Don't say that the Shi Ce question is in a small exam like the county, even in the official scientific examination in Chang'an, this is a very difficult question to answer.

Even if it is a Jinshi exam, if candidates want to distance themselves and get a good ranking, then this question must be answered well.

When Li Rizhi first participated in the scientific examination, it was because of his good answer to this question that he ranked high.

If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince Li Hong also took the exam at that time, then the first place should be Li Rizhi.

Li Rizhi put all his effort into coming up with this last exam question, and thought it out carefully, in order to examine whether the candidates are nerds who only know how to read to death, or whether they are scholars who have experience in making a living and care about the people's welfare.

The imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty at this time was very important to these, which was different from the imperial examination of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations.

However, this kind of imperial examination system was not the original intention of the imperial examination system when it was first established.

In this era, the selection of officials attaches great importance to current affairs and politics, for the emperor, if an official can't govern a good place, then what else does he want this official to do?

Therefore, whether the article is well done or not cannot fully reflect the level of a candidate's ability, otherwise, no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric is and how good the writing is, but if it is not on the point, it cannot be said to have something to say, then such an article is still useless.

Li Rizhi came up with the last exam question according to the requirements of this era.

The last exam question belongs to the people's livelihood question, generally speaking, for people with a little life experience, it is not a difficult problem, even if it cannot be answered completely, but it will not go too far.

However, if you have no life experience at all, and have always been just clothes to stretch out your hands and eat to open your mouth, then this question is simply difficult to heaven, and it is almost completely impossible to answer.

This question is, in this place of Qianfeng County, what are the main types of meals eaten by ordinary people, the time of fresh vegetable supply, from when to when, due to various seasons, the supply of vegetables and grain has changed, so what is the impact of this change on the daily expenditure of ordinary people?

As a result of these influences, what kind of measures should be taken when the government levies taxes on the people and allows the people to go out into forced labor, so that the people will not suffer too much loss, at least not delay the people's farm work, and can ensure the completion of the government's normal business?

In fact, this question is a very simple current affairs and livelihood question, as long as you have some understanding of daily life, you can answer the first half of this question.

If the candidate has an understanding of the affairs of the government, then the questions in the second half can be answered completely, even if there is no new insight of their own, but the opinions of the middle and middle distances, write it, and still be able to answer this question very well.

However, there is something to pay attention to in this question, that is, the first half of the answer must be answered correctly, and the second half of the answer is effective, otherwise, if you don't know the daily life of the people, then only answer the part of the government, it is a fantasy, and it belongs to the empty imagination of white teeth, and this question is still equivalent to not being answered!

Don't fantasize, say something!

When the candidates saw this question, although not all the students in the county school were confused, two-thirds of the students were definitely confused.

The children of rich families are also scholars who have entered the county school, so for them, it is impossible to buy vegetables, let alone buy vegetables, even if it is impossible to enter the kitchen.

Therefore, many students can't answer the first half of this question at all.

But these candidates can't say that this question is biased, because this question is about the affairs of Qianfeng County, as the local people of this county, don't they even know what to eat in what season?

In addition, even if you don't know the approximate price of vegetables, you can know the approximate price, or the price of grain, you can't know it!

These are the most basic issues of people's livelihood, if you don't even know these, then how to be an official for the official, isn't that nonsense!

But among the candidates in the county school, one-third can answer this question.

Because among these candidates, some of their families are engaged in the grain business, and some of their families are open restaurants.

Even if they don't know too specific, they still understand the general aspects, and as long as they know the general situation, then the first half will naturally be answered, and the second half is actually not difficult for them to answer.

Because the students in the county school learn and discuss every day, that is, how to be an official!

So if you ask them how to be ordinary people, they may not answer well, but if you ask them how to be officials, then they can answer a lot!

But for those children from poor families, the first half is easy to answer, but they have not experienced the second half, and they have not usually discussed it, and it is not their turn to discuss these, so it is still difficult for them to answer this livelihood question.

But in the entire examination room, there was one person who could answer this question from beginning to end, and this person was Wendenko.

Wendenko's family grows vegetables, what season to grow what vegetables, he can't be clearer, he has been exposed to these all day since he was a child, how can he not know!

And because his parents are old, it is not easy to make money, so Wen Dengke is also very clear about the family's income and the taxes to be paid.

And when he went out to serve at home, he would also go with his father, after all, his father was old, even if he didn't want to delay his studies, but when he was in the service, he still had to go with him.

So the whole question, Wen Dengke is completely understood, this question is like tailor-made for him, if he can't answer such a question, then there is really no need to read anymore!

Wen Dengke still has some skills in reading and writing, and after reading the questions, he answered the first two questions first.

Then, Wen Dengke straightened up, sat behind his desk and closed his eyes, he first sorted out what he wanted to write, and then laid out the paper and ink, picked up the pen and began to write.

Wen Dengke answered this livelihood question very smoothly, and after answering it, he carefully checked it again, and then officially copied it on the test paper.

After doing all this, Wendenko did not check again, because these three questions belong to the theory of strategy, and they will be answered after answering, and checking too many times, or smearing, is completely meaningless, but not good.

There were still two quarters of an hour before the end of the exam, Wen Dengke stood up, held the paper in his hand, left the examination room, went to the main hall, and handed the paper to Li Rizhi, who was sitting on the main hall and waiting for the end of the exam.

Li Rizhi saw that someone had handed in the paper in advance, and glanced at the test paper first, so he smiled and said: "Okay, you are the first to submit the paper in the strategy exam, which is different from the one in the morning, those who dare to submit the paper first in the strategy are confident." Come, the magistrate will subsidize you ten taels of silver, and you can buy some candles for your evening study, and then go home!" ”
