Jian Yong's guess is not necessarily correct. Although most of the scholars in the Junzi camp are dressed in rags and look similar to civilians, they are rags. But who knows what their status was before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and why they must be poor.

Jian Yong smiled, bowed to Qin Shu, and congratulated, "Congratulations, brother, for reaching the top of the list. You will definitely soar into the sky this time, and your future is boundless!"

Qin Shu said seriously, "It's just a scientific examination. This was a fluke. However, this is only a thousand miles away from the beginning, and the journey is still long."

Seeing that Qin Shu was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and extremely calm, Jian Yong was surprised by his character. Those who can pull out the hidden secrets and stand out are indeed extraordinary.

After that, Jian Yong, who was concerned about his results, also hurried forward to look at the results.

Looking down from Qin Shu, Jian Yong looked at one person, but it was not him. He looked at another person, but it was not him. When he saw the last one at the bottom of the list, he still didn't see his name.

Jian Yong's heart sank, and he couldn't believe that he had failed the list. Jian Yong looked at the list again, but when he looked again, he still couldn't see his name. Not only his name was missing, but the names of other Zhuozhou scholars were also missing.

No.

For a moment, Jian Yong almost thought that Liu Xuande was favoring the Julu people, but then he thought about it, and Jian Yong was silent. As he saw, Qin Shu, who topped the list, although his clothes were tattered and his description was illegible, his extraordinary magnanimity could not be concealed.

.

The talent pool in Julu County is unparalleled in a small area like Zhuozhou County. It is very common for Zhuozhou scholars to be buried among them.

Liu Xuande seemed to be very fair and treated Julu scholars and Zhuozhou scholars equally.

Jian Yong sighed. He knew that his failure was purely because his knowledge was not as good as others.

Pulling himself together, Jian Yong continued to look down the list. After that, Jian Yong saw the first Zhuozhou scholar, Fu Shiren.

Jian Yong thought about it, among all the people, Fu Shiren was arrogant and isolated, but he was indeed the most knowledgeable.

Jian Yong nodded secretly. Fu Shiren, who was the most knowledgeable, indeed got the best ranking among Zhuozhou scholars. It seemed that Liu Bei's imperial examination was very fair.

Continuing to search, Jian Yong found himself among hundreds of names.

Although the ranking at the bottom is not ideal, Jian Yong thought about it again. Among the people in Zhuozhou, he was already ranked third among the people in Zhuozhou, which was considered to be in the front. With this result, Zhuozhou scholars must not be disappointed.

I will underestimate myself again.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jian Yong relaxed and looked at his own results with interest, and then looked at Qin Shu's results at the top of the list. After comparing each subject,

Jian Yong was convinced. Qin Shu studied extensively and got acceptable scores in every subject.

Jian Yong thought about himself again and realized that he couldn't do it. He had so many subjects and almost failed to pass them.

Continuing to look at the list of winners, Jian Yong saw that the first seventy people were selected based on their total scores, and the next thirty were the top ones in each subject.

Jian Yong looked at the group of people and saw that in the Confucian classics subject, there were two people in the rankings. The second person's score was only one point higher than his own. At this time, Jian Yong must have understood what it means to improve one point to kill a hundred people.

cutthroat competition.

He was only one point short of being on the list. Jian Yong regretted it, but he couldn't do it no matter how much he regretted it. Others had higher points.

At this time, Jian Yong noticed that after each successful scholar, there was a number. For example, Qin Shu's number at the top of the list was [C19], which meant that Qin Shu was the 19th person ranked in the fourth round of examination.

.

Seeing that the walls on the left and right were full of test papers, many people had finished reading the list and were already looking at the test papers. Jian Yong thought for a while and left the list.

In this imperial examination, Qin Shu, who topped the list, was undoubtedly the most dazzling one. Jian Yong wanted to see Qin Shu's papers. There were many others who had the same idea as Jian Yong. Everyone gathered at the base of the city wall to stare at Qin Shu's papers.

