When Xu Yuanzuo designed the three questions, he went from easy to difficult.

The first question can be calculated according to the number in the question, and the final answer can be obtained, which is equivalent to the question of the fourth and fifth grades of primary school in the future.

The second question has a larger amount of text than the first question, and even adds a limerick poem compiled by Xu Yuanzuo himself.

It is to the effect that the two ships are traveling opposite each other, and when they meet a day later, they give the known velocities of still water and currents. Between the two boats, another cormorant flew from ship A to ship B without stopping, and the cormorant flight speed was also a known condition. Then the boat is moving, the cormorant is flying, and the question is how many miles the cormorant has flown in total.

Several people were frightened away when they saw this topic, and when they went out, there were still people outside who dispersed without even seeing the topic, and there were vague words about Xu Yuanzuo deliberately making things difficult.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't expect that the simple two questions would have such a powerful screening power, and then look at the people who didn't leave, they all looked solemn and meditated.

Jiang Baili was very glad that the seat was finally vacant. When he got the copied questions, he found a seat and sat down, just read them all once, and thought that Xu Yuanzuo had made a mistake.

Since we know that the two boats meet one day later, and the cormorant flies non-stop all the time, and we know the distance that the cormorant flies at each hour, then a day is twelve hours, and it is very easy to calculate the total number of miles the cormorant has flown through.

So why do you need to know the speed of the boat?

In particular, Xu Yuanzuo also gave a hint next to the second question: the downstream velocity is equal to the hydrostatic velocity plus the water flow velocity, and the countercurrent velocity is equal to the hydrostatic velocity minus the hydrostatic velocity.

Jiang Baili didn't know that Xu Yuanzuo deliberately increased the confusion factor, the arithmetic test was the skin, the reading test was the muscle, and the psychology test was the bone.

Seeing Xu Yuanzuo standing in front calmly, Jiang Baili didn't ask much, but just wrote down his answer. He looked at the third question again: It is a large household that wants to buy ten looms, and there are two styles of A and B. It is known that the price of each unit, the number of pieces of cloth at sunrise, and the depreciation and wear are different, and the family only pays a maximum of 120 taels of silver.

Ask: First, there are several ways to buy; Second, if you want to make 3,000 pieces of cloth, in order to save depreciation, you should choose what kind of buying method.

Jiang Baili secretly said in his heart: This first little question is simple, either buy all A, or buy all B, and then each has its own increase or decrease, which can be exhaustive. However, the second question is a little difficult, as if it is necessary to set up the Tian Yuan and the Earth Yuan...... He bit the pen and thought for a long time before deciding to give up, and returned to the first question, and began to draw figures on the manuscript paper, representing stone rice, and then listed and calculated.

Compared with the third question and the second question, this first question really stumped everyone. They didn't know that Xu Yuanzuo originally wanted to release the water, and they thought it was a dismount.

Xu Yuanzuo also found that the first question was a bit difficult for people who were rarely exposed to arithmetic, but found that most of them could solve the second question easily and would not be confused by various temptations. It can be seen that these teenagers can grasp the backbone of the problem, or they can think simply.

The last question is indeed a bit more difficult, and of course no one can do it.

Xu Yuanzuo accepted the paper and reviewed it on the spot, even if someone answered all the questions incorrectly, he would admit them together. Seeing that Lu Dayou and Gu Shuisheng were dumbfounded, they didn't know what Brother Yuan Zuo's intention was in doing this.

Xu Yuanzuo examined Lu Dayou and Gu Shuisheng's patience and meticulousness from transcribing the test questions, and analyzed some character traits from their handwriting; From Jiang Baili's maintenance of order, this person's attitude towards power, as well as obedience and patience are examined; From the expressions of all the reference teenagers facing difficult problems, he also saw that some people were willing to use their brains to study, some people accepted failure calmly, and even more people were in a hurry to lose their popularity.

The reason why Xu Yuanzuo read them one by one was to match the people with their names, so that they wouldn't even be able to recognize their first batch of seeds.

Lu Fuzi kept silent and waited aside. He also looked at these questions, and the first question was too cumbersome to count; The second question is too complicated and has no ideas; Question 3...... It's cumbersome and complicated...... If he was below, he might be like the group of people who left at the beginning of the exam, going around telling Xu Yuanzuo's difficult stories.

"You guys go back early to rest, bring your basic utensils tomorrow, and set off early in the morning at the Outer Harbor Dock." Xu Yuanzuo said to everyone.

"Thank you Brother Xu for your support!" Everyone thanked each other.

A teenager like Jiang Baili who can make one question and one question will naturally answer loudly, and those who have miscalculated all of them are even more grateful when Xu Yuanzuo takes care of his neighbors.

