In Daming, whether it is the county test, the township test, or the meeting test, it will not be placed in a cold day.

Bai Minghe has an exam here in Nanjing, and the talents and lifters who come to Nanjing are already crowded with large and small, whether they are high-end or ordinary inns. The city of Nanjing has not been so lively for many years, at least on days when there are no exams, there are few scholars in Nanjing.

The Nanjing Ministry of Rites set the time for the examination on February 15, saying only that this day was auspicious.

Another reason is that scholars everywhere are already accustomed to the time of the exam, and if you want to make many people miss the exam in advance, in order to get a scholar, you should naturally let more people take the exam.

The Nanjing Ministry of Rites was reasonable, and it did not make trouble for Bai Minghe.

The test questions and the method of the test are completely determined by the white crane, and the examiner is also determined by the white crane. Anyway, they are examiners, and they are not recruits, and the people in the Nanjing Ministry of Rites do not have too many requirements and restrictions.

When the Nanjing Rite Department began to accept applications in early February, the high valley that had disappeared from the city of Nanjing finally appeared.

"Elder Gao has contacted a lot of old friends!" Bai Minghe greeted him with a smile on his face.

Gao Gu bowed his hand as a gift, and then said to Bai Minghe with a smile: "Naturally, there are a lot of old friends, but many people are frightened by you, and they originally wanted to contact some people who were ready to sing against you, but unfortunately these people have no intention of making progress in Nanjing for a long time, and they just want to keep their positions for the rest of their lives." ”

Bai Minghe laughed dryly, thinking that Gao Gu's words should be fake.

However, whether it is true or not, it doesn't matter for now. One thing is for sure, Takaya will appear here, and he will definitely come to make trouble for himself.

"Elder Gao, I'm afraid I'm here for the exam."

"Sort of. But the old man thought you guessed wrong. Except for the date set by the Ministry of Rites, the rest of the examination is up to you. Of course, the location cannot be placed in the Tribute Courtyard, which is the unanimous opinion of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. Not for anything else, because there are miscellaneous studies in the content of your exam, and there are too many miscellaneous studies. ”

It's not looking for trouble. It's a compromise.

Gao Gu entered the room and sat down, his expression became a little stern: "Bai Minghe, the old man came this time because I hope you can listen to the old man." It's about you going to find King Yi to read with you, and it's unusual for the prince to read with you. And the identity of King Yi is special, so the old man thinks that he must go to the book to ask for long live the royal approval. ”

"Is this ...... necessary?" Bai Minghe said in his heart, it is not a big deal to find a few children to accompany Zhu Jianshen to study.

Takaya said sternly, "It's very necessary. Long live the royal approval. As soon as the news of Nanjing City appeared, it caused some chaos. Your white name is a crane and a genius, which is unusual in the eyes of the old man, so the old man hates you as a teacher, and the disciples you teach are not my Confucian disciples, which the old man himself is unwilling. ”

Bai Minghe nodded silently, Gao Gu's sentence was a big truth.

Takaya said again: "However, the old man has to admit it. You're white-named, and you're talented. Both the nobles and ordinary people in Nanjing also recognize that you are talented. They all believe that their children can learn a lot from you, and they can prosper the family business, so they have to live the royal approval. Don't look at Taizu Xun, respect Confucianism! ”

"Actually, I also received a Confucian moral education here."

Shirakawa pointed to his head.

Gao Gu nodded: "The old man believes this." Confucianism has been inherited for thousands of years, and my Chinese rites are derived from Confucianism. ”

Xunzi said: Confucianism is divided into vulgar Confucianism, elegant Confucianism, and great Confucianism. The sage said: There are gentlemen and villains. Those who are officials for thousands of miles just for money are all Confucians, of course, not Confucianism can't be officials, so the scolding is also Confucianism. Confucianism has a heavy name, but there are also names: up to the name, class name, and private name. So the younger generation thinks. Confucianism is not a book, but a heart. ”

Bai Minghe's words, put in the future generations of people who read a few more books, one out of ten can say it.

Coincidentally, Shira-naka happened to have read this kind of book, so he could also say a thing or two.

"When did Confucianism become domineering? What about not allowing other voices, not allowing non-Confucian officials? The battle of the literati is bloodier than the battlefield, and it will force the other party's family to be destroyed at every turn? Judging from the younger generations, Wu and Bi did not take Cheng Zhu's route. ”

When it comes to this person, Takaya has an impression.

"The old man knew this person, and he was recommended by the Shanxi Governor in the eleventh year of orthodoxy. Later Yushitai also recommended him to enter the court. In that year, the prefect of Fuzhou also recommended three times, but he refused and returned to his hometown to lecture, and lived a very poor life. ”

"His Confucianism is not limited to scholars. More are the disciples of business, industry and agriculture, and these people may not be officials in the future, so to speak, nine out of ten will not be officials. Could it be that the children of Confucianism have only one way to enter the ranks? Look at those poor talents, they only know how to read, they only know exams, what will they do except study? Do you know how to farm? Do you know how to cook? doesn't even support the chair when it falls, is this kind of goods a long face for Confucianism, or a shame? ”

Shirana's words caused Takaya to think deeply.

