After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, everyone was stunned, including Wang Ningan!

Even if he guessed a trace of Zhao Zhen's intentions, he was shocked, this emperor who had always been soft was indeed different. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Where is this an ordinary competition, it is simply a dispute between two educational methods, to put it mildly, it involves the content of the imperial examination, the direction of the national dynasty and the scholars, and even who is Confucian Zhengshuo and who can represent the way of Confucius and Mencius!

It is not an exaggeration to raise such a high status.

The Six Arts School upholds pragmatism and adheres to general education, and now he is a scholar of science and technology, born in Taixue and the Four Great Academies, and receives traditional Confucian education.

Although the momentum of the Six Arts School in recent years is very good, but the real influence in the world is the four major academies, or Guozijian, Taixue, the reason is very simple, they control the imperial examination, control the civil and official system, even if the Six Arts School is also an official school, but has not officially participated in the imperial examination, which is more important, at a glance.

Today, Zhao Zhen got the two groups of people together, and they had to compete with each other, making it clear that they were going to do something, our Uncle Zhao was not as harmless as he seemed on the surface!

As the prime minister, Jia Changchao is so ghostly, Zhao Zhen wanted to catch the civil officials off guard, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, this is the essence of the imperial court, and it is not trivial to gather talents from all over the world." How can the Six Arts Academy be able to compete against the people of the world, the old minister thinks that it is very unfair to compete rashly. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded with a smile, "What Jia Xianggong said is very true, I also know that you new science and technology scholars are not willing to bully the small with the big, this competition is only limited to the arithmetic part, I believe that my protégé will not let me down, right?" ”

Could it be wrong?

Fu Bi and Han Qi set their eyes on Jia Changchao at the same time, and it was full of poisonous light!

Who the hell are you helping with a mouthy old thing?

Jia Changchao rolled his eyelids, looked at the sky, and looked at the ground, anyway, it doesn't matter to the old man whether you win or lose, I just play soy sauce.

If the Prime Minister does not speak, can others refute the decree? If you just open your mouth and let Jia Changchao pit it again, this old thing is already very bad!

Everyone didn't speak, Zhao Zhen was very satisfied, so let's do it according to his idea! Soon the little eunuch moved the table, thirty on one side, and sent pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table.

Here are the thirty students of the Six Arts, and there are the new science and technology scholars under the champion Zheng Zheng, and the two sides are facing each other, and there is a great momentum of triggering.

Zhao Zhen said: "This competition is arithmetic, with a total of 30 questions, and it was completed in half an hour. After a while, someone reads the questions, and each question is only read twice. If you don't know how to do it, skip it immediately, so as not to affect the next question, and you can start. ”

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, the little eunuch took a box from Zhao Zhen's hand, opened it, took out a piece of paper transcribed by Zhao Zhen, coughed twice, and began to read.

Fu Bi, Han Qi and the others exchanged glances with each other, and they all read the uneasiness in each other's eyes.

Thirty questions, half an hour, the average time for one question is very short, can you do it?

They have the heart to oppose it, but it has already begun, and they have said that they have played everything, so they can only listen.

The first is the question of "solving a hundred chickens", Han Qi is in charge of the third division, and he is so smart, he turned around in his heart and came up with the answer.

But as soon as he came up with it, the second Pythagorean question came.

Han Qi could only concentrate and continue to work hard to calculate, he almost made it to the fifth question, and his brain was messed up, no matter what, he couldn't keep up.

Han Qi slowly opened his eyes and found that Fu Bi and the others had given up, and their faces were ugly. Han Qi had no choice but to focus on the students on both sides.

First of all, look at the new science and technology scholars, compared to the ministers, they have pens in their hands, there is paper on the table, as the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, it stands to reason that they should be easier than your ministers.

But these people have been cold for ten years, they have read dead books, and their heads are stuffed with so much, not to mention "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", they can't even count how much food a family eats in a month.

It was only to the fifth question that many people were already scribbling on the table, and they were out of shape. For these people, every second has become a torment, squeezing their eyebrows, scratching their ears and scratching their cheeks, it is simply ugly, and people can't bear to look at it directly!

When Han Qi saw this, it was dark in front of him, it was bad!

Fortunately, Zheng Zheng, the champion of the capital, still has some ability, he writes hard, and the speed is not slow at all.

The little eunuch has already read the tenth question, and Zheng Zheng is sure of the other nine except for one that is not guaranteed. Not bad, he secretly wiped his sweat, looked up suddenly, and found that the thirty people on the opposite side were completely different from them who were in a hurry and sweating.

These people are just like coming to play, after reading the question, three times and two times, they quickly came up with the answer, especially the horse-faced boy, who was even more annoying, he lay there, looked at each other, just hehe smirked, and after three or five questions, he waved his pen and wrote out the answer, and then continued to look at Zheng Zheng, as if watching a monkey!

This test is simply untestable, how can it be more painful than the palace test?

Zheng Zheng was about to be driven crazy, his nose was sweating, his wheezing was louder, and his head was even more confused.

