The questions of Bailu Academy are more flexible than other topics, and the depth is several notches larger.

Although this second question is out of the "Book of Songs" that must be learned in ordinary times, each question contains the test of the examiner for the candidate.

The foothold lies in the country, which is to understand the candidates' vision and thinking about Dayan, and it is not possible to answer it by copying books.

Even if you can answer a volume by relying on the words from the classics that you put together from the left, it seems to be quoting scriptures and classics, and it is full of momentum, but it is empty, but in fact there is nothing, how can the people of the academy not see it?

One of the most important points of the college topic is that you must express your own opinions in order to pass the first hurdle.

This is also a big challenge for Dayan's candidates.

Jiang Yun read on the side, "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, my fair lady, gentleman is good." While comparing Dayan's three paths on scratch paper, he intends to incorporate his thoughts on these in the second question.

This move is quite bold, whether it is a blessing or a curse, Jiang Yun does not know.

There are three ways for Yu Dayan to be an official, one is to be blessed by his ancestors, inheriting his father's position according to the hereditary title, such as Qin Tianjian, and the like of historians are generally selected through hereditary positions and are not recruited from the outside world.

This way has extremely high requirements for life experience, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The second is the imperial examination, the imperial examination is divided into children's examination, courtyard examination, township examination, meeting examination and palace examination, only by passing the examination all the way five times can you become an alternate official of the Great Yan court, registered in the ministry, and can apply for office when there is a vacancy.

There is no background in this way, and you only need to read a book to participate. However, no matter what stage of this exam, you must write an essay, and the examiner will take questions on the Four Books and Five Classics, and most of the questions taken are one of the sentences.

The writing needs to use ancient language, restricting free play, and such as sentence length, glyph, tone, etc. also need to be relatively written, and the structure is divided into eight parts: breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting to speak, starting, starting shares, middle shares, back shares, and bundle shares.

The third is that everyone participates in the examination of the academy today, and there is a poem: "Once dreaming of a white deer, five years of leaping into the red door." It means that after entering the academy, after five years of study, the imperial court or the local government will rush to invite the academy students to become officials. The people of the academy can choose to join the WTO as officials, and if they do not want to, the court cannot force them.

The academy recruits every five years, only 500 people each time, and has recruited 15 classes of students so far, a total of 25,000 students, which is not much compared to the 60 million people of Dayan, but in the 80 years of the founding of Dayan, the figure of the academy can be seen everywhere inside and outside the court, that is, the seven people of the cabinet, the first assistant is not easy to the east, the sacrificial wine is square, the university scholar Zhang Pei graduated from the academy, and the people of the academy occupy three seats in the cabinet.

Therefore, entering the academy is equivalent to stepping into the court with half a foot.

But now, it is only the second question, and a lot of students have been screened out, and the competition is quite cruel.

Most of the students present were both the imperial examination and the academy, so they were accustomed to the practice of the eight strands, according to the classics, and rarely based on themselves, saying what they thought. In addition, the major affairs of the family and the country have no obvious role in the imperial examination, and the articles of the imperial examination all cite the views of the great sages, and even the exposition of their own views is very easy to touch the criterion, resulting in years of hard work in vain.

The academy requires its own point of view, which is completely different from the imperial examination, and also represents two different models.

The previous candidate estimated that he had been immersed in Bagu for many years, and he had long been accustomed to the writing of Bagu, and he was quite unfamiliar with this kind of exam question, and he was angry, so he felt that the wrong question was ridiculous.

Jiang Yun smiled slightly, "My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good." "Why is a gentleman such a lady? Because of this, the virtuous lady and the slender lady are also gentlemen.

For a gentleman, this woman is very virtuous and beautiful, so he wants to pursue her. In other words, the gentleman asked for this woman because of what fascinated him.

For the state, if there is a certain thing, whether it is a person or a thing, if there are factors that attract the country, then the state will pursue it, for example, I think your land here is quite fertile, I want you to give it to me, if you refuse, then start a war.

The fertile land that was also obtained by waging war was the "fair lady" of the country because of its great attraction to the country.

Jiang Yun gradually figured it out, the so-called "My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good." If it is applied to the state, it is to ask what the country is interested in and why, and the combination of the second half of the "piano and friends" and "bell and drum music" is how the country "should".

This question contains the three questions of the country, Jiang Yun suddenly realized that the sentence of the "Book of Songs" is just a coat, and its essence is to know the candidate's consideration and thinking about the interests of the country, so as to select the pillars of the imperial court.

Just when most of the candidates were thinking and meditating, Jiang Yun already had a plan, and even he wanted to add some more things.

"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the gentleman has been devoted to the fair lady for many seasons, so why, it is nothing more than the virtuous lady, that is, the inner lady, the outer beauty...."

"What is for the country is for the benefit of the country to the outside world. For example, the nomadic tribe of Beirong lives in a fertile place outside the desert for a long time, but this place can not grow millet rice, every cold and snowy season, there will be a shortage of food, and the one they want is rice grain, and as far as they are concerned, the loss of soldiers is not as expensive as winter grain, so they attack the land of the north of the desert of Dayan, kill the people, and take the money and grain..."

