Chapter 567: Scholars making trouble

After the awards were given, Su You received a gold commemorative medal: "Your Majesty, this is the heartfelt wish of all the colleagues in the Ordnance Supervision. The achievements of the Ordnance Supervision cannot be separated from your strong support and your wise guidance.

.”

There is a set of exquisite gear sets on the stamped medal. The upper part is a cross pattern of a wrench and a centimeter. The lower half circle around the outside is a pi number, accurate to twelve decimal places.

In the upper half circle, there is a line of neat small characters: "Commemorative Medal for the Establishment of the Imperial and Song Dynasty Ordnance Supervision in the Second Year of Xining".

Su You solemnly said: "The gear set and tool set represent science and engineering, the pi number represents fineness, and the texture of pure gold represents purity. Guided by science and engineering, more refined, finer, and purer will always be the weapon supervisor.

pursuit of goals.”

Zhao Xu looked at the exquisite medal, then looked up at the expectant eyes below, with a little moisture in the corners of his eyes: "Okay! This is a great gift! I accept your thoughtfulness. I hope you will continue to work hard and continue to create products for the Huangsong Dynasty.

Produce excellent weapons! Let all enemies who covet the Emperor and Song Dynasty be wiped out in the hell of fire and steel!"

The crowd was furious, and everyone raised their arms and shouted: "Dare to die for the Emperor Song!"

Lu Huiqing looked at the excited crowd, her eyes flickering, wondering what she was thinking.

At this moment, a red feather rider rushed outside the weapons prison, and the guarding sergeant immediately aimed a giant crossbow at him.

Hong Ling held up the document: "Students in Bianjing are causing trouble, and by order of the king, I ask your majesty to return to the capital as soon as possible!"

The four-wheeled carriage was speeding on the road, with Su You, Lu Huiqing and Zhao Xu all in the carriage.

The reason why Su You was in the car was because the matter was related to him.

Scholars from all over the Ming Dynasty were beating the drum, and Wang Anshi could only accept the report from the scholars - Su You, the official in the Ming Dynasty, was manipulating his literary background and flattering his relatives. He was a traitor and a sycophant.

In the court hall, I begged His Majesty to banish the barbarians to serve as a warning to others!

The article is well written, and the reason is that during the selection of Mingshu Branch, most of the positions were occupied by members of the Zhao and Song royal families, while only a handful of other people were represented.

Su You, who was a genuine Jinshi, asked Lu Huiqing: "It's just a calculation department, even if it's successful, at most it's the secretary's office and staff, how can it cause such a big fuss?"

Lu Huiqing said: "After all, it is a national and Chinese election, and the first priority is fairness. How did Mingrun do it when grading the papers? How could such a situation happen?"

Su You was speechless: "Hundreds of math papers were given to me, and the questions were simple. I finished them in one night. When I was in Meishan, I didn't correct dozens of papers that night..."

Seeing Zhao Xu's livid face, he shut up and didn't dare to say any more.

Lu Huiqing said: "Mingrun, when you graded the papers, did you really have no tendency at all?"

Su You felt extremely wronged: "In order to satisfy the grading habits of scholars, I also specially turned over the "Nine Chapters" and replaced the questions with the question patterns in the Nine Chapters. When grading the papers, some of the answer sheets were also confused.

This nonsense makes no sense, even the numbers given in the questions are written blindly, and you still expect me to tick him?"

Lu Huiqing thought for a while and suddenly understood something: "Wait a minute, Mingrun, did you make up your questions yourself? Didn't you take them from several arithmetic scriptures issued by the imperial court?"

Su You slapped his forehead: "That's right! Many people don't write about the problem-solving process, but only the answers. Is this the reason?"

"For example, in the question of chicken and rabbit in the same cage, many wrong answers are the same, chicken twenty-three and rabbit twelve. It's really weird."

Lu Huiqing's learned knowledge Qiang remembered: ""Sun Zi Suan Jing", there are chickens and rabbits in the same cage today, with thirty-five heads on the top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. I want to ask how many chickens and rabbits are there? Is this the way? Then there are twenty chickens.

Three, rabbit twelve, is the correct answer."

Su You was shocked: "But my question is, there are fifty-two heads on top and one hundred and forty-four legs on bottom. The answer should be thirty-two chickens and twenty rabbits!"

Lu Huiqing in turn counted his head and feet: "Your Majesty, I know the reason. If Mingrun changes the question like this, those who memorize it by rote will no longer be able to make up for it."

