Chapter 40 The Variety of Candidates
Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yingchuan, where the style of study is the strongest, many students have gone to Jingzhou in order to take refuge. The land of Jingxiang originally had a strong style of learning, and now it has become the place where the style of study is the most prosperous in China, even Huiji County can only look up.
Naturally, among the students who came to take the exam this time, Jingzhou candidates also had the most.
"JCDecaux? Why isn't Juda with you? Gongyan (Jiang Wan's words) looked at it when he heard it, but said unexpectedly.
"Juda (Xiang Lang) has been conquered by the imperial court, so naturally he won't go south with me!" Degao (Han Song's expression) said with a smile.
"In this way, isn't Xiang Pet also requisitioned by the imperial court?" Cheng Ming (Pan Junbiao) couldn't help but exclaim.
Jingzhou Xiang Lang, has the talent of the prime minister; His younger brother Xiang Pet, both civil and military, both of them are handsome for a while. Xiang Lang is only in his twenties this year, but he didn't expect that he had been requisitioned by the imperial court.
"Haha, the Xiang family is a pair of heroes, and it is naturally impossible for the imperial court to recruit only one of them." Han Song said with a smile, "But I saw Wen Wei (Fei Yi) and Xiu Zhao (Dong Yun) and the two of them, it seems that in this scientific expedition, our competition is fierce!" ”
"Degao doesn't know anything......" Hearing this, Jiang Wan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Ma's Wuchang, Bochang, Zhongchang and Shuchang are also here, and I heard that they also brought 'Baimei' and Youchang over, planning to enroll in Huiji Academy." ”
Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best, and they are talking about the fourth Ma Liang. Now he is only ten years old, but his eyebrows are already white, Ma Liang has been sensitive and studious since he was a child, and he will never forget it, even if he is Pang Degong and Song Zhong, they all say that he will come out in the future.
Not to mention the young Ma Tan, Yunwen Yunwu, but at the age of five, he has already shown a very good talent in cultivation, and many people say that he will definitely be able to condense the innate Qi before the age of ten.
"Do you know how many people will be admitted to this scientific expedition? I can see that people from Yingchuan and even Yizhou have come over! Jiang Wan asked.
"I don't know, I only know that there are more than 5,000 people who participated in the scientific examination this time, and there are more than 5,000 people from as far away as Youzhou, and there are many students from Huiji Academy who have graduated this year, fortunately, I heard that Huiji Academy not only cultivates literati, but also cultivates military generals, and military generals will go to serve in the army after graduation, and only those civil servants will come to participate in the scientific examination." Han Song smiled and shook his head.
He has also seen candidates in Yizhou, and there are many talented ones, among which there is an ugly-looking guy with the best literary talent, who seems to be called Zhang Song. It's just that he doesn't fit in with other Yizhou candidates, but if he looks like that, it's no wonder, right?
"Five thousand people, that's really a thousand troops crossing the single-plank bridge!" Pan Jun couldn't help but exclaim.
"This bookstore is not Wanling, and it is crowded with students from all over the world? There are not enough books to sell, and if you come in a batch, you will be bought, and the books here are really cheap, even if you don't pass the exam, this time it will not be in vain. Jiang Wan sighed.
"With Gongyan's talent, it's not kind to say such things!" Han Song immediately ridiculed when he heard this.
"No, no, no, Jiang is just telling the truth." Jiang Wan smiled, "There are three days left, if Degao is free, we might as well discuss and consolidate our knowledge?" ”
"Good!" Han Song also had this intention, "I'll call Wen Wei and Xiu Zhao over when I go back!" ”
Historical celebrities are inevitably historical celebrities, without outstanding talent and talent, it is impossible to reach a high position just by relying on the shadow of the family. Not to mention Jiang Wan and Zhang Song and others, just to say that Xu Shu, who is reading silently in the corner of the inn, is by no means simple.
"Yuan Zhi, what do you look at so relish?" A voice came, and a figure appeared beside Xu Shu not long after.
