"Meow~Meow~"

Song Linger was curled up cross-legged in a Taishi chair, with cement on her legs, and a person and a cat were all napping.

The Taishi chair of the Ming Dynasty was different from that of the Qing Dynasty in that it specifically referred to the circle chair, which was connected into a semicircle from the back of the chair to the armrests, and was more comfortable to lie down than the Taishi chair of the Qing Dynasty.

Suddenly, the cry of a companion was heard in the courtyard, and the two ears of the cement immediately stood up. The legs of this cargo borrowed strength on Song Ling'er's stomach, kicked suddenly, and quickly jumped into the courtyard.

The three heroes of civil engineering are glorious teachers, and they don't know what bad things they want to do.

Song Ling'er opened her eyes in a daze, yawned and stretched her waist with her hands high, lifted the clothes on her body, twisted her neck and said, "What time is it?" Feeling a little hungry...... Hey, why did your clothes fall to the floor? ”

Wang Yuan didn't speak, holding "Zhuzi's Language" and watching it with relish.

Song Ling'er bent down to pick up her clothes and muttered to herself: "Even if you have a conscience, you know that you are afraid that I will catch a cold." ”

Wang Yuan was still reading.

"Nerd."

Song Ling'er muttered, opened her throat and shouted: "Ah Cai, come over with some food!" ”

After a while, Ah Cai brought a plate of pastries and made two cups of tea for them.

Song Ling'er ate snacks by herself, without any ladylike image, and said while chewing: "Hey, you haven't hunted with me for the past two days, what kind of ghost book are you reading?" ”

Wang Yuan finally closed the book and said with a smile: "Very interesting book." ”

"Working so hard, are you afraid that you won't be able to show off your talents?" Song Ling'er asked.

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "This book has nothing to do with Kao Xiucai. ”

"Then you're still looking at a." Song Ling'er said she couldn't understand.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "You don't understand, this book is very interesting, I may have to rely on it to make a living in the future." ”

Since he was woken up by Shen Fuxuan that day, Wang Yuan went to buy a copy of "Zhuzi's Language". The money to buy books was borrowed from Song Ling'er, anyway, there are many debts, and it will be repaid together in the future.

As soon as this book was opened, Wang Yuan entered a new world.

Before the Song Dynasty, Confucianism was full of sweat and cattle, and it was also mixed with the hundred schools of thought and Buddhist and Taoist theories, and the content was complex and lacked systematization.

On the basis of Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, Zhu Xi used the Book of Changes to build the foundation and framework, constructed the cosmology with the five elements of Taiji, Yin and Yang, and threw Confucian classics such as the Four Books and the Five Classics into it, forming a science with a complete theoretical system.

The great truths taught by the science of science are all correct in the humanities, and it will not be possible to find fault in another thousand years.

It's a pity, too retreating.

Wang Yuan roughly finished reading "Zhuzi's Language", and couldn't help but be overjoyed at the moment, picking up a brush and writing four words on the paper.

Song Ling'er chewed the pastry and leaned over to take a look: "Physics, chemistry...... What does this mean? ”

Wang Yuan smiled evilly: "Zhu Zi said that he wanted to 'exhaust the rationality of things', and I referred to it as 'physics'; Zhu Zi said that all things are 'vaporized into manifolds' by yin and yang, and I referred to it as 'chemistry'. Physics and chemistry are the foundation of my life's learning. But it's useless for the time being, and I have to wait until I'm admitted to the Jinshi and make a name for myself before anyone can be convinced. ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Song Ling'er became more and more confused.

What does Wang Yuan want to do?

Of course, it is to tamper with the teachings of the Doctrine of Theory.

This thing is too easy to change, who made Zhu Xi think with scientific research everywhere when he was doing his studies - objective idealism is like this.

Wang Yangming is actually doing the same thing, quietly tampering with the meaning of the science scriptures, but he still hangs the sign of science science, and "heart learning" is openly shouted by the disciples and grandchildren.

Wang Yuan plans to follow Wang Yangming first, use Uncle Wang's fame to promote himself, and then package science and mind science together to tamper with it, so as to create his own doctrine.

