Chapter 366: Zero-score essay in the Great Song Imperial Examination

Nearly half a year of training has turned a little boy into a low-level officer.

At first, Queen Tranquility hoped that Zhang Zhansheng would continue to study, just like the few people selected from the junior high school students, and then go to high school, until he was selected to enter the so-called university taught by them themselves.

Of course, there will be no more than twenty people who can go to the university they teach themselves, and in terms of intelligence alone, they will definitely surpass the previous twenty house-brass.

King Zhang Anguo smiled and said, "If we are just ordinary people, of course we have to think about things like this...... However, we are the top responsible, and we still have to think about the cultivation of successors.

Knowledge education is important, but the experience that a manager has is even more important...... Think about that guy in that world, because he doesn't have rich experience, how ridiculous his words and deeds are!

Our children can learn hard at any time, and only experience this thing and can't make up for it in a hurry......"

That's right, Queen Jing immediately understood what he meant, and agreed to let Zhang Zhansheng go to the army first, and after developing the habit of abiding by discipline and exercising his body and will, he could choose at will whether he went to industry, agriculture, commerce and administration.

As for his studies, with the two of them here, how can he find time in the future.

Now it seems that the decision to let him serve in the Navy was the right one.

This young man did well in the army and made a lot of friends...... King Zhang Anguo originally wanted to confer the title on him personally, but Guo Beyu insisted on rushing to go, and claimed that he was going to inspect the construction of the Manila Naval Base, so he would do it together.

King Zhang Anguo understood his thoughts, and he wanted to keep Zhang Zhansheng in the navy all the time, for fear that the army would rob him halfway.

Judging from Zhang Zhansheng's attitude towards the construction of ironclad warships, his ability to look at problems is far from enough...... Of course, he was just a child.

Time is a god, take your time.

King Zhang Anguo briefly said the situation of going to the Great Song Dynasty to mourn, as long as he expressed the sadness of the Federal Empire over the death of Jia Pingzhang and Jia Yidao.

If he encounters some diplomatic, commercial or even maybe military matters, he will completely leave them to the Foreign Minister Hou Dongfang, who accompanied him.

King Zhang Anguo finally said: "You have another important task...... You're going to recruit some special 'talent'. ”

Special talents?!

"Don't be surprised, my son...... They should all be 'eccentric' scholars in the eyes of others, and they may be a little temperamental, and it is not very useful for others to recruit them, and they don't even bother with your Uncle Yang personally hiring them......"

Second Lieutenant Zhang Zhansheng became interested: Who are they?

King Zhang Anguo smiled and introduced the situation to him.

The state examination, provincial examination and palace examination of the Great Song Dynasty government are almost equivalent to the high school entrance examination, college entrance examination and postgraduate entrance examination in that world.

In such an exam, the vast majority of candidates performed well, were able to stick to the proposition, offer advice to the Great Song Dynasty, carry forward the main theme, spread positive energy, and show strong patriotic feelings.

However, there are also a very small number of candidates who use the questions to play, borrow the past and the present, and publish a lot of negative energy things, without a bit of positive spirit.

They boldly pointed out the shortcomings of the Great Song Dynasty government, said some things that dissatisfied the chief examiner, and even proposed to emulate some practices of the Federal Emperor, which clearly undermined the hard-won situation of stability and unity.

For scholars' articles that talk about the Great Song Dynasty official mansion, the examiner is the most annoying, as long as he finds it, he will resolutely give zero points and resolutely refuse to be hired.

Now, especially after the establishment of the Federal Empire, there are suddenly more and more such zero-score essays, and in exams of all levels, it seems that candidates are more and more fond of talking about it...... Some candidates even suggested that the Great Song Dynasty should also officially release the "Great Song Charter", thinking that the content of only one sentence "ruling the world with the world's scholars and doctors" was too simple...... The most terrifying thing is that there is a vague idea that the official family of the Great Song Dynasty is also under the law!

Oh my God, this is crazy...... Resolutely give zero points!

Some of the imperial examinations also called for the reform of state institutions, with the prime minister in charge of exercising executive power, the separation of the criminal department from the three provinces and six ministries, and the exercise of independent judicial power like a federal empire.

Such an essay will inevitably give a zero score, and the test takers will inevitably be rejected------ when will the management of the Great Song Dynasty government make some candidates who have not dried up their mouths?

The most annoying thing is that there are candidates who don't know where they heard a few words and talk about the royal money of the Great Song Dynasty!

In the article, they scribbled what the king of the Federal Empire, the Zhang family, although he also had his own Yindian group company, but he also abided by the laws and regulations, and also paid taxes according to the regulations...... However, the royal money bank of the Great Song Dynasty did not pay taxes, borrowed money from the treasury at will, and all expenditures and revenues were not transparent...... It was also suggested that the laws governing the corporations of the Federal Empire should be studied and that the citizens should be allowed to audit their accounts......

