Chapter 285: A Visitor Visits

Zhong Hao still doesn't know that he has earned a jinshi with those three strategies. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Well, it's just a tribute now, to be exact.

In the provincial examination, you can only call Gongshi, and you can only call Jinshi after passing the palace examination, but now the palace examination is not degraded, and it is only used for ranking, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you have earned a Jinshi.

Although most of the candidates who took the examination in this subject went around singing, drinking, and wandering as soon as they left the Tribute Academy, most of them were pretending to be free and easy, and in fact, most of them were undecided, and the results of this provincial examination made them a little uneasy.

Of course, there are also some candidates who are very confident in their subject and feel that they will definitely be able to pass the exam.

The reason why they take advantage of their leisure to find beauty and beauty, sleep in flowers and willows, enjoy the wind ~ flow during this period of time, and indulge in the wind and moon is because once they are admitted to the Jinshi, they are considered court officials, although the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are elegant and elegant ~ flow, this green ~ building is not allowed to go.

Of course, although the Great Song Dynasty did not allow court officials to go to Qing~Lou, if you invite those prostitutes to hold a meeting at home, or do something else, this thing is still okay.

However, most of these young scholars do not have much family business, and if they want to invite those good prostitutes to their homes, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it. Now they can only go to the Qing~Lou Pavilion to visit those good prostitutes.

They feel that they must be able to enter the Shi, and once the Jinshi is the official of the imperial court, they naturally have to pay attention to the decency of the officials, and naturally they can't go to the Qinglou ~ to play, so they naturally have to take advantage of this time to enjoy it as much as possible, otherwise there will be few opportunities in the future.

When Zhong Hao finished the exam, he also followed Yang Huaiyu to those Qinlou Chu Pavilions, and he really saw the customs of Tokyo's prostitutes.

Of course, Zhong Hao's mood at this time was different from those candidates, he was neither anxious about whether he could be selected, nor was he as smug as some candidates who answered the questionnaire well, his mood was very calm.

Because he felt that he would not be able to pass the exam at all.

Originally, before coming to Tokyo to participate in the lock hall test, Zhong Hao felt that he still had a little hope. But with the preparation before the exam, the more desperately he prepared, the more he found that the difficulty of this scientific examination was too great, and naturally he did not have much hope.

If you don't have hope, your mood will naturally be calm.

Zhong Hao is not thinking about the list now, but thinking about how to marry himself and Fu Ruozhu, he feels that he should hurry up and urge him to settle this marriage as soon as possible, and it is also a matter of concern.

Although I am afraid that it is difficult for me to enter the Jinshi, but I have followed the goal of my old man in Taishan, and now he can be regarded as wearing a scarlet robe, and he can no longer let his old man delay for some reason.

Of course, Zhong Hao also knew that the Great Song Dynasty was only valued by Jinshi, in fact, most of these prime ministers and daughters of the ruling families of the Great Song Dynasty were married to civil officials who were born in Jinshi. If you don't pass the Jinshi exam, I'm afraid that your Taishan father-in-law may really find a reason to delay.

Zhong Hao knows: His daughter-in-law is also deceived from his father-in-law's family! When I was in Qingzhou, I became famous by making those few words. And those poems are all made by top figures in the lyric world like Su Xian and Xin, and they are naturally all highly talented works. I "borrowed" this word, and everyone thought that I did it, and naturally thought that I was extremely talented.

Fu Bi must have thought that he was extremely talented, and Zhongjin Shi was so easy that he would agree to marry his daughter to a poor son of his family. If you know that you have no talent at all, and it is difficult for you to get into the jinshi at all, I am afraid that you will never easily agree to marry your daughter to you. Even if you come up with a lot of effective summer strategies and high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, I am afraid that it will not work.

Although it is an extremely important wealth to dedicate high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes by himself, and although he has invented many things such as soju, in the eyes of those Great Song Dynasty civil officials and doctors, it is still not as promising as a Jinshi title.

Therefore, Zhong Hao is actually still a little worried about his Taishan father-in-law, in case he doesn't get into the Jinshi, I'm afraid that he will make it difficult for him again, and use it to delay!

No, I still have to hurry up and urge him to do his marriage with Fu Ruozhu, so that he can feel at ease as soon as possible!

…………

Zhong Hao was idle today, and in front of the door of the west courtyard of the Yang Mansion, there was an official surnamed Shen who came to visit!

An official surnamed Shen? When Zhong Hao heard the words of that disciple, he couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't seem to know a few people in Tokyo at all. In addition to these people in the Yang Mansion, in addition to Di Qing in Tokyo, I know a Lu Qi, but I don't know the surname Shen!

