Chapter 263 [Formal Examination] One and Two Together
The circle that Bai Dong painted on the log board really eliminated three adults, in fact, there could be more, but Bai Dong has the bottom line of three percent in his heart, and he will give some more students a chance, if he is serious, he can achieve his satisfaction, I am afraid that it will not even be fifty percent, then Yan Jian and Meng Ke will go crazy, Qi Diao Miao may wave his sword and rush to the podium, and the problem will become very strict.
As soon as the remaining two hundred or so students breathed a sigh of relief, the real exam came, and the veterans of the Bai family handed out the test papers. The old fritters in the army look at the students' eyes very strangely, like looking at a group of fish and sheep on the chopping board; This made Mu Xijing very uncomfortable, there were already many masters around Bai Dong, and one of them was even married by him as a wife, and now with these elite veterans, he was afraid that revenge would be even more distant.
Secretly gritted his teeth, Mu Xijing opened the test paper, only looked at one question, and his eyes were suddenly dull, what kind of bullshit question is this?
'There are nine monkeys riding in the tree, and you shoot an arrow at the tree, and one of the monkeys is shot down and dies, how many monkeys are left?' β
Such a simple question, children can figure it out, but they use it to test me? Mu Xijing was about to answer that it was eight monkeys, and suddenly an alarm rose in his heart, which was the sensing ability he had cultivated for many years on the dangerous prairie, and he suddenly looked back, only to see Zhao Ji's eyebrows locked, and the little face of the puff puff was full of serious expressions, and he was biting the pen and thinking seriously. Her teeth were so beautiful, snow-white, like two rows of fine shells.
"Bai Dong is so cunning, how can this question be so simple? This is not this kid's usual method, Mu Xijing. You can't be slack, you must think clearly! Shoot down one monkey, how can the rest of the monkeys still stay in the tree? So the correct answer is that there is not a single one left. Cunning! It's so cunning! This kid is not human! β
Mu Xijing secretly sneered. After answering the first question, I began to watch the second question carefully-'You love your wife very much, and you love your wife very much, and they fall into the water at the same time, which one will you save first?' β
Mu Xijing clearly heard Zhao Ji's laughter, which sounded like the first song of Huang Li, and the old army walked over and wanted to interfere. But she glanced at her lightly, and the old fritter, who had experienced a hundred battles, was suddenly a little dazed, and according to the rules, she wanted to reprimand this female student. But she smiled so beautifully, and her eyes were so charming, that he really couldn't discipline him. Bai Dong waved his hand, he could understand Zhao Ji. I can also understand the hesitation of the old army.
Gan Sheng was quick to give an answer. "Of course it's to save my mother, I can remarry my wife, and there is only one mother."
Du Ming even more simply, 'It depends on which mother it is, if you give birth to me, you have to save it first, if it is my father's concubines, forget it, and if you die, there will be one less'
Zhao Ji's answer shows the strong self-confidence of the world's first beauty Dafang: 'If the wife who fell into the water is me, my husband will definitely come to save me first; If it was another woman, I thought he should save his mother first.
Mu Xijing was asking rhetorically, 'Do any of them know how to water?' β
There is no right answer to this question, which has made countless men in later generations gnash their teeth. Bai Dong wants to see that it is actually the hearts of the people, whether these students can answer from their hearts. It can be seen from the way of answering the question and the tone of the question, as long as it is sincere, it is a full score.
After two inexplicable questions, the following questions began to gradually become decent.
'A horse is to a stable what a man is to a stable, a cowshed. Second, the carriage. Three, housing. Fourth, the farm, five, the wooden building. Please choose the correct one from the five answers. β
Naturally, it's not a cowshed or a carriage, and the farm doesn't seem right, but is it a house or a wooden building? It all seems to make sense, but there is only one correct answer?
