Zhuge Changmin glanced at Zhu Shou with disdain, and said softly: "Something that has no interest." ”

Although Zhu Shou glanced at Zhuge Changmin resentfully, he didn't dare to say anything because Duan Ye was by his side.

Duan Ye actually had some contempt for this Zhu Shou in his heart. In Duan Ye's opinion, if you go to a brothel, you will go, although this thing is not as glorious as many people think, but it is not such a thing to avoid. Besides, if you don't go yourself, no one can force you to go, right? What's it packed in?

Thinking of this, Duan Ye glanced at Zhuge Changmin a little.

"We have also arrested a few people who fought with you." Duan Ye said slowly, "However, don't misunderstand! Duan Ye raised his fingers, "At present, I don't have any law in Liangzhou, which says that you can't go to a brothel, and I don't say that you can't go to an official, and there are no regulations for you candidates who come to take the imperial examination, even if you are not guilty, so I can't do anything to you!" I'm arresting you because you're fighting and setting fires! But the law prescribes it. ”

"What do you want?" Zhuge Changmin asked.

"Lock you up for three days! That's all. After Duan Ye finished speaking, he and Xiao Chu turned their heads and left.

Zhu Shou and the others shouted and begged for mercy, but Zhuge Changmin sat there, holding his arms and thinking thoughtfully.

After a while, Zhuge Changmin smiled.

As Duan Ye walked, he said to Chu Yunshen: "Xiao Chu, you have to keep an eye on these people, especially that Zhuge Changmin. ”

"Adults like him?"

"Yes." Duan Ye said, "Anyway, if he dares to go to the brothel to relax before the exam, even if he has the courage, when he sees me, he is neither humble nor arrogant, he is a gentleman, compared to Zhu Shou's people, this Zhuge Changmin is a character." Not to mention...... I'm sure it's a talent! You remember, you have to record the conversations of several of them for me. ”

"Yes. But ......"

"But what?" Duan Yeqi said.

"This ...... Aren't there a few people locked up next door? Chu Yunshen said.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Duan Ye patted his head, "Who are these people?" ”

"They are all the children of some gentry."

"Is the plea coming?"

"Uh, it's already here. However, the adults never gave these people face in the past, so they have been hanging around outside the gate of the Assassin's Mansion. ”

"Hehehe." Duan Ye thought for a while and said, "Whatever, what about these people, I'm gone, you send someone to talk to them, saying that it's just a few days of detention and discipline for them, huh?" ”

"Yes."

In fact, this is just an episode before the imperial examination, and from then on, until before the exam, nothing big happened.

What shocked Duan Ye was that during the period when Zhuge Changmin and others were detained, Zhu Shou and the others first cried and shouted, then scolded, and finally got tired and honest for a while, and finally a few people started chatting with Kan Dashan.

Duan Ye looked at the record of their conversation, but found that it was basically some useless nonsense, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

It's this Zhuge Changmin, who has been sitting there almost all these days with his eyes closed.

Probably because he made trouble this time, in front of Duan Ye, Zhuge Changmin's attitude was too arrogant, so that Zhu Shou and others drew a clear line with him, and they didn't even talk to him much.

And this Zhuge Changmin is really calm, for such a thing, he is not annoyed, not anxious, let alone complaining, you don't talk to me, I just stop, and I don't talk to you.

On the paper about Zhuge Changmin, not even a page was used. This made Duan Ye secretly worried.

By the way, Duan Ye found that although there was already papermaking in this era, Duan Ye was still very excited and wanted to see the legendary four major inventions. But when I really saw it, I realized that it was not what I thought.

Papermaking has actually existed for a long time, so Duan Ye originally read a primary school textbook, saying that it was invented by Cai Lun is not true, Cai Lun is just improving.

In the early days of the invention of papermaking, the main raw materials for papermaking were tree bark and rags. At that time, the rags were mainly hemp fibers, and the varieties were mainly ramie and hemp. The initial paper is made of hemp skin fiber or hemp fabric, because the papermaking technology is still in the early stage, the process is simple, the paper texture is rough, with more unloosened fiber bundles, the surface is not smooth, not suitable for writing, generally only used for packaging.

The papermaking technique of the famous eunuch Cai Lun is actually not difficult technically, and it only needs to use bark, hemp and cloth, fishing nets and other plant raw materials to make paper through frustration, pounding, copying, drying and other processes. This kind of paper, the raw materials are easy to find, and it is relatively cheap, but the problem is that this paper is not good-looking, and it is not very suitable for writing.

