart and self-disciplined.

Strategy, arithmetic, and laws, Chen Daojian's answers are quite brilliant, and the level is not below the old Confucian.

Chen Daojian's strategy was not long, and he did not directly propose to help the displaced people return to their hometowns, but said that the government should make use of the tens of thousands of displaced people on both sides of the Min River, including Fuzhou and Jianzhou, as well as the Xinghua Army and Shao Wujun, and use them for relief through work, and could not let them go unchecked and gradually digested and utilized by the immigrants......

Although he still felt a little immature, Xu Zixian still felt a little surprised, after all, there are things to say, not to talk in generalities.

As for arithmetic and law, Chen Daojian also did a very good job.

Xu Zi first handed the three volumes to Li Yi and said with a smile: "There are talents this time." ”

"Not bad, not bad." Li Yi also praised it greatly, and said with a smile: "Chen Daojian, sixteen years old, judging from his appearance, his parents have died, presumably because his family is in a bad situation, so he has to come out to take the exam." Congratulations to the son, you have a real talent. ”

Xu Zixian nodded with a smile, he thought about Chen Daojian in his mind, and he didn't seem to be too impressed, according to his age and family background, maybe this person could only be admitted to the Jinshi as an official after many years, and he didn't even have a Jinshi.

There are many talented people in the world, and their life circumstances are different, Chen Daojian should have been depressed all his life in Xu Zixian's previous life, or he only emerged after Xu Zixian's death.

"Words can be made for this person." Xu Zixian groaned: "But first ask him to follow Kong Xuanping, do some practical things, and see his character, sixteen years old, too young." ”

The people next to him were all smiling, Kong He also shook his head and smiled, Xu Zixian often asked people to ignore his age, and sometimes it reminded people that the son in front of him was not yet twenty years old, and he was too young.

Kong He has recently been investigating the natural villages formed near various official villages, to see how many hidden households there are, this thing is quite secretive, and it requires a lot of manpower, but it should not be too much, it is necessary to have the ability, but also to be able to keep secrets, and to have integrity, this matter is just the touchstone for newcomers, and it is suitable for what to do, and it can be seen from this one thing.

After a while, the list was decided, Xu Zixian personally went out to meet everyone, leaving a total of seven people, all of whom were given the name of serving in front of the Hou Mansion.

Xu Zixian said that at this time it is the probation period, and he will be given one stone of grain and consistent money every month, and after passing the probation period, he will be given three times a month, as well as additional benefits such as firewood salary, and the grain is still one stone, which is the same as the conditions promised before.

The probationary period of three months made everyone in front of them a little surprised, and of course a little dissatisfied.

But after thinking about it, it seems to be quite reasonable, the same is true for the errand in the yamen, those who do not conform to the revolution will definitely be cleaned up and withdrawn, but as long as the yamen goes in, it will take the same salary as others, but this rule of the Hou Mansion cannot be said to be unreasonable......

Everyone's minds were in a mess, and they bowed to Xu Zi first, and then said goodbye and left.

Xu Zixian stopped Chen Daojian, and said with a smile: "Daojian, it looks like your family is in a bit embarrassing, and I don't want to sponsor you first at this time, and I will go to your house with the Chang Li Guild in a while......"

"No need, son." Chen Daojian was a little surprised, but he still said very resolutely: "It is true that the family is poor, but it has not yet reached the point where it is impossible to open the pot, so it is better to wait for the Hou Mansion to distribute the money." ”

"It's okay," Xu Zixian was a little surprised, but more delighted, whether a person has character and insistence on morality, a little bit of trivial things and direct reactions can be seen.

This recruitment of officials, I can get one person in front of me, and the effort is not in vain.

The little servant Xu Ming and a few subordinates began to clean up the house, put away the rolls of the Chinese-style ones, and the rolls of the rest of the fallen ones were not left, and they would not be discarded when they were gathered together, and they could practice calligraphy when they turned over one side and the other side.

The ancients revered the word paper is not to say that it is fun, this year paper is quite expensive, ordinary children do not use paper to practice calligraphy, only use willow branches to write back and forth in the sand table.

"Fu Qian?" Xu Zixian saw the scroll in Xu Ming's hand at a glance and said, "Take it and show it to me." ”

Li Yi said on the side: "This Fu Qian is a pity, he is very smart, and he is rarely called a prodigy. But the knowledge is too miscellaneous, whether it is subtle arithmetic, general questioning, or law, it will fail, one of the three is ordinary, and one is unqualified, so it is still degraded. ”

"Isn't it Fu Qian from Shuikou Town?"

"Look at the line is ......"

"Li Gong doesn't know, this person is a talent...... Xu Zixian was originally sitting cross-legged on the wooden board, and his boots were also taken off, so he hurriedly put on his boots, but he didn't have time to pull them up, so he hurriedly ran outside the north hall, and while running, he asked Menzi Lao Lin to lead the horse.

Li Yi and the others were dumbfounded, since Xu Zixian cheered up, they have rarely seen the time when the prince has a gaffe, and what they see today is simply incredible.

They didn't know that Fu Qian tried and failed repeatedly, and when he was over thirty-one years old, he achieved nothing, and then he studied hard and eventually became a famous master at home.

The most famous miscellaneous works of the Great Wei are its writings, in shipbuilding, machines, carriages, agriculture, bricks and tiles, ceramics, sulfur, candles, paper, weapons, salt making, coal mining, mining, iron-making and many other affairs have unique features, where they go, the technology is a great leap, it is already the most famous miscellaneous master in the nineteenth year of Chongde, before the death of the Great Wei Dynasty, was requisitioned by the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Office as the Ministry of Works...... At that time, the Jingshi fell, and the Fujian Metropolitan Governor's Office supported King Zhao as the supervisor of the country, and the King of Zhao made Fu Qian an official as a supervisor, but Fu Qian was insistent, and later led his family to go to sea by boat, and heard that he was going to Lin Fangguo in the Oriental Islands, and then he was missing, and Xu Zixian did not know the final result of this miscellaneous master.

Now Fu Qian should have reached the period of accumulation, his scriptures and laws, originally average, and then simply gave up, angry and strengthened arithmetic and other miscellaneous studies, and finally became a well-known miscellaneous scholar in China in less than ten years.

Of course, Xu Zixian, such a person, was deeply impressed, originally in the list of recruits, originally said that he planned to recruit this person after the Hou Mansion made some improvements, but Fu Qian was actually among the recruits who fell off the list, if Fu Qian was let go, a few years later, the Nan'an Hou Mansion would be talked about as a joke, a generation of masters, actually fell off the list in the Hou Mansion, this joke made a big fuss.
