I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 696, knowing the current affairs
The speed of this test is very fast. After the Chinese test, the candidates have a good rest, and then the math test starts immediately. Unlike the handy Chinese test, many people in the math test are wailing. I understand, especially Xu Wei's mathematics quoted a lot of symbols and Arabic numerals from later generations.

In Xu Wei's view, these are very common things, but they have had a great impact on these candidates, because they are used to reading Chinese characters. Although they have learned these symbols by surprise here, there are still a large number of people in the exam. I can't remember what this symbol means!If you don't even understand the meaning of the symbols, it is naturally impossible to understand and solve the problems.

Many people have protested with Xu Wei about these symbols, but firstly, these symbols are really easy to use, and the traditional calculation method of Dahan is much more advanced, and secondly, Xu Wei never wants to learn mathematical symbols again, he is the boss in this world , Of course, do it according to how comfortable you are and how you are used to it.

After the exam in the morning, these scholars came to eat in the cafeteria specially prepared for them by Dagan. Not too tasty, but not too bad either!

And at this time, candidates from various familiar departments gathered together!
Zhuge Liang got together with the Jingzhou scholars who came together!However, Zhuge Liang also brought his new younger brother Pu Yuan with him, and Pang Tong and the others also knew Pu Yuan, and they often looked for Kong Ming's blacksmith during this time.

On the contrary, Pang Tong looked at Huang Yueying with admiration and said, "Sister-in-law is really a hero among women, and she actually took the exam with Kong Ming!"

Among them, Huang Yueying was the only woman who took the exam. First of all, only Huang Yueying had such a level of talent and learning, but the rest of them didn't want their wives and daughters to show their faces.Compared with other places, Jingzhou, which has just been recovered, is still relatively conservative.

Huang Yueying said: "This is not a rare thing, there are quite a few women among the candidates!"

After finishing speaking, they pointed to a group of women gathered at the dining table not far away, and after casual observation, they found that there were not too many female candidates in this examination room, about a few thousand, and most of them were locals from Jidu. take a chance,

Xu Shu could only sigh: "The folk customs of Dagan are really enlightened. Although it is not unique to this dynasty that women can become officials, but this dynasty is the only one with such a scale in all dynasties!"

There is one person who became the governor, and dozens of people who became the county governor and county magistrate. Such a large scale is unprecedented.

At this time, Pu Yuan said brilliantly: "The ruling party said that women can hold up half the sky, and it is very common for women to come out to do things when I work hard. There are even many people whose income is higher than their husbands. Only with an independent source of income can one have an independent personality, and women don't need to depend on anyone!"

"Being an official depends on wisdom rather than strength. Women are not much worse than men when they are officials. They don't have enough official positions in other dynasties. How can they give them to women?"

Such rebellious words sound extremely harsh to Pang Tong and the others, but they also know that this is the fact that the textile industry has always been the most profitable industry in Dagan, and women dominate this industry, and Cai Qiao is a famous woman all over the world. rich woman.

Xu Juan was no worse than a man when she became the governor of Youzhou. If they really wanted to say that women are inferior to men, they could only humiliate themselves.

Seeing the silence in the atmosphere, Zhuge Liang immediately changed the subject and asked, "How are you doing in the two exams this morning?"

Pu Yuan said dejectedly: "Mathematics should be regarded as extraordinary performance, and most of the problems can be done!"

Unlike the big Han students, Pu Yuan and his group learned these symbols since they were young. In addition to the sudden make-up lessons during this time, they are well mastered in mathematics.

"But the Chinese performance is miserable. I can't do many questions at all. I only wrote 500 words in the composition. I really can't write it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the Chinese."

Pang Tong laughed and said, "I can't guarantee mathematics, but I should be able to score above 90 in Chinese, especially the composition questions. I wrote them heartily, and vented all the anger in my heart."

Xu Shu's expression changed drastically, "Could it be that you scolded Eldest Sister for being in power?"

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "I'm not a fool. How could I do such a taboo thing? Of course, I scolded the Central Plains' gatekeeper settings according to the requirements of the higher authorities."

Zhuge Liang smiled wryly: "Then you scolded yourself too!"

