The western border is hot, from Chengdu to Bingzhou, a chaotic battlefield, Shu, Hanzhong, Liang, Wei, Wu have invested a lot of troops, you count me as a plan, the fight does not stop, there is no moment.

However, in Jinling City in Wu State, the exam was a little hot.

The imperial examination in Jinling City, the feast of scholars, throbbed the hearts of all parties, so many outstanding scholars gathered together The picture is rare in the world, and even many great Confucian relatives rushed to Jinling City to watch the battle.

If you want to say that the scholars gather together, whether it is Jiangdong Academy or Jinling Academy, there are also such scenes, and there are more than 10,000 students in Jinling Academy, but it is not to say.

However, the situation of the imperial examination is different from that of the academy, and those who dare to participate in the imperial examination have some literary skills, and most of them are outstanding scholars from all over the world, which is a big gathering of elite scholars.

This time, because the imperial examination is only a transition, there is a group of students who have been recommended and directly passed the finals.

And the preliminary examination is for the selection and the list of students who are recommended in the back, and the list for participating in the real imperial examination.

The preliminary examination lasts for two days, and the exam questions are of course not the extremely perverted eight-strand essay of the Ming Dynasty, simply put, it is that the examiner announces a topic, and then the candidate writes an article.

There is no explicit rule, and it can be used freely, which is similar to the later essay, which is a thesis, and then a point of view.

In this preliminary examination, the topic of the first day was on the old policy, and the topic on the second day was on the new policy of Wu State.

Although it has been a little time since Wu Guo's reform of the law, and now the New Deal has basically begun to stabilize, Sun Quan still wants to see how these scholars view the development of the New Deal.

The so-called Wu State New Deal is based on the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department. The court system with the Imperial History Observatory as the core and the six departments and twenty-four divisions as the support is implemented very well, but there must be shortcomings.

Nine out of ten of the positions of officials come from the scholars, so the views of the scholars. Crucially, Sun Quan just wanted to know how they felt about the New Deal.

A thousand people, a thousand opinions, and listening to them will make it clear.

At sunset, the exam had ended, and at this time, students came out one by one and walked down the examination room of the stone mountain. Start exchanging your exam experience.

"In this exam, the topic is actually about the court system, the king's topic is really bold, and he is not afraid that we will scold him in the article!"

"The king is open-minded, how can he be so stingy!"

"Brother, how did you do this time?"

"I'm still sure!"

"Alas, I can't do it, for the new policy of the court. I don't know much about it, so I can't write anything good! ”

"Actually, this is just the first exam. Only those who can really make the list can enter the real imperial examination, and discuss success or failure with the heroes of the world! ”

"The real top students are recommended by the major academies to enter the imperial examination, and they don't need to take the preliminary examination at all!"

"In fact, there is a preliminary exam, and it is already the king who gave us the opportunity. I'm sure I'll make it this time! ”

“……”

Among the thousands of students, their expressions were different, some were obviously very depressed, and some were excited. There are also some who linger with confidence and pride.

Under the remnant sun, Sun Quan's figure stood on a pavilion on the stone mountain, he put his hands behind his back, and looked at the students who walked down one by one, and the corners of his mouth outlined a smug smile.

"Thriving readers!"

This kind of scene is similar to the scene of the college entrance examination in later generations, and it is also a situation he wants to see, but unfortunately, he can't put mathematics subjects into the imperial examination now.

After he turned Arabic numerals into weights, the development of weights has been rapid, and now many colleges have opened manager subjects.

However, if mathematics wants to develop, it will take some time, the Han Dynasty has inherited Confucianism for hundreds of years, and in ten years and eight years, Sun Quan has not been able to reverse the scholar with Confucianism as the core.

"You kid did a good thing!"

Cai Yong didn't know when he appeared beside Sun Quan, and followed Sun Quan's gaze and looked at these energetic students with some relief.

"Huh!" Sun Quan smiled: "The first imperial examination, it can be regarded as a happy event to have such a situation, Dad, don't keep a straight face!" ”

The old man looked at him with a straight face, as if he owed him 98 million, and it was rare to see his smile.

"The old man never thought that one day he would see such a prosperous scene, and he is so lucky to be a scholar!"

At this time, Cai Yong's old face did not hide his comfortable smile.

"Dad, this is just the beginning!" Sun Quan said proudly: "I, Sun Zhongmou, will do it one day, no one in the world will go hungry, and everyone in the world will have a book to read!" ”

"If there is such a day, the old man will be blind when he dies!"

Cai Yong heard this, his eyes were boiling, in his life, there have been countless ups and downs, and many things can be seen, even if he was forcibly taken back to Jiangdong by Sun Quan and missed the appointment with Wang Yun, now he has seen it, the only obsession is to be able to let more people read.

"Dad, you're still young, you can't say such angry things!" Sun Quan said with a smile, Zheng Xuan can't get out of bed now, and it is estimated that he will run out of oil and lamps in the past year, and the only Confucian he can handle now is Cai Yong.

"Stinky boy, old man, I'm already in my sixtieth year, if I live for a few years in Jiangdong Academy, you stinky boy dare to find me out." The old man glanced at him and said coldly, now he is the only one who dares to shout at Sun Quan like this.

"Dad, as the saying goes, those who can work harder, I can't help it, isn't it?" Sun Quan smiled, he didn't do this kindly, and even Sister Cai resented him a little: "That's it, Dad, if you cultivate an heir who can resist the Education Department, I will send you back to Jiangdong Academy for retirement!" ”

Now that the new policy has just been implemented, Wu Guo's background is not large, and it is unrealistic to let a director of the Department of Education climb up step by step from below.

can only recruit people who can resist the banner, but in this regard, Sun Quan does not have too many candidates.