When he had reached 25 questions, he threw away his brush and collapsed in his seat, exhausted and almost collapsed like a fish out of the water.

Not only him, but the rest of the 29 people are also similar

……

Finally, half an hour passed, the assessment was over, Prime Minister Jia Changchao, Second Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang, Sanxiang Fubi, Ji Xiang Han Qi, and several people walked over slowly, read all the test papers here, and quickly counted the results.

"Your Majesty, there are 12 people who answer 5 questions correctly, only 7 people who answer more than 10 questions correctly, and Zhuangyuan Gong has 18 correct answers, which is the most here."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and said expressionlessly: "Well, let's take a look at the Six Arts Academy!" ”

Several ministers came over and picked up the test papers, and soon their faces were extremely exciting, constantly changing, like Sichuan opera changing faces.

Especially Fu Bi and Han Qi, they were next to each other, constantly comparing with the answers, and gradually, their sideburns were also sweating.

Zhao Zhen waited on the dragon chair for a long time, but no one spoke, he couldn't wait, he rushed down directly, picked up a roll, and looked at it carefully, 30 questions, 29 correct!

Sure enough, there are some doorways!

Zhao Zhen picked up another volume, and it was 29 again.

Six Arts students have some skills.

Continue to read, all of them are 29, and Zhao Zhen found that they were all wrong about the same question.

This time Zhao Zhen is not calm, is his question so powerful? Stumped a whole bunch of people?

Zhao Zhen was suspicious, he took the question, picked up the pen himself, counted it twice, looked back at the answer, and instantly turned red!

Don't bring such!

The answer is wrong!

Zhao Zhen couldn't complain, 30 students of the six arts, 30 questions, all right!

Oh my God, this gap is too obvious!

Wang Gongchen couldn't help it on the side, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there may be a suspicion of leaking the topic!" ”

Ouyang Xiu sneered, "Xianggong Wang, you can't help but underestimate the students of the Six Arts, right?" If it's really leaked, why didn't you copy the answer together? ”

Zhao Zhen coughed twice, his old face flushed, "This is what I asked them to prepare last night, a total of 500 questions, I took 30 of them, all the questions are in my bedroom, and I am staring at every step." And in order to prevent leakage of questions, I did not have people transcribe, nor did I print the test papers in advance...... In this way, it is impossible to leak the question! ”

Zhao Zhen suddenly looked at the students of the Six Arts, and his eyes suddenly became hot!

"All the little Aiqing are unparalleled in arithmetic, and I am very relieved! In time, it will become a great tool, and I have found 30 prime ministers for the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Uncle Zhao was emotional, and he didn't choose what to say, which made Han Qi's old face black!

There are 30 of them at once, can I even sit in this position?

Han Qi was full of anger, but then he almost fainted.

Among the students of the Six Arts, there was a kid with a very long face, who laughed and said: "Your Majesty, what are these questions, the entrance exam of the Six Arts is more difficult than this, and being proficient in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is the level of the preparatory class of the Six Arts!" ”

Zhao Zhen was even more surprised, he just heard that the Six Arts Academy was very good at arithmetic, but to what extent, outsiders didn't know.

Zhao Zhen estimated that they were just proficient in all kinds of calculations, but now that they look at it, it's not like that at all! This Six Arts School is really famous!

"Fan Aiqing, Yan Aiqing, you guys are so bitter!"

Yan Shu hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister intends to deceive, but no one in the world attaches importance to arithmetic, and he looks at the general outline of everything, but he is unwilling to be more serious...... The minister was in Pingxian County, and he had witnessed that the tax department personnel in the field had calculated for one night because of a string of money, and it was by virtue of this strength that Pingxian County contributed nearly 7 million yuan in taxes every year. Kaifeng Mansion is only tens of millions, not to mention that Kaifeng also has salt, iron, tea, wine and other monopolies, otherwise, the commercial tax is not as much as Pingxian. The old minister dared to say that although the tax revenue of my Great Song Dynasty was the highest in all dynasties, the amount of loss was also not small, all because the tax collectors did not learn the same calculations, and they got by. ”

Today, the two old ministers are also out of the way, and what they said is not polite at all, and they point to the shortcomings. Xu is they also know that this opportunity has passed, and if they want to go to the Golden Palace to talk, they can't do it.

Yan Shu is completely full of firepower, bluntly talking about big disadvantages, and unceremoniously.

"Your Majesty, from the perspective of an old minister, governing the place is nothing more than money and grain, criminal names, food and salary, river work and other matters, none of which are inseparable from actuarial calculations. However, the imperial court selected scholars who only understood the Confucian scriptures, and they were rarely involved in arithmetic and law, so they could only hire guests and rely on their subordinates to do things...... These accounts have to be counted on the imperial court, and the old ministers secretly think that if they don't improve the arithmetic ability of officials, they don't understand business, they don't understand finance, and they can't be local officials at all! ”

Zhao Zhen looked at the answer sheet of the new science and technology jinshi, and then looked at the results of the six arts students, it was really a slap in the face!

He turned to the ministers and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, what do you think? ”