Xu Yuanzuo turned to Lu Fuzi again and said with a smile: "I'm tired of Master." ”

Lu Fuzi shook his head and praised: "Don't be a face." Today, I know that the so-called admiration of the ancients turned out to be your generation. ”

"Mr. has won the prize." Xu Yuanzuo smiled, took two steps in this classroom that left dark memories, sat down in the seat where he used to be, gently stroked the desk, and said, "Actually, people are different. Some people are precocious, some are late; Some people are good at writing, and some people are good at arithmetic. I was just a late-blooming and arithmetic person, and it was naturally difficult for me to be taken seriously. ”

Lu Fuzi bowed his head and said, "It makes sense." Today, the old man has a sense of openness. ”

"I want to hear about it." Xu Yuanzuo smiled and continued.

"The old man has been teaching at the village school for 30 years, and he also had ambitions in his early years, hoping to teach a few successful students. However, in the past 30 years, the best student is a child, and the most promising is you. Lu Fuzi sighed: "I saw your topic today, it is very different, but it does help to make a living, it can be seen that the old man has misled people's children." ”

Xu Yuanzuo left his seat, moved to the front, and said, "Master, didn't you think: In the future, if the qualifications are not for composition and reading, I will only teach them arithmetic and writing, so that they can do chores?" ”

Lu Fuzi was stunned: "Your understanding is really not in literature." He was actually even more surprised: he only had a vague concept, but he was explained thoroughly by Xu Yuanzuo.

"That's great!" Xu Yuanzuo high-fived and praised: "Master, the Ming Dynasty only takes 300 jinshi every three years; The eighteen state capitals of Nanzhi only take 135 people every three years; I have 2,000 maps (note) in Songjiang Prefecture, 220,000 households, and less than 200 students per subject. And people are virtuous and foolish, and they are deviant, if they are all squeezed on this road, wouldn't it be thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge? ”

Lu Fuzi nodded slightly: "The road to the imperial examination has been like this since ancient times, and your analogy is appropriate." It's just that the dynasty uses the imperial examination to select scholars, and if you don't enter the imperial field, it will be difficult to change the court after all, so will you sink into a humble position from generation to generation? ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled in his heart: You old master is kind. He said, "Master, the length is dwarfed, and the high and the low are inclined to each other. If there is no short and low, where does the length and height come from? If the whole country is a scholar, who respects and who is inferior? So how does the country choose the best and the best, and is there still a law? Therefore, I think that humility is the foundation of respect, and while the Master teaches people to follow the path of respect, he should also train his children to follow the path of humility and humbleness. ”

Lu Fuzi naturally read "Lao Tzu", and when he heard Xu Yuanzuo say this, he couldn't help but imagine it in his mind: If it really goes to the world where Jinshi goes to carry a sedan chair and support a boat, how terrible it is? When the country is in turmoil, is it not full of thieves? He has been complaining about why the number of people in a province can't be released more, and now that he thinks about it, if it is really released, it will be worthless.

"Song Ru said that he kept to himself, which is indeed reasonable." Lu Fuzi twisted his beard and nodded: "Some people really shouldn't waste time on the field, maybe a different path can also be successful." ”

"What the Master said is very true." Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "Could it be that those Jinshi people in the world are people, and we and other civilians don't want to live?" At the beginning of the country, when Taizu was the emperor, which businessman dared to wear satin clothes? Before Jiajing, the merchant wore silk inside and a cloth coat outside. And now? Students also see Qianshou wearing purple in the county town! It's only been a few years? It can be seen that the more prosperous the people are, the richer the people, and the more irrelevant it does not matter whether they take the imperial examination or not. ”

Lu Fuzi nodded: "The old man understands what you mean, but if I teach it like this, they will live in peace in the future......"

"Just leave it to the students." Xu Yuanzuo packed the ticket: "This hired worker is the same as the soldier in the army, but the more the merrier!" ”

Lu Fuzi didn't believe it when he heard this: "If there are really hundreds of people, I'm afraid the Xu family won't be able to use it, right?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "There are really a few hundred people, so naturally you can go to expand the territory and do business in Zhejiang and Jiangxi." As long as there are enough talents, are you afraid that there will be no place to open a business to do business? There is Kyushu outside of Kyushu! ”

Lu Fuzi was surprised when he heard it: Is this knowledge still the fat and stupid Xu Yuanzuo!

Xu Yuanzuo saw that he had successfully shocked Master Lu, and said with a smile: "Master has now found a way to consolidate the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and cultivate the Yuan, maybe in the future, the historian will have to pass on the master just for such an initiative!" ”

Lu Fuzi rolled his eyes: "How can the old man be able to waste the rest of his life in the gym!" I still have to take the exam the year after tomorrow, and I have to go to the Qionglin banquet after all! ”

Xu Yuanzuo touched his nose in embarrassment, and said secretly in his heart: It turns out that what you just said, you didn't think about yourself at all. This self-confidence is worth learning.
