Three Kingdoms: Damn Liu Daer, dare to steal my horse!

It looks like an extremely simple audition mechanism.

Yang Xiu glanced at the bamboo slip in his hand, nodded thoughtfully and said:

"You said that the foundation of stability in the world is the people, and the foundation of the stability of the people is food."

"Food is the most important thing for the people. As long as there is enough food, there will be peace and stability for the country?"

The little boy nodded and said:

"Correct!"

Yang Xiu stroked his chin and said:

"The foundation of the stability of the world is the people, and there is some truth in this statement."

"It is true that food is the foundation of people's stability."

"However, if the world is stable, how can food come first?"

"Could it be that the world will be stable after eating enough?"

As soon as Yang Xiu said this, the little boy in front of him seemed a little embarrassed.

The gentry on the side couldn't help laughing.

"Civilians are civilians, they really are short-sighted!"

"To stabilize the country and stabilize the country, how can the needs be summed up in mere food?"

"Food is just the foundation. If it's just enough to eat, why would anyone want to rebel when the world is peaceful?"

"Could it be that scholars from poor families are so short-sighted? It's ridiculous!"

"If someone in my clan says this, I will definitely drive him out of the clan!"

"You brat, go home and study for two more years!"

……

Originally, the little boy seemed to want to explain, but when he heard the sarcasm from these people, his face immediately turned red.

Yang Xiu waved his hand, signaling the nobles behind to be quiet.

If it was just now, Yang Xiu would definitely not stop him, the little boy would leave if he knew he would not be on stage.

But now Cao Jie is here!

If Cao Jie told the prime minister about such sarcasm, things would be difficult.

When everyone stopped talking, Yang Xiu stood with his hands behind his back and asked in a deep voice:

"What's your name?"

"Little... small... kid, Deng... Ai... Ai..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Deng Ai's complexion turned even redder.

Yang Xiu couldn't help laughing and said:

"Why are you still a stutterer?"

"Ridiculous! Do you think anyone can come to this recruiting conference?"

"If that's the case, how do you become an official?"

Little Deng Ai still wanted to speak, but he couldn't utter a single word. He could only stand there, his fists clenched and trembling.

However, Bai Chuan caught this scene in his eyes.

Deng Ai? !

Hearing this name, Bai Chuan and everyone else reacted completely differently!

Deng Ai, Deng Shizai!

This is the mainstay of the Wei generals in the late Three Kingdoms period!

It was also he who smuggled into Yinping and completely wiped out the country of Shu Han!

Unexpectedly, I actually met such a talent here!

At first Bai Chuan planned not to speak, but now that Yang Xiu humiliated him so openly, Bai Chuan couldn't sit still.

"Master Yang's words are wrong, right?"

Just when everyone was laughing at Deng Ai, Bai Chuan slowly got up and said.

The sound was not loud, but it made everyone fall silent.

Bai Chuan, did you actually speak? !

Yang Xiu couldn't help being slightly taken aback:

"Oh? What's your opinion, Master Military Advisor?"

"Could it be that the military counselor thinks that a boy who is only in his teens and has not yet passed the weak crown years, and has a stuttering problem, can enter the court as an official?"

Yang Xiu also didn't understand in every possible way.

Since Bai Chuan is here, he will definitely find an opportunity to ask for trouble for himself.

But Yang Xiu never thought that it would be for a little boy?

Isn't this humiliating?

Chapter 139 Someone is talking nonsense here!

If he was a good poor scholar, if Bai Chuan stood up, Yang Xiu might have to give in.

However, this brat named Deng Ai in front of him is clearly here to make trouble.

I don't know where I copied the first half of what I said, and the second half doesn't make sense.

When asked, he still stuttered.

People who laugh at him are not only people from the noble family, but also some humble scholars.

Bai Chuan made a move at this time, isn't this asking for trouble?

Bai Chuan walked up to the stage slowly, and said in a deep voice:

"Master Yang, I might as well ask you a question."

"What is the purpose of this recruiting conference?"

Yang Xiu was a little dazed when asked.

Before he could speak, Bai Chuan took the lead and said:

"Regardless of moral character, regardless of origin, only talent should be promoted, right or wrong?"

Yang Xiu nodded immediately:

"That's true, but..."

Bai Chuan didn't give him a chance to speak, and interrupted:

"Then Master Yang, this is only the intention, doesn't it include various factors such as regardless of age?"

"Since that's the case, why do you have to laugh at the young man in front of you based on his age?"

"Master Yang, and the people here, do you think the Prime Minister's words are also funny?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiu and the gentry who had just laughed at Deng Ai were dumbfounded.

Why was he suddenly charged with such a big crime?

"Master Military Advisor really knows how to joke, how can I have such thoughts?"

"It's just that what he wrote in this article is really contradictory."

"Food is indeed the foundation, but it is not the whole story."

"Isn't he too short-sighted to write like this?"

Yang Xiu knew he couldn't lose, so he hurriedly said:

"Or, the military division also thinks so?"

Bai Chuan sneered, and said:

"It really confuses the public."

"In this article, when did it say that we can only rely on food to stabilize the country?"

"It's just saying that food is the foundation, the foundation."

"The first priority now is to lay a solid foundation so that the common people can have enough to eat, and there will be no more starvation everywhere."

"How did Master Yang say that this is all about Anbang Dingguo?"

"Master Yang, I don't know if I have misunderstood it, or is Master Yang trying to confuse the public and deliberately make things difficult?"

Now that he has spoken, Bai Chuan has no intention of pretending.

At worst, be tough.

It's just Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu's expression was rather ugly.

He never expected that Bai Chuan would be so pressing every step of the way, that he would even hold back his words.

Moreover, as soon as this remark came out, the humble scholars below suddenly shouted.

The voices that made fun of Deng Ai just now had disappeared, and they were all denouncing Yang Xiu.

"That's right, Mr. Yang, there were a few poor scholars just now, and the articles were all well written, but why didn't they pass?"

"However, there is a son of the gentry, who wrote mediocrely, without any big insights, just stating the facts, how did it pass?"

"Could it be that Director Yang is trying to make things difficult for the humble scholars?"

……

As soon as the voice came out, it was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and all the humble scholars immediately became angry.

Just now they were secretly unhappy because of this matter, but they were afraid to speak out due to authority.

Now that Bai Chuan has stepped forward, they have all spoken out their hearts.

Yang Xiu still understands the truth that public anger cannot be appeased.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiu couldn't help but turn dark and said:

"Thank you, Master Military Advisor, for your teaching. I will definitely pay attention to my words and deeds."

At this time, you can only admit cowardice first.

Of course, the main reason is not these humble scholars.

If there were only them, Yang Xiu would definitely not be so afraid.

But if Bai Chuan continued to argue like this, he might be labeled as something.

In just two sentences, he described himself as disrespectful to the prime minister.

Yang Xiu really has never seen such a joke.

But he still said that he couldn't refute it.

This made Yang Xiu suddenly angry, but he was helpless.

"Master Yang, I wonder if you are helping the prime minister recruit talents, or are you helping the gentry find a way to become an official?"

Bai Chuan said abruptly.

Yang Xiu's face suddenly became extremely ugly:

"Master Military Advisor, don't talk nonsense."

"Of course I'm helping the prime minister to recruit talents! How can you say something like that?"

Bai Chuan sneered and said:

"Oh? If that's the case, why are there only a handful of humble scholars who have passed, while [-]% of the nobles have passed?"
