Chapter 30: The Scramble
Yanzhou, Gu Yanzhang.
Fu Shunlin silently read these five words and wrote down his name and origin.
Gu Yanzhang, who is less than twelve years old, is not so much an ordinary question as an example of an essay and a recital.
Gu Yanzhang explained the relationship between the Great Jin Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians for hundreds of years, and detailed several main reasons for the disputes between the two countries in recent years from the aspects of history, geography, national strength, human feelings, etc., where the weaknesses of the Northern Barbarians were, how to defeat them, and the detailed content and feasible countermeasures, all of which made Fu Shunlin frightened.
How could such an in-depth article be written without decades of painstaking research!
Fu Shunlin had no doubt that if there was a chance for Yang Kui, who had just been transferred to Yanzhou Zhizhou and was also the pacification envoy of Yanzhou, to see this question, without knowing the author's age, the other party would immediately find a way to transfer Gu Yanzhang under his command to help recover Yanzhou and break the Northern Barbarians. And after the announcement of the list, this previously unknown boy will soon become famous, not to mention that in this small Jixian County, even in the capital, he will be famous for a while.
At the end of the article, the pen turns, advancing layer by layer, and the voice is like a complaint, which makes people involuntarily fluctuate with the mood of the author's writing, and the chest is full of anger, and they just want to rush forward and fight against his mother's Beiban, so as to be able to fight against the bloody blade and hate the victims of Yanzhou.
He suppressed the emotions in his heart, handed over this answer sheet for the Yanzhou War, picked up another questionnaire from Qingming Academy and read it.
Qingming's questions are different from ordinary questions, which involve the lack of horses that have plagued Dajin for many years, and some data from previous years are listed at the beginning for test takers to compare.
The beginning of this Gu Yanzhang is very different from others, but from the guidance of the forage and manpower required for a horse, the calculation of the land area and silver money required by the Great Jin Dynasty to raise horses, and then the income of horses today, it is generally recommended that only by letting go of horse breeding, canceling the apportionment system, and introducing merchants, with the imperial court captive breeding as the mainstay, and the businessmen raising as the supplement, can the problem of lack of horses in the current dynasty be solved in one fell swoop.
This argument is extremely novel, and it also cites the Yanzhou horse market as an example, and compares it with the area under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou and the scope of horse accumulation, which seems reasonable and intimate.
After reading this Ma Zheng's question, Fu Shunlin couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows. Because the answer sheet quoted the results of extremely complicated calculations, he was not sure for a moment whether this was made up by the author or whether it was true, so he casually pulled the pen and paper on the table.
He was about to count the numbers, but saw a familiar teacher from Liangshan Academy hand over a few pieces of paper and said, "Don't count, I asked people to find his manuscript paper, and the calculations are all here, and there are no mistakes." ”
Fu Shunlin didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly took it over, looked down and took a rough look, only to feel dizzy and swollen.
He was born in Jinshi, but not in the arts, although "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" has also been studied, after all, it is not as good as those officials who served in the Ministry of Industry and Qin Tianjian.
He quickly flipped back, and was about to give up, but suddenly saw a very bright article at the beginning, discussing the method of water prevention, written in great detail and detail, especially the style of writing, citing many anecdotes, which is not bad as an elegant pastime.
It is a commonplace thing to go to the water in the Great Jin Dynasty, not only the capital has countless large and small water walks every year, but this small Ji County, when it comes to summer, almost every month has to send a big fire. Although the county government has thousands of defenses, it does not play a big role.
Usually there are many people who want to have some methods of water prevention and control, but the rules and regulations, the rules and regulations, people are really not in the mood to look down, at this time to get this witty article, Fu Shunlin couldn't help but "huh", very interested in the downward look, just saw the interest, the draft has been turned over, the text abruptly stopped, there is no below!
Fu Shunlin couldn't believe his eyes, he searched repeatedly, always wondering if he had missed the draft, and suddenly heard a "boom" next to him, followed by the sound of tables and chairs colliding. He was startled, hurriedly turned his head, and looked at it, it turned out that several teachers who were marking the papers looked at the answer sheets in his hands from behind, but because the space was too small, it was not easy to stand and sit, so he accidentally pushed and shoved, kicked over the chair on the side, and touched the table again.
Many respected Confucians were in the house, and the disrespectful ones hurriedly stood up, straightened their clothes, and acted as if nothing had happened just now.
Fu Shunlin laughed in his heart, turned his head and couldn't help but ask the person just now, and said, "Why does the draft seem to be missing?" Or two? ”
The man said, "Have you seen the fire prevention text too?" I thought it was less at first, but then I counted it, and it turned out to be no less, a total of eight manuscript papers, all here! He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know who he will enter our hospital in the future, so I must let this article be completed!" ”
Fu Shunlin suddenly became vigilant, and retorted in his mouth: "How could you enter your good mountain, I Qingming Moyi volume is all in him, and the question is superior, it should be into my Qingming!" ”
The man sneered: "He is not only in the scroll of your Qingming Academy, but also in the Moyi of my Liangshan, he is also in general!" Let's talk about the policy, my Liangshan is the subject of the Yanzhou war, and he has won the top! This Gu Yanzhang was born in Yanzhou, which family do you think he will have a better impression of? Besides, when it comes to strength, hehe......"
In this case, among the county officials of Jixian County, the gentlemen of Liangshan and Qingming Courtyards approved the papers behind closed doors, there was no sun and moon in the mountains, and the cold and summer did not know the year, so it was easy to finish the papers, and the people on both sides were about to fight for the students, but outside the county government, Gu Yanzhang, who was hung by them, did not know that he had caused such a shock.
As soon as the entrance examinations of Liangshan and Qingming were over, Gu Yanzhang seemed to be relieved, he went home and slept a little, and when he woke up, it was already noon.
Ji Qingling had already changed the color of the boy's clothes and sat in the room reading a book.
Gu Yanzhang washed up, and when he saw her like this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "If you don't go out today, why are you dressed like this?" ”
Ji Qingling hurriedly put down the scroll in his hand and said, "Fifth Brother Gu, you're up!" Let's have lunch and go shopping. ”
Gu Yanzhang didn't think about it yet, just sat down at the table, took the chopsticks handed over by Qiu Yue, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but take the tail of the chopsticks a little bit of Ji Qingling's forehead, and scolded with a smile: "You little devil!" Do you want to go to the door of the examination room and ask others what they are doing today? ”
Ji Qingling couldn't hide it, so he had to hit him hard, and muttered in a low voice: "It's rare to have the opportunity to see people eat paper, I don't believe you don't want to see ......"
