The shock in Su Lu's heart was naturally not good to talk to Lao Jiang.

He pulled Lao Jiang to analyze this same year book, and found that this branch of Fujian Road may become the biggest winner, not only in their Fujian Road, but also in the number of high schools, there are sixty-nine Jinshi alone!

Jiangnan Road and Liangzhejiang Road followed closely behind, and there were also more than 50 Jinshi!

In contrast, there are only more than 20 of them on Yizhou Road, and their record is relatively dismal, but they are still outstanding in the country, ranking fourth! In contrast, there are some places where there is no harvest that should be sad.

Su Lu said: "The fourth is also successful, our Yizhou Road is also among the best." ”

Lao Jiang nodded again and again, and told Su Lu about the big gossip of this year's imperial examination: It turned out that he was not the only one in the champion Zhang Heng's family who won the Jinshi, and his uncle Zhang Dian also won it. As a result, Zhang Dian felt that his ranking was lower than that of his nephew, and he resolutely gave up the fame of this imperial examination, and directly said that he was going back to his hometown to retake the examination!

Lao Jiang had some envy and jealousy on his face, and said with Su Zhi with emotion: "It's really a drought to death, and a waterlogging death." "Think about how long he took the exam, and he didn't finally get admitted until he was in his forties.

Su Lu thought about it, Zhang Dan, I don't recognize it. He shook his head and said, "This person's morale is quite high, not as strong as my third uncle!" ”

Lao Jiang was speechless for a while.

If you are a nephew, it's not good to stab your uncle in the heart like this, right?

Although Su Lu talked nonsense in his mouth, he wrote down the name Zhang Dian in his heart.

This kind of high-spirited person must be very remarkable when he gets into trouble, and he needs to pay more attention to avoid any conflicts with the other party when he gets there.

It's better to be mentally prepared than never.

Su Lu analyzed the same year's books one by one, and when he saw the spring breeze on Lao Jiang's face, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It has been almost ten years since he came to the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is impossible to go back, only his golden finger makes him always remember that he is from another era.

Over the years, he has been in contact with a lot of people and knows a lot of things, he knows very well that if he wants to speak in the imperial court, a Jinshi background is indispensable, and the connections must be set up early, and he will only die miserably if he grinds his gun.

Looking at the string of names in front of him, Su Lu couldn't help but think of the famous Joseph Needham problem in later generations: Although ancient China made many important contributions to the development of human science and technology, why did the scientific and industrial revolution not occur in modern China?

There are many answers to this question and many disagreements.

Many people have answered accordingly from the convenience of regions, thinking, concepts, policies, culture, etc., and Su Lu has read a lot of content in this regard and knows that these views have a certain amount of truth.

China is in a relatively comfortable environment, the vast sea and the dangerous mountains hug the whole land of China, so that China has formed a relatively closed congenital environment, even if there is a war, it is the north and the south fight each other, and there is rarely a real crisis of annihilation of the country and the nation.

For the common people, for thousands of years, they have lived a small-scale peasant economic life, and most of them are self-sufficient in food and clothing, and they only need to live in peace and control, so that they can live their lives step by step.

Since the birth of the imperial examination, reading has become one of the important channels for ordinary people to rise, and it has become more and more important, and the court has almost become the world of literati during the Song and Ming dynasties.

The literati not only value literature over martial arts, but also emphasize literature over skills, neither interests are driven behind, nor there is any hope of status promotion, and those who are really capable have gone to the imperial examination, and naturally no one is willing to diligently climb the science and technology tree.

As for the Qing Dynasty, it is not to mention.

In this environment, it is not easy to light up the tech tree early.

Shinong businessman, farmer and industrialist, study ranks first, agriculture ranks second, and those who engage in technology and economy are all at the bottom!

Coincidentally, these two are the driving force for social development in later generations and an important indicator to measure comprehensive national strength.

How can one change an era?

How can one person sway everyone's mind?

Why did countless talents emerge during the period in which Wang Anshi lived, but in the end, Wang Anshi's reform ended in a few, and even caused the most tragic party struggle in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, which indirectly led to the Northern Song Dynasty becoming the Southern Song Dynasty decades later?

Maybe it's because it's not a certain person, not a certain interest group, but an entire era.

Wang Anshi's thinking is out of step with the entire era.

Some things have been rooted for thousands of years, deeply rooted and flourishing, and have long been rooted in the blood and bones of every human being.

