Chapter 323 Discussion

"It's amazing to hear that someone has already guessed the question!" Before the person arrived, the voice came first, and a clear voice came from far and near.

Two people in the room looked up at the same time, and one of them laughed out loud: "Why is Fu Chen here? But he escaped from official duties?"

"What's the matter! I'm just here to look for someone in the courtyard, and I'm going to visit Brother Guo..." Zu Taizhi had already strode into the entrance hall. Seeing that there was another person beside Guo Pu, he couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly saluted, "I don't know, Brother Gan." Also, sorry, sorry."

Sitting next to Guo Pu is Gan Bao who just entered the Qiuxian Academy last year.This man's grandfather, Gantong, was General Wu Fenwu and Marquis of Duting, but his father was only a Danyang Cheng, not a famous family.However, he was young and studious, read a lot of books, and his literary name was outside, so it is still possible for him to take up the position of individual driver or the like.

Of course, this is the plan of the Taiping era.Now that there is chaos everywhere, how can there be any time for promotion step by step?Gan Bao thought to himself that his hometown was in chaos and it was hard to find stability.He also heard all kinds of rumors in Bingzhou Library, thought for a long time, and finally came to Jinyang and became an academician.

Qiuxianyuan is different from Qiuzhiyuan. It is a place where officials are selected for Zhenger Bajing.According to the theory, Gan Bao should plunge into the pile of books happily, or discuss the classics with his colleagues, until he becomes an official one day.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him to become friends with Guo Pu, a "hermit" from the Institute of Knowledge.It was through Guo Pu that he established a deep friendship with Ge Hong.As for Zu Taizhi, the occasional Sigong who joins the army, he can be regarded as a nodding acquaintance.

"Zu joined the army to see you." Gan Bao said warmly, "I don't know what you just said about guessing the question?"

This sentence turned the atmosphere around.Ancestor Taizhi was not a stickler either, and sat down beside the two of them with a smile: "Isn't it just a compulsory subject? Someone actually compiled the previous exam questions and made a booklet, saying that he could infer the current exam questions. A copy is also It costs thousands of dollars."

As soon as these words came out, Guo Pu and Gan Bao both laughed.It has only been two years since the rise of the system department, and a total of three or four exams have been taken. What can be summed up?And that topic, in the eyes of geniuses like them who read everything and never forget, is like a child's play.It is ridiculous to guess the questions for such a simple test.

Guo Pu shook his head: "I'm afraid someone will be fooled."

"Maybe." Ancestor Tai said, "At least one subject of calculation can be seen. Who hasn't read "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"? The other is the key."

The annotated version of "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" has become a must-learn book for arithmetic subjects since it was published.When I first started the department, I could still rely on basic skills to distinguish myself.Now that such a long time has passed, if you don't know "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" by heart, who would dare to take the test?Those who want to distinguish between superior and inferior can only rely on other topics.

"After reading a few books, you will be able to pass the exam. This is the disadvantage of the system." Gan Bao sighed.Like him, he has no interest in arithmetic at all, and has read "Nine Chapters", "Zhoubi Suanjing" and other books.I am passionate about classics and history, and I have read a lot.For this kind of department that delimits the scope of the examination, it is simply dismissive.

"It's just the selection of officials, so why worry about it." Guo Pu understood it clearly.Aren't those who are truly knowledgeable still seeking talents and knowledge?Department system is not the only way to select materials now, it is just a supplement.

"Not necessarily all of them are officials. Many aristocratic families have Shu Zong to participate in the test this year, so maybe what they will look like in the future." Anyway, Zu Taizhi is also a Sigong who joined the army, and he is an important member of the Sixth Division of the Governor's Mansion.For the development of the state, I have a deeper understanding.

It's just that no matter how much I emphasize, this matter has nothing to do with the two top students in front of me.Guo Pu smiled: "I don't mention mundane 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 now, and he can also be called a big official, but he has not given up on his previous hobbies.He has always paid attention to the research on the concept of good fortune. The new dyes that have recently appeared on the market are one of the successes in the study of the concept of good fortune.

But this time, what he wrote in the letter was not about these, but some new discoveries about alchemy.In addition to the drug ratio, a method of extracting sulfur essence from minerals is also detailed.Ge Hong's writing is exquisite and very accessible to others. When he writes it carefully, people are dazzled.

