"Don't laugh at me when I sleep drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from war in ancient times? This general is indeed not so easy to be a general. This peaceful world is exchanged for countless soldiers with their lives, so you should cherish it.

Your Majesty is proficient in administration and seeking development. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, he has been seeking talents. As long as scholars have some skills, they can become officials.

And our group of people have greater ideals, to cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country and pacify the world. Since we are here today, we are here for the people of the world!

So what Brother Li said just now makes sense, although it is difficult to be a general, he cannot be without a general. Otherwise, who will guard the frontier, and how can we sit here and talk about it!"

As Guo Hao spoke, he became a little preaching. Lu Ren and Long Tao were a little impatient, but Li Su nodded seriously.

"Although we are literati, if the country needs it, we can also serve the country. So what if a real man stands tall and dies on the battlefield!

Thinking about Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang back then, weren’t they all literati? They couldn’t go into battle to kill the enemy, but they still passed down through the ages!”

Li Su is knowledgeable and patriotic. Guo Hao appreciates this very much, but the other two didn't think about it.

"You may not know that even a general is not so easy to be a general now. Not only do you have to know martial arts, but you also have to read and read and read, and be familiar with military tactics.

If there is really a war, the court will definitely send professionals to it and will not let us literati take action. Don't worry."

As the few people chatted, it was already late at night. Zhao Kuangyin led his soldiers to patrol and found that the tent was still on, so he came over to take a look.

As a result, when he lifted the curtain, Guo Hao was sitting on a bed talking, while the other three listened attentively.

A guard was about to step forward, but was stopped by Zhao Kuangyin. He listened carefully to what Guo Hao said, as if he had heard Zhuge Liang's name.

"That's right, Sima Yi was suspicious by nature. When he saw Zhuge Liang sitting alone on the city gate, he was so nervous that he was playing the piano and music. The city gate was opened under the city. Sima Yi thought that Zhuge Liang would be ambushed, but he turned around and left..."

Speaking of this, Guo Hao felt someone behind him, so he looked back. Guo Hao shook his head slightly at Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin retreated directly.

"Okay, it's still early, so let's talk about it today. If you have the chance, I'll go out for a little more convenience."

Although the three of them wanted to listen to this, it was not the time to listen to books. They had to prepare for the exam tomorrow, so they all went to bed.

Guo Hao walked out of the tent, Zhao Kuangyin was waiting not far away, and after saluting, he asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"There are many southern scholars coming this time, and I'm a little worried. There are still some stubborn forces in the Later Shu and Southern Tang. This time, you must be careful to get in with meticulous actions."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will watch them personally. This time, I will mobilize a thousand soldiers and patrol the city in turn. If there is any situation, I will deal with it as soon as possible. I will just do it in a few detailed works and I will not be able to make any big waves."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Although you can't make a big wave, you still have few troubles. If you find a suspicious person and catch him directly, you can't destroy the harmonious atmosphere that has finally been created!"

"Abide by the order!"

Guo Hao patted Zhao Kuangyin on the shoulder, really went to put some water, and then returned to the tent. When Li Hui came over, he would sleep here tonight.

Early the next morning, the students had breakfast and gathered in front of the palace, waiting for the Ministry of Rites officials to check and enter the examination room.

Exams with more than 1,000 people were rare before the Ming and Qing dynasties. The troops in the palace doubled, and Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi were on duty and were responsible for public security work.

Guo Hao returned to the palace, Lu Duosun and Wang Pu had already prepared the exam questions. After Guo Hao checked that there were no problems, he announced that the exam began.

This scientific examination examined a total of four subjects, namely scriptures, poetry, songs, mathematics, and physics, which are astronomy, geophysics, physics, and chemistry.

The number of questions is very large, so I will definitely not finish the exam in one day, so I only take one subject a day. After the exam, I will go back and take a day off and then go to the second subject.

There was no problem with the first scriptures and essays in the north and south, and the scholars from both sides were well prepared, but the poems and songs in the second session were very difficult.