Since ancient times, the more places where the knife is used in reform, the more benefits will be touched.

If you can't see that the benefits of the reform measures outweigh the disadvantages, and willingly follow you, the road will only get narrower and narrower.

Su Lu stood up, put his little hands behind his back, and walked outside to the corridor to breathe. He stood under the porch for a long time, sighed and said, "Spring is almost over, and the weather is about to get hot, so we have to ask King Kong to go and book some ice early." ”

Lao Jiang originally came to see Su Lu standing there with a tense face, thinking that he was thinking about something important, and he didn't dare to disturb him.

Hearing Su Lu muttering like this, Lao Jiang came back to his senses: Su Lu is not even ten years old, how can there be so many important questions to think about?

Eating and drinking every day is what Su Lu should do!

Lao Jiang Yinghe said: "The ice here in Kaifeng is easy to buy, and it is said that each family has a lot of it in their own storage, so they don't have to go out to buy it." ”

Su Lu nodded again and again: "You reminded me, if I can't buy ice when I go back, I will borrow it from Brother Zhao Xian, and I will never pay it back!" ”

Thinking that he might have to work for Lao Zhao's family in the future, Su Lu felt very upset.

If it weren't for the guillotine hanging over his head that he didn't know when it would fall, who would want to work hard?

The wool of the big dog is not white!

Su Lu returned the same year's book to Lao Jiang and returned to the house to start his own calligraphy practice.

Don't really say it, it is worthy of being sent by bigwigs like Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhen, and he looks at it unusually. At the beginning, when Su Zhen practiced calligraphy, he used printed calligraphy, and the strokes and structure were all at the entry level, which was completely incomparable with those in front of him.

The biggest difference is that Ouyang Xun's writing is steep, and he is born with edges and corners that cannot be smoothed. In later generations, many calligraphy brushed out the edges and corners, and the subtle changes between the strokes disappeared and were replaced by formal neatness.

This lost Ouyang Xun's spirit.

Of course, for students who need to practice their words beautifully to cope with the college entrance examination, this neatness is enough.

Su Lu originally felt that his handwriting was quite passable, but after carefully pondering the font sent by Ouyang for a few days, he found out what his problem was. No wonder his words are soft, he just writes neatly, and lacks a little spirit!

Su Lu had this insight, and soon felt the fun of practicing calligraphy, not only at home, but also when he went to Zishantang, he also took the time to practice.

Anyway, I always have to write homework, and I just practice my words by the way.

Now that he's so good at writing, it's time to help him find his soul!

At first, Zhao Zhongyun and Wang Yan didn't notice what Su Lu was doing, but later saw that Su Yan was more than a star and a half more diligent than usual, so Zhao Zhongyan couldn't help but ask: "Have you started practicing calligraphy?" ”

Su Lu nodded solemnly.

He was almost moved by his diligence!

Zhao Zhongjun said: "You only practice at this age, it's a little late." ”

Su Lu stopped writing and looked at him: "At what age did you start practicing calligraphy?" ”

Zhao Zhongjun replied truthfully: "Three years old." ”

Wang Yan responded beside him: "Me too." ”

Su Lu felt that he was being excluded!

Su Lu began to talk to Zhao Zhongjun about science: "This is not good, children's hands are still so small, and it is easy to deform if you hold the pen for a long time!" ”

Zhao Zhongjun and Wang Yan looked at their palms.

"It doesn't seem to be deformed." Zhao Zhongjun told the truth.

"You can't harm children like this anyway." Su Lu insisted on his own opinion.

Zhao Zhongjun said: "Then five or six years old should practice hard." ”

Su Lu's face was sad: "Didn't you expect that there were so many people who judged people by words?" ”

Look at Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhen, after learning that "Fan Jinzhongju" was copied by him, don't marvel at his peerless talent, forget it, and send him a poster to humiliate him!

What's wrong with the ugly word, is there something wrong with the ugly word?

He knows all about it, but his hands can't keep up!

Seeing Su Chen's painful face, Zhao Zhongjun naturally didn't want to say anything, so he only enthusiastically gave Su Lu a new suggestion: "When I was enlightened, my master once said that learning Chinese characters should not be limited to one family, even if it is a specialization in one, you need to see how other families write. Only when the horizon is broad enough can the pen be swayed freely. I have a lot of good copybooks in my hands, and I will bring them to you when I go back, so that you can read and write more! ”

Su Lu: "......"

Thank you so much, bro!
