Chapter 65 Not bad precisely because he is still a child
Chapter 65 Yes, just because he is still a child... (please collect and vote)
Li Langzhong turned his head and glanced at Chen Shilang with some surprise. He thought that the other party was trying to compare himself, so he immediately said without thinking.
"The Analects of Confucius is a good one, and it should be considered top-notch.
However, its meaning is really difficult for the subordinates to understand, and it is full of errors and omissions.
Like this story about Zheng Bo and Duan Yuyan, he explained it so hard that it’s hard to watch..."
At this moment, I heard Shilang Chen coughing slightly behind me, and felt the heavy strength on my shoulders.
Li Langzhong blinked and changed his tone slightly.
"However, according to the opinion of the lower official, this scholar must be too young and has never read "Spring and Autumn".
But being able to interpret the true meaning by relying on words alone is indeed a talent worthy of development."
"It makes sense." Chen Shilang's pleased voice sounded behind him as expected.
Over there, Wu Shangshu was also strolling around, admiring the answer sheets of the candidates.
"Sheng Yuan, will it appear..."
But when I think about it carefully, I have to admit that excessive land annexation can indeed be restricted.
"It has only been three years since he was enlightened. Doesn't that mean that this boy is a rare child prodigy in the world?"
If there really are no articles comparable to those two articles on policy questions, why should Gao Zhang not be judged as a provincial governor based on these two masterpieces?"
But for Wu Shangshu, an important court minister who cared about the country and the people, no matter how gorgeous his writing was, what was the use?
When selecting scholars, we should select those who can manage the world and benefit the people, rather than a bunch of nerds who just read from the book.
"However, these two policy questions may appear to be crudely written on the surface, but they are actually written with great skill and clumsiness.
And it also allows the people who have lost their land to continue to rely on the big landowners for survival."
This can also be regarded as the only institutional reform in the Song Dynasty that conservatives and reformers reached a consensus.
For almost a day, the two of them strolled around and browsed, but they really didn't see any more exciting articles than Gao Zhang's two policy questions.
Only then will you know how precious these two strategies are."
The language is simple, the writing is fresh and straightforward, and like a sharp knife, it goes straight to the root of the problem.
"Shang Shu, from what I see, I actually feel that the leader of the provincial examination in Jinke might be a little different."
"Our Song Dynasty has been suffering from long-standing shortcomings. Redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses are major headaches for all the princes in the court.
This is why, since the reform of the imperial examination system in the Song Dynasty, no matter how many times the old and new parties went back and forth.
Wu Shangshu laughed happily, stroking his thick beard, and spoke leisurely.
"Both of us have seen his calligraphy before. He is so experienced and proficient in using it that I am afraid he will not be able to write for more than ten years.
Chen Shilang couldn't help but take a second look at Mr. Li. He was not bad, he was a very outstanding middle-aged talent with great potential.
In fact, it is far superior to these strategies and questions that quote scriptures throughout the article but do not have their own ideas and methods to solve the problem.
"Any one of his two policy articles would be enough to embarrass the princes who sit in the court and eat nothing."
The two policy questions written by Gao Zhang's boy are both so wonderful in terms of their core. The only thing lacking is the writing.
"His two policy questions were highly praised by Wu Shangshu, and I also felt that they were good strategies for managing the world and benefiting the people.
Chen Shilang, who was also aware of strange things like officials granting thin golden bodies to each other in dreams, was stunned for a short while before speaking in a low voice.
"If you know that the author of this policy question is an eight-year-old child who has only been enlightened for three years.
But the whole article is empty and full of empty talk, full of lies..."
The more I read, the more I felt the quality of Gao Zhang's strategy.
"In our dynasty, Yan Shu, Duke Xian of the Yuan Dynasty, achieved the rank of 14th Jinshi, which is also a good story for the world.
"Since the reign of Renzong, the Song Dynasty has been deteriorating, and it will be difficult to regain its former glory...
"What Mr. Li said is very much what I meant, but there is something I think I should tell you, Mr. Li."
Hearing this, Mr. Li smiled confidently and pointed like a sword, drawing on the two policy questions.
It is an enjoyable read, and it is indeed a thought-provoking and rare masterpiece. Even if it is considered to be the best, it would not be an exaggeration.”
"If this is the case, then it is not an exaggeration to choose a superior one."
"As for his desire to solve the refugee problem, he actually found another way and thought of the Xiang Army.
In recent years, the court has been full of treacherous and sycophants, and it is difficult to find loyal ministers in the court.
"Of course, this is just the official's own biased opinion. I would like to ask Mr. Chen to correct it."
Seeing how well the first-time examiner was doing, Chen Shilang patted his subordinate on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then wandered off to another place.
"Shilang Chen really asked the right person. Judging from the papers I read, many of the candidates were very talented in writing and used beautiful words.
However, regarding the reform of the imperial examination, the rule has changed from using poems and poems to judge the superior to the inferior in the past, and it has not changed since then.
"How powerful the Xiang army is, I don't need to say anything about it, but if they are used to dig canals and build roads..."
However, until all candidates’ answer sheets have been passed twice or three times, everything can only be hidden in the heart...
Having said this, Wu Shangshu's voice became deeper and deeper.
Seeing Wu Zhizhong, who was highly respected and highly respected in the court, he dared to be tough even when faced with the treacherous prime minister Cai Jing, without any hint of cowardice.
Wu Shangshu and Chen Shilang were sitting in a small small room, drinking tea and resting, talking in low voices.
"What I value the most is the second policy question he wrote. It's so easy to make people's scalp numb with one move.
I wonder what Mr. Li thinks?"
Incorporate the refugees into the Xiang army and use merit in exchange for relief. This method is simply a stroke of genius..."
#####
In the end, this first-evaluation examiner, who was very considerate and knew how to figure out the boss's feelings, gave an excellent evaluation.
I heard Chen Shilang's half-joking and half-serious remarks.
After a passionate and impassioned speech, Mr. Li showed a very humble expression.
"Young talents have existed since ancient times. My husband Xiang Luo became the teacher of the saints at the age of seven, and Gan Luo became the prime minister at the age of twelve. At the age of fourteen, Wang Bo wrote the unparalleled "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng"..."
This Gao Zhang made me see an extremely rare opportunity."
His policy can not only solve the problem of refugees, but also give the Xiang army, which the country has spent money and food to raise, a place to use."
It has only been a few months since the thin gold body, which was originally created by the official family, was completed. Such miraculous things are enough to prove that this son is absolutely extraordinary."
Mr. Li was really frightened. He opened his eyes in disbelief and turned to Mr. Chen.
Hearing him chatting in front of him, it was obvious that he had already made up his mind and intended to make Gao Zhang a provincial leader.
Chen Shilang had a huge head. Facing his highly respected immediate boss, he couldn't help but remind him.
"But he is only an eleven-year-old child."
"Yes, it's because he is still a child, only eleven years old." Wu Shangshu said with great certainty.
