Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 470
Zhu Su's words were merciless, and the student's face suddenly turned blue and then red.

Guozijian is located in the center of Yingtian City, adjacent to the most prosperous Qinhuai River in the city, and there are many traffickers in the city on weekdays.The people of the country like to watch the excitement. Just now, when these Wen Sheng made troubles, a lot of people gathered together. Now that there is a conflict between the two sides, the surrounding crowd gathered even more.The faces of the Wensheng couldn't help but someone clamored in the crowd: "I have read poetry and books and know everything. How can I be inferior to the subordinates! Your Highness is humiliating us scholars!"

Standing on the steps, Zhu Su keenly saw Wen Sheng who was leading the noise.Then he greeted him and said: "Since you think you know everything, why don't you come out and have a competition."

"Although this king is young, he doesn't bully you. You go out on your own. How about this king looking for an apprentice document in the mansion?"

Seeing that Zhu Su saw the man, he wanted to hide, but when he heard that it was a competition, many friends and classmates around him directly pushed him out.Most of this group of literati are also young and energetic, and they are not convinced by Zhu Su's words.Which one of them who studied literature didn't go on stage to argue with others?Nothing to be afraid of.

What's more, it would be fine if the fifth prince, who was rumored to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, came out in person.Now it's just looking for a document in the army, so what's there to be afraid of?

To put it bluntly, the documents in the palace are just domestic slaves.Often, as long as he is literate, he can be called the master book of documents.If there is a person with talent and virtue, who would be willing to go to the house of the Fifth Highness as a slave or a handmaid?How can he be the opponent of the scholars of my generation who have been in poverty for several years?
"Your Highness has an invitation, and the students dare not refuse." The man stepped forward and said.He turned to face his companions, raised his arms and shouted: "Where the Tao is, we are duty-bound."

"Xiaosheng Yi Zimei, I need to let the world know that my generation of scholars who read the books of sages are the pillars of governing the country!"

"Brother Yi is so righteous!" "Brother Yi is a role model for me!"

Seeing his upright and stern expression, many scholars clamored excitedly.This Yi Zimei has suddenly become the leader of this group after Qi De.

Zhu Su just watched his performance quietly, then turned his head and told Fang Xiaoru to go to the mansion to find any clerk.After a while, a young man in dirty and old clothes rushed over. After seeing Zhu Su, he quickly knelt down: "Little man Tie Zhong, I have seen the prince!"

"Your name is Tie Zhong?" Seeing his appearance, Zhu Su seemed to be honest and careless, but he felt a little worried. "You are a clerk in the house, what part of the work are you in charge of?"

"Back to the lord." Zhu Su didn't say anything about his body, Tie Zhong still knelt on the ground, his forehead was still pressed against the bluestone on the ground in full view of everyone, and he was extremely respectful: "The villain's ancestors were three generations of blacksmiths, and the villain's generation Fortunately, I hired a gentleman who knew a few words, so besides blacksmithing, I also did some work in the house to buy ore and calculate the loss of ironmaking."

Before he finished speaking, some of the group of literary students could not help but laugh out loud.This person looks like he is not very smart, and he has no integrity. His ancestors have been blacksmiths for three generations. What kind of family education can he have?

Especially after His Highness called him to Ping, many people could clearly see that this person's eyes were somewhat blue.This is clearly a descendant of the Semu people, the descendant of the barbarians!
What knowledge can you understand?
When Tie Zhong learned that Zhu Su wanted him to compete with literati, Tie Zhong was even more terrified, and almost knelt down to Zhu Su.Under Zhu Su's forced order, he reluctantly stood up.But a pair of legs have already shaken like chaff, which is embarrassing.

Hearing that even the common people behind started clamoring, Zhu Su couldn't help feeling a little guilty.He quietly asked Fang Xiaoru: "Why did you find him here? All the paperwork in the house should have passed the test of elementary arithmetic. Isn't it okay to find anyone to come here? What if this person loses because of nervous stage fright?" , isn’t it embarrassing me?”

Unexpectedly, Fang Xiaoru was full of confidence in Tie Zhong: "Master, don't worry, Brother Tie is weak in appearance, but he is the most diligent in studying."

"Master's elementary arithmetic, he is the most proficient in the Chinese books in the house. It will not be a problem to subdue these rotten scholars!"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhu Su also refers to believing in Fang Xiaoru's judgment.

"I don't know what your Highness is going to compete with? Please ask your Highness to come up with a question." Yi Zimei was already sure of winning at this time, and she was full of ambition.He never expected that this trip would actually give him a big deal.That Semu man obviously has no education, and even struggled to speak, how could he be his opponent?
What kind of competition is just going through the motions.As long as this cutscene is over, he will be considered as stepping on the Imperial Academy, and since then he has become famous in Shilin, and his official career has been magnanimous since then.

"This time Enke is recruiting tax collectors. You think that the students recruited this time are all talented people, and you should test the articles of sages to select qualified tax collectors."

"Then this competition is naturally a technique of comparison and calculation."

"If you say a thousand words and ten thousand, tax collectors still need to be proficient in calculations to be competent. Whether they are qualified or not should also be measured by whether they can calculate the accurate tax amount for the court."

"Otherwise, even if you pay ten thousand words a day, it's not good enough to calculate the tax amount. What's the use? Are you raising him to be an imperial official?" Zhu Su said.

Among the literati crowd, noises gradually rose up, as if they disagreed with what Zhu Su said, but Zhu Su ignored it, he thought that through this competition, the onlookers would be drawn into criticizing these old literati camp.In order to enhance the sense of participation of the surrounding people, he did not come up with the question himself, but shouted to the surrounding people: "Fellow folks, if anyone is in business and wants to do some accounting at home, you can bring it." .”

"An official is supposed to be the master for the people. Now you wait for the common people to come up with a test to see who is suitable to be an official. It is also an elegant thing for my Ming Dynasty."

"This can be regarded as cooperating with my king's willfulness. If there are folks who are willing to submit questions, this king will reward you."

Let the people test the literati?This is new.This method immediately attracted the attention of the onlookers.Soon, a chubby man shouted loudly: "Your Highness, we slaughter pigs in this market, and I always feel that the more we sell, the more we lose money this year. It's a rough account, but it's just a mess. We don’t understand it ourselves. We want the two scholars above to help us figure out whether it is worthwhile for us to do this business, will it work?”

"Success! Why not." Zhu Su laughed. "If you can figure it out clearly, it seems unnecessary. It can not only make a test, but also benefit you, brother, and do you a little favor. Why not do it?"

Seeing Zhu Su's kindness, the man laughed, and then Sa Yazi went back to his butcher's shop to get the account book.Perhaps it was preaching while walking, but when they came back, they brought a lot of onlookers, and the people from all directions blocked the entrance of the Guozijian.
