Coming out of Baihualou, it was already late at night when I returned to the Mei Mansion, and the lights in the Mei Mansion were all extinguished, but Mei Gongbo's study was still on.

Cao Wei was more moved in his heart, most of the powerful people in this world are in high positions, but they oppress those poor people they think are poor, obviously eating the food produced by the people's labor in the bowl, but they dislike the vulgarity of labor.

Fortunately, there are people like Mei Gongbo, this kind of people are stubborn and do not give up easily, ignore interests and value people's livelihood, dare to speak and do, how fortunate the people are to have them.

Cao Wei walked into the study, saw Mei Gongbo drinking tea, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and bowed to Mei Gongbo and said, "The teacher hasn't fallen asleep so late, could it be that he is enjoying the Spring Palace alone?" ”

"Poof!" Mei Gongbo pointed at Cao Wei and scolded with a smile: "Not a son of man, not a son of man!" My Mei Gongbo is an upright official and a serious person, how can there be a student like you who is full of nonsense and is used to being casual! ”

Mei Gongbo thought about it for a while, and felt that his discipline of the students was insufficient, and he didn't even know what Cao Wei was going to do in the future, so he said: "The imperial examination is the way for scribes to be officials, and those who read must study the Four Books and Five Classics hard to increase their knowledge, get the way to govern the country and the people, and cultivate themselves to increase their virtues."

Reading for more than ten years, once the title of the gold list is in front of the Golden Palace kowtow Xie Longen, and then ask for the people's life, the herdsmen are in the wild, the people are grateful for virtue, the few read its benefits, and more are built to live in the ancestral hall, reading is very fortunate, and the cultivation of virtue is so? ”

"Yes." Cao Wei replied very respectfully, in fact, what will happen to the Ming Dynasty after studying, and the road to the development of officials, he knew it as early as in his previous life, but Mei Gongbo's mention is a love for him, so he has to listen to it well.

Mei Gongbo continued: "Then read! Study! How many scholars have died of old age, how many green silk have been dyed white, the difficulty of the imperial examination, and the words are not enough. The hospital test is a show, the township test is a lift, and the palace test is a jinshi. Xiucai takes one in a hundred, and it is also one in a hundred miles, and when it comes to the entrance examination, it is a character who picks one out of ten thousand, and in the end, eight or nine out of ten are hopeless Longmen, and there are only more than 100 people in front of the palace. ”

Cao Wei was secretly speechless, he only knew that the imperial examination was difficult before, but he didn't know that he was so perverted.

"There is also a three-class after the examination, the first three people are called Jinshi and the first, second-class Jinshi origin, and the third class is the same Jinshi background.

The top three are all Jinshi but completely different, the first class is either a Jishi, or working in the capital, and the promotion is not beyond the reach of others. The second class is placed between the large counties of Fuxiang, and the main pastor is a county. The top three are appointed in the poor countryside, remote counties, or not as the chief official, but only as the county lieutenant and the chief bookkeeper......" Du Hong said and stopped.

The corners of Qin Kan's mouth quietly hooked up a smile.

Yes, the teacher was born in the second class of Hongzhi in the fifth year, but he was assigned to a poor country, and he also ran into the toast to make trouble, which is not as good as the treatment of the top three, not ordinary bad luck, worthy of the name of the history of mold.

Mei Gongbo saw the smile on the corner of Cao Wei's mouth, knowing that Cao Wei was about to have a seizure when he laughed at himself, Cao Wei hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thank you teacher for mentioning the difficulty of the imperial examination for the students, and it is difficult to go to the sky." Reading so many books is very likely to waste time, so it is better to give up early.

As the saying goes, those who know the times are junjie, and there is a saying, life is like being pricked by a needle, if you can't resist, then enjoy it......"

The corners of Mei Gongbo's eyes twitched, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know whether to praise Cao Wei's good mentality, or to despise Cao Wei for being completely spineless.

How did this showman get tested?

