Chapter 113: Rich and Rival Country (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green...... The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered, life is rare to gather, only parting more. ”
The long and desolate singing voice sent Tang Jingchuan to the north three times, Tang Yi's heart was mixed, an amiable and respectable division commander left, no one forced himself to read poetry and books hard, and no one called himself to get up and practice before dawn. Tang Yi suddenly had a feeling that he had just come out of the gate of the university, he was inside, complaining, and after coming out, he was extremely yearning.
"Alas, with the nature of a teacher, he should cultivate in an ivory tower, no matter what field, with his ingenuity, he can come out on top. The officialdom that confuses right and wrong is really torture for him. ”
Thinking of this, Tang Yi became distracted, and when the officials dispersed, he returned to the study early, and as usual, he lifted the brush, meditated, brushed a little bit, and began to copy the calligraphy.
It is said that the imperial examination is to be transcribed by name, as long as the handwriting is neat, but in fact, it is not. Just like the three passes of the Xiucai test, the county test, the government test, and the hospital test are not transcribed, and the county test and the government test do not even need to be named, and they are directly evaluated by the county, the prefect and the school.
If it is in a remote place, it is better to say, Suzhou is a famous imperial examination cemetery, the number of students is outrageous, and there are even gray hair and persistent old children who take exams with their grandchildren, and the workload of marking papers can be imagined.
When the examiner was dizzy, his eyes were cracking, and his eyes were watering, a paper with neat handwriting and smooth writing was like a sweet spring in the desert, which made people want to stop.
As long as you make it a good look, then congratulations, you're almost done. Think about Daddy Tang Shen in a daze, why did he get a talent in the exam, didn't he rely on a beautiful calligraphy!
In fact, only the township examination and the general examination need to be transcribed, and there is no transcription for the palace examination. Think about it, those graders, all of them are Jinshi, famous calligraphers, if you write a dog crawling character, you can think about it with your toes and know what will happen. Although the palace examination will not be dethroned, there is always a order in the ranking.
And this ranking also involves the selection of the pavilion later, a few places behind, you may lose the opportunity to become a Jishi, and you will not be able to enter the Hanlin Academy, so congratulations, the position of the cabinet is basically insulated from you!
Lala has said so much, there is only one theme, that is, if you want to make the imperial examination go smoothly, good calligraphy is inevitable, and it depends on what font it is.
Xiao Tang Yi used to learn thin gold body from his father, although the handwriting is flowing and free, but things with flying personalities are destined to be unpleasant. Since studying with Tang Shunzhi, Tang Yi has turned to practice the Taige style, which is square, shiny, jet-black, and the size is consistent, as if it was printed, dignified and generous, and there is no feature at all. Fortunately, Tang Yi never thought of living by calligraphy, all for the imperial examination!
After writing for half an hour in one breath, Tang Yi raised his head, twisted his neck, and suddenly his eyes fell on the paper on the table where he had practiced calligraphy for a few days, it was originally all waste paper, and he had to throw it away after saving for a few days, but there was a thick book in the middle of the paper. Driven by curiosity, I reached out and took it, and when I looked at the handwriting on the cover, it was familiar with the abnormality.
"It was left by the teacher!"
Tang Yi hurriedly opened it, and there was a letter mixed in it, and after unfolding it, it read: Tang Yi Xiaoyou, seeing the letter is like meeting. Although you and I do not have the name of teacher and student, we are actually teacher and student. With the talent of a small friend, as soon as he enters the officialdom, he will be like a fish in water, the dragon will enter the sea, and the tiger will return to the mountains, which is unlimited. However, the imperial examination is a way, especially can not relax, I take the scholar, the name is for the country to take talents, in fact, there are many shady scenes, two lists of scholars, all of them are hometown wishes. Jiangxi people do the first auxiliary, Jiangxi has many talents, Zhejiang people do the elders, and Zhejiang's Jinshi is more. There are people in the DPRK and China, and there are talents in their hometowns, and the word "talent" is regarded as such a solution!
Looking at the familiar font, Tang Yi's hands gradually trembled, his eyes were red, he couldn't control it anymore, and tears crackled and fell.
"Master, Master, these words should be rotten in my heart, and I can't say them for the rest of my life! The heavens and the earth are generous, when will the disciples be able to repay it! ”
Tang Yi was moved not without reason, when he wrote this letter, he had not yet formally apprenticed, Tang Shunzhi revealed the shady curtain and disposition of the imperial examination, every sentence was a public anger, once he was exiled, Tang Shunzhi immediately became the public enemy of Shilin, and even ruined his reputation, and he was never recovered.
