In order to avoid cheating, the relevant personnel in the interview process are determined by random lottery.

And this method of drawing lots can be traced back to the drawing of lots in the Ming Dynasty, and today's owner Tang Boyuan is related to this.

Tang Boyuan, a native of Chenghai County, Chaozhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty. Tang Boyuan was profoundly knowledgeable and was known as "Confucianism".

He was famous for his honesty and self-discipline throughout his life, and "Quan Cao Bingjian" is an affirmation of his work in the ministry.

So what is the origin of the lottery method and Tang Boyuan, please listen to me to talk about the origin.

In the Ming Dynasty, the civil servants were also examined, but they were assigned to work in the provincial capital, or went to work in the township, and the treatment was very different, so all kinds of bad habits appeared, and they were looking for people to do everything and spending money. This caused other departments of the court to have great opinions on the ministry, and in the end, as long as the decisions of the ministries were considered to be cheating, they quarreled every day, so what should they do?

At that time, Tang Boyuan, who had just been promoted to the Ministry of Officials and served as the secretary of Wenxuan, assisted Sun Piyang, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, to create the "Lottery Method".

According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty and the Biography of Tang Boyuan", "in the history (Ministry of Officials) examination and Wenxuan Langzhong, Zuo Shangshu Sun Piyang clarified the rule of officials, and Bao Tho was not as good as his door."

However, after a short time, they quarreled again, what happened?

Someone cheated again because someone found a loophole in the lottery.

There are some illegal ** to make marks on bamboo sticks, some are long, some are thick, and some are tied with a rope on the head, in short, they are full of tricks. Because too many people go through the back door, there are even strange things like people who recognize the wrong person and draw the wrong lot. Don't be surprised, there was no video in the Ming Dynasty, and the wrong draw was made, and the sign was drawn again, and the draw was drawn until you were satisfied.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Officials had been jokingly called the "Lottery Department" to satirize their clever drawing methods.

It is precisely because some people cheat for personal gain, and it shows the value of Tang Boyuan out of the mud without staining, so there is this "Quancao Bingjian" workshop, standing on the street, so that the world admires it.
