Xu Guanzhong looked at the book in Jiang De's hand, didn't know what it was, and asked, "Lord, what are you?" ”

Jiang De didn't explain, he flipped it up first, and as soon as he flipped it, he saw the familiar names of the three people.

"He Li? Pan Lianggui? Guo Xiaoyou? It's a coincidence, these three people have all been admitted to this list in history, or maybe, these three people have no chance to take the exam now, so just memorize the articles of these three people. Jiang De just thought about it, and then thought, "No, as the saying goes, songs are poetry, poetry is love, everyone's articles will have their own characteristics, if you directly use the articles of these three people, I'm afraid Cai Jing and others will see at a glance that I am fake." ”

Thinking of this, Jiang De still decided to write it himself, so he found the pages with the title written on it, tore it off, and the rest of the books were re-converted into points, and there was a trace of corpse destruction, and then handed the pieces of paper to Xu Guanzhong and said, "If nothing else, this is the topic of this year's big exam." ”

Xu Guanzhong took it in disbelief, looked up, and said, "My lord... Is this really the topic of today's big competition? If the student guessed correctly, the question of Dabi should not have come out yet. ”

Jiang De scratched his face, to be honest, although the general direction of history has not changed now, many details have been poor, God knows if these topics will change, Jiang De was said by Xu Guanzhong, and also said with some uncertainty "This... There shouldn't be a problem, just prepare according to this topic first, and if there is a problem, then do as you say. ”

Xu Guanzhong nodded, thinking that it was okay, handed the topic to Jiang De and said, "But judging from this topic, it looks like the topic of Dabi, you look at this topic, 'Jia Yi said five baits and three tables, and Ban Gu ridiculed it." However, Qin Mu tried to use it to dominate Xirong, and the Bank of China said that it was also a precept, and it was not invalid, "This is Pingrong, and now the Western Army is fighting with Xixia, and it is extremely appropriate to test this, and then look at this policy, Zhou Liyan is the most detailed agricultural policy, and the sons have the learning of farmers, and try to teach agriculture to the policy." But it is also magnificent, and those who die reading can't answer this question. ”

Jiang De said with a smile, "In fact, how to level Rong and how to value agriculture, most people can say a few words, but it is easier said than done, and it can really be done, but it is very rare." ”

Xu Guanzhong looked at the last scripture, and couldn't help frowning and said, "The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at the highest goodness and righteousness, but this is extremely difficult. ”

As soon as Jiang De heard this, he heard it, in the entire "University", there was such a sentence in the few sentences that Jiang De could recite, but when he heard Xu Guanzhong say that this question was difficult, he couldn't help but ask strangely, "Mr. Xu, this sentence should be the simplest sentence in "University", why does Mr. say that he is difficult?" ”

Xu Guanzhong smiled and said, "Lord, this topic is easy to understand, but because of this, it is the most difficult, because all the people must have a certain understanding of this sentence, so it is not difficult to write it, but it is extremely difficult to write it well. What kind of text does the examiner have to see in order to give a grade A? ”

Jiang De took a breath, indeed, this is probably the later generation of writing college entrance examination essays encountered a "Memory", this topic can be written by anyone, but it is a topic that anyone can write, and it is the most difficult to write well.

Xu Guanzhong walked around twice and said, "This sentence is the opening sentence of "University", Ming Mingde, close to the people, and stop at the best, these three words can be said to be the three outlines of the entire "University". ”

Jiang De nodded, took the pen and ink, thought about it, and began to write, the ancient imperial examination answers are required, such as the theory, not only to write their own opinions, but also from other scriptures to find arguments to support their own views, such as Su Shi 20 years old when the imperial examination was written, on the successive use of "Zuo Chuan", "Shangshu", "Book of Songs" in the three major scriptures to support their own views, if you want to compare, probably when later generations write essays, use famous quotes to support their own views, in fact, to put it bluntly, or nothing new under the sun, for thousands of years, everyone writes articles are the same thing.

There is Xu Guanzhongzhong, Jiang De did not first look for a statement that could support his own point of view, but directly wrote the views and strategies first, and wrote about Pingrong, Jiang De knew that at this time, both Zhao Ji and Cai Jing were the main battle faction on the issue of Western Xia, the difference is probably that Zhao Ji is an emotional main battle, but Cai Jing is somewhat rational, and to be honest, the national strength of Western Xia is indeed in constant decline, because of the long-term economic blockade of the Song State, the current Western Xia can be said to be poorer than when the country was founded in the past. After all, the most valuable green salt in Western Xia can't be sold openly, of course, there is still smuggling, but a country's economy cannot be solved by smuggling.