Zu Taizhi couldn't help praising: "Brother Ge has made great progress in alchemy! Can this sulfur essence really come from green alum?"

This can be asked by Yu Blind. Although Guo Pu and Gan Bao like the theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements and are proficient in Yi theory, they are not good at alchemy.

"Maybe I can go to see it?" Guo Pu said with a twist of his beard, "but this is the last part. Zhi Chuan said in his letter that maybe he can make a pharmacopoeia like "Erya"."

Guo Pu has been annotating "Erya" for a long time. Although he is lonely, people who have seen his manuscripts are full of praise.In particular, his method of drawing to clarify names and objects makes the objects described more clear 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 medicinal properties are very different. If they are used wrongly, they will kill people. Zhichuan saw that my drawing method is very good, so he thought of injecting medicine." Guo Pu explained.

Only then did Zu Taizhi understand, 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 popular science.What's more, who doesn't have parents, wives and relatives?Learning some medical skills is also of great benefit.Ge Hong is keen on alchemy and close to pharmacology, so Zu Taizhi naturally knows it, but he didn't expect him to have such a plan.There are thousands of herbs in the world, and it is not easy to explain them one by one.

"If the pharmacopoeia is really written, it may not be done by Zhichuan alone." Gan Bao interjected, "It's better to find more editors and work together like Shi Shi, and the speed will be a little faster."

"This is a project that needs to be established." Guo Pu is an expert in this matter, "But let the people in the hospital know about this matter, and they must give their full support. After the book is completed, maybe it can be published all over the world."

Bingzhou's current engraving and printing techniques are quite mature.But 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 Mansion, you must vote for the Liang County Government.Medicine is promoted by the county government.If this kind of material selection is really successful, it might not be a great work worthy of being famous for future generations.

Hearing this, Gan Bao also had some envy in his eyes.Whether it's Qiuzhiyuan or Qiuxianyuan, who doesn't want their books to be widely circulated?Copying 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 is really inferior to Ge Hong or Guo Pu in front of him.

Zu Taizhi is not a material for learning, and he doesn't care whether Ge Hong has another chance to be handed down.Hearing this, he remembered his own reason for coming: "By the way, I heard that another collection of books has been sent from Luoyang. Did Brother Guo find any new books?"

Luoyang Taixue and Guozixue were burned, and tens of thousands of rare books were lost.Therefore, after recovering Luoyang, Liang Feng first ordered to sort out the residual books in Luoyang and transport them to Bingzhou.These books are treasures for many people.Seeking talents and seeking knowledge, the two courts may even compete for it.

Guo Pu relies on his own approval of the project, which is also a project valued by the governor's office, so he can pick a choice before others every time.And most of the books he chooses are miscellaneous books, which may not be of interest to others.But others were not interested, but Zu Taizhi was very interested, so he came to him while he was away for work.

Guo Pu laughed: "Yes, there are, and there are still a few books of Zhiguai. But my brother is late this time, and we have to wait until Ling Sheng finishes reading."

Zutaizhi was surprised and said: "Brother Gan also likes ghosts?"

He thought that most of the people who liked this kind of thing were from the Institute of Knowledge.I didn't expect that Ganbao, who is from Qiuxian Academy, also likes such miscellaneous books.

Gan Bao didn't shy away from it: "It's strange and interesting, which is enough to show that the divine way is not false. I have also remembered a few."

"Ah! Can I read it for my little brother?" Zu Taizhi immediately regained his spirits.Did he know that Gan Bao's diction was far better than his own, and he didn't know what the ghosts he wrote would look like.

Unexpectedly, the two had the same interests in this matter, and Gan Bao was not stingy, so he agreed.After all, Zu Taizhi still had official duties, so he chatted happily and gave up the new book before leaving satisfied.

"I'm afraid there are no less than 30 descendants of the gentry in this branch." What Zu Taizhi said as an anecdote was not so simple in the mouth of Fan Long, a priest who joined the army. "Even the Jinyang Guo family has several People should take the exam. Although they are all Shuzong, 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 officialdom.But now, Gao Men actually lowered his figure and participated in the department.This impact can be great.May I ask, how can a common clan without a good teacher and lack of books compare to a family with a great career and a deep foundation?Maybe after several rounds of exams, Gaomen still has to get the qualifications.

