As a hammered cow, Ouyang Bian was drowsy with Ouyang Xiu's teachings.

Ouyang Xiu will be on an envoy in November, so he will take time to teach Ouyang Bian for the rest of the time.

Of course, Wang Anshi could actually do it for him, but he still felt that he should do his duty as a father, so he took time to give Ouyang Bian a lecture.

“… From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial examination system was implemented throughout the ages, but the questions of the scientific examination were different.

The imperial examinations are divided into Jinshi, as well as the Nine Classics, Five Classics, Kaiyuan Rites, Three Histories, Three Rites, Three Transmissions, Scholars, Mingfa, and Mingjing.

The exam contents of each subject are not exactly the same.

For example, the Mingfa exam mainly tests the legal knowledge and judicial skills that candidates master... "

When Ouyang Xiu saw Ouyang Bian's drowsy appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little angry and knocked on the table and said, "Monk, what are the subjects for the scientific examination?"

Ouyang Bian said lazily: "Poetry, classical meaning, theory, strategy."

The answer was quite correct, Ouyang Xiu nodded reluctantly.

"Yes, although the subjects in the scientific examination have been changed many times, these four subjects are required.

The so-called country uses subjects to capture the world's heroic talents, and uses the meaning to observe its proficiency, essays to observe its knowledge, and strategies to observe its talents.

Scientific examinations are about identifying and discovering excellent national governance talents.

Therefore, it is necessary to test the candidates' literary talent and aesthetic ability through test poetry and essays, test the classical meanings and their understanding and interpretation of classical principles, test the thesis to test their knowledge and insights, and test strategies to test the knowledge and talents to solve current affairs.

The talents selected in this way are the talents needed to govern the country."

Ouyang Bian was unable to complain about the shortcomings of the imperial examination, but the imperial examination was a better way at this time. At least, he had to inform the ancient and modern policy theory to obtain scholars. He still had to be familiar with the knowledge of "military punishment, financial responsibilities, rivers and canals, and the benefits and diseases of the border", so that he could get high scores in the policy theory.

In no better way, it's a good choice.

Ouyang Xiu carefully sorted out the content of the imperial examination for his son. He didn't have time to teach too detailed things, and he mainly focused on the overall situation, but he really sorted out some ideas for Ouyang Bian.

Time is very tight, so Ouyang Xiu tried to hurry as quickly as possible, which made Ouyang Bian feel very hurrying, but Ouyang Xiu is indeed a famous teacher, and he is easy to understand and very attractive.

This is the first time Ouyang Bian has heard Ouyang Xiu talk about exams. Most of the things I discussed before were about governance of the country, and how to take the exam was still the first time.

"I'm not worried about your policy. This area should have been the most difficult part, but with your pattern and vision, your language will be a little worse, which is not harmful. Jie Fu should also know that he should give you special training.

The meaning of the scriptures should not be a big problem, but the main thing is to memorize them. Your foundation has been laid very firmly, so the problem should not be a big problem. Instead, what I am worried about is your poetry.

The test-taking poems and essays are different from the usual poetry. You have a brilliant and talented poems, but there are some problems. Anyone with extremely high poetry and essays has a resistance to the test-taking poems and essays, and you have to learn to accept them."

Ouyang Bian smiled bitterly. He was not very talented in poetry. In this regard, he was really an ordinary person, so there was no need to worry.

So to put it this way, I am actually a genius in scientific research?

funny!

That being said, it is not that simple.

Ouyang Xiu hurriedly gave Ouyang Bian a month of special training, and then hurriedly went on a mission.

Bianjing also entered winter.

The first heavy snow fell, and the world was vast.

The Imperial College was tested at the end of the year, but it was not on holiday.

Because students have the least holidays, there is no winter and summer vacation, but only three days off in the winter food industry, the winter solstice and the New Year, which adds up to only nine days of holidays per year.

However, the students of the Taishen are all children of officials. They often ask for leave under the banner of "following their fathers to go abroad to work". They will be invited for several months and will return to school to take the big exam at the end of the year. As long as they pass the exam, they are still qualified to come out to be an official.

Ouyang Bian did not ask for leave because his father was on an envoy, but he took leave one month before the New Year because he was ill.

Of course, Wang Anshi, Hu Yuan and Mei Yaochen still have to teach.

Ouyang Bian asked for leave, naturally he was not lying at home or going out to play. By the end of the year, his work began to become busy again.

Although there are people in charge of every business, as the boss, he cannot completely defend.

Ouyang Bian asked for leave, and the first thing he did was to find Lu Caiwei and Yu Mou.

Lu Caiwei and Yu Mou are now Ouyang Bian's most capable assistants. These two people are watching his business, one is responsible for finance, and the other is responsible for the work of upcoming and issuing and supervision.

After listening to the rewards from Lu Caiwei and Yu Mou, Ouyang Bian spent half a month walking around everywhere, looking at the ice room, the east-west firewood, Chengyuan and West Lake City.

Overall, there are a lot of changes.

The expansion of the ice chamber and east-west burning is quite strong, and the entire Bianjing City has basically been spread out.

The more than 20 counties under Kaifeng Prefecture have also been laid with ice rooms and firewood in almost the most prosperous places.

As the most popular diet in Bianjing City, the laying of the county under its jurisdiction was very smooth.

The business in Chengyuan is getting hotter, but Chengyuan’s expansionism is not as good as that of ice chambers and firewood, but its income is not large.

West Lake City is not yet time to make a profit, but the first phase of construction is coming to an end. A lot of money is spent. The construction of West Lake City is very fast, but it is estimated that it will have to wait until spring to be fully opened.

Ouyang Bian’s main job is to repay the merits at the end of the year.

He has to decide on the strength of rewards, the bonuses that should be given, the jobs that should be adjusted, and the annual meetings that should be held. After a year of hard work, he has to give his subordinates a better year.

However, Ouyang Bian is planning a new thing.

That is, to use the company structure of later generations to set up a management company to manage many industries under its jurisdiction.

Ouyang Bian was very ambitious. He wanted to reform the operation of the industry and reform it into a combat-oriented and organized modern company organization. The management model of commercial institutions in the Song Dynasty was really too rough for him.

This is also an attempt for him.

Ouyang Bian mainly builds two departments, one is the Human Resources Department and the other is the Finance Department. Whether it is running a business or doing a business, as long as you grasp these two points, you will basically control the overall situation.

Yu Mou was appointed as the head of human resources, while Lu Caiwei was the head of finance.

In addition, Xu Fu was appointed as the head of business operations, while Fat Chef was the head of procurement.

Other stores each have store managers. Chengyuan itself is relatively complicated and has its own system.

Chengyuan, Bingshi, and Dongshao were included in the name of the company called [Jiayuan Group] founded by Ouyang Bian. Xu Fu's shares in Bingshi and Fat Chef's shares in Bingshi were replaced by shares in Jiayuan Group according to actual interests and became shareholders of Jiayuan Group.

Under Ouyang Bian's guidance, Yu Mou, Xu Fu, Fat Chef and Lu Caiwei worked together to make a major structural adjustment during the first annual meeting of Jiayuan Group.
