Chapter 32 Talent is rare
The question of how to enrich the country and strengthen the army is also an old question. The Great Wei tests the meaning of the classics, mainly depends on the students' mastery of the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and is about memorizing and exercising them in the framework.
The strategy question is nothing more than a strategy to enrich the country and strengthen the army. The left prime minister Han Zhong was a strategy to discuss the "three redundant" strategies when he asked. Once the strategy was released, the whole world was very sensible. People said that he had never met a genius for a century. Later, Han Zhong stayed in the capital and started as the seventh-rank attendant censor. Later, he became the Hanlin editor, then a doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, a Hanlin scholar, then a minister of the Ministry of War, and was transferred to the Minister of Rites and the Chief Political Affairs Officer. Later, he was the Minister of the Secretariat of the Secretariat, and was the Minister of the Left Prime Minister.
A strategy theory is also the lifelong dream of many scholars, so in addition to working on small topics, the most common articles are various strategy theory.
However, if you do too much policy and arguments, it is still a form of form, and most of you think about the government affairs, feel the direction of the court, and then take advantage of the issue.
Because most Confucian scholars answered the questions like this during the exam, it is almost impossible to find the way to govern the country through policy discussions.
As for the law, there are really not many people who can answer the law. Unless they are always interested in being an official and often read the law, there are probably not many people who know the law and order and can simulate cases to make decisions.
Mathematics was considered a serious knowledge in the Great Wei Dynasty. It was due to Taizu's inclusion of Ming Case in the imperial examination. Mathematics also had Jinshi, and most of them were in the Transport Office, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Works, and local prefectures and counties, including Caoshou, Army of the Ministry of Revenue, Office of the Ministry of Works, and other local prefectures and counties, including the account officers, warehousing officials, etc.
This is also the need for actual talents, so many people learn arithmetic. Even if they fail to pass the imperial examination, the number of talents who need a master's arithmetic skills is extremely large. They can at least make a living. They will not be like Confucian scholars in the classics, and they will have to spend their whole life without being able to pass the imperial examination.
Xu Zi first sat in the screen in Beitang. After someone finished writing the paper, Li Yi and others showed it to him.
The calculation paper actually includes the method of accounting. Now it mainly uses the method of accounting. In terms of calculation, it mainly comes from the books "Initiation of Calculation", "The Circle Sea Mirror" and "Yigu Shenduan".
Judging from Xu Zixian's mathematical level, reading these books and understanding them is not difficult. The enlightenment of mathematics in Dawei is an introductory knowledge. The Circular Sea Mirror is mainly geometric, while the deep section of Yigu is mainly based on equations.
In terms of the development of mathematics, and from the overseas mathematical knowledge brought by Semu merchants, the development of mathematics in Dawei was quite good, mainly because of the development of maritime trade and industry and commerce, which required a large number of mathematics talents.
When counting the study paper, Xu Zi first reads a few pictures and handed them over to Kong He. Whether it is qualified will be judged by Kong He.
The papers for strategy are mostly empty. Xu Zi first focuses on whether the logic is self-consistent. If he talks nonsense and only cares about the gorgeousness of the article and has no logical ability, then no matter how well the article is written, it is useless.
After reading more than ten papers, he felt that he was not good at it... This is no wonder. You should know that most Confucian scholars who are interested in making progress will continue to take the exam, taking the purely correct path, and recommending the Hou Mansion. When he mentions his resume in the future, people will feel that he has taken a shortcut. A truly talented person and a student who is confident in himself will not come to the Hou Mansion to take the exam.
Xu Zixian didn't expect to get such a clever talent by using such means, but he hoped that talents would be available in the near future, but the number of views was getting more and more, which probably disappointed him.
Only one paper signed by Chen Daojian surprised Xu Zixian. The narrative was organized and the handwriting was gorgeous. It was not just a magnificent intention, but a casual use, which showed that the foundation laid by practicing calligraphy was extremely solid. Such people are generally extremely smart and self-disciplined.
There are many smart scholars and many self-disciplined people, but very few are both smart and self-disciplined people.
Chen Daojian's answers are quite brilliant in strategy, mathematics, and laws, and his level is not inferior to that of old scholars.
Chen Daojian's policy was not long, and he wrote about funding refugees. He did not directly propose to help refugees return home. Instead, he said that the government should use tens of thousands of refugees from the Minjiang River, including Fuzhou, Jianzhou, Xinghua Army, and Shaowu Army. He used work instead of relief, and could not be left alone, and gradually digested and utilized immigrants...
Although I still feel a little immature, Xu Zixian still feels a little surprised. After all, it is interesting to talk about things, not to talk about them in general.
As for arithmetic and law, Chen Daojian also did a very good job.
Xu Zi first handed Li Yi three copies of the papers and said with a smile: "There are talented people this time."
"No, not bad." Li Yi also praised her greatly and said with a smile: "Chen Daojian, at the age of sixteen, his parents have died from his body. I guess the family is in poor condition and he has to come out for the exam. Congratulations to the prince for getting a real talent."
