How many years, Suning finally realized the teacher's mood of correcting students' exam papers, thinking that back then, when Suning was still in school, what he wanted to do most was the teacher, because the teacher has the right to correct the papers, and the exam papers are the most frightening and restless storage zài, this kind of power made Suning envious and jealous at the beginning, and very much wanted to obtain the same power, controlling the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the whole class, and having the power of life and death.

But now when Suning is really asked to sit at the table to judge the candidates' results, Suning no longer has the original desire, as he thought before, some things before you do it, you will be excited, you will fantasize, you will yearn, you will can't help but imagine how happy and complacent you should be after you do it, but the result is often no feeling, at most a little relaxation, allow yourself to eat a good meal, and then continue to work hard.

Looking at the exam papers in front of him, Suning knew that he had the same power to make these candidates happy, angry, and sorrowful, this kind of power is very interesting, when it does not exist zài, you desire, when it saves zài, you will feel trembling, extremely sacred, and dare not have the slightest negligence, not to mention that His Royal Highness the Prince, who represents the future of the Tang Empire, is by your side to participate in the marking together.

It's not that Li Chengqian directly marks the papers, Li Chengqian was not granted the right to mark the papers by Li Erma, Li Erma Xià thinks that Li Chengqian's ability does not lie in the marking of papers, the profession is not right, he is not allowed to mark the papers, only allows him to check the examination papers after being evaluated, and learn, Suning is a member of the Zongheng family, so he can naturally participate in the marking, and as far as the "Zizhi Tongjian" is concerned, Li Ermaxi has recognized Suning's academic status, so Suning is allowed to participate in the marking.

There is no clear distinction between disciplines in the imperial examination, only the distinction of positions, and some scholars who are not well-known can only judge the examination papers of some relatively low-level positions according to their own strengths and skills. The examination papers of candidates for important officials of the county government such as Fa Cao Gongcao are judged by the marking team headed by Yu Yong, a famous scholar of Legalism, and Suning is naturally one of them, so Suning can see the examination papers of those so-called talented people who have the confidence to apply for these difficult positions.

It's funny to say, this imperial examination method is only the fourth time, and it is very different from the imperial examination that was common before the former Sui and the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, when referring to them, many candidates cannot understand the significance of these exams in time, the basic meaning of the questions and the key points of the answers, and most readers who have only received Confucian education in the past do not understand how these practical questions are different from what they have learned.

Because the University of Political Science and Law has only been open for four years, the first batch of graduates was not allowed to graduate until a year ago, and not everyone is willing to take the imperial examination after graduation, so there are not many candidates for the University of Political Science and Law, this is the time when the second batch of students of the University of Political Science and Law graduated, and there are less than 1,000 students of the University of Political Science and Law among the tens of thousands of people who participated in the imperial examination. The rest are folk scholars and scholars, whose thinking has not yet completely changed.

It is true that there are many people who refer to it every year, and many people are selected, but it is worth noting that when the imperial examination was first held, more than 100,000 people applied for the examination, but only more than 1,000 people were admitted, catching up with the proportion of students admitted to military universities for the first time. The Tang Dynasty court did an assessment survey on this situation, and the result of the study was that the people's wisdom was just beginning. Education has just begun to spread, and the study of Zongheng and Legalism and other hundred schools of thought are not well known by the Tang people, and most scholars still understand the imperial examination as the previous Confucian imperial examination.

They do not understand what it really means to be selected by examination based on official position.

So in the face of a lot of strange exam papers, although Suning felt funny, but there was no sense of happiness, this situation actually means that it is very difficult for Datang to open the road of popularizing people's wisdom. There is still a lot of work to be done, and this is just the beginning.

"Well, what is the answer? When asked how he should be interrogated in a theft case, he directly said that he would be tortured and that he would not be afraid to admit it. How can such a person allow him to be a county magistrate? How dare such a person apply for the post of county magistrate? Alas! His Royal Highness the Prince, this imperial examination is estimated to depose many people! A forty-year-old criminal department official sighed at Li Chengqian, and kept shaking his head.

Li Chengqian drank tea, looked at the examination paper, shook his head and threw this examination paper aside: "The people's wisdom has just opened, education has not yet spread to their area, they still think that it is now the original imperial examination, and the explanation of Jingyi is well written, but it is only an examination of basic skills, and more important things have not been mastered at all. ”

Suning handed the scroll in his hand to Li Chengqian: "Ask him about farming, and he will answer me Zi Shiyun, this is also a reference to the position of the county order?" This is the previous imperial examination to be able to choose such a person, full of absurd words, the people below only have a handful of bitter tears, such a nerd who picks out words not only to be deposed, but also to severely reprimand him, such knowledge and attitude, if more people learn in the future, I don't know how many people will be harmed. ”

Li Chengqian took the test paper, looked at it, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, no, there are too many people like this, one by one is really fatal, now Datang has indeed popularized indoctrination in many places in Guanzhong, and there are also many places in Jiangnan and Shuzhong in Shandong, but on the whole, only less than 30% of the land has popularized indoctrination, and most people still don't understand what the situation is like for a hundred schools of thought, so that the talents we can select will be greatly reduced." ”

Suning said: "This matter is not in a hurry, it takes time to make paper and books, it takes more time to train teachers, it takes more time to improve the education system, we can't be in a hurry, we can't be in a hurry, we are in a hurry, others will be in a hurry, everyone is in a hurry, this matter is over, so ah, this has to be slow, you are saying such things here, you can't say it to the officials below, as soon as you say it, they may not want to do something."

