Chapter 413 Contingency is to fool people

"My lord, I don't know. When Dong Zhongshu came to the 'Three Strategies of Heaven and Man', he put forward the suggestion of 'May Your Majesty promote the Taixue, set up enlightened teachers, so as to support the people of the world'?" The old fox blinked brightly, and slowly began to look back at the ancient times. recall today.

Ma Chao was so angry that he wanted to pull Jia Xu's beard, but now that his IQ was obviously higher than his, he still begged him, so he could only pretend to be a grandson and replied: "I know about this, but what does it have to do with the imperial examination? "

"Don't worry, don't worry... just listen to the humble official and take your time." Jia Xu didn't see that Ma Chao was on the verge of breaking out at all. Perhaps, after seeing it, he would be so slow to deal with it?
"Emperor Wu established Taixue in Chang'an in the sixth year of Jianyuan according to Dong Zhongshu's wishes. At first, there were only five classics doctors in Taixue, and [-] doctoral students. From Emperor Wu to Xinmang, the number of subjects and the number of Taixue gradually increased. Courses have been set up to explain "Book of Changes", "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Gongyang Zhuan", "Guliang Biography", "Zuo Zhuan", "Zhou Guan", "Erya" and so on..."

Having said that, Ma Chao already has some signs of breaking out.But Jia Xu seemed to be still interested. After twirling his goatee, he glanced at Ma Chao and continued: "In the fifth year of Jianwu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu built the Taixue outside the Kaiyang Gate in the southeast of Luoyang City. Later in the Han Dynasty Emperor Liuzhuang of the Ming Dynasty also went to Taixue to give a salute and give lectures. In the first year of Yongjian Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, Taixue was rebuilt and expanded. It took one year and 11 apprentices were employed to build 2000 rooms and 240, 850 rooms. The recruited students were called Tai students. Later, the number of Tai students reached 3.”

"Enough!" At this moment, Ma Chao couldn't tell that Jia Xu was just showing off in front of him and deliberately provoking him.Immediately, he grabbed Jia Xu's goatee and said, "Old fox, hurry up and tell me about the relationship between this Taixue and the imperial examination, otherwise, I will make it hard to keep your beard!"

"My lord..." Jia Xu clutched his chin and moaned, "Your subordinate is about to say the next sentence!"

Seeing that Jia Xu was still so obsessed, Ma Chao immediately took another step forward. Jia Xu was so frightened that he quickly backed away again and again, and reluctantly said: "Emperor Wu came to Emperor Shun, a student of the Suike doctor, the selected person can fill the vacancy!"

"Sui Ke? Make up for an official?" Ma Chao is not a fool. After Jia Xu said a word, he understood what the old fox meant: the Han Dynasty had a tradition of promoting students to become officials since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.At present, there is a shortage of officials in the Ma family, so it is natural to use the guise of "Emperor Wu's ancient system" to conduct imperial examinations!
"Since my lord entered Fufeng, he started to build a school. In two years, the initial effect has already been achieved. Although there are still shortcomings in other counties, Fufeng is full of students. The people know that the school in Fufeng allows children to go to school for free, so naturally. Sending the children to school one after another..." Jia Xu became honest now, and while Ma Chao was still thinking, he hurriedly said what he meant, so that Ma Chao would not abuse him again for no reason.

"But that's just to teach children to be sensible and polite..." Ma Chao couldn't help but blush when he said this: because in this school, in addition to teaching children to read and write, they also instilled some brainwashing ideas that "Ma Chao is the destiny". From the next generation, fundamentally build a Ma family world like an iron bucket...

"But how do outsiders know this?" Jia Xu jumped up immediately, and said in a tone of hatred for iron and steel: "The way to make changes is to confuse. As long as the lord makes a list and informs the place in Yongzhou, saying that the officials of the Ma family are now small There is a shortage of officials, and if you want to follow the ancient system of year-old classes to select talents, then this is also the responsibility of the procuratorate. At that time, you only need to declare that all the educated people are students of the Ma family. Then these people will not let the lord be promoted by the imperial examination when they arrive in Fufeng ?”

