Three Kingdoms: I Am Not an Ant Thief Chapter 695, exam begins
Xiangkai found that both of them disagreed with his plan and said anxiously: "This is the best opportunity for our Taoist family. If we can't replace Confucianism now, I'm afraid there will never be such an opportunity again in the future."
He is already over 80 this year, and his life span is rare in the past seventy years. Xiangkai has only a few years left to live, so he wants to see Taoism revived in the land of Daqian.
Zuo Ci said calmly: "Brother Taoist, I'm afraid that if you put us all in the normal college, the governor will kick us out of Jidu. The governor is the founder of the country. He can watch you and put all the Taoists in our country." Place me in the Normal College! It will become the academy that cultivates my Taoist talents!"
Then he said sadly: "How could Brother Tao be so unwise? You can't see such a simple thing!"
Yu Jiku advised: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Now our Taoist school has such a good foundation. If the Taoist brother really wants to train disciples, he can establish an academy in his own name. The Taoist brother of this normal college still has to go to sea." Nai Baichuan, people from various schools can become teachers here, so that my Taoism will not be conspicuous among them."
Both friends rejected Xiangkai's proposal, so he had no choice but to give up.
Then Xiangkai could only find some of his old friends in Confucianism and ask them to recommend some teachers.
On this day, as soon as the sky dawned and the white belly appeared in the east, the thistles became lively.
Countless scholars packed their clothes and prepared to get up and come to the examination room!
Pang Degong had high hopes for these people and said: "You have been preparing for several months. Now it is time to test your results. I hope you will win the exam and come back with a passing grade!"
Hundreds of people saluted Mr. Pang and said, "No!" and then started to rush to the examination room.
Huang Yancheng looked at the leaving Jingzhou scholars and said helplessly: "I really don't know how many years they will be able to pass the exam. What will happen if they fail?"
Sima Jing said: "It all depends on one's luck. In troubled times, people are lucky to be able to preserve their families. Compared to the noble families in the Central Plains, we are already lucky."
Then he continued: "Xiangkai recently found us and said that Da Qian plans to establish a normal college to build 10,000 primary schools within 10 years and accumulate talents. He wants to invite us to teach disciples and train teachers in the normal college."
Pang Degong was surprised and said: "Lei Gong is so courageous, but Lei Gong is not worried about the appearance of so many scholars. How will he arrange these people? It is impossible to ask these scholars to become dock workers, right?"
Learning leads to excellence in officialdom. The reason why the nobles of the Han Dynasty blocked knowledge was essentially to reduce their competitors. After all, the number of officials in a court was limited and could not expand indefinitely.
Even if 100 people graduate from 10,000 primary schools every year, this is still 1 million students who are literate. In this era, scholars are valuable because they are rare in number and it costs a lot to train them.
But like Lei Gong, it is possible to train scholars on a large scale, but where are there so many positions for these scholars to find employment? It is impossible for millions of people to flock to the officialdom at the same time. It is impossible for these people to study for a few years. If you go to the dock to work as a worker or return to the countryside to be a farmer, I'm afraid not many students would be willing to do this.
Sima Jing said: "Judging from what Lei Gong said before, I'm afraid he really thinks this way. He believes that scholars are the best people to be farmers and craftsmen. Only the ability to read and write can also accumulate experience. , learn an industry and become the top craftsman.
I'm afraid Lei Gong's ambition is greater than we think. He plans to make every Dagan person a scholar, and then put scholars into all walks of life in Dagan. In Lei Gong's words, this is to improve the development of productivity. .
Just look at this exam, it is said that it recruits students from the University of Mechanical Engineering, but it is not an exaggeration for me to say that I am a blacksmith, but there are still so many people flocking to the exam, and the scholars trained by Daqian themselves also enter in large numbers. We have become skilled workers in factories all over the country, so the scholars in our eyes are different from the scholars in Lei Gong's eyes. We study to report to the country and bring peace to the people, while studying in Daqian is just to learn skills better and find a good job. "
The three of them were speechless. If Lei Gong continues to do this, scholars will be worthless in the future.
"Brother Kong Ming, sister-in-law is here!" Pu Yuan found Zhuge Liang and his wife before the exam started. "I have rented a carriage. We can use it to go to the examination room!"
Kong Ming and Huang Yueying nodded and boarded Pu Yuan's carriage!
