Chapter 338 The youth genius class was established, Zhou Yu airborne the commander of the Yuanyang Army!
Wancheng, Yunlufang, Roadside Inn.
"Quick! Rush forward and arrest them all."
"Everyone, follow up!"
"..."
Ninghuafang, roadside inn.
"According to the order, no one will be left alive."
"Fuck me!"
"..."
Based on Guo Jia's intelligence, Man Chong led his troops to attack with precision.
All the merchants who organized the teachings of Confucian classics were arrested, and no one was left.
In just half a day, all the heads of major education and training institutions in Wancheng were arrested by Man Chong.
At this moment, the county government.
Man Chong sat at the head of the palace, while a group of merchants below him stood timidly in the hall.
The reputation of Wancheng Lingman, who favored cruel officials, has been around for a long time, and no one knows about it.
When his cold eyes swept across the merchants, each of them was trembling with fear, as if he had put a knife on their necks.
However, even so, some merchants still boldly said: "May I ask the county magistrate, what crime have we committed? Why do you want to arrest us? Please give me an explanation, otherwise we will not be convinced!"
All the merchants echoed:
"That's right! I can't believe it."
"What crime have we committed? To end up like this!"
"This is unfair!"
"..."
However......
Faced with the commotion of the merchants in the hall, Man Chong just snorted coldly, and his murderous intent was revealed: "You privately organized candidates and scholars to train for the imperial examination. This is deliberately destroying the imperial examination regulations. Shouldn't we be arrested? ?”
A tall businessman boldly said: "Didn't the imperial court expect the candidates to be fully prepared for the examination? We are really cultivating talents for the imperial court. Are we deliberately sabotaging the imperial examination regulations?"
"That's right!"
Someone else echoed: "The so-called businessmen are buying and selling! If there is no buying, how can we sell? We only exist to meet the needs of candidates and scholars and earn a meager commission."
"This matter is essentially the same as the sale of livestock, farming, renting houses, etc. in the Sadhu Hui. Is it possible that the Sadhu Hui has also violated the court's charter? Does the imperial court want to ban the Sadhu Hui?"
"The county minister is well-known for his fairness and justice. We do not ask for forgiveness. We only hope that the county minister can uphold justice and distinguish right from wrong. Otherwise, we will not be convinced!"
Two people took the lead in reasoning, and the group of merchants behind them became more energetic and started talking:
"That's right! We must uphold justice, otherwise we will not be convinced."
"You're right, what we do is the same as that of the Chan Hui."
"Since they can live in peace and harmony, how come we have become the thieves who ruined the imperial examinations!"
"I can't bear to wait!"
"Not convinced!"
"..."
Suddenly, the merchants started shouting.
But for Man Chong, this matter has long been accustomed to it, and it is not surprising.
These businessmen are much more qualified than those scoundrels and jokers.
Therefore, Man Chong was not afraid at all. There was a loud bang and the whole hall of merchants was silent, and there was no sound.
"It's true that a businessman is a traitor!"
Man Chong's momentum became even stronger. Although his voice was slow, it was sonorous, powerful and resounding. Coupled with his stern eyes and awe-inspiring righteousness, he suppressed the merchants all over the hall in an instant, making them breathless.
immediately!
He took out Guo Jia's information from his arms, browsed through it, and then raised his eyes to scan the merchants. His eyes were like swords, murderous and terrifying:
"Which one of you is Zhang De?" Man Chong asked coldly.
"That's the villain!" The most vicious person who just shouted was this person.
"snort!"
Man Chong snorted coldly, glanced at the other party with his bright eyes, and spoke domineeringly: "The Sadhui is a middleman. Buyers and sellers can negotiate freely. The Sadhui will not interfere and only earns commission."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Leasing a venue, buying out a great scholar, setting prices privately, making false propaganda, and implying manipulation of the market, do you dare to say that it is the same as a Taoist society? It is simply unreasonable!"
"Zhang De!"
Man Chong's stern eyes fell on him: "Do you know why I called you?"
Zhang De shook his head, leaned over and held his hands in his hands: "I don't know, I don't know."
Man Chong stared at the man angrily, with a surge of hatred: "You are ashamed of the word 'virtue'. You should not be called Zhang De, but should be called immoral, immoral, immoral, and bad virtue!"
