Straight man of steel

Chapter 331 Exams Are Not Economically Important
"Boom."

With the ringing of the fifth bell, the largest and first entrance examination since the establishment of Taixue officially began.

Every invigilator who was in charge of patrolling the field took out a bamboo basket, which seemed a bit awkward in this kind of place.

Moreover, these are bamboo fish baskets used by fishermen to hold fish, with a small mouth and a big belly.

Inside are all bamboo slips, on which are all the questions given by the doctor of the Five Classics for this entrance examination.

The questions are very complicated and the number is huge, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Yuan is not afraid of the questions being leaked out. If he can really memorize all the answers, he will be able to enter the Taixue Academy with this brain capacity alone.

The invigilator quickly asked the candidates to select five questions each. There was no repeated question near one invigilator, so there was no such thing as plagiarism.

In less than a cup of tea, all the candidates were given the questions.

Such a small time gap is nothing, the exams of later generations are also passed from the first row to the last row.

Such a large-scale assessment is the first time in Dahan, and these candidates are all pioneers, so it is impossible to say that they are not nervous.

Of course, it is not ruled out that those who are full of self-confidence or have their own strength, and some people think that they have a strong background and can easily enter and study in institutions like Taixue. Maybe some people still think that they come to Taixue It is an honor to study at Taixue.

It is not surprising to have such a mentality for thousands of years. China has been civilized for 5000 years, and what human beings can evolve into in 5000 years. To put it bluntly, nothing has evolved.

Some people in later generations think that the ancients just did not evolve well. In fact, the ancients were only because of backwardness in knowledge and self-awareness.

Zhang Yuan was a 1.9-meter-tall man before he crossed over. Is it true that his genes are better than others? In fact, he just eats well and sleeps well.

After the thousands of soldiers of the Qimen Army implemented Zhang Yuan's strategy of eating Houthi at sea, all the strong ones were able to fight the Huns recklessly.

If people like Sima Qian and Yan Yi are really put into modern times when they were one or two years old, then they might also be talents.

Thinking about it, Zhang Yuan looked at Sima Qian with a strange look.

Sima Qian felt Zhang Yuan's gaze and trembled all over, wondering if Zhang Yuan regretted it and wanted to teach himself a lesson.

But soon Zhang Yuan looked away, and Sima Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Many examinees on the square were able to pick up a pen and start answering on the bamboo slips after they got the questions, but some of them frowned and couldn't write for a long time.

Time flies very fast when people are concentrating or distracted.

An hour passed quickly, and the bell rang again. Most of the candidates looked up at the sun above their heads, and the pressure increased even more.

Those candidates who have been unable to answer have also started to write and draw on the bamboo slips.

Handing in blank papers and writing a bunch of wrong answers are two different concepts.

A question of attitude can determine the examiners' first impression of the candidate.

Taixue's exams were changed to later generations, that is, liberal arts. At this time, there were no multiple-choice questions and no fill-in-the-blank questions.

In other words.

The answer is not unique!
There is a lot of room for manipulation here, and if it is a real fool, it will not come to this kind of place.

Zhang Yuan dare not say no to the possibility of handing in a blank paper, but if there is one, he will definitely let the other go, no matter what your f*cking background is.

Now Liu Che has no son, and if he had a son, he would not be sent to Taixue. Zhang Yuan has the confidence to say this.

What's more, it doesn't matter if you have a son. It's not that Zhang Yuan doesn't know the consequences of this prince. Of course, if it is possible, Zhang Yuan doesn't want to see such unjust cases happen again.

What Zhang Yuan had to do was to be loyal to Liu Che, not to his son. Smart people would do this, and those fools would directly throw themselves into the arms of the princes when the emperor was in full strength.

At noon, there was no disturbance in the square, and Zhang Yuan's patience was wiped out.

Taking Sima Qian and Yan Yi down from Tianlu Pavilion, they went straight back to the mansion to eat.

Of course, this is what Zhang Yuan did, and the other invigilators, including King Wuqiu Shouwang, didn't go to eat.

They regard the entrance examination as a sensational event, and skipping a meal will not affect their health.

Fortunately, the entrance exam is held in spring, which is cooler and not too hot.

Sunstroke for a long time will not happen, and Taixue did not prepare meals, but prepared a source of drinking water.

The sun began to slowly shift from the top of the head to the west, and after a while, the bell rang again.

The examinees speeded up their answers after hearing it, and once the bell rang again, the exam was considered over.

"Boom."

No one waited long for the bell announcing the end of the exam, and the time passed before they knew it.

More than 100 invigilators shouted together.

"The exam is over, all candidates stop answering, stand on the left side of the desk, and wait for the invigilator to collect the exam papers!"

