The person in charge of this spring festival is the secretary and supervisor Yu Shinan.

This Yu Shinan is not simple.

His father, Yu Li, was a scholar of the prince of the Chen Dynasty.

His brother Yu Shiji was a squire in the Sui Dynasty.

And he himself went through the second generation of Chen and Sui, and then attached himself to Dou Jiande, the king of Xia.

Since Li Shimin killed Dou Jiande, he has been following left and right.

Yu Shinan has high attainments in calligraphy and writing.

And proficient in political affairs.

And he is loyal and upright, and his virtue is quite praised by Li Er.

Now as the chief examiner of Chunqiu, it can be regarded as a matter of expectations.

However, after all, Yu Shinan has gone through three dynasties and is very old.

There is also a lack of energy.

Often, after reviewing the exam papers, you need to take a long break.

And the other marking officials below did not dare to urge.

"When people get old, they tend to be drowsy."

Yu Shinan smiled apologetically at the examiners.

Just now, he fell asleep while reviewing.

Of course, there is an age factor, but it is also because most of the essays of these candidates are sparse and unfocused.

But after all, Yu Shinan is a secretary and supervisor, so many years, how bad an article has he not seen?

So no matter how bad it is, it can't make him angry.

At most, I can only sigh with emotion: The literary world of Datang is not as good as the generation.

It's the officials below, it's not that someone is indignant and scolds the candidates for not making sense of logic.

But in any case, unless there is that kind of rebellious remark in the article, it is generally only a bad evaluation at worst.

At this time, an official suddenly exclaimed, "Duke Yu, I have seen a masterpiece!"

When Yu Shinan heard this, he immediately said with interest: "What can make your demanding guy call it a masterpiece must be extraordinary!"

So saying, he got up and planned to go over.

But how dare that official bother Yu Shinan, so he picked up the policy in his hand that was called a masterpiece and walked towards Yu Shinan.

Yu Shinan took the strategy and read it silently.

"To secure the people, we must first enrich the country......"

Good!

After reading the article, Yu Shinan wiped his eyes with emotion.

It's been a long time since I've read such a good work!

The other officials were also shocked when they saw Yu Shinan's movements.

can make Yu Lao so moved, as long as his other competitions don't lag behind, then this person is afraid that this person will be the leader of this year's Spring Festival!

Yu Shinan put away the strategy and said:

"Such a talent should be used by His Majesty!"

And the people understood what he meant.

There is no doubt that this will be one of the ten that have been selected to be presented to His Majesty.

Yu Shinan took a few deep breaths, and his expression slowly calmed down.

Although my heart is still agitated, there are still many strategies to be reviewed at this time.

So he said, "Colleagues, time is tight, please hurry up."

"Obey the teachings of Elder Yu!"

The group continued to review.

But suddenly, another person exclaimed.

"Elder Yu, I have discovered a genius of the world!"

Everyone heard the sound and looked.

Again?

The person who spoke up was the one who had spoken before.

Elder Yu rubbed his temples and said straightly, "Take it."

To be honest, he was a little unconvinced that the second piece of strategy that he had chosen could reach the level of the previous one.

Because such a talented person often only produces one in a few years.

Once in the spring, I found two such talents, and the probability is too low.

But even though the second person is slightly inferior to the previous one, he is still a rare talent.

With this in mind, Yu Shinan opened the second policy.

"If the people are to live and work in peace and contentment, they must first establish their foundations."

"What is fundamental? Land too!"

"Only when people have land to cultivate and houses to live in can they live in peace and then work happily......

Yu Shinan's eyes lit up.

This person's problem-solving angle is different from the previous one.

The former, from the perspective of the state, believes that economic construction is the foundation of everything.

If you make the people rich, you can make them safe.

The people are rich and the people are safe, and then the country is strong.

The latter, on the other hand, believes that in order to make the people rich, they must first be given land.

Only when the people cultivate the land and have houses to live in can they settle down to develop well and contribute to the rise of the country!

I can't tell who is better than what the two think.

But Yu Shinan is sure that these two people must be talented people who have a deep understanding of the situation in the Tang Dynasty.

They have different claims.

However, they are all based on reality, in line with the existing situation and situation of Datang, make reasonable analysis and inference, and then give examples to support it.

The whole strategy is detailed and strategic, and the details are appropriate and complement each other.

Yu Shinan immediately showed a smile on his face.

Seeing the wrinkles on Yu Lao's face, everyone knew that the candidate who wrote that article must have also entered Yu Lao's eyes.

In the next grading, Yu Shinan was not sleepy at all.

His mind kept reverberating with the ideas and rhetoric of the previous two articles.

So much so that the eyes of the next strategy have changed a lot.

In the past, the strategies that could be scored to the good grades, compared with those two excellent works, can only be beaten to a passing grade now.

And Yu Shinan also looked forward to whether there would be a third such disciple.

Although he knew that it was rare for two such talents to appear in a year.

But after all, there are expectations for this.

Suddenly, the man spoke again.

"Old Yu!"

Yu Shinan hurriedly got up and said, "Did you find another talent?"

When the man heard this, he was stunned, and then said embarrassedly, "Old Yu, I'm done reading."

When Yu Shinan heard this, he was slightly disappointed, but he still patted the other party's shoulder and encouraged, "Good job."

Then, go back to work and wait for the other invigilators to finish grading.

It was nearly dusk, and all the strategies had been reviewed by at least two invigilators.

Of course, this is actually for the sake of insurance.

After all, every official's political views and ideas are different.

Perhaps the same essay is quite reasonable in the eyes of one examiner and can give an excellent grade, but in the eyes of another examiner, it may be biased, or even barely qualified.

In this way, he can get a higher ranking if he gets to the former, while the latter may be inferior to Sun Shan.

In order to minimize the occurrence of such things, Datang adopts cross-review.

That is, a paper should be read by at least two examiners, and if the final grade is the same, it will be fine.

If not, it will be handed over to a third examiner for grading.

Of course, if it is still different, then this paper will be rated as a controversial volume.

In the end, Yu Shinan will lead a group of examiners to evaluate together.

Of course, under normal circumstances, there are relatively few controversial volumes.

After all, everyone is a colleague, and you can't see you when you look up.

You are optimistic about the talent, I can't give a very outrageous low score, everyone can't get over the face.

In the end, the selected excellent essays will be reviewed by all the examiners, and finally the best works will be selected and handed over to His Majesty for review.
