"It's amazing to hear that someone has already guessed the question!" Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, and a clear voice came from far to near.
The two in the room raised their heads at the same time, and one of them laughed out loud: "Where did Fu Chen come? But escaped from official business?"
"There's no such thing! It's just that I came to the courtyard to look for someone, and I came to visit Brother Guo..." Zu Taizhi had already strode into the entrance hall. Here, disrespectful disrespect."
Sitting beside Guo Pu was Gan Bao, who only entered the Qiuxian Academy last year. This person's grandfather, Gan Tong, was General Wu Fenwu and Marquis of Duting, but his father was only a Danyang Cheng, not a famous family. However, he is young and diligent in study, has extensive knowledge of books, and has a famous literary name. If he wants to take up positions such as individual drivers, it is still possible.
Of course, this is the plan of the peaceful years. Now that there is chaos everywhere, how can there be any spare time for step-by-step promotion? Ganbao thinks about the chaos in his hometown, and it is difficult to find peace. I heard all kinds of rumors about the Bingzhou Library, and after thinking for a long time, I finally came to Jinyang and became an academician.
Qiu Xian Yuan is different from Qiu Zhi Yuan, it is the place where the officials of the eight classics are selected, and the contacts are all Confucian scholars, and the collection of books is not inferior to Luoyang Taixue. According to reason, Ganbao should happily plunge into the stack of books, or discuss classics with his colleagues, until one day he becomes an official.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him to become a good friend with Guo Pu, a "hermit" from the Academy of Knowledge. Through Guo Pu, he established a deep friendship with Ge Hong. As for Zu Taizhi, an occasional commander who joined the army, it was considered a nodding acquaintance.
"Ancestor joined the army to see the outside world." Gan Bao said warmly, "I don't know what you just said to guess the question, what is it?"
This sentence turned the atmosphere around. Zu Taizhi was not a rigid person either, he smiled and sat beside the two of them: "Isn't that the system? Some people have compiled the previous exam questions and made a booklet, saying that they can infer the exam questions for today's exam. It's going to cost you thousands of dollars."
As soon as these words came out, both Guo Pu and Gan Bao laughed. It has only been two years since the establishment of the system, and the exam has been taken three or four times in total. What can you conclude? And that topic, in the eyes of geniuses like them who have no books to read and never forget, seems like a child's play. It's ridiculous to have to guess the questions for such a simple test.
Guo Pu shook his head: "I'm afraid someone will be fooled."
"Maybe." One of the ancestors snorted, "At least it is a subject, and you can still see some clues. Who hasn't read "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"? The next thing is the key."
Since the annotated edition of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" was published, it has become a must-learn book for arithmetic. When I first started the system, I could still rely on basic skills to differentiate myself. Now that so long has passed, and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is not thoroughly familiar, who would dare to take the test? If you want to distinguish between superior and inferior, you can only rely on other topics.
"After reading a few books, you will be able to take the test, which is the disadvantage of making a subject." Gan Bao sighed on the side. Like him, he is not interested in arithmetic at all, and he has also read books such as "Nine Chapters" and "Zhou Bi Suanjing". Passionate about classics and history, I have read a lot. For this kind of system that defines the scope of the examination, it is simply dismissive.
"It's just an elector, why bother." Guo Pu could see clearly. The truly erudite, aren't they still seeking talents and knowledge? The system is not the only way to select materials now, it is just a supplement.
"It's not necessarily all officials. This year, many families have Shuzong to participate in the test. Maybe it will look like in the future." No matter what, Zu Taizhi was also an engineer and joined the army, and he was an important member of the Sixth Division of the Governor's House. For the development of the state, the understanding is more profound.
No matter how hard I emphasize, this matter has nothing to do with the two scholars in front of me. Guo Pu smiled: "Don't mention common affairs. I just received a letter from Zhichuan, which is very interesting. Fu Chen, take a look!"
Being diverted from the topic, Zu Taizhi didn't mind, he took the letter from Guo Pu and read it. Ge Hong is still in Yecheng, and he is also known as a party official, but he has not let go of his former hobbies. He has been paying attention to the study of the concept of fortune, and the new type of dyes that have appeared on the market recently is one of the successes of the study of the concept of good fortune.
But this time, what he said in the letter was not these, but some new discoveries about alchemy. In addition to the drug ratio, a method of extracting sulfur essence from minerals is also described in detail. Ge Hong's writing is exquisite, very capable, and when he writes it in detail, people who read it are simply dazzled.
