[The festival is changed again, ask for a ticket, I want to apologize to my book friends, I was dizzy when I wrote before, it was supposed to be the forty-sixth year of Wanli and there were only county exams and government exams, because it was the year of the township test, and the hospital test was not until the second year, so the previous dialogue was slightly adjusted, and it did not affect the overall plot reading]

Previously, there were candidates who had just entered the hall who were making noise in the examination room because of their seats and exam papers, and some who were wearing again were in a hurry to walk into the courtyard, and the instructor was scolded in the room, and they all quieted down.

The bamboo shed is not stable, that is, because there is no rain in early spring, but it is also considered to be leaking on all sides. The long examination table was pulled under the bamboo canopy, but several candidates occupied a table apart.

The remnants of the soldiers who were temporarily transferred from the county government to serve in the guard began to patrol around the examination room with signs, and next to the four signs, they followed the scribes who had been on roll call as they walked and shouted.

"Everyone understands it, one question is 'Yi Di Zhi You', and the other question is 'How to De'."

Some candidates have bad eyes and are concentrating on looking at the question card in the distance, and when they hear the question, they are in an uproar, which is probably beyond the conjecture before the exam. It's good that this question is in other places, but this is the examination room of Xingui County, and less than ten miles out of Guiyang City is the boundary of Yidi walking around, and immediately some Hanyi candidates secretly wondered if the examiner's anger was heavier this time.

The four-sided question plate was held around the hall for two weeks, and then it was sent to the declaration booth in the middle of the examination room to stand around it, so that the candidates could see it from a distance.

Wang Xingping first looked at the text and then heard the shouting, and his mind turned to find the source of the two titles, the previous sentence 'Yi Di Zhi You' came from a well-known sentence in the "Analects", 'Yi Di Zhi Youjun, it is not as good as the death of Zhu Xia. The latter title is from Mencius: 'How to be virtuous can be king.' This sentence.

These two topics are truncated small questions, that is, the first half of the sentence in the four books is deliberately broken into the topic, which is a very common way to ask questions at this time, the title of the eight strands of the text must come from the four books, the four books have limited Chinese characters, since the early Ming Dynasty after the revival of the imperial examination, the topic has long been used almost, since then there have been clever to come up with the truncation topic, this truncated question is to cut off the first half of the sentence in the four books to form the topic. There is also a tricky combination of the second half of the previous sentence and the first half of the next sentence, which becomes a topic that does not make sense, which is called a topic, for example, Wang Xingping saw a topic called "not also say that there are friends" in the previous study of the text, that is, in the "Analects" in the "learn and learn it, don't you also say it?" Have friends come from afar, aren't they gentlemen? A sentence is cut off and synthesized into a sentence, which seems to be incoherent but also needs to be solved by the candidates, but such questions usually do not appear in the county examination and the government examination.

In short, the questions issued by the examiner are all questions, which is equivalent to someone asking you this question, and the candidates should substitute the thinking of the sage, 'If you are Confucius and Meng, how will you answer', so in addition to the four books, especially the allusions that occurred after Confucius and Mencius, in principle, cannot be included in the text. It is a folk proverb that says that if you make an art, it is also appropriate.

The question of the art is taken from the four books, and the examiner takes a sentence, a word or even a word from it, and today this question can only be regarded as normal.

But the latter question is okay, the former question can be said in other provinces, but if the word Yidi is placed in the examination room in Guizhou, it is really unreasonable to say that the examiner has no deep meaning.

On the surface, it seems that this topic is to ask about the benefits of barbarians, but Wang Xingping thought about it carefully and came back to his senses, it seems that the county master Zhang, who has been here for less than a year, is really not willing to be lonely.

Although Futai also has some dealings with the county officials because of business matters on weekdays, but after all, Xingui County is a new county that was established in the fourteenth year of Wanli, and it is the product of many years of conflict with the local government. And Zhang Dahua, the commander of Xingui County, is a native of Qijiang, Sichuan, and a Gongsheng of Nanjing Guozijian, strictly speaking, he can't even be counted as a lifter, and he is the deputy list of the deputy list, and if he is compared with Ma Shiying, there are still two levels in the middle.

Therefore, although this old man Zhang is nearly half a hundred years old, he only has to be a county magistrate, and he is replaced by a young talent like Ma Shiying, which is just the starting point of his future career as a eunuch.