Through his experience of living in Mobei for more than ten years, Jiang Yun deduced the reason why Beirong has been in trouble. When rescuing Liu Changqing's medicinal materials, he learned that the people of Dayan and Beirong inside and outside Mobei often had trade contacts, Beirong needed Dayan's food and clothing, and Dayan needed Beirong's cattle and horses, both of which had their own needs.

He had an idea in his chest, but it was a little too frightened, and he hesitated for a moment, but still wrote it down.

"In the long run, both sides will lose, but the two countries have their own needs, if the border opens a mutual market, not only can the big swallow in the cattle, sheep and livestock, but also can earn a lot of profits. And there is one place for this move, that is, to build a Rongyan mutual settlement and pass my Dayan Chinese characters to Rong..."

In the voices of hatred for Beirong inside and outside the court, Jiang Yun's idea was quite bold, and it was even possible to be beaten as a collaborator.

But Jiang Yun had more to think about.

Dayan has a request, Beirong also has a request, and the two are in line with each other, but they can cooperate.

And the most important point is the mutual settlement, if the people of Beirong are accustomed to getting rice, food, clothing and other things in the mutual settlement area, and even can continue to get it through work, instead of going to the vast grassland to graze, and when there is a shortage of food, they will have to fight to be full, then in comparison, a comfortable life will definitely be a better choice.

Over time, they will lose the desire to war, and then the war in Beirong can be alleviated to the greatest extent.

No matter how bad it is, there are Beirong's own people in the mutual settlement, and if they hold up the butcher's knife, then if they can't make their own tribes fight with each other, their strength will be greatly weakened.

And the most critical strategy of this strategy is to spread the Chinese characters of Dayan to Beirong.

If this is done well, everyone in Beirong uses Chinese characters, then within ten years, although the name of Beirong is there, it is actually dead.

Jiang Yun doesn't hate Beirong, but wars always kill people, this move is peaceful and Beirong, why not?

Jiang Yun carefully wrote his article on the draft, even if it was a draft, he wrote it properly, without a trace of randomness.

After writing about the external aspect, Jiang Yun began to conceive of the internal. For Dayan, what is needed is talent.

Talents cannot be produced out of thin air, they must go through a long period of systematic study, even Jiang Yun is also experiencing a bloody test, and even almost died on the spot in Jinling to get to this day.

Although some of the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics are a bit old, they can be passed down to this day, and there must be something worth learning, but if you blindly memorize and study for the sake of the imperial examination and become an official, and do not understand the content of the book, then you can only become the candidate who wanted to tear up the examination questions just now, completely without himself, just a vassal of the sages, or just an empty shell. This is called rotten Confucianism, if it is an ordinary small official, it is not a big problem, but it is easy to mislead the country when entering the house, and it is not the place of the country.

In this regard, Jiang Yun stopped at the point, no longer narrating, his external affairs are bold enough, if he continues to write everything he thinks on paper, with his current strength, not to mention the seven people in the cabinet, I am afraid that his boss Tong Commander can kill himself with a random finger.

Jiang Yun wrote down the entire article on the draft, and spent another half an hour retouching it before he began to transcribe his article onto rice paper.

Jiang Yun had already thought about the title of the opening chapter, and wrote down four words, "Da Yan's Friendship".

The rest of the candidates also found their own ideas one after another, and in an instant, the scene of the tip of the pen in the examination room slashing across the rice paper appeared together.

The examinees are working hard to write, and one person is constantly patrolling, observing the examinees' answers as they walk.

If you look up, you will know that this person is a student of the Hanlin Academy, a poet and a school captain, because he has fought on the battlefield but is good at writing love poems, known as "chivalrous tenderness".

However, he had already looked down on officialdom, resigned from the Hanlin Academy, and entered the academy to teach students wholeheartedly.

He was one of the examiners of the college literary examination, and he came to the examination room to see the candidates' answers.

The first thing to look at is the word, the so-called word is like its person, the word is the first impression that the candidate gives to the examiner, if the word shape is regular, most of them are cautious, the word shape is wide open and closed, and there is more pride in the chest. If the font is crooked, it will be a notch lower in the examiner's heart when the paper has not yet been marked.

Walking along the road, he found some good candidates, but if he could write "A" with a pen, he didn't find a single one. However, the difficulty of taking the first is quite large, and only the top ten are selected among the 5,000 people, so the first ones are all the best.

Gradually, Zuo Yingyun walked to Jiang Yun's seat, as soon as he came to the seat, he saw the stinky horn not far away, and then looked at Jiang Yun, but he was still indifferent, unmoved, completely immersed in answering the question, and couldn't help but have a little more praise in his heart.

He looked closely, and saw the words on Jiang Yun's scratch paper, and he was in a trance.

It was as if a picture of the country was slowly unfolding in front of him, a person wearing Xuanjia, standing in front of the enemy with a sword, without fear.

Immersed, this candidate's words actually made him give birth to such a wonderful feeling!

Zuo Yingzhen looked carefully, only to see that every word was neat and imposing, every word should not be regular and lose its aura, nor should it be arrogant and lose its square circle, and a heroic spirit revealed between the lines actually evoked his memories on the battlefield.

And this is just scratch paper, but it is still written seriously and without slacking off.

Zuo Yingyun wrote down Jiang Yun's words, and he caught a glimpse of the title written by Jiang Yun in the afterglow.

"The Great Swallow?"

Zuo Yingzhen was shocked.