The five baits and three tables mentioned in the title are the defensive strategies proposed by Jiayi of the Western Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu problem in the north. The three tables are the righteousness, the state of love, and the skills of good people, and the five baits are the gift of the prosperous service car multiplied by the bad purpose; Give them food and delicacies to spoil their mouths; The woman who gave him music spoiled his ears; Give it to the high hall and the Yu Mansion to destroy its belly. To put it bluntly, it is to soften the will of the enemy, and turn the enemy who was as fierce and cunning as a wolf into a lazy and lazy pig like a pig, this is actually the ancient version of a sugar-coated cannonball, to say that this is useful? Of course it worked, even in later generations, sugar-coated shells were poured by a dozen people.

But if you want to defeat the enemy with this alone, it is also a dream, to put it bluntly, these are just means to soften and weaken the enemy, and if you want to really defeat the enemy, you still have to rely on blood and iron.

Therefore, Jiang De first affirmed the effectiveness of his strategy, and then pointed out the shortcomings, and with a little embellishment, it was done, and as for the arguments of the scriptures, let Xu Guanzhong think about it.

Looking at the strategy of teaching agriculture, this is simply easy for Jiang De. Jiang De himself is constantly experimenting with agricultural technology in the villages near Liangshan, and he picked a few and threw them up, that is, in fact, for other candidates, this question is very difficult, you must know that although it is said that the poor are rich and martial, and the cultivation and reading heirlooms, most of them have no experience in agriculture, and can only talk about it, and it is impossible to put forward any new insights, such as from the improvement of various agricultural tools to the selection of good seeds, from the promotion of technology to ensure the stability of food prices, although these views are window paper, but it is extremely difficult to pierce, Most of the moves will only be from the perspective of persuading farmers, which can be described as extremely empty.

By the time Jiang De finished writing the two articles, two hours had passed, Jiang De looked at Xu Guanzhong and found that he had changed a lot of places in his first article, and said with a smile, "Mr. has worked hard, what can you say about that piece of scripture?" ”

Xu Guanzhong saw that Jiang De had written the second article, put down the pen and nodded and said, "Lord, a little idea, Confucianism has three outlines and eight eyes in the "University", Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, and righteousness are internal cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world are external governance, and self-cultivation is the hub connecting the two. ”

Jiang De thought about it, gritted his teeth and wrote a paragraph, and handed it to Xu Guanzhong to read, Xu Guanzhong looked at it, sighed and said, "Lord, forgive the students for being blunt, it's a mediocre work." ”

Jiang De frowned and thought about it, and finally threw the pen away with a smile and said, "That's it, so be it, I'm not good at this way of scripture, with you to help me repair it, the results shouldn't be too bad, anyway, I don't really want to take the top test." ”

Xu Guanzhong saw that Jiang De was free and easy, and said with a smile, "The lord is a real hero, since this is the case, please let the students carefully groom for one night, and hand it over to the lord tomorrow." ”

Jiang De yawned, found that it was indeed a little late, said a hard word, and went to rest first, and the next day, Jiang De walked into Xu Guanzhong's room after brushing his teeth, and saw Xu Guanzhong's eyes red, and couldn't help but say with some blame, "Mr. Xu, why didn't you really sleep all night, don't you still have time, have you forgotten how Zhuge Liang of Shu Han lost to Sima Yi?" ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile, "Doesn't the lord still have time to memorize it, it's already good, I'll transcribe it again so that the lord can read it." As he spoke, he handed three pieces of rice paper to Jiang De, and then sighed, "I just hope that these three questions are really as the lord said, and they are the questions of this year's big exam." ”

Jiang De looked at the neat font, the same small block as the printed, and was a little moved in his heart, and pulled Xu Guanzhong and said, "You are worried about these things, you drink a bowl of millet porridge first, and then go to sleep immediately, don't think about anything else today, let me complete the task of carrying this thing." ”

Saying that, Jiang De asked Li Zhong to inform Chef Gao to make a bowl of millet porridge and send it, Xu Guanzhong bowed and said, "Then work hard, the students will go to rest first." ”

With Xu Guanzhong's revision, Jiang De's article can be regarded as a person in this era, and other people also know that Jiang De is about to have a big competition, so they don't come to look for him, and even Qionglou's opera has been suspended for two days to prevent the noise from Jiang De, and the angry Zhao Ji is more anxious than Jiang De at this time, and he almost has to notify the Ministry of Rites in advance.