Man Chongde's voice became louder and louder. Every word was like a sharp sword, piercing people's hearts. Zhang De, who was scolding him, was hanging his head, his face was dull, and he was speechless. He wished he could find a place to hide in.
Go in.
Not only him, but all the merchants in the palace were red-eyed and ashamed, because not only Zhang De was like this, but they were also the same. On the surface, Man Chong was scolding Zhang De, but in fact, all the merchants in the palace were among them.
"Shang is not guilty, but the premise is..."
"We must not destroy the great cause of the imperial court!"
Immediately, Man Chong stopped scolding, turned to look at the merchants in the palace, and lectured coldly: "The imperial court uses examinations to select scholars, and the purpose is to select real talents for the imperial court, rather than fake talents who memorize by rote."
"You used despicable means to steal the test questions from the imperial government's public transportation department, and then found the answers to them by talented scholars, and sold them at a high price. On the surface, you were selling test questions, but in fact, how is it any different from selling officials to win titles?"
"At a small scale, you are destroying the imperial examination regulations. At a larger scale, you are digging into the foundation of the imperial court. If you are not brought to justice, in the long run, it will be difficult for the imperial court to obtain scholars through examinations.
Fair talk!"
As for this, all the merchants in the palace remained silent. They were all so ashamed that they did not dare to raise their heads, and they were trembling with timidity. They already realized that they had offended the emperor Ni Lin.
Selling an official position and getting a title!
What a huge crime this was, and it was actually placed on their heads.
Man Chong raised his hands to the sky and shouted loudly: "This is your Majesty's personal order. You are using the imperial examinations for personal gain and deliberately destroying the fairness of the examinations. This is a heinous crime and must be severely punished."
"All of you are guilty of this crime. The evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied. This county has pronounced a verdict that all income will be confiscated and fined 50,000 yuan. The leader will be sentenced to three years in prison!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the merchants in the palace were in an uproar. They were all frightened and frightened, and their expressions suddenly changed:
"Your Majesty, the profit we made is less than 50,000 yuan, how can we pay the penalty?"
"We hope that the court will show mercy even after we are convicted!"
"Three years in prison? This villain has never known such a punishment!"
"We are willing to give everything we have in exchange for a way out, and we hope that the imperial court will show mercy."
"..."
Although Man Chong knew that the punishment was a bit severe, he was afraid that it would be difficult to ward off evil spirits if he did not use heavy punishments to clear the way.
It is a national policy for the imperial court to take examinations to obtain scholars, and there is absolutely no room for outsiders who even have the slightest intention of coveting them.
Since there is a punishment, it will be punished to the point of bankruptcy, and no one will dare to kidnap the education and training students!
"Someone is coming!"
Man Chong, whose heart was as solid as stone, ignored him and shouted loudly: "Put this group of merchants in jail without any mistakes."
The county soldiers in the palace raised their hands and responded: "Here."
The next second, the sound in the palace resounded and lingered for a long time:
“I beg the county magistrate to show mercy beyond the law!”
"We are aware of our guilt and beg the county magistrate to show mercy!"
"..."
****
A few days later.
The examination for the Junior Gifted Class is held at the Public Transport Department.
Hundreds of young talents who passed the preliminary selection entered the office and took their seats according to their names.
Pens, ink, paper and inkstones were all ready, and there were several people in charge of the examination to ensure fairness.
After Sima Hui read out the rules of the examination room, each person received a test paper and distributed it, and the examination officially began.
In the northeast corner, Zhuge Liang got the test paper. He did not rush to write down the answers, but roughly scanned the contents of the paper.
really!
As rumored, it covers everything from Confucian classics, art of war, investigation of objects, astronomy, geography, flowers, birds, fish, and insects, and even medicine, agriculture, etc. It is simply all-encompassing and exciting.
"The Youth Genius Class truly deserves its reputation."
Zhuge Liang scanned the test paper and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, his forehead was already sweating, and he couldn't help but feel terrified.
Breathe in!
Exhale!
...
Zhuge Liang tried to keep himself calm, and comforted himself: "I am only eleven years old this year. Maybe I will have a chance next year. I can just do everything I can and can do, and just try my best."
"That's right!"
Zhuge Liang nodded secretly: "Just try your best, why force it?"
With this thought, Zhuge Liang calmed down. He dipped his pen in ink and began to read and review the questions. He wrote down his truest answers on the scroll one by one.
