Chapter 62: Transcription I

With these 2,000 wen per month, the family situation is naturally much better, and there is no need to eat porridge to get by.

Having said that, but in the end, in the end, it has been losing money for many years, and it is not a matter of one day to adjust this body, Fang Xin thought about it, but he was ready to use the method of "turning qi into qi with faith", anyway, this is not the body.

The so-called "turning faith into qi" is actually the mystery of faith, such as people's devout faith, attracting the nourishment of the holy light**, if you know the secret method, you can even turn the void into reality, into the life and power in the body - all the miracles in the human body, all come from this sentence, is the supreme mystery of religion.

In the case of devout believers, this simultaneous transformation of body and mind, there is a very apt word in earthly Christianity: "saints", or "with God".

Fang Xin has merit in his body, and these things do not need to be taught, and they will be naturally comprehended.

Sure enough, at this time, as soon as I thought about it, the holy light came, from top to bottom, and with the method, it was natural to slowly transform the physique and refine the power, but this power, close to the holy power, is not simply the essence of the spirit.

In the night, when you wake up in the morning, your body is already full of holy light, and after a while, you can condense the holy power, although it is only a few days, but it has already begun to be reborn.

Pushing open the door, the sky was still bright, Fang Xin saw the figure flickering, and hurriedly ran over.

"Mother, why did you come out so early? Don't have many breaks? Fang Xin saw his mother He, but he had already come out early and started weaving.

Mother He glanced at the simple inner room and said: "My son, you are already fifteen years old, and in a year or two, you should get married. I'll give you a family affair again, and then I'll talk about it. In the future, if you want to take the exam, the money for going to the provincial capital must always be kept for you. ”

"Mother, I told you, I'll deal with these things, isn't it a dignified man. Can't make that money yet? Fang Xin said helplessly.

But seeing that although his mother He is responding, his subordinates are non-stop, and he is helpless at the moment, pity the parents of the world, how can his mother He rest more. It's serious to raise more money for your son.

Knowing that he couldn't be persuaded at this time, he could only wear new clothes and go straight to the Shen Mansion to the library building.

This library building was originally a part of the Shen Mansion's family learning, and since Shen Sicheng was known from Jiangfu, he copied part of the family's collection of books here, which was used by children and grandchildren to read. Therefore, it was originally newly built, and since Shen Xia, the son of the Shen family, began to take charge of affairs, he sent people to collect countless volumes, and now there are 12,000 volumes.

Of course, Fang Xin knew Shen Xia's intentions. It's nothing more than recording it and taking it back to the empire to exchange points and resources, but unfortunately, this is also a lot of work, and there are some things that the empire originally had, so it is naturally not rare. Some things are rare. But you may not be able to tell the difference, of course, the most important thing is. There's no scanning or anything like that, so I'm just reading it myself.

After inquiring, sure enough, this Shen Xia has already been promoted, all these years, he has been studying, day by day, which makes Shilin and the officialdom look at each other differently - this kind of style, even if he is not an official, he can achieve the name of Confucianism in the future, and he will not fall into the Shen family's family, and maybe he will add some scholarly atmosphere.

Twelve thousand volumes, Fang Xin is not afraid.

He lived on the third floor, full of books, except for a table, a chair and a couch, and there was no one on the third floor, although the library building was originally guarded by three people, but it was idle, and it was to arrange the worry-free work of those generations of old servants, so of course these three people could not hinder their work, except for the first day to come up to see, the other days did not read.

"As I wish, as I wish." Fang Xin saw that there was no one around, so he stacked up the four thousand books on the third floor, divided them into a stack of hundreds, arranged them on the table and the couch, and then launched the merit, suddenly, his eyes flashed a little golden light, and then Fang Xin quickly flipped through the book, as long as one page was swept over, there were not many pages in ancient times, one was only a few dozen pages, and it was quickly swept at the moment, and there was not much time, a stack of a hundred books was finished.

The hand didn't stop anymore, and he flipped through the second stack, and after turning ten stacks like this, Fang Xin stopped, and the golden light in his eyes faded.

