Chapter 715: Exam!
"My father's illness has been cured." A middle-aged man knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, looked at the old father lying on the cart, and said, "Dad, we have been accepted here, and your illness has been cured." ”
The old man was very weak, but when he heard his son's words, he also squeezed out a smile and said, "Son, you must remember the kindness of His Royal Highness King Weihai." ”
This scene is constantly playing out in this shed.
Everyone is a hard-working person who has come from all over the world, in order to have a hope of life.
Everyone knows that it is a thankless task for the King of Weihai to pay for money and materials.
But people did it, not only did it, but did it well.
Those who have no permanent property will be given permanent production, and those who are unemployed will help to buy a house, and the sick will be treated free of charge, and they will not have to pay grain tax, and they only need to take one or two months out of the slack period a year to send out the conscription, and the place of the conscription is in Weihai.
Managing two meals a day is simply unheard of and unseen.
Soon, it was Wang Shouyang's turn.
Wang Shouyang took his own road guide and handed it to the people in the office.
These people are very welcoming and very attentive in their inquiry.
Knowing that Wang Shouyang is a scholar, these people are even more enthusiastic, and those who come to Weihaiwei are generally ordinary people.
And the reader is not desperate and will not come here.
If you have a meritorious reputation, you generally don't have to worry about eating and drinking.
"Sir, do you have any fame?"
Wang Shouyang thought for a while and said: "I have no fame, but I learned to write at the age of three, and I memorized the four books and five classics backwards, and I could write and draw." ”
Hearing this, everyone didn't ask any more questions, saying that there was no fame in breaking the sky, and he was not even a child, which showed that this person's talent was limited, but Zhu Jun meant that he did not use his fame to turn his talents.
Immediately, they led Wang Shouyang to another small room, "Mr. Wang, here is a test paper from His Royal Highness, with a full score of 100, if you can answer 50% correctly, you will be considered a pass!" ”
Wang Shouyang looked at the test paper in his hand and felt that it was particularly interesting, what if he got a full score?
"The highest score is only 70 points at the moment!" The examiner said.
Wang Shouyang was eager to try, and immediately began to write papers.
This volume is also particularly interesting, the content is mostly some arithmetic, and then there are civil affairs issues.
There are several aspects involved.
Wang Shouyang thought to himself, this volume is ingenious, it seems that King Weihai wants to select comprehensive talents.
Some of the first questions are relatively easy, but the further you go, the more difficult they become.
There were two topics that made Wang Shouyang slightly stunned, "Is there a chicken or an egg in this world?" If your mother and father fall into the water at the same time, who will you save first? ”
Wang Shouyang didn't know how to write for a while, but looking at these two topics, he felt more and more that King Weihai was a wonderful person.
Anyone who sees this kind of topic will be enlightened.
After thinking about it, he began to answer.
It was only half an hour before he handed in his test papers.
The examiner looked at the neat test papers, as well as the words like blades, and couldn't help nodding.
This kid is a good handwriter.
"Sir, take a break, warm up with some hot tea, and if you're hungry, eat some snacks!" The examiner bowed his hand and left.
Ah Fu asked, "Young Master, why don't you say that you are the champion of the Golden Branch?" ”
"And tell them, have I been reprimanded as a champion?" Wang Shouyang glanced at him, "I'm not in a hurry to find King Weihai right now, I want to see how they distribute us next."
It's good to be sincere, but I'd like to see more. ”
Wang Shouyang is an extremely proud person, otherwise he would not have confronted Zhu Yuanzhang on the spot in the Jinluan Palace.
What he decided to do, even ten cows couldn't pull it back.
But he's just straight, not stupid.
Zhu Jun did too well, but that's why he wanted to see Zhu Jun's shortcomings.
If you are talented, even if you start from the basics, you will definitely be able to become famous.
That's how you can learn more.
At the bottom, you can see the embodiment of Weihai Wang's thoughts, and find the answers you want from them.
"Young Master, ...... big meal"
"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat!" Wang Shouyang knocked on his head, "You just ate five big steamed buns in one go, and you haven't eaten enough?" ”
Ah Fu wiped the scraps from the corners of his mouth and swallowed his saliva with difficulty, "I'm dry, I want to drink chicken soup to moisten my throat!" ”
Wang Shouyang laughed angrily, but he also blamed him, he was very good to this little scholar, he ate and lived with him, and he grew up together since he was a child, so he naturally didn't have too many restraints.
Just when the two were arguing, several examiners got together to mark the test papers.
But in a quarter of an hour, the score came out, and the correct rate was as high as 90!
"Such a high score!" The examiner at the head said: "Go and inform Lord Cai and send the test papers over, this is a talent, Your Highness will be happy if you know it!" ”
Weihaiwei needs talents, not just illiterate people, widows and children.
To tell the truth, a thousand people, maybe 600 people, are burdens, either children or women and children.
The rest of the people either don't have the ability to be around, or they are poor people who don't know a word.
They have to arrange shelter for them, and they have to ensure their livelihood in the early stage.
There is a lot of logistical pressure.
In just over a month, tens of thousands of people poured into Weihaiwei.
This not very big county town is stuffed to the brim.
Many people persuaded Zhu Jun to only accept talents, and not to accept these people casually.
Generally, it is the desperate people who will leave their hometowns and try their luck here.
You know, the daily expenditure here is now more than 1,500 taels, and it is 45,000 taels a month.
This is only the expenditure on materials, not counting the cost of building houses and expanding the county.
Someone has calculated that if you want to build Weihaiwei into a big city with more than 500,000 people, it will cost no less than 2 million taels.
That's an astronomical amount.
But the Weihai Wangfu was not afraid, nor did it oppress the people, but just endured it silently.
Therefore, it also makes all the people more grateful.
Cai Guan was looking at the information sent by the disciples from all over the world at this moment.
In the past two years, he has recruited no less than 1,000 disciples for the Weihai Palace.
These disciples are all capable, it's okay, he doesn't look down on them at all.
Most of these people are now at the bottom to act as petty officials.
Of course, having the ability is secondary, and the most important thing to accept them is loyalty to Zhu Jun.
Cai Guan also listed loyalty to Zhu Jun as the first priority.
In private, they all call themselves 'Weihai King's lackeys'.
It's just that most of these people stayed in Yingtian and Fengyang, or stayed in Jiangnan to promote Zhu Jun's thoughts.
Weihaiwei is short of talents, so how to introduce talents is a big problem.
In his opinion, although His Highness's move has attracted a large number of people, it is not so easy to attract real talents!
