didn't let Liu Ying wait in the house for too long, Zhang Cang handed over all the affairs in his hands to Yang Chengyan, and immediately walked into the house with an angry face.

Slightly perfunctory bowed to Liu Ying, and saw Zhang Cang sitting down with annoyance, his hands crossed and hidden in his sleeves, don't turn around, and sulk to himself.

——For Zhang Cang, this examination can definitely be called the 'darkest moment' in his life!

It's not that Zhang Cang himself has suffered any harm because of this examination, but that the test papers and the candidates who participated in the examination really disappointed Zhang Cang.

Fang Cai's paper that uses the accumulation method to calculate the area of square acres and not to mention, the method is a little stupid, but at least people are right, and it can barely be regarded as reasonable;

- There is a calculation process, and the correct result is obtained.

What really annoyed Zhang Cang was those test papers that were not only stupid, but also didn't calculate the correct answers!

For example, in the question of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, the chickens and rabbits add up to five, and the legs add up to eighteen;

This difficulty couldn't be easier, right?

But there is a person who is extremely stupid, who answered several pages freely, and finally came up with the bizarre answer of "a certain chicken has an extra leg" and "a certain rabbit has a broken leg".

That's all, that's all.

After all, chickens and rabbits are in the same cage, and the test is not the entry-level arithmetic method of addition and subtraction, multiplication and division.

But Zhang Cang really couldn't understand: the square field product that tests multiplication, and the 'after-tax income of farmers' that tests multiplication, division, addition and subtraction, there are actually people who can make mistakes!

- And the miscalculation here is not that the result is wrong, but from the process to the result, the whole article is confusing!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Zhang Cang couldn't hold back the anger in his chest anymore, ignoring Liu Ying and Cao Shen in front of him, he only sneered, but there was no joy between his eyebrows.

"Can the prime minister know that the problem of surplus grain earned by the peasant households for one year of labor, what do you see and hear today?"

"Hey ·······"

"The peasant family has 100 acres of land, produces 360 stone of corn, takes 1 out of 15 in tax, and the farmer, wife, and son are three people, and the price of rice and stone is 60 yuan;"

"This question, isn't it easy?"

"—Three hundred and sixty stones, one out of fifteen for tax, twenty-four for it; Sixty dollars of rice stone, three counts of mouth endowment, then go to six, and the remaining three hundred and thirty stones! ”

"But there is that talent, who said that this farmer should have several slaves, and the slaves need to be paid; In addition, there are countless local excesses and miscellaneous taxes, which are not stated in the question, so this question cannot be solved!! ”

"This!"

"Alas!!"

As he said excitedly, he saw Zhang Cang patting his thigh with a depressed expression, and sighed for a while.

On Zhang Cang's side, seeing Zhang Cang's reaction, Cao Shen couldn't help laughing, but between his eyebrows, a little worry also quietly swelled up.

Sitting on the top, watching Zhang Cang's 'Angry' reality show with a light smile, and kindly leaving Zhang Cang a moment to adjust, Liu Yingcai shook his head with a smile and looked at Zhang Cang with a slight ridicule.

"It's not unusual for the Marquis of Beiping to be so angry."

"——Since Qin practiced the law of coercing books, the people of the world were forbidden to collect books, and all the people in the world who studied literature had no scriptures and learned from them."

"I am even more heard: at the time of the second time, the Kwantung heroes rose up together to fight against the tyrannical Qin, but after the Six Kingdoms, they relentlessly searched for scriptures and allusions in their lands, and then they could not ······"

Shaking his head and saying with a wry smile, he saw that Liu Ying finally sighed slightly.

"At the time of the Second Dynasty, so the same was true after the Six Kingdoms, let alone ordinary households?"

"And in this examination, I came up with the third question of arithmetic, if the candidate has not studied the nine chapters of arithmetic, it will be difficult to solve these three questions."

"So I think that the Marquis of Beiping doesn't need to be so angry?"

Hearing Liu Ying's gentle persuasion, Zhang Cang was still annoyed, but he was no longer willful, and finally nodded reluctantly.

- Liu Ying is right.

In the past few decades, not to mention the allusions of the sages and hundreds of books, even if it is a loose bamboo strip with words written on it, some people buy it at a high price!

But even so, a complete book, or even just a complete fragment, rarely appears.

No way;

Qin burned the book of the world, and the burning was thorough enough·······

Except for some people who received the news in advance and had enough courage to build the books in their homes into the walls and bury them in the soil, the last remaining books in the world were all collected in the Shiqu Pavilion of Qin Xianyang Palace.

