Chapter 214, Exam
"Talking about ideals, being able to draw a big pie, and giving both grace and power, this land god doppelganger is already a qualified capitalist."
Fang Rui sighed secretly.
He no longer had any doubts about whether this clone would be able to spread the great cause of the way of the incense fire gods.
"As the other party said, when the Land Temple and the City God Temple are truly opened all over the nineteen states, the way of the incense fire gods will be completed, and it will be the time when the doppelganger ascends to the throne of the Immortal Monarch."
"The first step has been taken, the follow-up is just a snowball, all I can do is speed up the process."
Fang Rui thought about it and looked at Yu Yunlan: "Yu Daoyou, let's go!" β
"Are you going back to Jianye?"
Yu Yunlan suggested: "The incense fire god system has expanded, Fang Daoyou, you can consider the candidate of Zixiao Pavilion." β
As the head of Zixiao Pavilion, she did not forget to help her subordinates fight for their interests.
"That's what I thought."
Fang Rui bowed slightly: "The pilot project in Songping Township is successful, and the next step is to gradually expand the incense fire spirit system, and high-level talents are urgently needed, and those upright people in Zixiao Pavilion are exactly what the incense fire spirit system needs." β
"This is far from enough, if you want to cover Nanyu with the incense god system, you still need more talents to devote yourself!"
"Fang Daoyou, is the scientific expedition prepared for this?"
Yu Yunlan's eyes flickered.
Thinking about it at this time, the front and back were connected in series, only to feel that it was suddenly connected, and she couldn't help but secretly marvel at Fang Rui's far-reaching layout, one ring after another.
"Sort of!"
Fang Rui did have this thought: "On Jianye's side, Li Cao has news that someone is restless again. Scientific research is not only a national policy, but also a system of incense gods, which must not be destroyed! β
The two spoke, turned into a streamer, and returned to Jianye.
β¦β¦
Jianye, small courtyard.
Knowing that Fang Rui and Yu Yunlan had returned, Li Cao brought Xin Xue'er over that day.
Under Li Cao's hint, Yu Yunlan left with Xin Xue'er, and she and Fang Rui stayed behind to discuss matters.
"Lord, the incense god system has been completed?"
"Let's just have a ......prototype," Fang Rui briefly said about the trip.
"It's a happy event."
Li Cao imagined: "When the land temple is built in every village, the evil can be greatly contained. It's just that in order to achieve this level, you need a lot of talented souls to join, right? β
She is worthy of being an emperor for so long, with a unique vision and a sharp point.
"Indeed, this is the biggest factor restricting the promotion of the incense god system at present."
In this regard, Fang Rui had no choice, he couldn't kill the living: "Fortunately, it takes time for the treacherous calamity to evolve, and it can be controlled for the time being, and there is still time to select scholars through scientific examinations as the seeds of the incense fire god system in the future." β
"That's just as well. Speaking of scientific expeditions,"
Li Cao's voice was cold: "Recently, many ministers have made a recital, saying that in the future, the disaster will become more and more violent, endangering the transportation of various state capitals, for the safety of candidates, please boycott the scientific examination." β
"This reason is high-sounding, but the thoughts behind it ......"
Obviously, those officials do not want someone to compete, to cancel their irreplaceability.
Li Cao can't do anything about these people, after all, he can't punish crimes because of his words, he can't be angry in front of him, but he is angry enough behind his back.
"How did you deal with it?"
"I suppressed these voices for the time being, the original intention was that I wanted to wait for the first scientific expedition to pass, and then see how the situation was handled."
Li Cao said, his eyebrows furrowed: "Lord, guess what's next?" In the matter of the scientific examination papers, those ministers started to write articles again, and the topics were all some famous classics, and most of the people selected in this way were afraid that they were nerds who were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, were not diligent, and did not distinguish between grains, so what use did I want these people to do? β
"I typed the test paper back and asked the minister to re-print it several times, but the result was much the same......
This is a game of kings and ministers.
In fact, what she said was already very restrained, and in addition, there were many courtiers who secretly resisted and did not cooperate with non-violence.
"Not only the courtiers, but also the Zixiao Pavilion, right? Is this the reason why you asked Yu Daoyou to avoid it? β
Fang Rui knew that those people in Zixiao Pavilion were upright, and it was true that he maintained the famous religion.
"Yes."
Li Cao smiled bitterly: "Those people in Zixiao Pavilion are indeed easy to use in the right place, but they are also stubborn and conformist. β
Yu Yunlan is the head of Zixiao Pavilion, so it is naturally not good to discuss how to do it in front of the other party, not because he is afraid of the other party's informant, but just to avoid embarrassment.
"There is no perfect person in the world, the key depends on how to use it, this is the way to control people. Of course, it can be seen that the resistance to the reform of scientific research is also huge......"
Fang Rui frowned slightly, but immediately stretched again: "Under normal circumstances, this will inevitably go through a long-term game, but now, with the Incense Fire Divine Dao, it is better to take a slightly bigger step." β
The essence of reform is to let vested interest groups cut their flesh, cede power, and distribute it to other strata.