"That's right..." Ma Chao clapped his palms and laughed, looking at Jia Xu's old face, he also felt very kind: Those scholars are not fools, especially those who travel thousands of miles, they are so smart that they smoke.As long as the notice states that anyone can enter Fufeng to participate in the selection, then they still run as fast as rabbits?At that time, I will ask my subordinates to take out the exam questionnaire and come to a written interview. Isn't that the imperial examination?
Moreover, in this way, no one can grasp their handle.After all, as the shepherd of Yongzhou, he is also responsible for recommending good talents for the imperial court. This action not only follows the ancient system, but also selects talents, which really kills two birds with one stone.

Of course, in this way, it is impossible to rely on the influence of the imperial examination to conquer the hearts of the common people in the world in one fell swoop.However, Ma Chao also knew that with his prestige at present, being able to make wind and rain on this one-third-acre land in Yongzhou was considered invincible.

"Wen He is really scheming, and this is what someone thinks..." Ma Chao didn't feel embarrassed at all, and took the credit for himself with a single mouth.

But at this time, Jia Xu gradually sank into it again, frowned and asked after contemplating, "I just don't know, how should the test questions be set?"

Hearing Jia Xu's question, Ma Chao couldn't help thinking: This question is indeed not a small one, but rather, very, very important.

The so-called learning of the scholars in the Eastern Han Dynasty was mainly "classic studies", which were Confucian classics and the popular theory of prophecy at that time, and the study of prophecy was actually a kind of superstitious thing, which used the changes of celestial phenomena to predict the fate of the world. matter.

The role models admired by the scholars at this time were also those who were as quick-witted as Kong Rong, as clear and outstanding as Li Ying, as profuse in poetry as Cai Yong, and as erudite as Lu Zhi; many people were full of poetry. Books and articles are excellent, but when it comes to governing the country and the world, they are likely to be fools.

And some people who are not so proficient in poetry and poetry, such as Jia Xu and Li Ru under Ma Chao, are basically masters of cunning and cunning, but they have their own unique insights into governing the country and governing the world.But when it comes to letting these two play poetry and songs... Ha ha, ha ha... Ma Chao smiled wryly and sneered twice in his heart, and really felt that this topic was a bit cold.

In view of this, Ma Chao began to ponder in his mind, whether Ci Fu will only account for a very small proportion of the opening of a subject under his own rule, while policy theory will account for 70.00% to [-]% of the share?The so-called policy theory is to make one's own analysis of the current situation and propose corresponding countermeasures, just like the current affairs analysis in the modern civil service examination.This point will be a threshold that cannot be passed by bookworms who study hard, and it will be very easy for Ma Chao to find the talents he needs.

"In the world, there are famous people, and there are also capable people. However, famous people and capable people complement each other. Famous people do not necessarily have ability, but there are many people who are capable but may not be famous or may be unknown. According to Wenhe's view , Do the Ma family need celebrities or talented people?" Ma Chao didn't answer the question, but in the question, he already expressed his intentions.

"Naturally, those who are worthy of their reputation and have both ability and integrity are the best choices, but if you have to choose one of the two, then the lord must have already made a fuss..." At this point, Jia Xu also smiled.

And Ma Chao smiled more obviously: "That's natural. I also hope to get some people from wealthy families, social sages, and celebrities to support the Ma family. But I can't really see it until I have experienced the wind and rain in Chang'an." The nature of meat eaters despicable. Therefore, we can only recruit insidious and cunning guys like you, an old fox, to help the Ma family..."

"My lord, what you said really hurt the hearts of my subordinates..." Although Jia Xu said so, the smile on Jia Xu's face became brighter and brighter.

"Crap nonsense! You will be in charge of the imperial examination. After three days, if you can't come up with a specific plan and delay your lord's wedding, be careful with that beard!" Ma Chao was in a happy mood and drifted away.

However, Jia Xu's face is full of sadness and inconsolability: the draft of the three provinces and six departments, Niu Fu's counterattack strategy in Chang'an, and now the matter of the imperial examination...My lord!Is it time for the old man to increase his salary this year? !
