Chapter 253 Scientific Expedition

At the same time that the war in northern Xinjiang has received everyone's attention, Ren Taixu and others are also about to take the township test!

For most scholars, the township examination is extremely important, and many scholars may find it difficult to leave their names on the list in their lifetime!

Didn't you see Fan Jinzhongju go crazy directly?

Once you are promoted in the township examination and become a lifter, you can be regarded as having the capital to be an official, and if you have some money at home, you can make up for an official position.

Generally speaking, the county leaders in each county are held by the local clansmen!

Of course, it is not enough to be rich, but also to have fame, both of which are indispensable!

On this day, it was the day of the scientific expedition, and the sky had just dawned, and Ren Taixu left the East Courtyard after making a little preparation with the help of his own scholars.

The Tribute Courtyard held by the Township Trial is not far from the house where they live more, after all, both are built according to a similar pattern, and looking at the Tribute Courtyard Ren Taixu and a few people also feel inexplicably familiar!

Ren Taixu and the four Jiang brothers, who were friends with him, sorted out the items they should carry with them, and then headed for the Gongyuan.

Arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan on time, the township examination is the second pass of the scientific examination, and it is not as particular as the entrance examination, but there should still be an inspection, Ren Taixu raised his arm, let the official search it, and carried the checked basket in.

The basket contained the four treasures of the study, and the dry food needed for three days, yes, they scholars need to stay in this tribute courtyard for three days, whether it is eating, sleeping or going to the toilet, they are guarded!

It's really uncomfortable to go to the toilet and be watched!

Ren Taixu is better, after all, with his current martial arts realm, it is not difficult to simply control the metabolism for three or five days.

Soon after the opening of this dynasty, most of the imperial examination systems were modeled on those of the previous dynasties, and of course they could not but be distinguished, and they were added or subtracted from the imperial examination system of the previous dynasties.

The scale of the Fugong Courtyard is much larger than that of the County Tribute Courtyard, it seems, it is a brilliant starlight, the palace lamp is hung at the gate, and the sentry is even more clothed in iron armor, the footsteps are stacked, and the ghost light flashes in the night, and from time to time I see the foreman's Jiupin military attache patrolling.

Ren Taixu walked into the Gongyuan, first led into a compound, the gate of this courtyard is the north gate, in normal times is nothing, just an ordinary door, but on the day of the scientific expedition, this north gate is called the "dragon gate", take the nature is a good omen, students pass by, the fish leaps into the dragon gate.

Behind the dragon gate is a courtyard, and according to the regulations, students who come in for the exam must wait here for the roll call.

When Ren Taixu walked here, Jiang Ruowen and the four behind him followed again!

Tan Hang changed his white clothes from the past today, but he wore a long blue dress, but with a touch of bright red on his belt!

It looked a little weird, and the rest of the people laughed a few words!

Tan Hangcai explained that this red belt means "red circle", and the red circle is circled by the examiner, which means that it is on the list!

This is also an auspicious meaning!

Of course, Tan Hang's actions are not unique, at this time, Ma Xinjie and the three of them are wearing red ropes that they asked for in Laojun Temple a few days ago.

The behavior of the four people made Ren Taixu feel normal, and there were too many scholars who were worse than them in the township test every year!

Just before entering the venue, Ren Taixu and the four of them also saw an old man with white hair and looked sixty or seventy years old.

This old man is not from a bad family, and his dress today is extremely exaggerated, with a soaring top hat in the costume on his head, and a bright red robe, on which dozens of koi fish are embroidered with gold thread.

These koi fish are all in good spirits, and they are all making a gesture of joy and about to jump over the dragon gate!

The people around him didn't think it was unusual, after all, according to the old man's age, he might not have been lifted for decades.

Decades of accumulation may be enough!

What's the difference?

It can't help but make people wonder if the luck in the dark does not favor them!

The bad thing is a bit of luck!

This is not a joke, after all, if you are really unlucky, you just encounter a topic that you are not familiar with, which is really difficult!

If I was lucky, I even just reviewed a few scripture answers, but I just hit it!

And luck is not only experienced in the questions on the exam paper, but also in the external environment!

For example, the environment in which the number of houses is allocated, such as whether the emperor will suddenly push grace and increase the number of people in this place......

Of course, for the few friends he made, Ren Taixu believed that they could be lifted.

Not only are these four people knowledgeable enough, but also because these people are all first-class, promising, and lucky!

It is difficult for them to pass the township examination, but they are all coming to the township examination for the first time, and they can't help but be a little worried.

Ren Taixu saw the worry in their hearts, and couldn't help but comfort: "I have been studying hard for ten years in the cold window, and today is the time to be on the list and famous in the state capital, this is an opportunity for my generation to become famous, so I can relax for the time being." ”

When the rest of the people heard what Ren Taixu said, they all smiled lightly.

I have to say that although Ren Taixu is the youngest among them, and although his family background is not bad, he is still a few points worse than the other four.