But he still has no reservations, according to Tang Shunzhi, among each of the scholars, only the top 50 of the first and second class are safer, which can be regarded as real materials. It's not that the back is all rice buckets, it's just that the article may be done similarly, but some people are in the top two in high school, some people are in the top three, and some people are famous in Sun Shan, not because of lack of knowledge, but because of the sharing of interests between the portal and friends. If you don't have a backer, you will fall.
Of course, in some cases, when the line is crossed, even the Sanding armor has a problem, and it is a storm in the scientific field that kills people.
If you want to be able to get into the Jinshi exam steadily, it is best to rush to the top 50, and considering the problem of the Jishi, you must rush to the top 30 or less. However, Ji Jishi will study in the Hanlin Academy for three years, and assign positions according to the quality of his grades, which is the best rest time for the new science and technology jinshi. But for Tang Yi, it is simply a waste of life, so it is more secure to impact the Sanding Armor, just like Xu Jie and Tang Shunzhi, both of whom are Tanhualang and can directly enter the Hanlin Academy......
Every word is for Tang Yi's consideration, and the road to the imperial examination is clearly written. Since the goal is set on the Sanding Jia, the difficulty can be imagined, in the face of the country's top talents, if you want to stand out from it, it is absolutely impossible to do without adequate preparation.
In addition to the knowledge and calligraphy of the Eight Classics, there is also a copy of the "Tang Exam Treasure Book"!
Tang Yi slowly opened the book, which was full of articles that Tang Shunzhi had done by officials in the DPRK and China, and there were not many officials who were qualified to be the main examiner, but Tang Yi had been unable to catch up with the thirty-two years of Jiajing due to his mother's funeral, so the most recent one was the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing, and four years later, the criteria were relaxed, and almost a dozen officials were selected, plus those who were dormant and may be reinstated, Tang Shunzhi selected twenty-eight possible candidates.
Collected all the eight articles they have written since the county examination, and wrote dense comments on them, summarizing their style of writing, what their preferences are, and whether there have been any changes since they became officials...... After Tang Shunzhi's introduction, the styles of each official were clearly laid out in front of him, and it became extremely easy to do what he liked.
In a word, this treasure book is a red book that caters to the examiner, a god-level strategy for game clearance!
It's really unimaginable that Tang Jingchuan, who has pursued the way of a gentleman all his life and pays attention to taking in the straight rather than seeking in the song, can write such a thing!
Holding the scroll, Tang Yi burst into tears, and he deeply realized Mr. 's ardent expectations. At the end, Tang Shunzhi even reminded Tang Yi that because he became famous as a young man, it was inevitable that some villains would make trouble because of jealousy. When necessary, use all your strength to level the examiner.
Even the words of bribery were spoken, Tang Yi was simply speechless.
"Master, don't worry, the disciple will definitely be admitted to the Sanding Jia!"
Tang Yi cautiously put the book in the drawer and locked it with a lock. Suddenly I heard two coughs, and when I turned around, my father was standing at the door.
"Can you come in?"
"You're welcome, sit down!" Tang Yi wiped his tears, pulled his father over, and sat down opposite the father and son.
Tang Xiucai looked at his son's tears, and couldn't help sighing: "Mr. Jingchuan is gone, and he flashed you, and my father's heart is very uncomfortable." Originally, I didn't want to bother you, but there is one thing that my father can't help but say. ”
"Dad, our father and son have nothing to talk about, you just have to say it."
Tang Xiucai was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Today Wu Tiancheng sent the account book, saying that he wanted to give it to you, I didn't want to read it, but I want to know how capable my son is, guess what my father saw?" ”
"Ledger? The ledger of the salt iron pond? Tang Yi's eyes widened, and he suddenly wanted to slap his two mouths, and as soon as the teacher left, he was uneasy and went home early. If he had known that Daddy would see the ledger, he would have waited a little longer!
Tang Yi has done so much business, and the accounts are all hidden from his father, not because he is afraid that he will know, but because he is afraid that he will not accept it. After all, so much silver is flowing, it's really a little scary. I didn't expect to hide it, but I still let my dad know.
I heard Tang Xiucai grit his teeth and say, "Yi'er, how did you get so much money?" More than five million taels of silver! More than the annual treasury revenue of the Ming Dynasty! You want to scare your dad to death! ”
Tang Yi scratched his head, "Dad, those are not all children, and only more than thirty percent of the shares are in the name of children." ”
"That's one and a half million taels! In less than a year, our family is unexpectedly rich. Tell me, where did you get all this money? If you can't tell, your dad won't be able to sleep! ”