Zu Taizhi couldn't help but praise: "Brother Ge has made great progress in Danshu! Can this sulfur essence really come from blue alum?"
This is a question for Yu Bing. Although Guo Pu and Gan Bao both liked the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, and were proficient in easy principles, they were not experts in alchemy.
"Maybe I can go to Fortune and watch it?" Guo Pu twisted his beard and said, "But this is the last part. In the letter, Zhichuan said, maybe he can make a pharmacopoeia like "Erya"."
Guo Pu has been annotating Erya for a long time. Although he is unfamiliar, people who have seen his manuscript are full of admiration. In particular, his method of drawing and explaining famous things makes the things described at a glance.
One of the ancestors was stunned: "What is the use of this pharmacopoeia?"
"Many medicinal herbs are similar in shape, but their pharmacological properties are quite different. If they are used incorrectly, it would not be life-threatening. Zhichuan only thought of injecting medicines when he saw that my drawing was very good." Guo Pu explained.
Only then did Zu Taizhi understand it, and he nodded again and again: "Brother Ge's actions can also benefit a hundred generations!"
Among the departments in Bingzhou, there is a medical department. Medicine has long been a deeply rooted science. What's more, who doesn't have a parent and a wife? Learning some medical skills is also very helpful. Ge Hong is keen on alchemy and is close to pharmacology. Zu Taizhi naturally knew it, but he didn't expect him to have such a plan. There are thousands of medicinal herbs in the world, and it is not easy to explain them one by one.
"If it is true that the pharmacopoeia is written, it may not be entirely done by Zhichuan alone." Gan Bao interrupted, "It's better to find more editors and work together with the history, and the speed will be a little faster."
"This is about to be approved." Guo Pu is an expert in this matter, "but let the people in the hospital know about this matter, and they must support it. After the book is written, it may be published in the world."
The woodblock printing technique in Bingzhou is quite mature. However, the number of books that can be printed is still limited. It is really time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the financial resources of ordinary people are far from being able to support it. And if you want to get the support of the governor's office, you must go to the Liangjun office. Medicine is promoted by the Duke of the county. If such a selection of materials can really be successful, it may not be a masterpiece worthy of the future generations.
Hearing this, Gan Bao also had some envy in his eyes. Whether it is the Academy of Knowledge or the Academy of Excellence, who doesn't want their books to be widely circulated? Transcription is good, but it is not as good as engraving. It's just that he has been in Bingzhou for so long, and he hasn't decided what he wants to study. He really can't compare to Ge Hong or Guo Pu in front of him.
Zu Taizhi is not a material for learning, let alone whether Ge Hong has another chance to pass it on. Hearing this, I remembered my purpose: "By the way, I heard that a batch of books was sent from Luoyang. Has Brother Guo found the new book?"
Luoyang Taixue and Guozixue were burned, and tens of thousands of rare books were lost. Therefore, after recovering Luoyang, Liang Feng first ordered the remnants of Luoyang to be sorted out and transported to Bingzhou. These books are the treasures of many people. Seeking talents and seeking knowledge, the two courts have to fight for it if they can't.
Relying on his own project, Guo Pu is still a project that is valued by the provincial governor's office, and he can always choose one before others. And most of the books he chooses are miscellaneous books, and others may not be interested. But others are not interested, but Zu Taizhi is very interested, so he came to the door when he was not going out to work.
Guo Pu laughed: "Yes, yes, there are still a few quirks. But Brother Xian is late this time, and we will talk about it after Ling Sheng is finished."
Zu Taizhi said in amazement: "Brother is also happy?"
He thought that people who liked this kind of thing were mostly from the Academy of Knowledge. Unexpectedly, Ganbao, a talent-seeking institute, also likes this kind of miscellaneous books.
Ganbao did not shy away: "It is strange and interesting, and it is enough to show that the divine way is not false. I also remembered a few."
"Ah! Can you give my younger brother a read?" Zu Taizhi immediately came to his senses. He knew that Ganbao's words were far superior to his own, and he didn't know what the ghosts would look like.
Unexpectedly, the two of them have similar interests in this matter, and Ganbao is not stingy, and agrees with one bite. Zu Taizhi still had official business after all, so he happily chatted for a few more words, and spared the new book before leaving satisfied.

"I'm afraid there are no less than thirty children of the gentry in Jinke." Zu Taizhi regarded it as an anecdote, but Fan Long, a priest who joined the army, said it was not that simple. "Even Jinyang Guo's family has Several people took the test. Although they are all sectarians, they should not be underestimated."
