Elder Ai Zhixin feels particularly satisfied. This arithmetic ability is also outstanding among the indigenous people. It's okay! The tax bureau doesn’t have computers for people to use right now. Being good at abacus and being sensitive to numbers are the keys to collecting taxes well. What a great talent! Then the last question:
"Now, please listen to the last question. After you started working, you found a person coming to your bureau carrying a gift, and then walked straight into the director's office. What should you do in the face of this situation?! Start answering the question!"
Zeng Juan was a little panicked after hearing this question. He had seen similar questions in interview guidance books. This is a typical interpersonal relationship. How to answer this is another dilemma. If you don’t remonstrate, then you are a person without principles according to Newspeak; if you do remonstrate, you are a young newcomer, how can you discuss such issues with your boss? ! Although it is reasonable to say it, it is not consistent with emotion, and it is hypocritical to say it. If the examiner asks you more about this issue, you will be chased and beaten if there are any loopholes in your answer.
He thought over and over again, and seeing that the hourglass of thinking was about to run out, he had no choice but to turn his head and grit his teeth and thought: Who cares, it's not his business anyway, just push it out! He composed himself and said: "Dear examiners, the candidates began to answer the last question: Faced with such a situation, I will not do any unnecessary actions, because I believe that every official under my rule in the Song Dynasty must He is impartial and law-abiding, and will not accept benefits from others. I believe that my boss must also be a civil servant of the Song Dynasty who can stand the test. The only thing I have to do in this matter is to remind other colleagues who see it not to spread harmful information. If there is harmony within the unit, at the same time, I will work harder to do my job well in order to repay the trust that the Senate and the people have in me. Dear examiners, candidates have finished answering!"
When Elder Ai Zhixin heard this, he wanted to slap his thighs and scream, nnd, this is the embryo of an official. Just now, the old literati above brought out Zou Ji's satire on King Qi's admonishment, and said a lot of nonsense. He wanted to doze off. This little boy was smart, generous, and very generous. However, he was a veteran, so he still needed to be reserved, so he faintly signaled to Zeng Juan that he could leave. Zeng Juan bowed again and said: "Thank you, examiners!" He left the examination room.
The moment he left the examination room, Zeng Juan felt exhausted. I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, wondering whether the last question was answered appropriately. He is very concerned about success and fame, and he can't help but worry about gains and losses.
It was Yuan Shuzhi's turn to call in. After all, he is older and has experienced many exams, so his mentality is still better than those who took the test. He was quite calm when he heard his own number being called. But when he entered the examination room, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous: he saw the examiners sitting in a row, just like Zeng's examination room, with the elders in the middle and the naturalized cadres on both sides.
Yuan Shuzhi knew that the elder scholar in the examination room was Dong Yizhi. Although the entire examination was relatively fair and there was a corresponding avoidance system, elders always have privileges. Dong Yizhi had long known that the old scholar in front of him was the one who had the highest score in the essay approved by Zhang Yunmi. He had read this person's application and felt that although he was one of the few people who could understand the spirit of the Senate, Dong Yizhi had already made a calculation in his heart. As long as Yuan Shuzhi was not mute, he would admit Yuan Shuzhi.
As for Yuan Shuzhi, when he saw that the interview examiner was actually the examiner who had changed the conditions to accept the scientific examination that he signed up for, he immediately became energetic: according to the past rules, he was the examiner's disciple. If he wins, the master-disciple relationship will be forged, which makes Yuan Shuzhi very excited. If he can hug the lap of a veteran, he will rise to the top! So he calmed down and strode towards the exam table.
Yuan Shuzhi, like Zeng Juan, sat down according to the standard procedures in the textbook, and then the naturalized civilian cadre began to read the questions:
"Congratulations to this candidate for entering the interview. Let's not say much else. Let's start the interview directly. Please listen to the first question: Some people say that age is a treasure, and knowledge is a reference. What do you think of this sentence? Start answering the questions!"
When Yuan Shuzhi encountered this question, he secretly complained. This question seemed to be directed at him. At his age, he could neither rely on his old age nor say that he was nothing for most of his life, so he had to bite the bullet and answer: " Dear examiners, I think this sentence has merit. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, once issued a law: "If the people are over fifty years old, have spiritual practice, and can lead them to do good, they will be regarded as three elders and one person in the village. Choose The three elders of the township and one of them are the three elders of the county. They teach each other about things with the county magistrate, the prime minister, and the lieutenant, and they are not allowed to join the garrison anymore. In the tenth month, they will be given wine and meat.' It can be seen from this that the older people are more virtuous and respected, and they have more knowledge. He has broad knowledge and can give many advices to the younger generation, so age is indeed a treasure. However, Mr. Han Changli once said: "My teacher is the way, don't you know that I was born one after another in my age? So there is no value or no value." A humble person, neither long nor young, the Tao is where the teacher is!" He also said: "If three people are walking together, there must be my teacher. Therefore, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple. There is a sequence of learning the Tao, and there is a skill. Specialize, that's all.' It can be seen from this that no matter how old or young the knowledge is, as long as the Tao exists, then the teacher is there. If it is helpful to solve a problem, no matter he is an octogenarian or a yellow-tongued person, all because of the teacher's etiquette. Please, Confucius didn’t understand the theory of two children arguing about the sun, how much more important to everyone?! The candidates have finished their answers!”