Su You nodded: "That's right, the question just now was just for scoring points. The difficult ones were like Han Xin's troops. The final answer was thirty-two thousand five hundred and seventy-two. If you don't know the algorithm, you will never figure it out - Ming Ming Ming

Calculation, isn’t it a test of mastery of algorithms?”

Lu Huiqing nodded, then shook his head: "No, how do the royal family members know the algorithm?"

Zhao Xu suddenly understood: "Little sister! Royal Institute of Technology!"

Su You wanted to refute but didn't dare. You call me Miss? You should call me Su Xianjun!

In short, things have been sorted out. Su You’s open calculation questions are still the same types of questions, but the numbers have changed. The teachers who set the questions in the past are all recent Jinshi in the new department. I am afraid that even they themselves can’t figure out the algorithm.

, who dares to change the questions? Therefore, they often copy the original questions from the required readings for mathematics subjects. Then the candidates memorize the answers, and the one who memorizes more wins.

Then when I met Su You, he was not really talented and learned, but all of them were blinded.

Su You didn't think about his trouble at all: "Oops, the weapons supervisor has raided all the talented people in the capital. What if the Third Division, Si Tianjian, and Hequ Division all have these things?"

Lu Huiqing frowned: "The questions in Mingshu Science are different from those of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in these yamen, so it's not a big problem. However, Your Majesty, scholars from all over the country have not been trained in science and engineering. It is a bit unfair to do this."

Su You was immediately dissatisfied: "In the Chengjia printing bookshop, there are "Preliminaries of Arithmetic", "Preliminary Geometry", "Sorting of Symbols", "Examination of Arithmetic Classics in the Past Dynasties", "Nine Chapters", "Details of Zhushu Zong", and so on.

Arithmetic books, of varying degrees of difficulty, are all sitting there gathering dust!”

"I'm not very knowledgeable, so I blame me for making the questions too difficult?! How come my family members from the royal family know it all? Are they all extremely smart?"

He turned to Zhao Xu and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, I have to beat the Dengwen drum for this. I, I am really unjust -"

Zhao Xu was really angry, but now the target of his anger had been transferred: "Ignorant people have the nerve to tarnish the salary of the imperial court! When I go back, I will be punished!"

Lu Huiqing cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not fully understood yet. These are just speculations on our part."

Zhao Xu was still angry: "Dengwen drum is a tool to cry out grievances. Taizu has the system. When Dengwen drum sounds, the emperor must stop all official duties and immediately review the case. How can he beat it randomly?"

Lu Huiqing said calmly: "At the time of Taizu, Mou Hui, a citizen of Bianjing, was playing drums. Taizu personally summoned him. After questioning, he found that he had lost a pig and went to the emperor to cry out."

Su You was dumbfounded. In his impression, anyone who beat the drum would be arrested and beaten thirty times before speaking. Is the imperial family of the Song Dynasty really so close to the people?

Looking at Su You's look, Lu Huiqing knew that he didn't understand the allusion, and felt a little proud: "Taizu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he said to the minister: 'He lost his pig, where can I find it?' However, he did not blame Mou Hui.

, but gave him a thousand dollars."

"In the sixth year of Emperor Taizu's founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Shilian, the failed candidate, beat the Dengwen drum and sued Li Fang, the current examiner, for making an improper choice. Taizu was furious, and at Xu Shilian's request, he appointed himself examiner and re-examined the candidates in Jiangwu Hall, as the 'Palace Examination'

'The beginning."

"In the third year of Chunhua, Emperor Taizong, because there were always people who complained about the unfairness of the school examination, Su Yijian was ordered to take charge of the examination and no longer returned to his residence, Chigongyuan. He declined the request, which was later made a rule, and it was named '

Lock the courtyard'."

"Renzong once asked Yan Shu and others to review the submissions submitted to Dengwenguyuan, but he was dissuaded by the admonisher Fan Xi: 'If you can't make a decision by reading it, who is willing to speak to your majesty personally?'"

"Your Majesty, this is a matter of promoting virtue in our court. The election is also a ceremony to recruit talents, so we must be cautious. Even if you are bright and rich, this is the meaning."

Su You secretly praised you, Lu Huiqing, and said with a cupped hand: "Your Majesty, I have a clear conscience. I am not afraid of questioning. I always have misunderstandings. Just expose them."

After that, he added: "I confessed to Your Majesty, and I gave up after judging the papers. I really didn't know that the royal family members did so well in the exam this time. It shows that there are still many talents in the family members. I wish to express my congratulations to Your Majesty."
