The imperial examination was a way for the Tang Dynasty to acquire talents.

"The birth of the system of recommendation was destined to make ordinary people no longer possible to become prominent officials. Until the Yang family of the previous dynasty established the imperial examination system. The imperial examination system was naturally prepared for high-ranking officials and nobles and the children of the gentry and wealthy families."

The spring breeze blew slightly, rolled in from the open door and blew on the young faces.

The gentleman paced back and forth on the podium with his hands behind his back, his tone of a sonorous voice.

"After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although the state schools were established in various places, the people had a hard time living. How could they study? In the end, the state schools became a paradise for the children of local wealthy families. As for the Imperial College, they only recruited the children of noble and high-ranking officials. This is another manifestation of the Ninth-rank Zhongzheng system, shameless!"

The gentleman was still young and became more angry on his face, and then he smiled slowly, "Fortunately, Duke Zhao launched a new study. As soon as the new study was released, Confucianism suddenly seemed to be facing a great enemy and suppressed by all parties. But it would be useless to let you suppress the real knowledge. Today, in the Tang Dynasty, schools are everywhere, and His Majesty in the court is frugal, and every year the palace will allocate the money and food saved to schools in various places. Why is this?"

Jia Hong sat straight and listened quietly.

The gentleman waved his hand hard to strengthen his tone, "Just because Your Majesty understands that if you continue to respect Confucianism alone, the world will still not escape the cycle of governance and chaos. If you want to be strong, you can only learn new things!"

The gentleman looked at the students, "You are about to go out of the calculation and study, go to the imperial examination and do things. Now you should be considered an adult. Today I will ask you why you say that new learning can be powerful in the Tang Dynasty? Can new learning avoid the cycle of governance and chaos?"

Students stood up and answered.

There are many answers, mostly praising new learning.

The gentleman kept nodding and finally stared at Jia Hong.

This young man is pure and tepid, and his studies are not good, so gentlemen have always ignored him.

But thinking that he was about to end his student life, the husband couldn't bear it and said warmly: "Jia Hong, tell me."

The students looked at Jia Hong with a smile on their faces.

This fat and stupid man, someone bullied him when he was just starting to be a student, but some classmates stopped him. In these years of classmate careers, everyone has enough to understand Jia Hong's character... it is so pure.

This is a good person!

This is what everyone collectively commented on Jia Hong, but it is also a joke.

Good people are useless. It’s okay to go to the gate or do some work to check for missing items, but it’s not OK to be an official.

Everyone was about to leave the math and step into another level, which was full of energy. Therefore, there was inevitably a little more sympathy and pity when looking at Jia Hong.

Jia Hong stood up.

"Sir, new learning cannot stop the cycle of governance and chaos."

Everyone was stunned.

A classmate scolded, "What do you know?"

They are all beneficiaries of new learning, so they naturally have to speak from the standpoint of new learning, so Jia Hong was not angry and said seriously: "The cycle of chaos and chaos has nothing to do with knowledge, it only has something to do with the people of the world."

The gentleman was stunned and asked, "Then what do you think is the use of new learning in the cycle of chaos?"

The mathematics of mathematics allows teachers and students to speak freely and not to suppress them. This is Jia Ping'an's order back then.

The students breathed and thought Jia Hong was a traitor, but they couldn't do anything to him.

Jia Hong looked at these classmates who were so angry that they felt very interesting, "Sir, the role of the new learning is to make the Tang Dynasty even if it is in chaos, it can still beat the aliens who spyed on the Tang Dynasty to search for teeth."

The classmates' eyes moved slightly.

The gentleman held his forehead with his hands, raised his eyes, and looked at Jia Hong with relief, "It makes sense."

A student was dissatisfied and asked, "Jia Hong, you are quite content with your guidance. Then I ask you, which subject do you think should focus on in the undergraduate entrance examination?"

Since half a year ago, their graduating class began to focus on reviewing. The content of the newly studied imperial examination focuses on the subject of studying things, but occasionally it also focuses on arithmetic.

So guessing which subject this year's imperial examination focuses on has become an important task for teachers and students.

Jia Hong said: "Mathematics has been studying things for many years, and arithmetic is the priority, so all kinds of knowledge and virtue are the first."

