Yu, through 'control', Zhou Li said, is the six arts of teaching...... Four is said to be five pilots.

The original meaning was to drive a horse-drawn chariot, and later it was also extended to the use of other means of transportation, such as riding a horse and holding a boat.

With the development of the times, it has gradually focused more on the 'control science' in the field of management, including leadership, decision-making, operation research, control and other management methods.

The people present were all the management class of this country, and there was no need for Ye Mengding to explain more, so he asked the question directly.

"I would like to ask you, what kind of system should be used to ensure maximum fairness if you and the other five people live together and eat one pot of porridge every day, but they do not have any measuring instruments and the containers are of different sizes? A quarter of an hour is limited, please answer. ”

A pot of porridge, five people, must not be enough, but if it is distributed fairly, it can guarantee that they will not starve to death, and now the problem for five people is to let them design a reasonable distribution system.

At first glance, it seems simple, but considering human nature, it is indeed a very headache to get justice.

Including Zhao Mengqi, the five candidates began to think seriously, and even began to simulate porridge in their minds, and only then began to write down their plans on paper.

When a quarter of an hour came, the five men handed in the answer sheet and read it out in public, as precedent.

"Zhao Mengxi rolls, choose one person to share the porridge with Guan Po, if it is unfair, next time I will select someone from Xinguan Po."

Listening to this volume, most people laughed dumbly.

The Song people are famous for their good gambling, and according to legend, Song Taizu and Daozu Chen Qian gambled on chess, and lost Huashan.

Regardless of the government and the opposition, the government and the people are keen on gambling in their lives, and they are full of tricks, such as juju, cockfighting, cricket fighting, chess games, etc., and they can even buy something to gamble.

The buyer and seller agree on the gambling price, if the buyer wins, he can buy something with money far lower than the market price of the commodity, and if he loses, he still pays, but he can't take the thing, which is the origin of the word guanpu.

Due to the prevalence of gambling, the imperial court had to strictly prohibit gambling, and the "Song Criminal Rule" stipulated, "Those who play with property in all games have 100 rods, and those who have heavy stolen goods shall be divided according to themselves, and they will be allowed to steal." ’

However, this did not reverse the trend, gambling is still widespread, it is a big deal not to gamble money, and the imperial court will open the gambling ban on major festivals.

To get back to the point, Zhao Mengxi's approach is very characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty, but in practice, it cannot achieve the effect of fair porridge distribution.

Sure enough, Ye Mengding shook his head and commented, "Your method, the randomly selected people, there is a high probability that they will be biased towards themselves when dividing the porridge, how can it be fair." ”

The three examiners gave ratings, 'down', 'down', and 'medium', but fortunately, Dong Huai was kind and saved a little face again.

"Zhao Heyun rolls, taking turns to divide the porridge, one day per person, and the cycle is in turn."

Ye Mengding commented, "It seems fair, but it will inevitably lead to everyone being able to eat enough on the day of the porridge, or even surplus, but the other four people will starve, and in turn, everyone will be full for one day and hungry for four days." ”

That's barely fair, so the rating is three.

"Zhao Meng's rolls, collegial election of people with noble character to share porridge."

Ye Mengding commented, "A person with high morality may be able to be fair at the beginning, but after a long time, he will be greedy, and then he will be biased towards himself and those close to him when he divides the porridge." ”

Relying entirely on personal character and self-consciousness is only a short-term fairness, and it is rated as one in two.

"Zhao Meng closed the volume, two people divided the porridge, and the other three supervised, and after the separation, the comparison and adjustment were made."

Ye Mengding commented, "With supervision and constraints, you can indeed get fairness in the end, but every time there is a dispute, it takes a long time, and it is likely that after the porridge is divided, it will be cold." ”

It can be fair, but the operation is cumbersome, which affects the efficiency, and the rating is, 'up', 'up', 'medium'.

This result is still the best at present, Zhao Mengguan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Zhao Mengqi's answer had not yet come out, and he became nervous again.

"Zhao Mengqi rolls, take turns to divide the porridge, and the one who divides is the last to eat."

Ye Mengding smiled with satisfaction, "This method is the best, because the person who divides the porridge takes food in the end, if it is unfair, he must get the least, and taking turns can also make up for some errors that are difficult to eliminate." ”

Needless to say, the rating is naturally three, this time, Ding Daquan and Wu Yan can't find anything wrong, and the voting results are given quickly.

Zhao Mengqi, 22 votes.

Zhao Mengguan, twenty-one votes.

Zhao Menghao, twelve votes.

Zhao Heyun, nine votes.

Zhao Mengxi, three votes.

Statistics of the results of the three rounds, Zhao Mengguan is five, Zhao Mengqi is seven, Zhao Mengqi is eight, Zhao Heyun is nine, and Zhao Mengxi is fifteen.

Zhao Mengqi advanced one place, changed positions with Zhao Heyun, and narrowed the distance from the front, which made Zhao Guanjia relax a little.

In the fourth round of questions, Ma Guangzu came again, "Zi said, the gentleman has nothing to fight, he will also shoot, this test is 'shooting'." ”

To a certain extent, human beings can only fight against beasts and ensure a certain degree of safety after they have long-range strike weapons, and this shooting is naturally the most important ability that men should have.

But in the Great Song Dynasty, which has been worshipping literature for a long time, there are very few scholars who can shoot arrows with bows, and they still look down on those who can shoot.

However, there is this skill in the six arts of the gentleman, so the smart reader begins to think flexibly.

"The Book of Rites passes on the clouds, 'Throw the pot, shoot it thinly.'" Yan drink has shot to Lebin, and to learn and talk about art. Today, I will use the topic of pitching pots, and in order to distinguish the winners and losers more quickly, the difficulty has been slightly increased. ”

Hearing this question, Zhao Mengqi secretly sneered, this gang of big turbans, don't do serious archery, what kind of 'throwing handkerchiefs', completely forgetting that he himself can't shoot arrows, if he really wants to put a bow in front of him, he will definitely be blind.

Among the five candidates, Zhao Mengxi was excited at this time, and Zhao Heyun seemed to be confident, but Zhao Mengyun was very worried, and Zhao Mengguan also looked dignified.

The venue was quickly arranged, the copper kettle with a thin neck and a big belly, containing half a pot of small beans to prevent the arrows from rebounding, the diameter of the bottle mouth was two and a half inches, and there were two slightly thinner cylinders on both sides, called 'ears'.

Generally, the pot is not far away, between people and the pot, the closest is two and a half arrows, less than two meters, and the far one is usually one zhang, but today it is said that the difficulty will be increased, so the distance has become two zhang.

Just before starting, Zhao Mengqi saluted Ma Guangzu, "Da Situ, Xiao Wang has never touched pitching pots before, can you let Xiao Wang try to throw one or two?" ”

At this time, Zhao Guanjia also spoke, "King Zhong was weak in the past, and he really hasn't touched the pitcher. ”

Ma Guangzu pondered for a while, and then asked the three examiners of Uncle Xie Fang with his eyes, and after getting permission, he said, "In this case, those five candidates can all try to throw three arrows." ”

Because today's competition is very important, the rules are stricter, and a long case is placed two feet away from the copper kettle, and arrows are placed on the case.

Zhao Mengqi walked slowly to the front of the case, and then realized that the clothes he was wearing were really not suitable for exercise, and it was difficult to take them off, so he simply tied the two big sleeves.

When you are ready, you pick up an arrow, close your eyes and feel the weight and balance, and after a few breaths, you seem to have found a feeling, and you can throw the arrow calmly, the movement is very free and simple, but it is also decent.
