Chapter 590: Imperial Examination (continued)
"I don't know what to do."
In the palace of Lunu City, among the students who were immersed in the test papers, someone suddenly took the case and asked, "What is the significance of such questions?" ”
Because there are so many students who have registered for the exam, even if they vacate all the official offices and even the treasury, it is still not enough.
In desperation, Li Yunze could only contribute even his own palace to the students' exams.
Even so, in the face of countless candidates, it can only be taken in turns.
As for leaking the topic or something, there are naturally corresponding institutional arrangements to deal with it.
It's like students from different schools mixing up for exams and supervising each other. After the end of the test, they are not allowed to leave, and they are gathered to wait for the next round of candidates to enter before walking, etc.
The various schools of thought basically hate each other, and they are eager to trample each other into the dirt, even if they are different factions in the same school, they are like fire and water, and of course it is impossible to collude.
Even if someone really colludes, once it is found out, in this era where reputation is greater than life, this person will be considered finished.
Not only himself, but also his family, his school will be disgraced because of this, and he will not be able to raise his head for many years when he is pointed at.
But even so, Li Yunze also arranged for a soldier to constantly patrol inside and outside the examination room.
Even he himself found time to come to the examination room to inspect.
It just so happened that the student's roar was heard by him.
Li Yunze paused, turned his head to look at Zhidu behind him, "Go and see?" ”
To the capital respectfully saluted: "Everything is in accordance with the king's orders." ”
This person was a Lang official when Emperor Wen was a Lang official, and a Zhonglang general when Emperor Jing was a general.
Two years ago, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, went to Shanglin Yuan to play. Jia Ji, who was accompanying her, went to make it convenient, but suddenly a wild boar ran out and broke into the toilet.
Liu Qizhi went to rescue the beauty, but Zhidu did not respond.
When Liu Qi wanted to save the beauty with a knife, he was stopped by Zhidu.
The original saying is, 'If you lose a concubine, there will be countless concubines entering the palace, will there be a shortage of people like Jia Ji in the world?' Even though Your Majesty looks down on herself, what about the ancestral temple and the queen mother? ’
Liu Qi was persuaded, but Jia Ji was lucky, and the wild boar ran away.
By the way, that Jia Ji is the biological mother of Huang Zisheng.
This time, Zhidu was dispatched, on the one hand, to escort the new Taifu Shifen of Zhongshan to take office, and on the other hand, he himself was appointed as a lieutenant of Zhongshan Kingdom.
Well, the previous lieutenant Wu Gang could only be a sad and automatic retirement to become the deputy of Zhidu.
Normally, only the officials who assisted the king were the prince, and the minister who commanded the hundred officials was appointed by Chang'an, and the rest were arranged by the king himself.
In some important places, or places where you are not at ease, the lieutenant in charge of military power will also be arranged by Chang'an.
But Li Yunze is clearly different here.
Taifu Shifen was carefully selected for him by Liu Qi, the son of heaven, who had already been prominent during the period of Emperor Gao and had a great reputation after several dynasties.
And he has four sons in his family, all of whom have achieved an official position of 2,000 stones.
A family of five males, known as Wan Shijun.
Coupled with Zhang Ou, who officially served as the minister of state, and Zhidu, who was specially arranged, this is clearly sending talents to Li Yunze.
Zhidu also brought a letter from Liu Qi, which said that whoever he fell in love with just said that the Son of Heaven would arrange it.
Li Yunze is very satisfied with these, and finally has someone who can help him share the work.
walked into the examination room with Zhidu and walked straight to the candidate with an angry face, "Why are you angry?" ”
When the candidate saw Li Yunze's attire, he knew his identity, and hurriedly saluted and explained, "The contemptible really don't know what the use of such a problem is. ”
The eyes of many candidates around them were overlooked, and they were actually puzzled by such a difficult question.
Li Yunze looked at him calmly, "The topic is indeed difficult, but if there is no difficulty, how to select talents?" As for the usefulness you say, this king will ask you, when it rains heavily in the rainy season, the Hutuo River floods, flooding countless villages on both sides of the river. This king wants to govern Hu
If you don't know how much water the Hutuo River has, how can you deal with it? ”
"This"
The examinees' faces were ugly, and they were unwilling to say, "Just build a dam on both sides of the river."
"Huh."
Li Yunze smiled indifferently: "Is the dam repaired during the dry season or in the rainy season?" ”
"Let's have a dry season"
"How high, how thick, how long can it be built to keep out the floods during the rainy season?"
“.”
Looking at the candidate's flushed face, Li Yunze shook his head, "You have to know what the flow of the Hutuo River is before you can calculate what kind of dam needs to be built, whether you need to build a reservoir to store water, and so on." And that's just the basics. If it is connected
I don't understand this, how to control the water? ”
The examinee was obviously anxious, gritted his teeth and said, "King, I didn't come to the imperial examination to control the water. ”
Li Yunze, who was already about to leave, paused in surprise, "What did you say?" ”
"We participated in the imperial examination to seek officials, and to represent the king and herdsmen on behalf of the Son of Heaven. You just need to know how to herd, collect taxes and levy labor, you don't need to"
Before he finished speaking, Li Yunze had already kicked over.