Well, the fusion of mind and science, is it called psychology?

Psychology master Wang Er, this nickname is quite good.

Wang Yuan took a sip of tea, then opened "The Book of Rites and Justice" and read it hard.

Song Linger complained: "Why do you read books again? Boring! ”

Wang Yuan said excitedly: "I want to work hard to take the imperial examination and spread my doctrine as soon as possible!" The top priority is to pass the Tao test. ”

……

The road test is much more formal than the county test and the government test.

Wang Yuan and Liu Yaozu received the blank test paper at Guizhusi three days in advance, and filled in their names, ages, places of origin and three generations of ancestors. Then you can get the final ticket of the test paper, that is, the admission ticket, and use the admission ticket to get your own test paper on the day of the exam.

Under normal circumstances, children in all states and counties must get together to take the test.

In provinces with too many candidates, the test is divided into several sessions on a county basis, and the questions in each test are different, so as to prevent the first examiner from leaking the questions. Moreover, the order of the examination is also exquisite, and the state and county are tested first, and this arrangement rule is called the "county outline".

However, Guizhou's transportation is inconvenient, and in order to take care of remote areas, Xi Shu took the initiative to go to various places to invigilate the examination separately, so as to avoid the suffering of the children's journey.

At four o'clock in the morning, equivalent to five o'clock in the morning, the children came to the door of Sixue in the dark.

This kind of tossing people's rules has cheapened small traders, and they pick up stalls to sell breakfast one by one.

Liu Yaozu was extremely worried, gnawed on the meatloaf bought by Wang Yuan and said: "I definitely can't do it this time, I barely memorized the first part of the "Book of Rites" last night. ”

"Grinding the gun in battle, it's not fast or light, it's definitely okay." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

While the two were talking and laughing, a group of poor people came and walked directly into the door of Sixue.

The leader is called Zhang Bangchen, a professor of Guizhou Xuanwei Sixue. "Professor" is the official name, which is equivalent to the principal and director of teaching in a provincial public school.

If Wang Yuan can be admitted to the student program, he will definitely enter the division in the future and study under our Professor Zhang.

In ancient times, no matter what level of official teachers, all of them were poor.

For scholars, poverty can naturally evolve into high school, and these teachers are very high. It doesn't matter how big an official you are, I will listen to your orders if they are correct, but don't think that I will give you a good face, even if the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty comes, he will still put on a show.

Why?

Because the teachers can't be promoted, and they are so poor that they don't need to talk to anyone. It doesn't matter if you contradict the officials, it's just a broken teaching position, whoever likes to be the one who becomes, you will remove me from my position, not to mention that the magistrate has no power to dismiss the teacher.

Combining the above factors, it is a dignified provincial political envoy, and when he sees a government professor, he can also be treated politely - what do you care about a poor acid? There is no benefit at all, and it has a bad reputation.

Zhang Bangchen was born as a tribute, and he was a tribute.

That is, Xiucai has not been admitted to the examination for decades, and is recommended by the local government to study in Guozijian, and then waits for the imperial court to assign work, and is generally assigned to various places as teachers.

Once you accept the position of teacher, there is no hope of promotion in this life.

Like Zhang Bangchen, who is even worse, his salary is not enough to live, he has to wait for the harvest of the school field to live, and he will be hungry in case of drought or something.

But at this moment, Zhang Bangchen is majestic.

He walked with other teachers all the way, and all the students bowed down along the way. It's like a club boss leading his subordinates to patrol the streets, and there are younger brothers greeting along the way: "Brother Bang is good, Brother Bang has worked hard!" ”

Professor Zhang came to the front of the Sixue Hall, where there were already more than 10 people standing, all of whom were adjutants of various chief lawsuits, as well as students who were settling insurance for children.

Under normal circumstances, the prefects of all localities and the prefects of the first county should be present in person to participate in the invigilation. But the toasts in Guizhou have a big shelf, and only one adjutant was sent to deal with it, and Xi Shu didn't bother to care so much.

"Raise the officer!"

Some officials chanted in the west hall, and the deputy envoy was sitting in the west hall at the moment.