Brother Pu Yuan: "Sister-in-law, the sewing machine you made is too troublesome to use with my hands. Why don't you learn how to make a threshing machine, make a crank pedal, and use your feet to generate force, so that you have a stable source of power. Two Your hands can be freed to hold down the cloth!"
Only since the last time Kong Ming visited Pu Yuan to make up lessons, Pu Yuan recognized Zhuge Liang as a friend and often came to Zhuge Liang's home. It was during this process that Pu Yuan discovered that Huang Yueying wanted to make a sewing machine, so he He volunteered to help and solved many problems for Huang Yueying. Moreover, they also understood that although Pu Yuan looked mature, he was younger than Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying. He simply made Zhuge Liang his elder brother!
Huang Yueying's eyes lit up after hearing this. She has never solved the power problem. The only way she can think of is for one person to shake the power device to provide power and another person to sew the clothes, but this is very troublesome.
"How do you do the cranks and pedals?"
Although threshing machines have been popularized in thousands of households in Daqian, they are still relatively rare in the Jingzhou area. After all, Liu Bei wanted to arm his army with all his little steel, and Huang Yueying had always been a young lady from a wealthy family. I have never seen what a threshing machine looks like.
Urahara found a piece of paper and drew a simple diagram for Huang Yueying to disconnect from the computer. When Wang Yueying saw it, he felt like he had found a treasure. If it weren't for the exam that was about to take place now, he would have wanted to go back to his family and put all the ideas in his mind together. Display it.
Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "Brother Pu, the exam is about to come, and you are still thinking about the sewing machine. Aren't you worried about not passing the exam?"
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
Pu Yuan smiled and said: "What are you worried about? There are so many people, I won't be able to pass the exam anyway, I might as well help my sister-in-law solve the problem of the sewing machine!"
Zhuge Liang gave him extra classes, but he failed too much in basics. Pu Yuan had a hard time passing the simulated exam several times. Knowing that there were tens of thousands of candidates vying for the 1,000 places, Pu Yuan looked away, knowing that he would not pass the exam.
Up.
Then he smiled and said: "I would like to wish my brother and sister-in-law that they can rely on the University of Mechanical Engineering!"
On the other side, wealthy aristocrats from Yangzhou also gathered together and walked to the examination room in the suburbs.
Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu beside him: "Gong Jin, Zhongmou and the others will be left to you."
This time, Sun Ce's whole family also came to Jidu. The Sun family was also a powerful local in Yangzhou, so they were forced to move out of Yangzhou. This time, Sun Quan and Sun Yi came to take the exam!
Sun Quan and Sun Yi felt a little uneasy when they saw the huge crowd around them. Before coming to Jidu, they were very confident about this exam. But when they really came to Jidu, they realized that there are so many heroes in the world. This time the exam alone was
There are about 30,000 people, and the ratio of thirty to one makes many poor students lose the courage to take the exam!
They are also worried about what they will do if they fail the exam this time.
Losing face is a small matter, but bringing the family down is a big deal. The Sun family is not a famous family. The real rise can only be counted from Sun Jian. A family with a low background like theirs is most likely to decline when the world changes!
Zhou Yudan said calmly: "Zhongmou and the others have a relatively solid foundation. Plus I have made up for them during this period, so I think they won't do too badly in the exam! And I also heard that because there are so many people coming to take the exam this time, the government also intends to let go."
There are restrictions on admissions. The admission rate will be higher than we thought!”
Different from following Sun Ce to conquer the world in history, in this world, Zhou Yu discovered very early that the power of Da Qian was not something that the divided Han could withstand, so he gave up the idea of serving as an official in the Han, and instead kept
His hometown became a powerful force, and he even persuaded Sun Ce to break away from the Han Dynasty and wait for the opportunity.
It's a pity that Zhou Yu didn't expect that even if Lei Gong conquered the world, he would not change Daqian's policy towards the powerful nobles.
His Zhou family has been a long-standing official, his grandfather Zhou Jing, his uncle Zhou Zhong, all officials to Taiwei. Although they are not the top nobles, they are not far behind. They are severely suppressed by the Great Qian Dynasty, so Zhou Yu for the sake of the family
If we can continue, we can only bring the Zhou family to Jidu. This exam is also extremely important to the Zhou family!
Lu Su, who was following Zhou Yu, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw such a huge crowd: "There are so many heroes in the world!"