In the early stage of the establishment of a country, the division of interests has not yet been saturated, and this is a good time for reform, which is relatively simple, and the more difficult it is in the future.
By the middle and late dynasties, the reforms would have to shed blood.
At present, the difficulty of reform is relatively small, but the specific implementation is also difficult. β
However, there is another way to make the pie bigger and compensate for the loss of those who have benefited from the reform, such as expanding outward. β
And now, my incense Shinto system is a big cake, which can fully assist in the implementation of scientific research reform. β
Fang Rui can see clearly: the two strategies of the incense god system and scientific research can complement each other, the former needs the latter's talents, and the latter can be implemented with the help of the former.
"The Lord's meaning is to give a reward, to the scientific research background, as well as the prestige of the official, to promise to become an incense god after death?"
Li Caofeng's eyes narrowed: "In this way, it makes the scientific expedition a huge attraction, and it is also a deterrent to officials, who are subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court during their lifetime and will be subject to control after death, and they can also make officials have the desire to restrain themselves in awe." β
"It is foreseeable that in the future, the atmosphere of Nanyu officialdom will be cleared."
This is a great thing, of course.
Moreover, if most people are lured to defect, the scientific research reform will naturally come to fruition, and if the people of Zixiao Pavilion do not cooperate, it will not matter.
"Not bad. However, don't disclose this matter for the time being, choosing an appropriate time is one thing, and the other is also a screening. β
Fang Rui suddenly smiled playfully: "I will write the test papers for this scientific examination!" β
β¦β¦
As the date of the scientific expedition approaches, there is an undercurrent surging in Jianye City.
Many ministers still have the idea of stifling scientific research and use treachery as an excuse to make troubles.
Of course, they also know that at this point, the first scientific expedition is imperative, but it doesn't matter, as long as the second and third sessions do not appear, it will be a victory.
There are also courtiers who support the scientific examination, but they have also recently had a disagreement with Li Cao on the exam questions.
Li Cao suddenly announced that there was no need to continue to ask questions, which made these people subconsciously think that Li Cao had already selected one of the previous test questions.
Suddenly, they celebrated, believing that this was a victory for Mingjiao.
All of this has always tugged at the heartstrings of the candidates in the city, but these candidates are just a speck of dust from the era under the influence, and they can only look up to those bigwigs to stir up the storm for the time being.
β¦β¦
Tingfeng Building, a private room.
There are three or five scholars gathered.
One of them, named Jiang Chen, before, Fang Rui and Yu Yunlan had a relationship when they visited Xuanwu Lake, that is, after the deceased.
"Brother Wang and Brother Li are here!"
The person known as 'Brother Wang', named Wang Chong, was acquainted with Xuanwu Lake before, chatted and speculated afterwards, met late, and became a confidant.
The person known as 'Brother Li', named Li Shiwen, is a native of Jianye City, the widow of Dayu, and met Jiang Chen at a poetry meeting.
ββIn this world, the three-character name is amazing, and the middle word represents the generation.
Only the official family, a family with a very high social status, can be inherited for ten generations in the name of the family.
Of course, there are also those who boast and frame the faΓ§ade, but in the eyes of others, it is mostly a joke.
Li Shiwen saw that Jiang Chen and Wang Chong were talented and intended to make friends, so he invited them here; Jiang Chen and Wang Chong wanted to inquire about some news.
Therefore, it was an instant hit, and this party was born.
"Listen to the duck in Fenglou, but it's a must, it's very good, Brother Jiang, Brother Wang, come and try it." Li Shiwen invited.
"Thank you, Brother Li, for breaking the bank."
"Brother Li, I wonder if there is any news about the recent scientific expedition in the city?"
"Naturally."
Li Shiwen pinched and rolled the pancakes, rolled up the duck meat with the unique 'duck eating etiquette' of the natives of Jianye City, took a bite lightly, and said: "I heard that because the world is becoming more and more troublesome, the scientific expedition may be canceled in the future, we are the first one, and I am afraid it will be the last." β
His family is the widow of Dayu, because of Anfen, he escaped in the previous blow against the widow of Dayu, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and he can still hear some news from the upper level.
"That's a ......"
Jiang Chen and Wang Chong glanced at each other, both with regrets.
"Such a good policy cannot be implemented because of the external environment......"
"Alas, it's great luck that we can catch up with the first one."
Jiang Chen sighed and asked, "Brother Li, I heard that the scientific examination questions have been rejected several times, what's going on?" β
"This matter is also simple, but it is a cabinet minister in the middle of the court, and he wants to come up with a title about the famous classics, but the empress seems to have different ideas, so she called back several times."
Li Shiwen laughed: "However, the empress finally chose to compromise and did not ask for any more revisions to the test questions, and the examination of famous classics is a foregone conclusion." β
"Unless the Supreme One personally intervenes, ...... Ha ha! β
He was joking, but obviously didn't think that this possibility would happen, because Fang Rui had already ignored the political affairs of the DPRK and China, how could he make a move for such a trivial matter?
"It's too high!"
Jiang Chen remembered the demeanor of Fang Rui he saw that day, and couldn't help but lose his mind slightly.