We have to take our time, first of all, we must send people to those areas where we have not yet popularized education to publicize the significance of the latest imperial examinations of the imperial court, as well as the examination methods of our selection of officials, the content of the examination papers and so on. We have to say, don't let people in those places continue to read those Confucian scriptures, reading those things is not good for them, and the fewer people who can read, the greater the loss for us. ”

Li Chengqian nodded approvingly, and then put down the exam paper. stood up, looked around, picked up a review paper from time to time and looked at it, most of them were very bad exam papers, but from time to time you could also see a good exam paper: "Sanming, this one is still good, you look at this strategy, it is good, how to review officials." How to coordinate a matter of affairs, there is a lot of potential to be a chief, this should still be possible, should be given a pass, let him participate in the actual test later. ”

Suning took the exam paper and looked at it, and his eyes lit up, after reading all the crooked melons and bad dates. When a very normal flower suddenly appeared, he would naturally feel more happy. Looking at his consideration of the position of the county commander, as well as the policies of many very important places such as agricultural law and defense, Suning felt that this person was good at agricultural affairs, but he didn't know much about military affairs.

You can't expect a fledgling newbie to know everything. What he should understand most now is how to learn how to practice, instead of doing everything in a mess.

Suning nodded and admitted: "This person should have the potential to pass guò, you can also take a look, if there is no problem, this person can be regarded as a pass guò written exam." How about participating in tomorrow's test? ”

Suning circulated the exam papers to the great powers of the review team, and everyone discussed it in groups of three and two, and felt that it was feasible, so they unanimously agreed that this person passed the first assessment, and could participate in the second assessment, and it was worth paying attention to, it was worth paying attention to and cultivating, if there was a chance, he might be a very good official.

Of course, this matter can't be generalized, maybe this guy is just a good theorist, once he encounters the actual test, he will drop the chain if he doesn't do it, so everyone has reservations, no one said that this is an unborn genius or something, but he was allowed to pass guò.

After the review, there were also a lot of exam papers that made Suning cry and laugh, and the strange way of answering made the examiners fall for it, and there was also a candidate's answer to how to manage agricultural affairs was to get a bunch of potato seeds and let them plant potatoes together, anyway, it was easy to live, and you could also eat a full stomach, how good!

This guy doesn't understand how potatoes are grown, and he doesn't know what the so-called potato seeds are, he just takes it for granted, naturally, it is impossible for such a person to be elected.

The day's marking is over, with full of exhaustion, Suning was pulled to the East Palace by Li Chengqian, personally gave Suning a hand, let him cook a table of wine and food to treat the tired two, tomorrow there is still a day of marking tasks, until the day after tomorrow can prepare for the second exam, the second exam is also their main exam, you need to be present throughout the whole process, presumably it is a fierce physical and mental storm.

Suning made Li Chengqian's favorite fried chicken and poached eggs, these are these two things that this guy likes to eat the most, and then with a little wine, he actually has a very good atmosphere, and the fatigue of the day seems to have been swept away.

At the same time, Zhang Cambodia received an invitation from Kong Yingda, Kong Yingda invited Zhang Cambodia to go to his home for dinner together, to talk about some questions about his exam and the content of his ideas, Zhang Cambodia Zhi was a little confused and worried, after all, he said something very excessive before, Kong Yingda, as a descendant of Confucius, his own approach is simply against Kong Yingda, openly insulting Confucius, Zhang Cambodia is very worried that Kong Yingda will do something else.

However, it turns out that Zhang Cambodia is a villain's heart to spend the belly of a gentleman, although Kong Yingda is pedantic and does not know how to be flexible, but he does have a belly, and after many accidents, this belly has gradually become a habit, the decline of Confucianism let him know that he is no longer as detached as before, Li Er Majesty treats him as before, but he can't find much sense of security, he always feels that under the double oppression of the Zongheng family and the Legalists, he is very dangerous, and Confucianism is also very dangerous.

He wanted to call Zhang Cambodia over, just to have a meal, he didn't want this young man who chose the Zongheng family to have any special prejudice against Confucianism, according to Kong Yingda's own judgment, this young man's future achievements and Suning's favor for him, it is obvious that there must be a place for him among the future leaders of the Zongheng family, if such a young man does not have a good impression of Confucianism, and even hates Confucianism, then it will have a greater impact on Confucianism.

So that's all.

Zhang Cambodia thought too much. (To be continued......)