Not far away from him, the thirteen-year-old Sima Yi had already begun to write furiously. The Confucian classics questions were ones he had already encountered, and it was not difficult to answer them at all.
The Art of War was one of his main topics. The answers were as smooth as flowing water without any hindrance. In less than a quarter of an hour, both major questions were solved.
but......
When Sima Yi came across the force analysis of machinery, he was confused and had no idea how to start writing.
When faced with the problem of two troops marching and chasing, Sima Yi thought hard and made various deductions, but still found it difficult to write.
There was only one question in his mind. In actual combat, how could such a pursuit problem exist? If he were the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he would definitely adopt other methods. How could he pursue it foolishly?
"kindness."
After pondering for a long time, Sima Yi finally concluded: "There is something wrong with this question!"
Hands up!
An invigilator had already come to greet him: "What's the matter with you?"
Sima Yi pointed to the question on the test paper: "This question is ridiculous!"
The invigilator sneered: "If you don't understand, just leave it blank. It won't be embarrassing."
Sima Yi was furious: "You..."
"Those who show disrespect to the examination room will be disqualified from the examination."
"I endure it!"
...
Seeing this scene, all the candidates dared to raise their opinions. They all bowed their heads and wrote, thinking hard.
In the middle of the examination room, Pang Tong solved several questions one after another.
Although these questions were different from the Public Transport Department examination questions, the essence was the same. Pang Tong wrote furiously and easily solved the problem of water warfare and crossing the river in one fell swoop!
call-
He took a long breath, raised his eyes and scanned the four directions. All the candidates were crouching down to write, all of them frowning. Some candidates were even sweating profusely, soaking their backs, and a sense of pride arose in their hearts.
Immediately.
Pang Tong did not dare to waste time and continued to solve the questions.
In a cone-shaped array, there is one person at the beginning, two at the next, and three at the next, all arranged in sequence, totaling ninety-nine columns. How many sergeants are there?
Pang Tong began to draw a simple diagram on papyrus, and he drew about thirty-three columns. There was not enough papyrus, and he was very anxious.
"this......"
Pang Tong secretly knew something was wrong, and he must not have the right method, otherwise how could he be like this?
Just like the previous Public Transport Department test questions, they seem complicated, but if you master the methods, they are nothing more than that.
You must not know the right method, and you need to study hard to get it right.
At the moment, Pang Tong held his breath and concentrated on reviewing the topic again, looking for its inner rules.
After a long time.
Pang Tong's eyes suddenly brightened.
If the people in the first row are included in the last row, the total number is one hundred;
Then put the two people from the second line into the second and last line, and add up to a hundred people;
And the three people who will be ranked again will be classified into the last column again, and they will still be a hundred people;
...
hiss-!
Pang Tong suddenly sat upright and grinned, already understanding what he meant.
At that moment, I calculated in my mind that if the first and last rows were put together, there would be a hundred people. Based on this calculation, it would be forty-nine, with only one row left, and this row of fifty people, for a total of four thousand nine hundred and fifty people.
"Wonderful!"
Pang Tong was very happy as he started writing.
In the southwest corner, the youngest Lu Xun is writing furiously with a pen, frowning and thinking.
Many of the contents were things he had never been exposed to before.
but......
He was not annoyed at all, but rather excited.
This test paper made him realize that there is not only the study of classics in the world, but also the study of things, arithmetic, and the art of war, which are full of profound meanings.
He writes very slowly, but extremely seriously. Every answer he gives is made after repeated deliberation. Although it may not be correct, it is the best answer he can give at his age.
Not far away from Lu Xun, Sun Quan frowned, put his pen on his chin, frowned, and stared at the test paper, unable to write for a long time.
Glancing at Lu Xun who was not far away from him, his pen kept shaking. Sun Quan felt even more uncomfortable. They were both young talents, how could the gap be so big?
In this world...
Can anyone really solve this kind of problem?
The young Sun Quan suffered an unprecedented blow, and his inner world collapsed at this moment!
Sima Hui, the chief examiner, looked at the young talents in the room, twirling his beard and smiling, very satisfied. Each of them will become a talented person in the Han Dynasty and will be the pillar of the country in the future.
.......
Before I knew it, two hours passed.
