43. The Magic of Time (I)

"I have to take the exam after the winter holiday for Mao, and I have to take the exam when I come back from the winter vacation, can I still let people spend a good holiday! Not to mention exams, we can still be friends! ”

"There's no way, the school teachers don't want to be like this, who likes to think about the exam questions during the New Year. But this is a death order made by the state pastor himself, and even Principal Hu has no right to change it. ”

"Why does Lord Zhou Mu have to be entangled in this exam, it's so sour that people want to fly."

"Who knows? Maybe the state pastor had a similar experience at the beginning, so he remembered it so deeply. ”

"Dead daddy!" ×2。

"Speaking of which, the recruitment advertisements for those caravans and powerful people outside have been getting stranger and stranger lately. If you join the caravan, you can be taught by the strong' This is normal, but why do those so-called 'strong' look at me so 'brilliantly'? Why does it sound like "You can build a palace filled with all kinds of beautiful girl paper but can't say your name" in the entire human society, why does it sound like you think that there is a possibility of becoming a certain senior sister, or simply ending up with the overlord of Xichu. 'Master the unspeakable survival skills of pouring you into a cement pillar if you lose your money, lose your money, and don't repay the money', even if you say so, I know that this is a violation of the decree that the state pastor is about to promulgate! It's even more strange to have the opportunity to get a special medicine that is extremely popular among women and can plump up the unspeakable parts of the neck down'! I'm sure I'll be a strange gentleman! ”

"So you're not going to sign up? It's really fun, oh no, it's gratifying, it's not right......"

"Actually, you're trying to say that as long as I don't sign up, you'll have one less competitor, right?"

"Xiaolin, listen to my explanation. You must listen to me. ”

"I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen......!!!"

"If you are so careful, I will go to Old Master Yan now, and tell Master Sù that you didn't move a word of the homework he assigned, so if you hand in the homework, you must not know who copied it from. The biggest one is probably my homework. ”

"Hero, please take my knees."

For ordinary people, after the winter festival means that the work of the year has entered a stage of pause, although now more and more citizens and suburban villagers in the state have begun to get used to taking on some work in the winter to earn extra money to subsidize the family, or to make more preparations for the busy new year after the Spring Festival, but after more than a thousand years of inherent thinking is not so easy to be broken, the winter after the winter festival is not short for most people is still based on a leisurely rhythm.

However, this is the only thing that can be said to be the opposite for students who are studying at the state school.

This is the busiest time for them, both mentally and physically.

Probably as the student from the official school said, because there have been too many similar tests in the history of the other plane. Therefore, Li Shushi was very disgusted and threw these "grindings" that he had undergone to Hu Zhao, the chief principal of the government school, and even from a certain point of view, Li Shushi's actions still have a tendency to intensify.

For example, there are very formal exams at the beginning and end of the two semesters every year, so that the group of bear children who don't even have a good vacation secretly don't know how many times they have cursed this Li Shushi who provided this idea.

It's just that in this era, although learning has basically been popularized with Li Shushi's efforts, the conditions are extremely harsh - after all, there are many places that need money under the rule, and they will not spend money to support idlers, let alone things such as the power of gifted people. Not to mention Li Shushi, even those village elders and the helmsmen of various families will scoff at this kind of thing.

If you don't get a good score. Not being able to go on to higher education is secondary, but if he fails too many times and is expelled from school, even if a wealthy family can get the opportunity to continue his education with money, he will still be despised by the people of the village, young and old, unless he has the ability to prove that he is only lacking in learning and has a talent that ordinary people elsewhere cannot match.

But even so, in this social environment created by Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guangwu Emperor. There is also a belief similar to the future that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", even if it is those generals who open up territory, or businessmen who have succeeded in buying real estate, or craftsmen who strive for perfection with whimsical ideas. They will also strive to improve their knowledge level and taste on the way to success or after success, so as to integrate into the intellectual class that controls the right to speak in this society.

Therefore, Li Shushi's approach will not arouse the opposition of readers, and even some radicals are very happy with this elimination system, even if they are poor, what is left after this elimination is bound to be high-quality. Even in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when there was already the beginning of the gate valve government, people still had great respect for the real talents, especially the highly educated ones.

