I don't know what the reason is, the official business of the Ministry of Rites on this day is inexplicably much less than a few days ago.

At noon, when Han Gang's lunch came in, it could at least be placed directly on the table.

As a political counselor, he has 35 yuan of meal money every month, which is not as much as 50 yuan when he was a Xuanhui envoy. But excluding the days when he rested every month, the average is always two hundred yuan a meal, as long as Han Gang wants to eat, there will be no problem with the normal one or twenty dishes - Kaifeng's restaurant, as long as it is not a specialty of the world, the price of wine and food is not expensive.

It's just that Han Gang eats, compared to his identity, it is still very simple, ordinary two dishes and one soup, and some brown rice and miscellaneous grains are added to the rice, not milled and milled rice, and it is best to eat it. When he reached his status, he paid more attention to health preservation, was insensitive to overeating, and even trickle-down spirits.

However, Han Gang has another identity, although he never knows how to administer needles and prescribe medicine, but in terms of health, he will be believed in everything he says, seeing Han Gang eating like this, it has only been a few days, Han Jiang and Zhang Qi have begun to learn from Han Gang to eat like this, and they also let the kitchen in Han Gang's courtyard pass a menu over.

Han Gang could only laugh at this.

After eating casually and drinking the drink of consumption, he took out a newly delivered rhyme book and slowly flipped through it.

However, what Han Gang read was not the common "Ritual Rhyme", the book was much thinner, but the text inside was also printed much more finely.

The "Ritual Rhyme" is similar to the dictionary of later generations, and the order of all the characters is arranged according to the rhyme, that is, the arrangement method based on the finals. Whether the poems rhyme or not must be based on the "Rhyme". In the era when the imperial court was still a scholar with poetry, every time the Jinshi examination was held, the candidates would get a freshly printed "Book of Rhyme" as the standard for poetry.

The rhyme book in Han Gang's hand, compared with the "Ritual Rhyme", has more radicals to check the characters, and in the sentence reading, he also learns qi books such as "Nature", adds punctuation marks, and has paraphrasing, and lists the commonly used words with it as the prefix.

It's just that in terms of rhyme, it is still in the order of finals, which is still very different from the dictionaries in later generations that use initials as the order.

This is the newly compiled "Common Character Book" from Hengqu Academy - I dare not use the name of 'dictionary', so I can only name it as a character book. To a large extent, he accepted Han Gang's proposal, but he couldn't change the impression of the old rhyme book, so he had this four dissimilarities.

In Han Gang's opinion, this book is not qualified and needs to be revised many times. If this book can really reach the level of the pocket small dictionary that almost every student has in Han Gang's memory, I am afraid that the scholars in this examination will inevitably have one in their hands.

Of course, in today's examination in the Gongyuan, there will be neither a character book nor a rhyme.

The time for this year's examination is a little later than in previous years.

At this time nine years ago, Han Gang had already walked out of the examination room of the Gongyuan, waiting for the results of Zeng Bu, Lu Huiqing and others.

At that time, Han Gang used some off-the-board tricks and spent a lot of thought, so he stood on the same starting line with a group of gongsheng from all walks of life.

When I passed the ritual examination at the end, I was not up or down, and it was not eye-catching at all.

Thinking of the exam he took that year, Han Gang also remembered his old classmate Murong Wu who went to Beijing to take the exam together.

Murong Wu is already a general judge in Fengzhou. But it is only the first general judgment seniority, and it is still far from being the help of Han Gang.

His ability is not too outstanding, and he can rise up quickly because he is conscientious and conscientious in his tenure as the magistrate of Yixian County.

Because the tombs of Zhang Zai, his father and his younger brother are in Yi County, several official positions in Yi County are the self-reserved places of Qi Xue. Starting from the magistrate, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, and the chief bookkeeper are all Qi scholars. The teacher in the county school is also a member of the Qi School - as long as Han Gang is still in one day, his face is enough to be worth several positions in a county - and Zhang Zai's only son, Zhang Yin, is studying in Hengqu Academy.

In that growing academy, there are more than 300 scholars studying all year round, and the number of students can swell to as many as one or two thousand in the spring and autumn seasons, when it is easy to travel.

Han Gang is now suggesting that Hengqu Academy imitate the system of Guozijian and change it slightly, dividing it into three levels, junior high school and high school, so as to correspond to students of different levels.

As for the teachers, there have never been less than fifty in the past two years. Most of them are Qi disciples who stay in the academy, and a small number of them are senior students, and from time to time, famous scholars are invited to preach in the academy, which makes the academy's influence more and more great.

In terms of scale, Hengqu Academy is currently second only to Guozijian and is the first academy in the world.

At the same time, due to the continuous donations, Hengqu Academy has more than 40 hectares of land in Yixian County and its surrounding counties, and has become one of the largest landlords in Fengxiang Mansion. Under its name, there are also eleven wind mills, and the annual income is not small. In addition, the college will also hand over the various books compiled by the teachers and students of the college to the printing library for printing and sale, and you can also get a part of the dividends.

