Chapter 86: What's the Pity of Giving Up the Exam?
"Complaint? What is the complaint? ”
Hu Hai smiled and shook his head mysteriously, "Sir, just wait for my good news!" ”
Jiangxia, "......"
He just wants to hold on to Hu Hai and not be clever. But with Hu Hai's arrogant character, I'm afraid that no one can suppress it except Brother Zheng.
Jiang Xia sighed helplessly in his heart, hoping that it was not bad news, or worse news, so he could only vaguely remind, "Everything is too late." ”
Hu Hai didn't know if he understood Jiang Xia's hints, but Ying Yinyan looked like he didn't understand, "Mr. seems to care about Hu Hai very much, can my stupid brother grow into something in the future?" ”
Jiang Xia's throat rolled, almost choking to death from his own saliva.
Hu Hai?
Talent?
Jiang Xia's cheeks twitched slightly, and he didn't even dare to look at Ying Yinyan's expression, for fear that he would not be able to help laughing.
"The princess thinks too much."
"Really?" Ying Yinyan tilted her head suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong, "But Mr. doesn't pay much attention to the other sons, and even doesn't like the eldest brother very much, why is this?" ”
Jiang Xia, "...... Probably, the concept is not compatible? Or, the personality is incompatible? ”
Ying Yin Yan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, Jiang Xia had already quickly changed the topic, "How many people do you think the princess will abandon the exam in the afternoon?" ”
"Huh?" Yingyin Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at Jiang Xia in a daze, and was really diverted, "Why did you give up the exam?" ”
Jiang Xia shrugged his shoulders, "I probably knew that the content of the morning exam was completely incompatible, and the exam was completely out of play, so I just gave up struggling?" ”
Just like many exams in later generations, don't look at a lot of propaganda about how difficult this exam is and how low the pass rate is, by the way, search for the abandonment rate and naked test rate, which is very helpful to improve self-confidence.
Ying Yin Yan said very firmly, "There must be no one who will abandon the exam!" After all, wouldn't it be a pity to give up after traveling all the way from other places? Always give it a try. ”
"It's not a pity." Jiang Xia smiled and shook his head, without explaining more.
Yingyin Yan's big eyes were full of confusion, and she didn't know what Jiang Xia meant at all.
Soon, Ying Yin Yan understood.
After the morning exam time was announced, many candidates had a depressed expression on their faces, and even some candidates collapsed and squatted in the corner crying before they left the exam room.
Several candidates who knew each other walked together and discussed whether it was necessary to continue taking the test in the afternoon......
The pride of these days has suffered too much in this morning.
Jiang Xia carefully observed every candidate who came out of the examination room, although most of them didn't seem to have done well in the exam, but there were a few who seemed to be quite relaxed.
Jiang Xia took a half step back and said to Ying, "Those few who seem to have done well in the exam, make a list for me, and bring their results after the exam is over." ”
"Whoa."
These people don't necessarily do well in the exam, but their mentality is really good.
After the exam started in the afternoon, there was no need for Jiang Xia to say, Ying Yinyan looked at some of the empty seats scattered in the examination room, and a few question marks slowly popped up on her little head, "With such a great opportunity, did they really give up?" Obviously, the announcement of the imperial examination is very clear, admission is based on rankings, and everyone knows each other about the morning exam, and there are not many people who can do it, so why not come to take the afternoon exam? ”
"In fact, some people, in fact, are only at the level of literacy, and they come to sign up for the imperial examination just to try their luck."
For example, Zhao Ji.
What if you get admitted, what if the number of people who are admitted is large?
"There are also some people who have already found jobs in Yangwu or other places during this time, so it doesn't matter if they can pass the exam or not."
For example, the teachers he recruited in Yangwu recently, and the account offices recruited by various factories and restaurants.
Yangwu's talent gap is too big.
Even though Yangwu has popularized basic education for more than a year, where is it so easy to cultivate talents?
These people who came from afar just filled these vacancies.
Ying Yin Yan suddenly thought of Sanchuan's regulations, going to various places to publicize the law, teaching and so on can be counted as voluntary labor time, and a certain length of labor time can directly apply to become an official!
There is no hope for the imperial examination, so the curve will save the country?
The corners of Ying Yinyan's mouth twitched, and her expression when she looked at Jiang Xia instantly became very strange.
She always felt that her husband's arrangement of the order of the exams was not at all to select candidates with good psychological quality, but simply to let more students stay in Sanchuan and do that kind of voluntary work!
Indeed, many candidates who gave up the exam immediately beat their chests after hearing about the questions in the afternoon, as if they could pass the test if they took it.
However, soon those candidates who abandoned the exam were very happy again, because the Yangwu Yamen issued an announcement to stop recruiting volunteer laborers.
In addition to giving some psychological comfort to those students who have already signed up, the most important thing is that a lot of them have indeed been recruited, and there is no need for so many voluntary workers for the time being......
As soon as the examination ended, Jiangxia sent people to organize the students who signed up for voluntary labor to train them, and when the training was almost complete, they were sent to various villages, or lent to Brother Zheng.
At the same time, Ziying also sent news to Jiang Xia.
It is true that other places in Sanchuan did not encounter troublemakers like Lu Ao, but met a few Confucian scholars from the small sage village...... Participate in scientific expeditions.
Ying Yin Yan snorted coldly, pursed her lips disdainfully, and looked angry, "The eldest brother is so good to those Confucian students, but those Confucian students pretended to fall out with the eldest brother and quietly ran to Sanchuan to participate in the imperial examination?" ”
Jiang Xia didn't care too much, "Those people gathered around the eldest son, aren't they just for the future?" Now that he continues to follow the eldest son, he is about to go to the Xiongnu, and the future is uncertain, and he may even have to take his life. Now that Sanchuan has such an opportunity, why don't they try it? ”
The truth is like this, and Yingyin Yan also knows it, but she is still very unhappy, "How many times did these people bewitch the eldest brother and let the eldest brother have a conflict with his father?" If it weren't for the eldest brother's protection, my father would have attacked these Confucians a long time ago! Where is there today? ”
Ying Yinyan's face was quickly filled with worry, "I don't know if the eldest brother has arrived in the Xiongnu now, and whether he has encountered any danger." ”
"There should be no danger, it is impossible for Your Majesty to let the eldest prince venture into the hinterland of the Huns alone. What's more, isn't the army going north to conquer the Huns? The Xiongnu are about to become the land of my Great Qin, what danger can the eldest son have in his own territory? ”
