If you observe carefully, most of the gentry children who surround Zhou Quan and will be influenced by Zhou Quan and others are from Shandong who came to participate in the Qinglong Temple Conference.

The Sanfu of Guanzhong, as well as the children of the gentry in the Hedong area, are actually quite accustomed to examinations. After all, Fei Qian has been laying the groundwork since he was at Shoushan Academy, and many students in the academy have also gone from the academy examination to the official examination.

, so the exam seems to be no big obstacle for them.

But for the children of Shandong gentry, the exam has a different meaning.

Because these guys didn’t need to take exams before. The only exam was to test their family background, financial resources, and manpower. As for personal abilities, you just need to make some preparations in advance and come up with one or two articles. I don’t know if they were written by you.

Write articles, poems, etc., and then perform them vigorously, and that's it.

For these people, the exam is like a bolt from the blue!

These people who are complaining, lamenting, and grumbling about the new changes and new measures of Sanfu in Guanzhong in Qinglong Temple do not know that the land under their feet is very different from the original history, and they are still here

I have a sweet dream and don’t want to wake up.

Historically, the three auxiliaries in Guanzhong once again became a buffer zone, shouldering heavy military and labor duties, while Yuzhou and Jizhou continued to lie like vampires sucking blood from the Han Dynasty, and then parasitized into the Jin Dynasty.

Now Guanzhong Sanfu has become a leader in the front

It takes a lot of courage to break the old framework.

It seems that walking along the previous track will save a lot of effort. This is the reason why the Tang Dynasty in history formed a huge Guanlong family group even after knowing the various shortcomings of the gentry family, and then tried to use the Guanlong family to suppress it.

The Shandong gentry, until Wu Zetian, a ruthless bitch, came to power.

This is the case for these Shandong gentry disciples in Qinglong Temple. When they faced the new changes, they were very uncomfortable, just like being in a warm bed in the early morning and having their quilts suddenly lifted off them.

This taste makes these guys very uncomfortable.

In the inspection and promotion system, one is inspection and the other is promotion. You must first be inspected before you can be promoted.

In order to be noticed by local officials and central government officials, these local surnames and powerful noble families will launch a series of propaganda against some of their families who have relatively outstanding performance or relatively good looks, until a group of fools surround them.

Those young scholars who had been packaged would crowd around the streets crazily every time they appeared, shouting strange words such as "little brother" or "birth monkey", and then throwing various melon and fruit sachets.

If you can avoid being smashed to death, then it's almost done.

As for talent, of course there is some, but perhaps it is limited to what is shown.

So much so that when the Hussars General almost abandoned the imperial examination system and used examinations to select talents, these originally glamorous scholars suddenly became uncomfortable. Especially when they discovered that General Cao Cao also had this tendency.

, this is simply terrifying! These young nobles with tender skin and smooth flesh spend a considerable amount of time taking care of their fur every day. How can they possibly swim in the ocean of knowledge?

Once faced with the exam, many people reveal their secrets.

Especially these Shandong nobles, when they went to Guanzhong in person, they found that the customs in the land of Sanfu in Guanzhong were completely different from the customs of the Shandong nobles. It seemed that they would acquiesce in the exam and then continue it to become a routine.

!

If this really becomes a routine, or even a common practice among all Han people, then wouldn’t it be

This made the children of the Shandong gentry even more frightened and uneasy, so that they had some different emotions.

In Guanzhong Sanfu, the situation of superiority among scholars was broken. Being an official was not only the authority of scholars, nor was it monopolized by scholars. Learning was no longer the exclusive preserve of a few people. As long as they were willing to learn, even farmers' children could learn from the sages.

words, ancient scriptures.

Coupled with the wealth of Sanfu in Guanzhong, it can be said to be the most prosperous city among the Han Dynasty at present, and the agricultural, commercial and handicraft industries are booming, making these gentry children find that they cannot keep up.

What should I do if I can’t keep up?

Some people feel that they can't keep up, so they should speed up their pace and try their best to catch up. Others feel that others are running too fast, so they should catch the fast runner and give him a stumbling block, so that they can become the first.

One person.

Therefore, the public opinion that the examination was unfair and inferior to the examination system was strongly praised by the children of the Shandong gentry in Qinglong Temple. Of course, it was also secretly supported by some of the exam losers among the Guanzhong gentry.

These scholars who failed in the examination room denounced the old-fashioned and restricted examination methods, saying what can an examination mean? Then they gritted their teeth and said that if examinations become popular, in the future there will be only some nerds who can only take examinations.

It is not beneficial to the country and harmful to the country!

Therefore, although he was defeated once by Mi Heng, after a few days, with the intentional or unintentional joint efforts of both parties, and Zhou Quan using Lu Yu's name to encourage him, he watched the east side swim in Mi Heng's absence.

After walking for a while, I connected a few sentences in the west, and it really started a burst of discussion.

Exams are equivalent to being a nerd, and exams are equivalent to having no quality. The big man is pursuing high-quality talents and needs quality education, but can rigid examinations achieve this?

Specious theories began to spread.

At the same time, these people also began to make up some examples to prove their ideas. Some people or things without specific names were cited by them as examples, just like the children in the youth summer camp who cannot peel egg shells in future generations.

He explained that those who passed the exam were all incompetent people who were industrious and industrious, and then questioned loudly and loudly, saying that these people were allowed to hold official positions just based on the exam and not as people with rich life experience.

Is it really good?