"Look at your ......" Mei Gongbo sighed heavily, angry.

Cao Wei really didn't know what to say, since the teacher told him that the imperial examination was so difficult, and it was very likely to do useless work, didn't he just want to give up? It's so difficult to study, where is that piece of material, let alone a halfway monk, how can you compare to those natives and perverts who pick up an awl and pierce their thighs.

In fact, Mei Gongbo told Cao Wei about the difficulty of the imperial examination in order to stimulate Cao Wei's inner unwillingness and determination to work hard. Don't they all say that talented young people are proud? You are so famous with two Yongmei poems, why don't you play according to the routine?

What Mei Gongbo doesn't know is where Cao Wei has the mentality of a scholar, if reading Xiaohuangshu is also a reader, then Cao Wei is a senior reader.

"Xiude, tell the old man, what are your plans for the future?"

Looking at Mei Gongbo's inquiring look, Cao Wei suddenly remembered that when he went on a blind date in his previous life, the woman's parents also asked: What are the young man's plans for the future? When to buy a house and a car? When to have a second child......

"Teacher, the ideal of the student, you don't understand, the teacher is a post-1460s, and the student is a post-80s, there is a difference of 20 years, there is a generation gap between us, and the gap is very deep." Cao Wei sighed and said.

"What ditch?"

"The generation gap means that there is a gap in thought, not on the same level."

Mei Gongbo sneered: "Then you should tell me, what are you thinking about that you can't figure out for the teacher?" ”

Cao Wei sighed again and said, "Teacher, have you seen the moon in the sky, it's a ball, the moon doesn't shine, and now the light emitted above it is the light reflected by the sun, and the moon is not a smooth surface, there are potholes everywhere." Moreover, the ground on which we are standing is also a ball. ”

“……”

"It's too far to say, let's talk about what's happening on this ball where we're standing right now. There is a plate on this ball, and among them there is a plate called Europe, in this plate, the Age of Discovery, several monkeys opened up new routes, early colonization activities were carried out in Europe, colonialism, mercantilism rose in Europe.

European colonizers plundered a large amount of wealth in the Americas, formed the initial primitive accumulation of capital, triggered the commercial revolution and the price revolution, and promoted the development of capitalism in Europe and the decline of the feudal class. ”

“……”

"There is also a plate called Africa, there are still more monkeys in this plate, and the tribes are so poor that they don't even wear clothes, have no moral bottom line, and don't know how to be polite and honest."

"......" Mei Gongbo was about to collapse, Cao Wei said that he was right, except that the moon on the ground and in the sky is a ball, the others are not like nonsense, Mei Gongbo has seen foreign countries come to pay tribute, and he is indeed dressed shabby, and his body hair is vigorous, like a monkey more than a human......

"So what are your ideals?" Mei Gongbo asked with wide eyes.

"The students want to sail out from the East, rob a group of monkeys from the West, and then sail back from the West in a circle." Cao Wei said excitedly.

Mei Gongbo tugged at his beard and asked uncertainly, "You want to rob a group of monkeys?" ”

Cao Wei said with a sad face: "Forget it, teacher!" Let's talk about something that happened in the near future, the teacher knows about the drunken immortal brew, Pan Fu is the big owner of the drunken immortal brew, and the student has also invested in the drunken immortal brew, but Shen Yun, the son of the Shen family in Liuquan Valley, wants to seek the drunken immortal brew, and asks the teacher to help. ”

Mei Gongbo was kind, but he didn't allow others to bully his family and students, and then sneered: "Don't worry, as long as he dares to show his moves, the old man will follow!" ”

"Doesn't the teacher ask about the cause and effect of things?"

"No need, although you are lazy and lazy, I can still trust you."

Cao Wei's heart is warm again, although such a teacher is a bit stereotypical, but he is the most humane, such a teacher deserves to be better to him.

"Teacher, I still have a few pictures of the Spring Palace in my house, I can lend them to the teacher......"
