Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 314 Big Exam (1)

Zhou Cang's last words finally made the dignified atmosphere in the venue relax. "As the saying goes: There are no weak soldiers under a strong general, so you must strengthen your training and show your true skills on the battlefield. You will not be arrogant in victory, and you will not be discouraged in defeat. You must be as changeable as lightning!"

"Disband!" Zhou Cang said dryly, pulling his horse back.The soldiers of the Lightning Battalion stayed there for a long time before they dispersed.

"My lord, Huang Zhong is determined to live up to my lord's trust and train the Lightning Battalion into an elite division that surpasses Xiliang Iron Cavalry." Huang Zhong said.

"I just boosted the morale of the army." Zhou Cang said. "The 2000 people in the Lightning Battalion are still small, but we lack good horses. In the future, I plan to expand the number to 4000 people and divide the Lightning Battalion into two parts."

Huang Zhong's eyes widened, want to divide it into two parts?

Zhou Cang continued: "General Huang, don't worry. I'm just saying this. I'll let you in on the wind first. You might as well be prepared. The so-called two divisions, one is the current light cavalry, and the other is the heavy armored cavalry. "

"Heavy cavalry? Could it be a chariot on horseback?"

"Exactly, all the men and horses are in armor, and they don't have enough mobility. They are only for rushing and breaking the formation. But the conditions are not yet available. I plan to form it in three to five years."

Huang Zhong's eyes widened again, what kind of brain does Zhou Cang have, he has so many thoughts.three years?Will the conditions be ripe after three years?Is there any other big plan?

The problem with the leader is that he can arrange his time as he likes, and he can be arranged by time at any time.On July 630th of the sixth year of Jian’an, the Xuzhou University Examination was finally held as scheduled. A total of [-] candidates from all over the country gathered in Tancheng, the prefecture of Xuzhou.

The three-day written exam of the big exam is divided into five subjects: politics, business, agriculture, criminal law, and infrastructure. Since the medical science is more focused on business affairs, Zhou Cang and Hua Tuo have discussed that it will not be the content of the big exam. Instead, Hua Tuo will organize an expert group to evaluate , Qualified medical practice certificates are awarded, and those who hold medical practice certificates can practice medicine independently according to the type. The types are divided into internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and difficult miscellaneous subjects.

The college entrance examination is an eternal pain in Zhou Cang's heart, so he completely handed over the written examination to Sun Qian, Guan Ning, Cui Jun and others, and he did not show up.

Surprises are everywhere in the big exam: Candidates are all full of praise for using the Jian'an paper for the first time, and they are constantly surprised by the setting of the exam questions, and they still have choices and judgments, which is refreshing.The three-day written test was over, and the examinees had three days off to rest. However, the discussions on the Jian'an paper and the test format continued for a long time in the streets and alleys, which was not weaker than the discussion on the test questions.Those who are interested are looking around how to buy Jian'an paper.

The interview started on July [-]th, and the interview was still aimed at all the candidates, instead of being eliminated based on the written test scores.Zhou Cang finally showed up and toured the various examination rooms. He wanted to know the candidates and also wanted to know more about the judges.

Cui Jun was the chief examiner for the administration, and Meng Jian was the deputy examiner. Cui Jun gathered eight candidates together and asked them to have a debate. The topic of the debate was: What makes a good magistrate.Each person is limited to say what they think is the most important item.

Student A: "I think the first thing to do is to be honest and fair."

Student B: "I think it is necessary to implement the state pastoral government's governance strategy."

Student C: "I think it is necessary to be educated and educate the common people."

Student Ding: "I think production must be developed so that the common people will have no worries about food and clothing."

……

After the individual explanations were completed, they began to debate with each other. Some emphasized that virtue should be the first priority, while others believed that the people's prosperity should be the most important thing, and some insisted on implementing the orders of their superiors.Some denounced others for ignoring virtue, while others believed that outstanding political achievements and a slight loss in virtue are better than the whole county suffering from cold and cold.Only the examinee who emphasized personal political achievements was condemned by everyone, who thought that such a person was the most abominable person who ignored the suffering of the people, and it was very lively.

Zhou Cang signaled Cui Jun not to worry about himself, but quietly hid beside him and listened.At the end of the first round of discussion, Cui Jun said: "Do you have any new ideas? Or has anyone changed their minds?"

The eight people shook their heads together, unwilling to change their minds.

"Okay, the interview is over, you can go back."

When the examinee left, Cui Jun came to Zhou Cang and bowed deeply: "I didn't expect Xuzhou scholars to have such insights. It's a pity to congratulate."

Meng Jian said: "Looking through the candidates' materials, I found that even the students of the college see differently. It can be seen that the rumors that Xuzhou is a monologue, rebellious and deviant, are really unbelievable. It's just that the students of the college pay more attention to people's livelihood and the education of the people, while others Students pay more attention to self-cultivation and service to the emperor, what does the emperor think?"

What a tricky question!

"For interviews, the important thing is to look at their thinking and cognition. It is inevitable to have different opinions and different political strategies. The key is to use the right people in the right place." Zhou Cang said perfunctorily.

"Even if there is a thousand-mile horse, there must be Bole." Meng Jian said persistently. "And how to use these people in the right place?"

Zhou Cang pondered for a while and said: "A person who has both ability and political integrity, is modest and eager to learn can be called a sage, but how many people have been called sages since ancient times? Besides, virtue is the most difficult to judge. Even great sages sometimes do wrong things. What is the purpose of this proposition? He is considered a good county magistrate, so he has already been positioned as a county magistrate first, so he should not be judged by the standards of sages."

Meng Jian nodded, what he said was true. "Then what do you think you should do?"

"Hehe, the county magistrate is the magistrate of a county, but there is not only one person in a county. Therefore, he can at least be a model for a county official, leading and motivating the officials under him, but he cannot be dominated by one person. The right way is to work together. As a superior officer, you must know your subordinates well, use their talents according to their abilities, and if there is always a deficiency, you must have a suitable partner to fill in the gaps."

Although Zhou Cang didn't answer Meng Jian's question directly, Cui Jun has already keenly discovered that the bureaucratic system in Zhou Cang's mind is a whole, not an individual.No wonder Xuzhou has to conduct a major exam, and it is divided into mathematics.

Zhou Cang went on to say: "Being an official is different from being a scholar. Officials, the parents of the people, caress the people on behalf of the king." "At different times, different environments have different usages. In other words, officials must have different governance strategies. The first priority of a rich land is not to open up wasteland and cultivate fields. That is what a barren land should do. Flooding occurs frequently. In the land, water control should be the top priority, rather than teaching the people to know the book and reason. Everything has a sequence. As far as the county magistrate is concerned, the people are the foundation, the country is the most important, and it is adapted to local conditions and the times. It's for a good official."

Cui Jun and Meng Jian clasped their hands and said, "I've been taught!"
