"Your main task this month is to read this article. "Chen Kan handed Jiang Kai an academic journal and selected one of the articles written by a professor at Peking University on the land system during the Tang Xuanzong period.www.biquge.info

"Read this paper in a month?" Jiang Kai frowned slightly and asked, his tone was quite disdainful, although the level of this magazine is very high, but this is only a journal paper, and the number of words is only more than 10,000 words, not to mention a month, he can read it ten times a day.

"Do you think it's easy?" Chen Kan asked with a smile.

Chen Kan was not surprised to have this kind of thought, because when he received this kind of training for the first time, he was also a little disdainful in his heart, and it was not too easy to read a paper of less than 20,000 words a month.

"It's, indeed, a little." Jiang Kai replied with his head down, his voice a little small.

"I haven't said my requirements yet, how can it be so simple to read a paper a month, there are requirements." Chen Kan said with a smile.

"Oh, teacher, you say." Jiang Kai nodded suddenly in realization.

"But since you want to learn, then you have to do as I ask." Chen Kan Zhengse said.

"Yes!" Jiang Kai nodded solemnly, he also took the initiative to come to Chen Kan in order to better train his academic foundation, and the stricter Chen Kan was with him, the better.

"If you want to do academics, then writing a thesis is a must, and an academic paper is mainly divided into arguments and arguments."

"Hmm."

"A good scholar will put together arguments and arguments closely, which is called detaching, and this is the most basic point of history, so in the next year, you will train this point."

"Hmm."

"And the best way to train is naturally to figure out and learn from other people's excellent papers, and see how others write them, and this paper I chose for you is very good, so my requirement for you is that you should find all the arguments used in these papers in their original texts, combine them with the original texts, and think about how the author uses this argument and how to make arguments."

"Okay." Jiang Kai nodded, although this is a bit complicated, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is not difficult.

"If the source of the original text you find is still a paper, you should read it in the same way, which means that in the end, all your arguments must go back to the original historical sources, and then interpret and review them, do you understand what I mean?"

"Ah...... Oh, got it. Jiang Kai was startled at first, and then nodded, his face was no longer as relaxed as before, and he was even a little flustered when he heard it, he was now a little skeptical that his decision to find Chen Kan was correct.

Because according to Chen Kan's requirements, it is definitely a very huge project, and it may not be possible to get a paper within a month, which is ostensibly to read a paper, but in fact, there are no less than 500 papers hidden behind it.

There are more than 80 references to this paper, of which about 40 are original historical materials, that is to say, there are 40 other papers, and according to Chen Kan's requirements, he has to read these 40 papers.

And the reading of these forty papers is exactly the same as the method of the one in his hand, which is simply an explosive function, and this amount is terrifying.

"This is very hard, you had better be mentally prepared, and not only just read the paper and it will be over, you also have to read other professional books, and you can't fall behind." Chen Kandao.

At this time, Chen Kan's smile was no different from the devil's smile in Jiang Kai's eyes, this was too ruthless, if he followed this approach, he would not have time to do other things at all, and it was estimated that he would be accompanied by these papers and books all day in the future.

But smart people use stupid methods, this is a kind of "stupid method", although it seems to be a waste of time and energy, but it is the best way to lay a foundation and hone historical thinking, not one of the only, Chen Kan was through such "torture" back then, before he was favored by Mr. Sang and accepted as a student.

Jiang Kai didn't answer immediately, gritted his teeth, thought for a while, looked at Chen Kan and said, "Okay, I understand, I'll try." ”

"Okay, then you can try it, this is not easy."

Chen Kan smiled, Jiang Kai only thought of reading those huge number of papers now, in fact, this is the easiest task in this way, Chen Kan did this kind of training back then, and he deeply understands that this seemingly huge number of papers read is actually the simplest part of this work.

The most difficult thing is to review, because they are all around a theme, so these papers are all around a theme, so in those papers, there will definitely be a situation, that is, the same material, in different papers, the interpretation is different or even opposite.

This is very troublesome, because Chen Kan asked Jiang Kai to make detailed notes, and then to review, this interpretation is different, if you want to review, it is even more difficult, he has to judge the relationship between these materials and different arguments, and then have his own trade-offs, which is very painful, if there is a difficulty in choosing, it is estimated that he will even have the heart to die when he does this.

But this will not be known until Jiang Kai himself goes to practice, it is not easy to read one article a month, but the road of history and academic is like this, if you want to succeed, you have to endure loneliness, as the so-called "bench has to sit for ten years cold", if he can't stand it for a month, then extinguish that heart.

Since then, Chen Kan has had two students, Yiwen and Wu, Jiang Kai and Han Wenfei, and under the guidance of Chen Kan, they each carried out this painful study.

Chen Kan assigned the task to Jiang Kai, Jiang Kai by the end of May, less than one-third of the completion, this is also expected by Chen Kan, the more the middle part of the paper, the more difficult it is, the slower the speed, but he is still persistent, and when he gets through this period, he will have a feeling of being reborn.

As for Han Wenfei, he is also very hard, even harder than Jiang Kai, Jiang Kai is only squeezing brain power at most, Han Wenfei is mental and physical strength together, practicing boxing every day, and will spare a lot of time to read books and pay attention to various current affairs every day, but his degree of resistance to pressure is much stronger than Jiang Kai, and for Chen Kan's task, it will definitely be completed within the time specified by Chen Kan.

Of course, Chen Kan is mainly doing his own research, Chen Kan just assigns tasks to them, asks about the progress during the morning exercise, and will not supervise or urge them, both of them are adults, have their own judgment ability, and will be responsible for their own choices, Chen Kan is at most a leader.

May passed slowly, June approached, and the time to board the ship arrived.