But Ren Taixu has a graceful demeanor, excellent personality charm, and the most calm personality, not easy to speak, once he speaks, it is the final word, so he has the right to speak, but he has faintly become the center of everyone!

The words are also the most convincing!

After a short time, the four of them entered the number room of their own exams according to their own test numbers.

The genius is slightly lit, and the examination room gave three thick and long candles, the candles were only implemented in the previous dynasty, this is the white yuan candle, the price is not small, and it is obvious that the court has spent money.

These students present are all reserve officials of the imperial court, so they are naturally willing!

Ren Taixu glanced at it and didn't use it, this is one a day, so that candidates can use it at night, and now that the exam has not started, naturally he will not use it.

There are people walking on both sides, the sound of turning things, the sound insulation is not strong, the area of each house is not large, the left and right are only a little more than a meter, there is no couch and table, only two wooden boards, which can be placed on the partition on both sides of the wall to act as a seat and table.

When you go to bed at night, you probably need to put these two planks together. The environment is not good, but whether it is Ren Taixu or other candidates, they will not have opinions, as early as before coming in, they have been mentally prepared, knowing that the three days of the township examination will not be good.

There are two wooden barrels not far away, one is filled with water, which is three days' supply, and the other is empty, which is used for excretion, both have lids, but as long as you want to eat, drink, and sleep in this small space, people like Ren Taixu who are not demanding of the environment can't help but be a little worried, not to mention anything else, these days, I am afraid that the nose will be full of smell.

In addition to these, there are also charcoal copper basins, etc., which Ren Taixu glanced at and skipped over.

He didn't sit down immediately, but stood in this house, slowly moving his body joints, and the people in the opposite house were also a little idle, although the sky was not yet bright, but his eyes were good, and he saw the appearance of this place clearly.

After a while, there were errand officers in the examination room who sent pen and ink inkstones, which were the same as the county exams, which were uniformly issued by the government, so as not to allow anyone to use the ink color at different prices to achieve the effect of cheating.

Ren Taixu sat down and slowly sharpened the ink, still a little upset and irritable in his heart, and it took a long time to slowly settle down.

The day was getting brighter, and the rest of the scholars were eating, and Ren Taixu just drank some water.

He has decided to minimize his diet these days and address the root causes of the environment's problems.

As long as you reduce eating and drinking, coupled with Ren Taixu's intentional control, you will naturally not pull a sare.

At that time, there will be less bad atmosphere around, which can make Ren Taixu have a better exam atmosphere!

Immediately after that, there were errand officers in the examination room to deliver the examination papers, and when it came to the township examination, everything was not in order, and the examiner and the candidate had to pass the errand if they had any contact, they were not allowed to speak in private.

The exam question paper was packed in a sealed envelope, and Ren Taixu took it out and looked at it, and sighed secretly.

Sure enough, everyone guessed well, and the war in Northern Xinjiang was really tested!

The provincial test does not have the basic skills of poetry, scripture and Moyi of the county test, and all of them are major questions of scripture and righteousness.

The Four Books and Five Classics are a total of 400,000 words, and 200,000 words are to be memorized.

It can be said that the education of private schools in the countryside can only show talents at most, so there are county schools and government schools for further study.

"Volume I, On the Tables of Subjects."

The so-called subject table is the basic format of official documents in this world, and all kinds of basic official documents are written according to the events given - if you don't go to county school or government school, you can't learn it at all.

"Volume 2, History and Strategy."

"The third volume, on the five ways of scripture and righteousness, is the most important."

"The examination question of the war in Northern Xinjiang is in the second volume - Asking Strategies"

Ren Taixu looked at the exam questions and estimated in his heart that this was just a township exam, and the candidates' papers were naturally difficult to attract the attention of the upper echelons.

Therefore, even if Ren Taixu writes out specific measures to solve the war in Northern Xinjiang, the chief examiner may still think that Ren Taixu is another governor of Northern Xinjiang, but he will exaggerate!

Therefore, Ren Taixu's answer to the question is also to take a long-term view, in order to seek stability, Ren Taixu still decided to reduce the strategy of military affairs, and the net amount of this northern Xinjiang matter will be involved in the education and people's livelihood of northern Xinjiang!

In any case, it will not be wrong to educate the world and govern the people's livelihood!

This is political correctness that belongs to those who read!

If you really keep putting forward opinions on battle strategies, it is naturally good to meet an examiner with vision.

But if the examiner doesn't like this strategy very much, and directly knocks Ren Taixu off the list, it will be a big loss!

After reviewing the questions, Ren Taixu began to answer!

In terms of the various subjects, in fact, the essence is the same as the basic skills of poetry, scriptures, and Moyi, which are the basic skills of Kumon.

These things can be said to be the memory of the supervisor, and for this kind of thing, Ren Taixu has a great advantage!

Because Ren Taixu has a talent that ordinary people don't have - never forget.