Different circumstances naturally have different mentalities, Wang Xing said calmly that this old man is mostly looking at the good news of the official army this year and the attitude of the ministers and wants to have a knot, and it is also a shame that he can think of making a fuss about this exam question. If you want to come to this Guiyang Mansion, I'm afraid that only this upstart county can try to get this old man to call the shots.

The chief examiner of the county examination is the magistrate, from the question to the invigilation to the marking of the paper, the county order is the master, the county teacher and others are just assisting from the side, he naturally wants to work hard from the word Yidi, so as to show that he is also a Zhengchen who advocates changing the land and returning to the stream, and can get Zhang Fujun's blue eyes.

But this question is too much, after all, there are Tusi children among the candidates, and 'Yidi' accounts for at least more than 30% of today's county test members.

Wang Xingping has naturally always advocated changing the land and returning to the stream, and he has always been tough on Miao Wei and Tusi who dare to be chaotic places, not only actively participating in the suppression, but often taking advantage of the fire to rob, but that is his action, he does not plan to do things that are pleasant on his lips, let alone decorate for others. Therefore, it only took a moment for Wang Xingping to think about the first article, the so-called problem is to use two sentences to concisely explain the answer to the question, which is the most critical point of an eight-strand article. The county exam is okay, there are not many candidates, and when it comes to the township exam, there are often thousands of candidates, and the exam papers are the same.

Because the test questions are always from the four books, the questions will inevitably be weird and tricky. Just as Wang Xingping had seen one in the text he had studied before, the title was 'Zi Yue', which was the most common word in the four books, and he remembered that the title of that article was 'Pifu and a hundred masters, and a word for the law of the world', the previous sentence pointed to the word 'Zi', and the next sentence pointed to the word 'said', and the meaning of this word in the classics was vivid and clear, which can be described as a classic.

Probably conceived the article, but Wang Xingping was not in a hurry, he looked around and immediately found that a few candidates behaved differently, it seemed that there was an entrainment that had not been found out, but he still couldn't find a clue, it was actually difficult to cheat in the eight-strand Shiwen, unless someone directly asked the gunman to come in to help write it as in the previous exam, otherwise this disadvantage still can't be done.

However, the upstart county government is not big, and there is no high platform built in the examination room for lookout, which makes it convenient for these candidates to cheat.

Wang Xingping looked at it and smiled, then stopped paying attention to these people's performances, and instead thought about his own affairs at the examination table.

At present, although the iron factory has made achievements in the military industry, but there is no clue about the coinage, a craftsman is still to be recruited, and the second is a lack of copper, this coinage is a big business, and after the exam, the money-making business must be started as soon as possible, otherwise the business will be variable.

There are also powerful people from Shiqian Mansion who need to go on a trip, and this trade route is now particularly important to his business layout.

Shiqian Mansion is in the northeast of Guizhou, and when it comes to resources, I am afraid that there are quite a lot of resources in the province at present.

The three barbarian chiefs of the county under the jurisdiction of the whole government are the big mansions that produce coal and iron in Guizhou, the coal of the Miao Min Division, and the coal and iron of the Shiqian Division are mostly semi-open-pit deposits, plus the cotton of the Ge Zhangge Shang Division, the three kinds of goods can be purchased along the Wujiang River valley, and the road of more than 300 miles can be transported to Guiyang in only half a month, and whether the goods are taken to the Maoli shop in the north or the cotton ferry in the south, they will eventually arrive at the cattle breeding valley first, which is the reason why Wang Xingping wanted to occupy this place at the beginning. At present, there is a trade route in Zunyi Province that can solve the problem of salt and some pig iron, and if you add coal and iron ore from Shiqian Province, the supply of goods for the business and the iron factory will be more secure.