Based on the serial number, Jian Yong found the paper of Binglun 19 Qin Shu. On the paper, he saw black characters on white paper dotted with red cinnabar spots. This was the first time Jian Yong saw what the corrected test paper looked like.

After watching for a while, Jian Yong roughly understood that the answer with a red dot was wrong, and the answer without a red dot was correct.

The subject that Jian Yong studied was [Numerical]. Qin Shu might not be good at arithmetic. The red dots on the paper were here and there, making it look like a mess.

However, when I looked at the other papers on the side, I saw that there were more red spots on the other papers and they were even more messy.

After counting one roll, Qin Shu scored fifty-nine out of two hundred, and Jian Yong even laughed.

However, when Jian Yong went to find his paper, the score was written with a big fifty in red cinnabar, and Jian Yong's smile froze.

Even though Qin Shu's score was low, he himself was not as good as Qin Shu.

Jian Yong scratched his head. He looked up and stared at his test paper. There were too many red dots on the test paper and there were so many mistakes. Jian Yong even wondered how he could make so many mistakes.

Next to it was the standard answer sheet posted on a large piece of paper with a red frame. Jian Yong leaned over to look at it.

The standard answers are written in great detail, not only the answers, but also every step of the calculation and problem-solving process is written clearly.

Jian Yong's mathematics knowledge is not very profound. The standard answer is written in enough detail and the steps are clear enough. However, Jian Yong is still confused. But confusion is confusion, and ignorance is not understanding. Jian Yong sees the detailed and organized long speech.

After reading the answer, Jian Yong had a feeling that he must be right and he must be wrong.

For example, if asked what is the number of one plus one, etc., and you answer three, if he says, it is two, then you will feel dissatisfied. Why do you say that two pairs are two pairs? Why, what's the truth?

And if the other party explains in detail why one plus one equals two with serious and sufficient arguments, then he will be convinced. This is the truth.

The standard answers for the math subject are the ones with the most complete and clear logic. Later, Jian Yong looked at other subjects and compared the standard answers. Although the standard answers for other subjects were not as logically complete as the math subject, they were still

The standard answers are appropriate and sufficient. Generally speaking, the standard answers have much more words than all the scholars’ answers.

This means that whoever has more words will be justified.

When the scholars saw the number of words in the standard answers and compared them with their own incomplete answers, they felt less dissatisfied.

Li Mengxi chose to post all the test papers in order to make everything public in public, so that the scholars could witness it with their own eyes and judge whether it was fair or not.

And Li Mengxi successfully achieved this goal.

Qin Shu, a native of Julu Guangzong, became the focus as the first person on the list. Countless scholars rushed to various examination paper areas to find their own examination papers and Qin Shu's examination papers. Countless people took Qin Shu's examination papers.

Every word in every question was correct to my own question and the standard answer. I also carefully calculated the scores again.

Everything is seen so clearly and clearly, and if there is any injustice, it will be invisible under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes.

Of course, there is really no injustice at all. The scholars have no objection to the results of the imperial examination. Naturally, they have no objection to the selection results and the successful candidates.

Any other method of selecting talents, whether it is inspection or recommendation, there are too many human factors, and there is no way to convince everyone. But the imperial examination method depends entirely on the scores. If it works, it will work, if it doesn’t, it will not work.

It's clear and distinct, with no imprint whatsoever.

The most difficult equality and fairness in selecting talents were perfectly achieved under the imperial examination system.

Under the corner of the west city of Julu City, there was an endless stream of scholars walking back and forth. The scholars checked their papers, tallied up their scores, and then looked at the standard answers to see where they were wrong. And often, the standard answers were wrong.

The answers given are often very profound and thought-provoking. The process of checking the answers is undoubtedly a process of knowledge exchange and transfer. When the scholars have finished the things they care about most and have figured out their scores, they will be more interested in the imperial examination results.

