Life always has to go on, even if you don't get bad in the exam, you still have to cry and grab the ground the day before, and when the sun rises, you still hurry to the exam room. After all, no one wants to pass up this opportunity. Some people have waited too long and spent their youth studying hard in the cold window, in order to one day be able to be named on the gold list.

There were several long queues in the Gongyuan today, and the later candidates were a little puzzled, how could this line up. After inquiring back and forth, I felt a sigh in my heart, this Yang Fan has a lot of tricks, and today is directly the interview, which makes the hearts of the candidates who were originally going to write an article seriously for the last time collapse again.

What Yang Fan held was the stack of second-pass candidates selected yesterday.

"You're just Jinwen?"

"Exactly."

Yang Fan glanced at the article he made on the first day and said, "Tell me, why is this related to politics and morality and taxation?" "This man still has patches on his clothes, and it seems that his family is not very good.

"Lord Hou, since ancient times, the harsh government has been fiercer than the tiger. Zi said that for the government to be virtuous, it is to be benevolent and virtuous to settle the people, this tax is too heavy, and the people are not happy, so naturally there is no virtue. Therefore, I thought that with the reduction of taxes, the people would be able to live a stable and prosperous life, so that the saints could rule with their hands and the world would be peaceful. ”

"Hanging hands? Then I ask you, most of the people have no place to stand, and if this tax is reduced, what will happen if the landlords still exploit the tenants, or if the officials are corrupt? ”

"This ......" Jin Wen was suddenly asked, and some couldn't react, indeed, if you want to say that, Zhu Youzhen can be cured with his hands, such nonsense can't be said. Yang Fan's rhetorical question, he couldn't get up. This is also the problem that Yang Fan is most worried about at the moment. is afraid that his hands and eyes will not reach the point of the sky, and the implementation of this new policy, one set on the stage and one set behind the scenes, it will be a cheat.

He stumbled for a long time, and suddenly raised his head. "This must be transformed with Confucian thought. The son once said that if a gentleman learns the Tao, he loves others, and the villain learns the Tao, and it is easy to make ......"

Yang Fan immediately stopped, it would be meaningless to talk about this set of fiction any longer, so he said, "Okay." Your exam is over, go back and wait for news, next one. Fang Lumin. ”

……

……

One by one, some are long, some are short, and Yang Fan's questions are also various, but the most is to examine the ideas of how these scholars become officials. Some of the answers, some of them, really made Yang Fan feel, "Young man." Once the imagination is unleashed, miracles can be created. ”

There are a lot of ideas. Even Yang Fan felt very novel, such as separating the Metropolitan Procuratorate from the administrative system and establishing a supervision system, instead of protecting officials and officials. Yang Fan graded those who passed the first exam. At the general level, they are all given C, and some can justify themselves. If ambition can be seen from the tone and article, it will be given three grades from B to B.

"Next, Li Yuhuan."

"Hello sir!"

Yang Fan's face remained unchanged and asked, "You have the highest score among the hundred or so papers." ”

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment."

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "I didn't mean to praise you. You scored seventy-nine points. It's a pity that it's one point less than the goal I set for you. If it's past eighty minutes, I'll give you a first class, but now, I can only give you a second class. That's it, you can go back. ”

"Sir, shouldn't you ask something?"

Yang Fan had already written the rank with a red pen and said, "Next, Zhou Sheng." ”

Li Yuhuan pursed her lips, looked up and asked, "Is it because I didn't listen to Mr.?" He turned, his eyes surprisingly calm, and walked slowly outside. Yang Fan still looked down at the scroll, and after half a ring, he raised his head and asked, "Zhou Sheng, right?" Talk about your views on the current war situation, and how do you think we can make my Ming fighter better? ”

"I think that there are not many soldiers, but more valuable than fine. At the beginning of the battle of Hou Ye Dalinghe, if the 10,000 Guanning iron cavalry did not hide in the army of General Wu, it is estimated that even Jinzhou would be lost, which shows that the elite soldiers are worth thousands of troops and horses. Although there are many of my great open firearms, there is a shortage of elites. In the next from southern Fujian, I have seen Xiyi artillery fire, Furlong machine, bird gun, are slightly better, but our Fujian anti-Japanese firearms, most of them follow the Hongwu years handed down from the straight-bore ignition guns, far less than those Xiyi foreign guns and foreign cannons. This man of the same age as Yang Fan became more and more energetic, and it seemed that he had long wanted to tell others what he said.

Yang Fan raised his eyebrows, "Then you think we should learn from those Xiyi to make muskets?" ”

"Of course, make use of your strengths and make up for your weaknesses, where you can't do it, you should learn, there is nothing to be ashamed of. He was a slave in Liaodong, and he was just a bow and arrow and a horse at the beginning, and then he didn't steal my Ming Dynasty's firearms, and now he dares to be so arrogant. As long as it is well equipped, the war in Liaodong is far less difficult than imagined. ”

Yang Fan had already written a word A on the paper of the first test, and said: "Then you say, it's not difficult, how is it not difficult?" ”

"Our Daming is rich in mineral deposits, if we can learn the firearms of Xiyi and cast them. When the time comes, we can beat Jiannu, but Jiannu can't beat us, this war, Master Hou, do you say you can still lose? ”

Yang Fan nodded and said, "Yes, your idea is very good, next one." He added another word to the back of A. Organized and able to know what you want, this is a qualified handsome talent. Sun Chengzong understood what he wanted in this Jinning defense line, that is, to hold the lost territory that had been recovered, and then encroach on it step by step. However, because Nurhachi and Huang Taiji were too fierce a few years ago, and the court was dim during the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong's fear of Jiannu was also imprinted in his heart, and he only dared to defend it, but did not dare to attack. For fear that if you make a mistake in copying a move, you will lose all the games.

The third test was finally successfully concluded, and Yang Fan also completed the last interview tiredly, and completed the appointment of the new science and technology jinshi this time, and sent the high dive who was already waiting outside the Gong Academy into the palace. Shi Heng saw the candidates walking out of the Tribute Academy one by one, and his face was gloomy. From entering the palace yesterday to today, I haven't seen Zhu Youzhen. Even the last dynasty was postponed for three days by taking advantage of the imperial examination and the spring festival, so in these three days, no one who wanted to see Zhu Youzhen could see him.

Because, even Zhu Youzhen couldn't figure out what Yang Fan's imperial examination reform meant this time, but he just said that Yang Fan would personally go to the court to explain it clearly after the imperial examination. After Gao Qian explained Zhu Youzhen's will, he took the list of scholars for the imperial examination and rushed to the palace. These top three hand-picked have to be done by Zhu Youzhen, so the papers of the first and second exams were also transferred to the palace and waited for the circle to be read.

At dusk, Yang Fan rubbed his temples, the spring breeze was blowing, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he had completed the exam, and got into the carriage a little briskly and drove towards the palace. (To be continued......)