Lu Su didn't have Zhou Yu's confidence. His general test scores were about 80 points. When it came to taking the exam, he didn't know if he could pass it!
Although Zhou Yu in this world did not borrow food and grass from Lu Su, the two parties still became good friends. Lu Su was also affected by the oppressive nobles and had to come to Jidu to make a living. This can be seen from the food and grass left in his family.
The total amount is only 6,000 shi. It is not even considered to be the lowest family member, but at most it is a small local tycoon.
Not many members of the family were officials in the Han Dynasty. Lu Su's reputation was earned by donating a large amount of money and selling land to help the poor.
Who would have thought that the big man collapsed at the first sign of collapse, and the fame he earned at the beginning became Lu Su's talisman. Originally, an ordinary small wealthy family only wanted to share the land and move their families to other counties, but because of Lu Su's Su's reputation was so great that Fan Xian thought highly of Lu Su and really thought that the Lu family was considered a powerful family in Yangzhou, so he drove the Lu family out of Yangzhou as well.
Although everyone has always known that there will be a lot of people coming to the exam this time, tens of thousands of people are scattered among the entire population of millions. , boundless fear would well up in my heart. So even Lu Su didn’t have the confidence to pass the exam.
Soon these candidates came to the examination room, which was a large military camp outside Jidu that could accommodate 50,000 soldiers. Now for the examination, Xu Wei sent people to simply build an examination room here and sent a battalion of soldiers. Maintain order!
Groups of fully armed soldiers lined up, and Sun Ce became nervous when he saw them. Unlike other scholars who only thought these soldiers were elite, Sun Ce had personally led an army to fight against the elite.
Zhou Yu exclaimed: "These are the elites of Daqian. No wonder they were able to pacify all the princes in more than ten years."
Sun Ce smiled bitterly and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of such troops in Dagan. On the battlefield they came to, they had high morale, well-equipped, and fearless death. At the beginning, there were not many elites in the Han army who could not defeat Dagan." Army, we have always relied on city walls for defense. If we take the initiative to fight in the field with Da Gan Army, I am afraid that Da Gan Army will pacify the world ten years earlier!"
Unlike the arrogant little bully in history, in this world Sun Ce was beaten first by Liu Bei and then by Xu Wei, and his arrogance has long since been knocked out!
Then he saw a person in the middle of the gate of the military camp and was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Lei Gong, you are actually here too!"
Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked curiously in the direction Sun Ce was looking and asked, "Is the one in the middle the ruler of Daqian?"
Sun Ce nodded and said: "I met Lei Gong back then, it was him. It seems that Lei Gong from the Mechanical University really takes it seriously and actually came to be the invigilator in person!"
Sun Yi looked over curiously and said: "This is the rule of Da Qian. It looks ordinary and not too tall and powerful. How did he become the most famous general in the world!"
Sun Yi inherited Sun Jian's bravery, he was tall and powerful, and when he put on his armor, he was a powerful general who could defeat ten thousand enemies! In his opinion, the best general in the world should be a powerful general who could defeat hundreds of people with one enemy, but he did not expect that Xu Wei is actually an ordinary seven-foot man!
To ordinary people, a seven-foot man is considered tall, but for a general, a seven-foot body is a bit too short.
Sun Ce smiled bitterly and said: "It is impossible for Guangyong Meng to become the best general in the world. As far as I know, Lei Gong rarely appears at the forefront of the war, but he has a strategy. When Dagan defeated Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops, it was a miracle. It was the navy that attacked Cao Cao's hinterland. When he attacked Yizhou a few years ago, Lei Gong still used this strategy to completely capture Chengdu and capture His Majesty, causing the general's hundreds of thousands of troops to collapse. Before Lei Gong sent troops, who could I can imagine that on the plateau, we can actually send troops to Yizhou! Such a clever plan and well-trained soldiers are the guarantee that Lei Gong will be invincible in battle!"
At this moment, drums sounded in the military camp, which aroused everyone's thoughts!
Then an invigilator shouted loudly with a tin trumpet: "Each candidate, please go to the corresponding examination room in an orderly manner. For the first Chinese test, all candidates are not allowed to bring anything other than pen and ink. No whispering is allowed in the examination room.
Anyone found to have violated the rules of the examination room will be disqualified!"
As the invigilator finished speaking, the gate to the camp opened, and all the candidates found their seats according to their numbers.