"Fortunately, the merit consumption is not large, every hundred books probably consume one merit, but 12,000 books, it also consumes one hundred and twenty merits, then after completion, my merit is only two hundred and forty copies, sure enough, the accumulation is very slow, but the consumption is always insufficient." Of course, this is not the first day, seeing that the four thousand books on the third floor have been read and recorded, Fang Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

Jade Ruyi can not only act on the soul, but also produce memory cells for this body, although this is just to write it down, it does not mean that you understand what it means, it is like opening a library in the brain, you can search for it, but this is already a very great achievement.

Li Rui doesn't know anything else, but the imperial examination system is really his lifeline, and he will never ignore it, so Fang Xin, who has inherited his memory, of course understands that the imperial examination system in this world has very obvious hierarchical requirements.

Tongsheng, that is, the county exam, as the name suggests, is the county organization exam, Tongsheng basically does not test any scripture interpretation, in fact, it is a fill-in-the-blank question, that is, in the Analects, take out a paragraph, deduct a few words, you can fill it in, the test is two points, the first point is to basically memorize the Analects, the second point is to see how you write the words - if you can pass, you can wear Confucian clothes, it is for children.

Then there is the county examination, which is a subject every three years, which is held in each county in August, also known as "Qiuqiu". The examiner is an official dispatched by the central government. Before the start of the examination, each candidate was assigned an independent examination house, called the "number house", and no food was allowed, the food was provided by the examination room, and the pen and ink were the same, and the number was seated after the inspection - the examiner was a showman.

Xiucai is already considered an official, and he can parade the country with a sword, and if he is an official, he can be an official from the ninth grade.

Therefore, the content of the exam, on the first day, is the scriptures, just like filling in the blanks and dictation of modern poetry scrolls. The examiner selects a page from the scriptures and prints one line on the test paper. According to this line of text, candidates are asked to fill in the context associated with it, and in general, the best ones can answer all of them.

The next day is Moyi, the so-called Moyi. It is a simple question and answer question that revolves around the meaning of the scriptures and commentaries, that is, a question. If you directly memorize the corresponding passage and write it down, the assessment of memory will be even more obvious.

On the third day, it is the scriptures, the so-called earth scriptures, which are discussions around the principles of the book. It is to look at the high and low in terms of the core interpretation of the scriptures, and naturally, it is indispensable to quote the scriptures.

The Xiucai exam is mainly based on the first two paragraphs, and the final Jingyi exam is naturally not very demanding. Therefore, Fang Xincai felt that it was not difficult to get Xiucai, and the level of second-order ancient literature was only good in words and good in memory.

If it comes to the exam, of course, it is difficult to simply memorize, among which the scriptures are the most important, and it can be said that the world is equally divided.

When it came time for the Jinshi exam, he also asked about the strategy. Based on the questions raised by the examiner about economic meaning or political affairs, candidates express their opinions and propose countermeasures. The scope of the policy is wider and more difficult. But you can see the opinions of the candidates, after all, the exam is an official, and some talent is still needed.

Poetry is also tested, but this is considered a literary talent, and it is not a key point in any game. It's just an embellishment. It can rhyme neatly, although those who are excellent can get extra points.

Now Fang Xinruo memorized all the 12,000 volumes. It is not a problem to get a show, and it is still a little bit of a problem to understand the exam, and it will take several years to get a good foundation.

Since Fang Xin already knew the contents of the 4,000 books, he immediately spread out the rice paper, concentrated on grinding the ink, and then began to edit the bibliography, labeled the wooden shelves one by one, and logged the table of contents to the general sticker.

After only being busy for a while, it was almost noon, Fang Xin was about to go downstairs, waiting for someone to bring a food box, but he heard the sound of going upstairs, and saw the girl who followed Shen Xiadi that day, holding the corner of her skirt in one hand and the food box in the other.

"What are you?" Fang Xin asked in surprise.

"Childe heard that you were flipping through the books and asked me to take a look." The girl was not polite, glanced around, and frowned: "What are you doing here?" Took all the books out? ”

"The book is very messy, so I'll divide it into an outline." Fang Xin said indifferently, but he thought in his heart, it turned out that Shen Xia had been paying attention to his actions.

"It's messy?"

"Well, take a look!" Fang Xin pointed to the title of the book that had been registered on the general outline and said, in fact, this is basic common sense for any modern person, Shen Xia didn't do this because he was a son, and it was just improper to do this.

