Wang Meng is actually about the same age as Li Yue.

Clean up and put on new clothes, and people will be much more pleasing to the eye.

He is not handsome in appearance, but he has the perseverance and majesty that the northern Han people often have.

Li Yue rewarded him with a mansion, he did not resign, named him the king of Liang Zuo Changshi, or resigned, "No merit is not punished, His Royal Highness has always been rewarded for hard work, and there must be punishment, this is the foundation of governing the country, not to be wasted, I heard that the imperial examination is approaching, and I am willing to try it out." ”

He was so confident, Li Yue didn't say anything.

After handling daily affairs, he must be found to talk about major events in the world, ancient and modern anecdotes.

Wang Meng is erudite and talented, and he often hits the nail on the head, which makes Li Yue very useful.

However, staying with Wang Meng all day also aroused the jealousy of other forces, and there were many people who secretly inquired.

Li Yue had to increase school affairs to protect his safety day and night.

The whole winter just passed.

After the beginning of the year, Liang Guo was busy again.

The soldiers were trained on safaris, the people tended their land, the slaves built the roads of the counties, and Tsukihime continued to build the medical house.

More and more people are receiving maternity subsidies from the government.

Li Yue patrolled Yecheng and could often hear the cries of babies one after another.

And the cry also makes people's hearts feel steady.

The news of the imperial examination was released at the beginning of autumn last year, and at the end of the year, many people from all over the country rushed to Yecheng.

In the first imperial examination, people in other places were on the sidelines, the world was in chaos, the roads were impassable, there were thieves everywhere, and the news spread slowly.

The region with the most talents is undoubtedly Koto, but the celebrities of Koto do not look down on the northern country.

Li Yue glanced at the list of imperial examinations, there were 875 people, forty percent were Cui, Liu, Lu, Zheng and other surnames, forty percent were Bian, Bao, Zang, Xin and other heroes, and the remaining two percent were the children of the Hanmen monk Wutang, and there were very few real Shu people.

Those who can read and write in this era are by no means ordinary people.

Ordinary people don't have access to books at all, and it is difficult to fill their stomachs by working all day long, so how can they have time to read?

This is also the reason why the nobles did not oppose the imperial examination.

The imperial examination is divided into three purposes, clear scriptures, clear calculations, and policy discussions.

The Ming Jing began in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Xuan Shao Xi "Yan's Spring and Autumn Period", and the general number of family laws, the beginning of the establishment of the martial arts, and the Ming Sutra.

The northern kingdom has been reduced to Hu Chen for more than 40 years, and Ru Mao drinks blood, and the classics of the sages naturally have a certain progressive significance.

And the Confucianism of this era has not been castrated, not only is it not rotten, but it is also relatively vigorous.

The two Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, digging through the Western Regions, and those who cut people off the horse and ruled the people were all Confucians.

A generation of great Confucian Lu Zhi raised troops to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhuge Wuhou, Sima Yi, and Lu Xun were all familiar with the classics, but in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the wind direction changed, turned to metaphysics, talked about fiction and metaphysics, retreated but not pragmatic, indulged in pleasure, extravagance and erosion, and was ashamed of serving in the army.

The six arts of a gentleman, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Mathematics is among them.

Li Yue personally believes that mathematics is the starting point of all sciences, and that not only medicine has made great progress in the Wei and Jin dynasties, but also has unique features in mathematics.

At the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, Liu Hui, a master of arithmetic, had sorted out the classical mathematical theory system and advocated logical reasoning.

Li Yue personally feels that Huaxia does not lack metaphysical things, but lacks the spirit of seeking truth from facts.

Adding Ming Calculation is always much more reliable than metaphysics and the like.

Moreover, mathematics is also very useful, and in the future, people with a certain mathematical foundation are needed to measure land, count population, calculate expenditures, etc.

Of course, what Li Yue values most is strategy.

It is equivalent to the way of governing the country through national consultation, and the Han Dynasty has taken shape.

The topic is also simple and straightforward, the way to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

The exam is divided into three days, the first Ming Jing, the most people, almost became a special session for the children of the noble and strong of the scholar clan, the second Ming calculation, most of them are the children of Shangwutang and a small number of strong children, and the third game is a lot less, only a few thirty-one people.

However, Li Yue also saw that although there were few strategists, they were all elites among the children of the noble clan.

Even Cui Hong personally went down, and the Zheng family also sent the talented Zheng Huo, Liu Qun's grandson Liu Zhao, Lu Chen's grandson Lu Miao, etc., all came to join in the fun.

The most special of these people is Wang Meng.

After the imperial examination, the Ming Jing and Ming Calculation were handed over to Liu Qun, Shen Zhong, and Tiao You for review, and Li Yue reviewed his own policies.

Most of them are nothing new.

It's just to increase taxes, reclaim fields, encourage childbirth, etc., the calligraphy is good, and it is catchy to read, which shows the literary accomplishment of the children of the family.

But there is cultivation but not much nutrition.

In order to achieve this goal, the three counties in eastern Hebei can be cut out, and concentrate on the development of the Central Plains......

Li Yue didn't even look at his name, and burned it directly.

As soon as the door of cutting the soil and seeking harmony is opened, it is difficult to close the back.

Taking a step back this year is not the sea and the sky, but someone else's inch.

The Liang Yan family is already an endless situation, and whoever retreats will never recover.

Even Cui Hong's policies are all clichés, such as laws and decrees, the establishment of court ceremonies, and the reform of the official system.

These things are useful and useful, but not at this stage, there is no time to get these bells and whistles.

Only Wang Meng's strategy is eye-catching, advocating that the four prefectures of Henan should be moved to the periphery of Yecheng, with the big ones gathering in the city and the small ones setting up Wubao forts, increasing the strength of Yecheng, and at the same time reducing the control of the strong and powerful over the local area, and releasing the land and population.

“…… In the past, the Han Dynasty was so strong, because the past dynasties moved the world into the land of Gyeonggi, and the Great Liang embraced the land of Hebei, Henan, Yan, Qing, Xu, and Yang, but was trapped between the north and the south, why not? Big but not strong, wide but not prosperous, the scholars are strong and strong, the small ones have thousands of private soldiers, the big ones are more than 10,000, and the fertile land is all owned by them, and they do not pay taxes and do not accept forced labor! The counties and counties are all old officials of the former dynasty, no enterprising heart, no desire to care for the people, the country is slightly turbulent, the north votes for Yan, and the south votes for Jin......"

After Li Yue finished reading, he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Wang.

Wang Meng, Wang Meng, it's really a fierce medicine.

If this policy is spread, I don't know how many guns and arrows will be directed at him.

Now the question is in front of Li Yue, whether he dares to drink this fierce medicine.

I also admire Fu Jian in history, since ancient times, good ministers and Ming lords complement each other, just like Shang Ying and Qin Xiaogong, without Qin Xiaogong's unswerving support, how long can Shang Ying live? Without Fu Jian's support, Wang Meng is also very rare.

He came at the behest of Ge Daliang.

A smile rolled up at the corner of Li Yue's mouth, burning Wang Meng's strategy.

The dust settled on the first imperial examination of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The Ming Jing hired one percent, the Ming Calculation seventy-five people hired seventy-two people, and the remaining three people didn't even know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide the basics.

Policy theory, Liu Zhao, Lu Miao, Zheng Huo top three.

Cui Hong is fourth, which can be regarded as a beating on him.

Wang Meng only ranked ninth, Li Yue promoted him to Dong'e County, and Yanzhou Haoqiang was mostly in this county.
