Hu Lin saw that the first two articles on the administrative countermeasures for governing the country in this examination paper were also general, and there was no difference between them and the policies in the papers he had seen earlier. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the policy essay of this exam paper is very sparsely written, which can only be regarded as barely eye-catching, and there is really nothing to be desired.

Hu Lin felt that there were many theories of governance and administration in the Confucian classics that could be cited in the first two policy questions, and it was easier to write something, but this volume was still written mediocre, and the next three policy theories that required more professional or unpopular knowledge were probably written in a mess.

After all, those strategies for Xia and Pingyu, as well as the countermeasures for controlling Huang, these require a lot of professional knowledge and data to support in order to write wonderful! In fact, until now, Hu Lin has not seen any articles that make his eyes shine.

For the pair of Xia Heping, those candidates still emphasize the same emphasis on morality and benevolence, which are basically all vain routines.

Of course, it's no wonder that those candidates, after all, are all students who have never experienced anything, and it's not easy to ask them to write something dry.

Eighty percent of the paper in front of Hu Lin is also like this, and it is estimated that no candidate can write something practical.

He had already decided in his mind that it was impossible for this volume to be selected, so he planned to read the remaining three strategic sentences of this volume, and then he would finish reading this volume!

But when Hu Lin read the third part of this exam paper, he couldn't help but light up.

He thought that the Xia policy theory in this exam paper must be the same as the previous candidates' papers, and it was full of empty talk and general words, but he didn't expect this policy to be real and substantial, and the arguments were detailed and wrote a lot of strategies, and this candidate completely looked like he had been in the Song and Xia border, and it was definitely not written by the policy in the previous candidates' papers.

Hu Lin is a native of Shaanxi, and he has a deeper understanding of the Western Xia than ordinary people, because he has a deeper understanding of the combat power and barbarism of the Western Xia people! He could easily see that this paper was definitely not empty talk, and it was definitely substantial.

In addition to the strategy Hengshan, which was valued by the imperial court, this candidate also proposed a new Pingxia strategy - opening up the river.

In the past, when the strategy against Xia was mentioned, everyone's eyes were on Hengshan, and they were always entangled in the competition with the Western Xia people in the Hengshan area, and no one had ever proposed a strategy to attack Western Xia from Hehuang.

As a native of Shaanxi, Hu Lin also had some research on how to deal with the Xixia people a few years ago. It's just that he pondered and pondered, and he was still making an article on the front line of Hengshan, but he never thought of attacking the Xixia people from the Hehuang region.

The candidate for the strategy Hengshan also put forward his own opinions, he felt that the strategy Hengshan should not be urgent, should be steady and steady, step by step. The fort should be built gradually extended, and the strategy of slowly realizing the city and the mountains should be realized. Then there is the fact that we must sincerely recruit the Shengqiang who have collected Hengshan, which can not only reduce the source of summer thieves, but also increase our combat power. The countermeasures are still very meritorious.

In Hu Lin's opinion, this method is a very old and spicy Pingxia strategy, and if it can be strictly implemented, I am afraid that in the near future, it will really be able to take advantage of the Songxia border.

In addition to putting forward a lot of specific methods for this strategy Hengshan, this candidate also put forward a lot of eye-catching insights on this development of Hehuang. When Hu Lin read it, he was deeply attracted and felt that this strategy was really implementable.

In this strategy, it is said that the horn is dying of old age, and his youngest son Dong Yu is the only favorite. After his death, the leadership of Qingtang must be handed over to Dong Yu. The two sons born to the first two wives, the eldest son Mo Felt Corner Ju Zongge, and the second son Blind Felt Ju Niche Valley, both of them did not accept Dong Yu. If the horn is dead, there will be strife in the land of the river. At that time, there will be constant disputes in the land of Hehuang, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to become a barrier for the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, for the land of Hehuang, the Great Song Dynasty should have made a plan in advance, otherwise it will be stolen by the Western Xia people, and the Great Song Dynasty will be extremely passive. If Western Xia gets the land of Hehuang, it can go out of the west of Hengshan or go south from the land of Hehuang, and my Great Song Dynasty will be tired of coping. Zongge City and Niche Valley City are close to the Great Song Dynasty, so this examinee thinks that he should actively win over the felt horns and blind felt, in case there is a dispute in the Qingtang Dynasty, at least the Great Song Dynasty should take these two places to hold them. With these two places, the Great Song Dynasty not only retreated but also could be defended, and it was a good springboard to attack Western Xia from here.