Pang Tong said: "The turmoil in the world is all caused by those powerful families in the Central Plains. What does it have to do with us Jingzhou people? When the whole world is in turmoil, we Jingzhou is the most stable, but we lose the world, but we Jingzhou people have to take the blame , now I'll scold them for what's wrong!"

Pang Tong's words were actually agreed by many scholars in Jingzhou.In the turbulent era of the Han Dynasty, the entire north of the Yangtze River was raging with war, but the area south of the Yangtze River was like a paradise, and there was no war.

This made them feel that they were extremely innocent. It was obvious that the loss of the world was caused by the clans of the Central Plains, but they were asked to bear the responsibility. Their families were ruined and they were unable to become officials. If they dare not vent their anger on Dagan, they can only vent it on the nobles in the Central Plains.

Only after Xu Wei wrote an article on the crusade against the elite clans and assigned the responsibility for the turmoil in the world to the elite clans, the reputation of the elite clans in the Central Plains has been completely stink. They have occupied the power of the court and enjoyed the best treatment. Bearing the biggest scapegoat, clans from other states all said that they were implicated by clans from the Central Plains.

After Pang Tong spoke, many scholars in Jingzhou also expressed that they were strongly condemning the elites in the Central Plains.

Zhuge Liang could only smile wryly for a while. Although the composition written in this way did not deviate from the topic, it seemed that they had scolded themselves too.

Many candidates spent the whole noon with apprehension, had a simple lunch in the examination room, and then ushered in the afternoon exam.

After the physics exam is over, this exam is officially declared over, and the next exams will wait for 10 days to know their exam results!
And these examination papers were pulled into the largest lobby in Jidu, where 500 marking teachers had prepared in advance, and they would complete the marking of nearly 10 examination papers.Fortunately, except for a few questions such as Chinese, most of the questions have standard answers. You only need to compare them to know whether you are right or wrong!
And the way Xu Wei asked everyone to grade the papers is also a streamlined homework method. Each teacher only corrects the questions of one major project, which can increase the overall speed of marking!

And Xu Wei was inspecting and supervising the side, and he looked at the test paper and said helplessly: "The Chinese level of my Dagan candidates is still not as good as that of Dahan's candidates, and their questions are not wrong, unlike our Dagan candidates, who even pinyin It could all be wrong!"

Then he picked up a messy paper with pinyin mistakes and said: "Like this candidate named Pu Yuan, he can't be a candidate who just came to my job, right? Why are there so many pinyin mistakes!"

It is very simple to distinguish whether the exam is originally a scholar of the Han Dynasty or a student of the Dagan. Even the scholars of the Dahan write their names and characters together, but under the leadership of Xu Wei in Dagan, everyone is used to taking a double-character name. , do not take the table word!
Moreover, the compositions of Dagan candidates are generally vernacular, and this is something that Dagan has been promoting. Even if the candidates of Dahan know this, it is difficult for them to change their writing style after more than ten years of study experience, so their composition Most of them are mainly in classical Chinese, so as long as you look at the papers, you can tell that they are candidates trained there.

On the contrary, Xiangkai laughed and said: "You are too greedy in power. The scholars of the great Han have read Confucian classics since they were young. If even the language is surpassed by my large number of examinees, then they will really become useless. You must know that this exam is not good. It brings together the elites of the big Han clan, but the real elites of my Dagan have been recruited by the major government-run factories of Dagan, and there are not many people who come to take the mechanical university exam!"

Then Xiang Kai took out a math paper and said: "You know that the ruling party has always paid attention to mathematics and physics. As for Chinese, it has always been believed that as long as people can understand things, it is enough. It is a waste of life to focus on words! "

Xu Wei nodded and said: "Confucianism has entered such a dead end. Everything has to be found in the books of Confucius and his disciples hundreds of years ago. Confucius was born hundreds of years ago. He will know that there are big men. If we work hard, we know that new things like artillery and trains will appear in the world!