The student looked surprised, "You said that this year's first subject emphasizes morality?" He suddenly slapped the case and laughed wildly, "Hahahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone was laughing.

The morality subject and Confucianism are combined together, which is also considered the main course, but most students are not interested in such metaphysical main courses. In addition, the content of the imperial examinations in recent years is still mainly based on studying things and arithmetic, so Jia Hong's answer is particularly ridiculous.

Jia Hong didn't laugh.

Before leaving, Jia Ping'an had a conversation with the children. This conversation was imaginative and omnipotent. When it came to the new school, Jia Ping'an was obviously a little dissatisfied, thinking that knowledge was of great importance, but it was not morality.

——Morality is the foundation of human beings!

If you lose moral constraints, the more advanced your knowledge, the more severe your disaster will be!

This is Jia Hong's understanding.

So he kindly reminded him.

But obviously these reminders have done useless work.

It's over school.

Jia Hong walked out of the calculation school, stood there blankly, looking at the small shop on the left.

Qian Wuniang stood behind the counter and saw him staring at him in a daze, frowned slightly, feeling that this person was a little crazy.

So she turned her head and happened to see Hua Dingyun, and her eyes suddenly glowed.

"Unless your family is better than the Hua family, unless you can pass the imperial examination and become an outstanding official, Qian Wuniang will not like you."

Zhang Lun stood beside Jia Hong, hesitated for a moment, but finally felt that long pain was better than short pain. "You look so kind and kind. For women, they hope that their future husband is a man who stands tall and can support them, rather than a pure and good person."

Jia Hong turned his head, "You hold back your words."

Zhang Lun glanced at him, "Yes."

Jia Hong glanced at Qian Wuniang again, "I know that the forced melon is not sweet..."

"Then are you still obsessed?" Zhang Lun was puzzled.

Jia Hong shook his head, "It's time to go today that we are farewell. In my eyes, there is no difference between her and everything around me. I just look at the environment I have been in for many years."

Zhang Lun sneered, "You keep talking."

Jia Hong walked over slowly, and the shop was on the left. Qian Wuniang was tense and cold as ice.

She didn't want others to misunderstand that she had an entanglement with Jia Hong, and she wanted to know each other.

Jia Hong walked over slowly and said softly: "Actually, from the moment she looked at Hua Dingyun, I knew she had no chance with me."

He walked slowly by, but he stopped looking at Qian Wuniang.

Zhang Lun, “…”

Qian Wuniang: “…”

...

The imperial examination is in spring.

"The plan for the year lies in spring, and this sign is good."

Examiners prepare before the exam.

An examiner said: "But those candidates have to travel to Chang'an with local officials for a long distance. If they encounter rain and snow along the way, they will be quite painful."

"Haha!" One person smiled and said, "But this is also the first time that the students have traveled in their lives, and they have benefited a lot!"

A person came in outside the door, clapped his hands, "Prepare."

The examiners stood up solemnly and went out neatly.

...

The officials and gentlemen of the Imperial College have come today.

Outside the examination room, they were relaxing for the students.

"Don't be nervous. I learned it on weekdays, and I'll just relax and take the exam now."

“…”

Jia Hong stood there, looking at the classmates, and thinking about the official relationships his father had mentioned.

Classmates, in the same year, what other teachers and students are there... These relationships are connected and eventually become disasters.

Why can't you become a beneficial group?

Jia Hong felt that his father was biased.

"Jia Hong, keep it steady!" Zhang Lun came over from the crowd, patted Jia Hong on the shoulder, and said excitedly: "We are going to stand out."

Jia Hong nodded, Zhang Lun's face turned red, "Actually, I want to be a rich and idle person the most." He looked up at Lan Tian with longing, "I can't spend all my money at home, sleep until I wake up naturally every day, eat a delicious meal, and serve the beautiful maids in the Western Regions... Go out for a walk, and you're all light in everything..."

Several students around nodded.

Jia Hong was worried that his friend would go astray, so he advised: "If people don't do things, they will be lost. If they can't find the reason for their lives, they will be ruined over time."

Zhang Lun glanced at him, "You can actually say such profound words...but I am willing to ruin them!"

Jia Hong was helpless, "If you lose it, you will live in vain."

Zhang Lun raised his eyebrows, "But I thought of myself full of talent. If the Tang Dynasty had lost me, it would have been eclipsed..."