However, Zhong Hao immediately patted his head and remembered! When he entered the Tribute Courtyard that day, Shen Kuo, who was naked ~ opposite him in the bathhouse of the Tribute Courtyard, wasn't he an official?! I always think that the people who go to take the exam are all scholars, and I ignore that the people who take the lock hall exam are actually officials!

It must be him, and I don't know the other Shen.

That day, Zhong Hao and Shen Kuo talked very speculatively, but the exam was about to take place, and there was no time to talk, so they agreed to talk to each other after the exam. And he and Shen Kuo also left each other's addresses that day.

Zhong Hao remembered that Shen Kuo also said that he was a distant relative of Wang Anshi, and he temporarily lived in Wang Anshi's mansion in Tokyo, and Zhong Hao also planned to meet him after the exam, and by the way, see if there was a chance to meet Wang Anshi, a big celebrity.

Although there are too many celebrities who have left their names in history in this era, Wang Anshi is one of the best, and Zhong Hao still wants to see it.

However, in the past few days, he first followed Yang Huaiyu to various pavilions ~ flow, and then pondered his marriage, Zhong Hao forgot all about this stubble.

Zhong Hao remembered that on the first day of entering the Tribute Academy, he said that he seemed to be the chief bookkeeper of Shuyang County, and he also had an official status. Shen Kuo's father is also an official, and his official son is also from Enyin.

Zhong Hao estimated that Shen Kuo was afraid that the Yang family's rank was too high, and said that those disciples of other identities might not take him seriously, maybe they would not inform him, but they would ask to see him as an official.

At that moment, Zhong Hao hurriedly followed the door to greet Shen Kuo.

When Zhong Hao came to the gatehouse of the west courtyard of the Yang Mansion, Shen Kuo was sitting and drinking tea.

Shen Kuo's appearance is not good, he wore a very luxurious blue silk shirt today, but in Zhong Hao's opinion, he felt a little honest and dull, probably because Shen Kuo looked a little rustic, Shen He had a round face and slightly dark skin!

However, on the whole, Shen Kuo's image is somewhat compatible with his achievements in scientific research and short of human feelings.

However, although Shen Kuo's appearance is not good, Zhong Hao does not dare to underestimate him at all, this is a figure with countless scientific achievements in later generations, if you don't care about emotional intelligence, in terms of IQ alone, Shen Kuo's IQ is enough to kill 99.9% of people in history in seconds.

As soon as he saw Zhong Hao coming in, Shen Kuo hurriedly stood up and said with a sincere smile: "Brother Zhong has been absent for a long time, hehe, I hope I will forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting!" ”

Zhong Hao hurriedly said politely to Shen Kuo: "Brother Shen is here, it's not an honor, please come inside!" ”

Shen Kuo followed Zhong Hao to his living house.

Xiao Tao served tea to the two of them very quickly.

"Brother Zhong is good here, if this yard waits until the spring flowers bloom, it must be very good!" Shen Kuo looked at the west courtyard of the Yang Mansion, which looked like a garden, and said with a smile.

Zhong Hao also smiled: "It's a pity, I'm afraid that if I can't wait for this spring to bloom, my brother will leave Tokyo." Zhong Hao felt that he was unlikely to pass the exam, so he decided to wait for the release of the list, and then go to the state to end his marriage with Fu Ruozhu as soon as possible.

Shen Kuo was not surprised to hear Zhong Hao's words! If you don't pass the exam, everyone will naturally have to go back to their original positions. If you pass the exam, in fact, after the Jinshi of the Great Song Dynasty is generally selected, they will inevitably be released, so everyone has to leave Tokyo

At that moment, Shen Kuo said: "Yes, I'm afraid that we won't wait for the spring flowers to bloom, and we will all leave Tokyo!" ”

The two chatted casually again.

Zhong Hao found that this Shen Kuo was not too long in words, and he was a passive accosting when he chatted, and he would not easily change the topic, and he was not very good at communicating with people. This is probably the commonality of people who are good at science, and it is estimated that it is precisely because of this that he can delve into that science without distraction.

Zhong Hao picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and beckoned Shen Kuo to drink tea.

Zhong Hao took a sip of tea and asked casually: "Brother Shen has a lot of research on this water conservancy, this time the strategy of controlling the river is a good answer, right?" ”

Zhong Hao's question happened to scratch Shen Kuo's itch, and he couldn't help but talk endlessly about the anti-yellow strategy he had studied.

Zhong Hao actually asked casually, but he didn't expect Shen Kuo to stop talking.

However, this Shen Kuo is indeed very powerful, he said a lot of things about the treatment of Huang, Zhong Hao heard it, and felt that it was really reasonable.