And this Shiqian Mansion to Guiyang freight road also has to pass through the Pingyue Province of Weng'an County, Weng'an County is Wanli 28 years after the Pingyang Yinglong Rebellion will be Banzhou changed to land and returned to the stream one of the results of the two, when Zunyi Mansion was assigned to Sichuan, the following year and to urn water, Caotang two pacification division and Pingyue Wei right Ganping, Ganxi, Solo and other fifteen forts combined for Weng'an County. Although this Weng'an County is poor, but there is no shortage of a good thing, the local mountain keel, this is still heard before the former Dr. Ni Zhumo from afar inadvertently mentioned, Ni Zhumo specially traveled to the southwest for the compilation of medical classics, and visited many famous doctors in Sichuan before, so as to understand the origin of authentic medicinal materials in Sichuan. However, this news evokes Wang Xingping's indifferent memory in his previous life, most of the phosphate mines on the mainland are in the southwestern provinces, especially in Guizhou, and the phosphate mines in Guizhou are the most around Weng'an, coal, iron, cotton, phosphorus, these are all things that Wang Xingping needs. Coal and iron are needed to make weapons, cotton is needed to make military uniforms, and phosphate ore is more useful in fertile fields in addition to making military firearms. Although Wang Xingping was not from agronomy in his previous life, the three names of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium have long been remembered.

The three kinds of fertilizer needed to grow crops, nitrogen fertilizer can rely on leguminous plant rotation to solve, although the ancients did not understand much, but the method is even illiterate old farmers know how to use. The potash fertilizer has been solved, the carnallite associated with the salt well in Sichuan is a good potash fertilizer, and it is not very valuable, and now the phosphate fertilizer channel is also available, and the construction of the tuntian system of the Jierong Institute has hope. Modern agriculture is far superior to the ancient dependence on in addition to seed selection, breeding, the biggest advantage is fertilizer, although the purification of potassium fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer may not be able to do it in the short term, but even if you want to waste some fertility, it is better than not doing anything, this is Wang Xingping's wishful thinking.

After Wang Xingping finished thinking about these things, he began to conceive two more articles, and before he realized that it was over, he suddenly felt a little hungry in his stomach. He first took the exam paper away to make room, took out a sea bowl from the exam basket and straightened it, and poured all the chicken soup in the clay pot into it. He took out a delicate food box, and after opening it, there were several small plates inside, and they were released one by one, each with raw quail eggs, meat slices, fish slices, vegetables and vegetables, bean sprouts, etc., and finally a handful of rice noodles.

He took out his chopsticks and put all the dishes in the bowl into the bowl, let the chicken soup submerge the vegetables, and waited intently when the chicken fat on the soup gathered again.

Zhang Dahua sat tired in the hall, wandering around the examination room by himself, watching the candidates answer the questions, sometimes shaking his head and sometimes being pleased, but he happened to be attracted by a burst of aroma to Wang Xingping's examination table.

'It's really exquisite'.

Mrs. Zhang saw the cups, plates and bowls on Wang Xingping's table, and his heart was funny, he naturally recognized Wang Xingping, and knew about the past affairs of this young master, and now he saw that he was different from other candidates, and he actually had a big meal in the examination room, and he didn't know what that big bowl was, but it was quite fragrant.

Wang Xingping had just put a bowl of rice noodles with ingredients into his stomach, and he happened to look up and see Zhang Dahua, so he quickly got up and made a move.

"The student has seen the county honor."

Zhang Dahua nodded, but his eyes were on his exam paper, which was still a blank piece of paper, and he said in his heart that this kid was inevitably entrusted, and in the past, candidates for the exam would write it down first when they thought of it, and then take a blank transcript when it was finally written. Looking at Wang Xingping's posture, he is either unlearned and has no way to write, or he is really confident and confident, and it seems that the latter is the most likely at the moment, after all, his bowl of soup has just been stomached, but it doesn't look like he is anxious and sad about his spleen and stomach, thinking of this, he said: "There is still more than an hour to put the first card, Tiancheng Mo doesn't want to eat dinner and then leave?" ”。

The so-called first card, is the time to hand in the exam papers, a day of the exam, even if the first finish of the paper can not get out of the examination room, to wait until the end of the time to go out, not the end of the first card, after the Shen and then put two cards, until the time of the dark is not allowed to answer. Generally speaking, most of the rolls that can be won will be handed in the first and second cards, and almost all of them are in their own hearts and bottomless until the end.

Wang Xingping thanked Zhang Dahua for his suggestion, quickly moved the dishes and chopsticks aside, lifted the ink pen and began to solve the problem.

'Is there a distinction between men and fowls between the inside and outside of the earth?' ’