This girl is literate, take it and take a look, finally understood, nodded and said: "It turns out that this is the case, indeed, this method is good, it will be much easier to find books in the future, it seems that you still have some ability, well, this is the reward given to you by the son, you eat, after eating, I will take it back, and report to the child." ”

It seems that if you are not satisfied with the answer, you will not have to eat, Fang Xin thought so, but asked her name, it turned out that her name was Lin Xiang, and she took the food box from her hand and opened it on the table.

There is a pot of wine, a carp, a small plate of peanuts, no soup, because it is easy to splash, there is an extra fried pork slices, which is already a very good treatment, and the concubine of the main family is just one more dish and a soup.

Immediately invited Lin Xiang to sit down, and began to eat it himself, at this time, he paid attention to food and was silent, so Fang Xin didn't have to speak, a pot of wine was actually very little, but it was only two or two, and the degree was low, so he ate it quickly and returned the food box.

"Then upstairs and downstairs, all tidyed up, how many days will you have?"

"If it's me, it's about a month, and if the three people below listen to me, about ten days is enough." Fang Xin said very comfortably.

"In this way, you can adjust them to work, reset it according to your ideas, if it is good, the child's face will also be bright, and it is not good, hum!" This girl seems to have some power, so she just said that.

"Okay, leave it to me." Fang Xin gave her a strange look, could it be that she was the personal maid of the so-called young master's bed? Otherwise, when will she speak?

In the next few days, Fang Xin unceremoniously commanded the three old servants to start sorting out the books, classifying them according to the five kinds of scriptures, history, children, collections, and miscellaneous, memorizing all the books, and began to reorganize them, and by the tenth day, all these tasks were completed.

On the eleventh day, Fang Xin was transcribing, and someone came below.

The person who came was an old man, wearing Confucian clothes, and his temples were slightly dyed with frost flowers, but he was followed by Shen Xia, and when they met, Shen Xia said: "Father, this is the son." ”

Fang Xin didn't know the opportunity at this time, and immediately knelt down and saluted: "Student to meet Master Tongzhi!" ”

"That's it, at home, you're a scholar again, get up!" The old man waved his hand and said, although his attitude was kind, but there was majesty in his bearing.

Fang Xin should be, after making a salute, he will stand aside.

The old man didn't say much, he took out the general outline first, and when he saw the handwriting, he nodded slightly.

Li Rui's calligraphy is neat and has a foundation, and lacks aura, Fang Xin's calligraphy is not good, but he has this person's incomparable bearing, these days, unconsciously, the two are mixed, so in the eyes of the old man, although it is not a big deal, but calligraphy, it is already somewhat interesting, considering the age of the young man in front of him, this should be praised.

Look down again, but see the classification is rigorous, although there are specific errors and omissions, but the original intention is very good, the next degree to step to the bookshelf, see that each bookshelf has a label, it is very convenient to check to find the book, can't help but show a smile. "Father, the child hasn't seen the wrong person yet!"

"This little thing, also come to boast to me, you still need to cultivate a little more temperament." The old man scolded with a smile, but glanced at the young man in front of him, he was good at seeing people, and saw Fang Xin standing there, although it was a coarse cloth, but that kind of calm demeanor could not be concealed, and secretly thought to himself: "This young man seems to have a really good bearing, you might as well make some good karma, and also plan for future generations." ”

Smiled at the moment: "That's what you think?" It's pretty good. ”

Fang Xin replied respectfully: "The student was blessed by the son's grace to support his mother, and he had nothing to repay. ”

"Very good, I also heard that you still have my son's bag, you are not greedy for gold, and you serve your mother, you are very filial, do your best, and you will have a future in the future." The old man flipped through a few books, and said: "In this case, you will temporarily take charge of the library building, I will let some people come, and copy it with you, according to your local method, rebuild the library, you are a reader, this year will be the county exam, not into the roster, the month to give fifteen times, if all is completed, I will have a heavy reward." ”

Of course, he understood that the books were all worn out in poor condition now, and the library would be finished after re-copying.

"Thank you, Lady Tongzhi." Fang Xin was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, knowing that he not only got some legal money this time, but also made himself have more background in the county examination, and it should not be a problem to get a show.
