Time passed quickly, and Ye Feng digested all his wonderful ideas.

Zhuge Liang raised another question: "How to ensure the fairness of the exam and prevent the exam questions from being leaked in advance?"

This problem is that even with Ye Feng's two thousand years of vision and experience in his previous life, he still cannot solve it completely.

Fairness has always been a false proposition. The emperor's son cannot be the same as the beggar's son. No matter how you change the world, it will never happen.

It can only appear in a dream.

Classes have always existed. As long as there are people, there will be disputes and differences.

As for not leaking test questions and ensuring fairness for candidates, this is even more difficult to eradicate in this era.

After all, even though the prevention technologies in the past were so advanced, there were still ways to take exams for others and cheat.

In this era without so much high technology, it is extremely difficult to avoid cheating, let alone preventing the test questions from being leaked. As long as there is no large-scale leak and no widespread corruption, Ye Feng thinks it is already very good.

After pondering for a while, Ye Feng sighed quietly: "Where there are people, there are human feelings, and there are differences in closeness and distance. This is inevitable."

"That is to say, there can never be absolute fairness."

“Even I can’t solve it completely. I can only make it as fair as possible.”

"For example, the imperial examination system at least gives people a chance to compete with the children of nobles and officials."

"As for the exam leak, I can ensure that the exam in Kyoto will not be leaked in advance, but it is almost impossible to control it from below."

"Taking exams on behalf of others should be avoided as much as possible."

"This requires the wisdom of both of you. I don't believe you don't have any ideas about this."

"If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other and said, "My Lord, before that, we would like to ask you a question. How do you plan to arrange the contents of the imperial examination?"

"Only when we understand this can we continue what we were talking about."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "In addition to the fixed Confucian classics of the Four Books and Five Classics, we also have to add our views on the current situation."

“Every exam needs to solve the biggest problem at the moment.”

"Although these scholar's words may not be very practical, as long as one of them can wake up the emperor and his court officials, it is already very good."

"Such test questions can also allow those with a spirit of hard work to be employed by the court."

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong clapped their hands and praised: "Excellent!"

"My Lord, this idea is really to solve the problem for the court. I believe that the imperial examination system will eventually produce extraordinary talents who can solve the problem for the court."

Ye Feng waved his hand: "I don't expect these ordinary students who have not been polished to really solve difficult problems, but I want them to keep their eyes on the distance while studying."

"What you learn from books alone is not enough to be an official, nor is it enough to benefit the world."

"Let them read and open their eyes to the world at the same time."

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong laughed: "Not bad."

"Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, such people can make the empire more prosperous."

"We two discussed a lot about substitute exams and taking exams for others, and we felt that we needed to find something that could not be repeated."

"After all, this face can't be exactly the same, and the name can't be exactly the same." "After thinking about it, the only thing I can think of is my own palm print."

"The lines on the palm cannot be the same. As long as we verify the students before the exam, there will be no mistakes."

Ye Feng's eyes lit up and he laughed: "That's a good idea."

"But what if there is someone with great power who can replace him?"

"After all, the people who keep these things can't be selfless or without flaws."

"You can defend against ordinary people, but you can't defend against everyone."

Zhuge Liang said seriously: "We can also guard against this."

"There are examiners from different places, one principal and one deputy. They don't know each other three days before the exam. During the exam, each person is responsible for half of the exam. After the rankings are announced, they will be verified in the capital."

“Avoid mistakes in the middle as much as possible.”

"But even if there are people who engage in corruption, it is unlikely that most of them will have problems."

"As for the truly all-powerful person, he can only give up."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Can you accept this?"

“This seems to be different from the fairness you are pursuing.”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, you just said so many truths. Isn't that also an enlightenment to me?"

"How can you want absolute fairness?"

"Since it is impossible to be fair, it is normal to have some flaws."

"As long as fairness exists for the majority, the system is good."

Pang Tong also showed a smile on his face: "Kong Ming finally got it and knew how to adapt."

“The handprint was the best thing we came up with.”

Ye Feng nodded: "This is a good idea. What's more rare is that your horizons have been broadened a lot."

“No matter what happens, we need to look at it from a high position. As long as the interests of the majority are guaranteed, it is a good policy.”

"Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, and don't dwell on a rut."

"As long as you can look at it in a positive way, there will be a smooth road ahead."

"I believe that with the help of both of you, this imperial examination system will shine as it should."

"It will allow poor children all over the world to see the dawn of hope."

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong knelt on one knee: "I am willing to go through fire and water for my lord."

Ye Feng helped the two of them up: "If you have no problem, I still have something else for you two to do."

"Now think carefully, are there any questions that need to be answered?"
