Chapter Ninety-Nine: Strange and Strange Talents Fly Together

Lin Feng was not lucky, Zheng Wang Li Yu did not return to the house last night and stayed in the palace.

didn't find the person he was looking for, so the helpless Lin Feng had to follow the eight forbidden soldiers straight to the Jinling Academy and continue his "career of revising papers".

However, for this "new profession", Lin Feng is enjoying it. At the end of the day, Lin Feng's marking speed was significantly accelerated, and he read more than 100 manuscripts in total. Summing up the manuscript of this day, Lin Feng unfreely floated in his mind with the sentence "Strange and strange people fly together".

Although most of the manuscripts are generalized works with no new ideas, the occasional strange thing always makes Lin Feng smile.

For example, there is a Confucian scholar who started from the "Spring and Autumn Unrighteous War", reprimanded the wars of the past dynasties for harming the country and the people, and hoped that the Tang Dynasty could from now on, suspend the sword soldiers, reduce taxes, serve the former Tang Dynasty, raise the banner of righteousness, and the world should be invincible, so as to create a country of etiquette and harmony.

For such a pedantic work that made his brain cramp when he read, Lin Feng directly gave a zero score. Datang dared to do this, he must be the first to be eaten alive by the surrounding tigers and wolves!

For example, there is a manuscript that proposes that the Southern Tang Dynasty should "make friends from afar and attack closely" to pacify the world, vigorously make friends with the Later Shu and Liao states that are not adjacent to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then start pacifying from the surrounding small countries to accumulate strength, and then compete with the Northern Han Dynasty.

This idea is not wrong at all, but the specific solution proposed in the manuscript is very strange: use a lot of money to buy those countries that have diplomatic relations with each other, develop land force to sweep Wu Yue first, then fight Chu, and then directly attack the Northern Han. In fact, the current strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty is only slightly higher than that of the surrounding countries, for this idea that does not meet the true strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Lin Feng shook his head and only gave a passing grade.

For example, there is a manuscript proposing to impose heavy taxes on non-agricultural industries such as commerce and handicrafts, raising the tax to one-half, supporting the country's foreign war and subsidizing agricultural production. For this inconsistency, the idiotic idea of not only letting business make great efforts, but also not wanting them to benefit, Lin Feng also gave a failing grade.

However, things are always relative! If there are wonderful, there will naturally be outstanding talents.

On this day, Lin Feng successively saw the manuscripts of Lu Jiang, Shu Ya, and Wu Qiao, and after several revisions, the overall context of their arguments was clear, the words were conclusive, and the arguments were absolutely excellent, Lin Feng naturally circled their manuscripts first, and then gave them a high score of more than 90 points.

In addition, there are naturally works that make Lin Feng sigh and almost want to boast about his talents.

For example, the title of a manuscript is "On the Role and Significance of the Qingyuan Army", which starts from the battle to destroy Fujian four years ago, and proposes that the Qingyuan Army, which is now nominally under the jurisdiction of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is not an opportunity for the Southern Tang Dynasty to break through the surrounding encirclement, but a big trap for the development of the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is similar to the Korean Peninsula in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and is a real drag. If the Qingyuan Army can be truly recovered, it will not only open up the path of the Southern Tang Dynasty from the south to the overseas road, but also surround Wu Yue from the north and southwest, and it will not be difficult to pocket it.

Regarding the causes and consequences of the Qingyuan Army, Lin Feng once had a detailed understanding of it. In December of the seventh year of Baoda (949 AD), that is, three months before Lin Feng first arrived in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty set up the Qingyuan Army in Quanzhou to stay in accordance with the effect. In fact, this section of the town was independent of the Southern Tang government.

Liu Congxiao, who is only 44 years old this year, can be regarded as the number one person in history. Stay from the effect, the character Yuanfan, Quanzhou Yongchun County. He lost his father at an early age, his family was poor, and he was filial to his mother and brother, and he was famous far and wide. He loves to read, especially the art of war.

