"The lord doesn't know that Dong Zhongshu put forward the suggestion of 'May Your Majesty Xingtaixue and Masters to support the people of the world'?" The old fox's eyes blinked, and he slowly began to reminisce about the past and the present.

Ma Chao was so angry that he had the urge to pull Jia Xu's beard, but now that people's IQ is obviously higher than him, he still begged others, so he could only pretend to be a grandson and replied: "I know about this matter, but what does this matter have to do with the imperial examination?" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry...... Listen to the humble duty and speak slowly. Jia Xu didn't see that Ma Chao was on the verge of breaking out at all, perhaps, after seeing it, he would be so meticulous and slow, right?

According to the intention of Dong Zhongshu, Emperor Wu established Taixue in Chang'an in the sixth year of Jianyuan. In the beginning, there were only doctors of the Five Classics in Taixue, and there were fifty disciples of doctors. From Emperor Wu to Xin Mang, the subjects and number of subjects in Taixue gradually increased, and courses such as "Book of Changes", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Legend of the Ram", "Biography of Gu Liang", "Zuo Chuan", "Zhou Guan", "Erya" and so on were opened......"

Speaking of which, Ma Chao already has some signs of an outbreak. But Jia Xu didn't seem to be satisfied, and after twisting his goatee, he glanced at Ma Chao and continued: "In the fifth year of Jianwu, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, built Taixue outside the Kaiyang Gate in the southeast of Luoyang City. Later, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty also went to Taixue to preach the scriptures. In the first year of Emperor Yongjian of Han Shun, Taixue was rebuilt and expanded, spending a year, employing 112,000 apprentices, and building 240 rooms and 1,850 rooms. The students recruited are called too students. Subsequently, the number of students increased to 30,000. ”

"Enough!" Ma Chao couldn't see that Jia Xu was acting in front of him and deliberately stimulating him. At the next moment, he pulled off Jia Xu's goatee and said: "Old fox, hurry up and tell the relationship between this Taixue and the imperial examination, otherwise, I will make it difficult to protect your beard!" ”

"Lord......" Jia Xu covered his chin and screamed: "My subordinates are going to say the next sentence!" ”

Ma Chao saw that Jia Xu was still so obsessed, so he took another step forward, so frightened that Jia Xu hurriedly retreated again and again, and said bitterly: "Emperor Wu to Emperor Shun, a disciple of the doctor of the year, and those who are selected can fill the vacant officials!" ”

"New Year's lesson? Supplemental officer? Ma Chao is not a fool, after Jia Xu's words, he understood what the old fox meant: Since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has a tradition of promoting students to officials. At present, there is a shortage of empty officials in the Ma family, so it is natural to use the guise of 'Emperor Wu's ancient system' to carry out the imperial examination!

"Since the lord entered Fufeng, he has built a great school. Two years later, it has already taken effect. Although there are still deficiencies in other counties, Fufeng is a place where the sound of learning is loud, and the people know that Fufeng's school can allow children to enter school for free, so they naturally send children to the school....... "Jia Xu is honest now, while Ma Chao is still thinking, he quickly said what he meant, so as not to abuse him again for no reason."

"But that's just to teach children to be sensible and polite......." Speaking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help but blush a little: because in this school, in addition to teaching children to read and write, it also instilled some brainwashing concepts of 'Ma Chao is destiny', and fundamentally created an iron-like Ma family world from the next generation.......

"But how do outsiders know this?" Jia Xu immediately jumped up, and said in a tone that hated iron but not steel: "The way to change is to confuse. As long as the lord Zhang Bang informs Yongzhou that there is a shortage of officials and officials in the Ma family now, and he wants to follow the ancient system to select talents, then this is also the responsibility of inspection. At that time, it is only necessary to state that the learned people are all students of the Ma family, so these people will not be promoted by the main public examination when they reach Fufeng? ”

'Yes...... Ma Chao stroked his palms and laughed, looking at Jia Xu's old face and feeling very kind: those who read are not stupid, especially those guys who travel thousands of miles to study, they are even smarter. As long as the notice states that they can join Fufeng to participate in the selection, then they are still running as fast as rabbits? When the time comes, let your subordinates come out with an examination questionnaire and have a written interview, isn't that the imperial examination?