After Yuan Shuzhi finished speaking, Dong Yizhi really wanted to say a few good words. He certainly didn't disappoint! Originally he felt that the old scholar was a little unhappy with the criticism from the Senate that he had changed the rules, but now he felt that what he had done was absolutely right! If the age limit hadn't been changed, this would have been a shame! This old boy is good, and all his hard work is not in vain.
After Yuan Shuzhi finished answering, his shirt was already wet with sweat, but in order to maintain his appearance, he refused to wipe off the sweat, which was difficult for a person of his age.
"Okay, let's look at the second question." The naturalized civilian cadre continued, "Please listen to the question: Some people say that only those who are promising can achieve a position, and some people say that only those who are powerful can be promising. Please share your opinion. "
Hearing this question, Yuan Shuzhi breathed a sigh of relief. This question is simple, just flatter him: "Dear examiners, I started to answer the second question. I think there is nothing wrong with these two sentences, but what should I look at? Under the circumstances, under the pseudo-Meiji rule, many famous people and talents were not able to enter the official career even though they were rich in knowledge. Great talents such as Tang Yin and Xu Wei could not be used and died in depression. However, those who got the official position did not want to pray for the people, but just wanted to serve the people. Those who work for the party and oppose those who are different, enrich their own pockets. For those who are hypocritical, those who are promising will not be able to take their positions and will perish, and those who are in positions will be despicable if they do not think about their principles. Therefore, those who are promising will not be able to take the position, and those who are in position should not be able to do anything. The world is in danger!
"As for our Huanghuang Senate, we will open civil servant examinations widely, search for heroes from all over the world, and use them, so that talented people can get their positions, so that knowledgeable people can display their talents, and the promising and the powerful will be mutually beneficial, and we will strive to restore our great Song Dynasty. Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, let go of China’s century-old haze! In fact, when oranges grow in Huainan, they become tangerines, and when they grow in Huaibei, they become tangerines! Candidates have finished answering the second question."
Hearing this, Dong Yizhi couldn't help but slap the table, which startled Yuan Shuzhi. The examiner next to him also felt embarrassed. Dong Yizhi had to pretend to cough to cope with it, and then continued: "Examinee, please listen to the end. One question, tell me about the book that impressed you most."
Yuan Shuzhi's first reaction was, so he immediately replied: "Dear examiners, the book that impressed me the most is my masterpiece of the Australian and Song dynasties. This book is all-encompassing, but not scattered or chaotic; it is tender, but not obscene or obscene; it seems It is magnificent, but full of sad words. It talks about philosophy, insights, and stories about the world. When you read the book, you feel like you have entered the Grand View Garden in the book. When you close the book, you feel like you have gone to a misty fairyland. It’s really a fantasy book! Just a little insight. I hope the examiners won’t laugh. The candidates have finished their answers.”
Dong Yizhi nodded with satisfaction. If the examination system did not allow direct announcement of results, he would have appointed Yuan Shuzhi as a civil servant in Australia and Song Dynasty. However, he still had to go through the formalities. Procedural justice is also justice, so he gave a high score. Other cadres followed suit one after another. Lao Kong's grades should not be too bad. Although Yuan Shuzhi felt that the officer was favoring him, he could not understand the Australian's temperament and walked out of the door with trepidation. After meeting Zeng Juan and finishing the exam, Yuan Shuzhi seemed to feel that this was all a dream...
There are quite a lot of candidates coming for the interview today. In fact, this public examination is quite unrestrained. If we follow the written examination standards of the old time and space, there will be very few people who are truly qualified. During the marking stage, some veterans pointed out that the content of this exam was too advanced, too difficult for people educated under the traditional education model, and beyond their scope of understanding.
From the various answer sheets, it can be seen that most of their knowledge structures are very biased, and they may not be qualified for the job after direct recruitment. Some people also lack practical understanding of the position they are applying for - judging from the content of the answers, it is completely inconsistent with the position they are applying for.
However, Liu Xiang, Lin Baiguang and others still screened out many "talents that can be created" from various written examination papers. Generally speaking, candidates with a little bit of sparkle are included in the interview list. In the end, more than 500 people were interviewed.
The principles of the interview are also quite relaxed, because Liu Xiang has decided that these candidates who were admitted through the public examination cannot be directly employed, and all of them must enter the cadre training school in Guangzhou for "re-education".
"To be honest, they are indeed talents, but they are not what we need." Liu Xiang said to Zhang Yunmi, "But they are all smart and good at learning - in this time and space, literate people are good at learning, as long as we give them guidance If they follow the right path, they will be called our talents.”