Then, the first emperor Liu Bang entered Xianyang first, Xiang Yu followed, and after the Hongmen banquet, the Xianyang Palace was burned to the ground·······

If it weren't for the time when he first entered Xianyang, Xiao He, the Marquis of Yuwen, accurately realized that 'Xianyang should not stay for a long time', and pulled away most of the books in Shiqu Pavilion in advance, I am afraid that today, I can't even find a bamboo slip fragment with more than ten bamboo strips!

But even if Xiao He almost moved the Shiqu Pavilion of Qin Xianyang Palace to the emptiness, most of the history books of the Hundred Schools of Sons and the Heroes of the Warring States Period are still lost;

Even the remaining parts are mostly fragments and fragments that do not match the preface, and they are disorganized, all of which are piled up in the Shiqu Pavilion of Weiyang Palace today.

This year, after Liu Ying promulgated an edict abolishing the law of coercion, the situation may be better.

At least those who once hid books in the walls and mud during the Qin period, and still dare not admit that they have books, can finally stand up with swagger and admit that they 'have books'.

But if you think about it, you know that those who can hide books in front of the wolf-like Qin officials, and are lucky not to interrupt the family inheritance in the war at the end of Qin, are a minority of the few.

Even now, the law of coercion of books has been abolished by Liu Yingming's edict, and the private ownership of books has been legalized again, but the stock of books in the world may still be outrageously low.

It is no exaggeration to say that in today's situation, if someone can take out a book with clear handwriting, complete and complete, and can prove that it is a 'allusion to the sages', it can basically be concluded that this bamboo slip is the last surviving volume out of print!

Unless it's a coincidence, there is almost no possibility that a book was hidden by two people at the same time and has been preserved to this day!

If it weren't for this, Liu Ying would not have been able to abolish the law of coercion of books, and at the same time issue the ultra-high price of 'a complete book is a thousand gold, and a fragment is a hundred gold', so as to buy books from the people without restrictions.

Because Liu Ying clearly knows that what she is purchasing, or what the court is purchasing, is not one of the rubbings of a certain book, but the only out-of-print that exists in the world!

In this case, Zhang Cang was able to rely on his memory to retain all the books he had read when he was the imperial history of Qin, which was indeed a blessing in misfortune for Chinese civilization.

But even so, Zhang Cang can't expect everyone in the world to have the same ability to remember as he is;

It is not required that the candidates who participated in the examination this time have all done the history of Qin Yu, stayed in Qin Shiqu Pavilion for decades, and turned over the books in the Shiqu Pavilion of Qin Xianyang Palace·······

Thinking of this, most of the anger in Zhang Cang's chest finally dissipated, so he indifferently bowed his hand to Liu Ying, saying that he 'obeyed the teachings'.

As for what to say, Zhang Cang didn't want to say anything.

——If you really want to talk about it, when the problem of the scarcity of books is today, you can only count on Zhang Cang to solve it!

Because after Qin burned the Book of the World, all the editions of all the books were kept in the Shiqu Pavilion of Xianyang Palace without exception as a backup;

And today, I dare to say that I have read every book in the Shiqu Pavilion of Qin Xianyang Palace, and can recite most of the people, except for Zhang Cang, there is no second one!

Putting aside the difficulty of redevelopment, as long as Zhang Cang is willing to handwrite out the books in his mind and hand in a copy to Liu Ying, the problem of the shortage of books in the world will be solved!

But here's the problem: people have selfish desires.

As a person with selfish desires, Zhang Cang is obviously more willing to hide all the books in his mind than selfless dedication, as a solid foundation for the Zhang family to last forever·······

"The last two questions, can there be answers, and there are things to say?"

While thinking about it, Liu Ying's inquiry sounded in his ears, and Zhang Cang also eased up from his thoughts;

But after realizing the content of Liu Ying's question, the annoyance that had just been pressed down by Zhang Cangqiang suddenly poured into his face again.

"Your Majesty."

"In this examination, there are 2,417 people who rushed to respond from all over Guanzhong."

"Except for the day of the examination, there are dozens of people who should not have come to the examination room, and there are more than 2,394, all of which have no blanks."

Hearing Zhang Cang's words, Liu Ying was only subconsciously stunned, and after a while, she shook her head again and smiled bitterly.

-- Not handing in the blank paper is almost the most profound and long-standing genetic characteristic of the Chinese nation.

The idea of 'whether it is right or wrong, you have to write something' in the exam, even in the new era more than 2,000 years later, is still inherited by the Chinese nation.

And from Zhang Cang's distorted face again, it is not difficult for Liu Ying to guess: What kind of terrifying answers did these candidates who insisted that 'even if they write wrong, they can't write nothing', which made Zhang Cang, an old man of his age, uncontrollable liver fire·······

Thinking of this, Liu Ying only shook his head and smiled, then turned his head slightly and glanced at Chun Tuo beside him.