Some people were unwilling to write more, and the palace guard borrowed by Zhang Yuan came in handy at this time, and there were not a few candidates who were erected by the palace guard.

There were also people who honestly put down the brushes in their hands, and stood respectfully by the side of the desk, waiting for the invigilator to collect the papers.

Basically, each invigilator held more than ten scrolls of bamboo slips in his arms, which was not light. All the bamboo slips were sent to the side hall on the left side of the square, waiting for the lecturers to go to approve the scrolls.

King Wuqiu Shou saw that all the bamboo slips had been sent away, so he stood up and walked to the high platform so that all the candidates could see him.

Kong Anguo and Lu Bushu also hurriedly followed up. This was a good opportunity to show their faces and let the candidates see themselves. Maybe in the future, they would be able to receive many students by virtue of their acquaintance.

"Students, the entrance examination held by Taixue is over today, and the students will have to wait another seven days in Du County.

After seven days, the list of those who failed the ranking will be posted in the four city gates. If your name is not on the list, then I would like to congratulate you for being able to enter the Taixue and become a student of the Taixue.

If your names are on the list, I would like to say sorry to those students who failed the list. It may not be that you are not good, but that too much learning is not suitable for you.

If you want to serve the big man, there are many other ways, such as joining the army and so on.

Everyone please come back now! "

After finishing speaking, King Wuqiu Shou turned his head and left, Kong Anguo and Lu Bushu didn't stop there too.

In the imperial examination, only those who pass the exam can enter the rankings, and the students who fail the rankings can save face as much as possible, but that is also because there are too many people who fail the rankings, and too few people who can be promoted or even become Jinshi.

Of the more than 4000 Taixue candidates, at most one-tenth of them will be eliminated. No matter how useless they are, only two-tenths of them will survive.

That is to record the list of those students who have passed the exam, isn't it just adding workload.

More than 3000 names or even more than 4000 names are a waste of paper.

Zhang Yuan is not afraid if he meets someone with the same name. He also plans to add his hometown to each candidate. If the same hometown still has the same name, he can come to Taixue directly to inquire.

Zhang Yuan is still willing to give this convenience to these people.

During the seven-day waiting period, during this period of time, he could directly or indirectly contribute a little bit of his strength to the prosperity of Du County.

If those examinees and the officials of Taixue knew that Zhang Yuan's biggest purpose was not to recruit students, but to make Du County more prosperous, they didn't know what they would think in their hearts.

Zhang Yuan sometimes often wonders, does the Han Dynasty need him in its military?
It is actually enough to have Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

He has already contributed the most to agriculture. No matter where you are, if you really want to grow potatoes, you can grow them on any soil, and survival is not a problem.

He is currently engaged in educating him. Although he does not put all his efforts into it, he also devotes a large part of his energy to it.

As for the economy
To say something embarrassing and even to provoke people to scold, Zhang Yuan feels that the big man at this time has no such thing as economics.

The currency is still in chaos, so what kind of economy are you talking about?

This self-sufficient economy is what Zhang Yuan wants to really change.

There is still too little commercial exchange, and the status is unequal.

The objects that ordinary people can exchange are wealthy landlords with large grain fields.

As a result, many farmers were heavily indebted and forced to become long-term laborers or tenants of the landlord class.

Later, in order to prevent businessmen from continuing to grow bigger, Liu Che had no money to put it bluntly. He was jealous when he saw businessmen making money, so he directly implemented the state monopoly policy, which is often called the "salt and iron order".

Is this good for economic development? To put it bluntly, there is no benefit at all.

Sang Hongyang is just an official who makes money for the emperor, so it really doesn't matter.

What Zhang Yuan wanted was to take Du County as a pilot, and then see if he could revitalize the economy of a region first, make it a commodity economy, and then slowly promote it to other cities.

Let Liu Che discover that after revitalizing the economy, resources will start to circulate, and the country can receive more taxes, so that the predicament caused by long-term wars in the future may naturally disappear.

Compared to education, this may be most important in the short term.

So when everyone was paying attention to the effect of the entrance examination and the results of the candidates, Zhang Yuan, along with Yan Yi and Sima Qian, had been observing in various places in Du County during the seven days.

Observe whether the common people will feel the sudden change caused by the increase of the foreign population, how many people will choose the place where the students don't need to live after the results come out, and will they continue to stick to it? .

This kind of thing must be done by Zhang Yuan himself now. If you go to the officials of Taixue to tell the officials of Taixue about things like market assessment and investigation, they may not understand them. Moreover, the answer sheets of more than 4000 candidates make Taixue have nothing redundant. Labor is gone.
