This is true in labor and in natural disasters.

Guo Jun was sent by Guo Peng to the Yellow River coastal areas of Qingzhou and Yanzhou more than once to observe and learn the actual operations of local people in building water conservancy projects and raising ducks and treating locusts.

There was even one time when he personally participated in the operation to fight locusts.

The strategy of raising ducks and treating locusts can only make up for the loss of sheep, rather than curing them. The radical action is still in progress and the process is slow.

So every year, some small-scale locust plagues appear in the Central Plains. That time, Guo Jun bumped into it.

He held up all kinds of tools to kill locusts, rushed to the place where locusts gathered and rushed to the place where locusts gathered to kill them, preventing them from eating up crops and plants.

The locust plague was controlled, but after coming back that time, Guo Jun was so angry that he hated the locusts, saying that one day he would destroy all the locusts in the world, and conducted in-depth research on the locust plague.

So in practice, he has definitely had practical experience and will not make jokes.

In this regard, he has absolutely no reason not to do well in the exam.

So, he got a high score of 197 points in the first two papers, but he didn't pay attention to some fragments and wrote them out incorrectly and lost three points.

Yes, not bad.

At least there is no problem with the Royal Basic Education, so I will do it in the future.

As for the policy theory test on the third day, he lost twelve points for a full score of 100 points.

This part is related to the consideration of the court's policy strategy, so Guo Peng attaches great importance to it. He draws the cabinet assistants, cabinet members, ministers of various departments, and ministers in turn to judge the strategy level of these students with their professional perspective.

I can see whether it is very excellent or flashy, a feasible argument, or a fancy and gorgeous article.

Guo Peng looked at his roll of paper.

He personally formulated the two policy issues raised in this year's test paper. One is the country's general policy for developing grassland Mozhou, and the other is the country's general policy for developing Jiangnan. He asked students about their views and suggestions on these two major policies.

It is also Guo’s own selfishness to raise these two questions. He feels that from these two national policies full of enterprising and long-term vision, talents who agree with and have the same strategic vision can be found.

You can also find people who are not satisfied with these policies and dismiss them.

In this sense, the imperial examination can also help the emperor search for supporters with similar political attitudes, which will help the long-term policy sustainment.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for him.

Guo Jun's argument is in line with rules, nothing unexpected, no fallacy or political mistakes, the suggestions made are reasonable and well-founded, and there are differences in the execution level and order. It is considered a good suggestion, but of course, it is not outstanding.

Some points were deducted here, mainly because there was nothing outstanding.

As for the level of freedom to play later, Guo Jun chose the locust plague issue that he was good at and in-depth research to express his views and arguments. He studied the issue of locust plague very deeply and demonstrated the importance of controlling locust plague from the root of many aspects.

He strongly supported the country to vigorously invest in development and environmental governance in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, vigorously restored the population and agricultural production in the Guanzhong region, and believed that agricultural production was the mortal enemy of locusts.

Otherwise, raising ducks and controlling locusts and purging them with all their might will not solve too many problems.

This argument has written a lot of words and applied many facts he has verified, so he scored very high, and the points deducted are mainly the most concise and average policy statements in the first two articles.

After reading his answer sheet, Guo Peng felt that Guo Jun was quite good at being a specialist in locust control.

Seeing that he has a lot of experience in controlling locusts, he has always regarded this as his greatest interest, and now it is indeed a bit like that. If he goes further in the future, Guo Peng plans to put him in the Guanzhong area and let him work with the group of officials in charge of development.

After putting away Guo Jun's test paper, Guo Peng looked at Xu Jing.

"Can my unsatisfactory son be in the top ten in this exam?"

"Your Majesty, yes, the second young master's score is enough to rank in the top ten, and the top three are fine. There are not many people with high scores in this exam, and the main score levels are concentrated in the 200 to 250 levels, and there are not many people with 250 points up."

Xu Jing replied.

"Well, this exam is the first time that new assessment standards are adopted in this exam. It is indeed possible to examine a large number of nerds who are obsessed with the Five Classics and do not pay attention to anything. The National Dynasties cannot only read the Five Classics and do not read anything else. This is very important."

Guo Peng summarized the results of this exam and asked: "Who is the highest score so far?"

"When you come back to Your Majesty, the highest score currently is a student of Xiangyang, Jingzhou and a scholar. Ma Su is 20 years old and has a total score of 291 points."

"Ma Su?"

Guo Peng was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's the scholar who was concerned about... He cooked and ate in the examination room. After the test paper was evaluated, he was disassembled and his name was only known by us. This student is indeed very talented, especially those three policy statements, which are really good."

Those who judged the policy were all senior officials of the current dynasty, strong soldiers who had repeatedly withstood the test of the Guo and Wei regime. They had excellent professional skills, so their evaluation was naturally relatively fair and accurate.

It can be seen that Ma Su's talent is very real.

Moreover, Ma Su is indeed not a man of war on paper. He has served as the prefect of Mianzhu, Chengdu, and Yueli County, and has done a good job.

Especially the prefect of Yueli County, who was a prefect in a place where barbarians lived together, and did not have the ability to suppress rebellions, he did not have the ability to do the position of prefect.

Ma Su should also have practical experience, but not war experience on the regular battlefield.

He served as a central and local official position, and Ma Su was also an old bureaucrat who had been fully trained. He was thirty-nine years old when he led his troops to fight Jieting. He really couldn't be said to be a young man, and he was no younger than Wang Ping.

Zhuge Liang chose him more than Sun Quan chose Lu Xun to deal with Liu Bei, rather than Zhao Kuo to deal with Bai Qi.

But Zhuge Liang never expected that the "Lu Xun Second" he was looking forward to was just a second mistake. He committed the second mistake in the past changes in history, losing the national destiny, making him laugh.

It cannot be said that Ma Su has a problem with his ability.

Staff officers and commanders are not in the same job position. If you use staff officers as commanders, problems will inevitably arise, really.

A good commander must have a big heart.

In addition to this reason, Ma Su was very talkative and admired Zhuge Liang's words and felt that he was very appreciative. Guo Peng remembered that Zhuge Liang also had the title of top scholar on his body.

The previous top pick, the next top pick, this...

Is it the wonder of history?

Is it the last persistence of this unrecognizable era that has been tampered with by myself?

Guo Peng doesn't know.

But he knew that, 291 points, it seemed that Ma Su not only had solid basic knowledge, but also had a very political vision.

Then, Guo Peng asked the second place now, and found out that the second place was a bit surprised. He was actually Cao Cao's son, Cao Zhi, with 288 points.