The original purpose of the system was to balance the power of the poor and the high, and to open the channel for the poor to enter the office. And now, Gaomen has also pulled down his body and participated in the system. This has a big impact. How can a concubine without a good teacher and a lack of books be able to compete with a family with great fortune and deep roots? Maybe after several rounds of examinations, it is still necessary to let the high gate get the qualification.
In this way, what is the difference from the original nine-rank system
However, there was no surprised expression on Liang Feng's face: "Someone is willing to break the knot, but it is a good thing. If it is monolithic, it will give people a headache."
With Gaomen's extremely flexible attitude towards life, this is simply an expected problem. However, Liang Feng was not afraid. What he wants has never been to completely suppress the noble family and let the poor family take the top. Instead, break up existing interest groups and use them for their own use.
In the era of extreme differentiation of educational capital, there must be more talents in the high school. As long as you can pass the system, show your due talents, and incorporate them into your new system, why should you care about your background
In fact, the more high-level rebels there are, the weaker the family's cohesion will be. Those families who "willed to degenerate" will inevitably be rejected by another wave of people who hold their own identities. And this is the basis for him to expand the scope of the imperial examination and really use it as the standard for selecting officials.
Just listening to one sentence, Fan Long understood what the lord needed, and sighed slightly in his heart. In this way, it is even more difficult for the poor family to get ahead.
But even if there is a psychological trend, he knows that things need to be prioritized, and nodded: "Xiaguan understands. But this way, I am afraid that the number of people who refer to it will increase every year. In the Hongwen Academy, it may not be able to sit down."
This is also a big problem. Now there are no less than 500 people who are taking part in the system of the Mingjing Classics only. Even if the three subjects are tested on separate dates, the pressure on the examination room and the invigilator is quite severe. Is it possible that every time the exam starts in the future, it is necessary to prepare an exam room with thousands of people
Liang Feng shook his head: "After the prefectures are settled, the township examination will be conducted first. Select a county in each prefecture, and the department will be opened in the spring. Those who can pass the township examination will come to Jinyang to participate in the autumn season."
"That's a good way. It's just the township exam, so I'm afraid there will be a lot of cheating." Fan Long had been a prefectural school sacrificial wine, and cheating in exams is not uncommon. If the power of invigilation is delegated to a place, will it be controlled by the family again
"Then think of ways to prevent it." What else could Liang Feng do? In later generations, there will still be substitutes for the college entrance examination, not to mention this evil class society, "there are also county studies, which can also be included in the scope of the township examination. When the situation is stable, let's revive the county studies!"
Seeing Weizhi, Fan Long immediately understood what Liang Feng meant. This is to make the county school a school that even the poor can enter? If so, it is really possible to decentralize the power of the rural examination. And this also represents the Lord's emphasis on teaching. If things go on like this, why worry about being virtuous
But these are just prospects. Although he was excited, Fan Long didn't bother about it, and turned back to the topic of system control. The stakes are important, and the details cannot be overlooked. After talking one by one for a long time, he led the order to retreat.
The course will start in two days, and I don’t know how many useful people will be selected this time. There are still many vacancies in Sizhou. Liang Feng rubbed his forehead, stood up, and walked towards the back house.
After a day's work, I'd better have a meal first, then let's take a break.
However, thinking about it this way, when he stepped into the house, two people, one big and one small, sitting opposite each other, looked at them at the same time.
"Father!"
"Lord!"
The author has something to say: Uh, the last chapter was about the Health Association.
Health Association, Western Jin painter. Under the tutelage of Cao Fuxing, together with Zhang Mo, he is known as the "Painting Saint". As a Taoist figure, he ranks first in the contemporary era. His line drawing is as fine as a spider's web, but his brushwork is powerful, and he does not dare to point out the fineness in his paintings of figures. Gu Kaizhi thought it was too late, and his "Seven Buddhas" and "Xia Yin Da Lie Nv" were hand-delivered together and had a situation. "North Wind Poems", ingenious in love and thinking, is precious in the world. Xie He pinned his paintings: "The ancient paintings are all abbreviated, and the essence of the association is the beginning. Among the six methods, the best is the best."
There are also dry treasures, three words, "Sou Shen Ji". But his main job is to study history. The "Jin Ji" was written in twenty volumes from Emperor Xuan to Emperor Min in fifty-three years. The book is brief, straight and tactful, and is called a good history.
For the few people who appeared in this chapter, Zu Taizhi left two volumes of Zhiguai, Gan Bao wrote "Sou Shen Ji", not to mention Guo Pu and Ge Hong. Isn't it just like-minded? XD