Xu Zixian nodded with a smile. He thought about Chen Daojian in his mind, but he didn't seem to have a deep impression. According to age and family background, this person may not be able to pass the Jinshi exam for many years, and he has not even passed the Jinshi exam.
There are many talented people in the world, and their life situations are different. In Xu Zixian's previous life, Chen Daojian should have been depressed and unsuccessful throughout his life, or he only made his mark after Xu Zixian's death.
"Jiyi's words can be done for this person." Xu Zixian pondered: "But first ask him to follow Kong Xuanping and do some practical things, and look at his personality. He is sixteen years old, too young."
Everyone next to him smiled, and Kong He also shook his head and smiled. Xu Zixian often asked people to ignore his age, and sometimes it reminded people that the prince in front of him was less than 20 years old, so he was too young.
Kong He has recently investigated the natural villages formed near various Guanzhuangs to see how many hidden households there are. This thing is done very secretly and requires a lot of people, but it should not be too many. It requires ability, confidentiality, and ethics. This matter is just the touchstone for new people. What is suitable for doing can be seen from this matter.
After a while, the list was settled. Xu Zi went out to meet everyone in person, leaving a total of seven people, all of whom were given the name of serving in the Marquis' Office. What specific positions can be done and what positions can be given will be discussed after the inspection.
Xu Zixian said that this is the probation period, and one stone of grain and one stone of money per month will be given. After the probation period, three coins will be given per month, and additional benefits such as firewood and firewood will be given. The food is still one stone, which is the same as the conditions promised before.
The probation period is three months, which is a bit surprised by everyone in front of you, and of course a little dissatisfied.
But when I think about it, it seems to make sense. It is the same as being a servant in the yamen. Those who are not in line with the yamen will definitely be cleaned up and withdrawn. However, as long as the yamen enters, they will receive the same salary as others. However, the rules of the houfu cannot be said to be unreasonable...
Everyone's mind was messy, and they bowed to Xu Zi in a mess before leaving.
Xu Zixian called Chen Daojian and said with a smile: "Daojian, depending on the behavior, your family is in a difficult situation. At this time, I can't help you first. I will go to your house later on, Gong Li will come to your house..."
"No need, prince." Chen Daojian was a little surprised, but he said firmly: "I am indeed in a humble family, but I have not yet reached the point where I can't make a fuss. I am better wait for the Marquis' Mansion to pay my salary."
"Okay," Xu Zixian was a little surprised, but more happy. Whether a person has character and persistence in morality can be seen by some trivial matters and direct reactions.
This time, if you can get one person in front of you, your efforts will not be in vain.
The servant Xu Ming and a few servants began to clean up the house and put the Chinese-style papers in their papers. The rest of the papers in their papers were not kept, and they would not throw them away even if they were put together. They could practice calligraphy by turning over one side and the other side.
The ancients respected and cherished paper and did not mean to make fun of it. Paper was quite expensive these days. Ordinary children did not know how to use paper when practicing calligraphy, but only used willow branches to write back and forth in the sand table.
"Fu Qian?" Xu Ziyi saw the fallen scroll in Xu Ming's hand at first sight and said, "Take it over and show it to me."
Li Yi said from the side: "It's a pity that Fu Qian is very smart and rarely known as a child prodigy. However, his knowledge is too complicated. Whether it's meticulous in mathematics or general inquiry, he fails the qualifications. One of the three subjects is ordinary and one of them is unqualified, so he was still dismissed."
"Is it Fu Qian from Shuikou Town?"
“It depends on the behavior…”
"Mr. Li doesn't know that this person is a talent..." Xu Zixian was sitting cross-legged on the wooden board and took off his boots. At this time, he quickly turned on his boots. He didn't even have time to pull them up, so he quickly ran out of Beitang. While running, he asked Menzi Lao Lin to lead the horse.
Li Yi and others were stunned. Since Xu Zi cheered up first, they have rarely seen the prince lose his composure. What they see today is simply incredible.
They naturally didn't know that Fu Qian failed many exams and did nothing after he was over 31 years old. Later, he studied hard and eventually became a famous Chinese master.
The most famous miscellaneous studies in the Great Wei Dynasty is his work. It is unique in many matters such as shipbuilding, machines, carriages, agriculture, bricks and tiles, ceramics, sulfur, candles, paper, weapons, salt making, coal mining, mining, iron smelting, etc., and technology has made a great leap wherever it goes. He was already the most famous miscellaneous studies master in the 19th year of Chongde. Before the fall of the Great Wei Dynasty, he was recruited as the Ministry of Works by the Fujian Grand Governor's Office... At that time, the capital fell, and the Fujian Grand Governor's Office supported King Zhao as the supervisor. King Zhao appointed Fu Qian as the official of the state. But Fu Qian refused to give in. Later, he led his family to take a boat to sea. It was said that he was going to Lin Fangguo among the islands of the East. Later, he disappeared. Xu Zixian did not know the final result of this miscellaneous studies.
Now Fu Qian should be almost at the time of accumulating strength. His classics and laws were originally average, but later he simply gave up and worked hard to strengthen miscellaneous studies such as mathematics. Finally, in less than ten years, he became a well-known miscellaneous studies master in China.