Conservation and complacency are the reasons for the gradual decline of Confucianism and the Han Dynasty.Mathematics and physics are tools for us to explore the world. The more prosperous these two tools are, the more clearly we can see the truth of the world!To be honest, mathematics and physics are a hundred times more important than Confucianism in my heart! "

But Xu Wei's words surprised Xiang Kai. The ruling party disdains Confucianism, and looks at mathematics and physics like this. It may be difficult for him to want Taoism to flourish!
At this time, Xu Wei took out another test paper and turned to the content of the Chinese composition. It was a classical Chinese composition written by a big Han candidate. Refugees make it difficult for the world to settle down.

Apparently the examinee had sensed the meaning of Xu Wei's question, Xu Wei smiled and said: "It seems that these children of the aristocratic family are still very knowledgeable about current affairs, and know how to follow my pace!"

Then Xu Wei read several articles like this, most of which were condemning the noble families of the big Han, only a few scholars did not repent, thinking that the chaos in the world was caused by Emperor Heng Ling's favor on the eunuchs!

And for those who write in this way, the hard-working marking teachers are also unambiguous, and directly score zero, and the questions are all gone, and there is no need to read at all!

Xiang Kai also read a few exam papers, and lamented in his heart that these high-ranking children really can afford to let them go, but he still worried: "The old man is only worried that they will not accept what they say!"

Xu Weidao: "That's why I forbid the nobles of the big Han to enter the officialdom of Dagan, so that they can hardly influence my officials in Dagan. After 20 years have passed, and the next generation living in Dagan grows up, such a ban will naturally be lifted. And if they become engineers and imperial examiners, there is no need to worry that they will affect the government of Dagan, and at the same time, they can just display their wisdom."

Another point that Xu Wei didn’t say clearly is that these people are the elites of an era, and they must have outstanding abilities. Their abilities cannot be used in military and politics, but can be used in science, even if the conversion rate is only one-tenth , It is also a good thing for Daqian.

After speaking, Xu Wei continued to look at the compositions of these candidates with great interest, and when he saw the bloody composition that scolded the elites of the Central Plains, he said happily: "This composition is a masterpiece, and I must give it a perfect score! "

Then he took a look at the author of this composition, and found that he was actually a historical celebrity, Pang Tong!

Then he suddenly realized: "No wonder this article is written so heartily!"

In this article, all kinds of hard-to-see things about the nobles and nobles, such as raising their own self-esteem, hypocritically praising their own children, suppressing poor families, plundering the people's land, and arresting the surrounding barbarians as slaves are all revealed. If it weren't for someone from a powerful family, it would be impossible to know this!This means that the number of words restricted in the composition is too small, otherwise Pang Tong might really write a masterpiece.

It was a pity for Xu Wei. If he knew that there would be such a masterpiece, he gave Pang Tong an extra paper to continue writing.

After Xu Wei said so, the marking teacher naturally scored a score of 60 on it!This is also the first full-score composition to appear in the examination room.

Then Xu Wei seemed to have found some fun. He only read the composition of the Chinese test paper to see how these people criticized the elites!But it's a pity that it's hard not to see articles as hearty as Pang Tong's just now, and there are even very few that suit him. As Xiang Kai said, most of the scholars are not convinced by mouth. It's the same as flattering, or put the blame on the powerful clans of the Central Plains who occupy the imperial court.

After reading too many articles like this, Xu Wei also felt bored. Now his only pleasure is that he can find many famous historical figures in this test paper, such as Sima Yi, Lu Xun, Chen Qun and other famous courtiers. Of course, such people are a minority after all. , and Xu Wei didn’t know many celebrities from the Three Kingdoms, and most of them were beaten away by him, so such test papers were mixed in the more than 3 test papers, and there were not many celebrities he really found. He soon got bored and handed over to Marking teacher.

Then he left here to wait for the most general answer. At this time, Xiang Kai chased up and asked: "I also want to select a group of students from this group of students to govern the Teachers College. How many people do you think are appropriate to keep?"

Xu Wei thought for a while and said, "Let's keep 3000 people too. After simple training, they will stay in Jidu to become elementary school teachers. It just so happens that Jidu will expand 100 elementary schools next year."

The popularization of compulsory education Xu Wei planned to start from Jidu, and only Jidu could afford such a big expense.