After awakening his memory, although he majored in martial arts, he did not give up on his miscellaneous studies in his previous life, Dan Dao.

Combined with the pharmacology of this world, Ren Taixu also created several pills.

Among them, the most useful is the Divine Soul Pill, with this elixir, while Ren Taixu's physique increases, his own Divine Soul power is also constantly increasing.

After the growth of the divine soul, Ren Taixu did not rely entirely on the elixir, but also combined with the insight of the previous life, he created a superficial method that could increase the divine soul without the help of the spiritual energy of the upper realm!

With the exercises, Ren Taixu's divine soul power continued to rise, and he naturally had unforgettable memories.

There are a lot of miscellaneous questions in this township exam, and the knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics is very detailed.

If you don't have an extraordinary memory, or if you go through the tactics of the sea of questions, or thousands of exercises every day, it will be difficult to adapt to it.

It is no wonder that many students who take the township examination for the first time often fail to adapt to the intensity of the examination and collapse physically and mentally.

"If you haven't learned, or if you don't learn well, it's hard to get it, and it's full of mistakes and omissions, if you do, it will hardly cost you your brain to write, but fortunately I'm still proficient."

Ren Taixu quickly devoted himself wholeheartedly, and in order to be cautious, he still used a draft first, a total of seven official document formats, and wrote it with a brush.

After carefully checking it, I found that there were no mistakes or omissions, so I logged in to the official paper.

I blew the ink, and when I saw that the ink was dry, I folded it and put it away.

"The second volume is on history and policy."

"On history is a commentary on history, and a discussion on policy is a commentary on what is happening now, which can be called a comprehensive account of the past and the present."

"It's a call for political correctness! If you evaluate the history of the previous dynasty, there is a lot of praise in your words, and it seems to be very respectful, even if it is reasonable and true, but most of them are not good! ”

"After all, if the previous dynasty is really so good, wouldn't it question the legitimacy of the Daliang regime?"

"Since the previous dynasty is so good! Why did Taizu rebel? ”

Ren Taixu raised his eyebrows, and understood the official intentions.

There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and reading can be said to be the only way for the poor to break through the social class, so everyone who has a little money supports their children and grandchildren to study.

However, the imperial court only needs one or two hundred vacancies every year, and most of them have to be screened out.

"Kumon is based on basic office skills, and you can't take a reader who doesn't know anything."

"History and strategy are the basic decision-making management."

"It's good to say that history has been determined, and the main thing is to stick to the word loyalty and diligence of the official, and the strategy is to ask how to do things."

"I can only shout, usually talk about my heart with my hands, and report to the king when I die, I am afraid that I will show my cowardice and ugliness in my strategy."

The so-called question for the war in the northern Xinjiang in the second volume!

Ren Taixu does not talk about the details of the war in northern Xinjiang, most of them talk about people's livelihood and education, and he does not focus on describing the war, but he does not understate it, which makes people feel that he does not attach importance to it.

Focus on describing the facts, using Spring and Autumn penmanship, writing is reasonable, convincing, and people can't find a trace of fault!

Although this article is not very impressive, it is excellent for exams!

Some people say that Baguwen can't produce peerless articles!

That's right!

Peerless articles need inspiration, haven't you heard that the article is natural, but it's just a clever hand?

If you really write an article according to the title and outline at a glance, it is difficult to be brilliant!

Don't you see that after Li Bai was drunk, the article he wrote was excellent?

Wang Xizhi's Lanting collection preface is also a swan song after getting drunk!

After answering the war in Northern Xinjiang, Ren Taixu just saw the next policy topic - the governance of the Jiangnan waterway, which is to ask the strategy to govern the river!

Ren Taixu was really surprised, there was a war in the north before, which attracted the attention of people all over the world, but it made people ignore the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, the rain in the south, and the floods, and the accumulation of rivers, once a flood occurred, it was definitely not a simple problem!

Moreover, this time the war with the northern Xinjiang was enumerated, which made Ren Taixu understand that it must not be simple at this time!

Observe the situation in the north and south!

This couldn't help but make Ren Taixu think of the scene of the last years of the dynasty!

The war situation in the north is erosive, this is a man-made disaster!

Floods in the south, this is a natural disaster!

The last years of the dynasty are often natural disasters and man-made disasters at the same time!

I thought of the faces of my four friends I saw before, but with the world-shattering, wealth should not be in the face of today.

For a while, Ren Taixu couldn't help but have more thoughts in his heart.

Could it be that it is only 60 years since the founding of the country, and it is the great beam of the strong period that is really about to overturn?

Shaking his head, Ren Taixu cleared the thoughts in his mind, anyway, his future is not in the beam!

Now I come to the imperial examination just to meet the expectations of my family, and my way back is still only the way of detachment!

Regardless of whether the girder is about to capsize or not, you shouldn't pay too much attention to it!

Now it's the right way to answer the question!
