Chapter 633: Between Ice and Fire
A handsome young candidate said loudly: "My lord, is it possible that what we have learned so hard over the years has been rejected by you with a word?" Is reading so useless in your eyes? In this case, why does the empire still organize us scholars to conduct scientific examinations, why bother so much, isn't it more time-saving and labor-saving to find the right talent you say directly? After questioning and saying the voices of all the candidates, everyone looked at the candidates who questioned loudly, and then looked at Yuan Fang.
Yuan Fang glanced at everyone and said to the person who spoke: "I never said that reading is useless, what I said is that it is useless to read dead books, blindly copying and imitating, it is equivalent to plagiarism, since you have read so many books, how many of them have become your own after really digesting them?" I emphasize again, what the empire needs is real talents, not mediocre people who follow the script, well, it's not too early, the candidates start to enter, and again, if someone is found cheating, they will be disqualified from the exam on the spot, and they will be deprived of all their fame, and they will never be hired. ”
Such a severe punishment suddenly diverted the attention of the candidates, some of the candidates who had a fluke mentality hurriedly took out the copied things from all over their bodies, stuffed them into the accompanying people or discarded them directly, no one dared to carry prohibited things anymore, joked, deprived of all fame, and never hired, if they were really caught, their lives would basically be wasted, and no one dared to take risks, not to mention that they had just seen the general's domineering and deeds.
Yuan Fang ordered the candidates to enter, and the candidates obediently lined up to walk to the door of the Xuanxian Institute, but no one moved. Seeing this, Yuan Fang raised his eyebrows, pointed to the two dumbfounded guys at the door and said, "What are you doing?" Work hard. The two were taken aback by Yuan Fang, bowed their heads and did not move.
Yuan Fang walked up to the two of them with a stiff neck: "Yo he, don't speak, it's golden to play silence with me, okay, if you keep silent, I promise to let you not speak for the rest of your life, come on." Hula, a small group of female soldiers surrounded them, holding the hilt of their swords and glaring at the two of them, daring to confront Yuan Fang, which was an extremely bad behavior that the female soldiers could not bear, and they could not tolerate it.
The two of them were surrounded by so many soldiers, especially the fierce eyes of these female soldiers, the two of them were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they were silent, and finally the older one couldn't bear such pressure, bowed down and said: "Lord Yuan, it's not that we don't act, but the academician in charge of this matter has been driven away by your people, and we are just the bachelors in charge of the invigilation." ”
Yuan Fang followed the eyes of the person who spoke, looked back at the guy who was lying on the ground wailing not far away, nodded and said, "Oh, so that's the case, I'm wrong about you, those guys probably won't be able to come back to work in a few months, you two will do a favor, the candidates are waiting." ”
Hearing this, the bachelor looked embarrassed and said: "Lord Yuan, the bachelors and academicians of our Xuanxian Academy perform their duties and do not interfere with each other, if I do this, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold here in the future, and besides, we are not good at checking the candidates' belongings, I am afraid that there will be some omissions, which will affect the fair conduct of the scientific examination, and I hope that the adults will understand." ”
The bachelor's tone was sincere and resolute, Yuan Fang thought about it and stopped embarrassing them, after all, he was not the chief official here, and it was too unconscious to force the two dragons: "Okay, I'm not difficult for you, what should you two do, don't be an eyesore here." Sang Rou, Yuyue, you take two teams of people to check the candidates. Sang Rou and Jieyue responded to the order, led two teams of female soldiers to line up on the wall, and instructed the candidates to search their bodies one by one and enter the examination room.
The peripheral inspection is very smooth, and the candidates are also very cooperative, anyway, everyone is 'clean' and not afraid of the inspection, besides, the people in charge of the body search are all female soldiers, and some literati are already happy in their hearts, and they want to take advantage of the opportunity, but after a few similar people were slapped a few times by female soldiers, everyone was honest.
It doesn't matter if you are a scholar or not, and what your achievements will be in the future, especially female soldiers, they can say 'fearless', because Yuan Fang is there and there is a brother-in-law to support them.
For about half an hour, the candidates entered the Xuanxian Institute in turn, and under the guidance of the two bachelors, they went to the back examination room.
This time, the examination room is the same as before, each candidate is arranged in a separate room, the back, left and right are blocked by grilles, only the front is empty, and the weather is very cold at this time, and there is a charcoal stove in each room for heating.
Candidates entered, but the exam papers were late, time, for these candidates is the future, is hope, some of them have lost their breath and began to whisper.
Or the two scribes just now, after Yuan Fang inquired, he learned that the examination papers were sealed by the bachelors of the Xuanxian Academy, and the university scholars had been forcibly escorted to the palace by Yuan Fang, and the two scribes did not dare to ask for the examination papers privately.
Yuan Fang sighed at the tendons of these scholars, kicked open the door of the main hall where the examination papers were enshrined, took the examination papers away, and tore open the imperial seal in front of all the candidates and distributed them by the female soldiers.
There are a total of five test papers, two of which test literary skills, that is, make an essay according to the topic, and the remaining three test the candidate's human geography and a small amount of life knowledge and interpersonal relationship processing, etc., these questions are basically written by Yang Xing himself.
Old God Yuan Fang was sitting opposite the candidates in the examination room, admiring their bitter and anxious fidgeting expressions, and several bachelors also abided by their duties and supervised the candidates all over the room.
In fact, without their supervision, no one dared to cheat, because there were one or two female soldiers with sharp eyes standing outside their small rooms without exception. Time passed little by little, Yuan Fang, who was sitting in the chair, felt cold hands and feet, the weather was too cold, and he couldn't help but get up and move to promote blood circulation.
Yu Jingqiu sent someone to find a few charcoal stoves and put them beside Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang felt better after roasting the fire, Yuan Fang was not a selfish person, he cared about his subordinates very much, so he ordered someone to rummag through the entire Xuanxian Academy, took enough charcoal stoves and charcoal from the warehouse, and equipped a stove for the female soldiers who did not supervise the candidates.
Yuan Fang's move attracted the strange eyes of many candidates, but the faces of the female soldiers bloomed with smug smiles, they knew that their brother-in-law would never treat them badly, because he was a good brother-in-law of all female soldiers.
Yuan Fang sat on the chair and thought about things, Sang Rou and the others couldn't stay a little longer, first looked around, then chatted in a whisper, and finally simply divided into two ways, two people stayed to protect Yuan Fang's safety, and the remaining six were scattered, with their hands behind their backs, pretending to be old scholars all over the examination room, and living the addiction of the invigilator.