It is also particular about the scholar sitting in the west hall, and the source of the west seat is the same, it is from the Han Ming Emperor to respect Huan Rong as a teacher, please Huan Rong sit in the west and face the east.

Officials from all walks of life entered the west hall in turn, saluted to Xi Shu, and Xi Shu sneered and ignored him.

Under normal circumstances, the first to enter should be the prefect. And the prefect is not used as a courtesy, and the scholar must return the courtesy. When I arrived in Guizhou, I just happened to be reversed, just because all the adjutants came.

There is only one exception, and that is the prefect of Chengfanfu.

Xi Shu walked directly in front of the prefect of Cheng Fan and saluted, and the prefect of Cheng Fan also violated the rules to return the salute.

The prefect of Chengfan was served by a Han official and belonged to a prefecture attached to the provincial capital of Guo. But most of the territory under its jurisdiction is actually controlled by Tusi, because Cheng Fantong has the surname Song, and this prefect is very aggrieved - Cheng Fanfu, which was later Guiyang Mansion, has since had the name of Guiyang.

Xi Shu and the prefect of Cheng Fan saluted each other, and then returned to their seats.

Then the teachers came in, and Xi Shu stood up again and saluted. Professor Zhang and a group of poor people stood up with their hands, and they did not need to return the gift according to the system, which was a rare moment for teachers.

Finally, the students who protect the children should all stand in front of the West Hall and bow to the school officials. And Xi Shu didn't have to stand up, let alone return the gift or something.

The next normal procedure is to name the county, call a certain county, and the county instructor will answer, and then run to stand behind the student officer. But in Guizhou, this procedure is directly omitted, because there are not a few county-level government teachers today.

immediately pointed out the names of the students, and all of them stood behind the school officer.

Finally, it was the turn of the candidates to take the roll call.

"Guizhou Wei Li Xun!"

"Yes."

"Zhongcao Si Zhang Zhong!"

"Yes."

The candidates came in one after another, standing in the courtyard in front of the West Hall, and then took the admission ticket to get their answer sheets. Then go to the search area and be frisked to prevent cheating.

You can't choose your own seat for the road test, and the answer sheet, admission ticket and exam table are all numbered, and all three must have the same number in order to pass the verification and start the test.

Wang Yuan studied the ink slowly, and after a short time, he got the topic: a four-book question, no less than 200 words; One Pentateuch question, no less than 300 words.

The title of the fourth book is: Why bother? There is also benevolence and righteousness.

Sure enough, just as Master Shen said, Xishu only examines the first part of the Four Books and Five Classics, and this question is the first article of "Mencius".

Wang Yuan wrote eight strands, just like engaging in civil engineering, first determine the overall design, then disassemble it to design in sections, and then carry out construction little by little.

This question is about interests and benevolence, which is very simple, but it is difficult to write brilliantly.

Wang Yuan first determined the central idea, that is, a gentleman does not say that there is no profit, but only says that there is great harm in profit, and if he stresses benevolence and righteousness, he does not seek profit but gets great profit.

"A gentleman who is only benevolent and righteous and does not speak of profit, covers the beginning of the patent and sincerity." That's the problem.

Next, I will briefly describe the harm of only talking about profit.

Then he will explain the benefits of righteousness.

The middle eight strands discuss in detail the dialectical relationship between interest and benevolence.

In the end, the prosperous times are benevolent and beneficial to the world, and the gentlemen are practicing benevolence and righteousness and benefiting the family and the country, so all the people can enjoy their great benefits. At the end of the dynasty, everyone talked about small profits, and if they did not pursue the great interests of the world, they would bring great harm. Therefore, we must learn from the lessons and listen carefully to the wise words of the sages.

By the way, he also patted Zhu Xi's sycophant, saying that benevolence and righteousness are heavenly principles, and we must all carefully understand and practice them.

In fact, Wang Yuan's real thoughts, although he also agrees that benevolence and righteousness come first, but at the critical moment, he must rely on interests to promote, but unfortunately this kind of words cannot be written on the test paper.

(PS: I didn't find the eight-strand model essay, I wanted to write one myself, but it took half an hour to solve the problem, and we omitted the content directly.) ）