When the third session came, there was a lot of wail in the examination room. Northern scholars were better. They had these contents in the scientific examinations in recent years, and they were prepared.

But the Southern scholars were in short supply. Guo Hao asked all the questions at elementary school level, but in their opinion, mathematics was more difficult than asking them to memorize.

When Guo Hao was walking in the examination room, many people scratched their heads and the princes laughed in the distance. They had a plenary meeting of questions of this level a few years ago.

Guo Hao became more and more disappointed the more he read it. The math level of the Song Dynasty was still too poor, and mathematics was the basis of all sciences. If mathematics was not good, it would be difficult for physics and chemistry.

After looking around, he didn't find any talent. Wang Pu stood behind him and smiled bitterly. He also knew the level of this group of people. In fact, there was no need for the last two exams, but Guo Hao insisted on taking the exam, just to give it a try and see if there were any surprises.

After the third exam, the camp was quiet and many students were hit. Some even wanted to give up and prepare to leave.

"Let's go, the exam is not over yet. You can't leave. If anyone leaves, you will not be allowed to take another exam within three years!"

The soldiers in the camp stopped the students, and some students stood up and said, "I can't even know a single question for today's exam. Why am I still staying here this time?

I thought it was a simple arithmetic, but I didn’t expect it to be such a difficult problem, especially the Nine-Nine-Daily Proof. I only wrote a few of them. This time I will definitely have no chance."

"That's right, just those contents, let alone three years, I may not learn it in my life. I originally wanted to come to Bianliang to try my luck, but now it seems that I'd better be a minor official!"

"Be a minor official? Why? Who asked him to come up with those questions? I don't believe that the current officials in the court can do it!

We came from the south all the way, but when we encountered such a test question, it was obvious that we were deliberately making things difficult for us. What else should we do?”

At first, the students just complained, but as they were talking, something was wrong. Someone started to set the pace, but all the students followed suit. It seemed that this exam really made them disgusted.

"What are you all arguing about? This is Bianliang, not your family. The exam has not ended, and no one is allowed to leave!"

At the critical moment, Zhao Kuangyin stood up. Some people knew him, but more people didn't know him.

"Who are you? Why don't you let us go!"

Zhao Kuangyin was about to speak when he came in alone from outside the camp, with a young man following behind him.

"Everyone, stop arguing. I am the chief examiner of this time, Lu Duosun. Your Majesty heard your voice. Your Majesty gave an order to say that the last two exams are additional questions, and it doesn't matter if you don't know. If you answer correctly, you will get points, and if you answer wrong, you will not deduct points.

Think about it, you can't even have so many people. Do you want none of the imperial court? Don't be deceived by others? If you leave now, will it be cheaper for some people?"

After saying that, Lu Duoxun nodded to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and several soldiers caught the person who had just led the rhythm.

Everyone then came to the savor, yes, no one would, what are they afraid of? The court spent so much effort to hold the exam, it was impossible for anyone to want it.

"Let me go, why do you catch me!"

"Why? Let's talk about it with me first, take it away!"

The remaining students were honest by killing the chicken in this way. They almost forgot who had the final say here. Now the person sitting on the throne is not a soft persimmon.

When the scene became quiet, Lu Duosun dismounted and invited the boy behind him to come forward. Looking at the hundreds of students, the boy was a little nervous. The boy was no one else, but Guo Hao's youngest son Guo Zhiyu.

"Ahem, everyone...sir, I am Guo Zhiyu. My father asked me to me recite the multiplication formula. Listen to me.

One gets one, one gets two, two gets four, two gets six..."

The multiplication formulas that were found in elementary schools in later generations are now a masterpiece of knowledge. Guo Hao's children received comprehensive education since childhood, so they know more than these scholars.

When Guo Zhiyao finished memorizing, the people at the scene were stunned. Zhao Kuangyin sneered. He always claimed to be a military general, so he looked down on literati. However, Guo Hao always forced them to study, but it was not useless.