At least Shira-Natsuru was right about two things, his lifelong goal for Takaya's students was the imperial examination, and he really couldn't do anything but study.

"Useless is a scholar." Bai Minghe threw a cruel word.

Takaya shook his head, he didn't agree.

"Elder Gao, so be it. You and I are on the book, about the reading of King Yi. I'll listen to you about it, but let's make a bet. I'll write out the test questions these days and then make them public. I dare say that the showmen are basically rubbish. They can't pass the exam, they can't even be officials, and their only ability is to memorize four or five scriptures. ”

Shira's words made Takaya's face darken.

"Take a gamble!" Shiranaka Crane continues to put pressure on Takaya.

"How to bet? What is the stake? "Gao Gu is not weak.

Bai Minghe brought a pen and paper, and when he was about to grind, Takaya took the ink, and said to Bai Minghe: "The ink you grind always feels like scum!" ”

"Is the ink bad?" Bai Minghe's sentence even feels like he is quibbling. Because of his ink, how could it be bad. Gao Gu didn't even look at Bai Minghe, just lowered his head and concentrated on studying the ink.

Bai Minghe had no choice but to continue to talk about gambling: "What I want to bet on is that these talents, in addition to their abilities, in addition to being able to go back to their hometowns to teach the Three Character Scripture, will not exceed three percent of the truly useful talents." Of course, the test questions are made by me, and this test question is not only old and you can read it, but also the Ministry of Rites can read it, and I will post it. Let them take the exam with the knowledge of the test questions, and they can still use the three percent, and the rest can only go back to teach the Three Character Classic! ”

"Bet!" Gao Guxin said that if he didn't dare to gamble on this, how would they go out to meet people in the future.

"The bet is, if you lose. You have to personally invite Wu and Bi to Nanjing, and as for whether you can persuade him to come out, that's my business. ”

"If the old man wins, you will recite the Analects to the old man in Nanjing City, and then annotate it yourself."

There is no pressure to memorize the Analects, Bai Minghe has been in Daming for a year, in addition to Kumon, there is only one book that he really reads, that is, the Analects, and when it comes to annotations, Bai Minghe has also seen no less than ten different annotations.

You can let yourself annotate, and the white crane feels pressured.

On second thought, could I have lost?

"Write the paperwork, then sign it!" Shira-naka Crane decided that he would win.

In fact, Takaya didn't expect to lose either.

After the gambling contract was written, they didn't ask for a notary, and when it came to their status, the paper was all empty. People in this era of the Ming Dynasty are very trustworthy even if they are repeat offenders, once they lose their trust, there will be a feeling that there is no place between heaven and earth, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are also very avoidant of the untrustworthy.

Bai Minghe took out his own test paper.

Of course, it is impossible to post the real test paper, but the test questions can.

"The first set of test papers is accounting, which is divided into three papers, namely basic accounting, operational accounting, and cost accounting. The three papers are scored separately, and the exam questions we announced are that on the first day, the first paper is the ability to test the bookkeeping. The second paper is about calculating profits and the ability to calculate the loss of money, and the third is the paper on the production cost of a good in each workshop, and I even have the answer ready here. ”

"Is there one answer?"

"There is only one right answer to something, but there can be multiple processes to get to the right answer."

Takatani has also studied arithmetic, and Bai Minghe's words are reasonable.

"The next day, I took the logistics exam. It is also divided into three volumes, namely mechanics, volumetrics, and transportation. ”

"On the third day, the test is the human system, workshop management, dock management, and market management."

"Day 4......

Bai Minghe has been teaching for seven days, and he will only take the Analects on the seventh day, but the Analects are not the main exam questions, but the content of the main exam is the method of Mongolian learning.

Too many people in the Ming Dynasty are in rote memorization, and an excellent teacher can make these children familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, basic arithmetic, and have a certain amount of contact with the six arts of the gentleman before they are ten years old.

Many of the teachers who can only memorize by rote cannot even memorize a book of Analects when they reach the age of ten.

But Master Meng will not say that it is his own responsibility, only that the child is too stupid, which is why Bai Minghe wants to invite Wu and Bi to Nanjing, this person is already studying real pedagogy, how to make people learn to write, learn to apply knowledge to life, and learn to be bound by etiquette and religion in moral behavior in life.

"Useless scholars are scholars, especially those who have taken the township examination five times, and they are the waste of waste, and the grain residue can still pave the way, and they go back to study the children and mislead people's children, and the only way out for these people is to write letters on behalf of others on the street."

The more Bai Minghe spoke, the more powerful he became, and Gao Guqi's beard was trembling.

"Of course, if everyone in the Ming Dynasty is literate, what else can these showmen do? Is literacy also a privilege, and peasants and artisans cannot be literate? Bai Minghe's words really choked Takaya. (To be continued......)