For example, Zheng Xuan, whose father and ancestors can only farm at home, or Jia Kui, who was once extremely poor and almost had no clothes to wear in winter, may be despised by some people because of their background, but for most people and the public opinion of the whole society, they are obviously regarded as one of the most respectable people in this society.

The former became a figure like Wenzong, and the son of the latter became a powerful minister in the Sima regime, which highly valued his origin.

But as long as he thought of the legendary Jia Nanfeng, Li Shushi suddenly had an urge to kill someone's son secretly.

Therefore, even if the bear children protest again, the examination system advocated by Li Shushi has never been canceled, but after several years of practice, the scoring standards have been refined step by step, so that teachers can better evaluate the students' efforts and knowledge mastery, so that the bear children who are not very fond of learning and not smart enough are even more miserable.

Of course, according to the concept of this era, the means of "persecuting" students in government schools are naturally not only the way of examination, for example, there will be one or two ten-day holidays in summer and autumn every year according to local conditions, which is the so-called "agricultural vacation" that has disappeared for a long time in the cities of modern society. The school will organize students at all levels to go to the fields to help the farmers complete the harvest work of the season, and in the evening, the senior students will also organize some reading and literacy teaching activities for the local people, so that those people know that led by Li Shushi, Cheng Yu and others participated, Su Xiaololi, Hu Zhao, Sima Fang, Huangfu Song led the editor-in-chief such as "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text", although it cannot really replace the status of "Urgent Chapter" as an enlightenment in this era. But it's also a good extension.

In the eyes of many students, compared with the winter and summer vacations, the agricultural holiday is more like a real holiday, because the official school will not organize a variety of exams before and after the holiday, and the old farmers in the field are in awe that they are all scholars, unless they are their own children, they not only have a respectful attitude towards students from other places, but also do not let them participate too much in farm work - for some children from wealthy families, it may not be a big deal to let them conduct research on the sidelines. But if you really pick up farm tools and go to work in the fields, it's already thankful that you don't help, it's better to send water and food to the old farmers on the side, and then take the opportunity to read a book or something.

Li Shushi can only turn a blind eye to such a situation, anyway, although he did not experience agricultural leave when he was studying in modern society, he also went to the countryside to learn farming, so it can be said that such an activity is not so much to learn something, but to cultivate a spirit. Let a person know the hard work of farmers and the hard-won food, and don't waste it lightly. In the course of future governance, we should not make a whim to make any decision, and then make the local people angry and resentful, and make the people's hearts repeated.

When he reached the senior year, he could not only take the school's recommendation letter to the competent unit of any county-level or county-level administrative unit under Li Shushi's rule during the holidays, but also become a member of the junior official under his management. It's just that because of the time, usually the students can only move around. Unless you are about to graduate and face employment pressure (is there any?) Prospective graduates can go further afield to find opportunities to exercise, and this area is either known to their family members or is related to another activity of the senior students, in addition to learning the knowledge given by the teacher, Li Shushi also added a whole year of practice in between.

In fact, this kind of practical learning is quite similar to the popular young scholars who go out to study in this era. These senior students will travel through the mountains and rivers under Li Shushi's rule in a year's time, and can even go to hostile areas incognito, simply travel to the mountains and rivers or really go deep into a certain place to investigate and practice, or carry out other activities, the government and school will not make restrictions, as long as the report submitted after a year can let the master of the audit give a relatively high evaluation.

In this regard, Li Shushi said that he has always been very open-minded.

Anyway, he himself was just pointing fingers, except for the strong demand to increase the number of exams and preparing some questions that even he didn't know the exact answers to, the rest of the professional questions were thrown to Hu Zhao, the head principal.

Anyway, Hu Zhao is reluctant to come out to be an official, although strictly speaking, he, the head principal, can already be regarded as an orthodox bureaucrat, whether it is the minister of education in modern society or the doctor of the Five Classics in this era, he is the representative position of the official education system.