"Tell me, this Jiang Xiaolang took the imperial examination, why did it bring disaster to me? Even the teacher and the girl said that they couldn't see me for the past two days, and they had to wait for Jiang Xiaolang to finish the exam, and said that they wanted to pray for him, this..."Zhao Ji waved the paper fan desperately, as if there was really a fire burning in his chest.

Liang Shicheng next to him said with a smile, "Official, I think I'm afraid that Jiang Xiaolang himself is too nervous, causing others to be nervous too, do you say that Jiang Xiaolang's ability is necessary to be so anxious?" ”

Zhao Ji snorted, hit the fan on his hand, and said, "Who said no, this time the big competition, anyone can not go, this Jiang De must be admitted, otherwise, this teacher girl doesn't know what kind of sadness will become, the more she talks, the more angry she becomes, and the girl who is Yi Fengnu, just now I want me to accompany me to pray for that Jiang De, who am I!" I'm an official, is there an official family in this world who made a wish to Sanqing to let a person be lifted? ”

Liang Shicheng laughed and said, "Yes, if you want me to say, the master girl might as well make a wish to the official family, the official family is a god descended from heaven, and her status in the sky is not lower than that of Sanqing." Official, since the teacher and girl are not available, why don't you go to Fan Lou? ”

Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm not in the mood today, let's go back to the palace." ”

The two talked all the way back to the palace, and in the evening, Cai Jing got the news, he touched his nose and said to Cai Qian, "See?" This kid is a blessed man, this big competition, as long as he doesn't write a blank paper, someone will find a way to let him win. ”

Cai Qian wiped his cold sweat and said, "Daddy, I thought of the tiger head, he offended Master Li and Yi Fengnu at that time, fortunately, he didn't provoke him again after being scolded by me, looking at the favor of the two of them today, you can know the consequences." ”

Cai Jing narrowed his eyes, sighed and said, "He is not like you at all, he is really spoiled, I asked him where the rice came from a few days ago, and he actually said that it came from a rice bag.... If this continues, how will you get it in the future? ”

Cai Qian comforted Cai Jing and said, "Daddy has to worry, wait a few days to talk to the official family, give him a grace, and he will definitely keep him safe for the rest of his life." ”

Cai Jing shook his head and said, "People have unforeseen circumstances, I want to be that high-minded, I finally recognized a son, but I was cut by someone at that point, and the wound gold poison invaded the body, and in the end I could only castrate, so that now people are not people, ghosts are not ghosts, and he himself is angry and took the initiative to invite him to the Western Army to supervise the army, so that he can change his eyes and not be upset, how much the tiger head likes to associate with him in the past, who knows what will happen in the future." ”

Maybe it's because he's getting older, and now Cai Jing is more and more worried about the affairs of his children and grandchildren, he is already sixty-eight at this time, counting from Shang Tang, how many people are still in charge of the government at sixty-eight? Well, Jiang Shang is one, how can he be surnamed Jiang again?

Cai Juan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Cai Jing, Cai Jing said, "I've been thinking recently, I'm waiting for the rich, one is sharing worries for Your Majesty, and the other is looking for joy for Your Majesty, and the most important thing is the flower stone gang in the southeast, or I still have to stare at some." ”

Cai Qian sighed in his heart, he knew that Cai Jing was talking about the father and son of the Zhu family who were increasingly disobedient to Cai Jing's words, but what could it be, others thought that the flowers and stones that Zhao Ji liked were selected by Cai Jing, and they all said that Cai Jing knew the Sacred Heart best, but in fact? Where Cai Jing went to choose, they were all selected by the Zhu family father and son, and it was the father and son who really understood Zhao Ji's preferences, and what made Cai Qian feel helpless the most was that the father and son had never even seen Zhao Ji's face a few times, but they could follow Cai Jing's description to ponder Zhao Ji's pursuit of artistic beauty so thoroughly, but it was a skill.

Thinking of this, Cai Qian suddenly thought of a person and said, "By the way, Dad, there was a person who came to the door to pay a visit recently, you are not there, I shirked it first, but that person came to the door every day, saying that there was a big matter to discuss." ”

Cai Jing sighed and asked, "Who is it, what is the matter?" ”

Cai Qian replied, "It's a man named Meng Changling, who said that it was a matter of Da Ling Mountain, and it was related to Dahe." ”

"Big River? Since ancient times, there is no trivial matter in the big river, immediately let him come to see me, I remember that there are often floods in Da Ling Mountain, and the Buddha was used to suppress it during the Northern Wei Dynasty in the past, this person said here, probably there is really something. When it comes to business, Cai Jing is still extremely shrewd, and immediately reacted and said.

Cai Qian answered, and went to call someone to pass it on.