This is a groundbreaking solution that I had never thought of before. This Jiaoluo is indeed an ally of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is only a weak alliance based on the common interests of the Western Xia, in the face of the great interests of the country, in fact, these things can be discarded. Besides, now that Jiao Guluo is dying, if he dies, Qingtang may not still implement his policy. And under the foreseeable situation, this Qingtang Dynasty must be divided, but if the Great Song Dynasty does not take it, I am afraid that the Western Xia will also be compared to a plot.

Although Hu Lin is a civil official, but he is very obsessed with this Western Xia, only officials from Shaanxi can feel his depression, in the eyes of Shaanxi people, this Western Xia people are simply too hateful. Because they have brought too much suffering to the people of Shaanxi.

Hu Lin finished reading this strategy in one go, and couldn't help but be amazed. Just when his hand slapped on the table, he remembered that this was reading the file in the inner house, and it was inappropriate for him to be so presumptuous, so he forcibly stopped the slap.

Hu Lin calmed down his overly excited mood for a while, and then began to review the last two strategies.

The subsequent treatise on the pacification policy shocked him again, all the countermeasures in it were reasonable, and it was completely like it was written by a literary marshal who had been in the frontier for several years, which made Hu Lin greatly impressed.

Although the method of governing the border and leveling the captives advocated in this policy treatise is complementary to the Confucian principle of "governing the country by virtue" and "benevolent government," it is convincing. Because any argument written in this article is justified and well-founded, this examinee has cited all the examples of failures in history that have relied only on education to govern the borders, and also cited successful examples of the complementarity of military deterrence and moral education, which makes people have to be convinced.

And the song "Breaking the Array" in this article "Drunk and looking at the sword, dreaming of blowing the horn and the camp." Eight hundred miles of fire, fifty strings turned over the outside sound, and the battlefield was an autumn soldier. The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Poor white happens. The lyrics made Hu Lin's eyes shine.

Although the last sentence "poor white happens" was written by a young candidate, there is a little inconsistency. But Hu Lin naturally found a reason for it: this sentence is purely for artistic needs, and it may not be necessary to really wait for old age and gray hair to write like this! This is also very normal, if everything written has to be true, then the scope of artistic creation is too small.

The lyrics of "Breaking the Array" made Hu Lin see the talent of this candidate.

As for the treatise on the treatment of Huang, Hu Lin also has something to say when he reads it, and everything he says is supported by specific methods. This examinee proposed in this strategy to "harness the water and attack the sand", which is an eye-catching strategy! Although I don't know if it's feasible or not, this candidate has proposed many specific methods, which are well written!

Hu Lin intuitively felt that this strategy would work. He vaguely felt that this method was much more effective than the "Liuta River diversion" method of controlling yellow. However, this candidate did not mention the method of controlling the Yellow River of the "Liuta River Diversion", obviously he just wanted to simply discuss the matter, and did not want to get involved in the dispute of the "Liuta River Diversion". Otherwise, if he encounters a hardcore who supports the "Six Pagoda River Diversion" method, maybe he will be defeated just because he questioned the "Six Pagoda River Diversion" method.

This candidate is obviously very smart, and he did not mention the method of "diversion of the Liuta River", but only proposed a method of "harnessing water and attacking sand", and all analysis is based on objective conditions, without subjective assumptions, and does not involve disputes. The candidate's meaning is obvious, he just proposes a way, and as for whether others use him or not, he doesn't care. Obviously, I don't want to compete head-on with the method of "diversion of the Six Towers River", and I want to leave this decision to the ministers of the imperial court.

In addition to this "water and sand", this candidate also proposed several other methods. When Hu Lin read it, he felt that it was also quite pertinent.

Unexpectedly, there were such talented and hard-working candidates in this subject lock hall exam, Hu Lin couldn't help but be fascinated. These three policy treatises, even the ministers of the imperial court, may not have written so many dry goods.