Even under control, his strength directly kicked this fool into the air.
"If such people like you are officials, they will only bring disaster to one party." Li Yunze, who had a black face, waved his hand, "Throw it out, throw it out of Zhongshan Kingdom, and then write the world, tell this person that this person is a waste, get out!" ”
Waiting for the kicked and blood-vomiting candidate to be dragged out, Li Yunze looked around the examination room, "Who thinks the same way as him?" ”
In this case, whoever dares to say that he is also thinking like this will naturally be answered.
"This king does not collect waste, nor does he collect scum."
Li Yunze said with a dark face, "After the exam, this king will have an interview, if they are all such scumbags, then you can get out now!" ”
The examination room was silent, and no one dared to speak.
Li Yunze lost interest in continuing to inspect, turned around and left with Zhidu.
Back in the palace, Li Yunze simply instructed, "To the capital, this king ordered you to be a patrol envoy to inspect the counties of Zhongshan Kingdom." Up to the county order, down to the strong. But whoever is on the evil side will be dealt with by you. ”
The expressionless Zhidu immediately saluted "喏~~~"
is a character in the annals of history, but he is a cool official!
In order to restore the national strength as soon as possible, the early Han Dynasty advocated the inaction of Huang Lao's technique, which led to the rapid expansion of local power.
Such powerful families, whether in the Han Dynasty or in later generations, were rampant in the same place, contemptuous of the government and did not abide by the laws of the country.
And the local officials are usually inextricably linked with them, so that even the county guards of 2,000 stone have no way to take them.
It's different, he's a cool official.
Wherever to be a county guard, he first inquired about the situation and determined the goal of the Haoqiang family, and then went directly to the slaughter with the soldiers and horses.
Its powerful deterrent power can even make the county unstoppable.
Zhongshan Kingdom, which has only eight counties, is actually not enough for him to play at the level.
The imperial examination proceeded smoothly, and a large number of talents could soon be selected.
And what Li Yunze has to do is to make room for those who collude with local heroes and do not do things as soon as possible.
In this regard, Zhidu is the fastest knife.
After experiencing the cruel torture of the math exam, the originally arrogant candidates were all honest.
They thought they had learned to be rich and rich, but when they took the next exam, they realized that there were too many things they didn't understand.
For this kind of thing, Li Yunze has always scoffed.
The five carts full of bamboo slips are nothing, and the number of words recorded on them is not even comparable to the Internet in later generations.
According to the standards of this era, as long as the people of later generations have gone to kindergarten, they are all rich and rich.
The content of the third exam is astronomy, geography, history and customs.
The so-called astronomy is naturally not to look at the stars, but to understand the climate.
As for geography, it is also not for them to write poems praising the scenery of mountains and rivers, but to understand the land.
Needless to say, history is a mirror from history, and we must not make the same mistakes again if we know the mistakes of history.
The customs are more realistic, and it is directly to understand the people's livelihood.
Those who can perform well in these aspects are naturally suitable to be officials.
After three rounds of exams, as many as ninety percent of the candidates were brushed off!
In terms of language, most of them can pass smoothly.
But mathematically, it has fallen a lot.
As for astronomy, geography, history, and so on, some people are proficient in one aspect, but not many are proficient in all of them.
After nearly 10 days of review, all the candidates' results came out.
Li Yunze had no intention of concealing it, and very simply erected a big wooden sign on a street outside the palace of the Debt King, preparing to paste the results of the shortlisted candidates directly.
On the days of Zhang Bang, it was crowded outside the palace.
Countless students gathered outside the palace, anxiously waiting for the results to be announced.
Most of the candidates are indeed here to seek officials.
But in fact, there are still some people who come to prove themselves, or to add glory to their school.
All the sons and hundreds of schools of thought say that they are good, but how can they distinguish between the superior and the inferior?
In the past, it was to see who the court used, and who was naturally strong.
Qin Legalist swept Liuhe, and at that time it was naturally the Legalist dominance.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Huang Lao's technique was used to govern the country, and it was naturally Huang Lao's family who had the right to speak.
But now, all the families and factions have gathered, and everyone is taking the exam in the same examination room.
This is also one of the reasons why the scale of this imperial examination is so large.
The gate of the palace finally opened, and Zhang Tang, who had been promoted by Li Yunze to the lieutenant of the Zhongshan Kingdom, stepped out first.
The Western Han Dynasty set up hundreds of officials, which were the same as the imperial court.
There are some in the imperial court, and there are also in the feudal state.
There is a court lieutenant in the imperial court, and the former court lieutenant Zhang Ou is now the state minister of Zhongshan State.
And Zhang Tang, who came over on a business trip with Zhang Ou, was directly promoted from a Jingzhao official to a court lieutenant.
Even if he is only a court lieutenant of eight counties, he is also a court captain.
The students retreated one after another, making way for Zhang Tang and the others.
He took the first report card from the hand of the little official behind him and pasted it directly on the first wooden card.
Immediately, Zhang Tang took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "This time Zhongshan Guoke is the first to be raised, and the master of Linzi is Yan!" ”