After a while, Chun Tuo went back with a wooden box, and respectfully placed the wooden box on the wooden case in front of Liu Ying.

"Shaofuyang Gongyan: The volumes in the box are all square fields and farmers' surplus grains, and those who answer the two questions correctly ·······"

Hearing Chuntuo's whispered advice, Liu Ying also nodded slowly, and grabbed half of the test paper in the wooden box.

- Fang Tian asks for the product, to put it bluntly, it is a 235x235 arithmetic problem;

If you don't know how to multiply, you can use the method of adding two hundred and thirty-five to two hundred and thirty-five to calculate him two hundred and thirty-five times, and you can also get the correct answer.

As for the surplus grain of farmers, it is similar, which is the basic operation of 360-360÷15-2x3.

It's just that compared with the accumulation of square fields, this farmer's surplus grain is more practical.

Regarding the shortage of books in the world and the lack of knowledge sources for young people, Liu Ying had expected it and was completely able to accept it.

But having simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, at least adding and subtracting, is Liu Ying's unshakable bottom line.

To put it bluntly, if someone can't even answer these two questions, then Liu Ying has no need to waste time reading the subjective questions later.

- People who don't know how to add and subtract can have a subjective opinion of fart!

Thinking so, Liu Ying lowered her head and quietly read the test paper in her hand.

But unfortunately, there are no discoveries or surprises that can make Liu Ying's eyes shine.

Except for a few outliers in these qualified answers, such as the person who uses addition to calculate multiplication, the others are basically normal people.

In Fangtian's calculation of the product, most people use the remuneration method;

That is: 235x235, which is equal to 200x235 + 30x235 + 5x235, and gives 47000 + 7050 + 1175 = 55225.

The mention of farmers' surplus grain is also a decent solution process.

As for the chickens and rabbits in the same cage, as Liu Ying expected, most people did not use the solution equation, but used the elimination method.

That is, if there are four chickens, then the rabbit has one, a total of 2x4 + 4 = 12 legs, the question requires 18 legs, so it is excluded······

Through this method of elimination, the possibility of all chickens, all rabbits, and four, three, and two chickens is excluded, and finally one chicken and four rabbits are finally obtained.

As for the last two subjective questions, there is nothing nutritious.

On the question of "local political malpractice, and the way to solve it", these hundreds of qualified answer sheets are almost all the same rainbow farts of "Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, you can see thousands of miles, local county officials are clear, and the people live and work in peace and contentment".

For such an answer, although Liu Ying is not surprised, it can be regarded as a reluctant approval.

- These people don't say anything else, at least they already have the two officialdom skills of 'opening their eyes and telling nonsense' and 'whitewashing the peace';

In the future, when you enter the officialdom, even if you can't make a difference, you can at least keep one party safe and be a minister who keeps the job.

As for the current affairs and political commentary in the back, it really disappointed Liu Ying.

- Like the previous question, it is still the same large horse scene of 'Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, you can see thousands of miles, and Your Majesty says that North Korea should be beaten, then it must be beaten'.

For these young candidates in their twenties and thirties, Liu Ying naturally reluctantly agrees that they can have such political consciousness.

But this question, but Liu Ying thought about it exhaustively, and finally came up with the 'hawkish' identification question!

The result is good, none of the hawks have been screened, and the doves have not seen any clues, but they have blown up a piece of officialdom old fritters······

"Alas·······"

"That's fine."

"In the past few decades, those who can emerge have basically emerged at the turn of the Qin and Han dynasties, and those who have not yet emerged are either incapable or young."

"It's the people who can use it, the old ones are too old, the small ones are too small·······"

"Talent outage~~~"

Full of embarrassment, Liu Ying let out a sigh, and Liu Ying lost the nature of continuing to look down.

got up from the couch and explained to Zhang Canghao, 'Pick out the best ten answer sheets and send them to the palace', Liu Ying left the prime minister's mansion with some disappointment.

And this examination also ended with Liu Ying's sigh.

- There are no unexpected surprises, and there are no people gathered and big bulls emerge.

Yes, it is a group of people who pull out generals among the shorts, that is, a group of people who are not so bad selected according to 'worse than bad'.

For Liu Ying, such a result is obviously unsatisfactory.

But at the very least, the seeds of the examination have been sown by Liu Ying;

In the near future, one after another famous ministers in history will pass these three arithmetic problems and two subjective questions and enter the vision of Liu Ying and the people of the world.

And Liu Ying dared to conclude: That day will not be too far away··········