Hu Lin had already made up his mind at this time, and he wanted to take this volume.

In fact, in terms of the style of this policy alone, this volume does not have much merit except for the song "Breaking the Array". The writing of this treatise is written in a vernacular language that is easy to understand, but it is beautiful.

But the content of this strategy is so exciting, which makes Hu Lin admired.

Therefore, Hu Lin naturally won this volume without any suspense. His suggestion is naturally that his strategy is substantial, and that the proposed countermeasures are likely to be effective.

If it was the standard of emphasizing poetry and ignoring policy theory in the past years, if Hu Lin won this volume, it would be a bit of a release. But Wang Gongchen, the chief examiner of today's department, also said that he should pay equal attention to poetry and strategy, and Hu Lin naturally had a clear conscience when he won this paper. The content of the last three articles of this paper, even if it is placed in all the papers of the locked hall test, I am afraid that it is definitely the best.

Of course, Hu Lin's power is just to pick out the ones that can be taken, and let them hand over to Sima Guang, the deputy chief examiner of their group, and let him decide whether to take them or not. Of course, even if he wins, he will have to report to the examiner Wang Gongchen again for the final ruling.

Hu Lin knew that Sima Guang, the deputy chief examiner of their group, although he was humble and easy-going, he was definitely a humble gentleman, but he was meticulous about the marking work, and he would not let go of water because he was afraid of the face of several of his graders, as long as he felt that he was unqualified, he would generally resolutely refuse to be selected.

Hu Lin secretly said at this time: If Sima Guang, the deputy chief examiner, did not win, he would recommend it again, and argued to point out the cleverness of the strategy theory in this examination paper. Such a talented candidate, he can't be buried like this. As a native of Shanxi, Hu Lin still has a great sense of identity with this talented candidate, but his literary talent is poor. Because, in fact, he is also such a person.

This science is both poetic and policy-oriented, and Hu Lin feels that he is still somewhat sure of his reasoning.

…………

After Hu Lin finished reviewing the exam papers, Sima Guang would read them again in general, and then if he felt that he could take the middle, he would write the word "medium", and then hand it over to the examiner Wang Gongchen for final review.

However, in general, if the deputy principal is selected, the examiner will generally not be dethroned. First, there have been two reviews in the front, and generally the papers in front of the examiner are not too bad. Again, the examiner will generally take care of the face of the deputy examiner, and since they have won it, if they don't find a big mistake or taboo, they will generally not fall again.

Therefore, although the deputy examiner is located in the middle of this marking, the discretion is still very heavy.

Sima Guang was very rigorous on the side, reviewing the papers selected by the eight marking officers in his group and felt that they could be selected.

Soon, Sima Guang reviewed the exam paper that Hu Lin was optimistic about.

After he took the exam paper, he first looked at Hu Lin's recommendation for selection, which said that it was because the last three strategies of this paper were so brilliantly written, so he recommended it.

Sima Guang only nodded slightly when he saw this comment, but he didn't rush to read the three theories, but still started from the poetry theory.

Soon after reading the poetry theory, Sima Guang frowned without a trace, obviously for a great writer like him, this volume of poetry really made him unable to see it.

This poem can only be regarded as a reluctant rhyme, and it is not nutritious. Uh, of course, it's true that these test-taking poems and test-taking poems are some poems that are not nutritious, but the poems on this volume don't even have allusions and eye-catching rhetoric, which is really too ...... It's too dry.

Sima Guang was obviously a little unacceptable to this poem. In his eyes, even if he writes casually, he should write better than this, what is this writing.

Fortunately, Sima Guang is also a very capable person, and he naturally knows that poetry can only be used as a façade decoration and a display of literary talent, in fact, it really depends on whether a person is talented or not, and he also needs to see his strategy.

Since the grading officer Hu Lin said that the last three strategies of this paper are very outstanding, it should still be worth reading, of course, Sima Guang does not think that a candidate can write any too effective strategies.

At that moment, Sima Guang patiently continued to go down.

The first two essays are mediocre, and when they are discussed, they can only be regarded as at the lower middle level.

But when he saw the next three strategies, his eyes immediately lit up, this Hu Lin saw it very accurately, these three strategies were really outstanding.