Moreover, in this way, no one has yet been able to grasp their handle. After all, as a pastor of Yongzhou, he also has the responsibility to recommend good talents for the imperial court, which not only follows the ancient system, but also selects talents, which really kills two birds with one stone.

Of course, in this way, you can't rely on the influence of the imperial examination to subdue the hearts of the Shu people in the world in one fell swoop. However, Ma Chao also knows that at present, with his reputation, he can make wind and rain on one third of an acre of land in Yongzhou, which can be regarded as the best of the sky.

"Wen He is really scheming, and he ....... what he thinks" Ma Chao didn't feel embarrassed at all, and took the credit on himself with one mouth.

At this time, Jia Xu gradually fell into it again, frowned and pondered, and then asked, "I just don't know, how should this exam question be set?" ”

Hearing Jia Xu's question, Ma Chao couldn't help but ponder: This question is indeed not a trivial issue, but a very, very, and particularly important one.

The so-called learning of the Eastern Han Dynasty people is mainly "scripture", that is, the Confucian classics and the popular study of the weft at that time, and the study of the weft is actually a superstitious thing, using the changes of the heavens to predict things in the world.

At this time, the role models worshiped by scholars were also as talented and agile as Kong Rong, as clear and outstanding as Li Ying, as brilliant as Cai Yong, and as knowledgeable as Lu Zhi; Many people are full of poetry and books, and the articles are very good, but when it comes to governing the country and leveling the world, it is very likely to be a straw bag.

And some people who are not so good at poetry and songs, such as Jia Xu and Li Ru under Ma Chao, are basically masters of mental cunning, but they have their own unique views on governing the world through the country. But when it comes to letting these two play with poetry and songs....... Hehe, haha....... Ma Chao smiled bitterly and sneered twice in his heart, and really felt that this topic was a little cold.

In view of this, Ma Chao began to wonder in his heart, under his own rule, will the word endowment only account for a very small proportion, and the policy will occupy 70% to 80% of the share? The so-called policy theory is to make your own analysis of the current situation and put forward corresponding countermeasures, which is the same as the analysis of current affairs in the modern civil service examination. At this point, for those who read dead books, nerds who read dead books will be a threshold that cannot be crossed, and it is also very easy for Ma Chao to find out the talents he needs.

"There are celebrities and capable people in the world, but celebrities and capable people are not complementary to each other, famous people do not necessarily have ability, and there are many people who have ability but may not necessarily have fame, may be unknown. According to Wen He's opinion, does the Ma family need celebrities, or capable people? Ma Chao didn't answer the rhetorical question, but in the question, he had already expressed his intentions.

"Naturally, those who deserve their names and have both ability and integrity are the best choices, but if you have to choose one of the two, then the lord must have a plan in his heart......." Speaking of this, Jia Xu also smiled.

And Ma Chao smiled more obviously: "That's natural, I also hope that some people like wealthy families, social elites, and celebrities can support the Ma family." But after seeing the wind and rain in Chang'an, he really saw the essence of 'meat eaters'. Therefore, I can only recruit a sinister and cunning guy like you old fox to help the Ma family......."

"Lord, what you said really hurt the hearts of your subordinates......." Although he said this, the smile on Jia Xu's face became more and more brilliant.

"Collapse nonsense! This imperial examination is also entrusted to you. After three days, if you can't come up with a specific plan and delay your father-in-law's wedding, you should be careful of that beard! After that, Ma Chao was in a happy mood and drifted away.

But Jia Xu was sad and difficult to resolve: the draft of the six-ministry system of the three provinces, Niu Fu's counteroffensive to Chang'an, and now the matter of the imperial examination is added....... Lord! Isn't it time for the old man to mention some of this year's Yulu?!