But if they really want to ask them to name a specific person or something specific, they will talk about it. They really can't avoid it, so they will give a reason why the relevant people are not allowed to talk about it, and express their feelings.

We are also victims, so why force each other?

But what is the actual purpose of these people's opposition to the exam?

The exam made their original human relationships and social status completely useless!

Can this kind of exam, which forces them to lose some of their advantages, be a good exam for these people? There is no bonus point. This is simply outright discrimination and a cruel injustice!

Thorough and deliberate encouragement, relying on what Lu Zhi's son Lu Yu said before, which is similar to, or biased towards, the Mohist theory of Datong, is to seize one or two points to expand, desperately criticize the shortcomings of the exam, and show that the exam

It is simply a distortion of human nature and a loss of morality.

Then he stirred up the antagonism between the Shandong gentry and the Shanxi gentry.

Anyway, Zhou Quan couldn't defeat Mi Heng, but he just didn't line up with Mi Heng at all and went up, middle and downstream.

And Mi Heng has some of his own work at Qinglong Temple to do, and it's impossible for him to follow Zhou Quan every day, blocking him from going to the jungle or something like that.

In addition, more Shandong gentry disciples came to participate in the Qinglong Temple lecture this time than usual, which made the theory instigated by Zhou Quan invisible. There was a lot of market, and these Shandong gentry disciples were also afraid of Cao Cao.

The comprehensive implementation of the examination system in Shandong caused them to lose the family advantages they had accumulated and had to face the same examination together with children from poor families and even lowly peasant students.

In addition, the Langya Wang family who had been lying on the ice to beg for carps had finally cultivated a gimmick. The mysterious Wang Xiang was stripped of his shiny coat during the examination held in Yecheng, revealing his true identity.

The nature of being timid and afraid of death, and even not daring to actually go to bed on the ice, makes some of these Shandong gentry children feel sad, thinking that their delicate bodies have to compete with those vulgar people. What if they are attacked?

What kind of injury, what kind of small cut, three or four drops of blood, isn't it painful?

No matter what test you take, it’s best not to take any test in this life!

ヽ(；′Д｀)?

While the noble disciples in Qinglong Temple were getting more and more excited, Fei Qian was arranging another thing.

Fei Qian, who is deeply influenced by the marketing strategies of later generations, certainly knows what is hidden under free things.

When Fei Qian learned that the wave of people from Jiangdong was indeed eyeing the new warships in Xuanwu Pond, he was faced with two choices. One was to find, capture, and kill these people, just like he did in Tongguan.

As for these people, Kan Ze has already found some of them by following the exposed traces, and he can arrest them at any time if he wants.

And what's another option?

Instead, he simply gave the new warship to Sun Quan.

Feiqian will not go sailing in the short term, and there is no need to organize a large navy. After all, most of Feiqian's territory is on the ground, and it is the main combat force based on cavalry.

The navy's expenses, daily maintenance and upkeep are actually no less than the cost of maintaining the cavalry's horses. Of course there is no problem with a small fleet, but if you want to build a large one, you can compare it head-on with the Jiangdong Navy

It is not something that can be achieved in just one or two years.

Therefore, Ma Jun's warship development is more like a technical reserve, and does not have the ability to directly transform into actual war power at this stage.

In addition, Jiangdong is currently the weaker party among the Han Dynasty. If it adds some strength to Sun Quan's navy, it will naturally make Sun Quan more powerful in the confrontation with Cao Cao.

The enemy of the enemy is, to a certain extent, a friendly force.

What's more, Fei Qian is currently thinking about expanding steel production and accelerating the process of industrialization again. Since China passed the Bronze Age, it has of course entered the Black Iron Age. Who can climb higher in the technology of Black Iron? Of course

It has even more advantages, and the wooden warship currently developed by Xuanwuchi

Perhaps in the eyes of today's people, Dahan is already very advanced, but Fei Qian knows that, let alone iron-clad ships, building an iron-clad ship can make these wooden ships look like Sun Tzu's.

Therefore, Kan Ze finally found Ma Jun with a larger wooden box and some doubts.

The Xuanwu Pond was temporarily suspended, so Ma Jun naturally did not stay in the Xuanwu Pond, but in his small courtyard in Chang'an, taking a rare annual leave.

As soon as you enter Ma Jun's yard, you can feel the atmosphere of a craftsman. There are no plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums that literati like, but there are a lot of wood, stone, soil and other items, as well as some large and small tools, piled up in various directions.

in various places

Ma Jun's entourage will clean up, but as long as Ma Jun stays at home for a long time, he will immediately return to his original state.

Kan Ze looked around and saw the soldiers on duty around Ma Jun's courtyard, and felt a little relieved.

The Lifang where Ma Jun lives is a small area in the northwest of Chang'an. Except for a few courtyards owned by some noble families in Chang'an, most of the rest have become products under the name of Hussar, just like

The small courtyard where Ma Jun lives is also one of them.

Because Ma Jun is considered a relatively high-level research talent, his treatment is much better than that of ordinary craftsmen. Kan Ze was also worried about what harm Ma Jun would suffer during this operation, so he hired Qiusi in advance.

The soldiers escorted Ma Jun back to Chang'an first.

In this village, because most of the residents are relatively important people like Ma Jun and some officials directly under the jurisdiction of the Hussar Mansion, it can basically be said to be the dormitory area for senior officials in the court of the General Hussar Mansion.

There are specialized soldiers responsible for patrolling the streets, and there are several sentry towers manned day and night, so it is relatively safe.
