The boat is on the water, the lake breeze is gentle, and although it is summer, I don't feel much heat. Sitting in the cabin, Zhou Tong took advantage of the time to travel the boat, and instructed Gu Haotian in martial arts. He admires this disciple from the bottom of his heart, with high understanding, good spirituality, and enough toughness, and in more than half a year, his martial arts progress has reached the level of other disciples for one or two years, and now his marksmanship is enough to compete with Zhou Yunqing, and the close-range martial arts Fengyun Eighteen Swords that he later learned are also close to Dacheng. Because of this, Zhou Tong often thought of the pills of Erxian Mountain, and couldn't help but have the idea of visiting Luo Zhenren in time.

"I will go here for the teacher, I don't know how many years I will return, although Yunqing is your senior brother, but he is upright and not good at change, you don't need to scruple, you have to teach him more."

Zhou Tong had always taken Zhou Yunqing with him before, and after arriving in Liangshan, Zhou Yunqing completely dissolved into the Liangshan system, and he was much more mature and strong, as a father, he was naturally pleased, so he left him on the mountain this time.

"Senior brother is both civil and military, and the disciple will rely on him in the future, and he will ask him for more advice."

"You don't have to be humble, you are better than him in dealing with people, but Yunqing has a bow and arrow, but he has already achieved a few achievements, I see that there is no one who is good at archery on your mountain, and he is also competent to teach bows and arrows."

"Senior brother is now a bow and arrow teacher on the mountain, and the brothers admire it tightly."

After Crouching Tiger Village won the bow and arrow, Gu Haotian drew people to learn, but he suffered from the lack of clever teaching, and then Zhou Yunqing volunteered, but he was shocked as soon as he made a move.

Zhou Tong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, thinking that this kid was still a strong character after all, and then took out a bronze tiger head pendant from his arms and handed it to Gu Haotian.

"I still have a thing here for you to put away, this is a token of the master, each of your senior brothers has one, if they meet on a different day, they will recognize each other by this."

"The disciple thanked the master."

Gu Haotian took it respectfully, but he had a question in his heart that confused his past life and this life, he was too curious, and finally asked it.

"Master, I don't know how many senior brothers the disciple has, so that the disciple can know in his heart, and he will be lucky enough to see him in the future, so as not to be embarrassed."

How many apprentices does Zhou Tong have, and future generations are inconsistent, and today the real person is in front, of course he wants to find out.

"The matter of the master is that the master originally wanted to inform you, before you, there were three people in the door. Your elder brother's name is Lu Junyi, a native of Beijing, good at sticks, known as "Jade Qilin", he has a wide range of land, does not want to be an official, and is now a rich man at home; The second senior brother is named Lin Chong, who is now a leader in the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, a rare opponent with a gun, and also has the name of "leopard head"; The third senior brother is called Shi Wengong, he is skilled in bows and horses, and his martial arts are extraordinary, but it's a pity that he is too strong, alas, don't say it, if you meet him in the future, you will say that he is not to blame for his mistakes back then. ”

Zhou Tong stroked his white beard, groaned, and continued.

"In addition to these three people, there are three people who have been taught by the old man, but they are not included in the door wall, one of them is Luan Tingyu, this person is loyal, indifferent by nature, and has more than a year by the teacher's side, but unfortunately he returned to his hometown after his mother's funeral, and he has not returned for some reason, otherwise he will become your fourth senior brother; The second is that Sun Li once taught him the skill of a gun, and later went to Dengzhou with my old friend Zong Ze; In addition, Wu Song Wu Erlang of Qinghe County once taught him the leg method. These three people did not have the tokens of the master, but Luan Tingyu and Sun Li knew the tokens of the master, but Wu Erlang did not know. ”

Gu Haotian only understood at this time, but when he thought that these cattle were his senior brothers, his heart was hot again.

The master and apprentice chatted with each other, and unconsciously the boat arrived at the Gujiazhuang wharf, and Zhou Dong still drove the ox cart into the village and went by himself. Gu Haotian knew that he couldn't keep him, so he had to send him to the intersection, respectfully saluted, and watched him go away.

In Gujiazhuang, at this time, Gu Bo just learned from Bian Xiang that the little official transferred him back to Liangshan, and he was immediately excited, last time in order to get rid of him, he recruited more than 30 new team members, a month of training, and now there is a certain foundation, I thought I would have to stay up for two months, who would have thought that good things would come like this.

"Gu Bo, you take the two brothers to send this letter to the county office, hand it over to Zhu Tong, and bother him to present it to Lord Xu."

Gu Bo was happy, but he heard Gu Haotian calling him outside, he ran over to take the letter, and took people to live in the county seat.

Gu Haotian went to see Gu Zhen and asked about the last visit to Xu Zhi County, and the father and son had lunch together and went back to the East Wing to rest. Pan Jinlian came back in the morning, pouring tea and water for the master and apprentice along the way, and now seeing the little official come in in the wing, I can't help but think of the shameful thing again, last night the little official was unbridled with her, so that she almost fell, if it wasn't for the little official's self-control, I'm afraid ...... Momentarily hot on the face.

After the lunch break, Gu Haotian instructed the training of more than 30 new recruits, and in the evening Gu Bo came back, and he brought Xu Churen's handwritten reply, asking him to meet in the back office tomorrow.