Since they talked about this exam question, the two inevitably talked about other test questions.

Of course, neither of them is very good at poetry, they are mainly communication strategies.

Shen Kuo not only has research on this river control, but he is also very good at military science, geography and other things, and he seems to have written important military works such as "Border State Formation" in the future.

Although Shen Kuo's current research on this military and geography is not so in-depth, he has also dabbled in it, and Shen Kuo has written relatively dry goods in the strategy of Xia and Jingbian Pingyu in this subject.

This Shen Kuo was a little wooden in communicating with people, but when he talked about all kinds of research and knowledge in various fields, he immediately became bright.

Shen Kuo heard Zhong Hao say that day, and now he is still the Zhizhai of Jingqiang Village in Linzhou, Hexi, and he also asked Zhong Hao a lot of things about the Song-Xia border.

Although Shen Kuo is very knowledgeable, he must ask clearly if he doesn't understand. Although he has some research on military affairs and geography, he doesn't have a very specific understanding of many things on the border of Song and Xia, so he really asked Zhong Hao a lot of things!

In fact, strictly speaking, these things do not belong to the category of science, but to the category of humanities, but Shen Kuo is still studying very seriously. It seems that his knowledge is indeed extremely complex, and it is far beyond the realm of science.

When he arrived, Shen Kuo asked a lot of questions, and Zhong Hao and he talked to each other about the strategy they had done, and they were full of praise for the other party's strategy.

Shen Kuo said with a smile: "Brother Zhong's strategy is really good, it's really impressive!" ”

Zhong Hao also smiled and said, "Brother Shen's strategy is definitely the best." Eh, Brother Shen's is three years older than the younger brother, let's talk about it by the year, don't call the younger brother Brother Zhong, just call the table word! "Just now, Zhong Hao and Shen Kuo talked about their age, and Zhong Hao is three years younger than Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo smiled when he heard this: "Then listen to Wen Xuan!" "He's as good as he is.

Zhong Hao said: "It is also an honor for the younger brother to be able to make friends with Brother Cun." ”

Shen Kuo continued: "It's a pity that this scientific examination always emphasizes poetry more than strategy, and no matter how good our strategy is, it may not be Chinese." Alas, strategy is not as important as poetry after all! Although Shen Kuo is a smart person who is well-versed in both arts and sciences, poetry is really not a strong point, and he does not play very well in the poetry response of this subject, so he sighs.

Zhong Hao also sighed: "This 'I am lucky, I lose my life', although this title of Jinshi is extremely respectful, but I don't have this day, let's all look at it." ”

"Hehe, Wenxuan, you are open-minded!"

Zhong Hao said in his heart: The main reason is that I can't be open-minded and can't do it, and I haven't studied hard for more than ten years like those candidates, and I don't have such a high foundation in ancient literature, so it's too difficult to pass the exam. And Zhong Hao really didn't have the idea that he was a glorious ancestor like those scholars in the Great Song Dynasty, of course, the main reason was that he didn't even have an ancestor in this era. So whether he passed the test or not, Zhong Hao really didn't take it so seriously.

The two of them thought that the current science of the imperial court was still the same as before, emphasizing poetry and ignoring policy! If you know that today's science and poetry are equally important to policy, you probably still have great hopes, and you will not be as pessimistic as you are now.

At the moment, the two of them were not going to talk about this scientific expedition, but talked about their respective research and inventions.

The reason why Zhong Hao and Shen Kuo talked about speculation was mainly because they were interested in their respective research and inventions.

Shen Kuo didn't look very good at talking when he talked about other things, but as soon as he talked about this research and invention, he immediately became a little talkative.

If we talk about Shen Kuo's achievements in the history of science, it is simply a figure that countless people look up to!

And Zhong Hao really admires Shen Kuo, this guy has left countless research and inventions in history. His "Dream Creek Writings" is even more useful for later generations in astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. Music, geography and many other aspects have left countless valuable treasures.

Speaking of Shen Kuo's scientific achievements, it is really too numerous to mention.

Mathematically invented the number of gap products, which will be round; Physically, wet copper smelting was invented; In astronomy, he invented the mud to measure the position of celestial bodies, invented the gauge to measure the shadow of the sun, and improved the method of measuring the shadow. In terms of geographical surveying and mapping, he also compiled and drew the "Map of Tianxia Prefecture and County". In addition, the instrument for measuring the time - the colander - has been improved.

Of course, this is only part of its scientific achievements, and if you really want to talk about it, there are many more scientific achievements than that.

It can be said that Shen Kuo in this history is simply an encyclopedic scientist.