With these income subsidies, not only can the poor scholars in the academy not have to go hungry and can study with peace of mind, but also make the academy more attractive.

Every time he saw the changes and development of the academy, Han Gang couldn't help but sigh that his senior brother Su Xun, as the head of the academy, was indeed a hard worker.

Hengqu Academy is an extremely important part of Hangang's planning and represents the future of Qi science.

But progress in mathematics, physics, and chemistry is what Han Gang expects from Hengqu Academy, and it is not just because there are many people.

If it is external, when you can't convince the enemy with a pen and mouth, as long as you use a cannon, there will be no problem.

The power of the artillery will silence all opposition, and if it can't be done, it means that the power is not enough, and the artillery with a larger caliber, heavier shells, and a longer range is needed.

Internally, the cannon is also a credential in academic disputes, and it is evidence to prove the merits of qi. To overwhelm the opponent, a larger calibre, heavier shells, and a longer range gun are also needed to prove the usefulness of qi.

Useful for the ages.

If Qi Science wants to expand its influence and become a prominent science, it is inseparable from these four words.

The hard work of studying in the cold window of my own house seems to be just yesterday. And now it's time to guide the students in the direction of study.

Han Gang, who was always paying attention to his every move inside Hengqu Academy, knew that although his base was very slow, it was indeed moving in the direction he wanted to see.

The content of the hundreds of scholars in the academy who studied hard day and night was not limited to the items of the imperial examination.

Although there will not be many Qi disciples in this subject, including the next subject, and then the next subject, among the new science jinshi who have been tested from the Ministry of Rites, in the future, the Qi disciples will inevitably rise to high positions because of their talents.

Moreover, with Han Gang's current status, and the time to be entrenched in the court for the next few decades, it will never be in vain to watch Xinxue monopolize the qualification of Jinshi.

For example, the cabinet exam that will start tomorrow, Han Gang will not sit idly by and watch the new party make things difficult for the people he wants to reuse.

Han Gang didn't know how sure Huang Sheng was about the pavilion test.

Psychologically, although Huang Sheng never showed panic and uneasiness in front of him, it was impossible for Huang Sheng not to be nervous before facing such an important juncture.

But in terms of knowledge, Han Gang is still willing to believe in Huang Shang's self-confidence.

Maybe the champion in the memory of his previous life, just like Han Gang's ninth Jinshi, was directly raised by the Son of Heaven from the end of the list. It is also possible that the emperor at that time looked pleasing to the eye, so he exercised his privileges when his ranking in the Ministry of Rites and Palace Examination was not high.

However, there is no doubt that the strength of the continuous multi-branch South Jianzhou solution test is at the forefront, and it is just luck that he fails to pass the Jinshi. Or the state is not good, or the topic is wrong.

Huang Shang wants to pass the cabinet exam, but the most difficult thing is just a matter of questions.

To a large extent, the fate of the candidates is determined by the examiners, on the one hand, whether the questions issued by the examiners are within the scope of their preparation, and on the other hand, whether the articles they have worked hard to complete can be appreciated, the decision is also in the hands of the examiners.

The scope of the cabinet examination, the Nine Classics, the History, the Wujing, the Zhuzi, plus the content of the annotations, the number of words is millions, it is impossible for many people to memorize the annotations in one go, what they can do is to remember the key content of most of them, as well as the original gist of the scriptures, and the rest depends on whether they will be unlucky and bump into the exam questions that they can't remember the source and content.

Even if it is Su Shi and Su Zhe, they can pass the cabinet exam, and there are factors that the examiner did not deliberately make things difficult. is as knowledgeable as Ouyang Xiu, and he can not dare to draw conclusions about Su Shi's apocryphal allusions, can Su Shi and Su Zhe be much stronger than Ouyang Xiu?

Han Gang didn't know what kind of problem Huang Sheng would encounter, and he didn't want to know Lu Dao. How to make Wang Anshi satisfied without offending himself is something that people in Chongwen Academy need to consider. All Han Gang wants to see is the result.

The system will not be locked up like the Jinshi Imperial Examination, but the necessary isolation is still indispensable. A few days after the question was solved, several members of the Secret Pavilion of the Three Pavilions who participated in the question were bound in the Secret Pavilion until the exam began. However, such a system is far easier to exploit than the Ministry of Rites test. Examiners are more susceptible to off-the-field factors.

But what Han Gang wanted was just a fair chance, not a deliberate care.

Although party struggle is already a practical problem, Han Gang does not feel that it is necessary to use unscrupulous means to reflect the four words of party unity and difference.

If Huang Sheng couldn't pass the cabinet exam without anyone stumbling, it would be his own problem, and Han Gang wouldn't target those examiners because he was dethroned.

Picking up a piece of paper sandwiched in the "Book of Common Words", Han Gang looked at it for a while, shook his head and smiled, and casually threw it into the pen wash full of water.

A few lines of scribbled paper were only the size of a palm, and they quickly soaked inside the pen wash. Han Gang stirred it with the pen again, and it was a mess, and he could no longer see the handwriting on it.

That's it.

Han Gang thought.