In this way, how is it different from the original Nine-Rank System?

However, Liang Feng didn't show any surprise on his face: "It's a good thing if someone is willing to break the knot. If it's monolithic, it will cause headaches."

With Gao Men's incomparably flexible attitude towards the world, this is simply a predictable problem.But Liang Feng was not afraid either.What he wanted was never to completely suppress the noble family and let the poor family take over.Instead, split up existing interest groups and make them work for you.

In an era of extreme differentiation of educational capital, there must be more talents among high schools.As long as you can pass the system, show your due talents, and incorporate them into your new system, why do you care about your background?

In fact, the more rebellious families there are, the weaker the cohesion of the family will be.Those aristocratic families who are "willing to degenerate" will inevitably be rejected by another wave of people who maintain their own identities.And this is the basis for him to expand the scope of the imperial examination and truly use it as the standard for selecting officials.

After hearing only one word, Fan Long understood what the lord needed, and he sighed slightly in his heart.In this way, it will be even more difficult for the humble family to get ahead.

But even if he has a psychological tendency, he also knows the importance of things, nodded and said: "I understand. But if this is the case, I am afraid that the number of people who refer to it will increase every year. In Hongwen Academy, it may not be possible to sit down."

This is also a big problem.At present, there are no less than 500 people participating in the system of subjects, only one subject of Mingjing.Even if the three subjects are tested on separate dates, the pressure on the examination room and invigilators 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: "When the prefectures are settled down, let's take the provincial examination first. Each prefecture selects a county, and the department will start in spring. Those who can pass the provincial examination will come to Jinyang to participate in the autumn exam."

"That's a good way. It's just a rural exam, so I'm afraid there will be more abuses." Fan Long was a county school sacrificing wine, and cheating in exams is really not uncommon.If the power of invigilation is delegated to local governments, will it be controlled by the aristocratic family again?

"Then think of ways to prevent it." What else could Liang Feng do?In the later generations, there will be substitutes for the college entrance examination, not to mention this evil class society, "There are still county schools, which can also be included in the scope of rural examinations. When the situation is stable, the county schools should be reinvigorated!"

Seeing Weizhi's work, Fan Long immediately recognized the meaning of Liang Feng's words.This is to make the county school a school that even poor people can enroll in?If this is the case, it is really possible to decentralize the power of the rural examination.And this point also represents the importance that the lord attaches to teachings.If things go on like this, why worry about being virtuous?

But these are just prospects.Although excited, Fan Long didn't bother with it, and turned back to the topic of the department.The stakes are high, and the details cannot be overlooked.After talking one by one for a long time, he took the order and retreated.

The course will start in two days, and I don't know how many useful people can 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 working for a whole day, let's have a meal first, take a break and talk about it later.

But thinking so, when he stepped into the room, 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: Well, the last chapter was about the Health Association.

Wei Xie, a painter in the Western Jin Dynasty.He was taught by Cao Fuxing, and together with Zhang Mo, he was called the "Painting Saint".As a figure of Taoism and Buddhism, he is the most contemporary.His line drawings are as thin as a spider's web, but powerful, and his paintings of figures dare not be clear.Gu Kaizhi thinks that he is not good enough, and his "Seven Buddhas" and "Xia Yin Da Lie Dv" are all handed down and handed down with momentum. "Northern Wind Poetry Map" is ingenious and dense in emotion, and it is highly valued in the world.Xie He commented on his paintings: "All ancient paintings are sketched, until Xieshi is perfect. Among the six methods, the one that is good at both."

There is also Ganbao, three words, "Sou Shen Ji".But his job is to write history.He wrote "Jin Ji", from Emperor Xuan to the 53rd year of Emperor Min, with [-] volumes.His book is concise, straight and tactful, and he is called a good history.

For the few people who appear in this chapter, there are two volumes of Zhiguai left in Zutaizhi, Gan Bao wrote "Sou Shen Ji", needless to say Guo Pu and Ge Hong.But it’s kindred spirits XD