At first, he was the king of Min and the king of Fujian. In the Southern Tang Dynasty to destroy Fujian, stay from the effect of the army in the hands of the strength of the army, in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wu Yue, Fujian between the three long sleeves good dance, the most after the fisherman profited, during the reign of Li Jing, Li Yu was awarded Quanzhou Thorn History, Qingyuan Army Festival Envoy, Tongping Zhangshi and Servant, Zhongshu Ling, Eguo Gong, Jinjiang King and other important positions. Staying in Quanzhou for 17 years, diligent and thrifty to support the people, Quanjun is also "full of years". The Qingyuan Army also became a rare paradise during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and it was not until 978 AD that it was subdued by the Northern Song Dynasty.

The views of this manuscript are very consistent with Lin Feng's views, and Lin Feng naturally appreciates them very much, and directly draws circles to score high.

There is also a manuscript, the font is very ugly, and one or two typos pop up from time to time, but the idea makes Lin Feng's eyes shine, the author of this article proposes that naval warfare should be an important direction for the development of future wars, he believes that ships should develop in the two directions of giant ships and fast ships at the same time, and at the same time invent weapons that can be thrown from a distance, powerful, and suitable for sea combat.

Lin Feng greatly appreciated this point of view, and also drew a circle and gave a high score.

There was also a manuscript that left an even deeper impression on Lin Feng. The first sentence of this person's opening sentence is "Ten questions for recruitment, and the trail is also!" Thinking about the prosperity of supermarkets and the inclusiveness of the Lord of Honor, the essence behind it is the avenue! ”

Subsequently, the author of the article carefully analyzed the successes of the Talent Ceremony, the supermarket, and the Honorary Lord, laid out their respective advantages, and pointed out that the principles of fairness, justice, equality, and transparency contained in them should be the most reliable cohesion of a great power.

Looking at the appearance and knowing the essence behind it, he is an absolutely smart person! Lin Feng stroked his palms and sighed, and couldn't help but praise: "Good article!" ”

As soon as Lin Feng shouted this, several deputy examiners gathered around, begging for Lin Feng's Chinese papers, and even Situ Zhouzong, the chief examiner who had been closing his eyes and cultivating his mind, opened his eyes rarely.

A large circle was circulated, and there were four more circles on the manuscript. Lin Feng waited for Zhou Zong to see it, and drew his own circle on it.

On the second day of the ceremony, there were significantly fewer people queuing up to hand in the papers, and by the evening, there were basically no new manuscripts handed in. At this time, the examiners who had been reading the test papers all day finally relaxed, simply cleaned up and went home.

Situ Zhou Zong saw the other adults leave, turned his head and said to Lin Feng, who was the last to leave: "The best is hard!" ”

Lin Feng hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Lord Situ insists on selecting talents for the country despite his unhealed body, this is called hard work!" ”

Zhou Zong's right hand gently stroked the back of his waist, his face was full of helplessness, and he shook his head and said, "Old man! Zhishan, we don't have to be so polite to speak, right? ”

Lin Feng could only laugh with him, and slowly walked towards the side door behind the old man.

Zhou Zong asked Zhou Jing about the situation in charge of Xinsheng Bank, and briefly talked about the progress of the eldest son Zhou Ming's family trade, and the progress of the second son's purchase of land and cotton search. Alas, girls are outgoing! ”

Emperor E! Lin Feng's heart suddenly warmed, and he immediately asked eagerly, "How is Emperor E doing lately?" ”

"Well, people are more lively than before, twittering, talking more!" Zhou Zong smiled kindly.

Lin Feng's heart was hot, and his body and mind were full of the beautiful image of Emperor Zhou E, and he blurted out: "Lord Situ, can you allow the lower officials to come to the mansion to disturb you?" ”

Zhou Zong turned his head to look at the forbidden army around him, and said in embarrassment: "The old man personally made the regulations yesterday, how can he be the first to violate them today?" ”

Lin Feng's mind was racing, he turned around and ran into the corridor, quickly found a pen and paper to write a poem, found a letter envelope, and respectfully handed it to Zhou Zong.

Zhou Zong put the letter in his arms, shook his head and smiled: "Alas, the old man will be a messenger for the time being!" I believe that the ghost girl shouldn't bother me again today! After speaking, Zhou Zong waved his hand to Lin Feng and went straight to the car and left.