The assessment of the Junior Genius Class is over.
The test papers were put away and handed over to Sima Hui, Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and others for review, and finally submitted to His Majesty the Emperor.
At this moment, the emperor's palace, Wende Hall.
Liu Bian held the memorial, which was made into a table according to the content of the test questions and the names of the candidates. The score rate of each subject can be said to be clear at a glance and very clear.
At the same time, netizens in the live broadcast room once again exploded:
"Wucao! Sun Quan and Cao Ang only scored in Confucian classics and art of war, but were blank in other aspects. I really don't know how they survived those two hours. Seconds are like years, right?"
"Sun Quan's inner monologue: I'm sorry, I know all these questions separately, but I don't know them together. Can anyone tell me why?"
"Zhuge Liang can do it. He is clearly only eleven years old, but he actually got scores in six areas. Although it is not a perfect score, it has proven his strength."
"Little Zhuge is indeed good at it. He actually got 14 points out of 20 points in the object investigation, which is already over the passing line. He also got a high score of 18 points in water warfare and land warfare in the Art of War!"
"Pang Tong is a bit interesting. His results are actually better than those of little Zhuge. He got scores in eight areas, and two of them are full marks. It's simply unexpected."
"Nah! Sima Yi is pretty good too. He got full marks for Confucian classics and full marks for art of war. He is only two years older than little Zhuge, but he is actually better than Zhuge in these two aspects. Am I studying the fake Three Kingdoms?"
"Don't forget, Zhuge is already so good before he joins a famous teacher. Sima Yi's family education environment is so good, but he is not much better than little Zhuge!"
"..."
Netizens were talking a lot.
After a long time.
The voice of the Military Advisor Alliance then remembered: "Master Bian, the experts have entered all the forms into the intelligent program. This is their basic information."
"Judging from the current feedback, the strengths of these young geniuses are in Confucian classics, art of war, Han law, geography, etc., while their weaknesses are in the study of objects, geometry, number sequences, farming, animal husbandry, etc."
"In addition, those who can answer more than five items..."
"..."
Listening to the Military Advisor Alliance's analysis of the performance table, every detail was described very clearly from the whole to the part. It is not polite to say that the experts have successfully grasped the general situation of the students through this table.
"That's right!"
Liu Bianshen nodded in agreement: "It is indeed as analyzed by experts. After sorting it out in this way, I feel that the general abilities of these geniuses have been grasped in place. If we cooperate with the test papers, we can completely strengthen them in a targeted manner."
"Master Ben."
The Military Advisor Alliance followed up and said: "This time, experts do not want to copy the modern exam-oriented education model, but want to try an interest-oriented education model."
"After all, everyone is good at different fields. It is impossible for us to train everyone to be an all-rounder with all-round development of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and labor skills. Instead, we should give full play to their subjective initiative in the fields that they are interested in and good at."
Liu Bian frowned: "You mean...the credit system? It's like a university, with some required courses and elective courses, and you need to take enough credits to graduate?"
"Can!"
The Military Advisor Alliance affirmed this: "However, Ben Ye must strictly control the graduation process. Each subject must have a tangible graduation result before he can be allowed to graduate."
Well......
Experts have something to say!
However, Liu Bian, as one of them, naturally has a deep understanding of it.
He understood very well that the kind of university where he was just dawdling would be worse than no university at all!
From now on, the young genius class will be the emperor's disciples. If they don't have any real ability, they will be an embarrassment to the emperor.
Therefore, even if the Military Advisor Alliance did not remind Yan Ka to graduate, Liu Bian would still do so.
Otherwise, this group of people will have to do all kinds of bad things in the name of the emperor's reputation. This is definitely not what Liu Bian wants!
Liu Bian thought: "Teacher, although I graduated from university, I still don't understand the course design and so on. I would like experts to design an Eastern Han Dynasty version of the credit system."
"rest assured!"
The Military Advisor Alliance agreed without hesitation: "Experts are already doing this, ensuring that a scientific credit system is designed, and then a set of quality education courses will be created for Ben Ye."
"Strive to let these young geniuses in the late Han Dynasty broaden their horizons bit by bit and integrate physics, chemistry, biology and other knowledge into them, so as to lay a solid foundation for the future to strengthen the country with talents."
Liu Bian nodded: "Then I'll trouble the experts."