Don't look at the fact that there are many scholars in Wu Guo now, but if you want to find a few who can become the pillars of the court, there are really few of them.

"Bastard, you still kneel and knock nine times, are you cursing the old man to my death?"

Cai Yong has developed a habit over the years. You must not give Sun Zhongmou a good face, because he can always make his short life angry for several years every time.

"Slip of the tongue, complete slip of the tongue, am I not showing respect for you?" Sun Quan was speechless, he said the wrong thing again.

"If you want to say that you can carry the banner of the Education Department, the old man has a candidate in his heart. It depends on whether you, the king, are willing to part with love! ”

Cai Yong glared at him before he said leisurely.

"Tell me about it!"

"Cheng Dao!"

"Editor-in-chief of Jiangdong Daily, Cheng Dao!" Sun Quan was a little surprised: "Can he do it?" ”

"You're underestimating him!"

Cai Yong sneered and said: "If you say that there is a knowledgeable and respected Confucian, there is no shortage in Wu Guo, but there are really not many people who can adapt to the court and advance and retreat freely, whether this person is in terms of knowledge or character." can all adapt to the position of the Department of Education! ”

Being in the court, he couldn't help himself, and since he took the Department of Education, he has also forced himself to lower his temper a lot, otherwise he won't be able to adapt to the environment of Huan Hai at all.

No matter how much he is holding his identity, after all, he is the director of the Department of Education, and in officialdom, he must fit the rules of officialdom. After all, the Department of Education is under the cabinet and the ministry, if he holds his own identity. It's easy to offend people, Hades is aggressive, ghosts are difficult, and the operation of a division has a close relationship with all aspects.

So if you want to lead the Department of Education, you don't just have to have intellectual fame. also knows how to be an official, and he is a little optimistic about Cheng Dao in this regard.

"I'll talk to him!"

Sun Quan pondered for a moment before he said.

Originally, he also wanted to use Cheng Dao's card to open up a news department to manage the increasingly prosperous public opinion circle, but now it seems. Cheng Dao's card can't be kept.

After all, the old man is old, and if he is optimistic about an heir, he can't stop him.

————————————————

After the first test, the readers of Jinling City began to look forward to the list of the list.

However, the results did not come out so quickly, after all, the results had to be corrected by Cai Yong, Kuai Liang and others and submitted to Sun Quan for verification, which took time.

On this day, in the imperial study, Sun Quan was diligently combing through the books presented from all over the country, the situation in the west was unpredictable, and the fight was hot, but now it has nothing to do with him.

There is no need for him to concentrate his mind on them, the rise of a country is by no means by calculating their strength and becoming strong, the most important thing is his own strength after all.

As long as Wu is strong enough, he can push the Central Plains and sweep the world.

So taking advantage of the chaotic battle on the west side, he just used it to clean up the internal affairs of Wu, and this year's time for official attendance was up, and the officials began to check the attendance of officials.

"Yuan sigh, this time for attendance, Lone plans to calculate it with their new accounts and old accounts, and the officials will definitely offend people!"

Sun Quan raised his head, glanced at Gu Yong, who was standing in front of the bookcase, and said.

"There's no way around it!"

Gu Yong, the secretary of the ministry, heard this, his face was a little bitter, but he was also mentally prepared, he smiled, and said: "When we change the law, we seek stability, so although many officials know that there is a problem, but their position has not moved. ”

The attendance department is one of the 24 divisions, responsible for the attendance of officials, and now has begun to form attendance teams to rush to various places, this time he understands in his heart that Sun Quan is taking advantage of the opportunity of attendance to replace the old batch of old fritters officials.

"You can handle it!" Sun Quan asked: "You know, these officials have more or less something to do behind them!" ”

He doesn't want to make a big move, but what should be replaced can't be tolerated, for the officials, the vitality of the people, he has to be cautious, only the officials are clear, the people can be stable, the economy can develop.

"The king, please rest assured, the promotion of the officials in charge of the ministry should be fair and just, this time, no matter who intercedes, it will not be easy!" Gu Yong said coldly.

He still wants to improve, so naturally he doesn't want to give Sun Quan a bad impression on this matter.

The position of the first assistant of the cabinet is now a position under one person in the court and above ten thousand people, Zhang Zhao will retire sooner or later, whether it is Zhou Yu, the head of the household, or himself, the secretary of the ministry, they are all staring very closely.

Zhou Yu competes with Zhang Zhao's opposite, and he competes with Zhang Zhao's successor, but this premise is that he must do his own things well.

"This matter, it's not just ordinary attendance, I want to withdraw a group of people, regardless of the county order or the county guard, including the six departments, the twenty-four divisions, as long as the corpse is vegetarian, it should be withdrawn or withdrawn, this is also to deter the court, glow with some new vitality, don't let them think that the chair under their buttocks is so stable, of course, it will definitely suffer a backlash from some people, you cooperate with Yushitai!"

Sun Quan suggested the way.

"The meaning of the king, with the results of attendance and the Yushitai at the same time!" Gu Yong's eyes lit up, this time, he could breathe a sigh of relief, with Yu Shitai to carry the pot, he offended a lot less.

"Zhang Hong's Yushitai has been a little silent since the law change, and I'm afraid he also needs a chance to stand up!" Sun Quan said with a smile.

"Wechen knows how to do it!"

Gu Yong nodded. (To be continued......)
