Each candidate has three exam papers, three grading, for a total of nine marks.

According to the selection plan, under normal circumstances, only candidates who have obtained one or more first-class assessments will be considered to have passed the assessment and entered the subsequent interview process.

Fan Zhongyan and the other three have different specialties and personalities, and their emphasis and preferences are also different when evaluating the test papers. Although the evaluation of the same test paper may be different, it is precisely because of this that those candidates who have a skill can be given a chance.

The three of them are extremely rigorously marked, and only extremely good papers will be rated as first-class.

Shangguan Wan'er counted all the test papers, and there were five people who received one to three first-class assessments, and another three people who received five first-class assessments. In other words, there are three people tied for the first place in the written test!

It is extremely difficult to obtain a single A rating, and the ability of all three to achieve five A ratings is evident.

Although there will be an interview later, Liu Mang still hopes to have a ranking.

"Let's divide one, two, three." Liu Mang suggested.

The three tied students were awarded three first-class evaluations in the three categories of economic history, policy theory, and specialty, and two first-class evaluations in the other two categories.

After consulting Fan Zhongyan and others, on the first candidate, the three of them agreed that the candidate who was proficient in the calendar was better.

and the other two, one is familiar with the scriptures and history, and the articles are gorgeous; Another who is proficient in Chinese law and writes a strategy about the disadvantages of the current Chinese law.

Regarding the ranking of these two people, it is difficult for Fan Zhongyan and the three of them to agree on it.

The eldest grandson Wuji proposed: "The ranking of these two people, please be too sure." ”

"My personal decision is unfair." Liu Mang attaches great importance to this exam, "Otherwise, let's vote." Wan'er also read through their test papers and cast one vote, lest four votes have to vote, and there will be two votes to two. ”

"Very good!"

Liu Mang is the master, and he sincerely proposed democratic voting, which is a respect for the examination and the three markers, and of course Fan Zhongyan and others will not object.

Liu Mang is more interested in the candidate who has outstanding experience and history. Needless to say, Liu Mang's own literary talent is just able to read and write, and it has nothing to do with literary talent. Although the existing subordinate plots are all powerful in the past dynasties, except for Fan Zhongyan, most of them are not known for their historical articles.

Unexpectedly, the result of the secret ballot was that the candidate who was proficient in Chinese law received three votes.

Although Liu Mang prefers candidates for economics and history, he respects everyone's opinions more. It's just that he noticed that when the results were announced, the corners of Shangguan Wan'er's mouth hooked evilly. This girl must vote for the Chinese law candidate.

"The top three and finalists have been decided, let's announce the next list."

Wan'er took the comparison table of numbers and lists, and announced the names of the finalists from back to front.

“…… Third place, Guoxin City, Zhongshan, Jizhou, Su Yi ......"

"Oh? It's him?! ”

"General Dingfang's brother!"

"Huh! This person's style is really good! Fan Zhongyan is good at poetry and writing, and he especially admires those who are outstanding in writing.

“…… Second place, Jinyang, Taiyuan County, Shi Shangkuan......"

"Huh! It's the brother of General Shi Wansui! ”

"Haha, General Shi is virtuous and does not avoid relatives, this time he recommended his own brother, he is really a talent!"

"The first place in this assessment is ......" Wan'er smiled and stretched her voice, "Jizhou Zhao Guo Xiangguo, Guo Shoujing!" ”

The name Guo Shoujing seems to have heard of it. Although the bronze mirror has not yet reacted, Liu Mang is almost certain that this person is a special talent summoned by himself.

There were eight people who entered the interview session, and Wan'er checked their names and numbers one by one, and made a list and handed it to Liu Mang.

Referring to the recommendation materials reported from all over the country, Liu Mang carefully checked the shortlist.

"Huh?" Liu Mang soon discovered a problem. "Mr. Xiwen, why are all the finalists the children of big families?"

Fan Zhongyan bowed down and replied, "My subordinates have expected it. The state is deserted, the population is sparse, there are very few academies, and the people who are full of learning rarely come here to open a school, so there are few people who are literate and literate from the poor families, and there are very few people who can be recommended for reference by various places. Even if there are three or five children of the poor family for reference, they are far less proficient than the children of the family in terms of scripture and history. ”

What Fan Zhongyan said was right.

However, in addition to supplementing local officials, this open selection of talents also has a purpose, that is, to open the door for the vast number of children from poor families to enter the official career.

If a poor child is not shortlisted, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the influence of the selection.

"Can you be flexible and see if there are any available people among the children of the poor family?"

"My subordinates are in favor." Li Yan knows the suffering of the people at the bottom best.

Although Liu Mang's suggestion does not conform to the provisions of the program for selecting talents, it focuses on the overall situation.

Fan Zhongyan and Eldest Sun Wuji both nodded in agreement.

There are less than 10 children from poor families recommended to participate in the assessment from all over the country, and most of them have low academic knowledge, and most of them are only rated C in the history test papers. It would be unfair to force an exceptional hiring.

Li Yan said: "My subordinates remembered, in the specialty examination paper, although the writing was rough, the content written was extremely practical, and the title seemed to be called "On Pigs". ”

"Yes!" Fan Zhongyan said, "This article is quite simple, if it weren't for the poor writing, it would be rated as first-class." ”

"Hahaha, yes." The eldest grandson Wuji also smiled, "This person has a lot of experience in raising domestic pigs, and the text also lists how much it costs to raise a domestic pig, how much labor it takes to raise it, and after it is raised, it can harvest a few catties of meat, a few feet of skin, and even how much land can be nourished by the accumulated fertilizer, all of which are listed one by one." It's just that the words are too verbose and the expression is not very clear, and the subordinates also gave a second class. ”

"Hahaha, you guys have also noticed that article, Wan'er and I are still talking about it."

Wan'er had already picked out the test paper, and Fan Zhongyan and the three of them all rated the article as B. "This person is recommended by Ping Tao Kou Du Post, surnamed Zhang Mingjun, and the word filial piety first."

"Zhang Jun? Is it the last candidate to hand in the paper? ”

"It's this person. Kou Duyou recommended that although the Zhang family was poor, they saved money and used simple food, so Zhang Jun studied intermittently for two years. This son is very filial and good at farming, so Kou Du Post put him on the list of recommendations. ”

"Hahaha, it's a talent recommended by Kou Laoxi, no wonder!" Liu Mang said with a smile, "I think so, I will include this person in the shortlist and set an example for the children of the poor family." ”

"Yes." Fan Zhongyan said, "However, this person's knowledge is too low, and his subordinates suggest that after being hired, he may be urged to step up his studies." ”

Liu Mang nodded: "This incident also reminds us that we need to consider the education of the state." ”

……

The shortlist is confirmed, and the next step is to announce the shortlist and prepare for tomorrow's interview.

On the way back to rest, Liu Mang asked Wan'er: "Wan'er, I thought you must like outstanding writing, why didn't you vote for him?" ”

Wan'er pouted. "When this person handed in the papers, he behaved very frivolously, and Wan'er didn't like such people."

Liu Mang didn't speak.

Someone reacted before, saying that although Su Dingfang's younger brother Su Dingguo was talented and learned, he was young and frivolous.

Such a person, if he is not trained and restrained early, it is difficult to become a big weapon......