A seemingly simple, but actually extremely difficult question like this is completely the IQ test question of the cheating father of later generations, where have people in this era seen it? Even Zhao Ji, who has always been calm and beautiful, also made a difficulty, Xiaobei seems to have a grudge with the pen, biting and biting, how many scholars can see straight eyes, which invisibly increases the difficulty of the exam.
And there is more than one such topic, and one is more than a trick.
'A fork in the road leads to the nation of truth and the nation of lies, and now there are two men, one of whom is known to be of the kingdom of truth and the other of the nation of lies, and the man of the honest country will always tell the truth, and the man of the lying country will always tell lies. Now I want you to go to the country of lies, but I don't know which way to go, I need to ask these two people, how should I ask? Mind you, you don't know which of these two people is from the Honest Country, so don't think about it if you want to take advantage of it and ask the people of the Honest Country directly.'
"Oh my God, there has never been such a topic taught in the history of poetry and books, my head is going to crack!"
Not to mention ordinary scholars, even a few teachers had a big headache, and finally when the question was sent, it could be seen that this kid had some strange questions, but they were dumbfounded. Lao Yan Jian and Meng Ke studied for a long time before they could answer the first few questions, and they are currently pondering the question of the honest country and the lying country, Old Master Yan has come down, this is the weather at the beginning of spring.
Gan Sheng was completely dumbfounded this time and gave up directly; Mu Xijing and Zhao Ji are both bowing their heads and thinking hard; Bitter wine looked at Bai Dong and sighed; The grass has little stars in its eyes
The most calm is Wuli, who is now waving his pen like flying, answering this difficult question -- 'This problem should be solved in two steps: first, first ask the two of you which way can reach your country, then both of them must point to the country of honesty; Second, if you ask them which way they can't get to your country, they will both point to the country of lies. So that you will know the way to the lying country.'
This question seems simple, but it is actually a logical judgment question, which has nothing to do with knowledge and experience, only with judgment and IQ, Bai Dong's exam this time is to test the IQ and potential of students, if the IQ is not enough, forget it, Fengming Academy does not welcome you, why should you go.
Wu Yuan is obviously the one with the highest IQ among the reference students, so the first one finished answering the question, Zhao Ji then completed it, and then Mu Jing, Cao'er is also very fast, but the bitter wine is not done, I still can't think of it after thinking about it, she is a person with high emotional intelligence. IQ is a shortcoming.
If you can answer this kind of question, you can answer it, and if you can't answer it, it's useless to break your head, and many students who can't answer it can only shake their heads helplessly. Skip over to the next question.
There are many changes in the topics, whether it is to examine the heart, or to examine the conscience, or to examine the IQ and EQ, and even to the seemingly extremely difficult, but in fact it is very simple, that is, to examine the simple nature of the students, which is really full of tricks and varies. It was not these contestants who were most tormented, but the teachers, all of whom were so knowledgeable that they could speak well on the debate platform. But when it comes to being this kind of cheat, the topic may not be as good as grass. Lao Yanjian and Meng Ke were hit repeatedly, although they could barely finish it in the end, they felt a big loss. The more I started to look at Bai Dong, the more unpleasant it became.
When it comes to the last question, it is finally an examination of the meaning of the scriptures, and the topic is 'to state the advantages and disadvantages of a hundred schools of thought in one sentence, no more than 50 words.' β
This time, it was the turn of a genius like Wu Zhen to be dumbfounded, and he was good at math and logic problems. When it comes to the Hundred Schools of Thought, it is a mallet. The Yue royal family is from a good background, but how big is he before the royal family collapses? There are shortcomings in the way of learning.
Mu Xijing breathed a sigh of relief, and if there was divine help in his pen - 'the dispute between a hundred schools of thought, a hundred schools of thought will be good, and this will be beneficial; If the nations are unable to do so, and the scholars are distributed, if they are combined. Then the world is happy. β
He thought that he should finish this question as soon as possible, and when he looked up at Zhao Ji. found that they had already put away their pens and were putting down their green sleeves, covering their snow-white wrists.