As long as you can put your body and mind into the course of a day, it is actually a flash, but people's interests are different, and in the senior year, they will adopt a course selection system similar to that of a university according to the wishes of students, but when they are younger, they still force students to dabble in a wide range of subjects, rather than specialize in one subject as soon as they come up, after all, what Li Shushi lacks most is grassroots talents. As for the high-tech or something, he has already poached a group of people from the east, west, north and south, and those young talents and young cadres cultivated by the powerful families are still waiting in line to be "lucky" by Li Shushi, not to mention that the low-level bureaucrats who came from the Zhen family and the Yan family in those years have gradually reached the point where they can take charge on their own, even if there are a large number of these people who are not capable enough to support them to continue to move forward, but even if only a small part can continue to be promoted, they still need enough places to be placed, Not to mention that as Li Shushi's old subordinates who had meritorious and hard work in the early days of his career, the promotion of these people still needs to be prioritized, even if they are actually unknown people.

It seems to be a bit far-fetched, all in all, unless it has reached the shameless Cheng dù, it is in this season close to the final exam. Even if they have just come out of the joy of the winter holiday, they have to try their best to concentrate and study hard, even if they are cramming, they have to cope with the final exam, after all, even if they are children of a large family, this kind of final exam is not only related to their status in the family, but also related to whether they will receive more support in the next year.

That's why exams are good. In a relatively fair environment, people with disparities in status have the opportunity to compete for the winner, even the slings have the opportunity to counterattack Gao Fushuai, or let Gao Fushuai indisputably reach a higher peak in life.

As long as you have enough confidence in your own ability, you are very fascinated by the stimulation of this competition.

Although Li Bai is not one of the best small group of people in his grade, the gap between him and that group is not hopeless, and it is possible to squeeze into that circle if he breaks out occasionally, but he can't stay there for long.

So he still got a lot of respect in school, and with his family background, there are still people who are willing to socialize with him more.

After all, he is a child of the Li family. Even if this family plays the role of a background board most of the time, as Li Shushi's status increases, the status of this family will naturally rise.

Maybe because Li Shushi has no direct blood relationship with this family, if he goes further in the future, he will only try to make his lineage develop and grow, but this family is still Li Shushi's background after all, as long as he doesn't die by himself, he can always get a certain amount of special care, especially those who are gradually withering away from the older generation who were forcibly stuffed into this family by Tong Yuan.

If it is strictly divided, Li Bai should belong to the third generation of members of the Li family related to Li Shushi. But if it's not so clear, then it's either him or his father. can be regarded as the younger generation of the Li family.

It has been said before that the older generation of the members of this family is extremely resistant to Li Shushi, who has "tarnished" the ancestor's bloodline, and even if it weren't for Tong Yuan's Cunzài, which is too special for this family, and at the same time, it has experienced the turmoil of the death of Li Shushi's nominal grandfather Li Yan, so that this family will not be as glorious as it used to be when Li Shushi entered Xihe, or even the declining Xishan can be regarded as a compliment to this family. It is estimated that a civil strife is inevitable.

But poverty is a change of thought, for such a declining family that no longer minds the descendants of the family taking huge risks to go out to do business, but only to continue the survival of the family, except for a few old stubborn, the rest of the family children do not seem to be completely unacceptable to accept an outsider who can bring prosperity to the family. Anyway, Li Shushi is also surnamed Li, maybe he was an ancestor five hundred years ago.

So, from the younger generation of Li Dang and others, to their children and nephews, who are now Li Bai's generation, they followed Li Shushi forward, and then reaped the glory, rejuvenating the already crumbling family, and it is even possible that when Li Shushi comes into contact with higher power and becomes independent from this family, he will become a family of gate valves in the new era.

This is the common dream of all the young generation who support Li Shushi in the Li family, and naturally includes Li Bai's father, who is now a leader in Li Shushi's personal defense force, and a middle-aged uncle in his forties who may retire at any time.

"Ah Bai, you can be regarded as coming back, hurry up and lend me your class notes, I didn't understand what the old master taught today when I was in class, and I didn't block the master after class, if you can't get an answer here, then I'll be miserable."