For this elder, whether it is the understanding from the history books in the previous life, or the direct contact in this life, Gu Haotian respects it from the bottom of his heart. That night, Gu Haotian made serious preparations for tomorrow's meeting, and when the gift was on the mountain, he had already selected some ancient books of calligraphy and painting, and he mainly made some thoughts about the autumn and autumn things that he wanted to ask, so as not to appear shallow when he got it.

In this month, he ran around, and he didn't have time to calm down and ask Wen Huanzhang about the imperial examination, but he learned intermittently that the imperial examination in this era basically continued the system of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Among them, the Jinshi branch is the best, and the Jinshi is very optimistic about his career in the future, and he can often climb to the high position of Zaifu, followed by the Ming Jing, which refers to the unified examination of all the scriptures, and the other small subjects know at a glance that even if he is in the examination, he is only a small business officer for life, and it is difficult to grasp the power. If you use the analogy of the college entrance examination in later generations, Jinshi is a "985" college, Mingjing is a general undergraduate, and the others are junior colleges.

The content of the examination is basically the same as that of the college examination, and the content of the examination is poetry, scripture, theory, policy, and scripture and Moyi. Comparing the examination forms of later generations, it goes without saying that poems and fu are self-sufficient, and the meaning of the scriptures, theories, and strategies are actually propositional compositions, and the scriptures are similar to filling in the blanks, and the meaning of ink is similar to noun explanations.

Gu Haotian carefully thought about some of the information about the imperial examination that he had obtained when he talked with Wen Huanzhang and Xiao Rang recently. He feels that with his current memory, there is no problem in reading and reciting, and the key is to master the method and format of answering questions, as well as the key points of the exam.

Yunxian County Ya, Gu Haotian came to the back office early to wait, and when Xu Churen came in after handling official business, it was just the right time.

"Let Haotian wait for a long time, the injury is very good." Xu Churen asked with concern as soon as he entered the door.

"I'm tired of worrying about adults, but now it's a good thing." Gu Haotian replied while handing over the gift.

"Haotian has a heart." Xu Churen did not shirk it, and carefully observed these ancient books of calligraphy and painting, but he liked it very much.

After that, the two sat down to drink tea and talk, Xu Zhixian said the whole story of Gu Haotian's assassination, he sighed, like Wu County Lieutenant, an old official, the character is so unbearable, if the imperial court salaries are all such people, the country is also worried, but in the end, the wind changed, talking about the imperial examination.

"Now that the traitors of the court are in charge, and the officialdom is rampant, supporting justice and relieving the people, a young and promising person like Xu Haotian is coming, you have a plan." Xu Churen looked at Gu Haotian and said eagerly.

"The kid also has the intention of participating in the autumn festival, but his knowledge is shallow, and I am afraid that he will be disappointed by the love of adults."

"I already know your knowledge, and it is more than enough to participate in the interpretation test, and the key is how to use your knowledge to make an essay that the examiner appreciates. In the early stage of the imperial examination, I emphasized poetry and light scriptures and theories, and now it is the opposite, but it is heavy policy, discussion and light poetry, I view Haotian has extraordinary views on the current situation, economy, and people's livelihood, and only need to know how to compose. ”

In the course of the exchanges a few days ago, some of Gu Haotian's views on the current situation and people's livelihood often caused Xu Churen's shock and deep thought.

"Mr. Wen has also taught some methods of composition, but he has been away from Tokyo for a long time, and he does not know much about the key points of the current scientific examination and the temperament of the examiner.

The imperial examinations of the ancients were different from the college entrance examinations of later generations, and their examination questions were often written by one person, so it is very important to understand the person who wrote the questions.

"At present, the prefect of Jeju is Lord Zhang Shuye, this public loyalty, righteousness and integrity, worrying about the country and the people, its arguments and strategies must not be out of the people's livelihood and border troubles, etc., the current border troubles are inseparable from the relationship between our dynasty and the Liao, Xia and northern barbarians, and the people's livelihood is nothing more than how to let the people get rid of poverty and live a stable and happy life. If you think about this kind of article, you will get something. ”

Today's Jeju prefect turned out to be Uncle Zhang, Gu Haotian couldn't imagine that two great gods appeared one after another in the place where he lived, Xu Churen's appearance in Yuncheng County was unexpected, Zhang Shuye came out of Jeju Mansion again, it seems that the wind of his little butterfly is a little strong.

This Zhang Shuye is not an ordinary person, in the Water Margin, he replaced Taiwei Su Yuanjing on Liangshan Zhao'an, and in the real history it was he who destroyed the Song Jiang uprising, and later led the army to defend Bianliang City in the difficulty of Jingkang, and after the defeat, he was taken away by the Jin State with Song Qinzong, and hanged himself on the way.

Xu Churen and Zhang Shuye are almost the same age, they are both loyal and righteous people, and they have heard of each other for a long time, after Xu Churen was demoted to Yuncheng, Zhang Shuye happened to be his top boss again, and the two had a lot of friendships, and often exchanged ideas about each other's governance, so they knew what they were thinking.

The two of them talked very happily in the back office, Xu Churen was born in the imperial examination, and he has been in the officialdom for decades, and he has his own unique views on the scientific examination, and Gu Haotian has benefited a lot from it for more than an hour. After having lunch with Xu Churen in the back office, and with some scientific research books presented by him, Gu Haotian said goodbye.

"It's a hot summer, and the kid is going to go to the villa to study quietly for two months, and then come to visit the adults before the autumn."

"That's very good, old man waiting for good news."

An old man and a young man said goodbye on a summer afternoon, waiting for another good story in autumn.