After there were no more objections, the scholars wandered around and began to discuss the correct answer.

It can be said that the content of the fourteen volumes of the imperial examination is very complicated and has a wide range of knowledge. The fourteen examination papers can be said to be a summary of the fourteen types of knowledge. Scholars usually only read bamboo slips, but ten volumes of bamboo slips are more comprehensive.

The amount of knowledge contained in the fourteen subject test papers is comparable to the content contained in the previous test paper, which is comparable to a hundred bamboo slips. This is a lot of knowledge.

Jian Yong left the calculation area and looked at the standard answer for a long time. Jian Yong's neck was sore when he looked up at it. However, the question was too difficult. Even if he looked at the answer, Jian Yong couldn't understand it.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jian Yong really doesn’t understand why the ratio of circumference to diameter is not three to one, but the correct answer should be about three to one. It’s just one ratio, and there’s this one more

What's the difference between words? He really couldn't understand the answer, so Jian Yong had to give up.

After that, he went to other places. Jian Yong arrived at the Art of War Department, where a large number of people gathered.

Squeezing to the front, Jian Yong finally checked the standard answers to the test questions.

Many of the contents in the front of the volume on the Art of War are just recitations of Sun Tzu's Art of War. There is nothing to read. But the last question, after reading the answer, greatly inspired Jian Yong.

The question is, [After reading all of the Art of War, is it enough to hold it vertically and horizontally?]

The standard answer is written, "Military matters are complex and complex. Sun Tzu only has more than 6,000 words, so how can it explain everything? If you can't explain everything, you can't rely on it. So,

, Even if you read all the art of war, you will not be able to fully understand the war, you will not be able to rely on everything, and you will not be able to win every battle.

Therefore, if you read all the art of war, you will not be able to read it vertically and horizontally.

It's not that "Sun Tzu" is useless, but that Sun Tzu's description of war is not exhaustive, and there is no exhaustive and detailed military book in the world..."

Jian Yong looked at it and nodded repeatedly. It was said in the exposition that only reading the art of war without experiencing actual combat is like learning to swim on the shore, learning its shape without understanding the essence. After experiencing the battle, he drowned in the formation, just like Zhao Kuo in the Warring States Period.

Drowned in a battle.

Jian Yong sighed with emotion, this is such a true insight.

Involuntarily, a person appeared in Jian Yong's mind, the little young military advisor next to Liu Bei. The words that struck the truth with the whip must have come from the hands of the young military advisor.

He also asked, what is the profound meaning of the titles of Sun Tzu's thirteen chapters from top to bottom?

Jian Yong remembered what he had answered, and his answer was, like a salesman selling goods, the things that are commonly used are on the top and the things that are not commonly used are on the bottom.

But when Jian Yong went to see the answer, he wrote, "The way to use military force is to supplement the right and the odd. As the ancients said, "Use the right and the right to win, use the odd to win." I thought this was a big mistake.

In ancient battles, many were victorious by right and few were victorious by surprise. How can we say that victory is achieved through combination of right and wrong?

If you want to be more precise, it should be, [the art of war is to focus on righteousness and use surprise as supplement]..."

Jian Yong was surprised. The person who wrote the answer had experience in refuting the words of the sages. However, after Jian Yong thought about it again, he felt that it was extraordinarily reasonable.

How can we say that a serious battle can only lead to unity? How can we say that only a strange battle can win?

There are victories in regular battles, and there are also victories in strange battles. It is slightly inappropriate to judge the victory as a victory.

And if righteousness is important and oddness is supplementary, then there is nothing wrong with it.

Jian Yong compared his answers. What kind of salesman is usually used at the top and not at the bottom? Compared with Qi Zheng's discussion, the pattern is too low and incomparable.

Jian Yong looked at his score for this question again. It was full score. Jian Yong suddenly felt that this score was too high. Jian Yong couldn't help but shake his head.