"Exam Famous Classics?!"
When Wang Chong heard this, his face was bitter: "My family has been poor since I was a child, and I can only learn the way of mathematics from my uncle, but I don't read many famous classics. Bitterness, how is this good? β
"I have a lot of classics at home, but I didn't bring more when I went to Beijing to take the exam."
"It's okay, I'll lend some to Brother Wang." Li Shiwen said with a smile.
At this time, it is approaching the day of the scientific examination, and I am not afraid to help the other party increase competition, but I am just selling a favor.
β¦β¦
In Jianye City, similar to this, there are not a few candidates who talk about scientific examinations.
Restless, worried, or happy...... They are in different moods and are preparing themselves.
This is the first large-scale scientific expedition in the history of this world, and while they witness history, they are also participating in history and writing history.
In the different moods of all kinds of people, the day of the scientific expedition has finally arrived.
β¦β¦
The first day of March.
Jiang Chen, Wang Chong and Li Shiwen came to the examination room together.
On this day, the weather was sunny, the wind was smooth, and under the sun, the examination room built was shining with golden light, and it was staggered.
At this time, many people have arrived, and the flow of people has formed a long line, and after verifying their identities, they enter in turn.
It is worth mentioning that there is no need for manual body search, this world has its own spells, and a flash of golden light will pass.
Of course, there were many people who tried to deceive and trick some small means, but under the spells arranged by Fang Rui himself, they were all caught and deprived of their qualifications for the exam.
"Let's go, Brother Wang, Brother Li, let's go in."
"I wish the two brothers the title of the gold list!"
"Haha, congratulations!"
The three passed the test one after another, entered the examination room, and were taken to different examination rooms.
"Zhu Bayi, No. 36!"
"Zeng Han, No. 72!"
β¦β¦
"Jiang Chen, herringbone one hundred and twenty-three!"
Jiang Chen was led into an examination room.
Click!
After entering, the large lock on the outside is dropped.
"It's close to the latrine, it's ...... luck."
Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Fortunately, he has a good psychological quality, and after taking a deep breath, he adjusts his mood and waits quietly.
Not long after.
At the window, pass in the test paper.
'Here we are! β
Jiang Chen spread out the test paper, first glanced at the questions above, and under this look, even if he was well-informed and mentally prepared, he was stunned.
1. Multiple choice questions (please fill in the serial number of the correct answer in parentheses)
No, who can tell him, what is the multiple-choice question?
Jiang Chen continued to look.
1. What is the ripening month of black potato? οΌοΌ
A. December
B. March
C. September
Ding, June.
'Black potato ripe month?! β
Jiang Chen grinned, and found that the multiple-choice questions involved a variety of knowledge, including famous classics, grain farming, and even astronomy and geography...... The whole nine yards.
Then, next is ......
2. Fill-in-the-blank questions (please fill in the correct answer in parentheses)
1. There are chickens and rabbits in the same cage today, with thirty-five heads on and ninety-four feet under them.
Chicken (); Rabbit().
'Numeracy problem?! β
Jiang Chen thought secretly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then looked down.
3. Short-answer questions.
1. Please list the significance of the scientific expedition.
'Finally normal. β
Jiang Chen sneered, his face expressionless, and continued to read the papers.
Fourth, the application of the problem.
The first problem is probably a problem in which each village pays taxes and finds the most reasonable location for the location, that is, the optimal solution.
Still, it is required to write out the thought process.
If you say, that's it, there are additional questions in the end, and the difficulty and depth are not the same as the previous questions.
"Shhh
After reading the test paper, Jiang Chen gasped, and only felt eye-opening.
Although he couldn't describe his mood at the moment, he felt a shock on his face.
It seems that the imperial court is not to select people who are dead and study, but to really test our ability? Relatively speaking, I still have the advantage. β
Jiang Chen had a realization in his heart, took a deep breath, and began to write.
β¦β¦
'It's not a famous textbook, God help me!' β
After Wang Chong finished reading the papers, he was secretly happy in his heart and answered quickly.
β¦β¦
On the other side, Li Shiwen was dumbfounded, his face was extremely ugly, and he was stuck in the first question.
No, damn it, who can tell him when the black potatoes are ripe? This is the, this unconscionable topic?!
β¦β¦
Jiang Chen, Wang Chong, and Li Shiwen are just representatives, and there are many people like them in this examination room, and their moods are also different.
or is so angry that he wants to scold his mother, or he is secretly happy in his heart, or he has a black question mark on his face......
β¦β¦
"Lord, your question is ...... That's nice. The corners of Li Cao's mouth were hooked, and the tone was particularly accentuated in the last two words.
Yu Yunlan's eyes like autumn water also had a smile: "Now, I'm afraid it's already noisy outside." β
"them!"
Fang Rui was lying on the activated rattan chair, his body swaying slightly, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, revealing that he was in a very good mood: "Across time and space, let the people of this world also feel the fear of being dominated by exams!" β
"Huh?!"
He seemed to have a sense, and suddenly looked at one place: "You're here." β
β¦β¦