This is really nonsense, in the Song Dynasty money bank does not pay taxes, our officials don't know, how can some of you grass people know?!

There are even candidates who have pointed out the examination system and content of the Great Song Dynasty, saying that the exam questions are single, and what arithmetic, physics and chemistry, biology and so on should be added like the Federal Empire...... It's really unbelievable.

I have been taking this exam for hundreds of years, and I have selected countless outstanding talents, and I have not adhered to our great tradition and rashly learned the methods of other countries.

Besides, arithmetic, physics and chemistry, biology, etc., have all been read by this official, what is the use of them?!

For such candidates, not only must they be given zero marks, but they will also be banned from the exam for three years!

What those officials didn't know was that on an island separated by a small strait, King Zhang Anguo was also paying close attention to the chaos of the Great Song imperial examination.

King Zhang Anguo said to his son in his study: "I will give you a list, and you can send someone to invite them in the name of the crown prince of the Federal Empire...... They were received at the Imperial Embassy in Xinbiancheng.

Don't worry about your safety, we've been operating there for years. ”

Second Lieutenant Zhang Zhansheng frowned and finished reading the materials given to him by his father, and said, "Those candidates' articles are not wrong...... How can you be killed with a stick?! ”

"The time, the place, and the people are not right...... Even if they tell the truth, of course, they won't be hired.

It will take some time for the Great Song government to understand common sense. ”

The advent of the Magna Carta, especially the fact that it was publicly engraved on several large bronze tripods, really shocked some scholars in the Great Song Dynasty...... Some people even went to the Imperial Plaza of Badaohe to see, and took photos with the bronze tripod and the 24-hour guards as the background.

The newspapers of the Federal Empire, represented by the Liuqiu Times, the Liuqiu Express, and the Liuqiu Xunbao, were freely sold in the Great Song Dynasty...... Of course, the "Minsheng" newspaper of the Great Song Dynasty can also be sold within the territory of the Federal Empire, and the "Di Bao" of the Great Song Dynasty government does not bother to earn that little circulation of money, and does not sell it to the public.

In addition, "anonymous" and "anonymous" people with ulterior motives always publish books such as "The Wealth of Nations," "The Wealth of the People," "The Spirit of Freedom and the Spirit of Contract," and "New Interpretations of Science," so there are almost no obstacles to the exchange of ideas between the peoples of the two countries, and new sparks often collide.

Needless to say, the prices of some scriptures and classics, poems and songs are getting cheaper and cheaper, and even a slightly wealthy scholar casually publishes a book.

This was almost impossible in the past...... The price of the book is staggering.

Therefore, more and more people are reading books with new ideas and new insights...... The advantage is that bookstalls and bookstores can be seen everywhere, and you can often see people reading books, but the disadvantage is that there are more and more zero-score essays in the imperial examination.

The virtues and ages of the Great Song Dynasty officials were enough for people of insight to have worries.

In the long run, the country will not be a country......

However, the Empress Dowager Xie, who had been listening to the government at that time, agreed with Jia Pingzhang's statement, he was just a scholar, and he said his casually, and he was not admitted to me...... Isn't not admission the biggest punishment?

Why bother with them?!

When King Zhang Anguo learned that the Minister of Education, Yang Youxing, had failed in his last trip to the Great Song Dynasty to recruit teachers who could go to Liberty Island and the Anzhou region of Nanyindi, he thought of those scholars who had new ideas and new insights.

They are all courageous literati who would rather say what they want to say knowing that they may not be hired...... This is the real intellectuals, who are not keen to be close to the powerful, and do not sell their conscience for a job!

The "scholars" among the intellectuals of the Great Song Dynasty still existed!!

Of course, the Great Song Dynasty government still believes in the way of forgiveness and is not too embarrassed by intellectuals...... Think of the savage and ferocious aliens of later generations, whose cruelty to intellectuals is outrageous.

Attitudes towards intellectuals can reveal the essence of a government or regime...... For those regimes that rely on the knife to snatch up, intellectuals are their great enemies, and they will be killed as soon as possible.

The Federal Empire will always give those people a way out.

If they can afford to take the imperial examinations, then they will be fully competent to work as teachers overseas.

From among them, administrative officials in charge of local education in overseas areas can also be selected.

In terms of the official position of the Great Song Dynasty, it is the promotion of the school affairs department of various roads, this official position is in charge of the school administration of all the prefectures and counties, and they go to the states and counties once a year to inspect the quality of teachers and the diligence of students.

This is actually a profession that the intellectuals of the Great Song Dynasty prefer.

If they are given a high salary, and the prince of the Federal Empire personally recruits them, then they will have face and lining, and they will definitely go happily.

Of course, if they exaggerate the beauty of overseas scenery and humanities, they will be even more tempted...... The intellectuals of the Great Song Dynasty in this era were still very adventurous.