"It's time, hand in the papers! If you can see your name on the list, then congratulations, you are a student of the college. We will decide how to charge the entrance fee according to the student's financial situation, and if the family is rich, the tuition fee will be very expensive; Those from poor families can enter the school for free and receive a 'scholarship' from the college, and those who have opinions can keep it, and cannot object! β
***
After the exam, which was very painful for the students, Bai Dong was about to quietly pull his wife and slip away, but he was dragged by Lao Yanjian, and several scholars surrounded him, all with unkind faces.
"All the teachers, the dean has to go home to read the papers"
Bai Dong is reminding these guys, I am the vice president, and you are the teacher. The academy also gives houses and money, and it is your duty to obey the superiors. Lao Yan Jian doesn't care what vice president you are or not vice president, he grabbed him and said, "Boy, where did you get these strange topics?" β
"Uh, it's really a kid who has been thinking about it for a long time, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with it, right? What the academy needs is the most potential students, not nerds who can only recite poems, books, spring and autumn periods, and the scriptures of a hundred schools, even if you want to oppose it, I will insist on it!
Lao Yan Jian glared at him for a long time, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Which one can't say well?" Seriously, when I first saw your questions, my old man strangled your heart, but after really concentrating on these topics, I found that these questions found a different way, and the test was not about knowledge and experience, but innate. Wonderful, wonderful! Poor learning is not a problem, but I'm most afraid of being a stupid person? The questions you selected for this set of questions are all smart people, my old man is not pedantic, of course, I hope that the smarter the students, the better you kid, every time there are amazing moves, but every time it seems to be reasonable, I don't know what kind of freak you are, right, the 'knowledge and obstacle you said' to Zhao Kang seems to be very reasonable, and none of the sons of the hundred schools have ever proposed it, is it also learned from your mentor Guiguzi? β
"Old Yan is bad, but this kind of insight is not something that can be learned, it should be based on one's own understanding."
Even in later generations, there is a strange phenomenon, the more highly educated, the higher the social status of the people, the more interested in the theory of Buddhism and Taoism, that is, because the theory of Buddhism and Taoism contains great wisdom, people without understanding will think that it is just a 'mouth cannon', and those who really have understanding will understand the great wisdom in it, especially the Buddhist doctrine. Of course, this is to say that Buddhism and Taoism are not Buddhism and Taoism that tempt people to burn incense and kowtow, one is a theoretical doctrine and the other is a secular religion, which needs to be carefully distinguished and must not be confused.
"Yes, it is to understand, and I admire Baizi even more because of this, I really don't know how you realized such a great truth when you were a weak crown? Knowing the obstacle, knowing the obstacle is not broken, I'm afraid it's rare to make great progress! Bai Zi seems to be talking about Zhao Kang, but in fact, isn't he reminding me to wait? β
Shen Dao looked at Bai Dong with a stern face, and desperately stroked his beard with his hands, his beard was not much, and it was already gray. Bai Dong was really worried that he would get rid of them all.
"So you kid still has such a mind?"
Being reminded by Shen Dao, Lao Yan Jian and the others also became strict, and a few guys looked up and down around Bai Dong. The people who look at it are furious, the most terrible thing is the lacquer carving, this scholar has always been a ranger's style, whenever he encounters any problem, he will pinch the scabbard to 'creak' sound, it is said that it has been replaced several times, and the Wen family wants to break the obstacle of knowledge. He, a guy who is both civil and military, is even more urgent.
"You deserve to be a contemporary scholar, otherwise how can the kid talk casually, how can he attract your thoughts? Not bad. To break through this obstacle, you need to meditate with your heart to have the possibility of enlightenment, so you should hurry up and do it. Bitter wine is waiting for me. I want to go home and read the papers."
