The 59th meeting of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, Li Shanchang
Pang Tong was worried about this, so naturally it would not be groundless. Because in this era, the construction of the city wall was basically forced labor, and basically no force could complete the construction of such a long-distance city wall in a few years.
This can only be said to be the limitation of the times. You must know that in the future, China's speed is very strong. After Zhang Yi pacified Jiangdong, he used Lu Xun to form a road repair force. This road-building unit is not only about building roads, but also about repairing bridges and cities, and this road-building unit has grown to 50,000 in recent years.
This unit is actually a military unit, but it is only a part of the military cantonment unit. This part of the people returned to the fields when they were busy, and the farming was to build bridges and pave roads, and the new city in Shouchun was built by Zhang Yi after Xiahou Yuan evacuated. Of course, not only 50,000 people built it, but the people in Shouchun City also contributed powerfully and richly.
Since Zhang Yi arrived in Shouchun, the people of Shouchun have gradually become rich. The idea of drinking water and thinking about the source is full of the hearts of the people of Shouchun, and the life that Zhang Yi has brought to them is really very good, and it can be said that it changes every year.
Pang Tong walked into Shouchun, and the soldiers at the city gate did not stop him. Pang Tong looked at the people in the city, and they were all full of joy, and his heart became even more curious.
All the way to the Academy of Liberal Arts, Pang Tong looked at the regulations outside the Academy of Liberal Arts.
"Anyone who enters the Academy of Liberal Arts must pass three examinations. Those who have three strategies, those who have passed the policy, are called scribes; Those who have schemed are called strategists; Those who have made plans are called doctors. ”
"Those who are called three scholars can be filial piety. Scribes in politics, strategists in the army, and doctors in school. ”
Pang Tong couldn't help frowning a little when he saw that the Academy of Liberal Arts was so meticulously divided. Is it okay to divide it so carefully?
At this time, a person walked over, and he couldn't help but stand up when he looked at Pang Tong's face that was different from ordinary people. "Your Excellency isn't a local, is you?"
Pang Tong looked at him, nodded and said, "I just came from Jingzhou, my surname is Pang Mingtong, and the word is Shiyuan." ”
The man said: "It turned out to be Brother Shiyuan, under Li Shanchang." ”
Pang Tong looked at Li Shanchang suspiciously, he knew that Zhang Yi promoted double names, did this Li Shanchang also have double names?
Li Shanchang said: "Brother Pang is new to Shouchun, why don't you let me introduce you." ”
Pang Tong asked, "Brother Li is in this Academy of Liberal Arts?" ”
Li Shanchang said: "I am a scribe in the lower ranks, and I can recommend people to take three tests. ”
Pang Tong knew that the three tests were basically conducted once a year, and they were placed in the late spring, also known as the spring test. Zhang Yi is also gradually cultivating talents, and wants to select talents from civilians and poor people (I personally think that poor people and civilians are not the same thing, because cold men can at least read books, indicating that their ancestors may have produced big shots), and this spring test is such a means.
If you try it this spring, you won't necessarily be able to get an official position, but you can get a degree. After obtaining this degree, you will receive a certain amount of money.
At present, the scarf with the highest employment rate is a doctorate, and basically all of them have been arranged to work. Of course, I went to teach, I went to various counties to teach, and even to some remote places and even in the Shanyue area.
Scribes generally arranged to go to the counties to govern or assist the government, but before ruling the auxiliary government, they would first enter the Zhendong General's Mansion to work and familiarize themselves with government affairs. However, because there are too many secrets in the Zhendong General's Mansion, not everyone is qualified to go, and some selection is needed.
The same is probably true for the strategists, who need to work in the Zhendong General's Mansion before they are delegated to the generals. And the opportunity to go to the Zhendong General's Mansion is too fiercely competitive, and it is impossible without a skill.
Pang Tong was invited by Li Shanchang to enter the Academy of Liberal Arts. Because of the recommendation of a scribe, Pang Tong stayed in the guest room of the Academy of Liberal Arts, and would take three tests in ten days.
Pang Tong settled down for the time being, and began to think about what Shouchun had seen and heard. What impressed him the most was that he didn't make people look down on him.
In this era, ugly people have no human rights, Zhang Song was looked down upon by Cao Cao because of his ugliness, Cao Cao was also looked down upon by Yuan Shu because of his ugliness, and Pang Tong was also unimportant to Sun Quan in history because of his ugliness and bad words about Zhou Yu.
It can only be said that no one is perfect, Pang Tong is indeed talented, but his personality is definitely not good.
On the second day, Li Shanchang came to visit again, and then talked with Pang Tong. Pang Tong has a good impression of Li Shanchang, although Li Shanchang's background is not very good, but he is talented.
Pang Tong is an all-rounder, he can see that Li Shanchang is better at governance, but he is not bad at strategy, and he is also familiar with the scriptures and history. However, Li Shanchang only has a scribe degree, which shows how strict this three tests are.
Pang Tong borrowed some books from Li Shanchang, and tried to do the topics he had passed the three exams that year. Pang Tong found that he seemed to be able to obtain only one strategist degree, a discovery that made Pang Tong a little defensive.
Pang Tong originally thought that he should get a third degree, his political ability and economic and historical scholarship are not bad, but there will be a lot of strange questions on the third exam, and he feels a little at a loss.
For example, there is such a question in the policy: How to end the Huayi dispute?
This is a variant of Huayi's difference, Pang Tong answered with Huayi's difference, thinking that Huayi is the main thing and unites Zhuyi.
Li Shanchang gave him a second grade for this question, and Pang Tong was very strange. Li Shanchang said: "The core of the first-class answer to this question is integration, and it is best to integrate Zhuyi into Huaxia." ”
Fusion! This is the idea that Zhang Yi has been promoting, and now he is using this idea to unify Shanyue. Zhang Yi found a group of scholars, checked ancient books to prove that Shanyue was originally a descendant of China, and asked Wang Shouren to spread them in Shanyue and surrounding counties.
Another example is that in the economic policy, there is such a question: the people can make it, but what should be the solution if they can't make it known?
Pang Tong wrote the answer according to his previous thoughts, but the result was a C grade and failed.
Li Shanchang explained it this way, "General Zhendong advocates opening up the wisdom of the people, and the sentence of this sentence is: the people can make it, and it will be done; Don't make it, know it! Let them do what they can use, and let them know the reason for doing so. ”
Pang Tong was dumbfounded when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't this a random change of the classics?" And the people are wise, and it is not the blessing of the country! ”
Li Shanchang said: "This needs to be solved by the army. The existence of the army is to maintain the stability of the country, suppress civil strife, and crusade against enemy countries. ”
"Suppressing people with soldiers is probably not what Renjun is called." Pang Tong said.
Li Shanchang said: "Renjun loves the people, but he will not allow the people to have internal strife. You should probably look for General Zhendong's books first, otherwise it is estimated that Brother Pang will only get a strategist degree. ”
Pang Tong was surprised, he really didn't know that Zhang Yi had also written books.
