Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Zhang Nuo, who had no idea that he had dug a big hole for all the candidates in the world, was currently enjoying his dream of making a fortune selling teaching materials without knowing it.

After Li Shimin figured it out, he was also amused to see the obscene smile on Xiao Zhang's shopkeeper's face. This Xiao Zhang's shopkeeper is really good, and he has one ghost idea after another, but I have to say that all of them are very useful. I know what to say.

"Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, brother, so, in your opinion, the most important thing in this imperial examination is the law rather than the classics and history?"

Li Shimin yelled several times before calling Zhang Nuo back to his senses. Zhang Nuo smiled disdainfully when he heard this question, and said contemptuously,

"The classics and historical books have a use! Enlightenment is useful, and writing books is also useful. What else is there?"

Li Shimin was taken aback after hearing this. Ordinary people don't know, but it doesn't make sense that shopkeeper Zhang doesn't know. What do you read if you don't read classics and historical books?

Why is it useless?Self-cultivation and morality all depend on reading!

But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhang Nuo started to rant!

"Old Li, don't talk nonsense, let me ask you, you are also literate, and your ability to make money comes from books?"

Li Shimin secretly replaced the ability to make money with the ability to govern the country in his heart, then thought about it, and then shook his head.

Seeing that Lao Li was honest, Zhang Nuo continued,

"You see, your ability to make money is not from books, and neither is mine. As for self-cultivation and morality, it is the result of the earnest teaching of your parents and elders. It has nothing to do with studying."

"Parents and elders are well-educated, and they can be well-known good people and filial sons without knowing a word, but if they are not well-educated, even if they are full of knowledge, they are nothing more than a moth."

"Besides, maybe these people who have studied but are not well-educated may harm more people! Those treacherous officials in history, who are not familiar with poetry and books, can do harm if they don't do it!"

Li Shimin was taken aback after hearing this, it seems that this is really the case!

Chapter 62

The reason why Zhang Nuo complained was because he talked about the imperial examination today, which aroused his sadness.

When he was studying, for some reason, his English grades could not improve.

But when he walked into the society and looked back, hey, it was useless to learn English in those years.

For a person living in a small city on the [-]th line, where can foreigners speak English to you?Watching a foreign movie has subtitles, English is the best?

Chinese can help him learn to read, mathematics can help him calculate accounts, geography can help him understand the size of the world, biology, physics, and chemistry can help him understand the common sense of life, and history can help him understand major events in ancient and modern times. Only English is really useless.

And it seems that most industries and jobs do not seem to use English.

Looking back, isn't that the case for these subjects in the imperial examinations now.

Li Shimin was also a little dazed at the moment. He always felt that what the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang said was reasonable, but what else could be tested in the imperial examination without these tests? Could it be that all of them were tested in Wu De Law?

Zhang Nuo was delighted to hear Lao Li's question. He really didn't expect Lao Li to be so confused by this question.

So he leaned over and patted Lao Li on the shoulder, and said after he recovered,

"Lao Li, let's not talk about what to test, let's look at it from the perspective of ordinary people and businessmen, what officials need to do, and then we can know what abilities they need."

Li Shimin's eyes immediately lit up when he heard the words, this is a good idea, it's a good idea to find talents with whatever abilities he needs from the actual situation.

Seeing that Lao Li agreed, Zhang Nuo said leisurely,

"Let's talk about county magistrates. As the most basic officials of the imperial court, as long as all county magistrates in the world are qualified, Datang will not be able to be strong."

"And as long as there is a problem with the county magistrate, it is a big problem, because the common people have no access to the emperor and high-ranking officials. In their eyes, the county magistrate is the big man who controls their life and death."

Li Shimin nodded in approval!

No matter what he said, he was also a figure who traveled all over the world and fought all over the world. Naturally, he knew that this was really the case in the local area.

In particular, Zhang Nuo said that all county magistrates in the world are qualified and Datang can't do it unless he wants to be strong, which made him very happy and recognized it very much.

After all, whether it is the implementation of the court's government orders or the payment of taxes, it is all implemented by the lower-level counties. This is the foundation of the country's dynasty!

Seeing that Lao Li did not object, Zhang Nuo raised his first finger and said slowly,

"The county magistrate's first ability is to understand the law!"

"Whether the east family lost a cow or the west family had a fight, the county magistrate will ultimately decide. We've talked about this before, so I won't say more!"

"In a word, a county magistrate who doesn't understand the law is fooling around."

The two had talked about this topic before, so naturally there was no need to continue the discussion. Li Shimin also agreed at the moment, after all, no matter how perfect the law is formulated, it still depends on the county magistrates to implement it.

If the county magistrate himself doesn't understand the law, then it's really just like Xiao Zhang's shopkeeper said, it's just nonsense.

Zhang Nuo leaned back and raised two fingers,

"The second ability is to understand agriculture!"

"At present, our dynasty is still based on agriculture. A supreme officer in charge of a county, who doesn't understand farming and farming time, is a mud bodhisattva. It's useless!"

"I don't know when to prepare for drought resistance in advance, I don't know when to prepare for breeding in advance, and I don't know how to maintain soil fertility. What is the use of such a county magistrate?"

Li Shimin raised his brows, and there was some disagreement here, and he asked with a smile,

"Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, this is a bit wrong. His Majesty doesn't know anything about farming, so he's doing a good job!"

Zhang Nuo glanced at Lao Li angrily. He was most annoyed by the stubborn mouth during this kind of chat, and replied angrily,

"Who is His Majesty, who is the county magistrate?"

"The courtiers around His Majesty are all talented people who will be famous in history in the future, but around the county magistrate, how many people can read and write?"