Bai Dong turned his head and ran, don't wait for these guys to come to their senses, catch yourself and ask endless questions. In later generations, I don't know much about the things of the Buddhists, and it is more difficult to fool ordinary people, so it is more difficult to fool these people, so the farther away from them is better, and the longer the better, so that it seems to be superior and mysterious. It is said that this is what Shizun did back then, and he often liked to smile at the flowers. Mysterious to the extreme.
"What are you running? With such a strange topic, I'm afraid that those scholars will blame you, aren't you afraid that I will blame you? "I didn't do well in the bitter wine test, so now I am angry when I see Bai Dong and want to bite him, just like when I first went to the cave room.
Bai Dong subconsciously covered his shoulders and glared at Kujiu: "Your husband is so hard, do you still blame me?" β
"Am I going to be left behind? That's a shame. I don't care, Mr. Yang Zhu said that I was a good student, and now that Mr. has recruited those 'class masters', you will take advantage of his absence to bully me? In a word, sue sΓΉ whether I will be eliminated! β
"Yes, I've read your papers, and it's not at all. If you don't get eliminated, it's unfair to other students. β
"As you said, there is nothing fair in the world, and those who pursue fairness are not suitable for Fengming Academy. And now it's fair to me again? The more I listened to the bitter wine, the more bitter I became, and now I didn't just think about it, and began to open my bright red mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, but unfortunately it was too beautiful, no matter how I looked at it, it didn't look like an old witch, and it couldn't scare people.
"They are not my wives, I will tell them the truth? There is no absolute fairness in this world, but for my family, there is absolute fairness and justice, there is no outside, we have it at home, so they can not talk about fairness, you have to talk about it, because you are my wife. β
"I still don't understand, what kind of students are you looking for with so many strange questions? It's weird. β
"The first batch of students in Fengming Academy must be the elite of the elite, so I will only recruit a hundred people, and they are my best seeds. With them, the academy will have 1,000, 3,000, or even tens of thousands of students in the future, far more than Confucius, who claims to have 3,000 disciples. And these students will be talented, give me ten years, they can change the world! Don't tell anyone about this, including my mother and the white dragon, because I don't want them to worry, I only say to you, there is no fairness in this world now, and there will be no in the future, war and death, nobles and Li people make up this deformed world, I really want to change it, absolute fairness is impossible, is relative fairness not good? But I'm scared, I'm afraid that my strength is not enough, so I need help."
His stern expression made Kujiu nervous, and he unconsciously lowered his voice and said: "The king is your third brother, the old Qin people are your backing, and my husband is the most amazing person in the world, how can you be afraid?" β
"The greatest man in the world? Do you really think so? My current qiΔ is parasitic on the old Qin State, like a flea on a cow, now I make this cow very happy, it treats me very well, but if one day it is unhappy, then what? Your husband is a human, not a god, and if someone cuts it off, my head will also fall off. At some point, brotherhood may not be reliable, and the friendship between monarchs and ministers may be a joke, and the companion is like a tiger, although the third brother is the most righteous and humane tiger I have ever seen, but he is still a tiger after all. The most reliable ones are not ordinary students, but those students who are really in harmony with Mr. Blood, the same thoughts, and the same ideas, if I have 5,000 such students, it will not only be an old Qin who can influence in the future! β
Bitter wine suddenly shivered, obviously sitting in the carriage, obviously it was the season of spring flowers, but there was a cold wind into the collar, she grabbed Bai Dong: "Husband thinks too much, the king treats you like a brother, the Ying family regards you as a benefactor, even if you don't do anything, you can spend this life in peace, and the bitter wine will always accompany you." β
"I know all this, but now that I have come to this world, how can I not plan for my family and future generations? And it's really fun to influence the world and try to change it with your own power. Don't worry, don't be scared by me, this may be very difficult, it may take decades, but when has your husband done something that he is not sure of? β
Bai Dong smiled lightly: "You don't have to go to the academy, just be my virtuous helper, help me take care of the family business, and honor my mother is the most important thing." In my eyes, the academy is not necessarily as important as Baijiazhuang. (To be continued......)