"It turned out to be Gongwei (Meng Jianbiao)? The Lee's numbers in this "Counting" are a bit interesting, and I can't help but be fascinated! Xu Shu raised his head and saw that it was Meng Jian, who was also studying under Mr. Shuijing, so he closed the book and handed it to him.
"Speaking of which, since this number was compiled by Chu Gong, I am afraid that this scientific examination will also take this test. We have a better understanding of the scriptures than others, but in terms of arithmetic, I am afraid that compared with others, we are slightly insufficient. Meng Jian sighed.
"So Xu is not planning to gnaw on this book for the next three days, and see how much he can gnaw before the exam!" Xu Shu nodded, in fact, even if this number is not used for scientific research, it can still be used in many places.
There are many talents who have the same headache as them, and when they came to Wanling, they realized this when they came into contact with "Counting", so many people were gnawing on the book "Counting", and even in order to hold stinky feet, they didn't even find a way to read through "Pinyin" and "Punctuation". This scene is not much different from the scientific research scene in the early Tang Dynasty.
"I heard that the chief examiner of this scientific examination is Cai Yong, and there are also Zhang Zhao, Yu Tuo, Zhang Mo and Xun Di as examiners." Meng Jian told the news he heard, "Now the threshold of the five examiners has been trampled by the visiting students. ”
"Zhang Zhao is a Confucian in Xuzhou, not to mention Cai Yong, the Yu family is a big family in Huiji County, and Xun Di is from the Yingchuan Xun family, but who is this Zhang Mo?" Xu Shu couldn't help but be curious.
The rise of this person is also worthy of praise from outsiders, it is rumored that he is from Si Di's small family, and he is not even a poor family. Later, when he joined the army, when Duke Chu first served as a general, Zhang Mo was the leader of the team under his command at that time. Now that he is the commander of the Guards, he can be regarded as the descendant of the Duke of Chu, and later he worshiped under the Duke of Chu, so he should be regarded as supervising this scientific expedition on behalf of the Duke of Chu, right? "Meng Jian also has some means, and in a short moment, he has already given Zhang Mo's information to people. The meat is almost there.
After a pause, he continued to add: "By the way, I heard that he married Cai Yong's eldest daughter Cai Yan as his wife!" ”
"Listen to you, he's just a reckless man, how can he be favored by everyone Cai?" Xu Shu was also immediately interested.
"The main thing is to learn later!" Meng Jian said, "After hearing that he came to Huiji County, Zhang Mo studied literature and martial arts, studied diligently every day, and was both civil and military for ten years, and for a while it seemed that the Duke of Chu also appointed him to be fully responsible for the agricultural affairs of Huiji County, and he seemed to be very good at agricultural affairs." ”
"There are many sages in the world, but most of them don't have the opportunity to learn." Xu Shu sighed, before he put himself into the study under Mr. Shuijing, he was just an ordinary hero, and he thought about fighting the sword to enjoy the rivers and lakes, only to know that martial arts was just a sideshow, and only by learning the means of these ten thousand enemies, or being full of economy, could he save the country and save the people.
If Mr. Shuijing hadn't given him the opportunity to learn, he was afraid that he would have been unknown to everyone.
"Do you think we're going to visit them?" Meng Jian proposed.
"There is no need, if the so-called scientific examination has to be ranked by visiting the examiner, then what is the difference between such a scientific examination and the filial piety system? If you don't need this, then with your and mine's talents, why are you afraid of failing to pass the exam? Xu Shu said slowly, "Not to mention, Gongwei, you didn't come to the exam in the first place." ”
"Shhh Meng Jian looked around warily.
"Peace of mind, I chose this place to read, because it is a remote place that no one notices." Xu Shu smiled faintly, he has been a ranger for a few years, and the benefits are highlighted here, whether the people around him pay attention to this place or not, they can't hide it from him.
"But it's better not to be presumptuous!" Meng Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Early the next morning, a special official came to inform everyone that Li Ming met with all the candidates in front of the government office, and wanted to encourage everyone, and at the same time explain the matters to be paid attention to in the examination.
