Chapter 870: Scientific Expedition

Convince people with virtue and convince people with reason.

Li Qinzai's good quality of reasoning is well known to the whole world, and the several officials who disputed with him obviously did not know him, so it had nothing to do with him.

From a professional point of view, Li Qinzai patiently explained to the officials the reason for each question, what aspect of this question is examined, what aspect of that question is examined, don't talk to me about astronomy and geography, it has a gross relationship with arithmetic.

Calendar? You can add two dishes in moderation, which means that it can be regarded as giving you face.

I've given you face, do you dare to give me face in my question?

Calculation is only the foundation, it is a tool for all basic disciplines, and you can't take the tool too seriously, so do you also have two simple physics problems?

This year, the number of people in the imperial court has increased by 50, so the questions do not have to be too difficult, and the candidates are properly put in the water, regardless of the level, how many questions can be made, and the admission rate is greater.

In terms of questions, more consideration should be given to the limitations of poor students in acquiring knowledge, and the types of questions in application must be more biased towards the common sense of the class where the poor families live, so as to exclude the children of powerful families who are pampered.

Li Qinzai's proposals are very pragmatic, and most of the disputes with several officials come from this.

The officials of the Guozijian expressed strong opposition to Li Qinzai's proposal, and from their standpoint, they must be thorough and comprehensive and not biased.

According to the practice of questions in previous years, astronomy, geography and calendar have occupied a large proportion of the Ming arithmetic examination, and this subject cannot be subtracted too much, otherwise it is difficult to convince the public, and no one can afford the responsibility of the candidates to make trouble.

Li Qinzai was a little impatient, he didn't have a very good temper, and he patiently talked to them for a long time, but in vain, did he not give face to the pillars of the country?

So the face of the gentleman began to appear, and he was shameless to give him a face, so he had to force me to do it, right?

The face was gloomy and a little scary, and the officials were all characters who were good at observing words and feelings, so they naturally saw that Li Qinzai's face was wrong, so they shut up very interestingly.

Mo said that he is now on other people's territory, even if he is not, with the notoriety he has accumulated over the years, and the unfathomable terrifying background that even the Son of Heaven supports him, the officials find that they really have no capital to fight with him.

"I'm the examiner, I'm in charge of the questions, you know each other and shut up, do as I say, if you don't know each other, you will be beaten by me, and in the end, you have to shut up and choose yourself." Li Qinzai said with a cold face.

The officials did not squeak, and their faces were ugly.

Li Qinzai turned his head and shouted outside: "Come on, get a chicken, kill them!" ”

The officials changed color, and a doctor from Guozijian said in a trembling voice: "Li Xianhou, why not!" ”

Li Qinzai's face suddenly changed, and he smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, you just kill a chicken to make up for your body......"

I believe you're a ghost!

The officials looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then, in each other's eyes, they saw their compromises.

With a few wry smiles, Dr. Guozijian said: "Just follow what Li Xianhou said, after all, you are the chief examiner appointed by the Son of Heaven, and the lower officials will listen to you." ”

Li Qinzai sighed, slightly regretful in his heart.

I knew this was the case, I should have killed the chicken when we first met, and I wasted half a day of saliva, so why bother.

Once you have a unified understanding, the rest of the matter is much easier.

Li Qinzai and the officials began to write questions.

The exam questions had already been drafted, and Li Qinzai put down his pen like flying, and soon finished a set of test papers.

Everyone entered the discussion mode again, discussing topic by question, and each question was rigorously discussed for a long time, from the original intention of the question, to the difficulty of the exam question, and the knowledge involved.

A set of subject examination papers was quickly discussed, and this time the process was very smooth, and perhaps everyone was in a hurry to eat chicken.

After determining the exam questions, Li Qinzai handed over the freshly baked test paper to the two superintendents of the imperial history, of course, the imperial history would not talk much, after a brief reading, the test paper was sealed with fire paint in front of everyone, and then a team of people was sent to the Chang'an City Rite Department for engraving and printing.

Li Qinzai, who finished the question, could not leave yet, and everyone who participated in the question must stay in the school, and everyone is still in a state of isolation.

This is to avoid suspicion and to prevent the examiner from leaking the questions for personal gain.

Lee Chin-jae happily cooperated, and he didn't mind following the rules on the premise that everyone didn't break the rules.

Three days later, as the lengthy bell of the Bell and Drum Tower of Chang'an City rang, the biennial scientific expedition began.

The scientific expedition began with Emperor Wen of Sui, but over the years it has been in name only, and it has gradually had a formal scale during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, but although the scientific expedition of Zhenguan is for the whole country, in fact, most of the people who participated in the scientific expedition are the children of the family, and the scale is very small.

Li Shimin once stood in the Taiji Palace and said with a smile, "All the talents in the world are in my world", but in fact, in the year he said this, there were only dozens of scholars in the imperial court.

In terms of the total base of the Tang Dynasty, the scientific examination during the Zhenguan period was more like a formality, in fact, it was still mainly to admit the children of the family.

It was not until Li Zhi ascended the throne and decided to adopt a suppressive policy against the family that scientific research was really taken seriously, and the scale of scientific research over the years became larger and larger.

In the early days of today's Tang Dynasty scientific expedition, Chang'an City did not have a tribute institute dedicated to scientific research, and the Ministry of Rites temporarily requisitioned Qinglong Temple in Xinchangfang as an examination room.

On September 13 of the first year of the Tang Dynasty, the scientific expedition began.

The weather of this year's scientific expedition is very different, and most of the thousands of people who walked into the examination room were children of poor families in old clothes, and the examination room was heavily guarded inside and outside, and there were many guards.

Li Qinzai and several officials who made the questions also left Ganjingzhuang and were arranged by the Ministry of Rites to sit in the side hall in the examination room.

As the chief examiner, Li Qinzai did not rest after arriving at the examination room, but took several officials of the Ministry of Rites to patrol the examination room.

It is not a trivial matter to win talents for the country, and Li Qinzai also hopes to help Li Zhi discover a few talents from this scientific expedition.

It's a pity that the scientific examination is mainly based on the Ming Jing Department after all, and in the examination room of the Ming Jing Department, those candidates raised their pens and spoke freely.

On the contrary, the examination room of the Ming Arithmetic subject is much quieter, and the number of candidates is far less than that of the Ming Economics.

Many candidates bite their pens and look at the test papers as if they are staring at the enemy who killed their father, and even more, some candidates' psychological quality is really fragile.

When he saw that most of the questions on the test paper were not clear, he immediately howled and cried, and was rushed by the officers and soldiers on patrol to hear the sound, slapped the examinee to shut up first, and then unceremoniously dragged him out and threw him away.

Li Qinzai saw all this and sighed secretly.

From ancient times to the present, this is the fairest way to cross classes, if this is not good, you can only prove that you are not good, there is no capital to cross classes, who can blame?