It was his roommate Song Lin who asked Li Bai for help, and he was also his best friend, who belonged to the kind of study that was not serious enough most of the time on weekdays, and could only rely on the temporary cramming at the end of the semester or a few days before the start of school, but obviously Song Lin's mind was not bad, even so he could get a passable score, which was naturally insufficient compared to Li Bai, but it would never appear in the list of members who needed to be preached or severely punished by the master, if there were no major problems, it was okay to be a small official after graduation.

Of course, to be able to intersect with Li Bai, it is obvious that this Song Lin will not only have such a little ability, or be clever.

In fact, as long as you see this guy's face, you can know the direction of this guy's future development - rough face, Kong Wu powerful body, and all kinds of physical exercises and martial arts practice on weekdays are simply to the point of magic Cheng dù's hobby, even the old masters feel that this guy has obviously chosen the wrong place to study. In fact, even Song Lin himself didn't think so.

It's just that whoever made his food and clothing parents is also his biological father requires that he must at least graduate from the intermediate class of the state official school, and then he will consider whether to let him enter the Qinglong Shrine for further study, or simply join the army and take the path of military school.

Song Lin didn't think about it at the Qinglong Shrine or something, because he was famous because of his qualifications when he was young, even if he knew a lot, he didn't think he had the ability to go further, even if his father had a fortune because of his father as a successful wool merchant, but he himself was very skeptical about what he could learn in the Qinglong Shrine.

On the contrary, the latter road he felt was more feasible. However, if you want to follow this path, you need not only to have a good body and enough merit, but also to have more knowledge. This also became an important reason why he worked hard to persevere in the official school until graduation, even if he was not actually interested in the things that the old master taught in class every day.

Of course, knowing more words is also good for learning military books and war strategies in the future, at least the chance of being deceived may be less - if he doesn't know that in a certain modern society, those so-called highly educated and high-IQ people will also be deceived by the evil sect and the spread of the pie, even if the family is bankrupt or the wife is separated, or it is not uncommon to simply put on a green hat and step on the turtle.

"That's right, Xiaolin. After the beginning of spring, we are going to prepare for a year-long school trip, do you have any favorite places? ”

"Favorite place? There are places I really want to visit. I'd like to visit Heijo if I have time, but I've heard that the popularity of the area seems to have taken a big toll after the war. Or in the clouds, if you don't just run away and go to the recently rebuilt Jiluce or Dachengsai, I don't know if it will let me be an ordinary student to travel there. If Ji Luce can't do it, I will retreat to Linrong and Guangmu, and I would have liked to see it in the Hetao area of Monan. ”

"That's a pity, I'm going to go to the north to have a look, maybe I'll take a temporary job in Fuping or Lian County to exercise."

"Oh~ I can't see that Ah Bai, you are weak and weak, and you will run to such a dangerous place. I've heard that the Xianbei People's Western Route Army sent a whole division as a partial division to attack Lian County, but it seems that the bloody battle failed to capture it on the 17th day, but it also caused the soldiers and civilians in the city to lose nearly half. ”

"Talking so fiercely, aren't you tempted yourself?"

"Hehe, it's not like there's no way, if I propose to go to that kind of place, my old man will probably pick me up and cramp. The north side is a bit dangerous, but he has a lot of friends over there, and he can take care of me wherever I go, so it's relatively safer. I'd love to break through, but unfortunately I still need him to support the tuition fees for the next few years. ”

seems to have thought that although Song Linna is extremely successful in business, he is somewhat ...... in educating his son It seems that the word "impatient" would be more accurate to describe his father, and Li Bai couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

The father in the world can probably be divided into two kinds, he is completely a door god in front of his son, or he will do some strange or handsome behavior in front of his son from time to time.

Song Lin's father should be the best of the latter, and his father ......

As if thinking of something interesting, the smile on Li Bai's face became a little thicker.

With such a good mood, Li Bai spread out the high-quality white paper he had just asked his father to buy, picked up the pen, and wrote words on it that he didn't know what the content was, but judging from his smile that had not diminished and occasionally increased, it was obviously some happy things.

Pan Sen: By the time we read this chapter, we should have been on the train, a long journey...... A little looking forward to it and a little apprehensive~ (to be continued......)