However, Cai Lun's real merit lies in the fact that after his improvement, a set of relatively stereotyped papermaking processes has been formed, which can be roughly summarized into four steps: the first is the separation of raw materials, that is, the raw materials are degummed in the lye by soaking or cooking, and dispersed into fibrous forms; The second is pulping, which is to cut off the fiber by cutting and pounding, and make the fiber broom, and become pulp; The third is copying, that is, the pulp is soaked into a slurry, and then the pulp is scooped with a mat to make the pulp interwoven into a thin sheet of wet paper on the paper grab; The fourth is drying, that is, the wet paper is dried or dried, and when it is removed, it becomes paper.

Originally, Guzang had a paper-making workshop, and Duan Ye went to see it in person, but the unpleasant smell and poor production conditions made Duan Ye shake his head, and the paper produced really made people have no desire to write.

Of course, Duan Ye himself, in fact, likes silk silk the most, because this thing has a beautiful texture, smells, touches, and is very comfortable, but the cost is too high, and the senior officials of the government can use it, even if it is done, the imperial examination that is going to come now, and the candidates will undoubtedly need to use a lot of paper to answer the questions.

After careful thinking, Duan Ye finally found that in fact, to improve the quality of paper, the key is to add something to the pulp, after repeated experiments, it was finally determined that the pulp was added with alum, glue, powder, and sprinkled with gold, and finally made a paper with exquisite texture and not too high cost.

But after making it, although Duan Ye ordered mass production, he didn't plan to send it to the officials for the time being, and he planned to surprise the candidates during the exam, which could be regarded as a benefit.

As for the questions of the exam, Duan Ye thought about it again and again before deciding on the subjects and topics.

First of all, the Baguwen must be examined, and it is insisted on by Duan Ye.

The reason is very simple, in fact, Baguwen was seriously demonized in the era of Duan Ye, a group of down-and-out literati who were not good enough in the old era, mixed badly, and couldn't write Baguwen well, and became famous by virtue of their good luck in the new era, so they began to liquidate Baguwen, and even attributed the country's poverty and weakness to Baguwen.

This is clearly excessive.

No matter how you say it, Baguwen is just a kind of application essay, which tests the most basic writing ability. Although the format is very rigid, but in the application text, where is there so much room for you to play? It is true that Baguwen can't get a lot of other things out of the exam, but if you can't do even the simplest things, why do you believe that you can do more complex things?

All in all, in the era of Baguwen, the real talents were not harmed, and the real people who were used in that era, including Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, and Zhang Zhidong in the late Qing Dynasty, which one was not able to write a beautiful Baguwen?

Anyway, nowadays, the style of writing is more flashy, basically everyone can write a little bit of Lu Si Liliu, Duan Ye himself loves to watch this, so let them play well.

Another important one is policy.

Duan Ye asked them to come over, because they could work if they came, of course, we must first examine their level to see if they can have the relevant level. And strategy is the best way Duan Ye can think of at present, after all, you can't give them an internship first.

The so-called strategy is actually to give ideas to the government, and of course it is indispensable to talk on paper, but there is no way to do it, and furthermore, from the level of the article, in fact, there is something that can be seen.

As for the other Junshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, and Mingmath, of course, this is also to be examined, Duan Ye is never too little for talents, but after all, it is necessary to distinguish priorities, and this time it is mainly focused on the selection of administrative personnel. The main thing that is needed is a long product that can be used for specific administrative operations.

Of course, what Duan Ye fears and hates the most is cheating. So he didn't intend to take a detour, but began to practice obfuscation and transcription at the outset, and to establish a new system to prevent favoritism. Because I also know that if I don't care about it, then even if this session may be fine, but the phenomenon of favoritism and fraud will become more and more serious in the future. Duan Ye thinks very clearly about this, everything else is easy to say, only the selection of talents must be fair, otherwise it will chill the hearts of people all over the world.

The measures of the Duan industry are mainly the establishment of a system of obfuscation and transcription. This method sounds very simple, the so-called obfuscation is to seal the name and place of origin on the candidate's examination paper, the purpose is to prevent favoritism.

But this is not enough, because, after the name, you can also know calligraphy and painting. Because the handwriting is determined in advance, after collusion, the examiner can cheat based on the handwriting.

Therefore, Duan Ye will not give them a chance, Duan Ye has already prepared a bunch of people, and after the candidates finish answering the papers, the candidates' test papers will be transcribed separately. When the examiner marks the examination paper, not only does he not know the candidate's name, but he also cannot read the candidate's handwriting. Duan Ye believes that this system can be very effective in preventing the examiner from favoritism.