Military Advisor Alliance: "You're welcome, this is also a good window for modern education reform."
"His Majesty!"
At this moment, Sima Hui, who was below, bowed his head and said softly: "Now that the results of each candidate have been released, I wonder how many people are ready to be admitted to your Majesty's Youth Genius Class?"
"this......"
Liu Bian pondered for a moment and glanced at the list.
The first thirty names were almost all historical celebrities, but among the last thirty names, there were some names that Liu couldn't identify clearly, and that even the experts from the Military Advisor Alliance had never heard of.
Liu Bian originally wanted to admit both Cao Ang and Sun Quan, but a closer look revealed that Cao Ang was only one hundred and Sun Quan was seventy-four, so he really couldn't be too biased.
Sun Quan surrendered. He was only ten years old now. He would still have the opportunity to take the exam in the future, but Cao Ang was already fifteen. If he missed this opportunity, he would have to say goodbye to the Young Genius Class forever.
no way.
Liu Bian could only ensure fairness as much as possible, so he waved his hand: "Just take the top thirty."
Sima Hui nodded: "Well! Your Majesty, the twenty-ninth is Deng Zhi. If he enters the young genius class, this mandarin duck army must choose another general."
"That's right!"
Liu Bian nodded slowly and thought for a moment: "The Yuanyang Army is a strong army. It is certainly a good thing for Deng Zhi to enter the youth class for further study, but this army must not be wasted."
"Who should I choose?"
Just as Liu Bian was deep in thought, the voice of the military advisor alliance sounded: "Master Bian, we might as well let Zhou Yu become the commander-in-chief of the Yuanyang Army first. It is not an option if we leave him idle for a long time."
"Anyway, the main battlefield of the Yuanyang Army is in the south. Zhou Yu's main battlefield in history is also in the south. If he leads the Yuanyang Army, he will definitely achieve something."
"and......"
The Military Advisor Alliance emphasized: "The current deputy generals of the Yuanyang Army are Deng Peng and Deng Yi, both of whom are members of the Deng family. If someone with no ability becomes the chief general, they may not be able to suppress them."
"That makes sense!"
Liu Bian nodded affirmatively and immediately said loudly: "I have decided to send Zhou Yu to be the commander-in-chief of the Yuanyang Army. His exam results are outstanding and he will definitely be qualified!"
"Here comes someone."
Liu Bian shouted.
Squeak—!
Zhu Tong pushed the door open and walked in, bowing and raising his hands: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Liu Bian said sonorously: "Summon Zhou Yu into the palace quickly."
Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "Here."
Immediately.
Bowed and exited the hall.
Sima Hui and others also took the list and left Wende Palace.
After a while, Zhou Yu came to the Wende Hall full of excitement, leaned over and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Yu, see you."
Liu Bian waved his hand to indicate that he was standing flat, his eyes fell on this majestic and handsome talent, and he nodded slowly: "Sure enough, his appearance is extraordinary."
Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is so complimentary. I feel ashamed for receiving it."
Liu Bian smiled indifferently and said, "You ranked among the best in the exam, but I have left you idle for more than a few months. Do you have any complaints?"
"How dare you!"
Zhou Yu was frightened and hurriedly bowed his head: "I believe that your Majesty's move must have a profound meaning."
Liu Bian waved his hand to signal him: "Don't be alarmed. In fact, I have wanted to make arrangements for you for a long time, but I have never had a suitable place to go, so I have to sit idle."
"But now, Deng Zhi of the Yuanyang Army has been admitted to the youth class, and the position of the chief general of the Yuanyang Army has become vacant. I have thought about it and sent you as the chief general. It is the most suitable one."
"I wonder what you think?"
"Ah, this..."
Zhou Yu was surprised, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Your Majesty, isn't it stipulated by the imperial court that even if you pass the art of war assessment, those who join the official position must start from the grassroots level? If I directly become the commander-in-chief of the Yuanyang Army, I'm afraid it will arouse criticism from others, right?"
Liu Bian was surprised and delighted: "You can realize this. I believe that no one is more suitable to be the general than you. The two deputy generals in the Yuanyang Army are both Deng family members. They will definitely not obey you, so you take office."
The first thing you need to do is to establish your authority."
Only then did Zhou Yu understand what the emperor meant, and he immediately raised his hands and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will live up to your high expectations!"
