Shi Kai thought about Yixue students, and before leaving Yixue, he also specially found Sheng Wei and recommended him a candidate to succeed him.

This person's name is Lin Yan, a native of Jiangning, and Shi Kai's close friend, who participated in the government examination with Shi Kai, Shi Kai ranked second, and Lin Yan was the head of the case.

Unlike Shi Kai, Lin Yan successfully passed the college examination and became a student, and then because of his good learning, he was selected as a tribute supervisor, and then entered the Guozijian to study.

Wei Chen's father, Wei Mingzhao, used to be a county school student, and he was already the best among the students, and the tribute supervisor was only qualified to participate in the selection.

As a tribute eunuch, in terms of academic qualifications, Lin Yan is enough to crush everything below the level of the lifter.

After Lin Yan dropped out of Guozijian, he once served as a county school professor and focused on teaching students, but later resigned because he was not used to seeing the filth of officialdom.

Sheng Wei was overjoyed when he was recommended by Shi Kai, and learned from Shi Kai that Lin Yanzheng was idle at home, so he immediately put aside the matter of the fruit wine workshop for the time being, and prepared a generous gift to personally invite him.

With Shi Kai's relationship, and the current Sheng family's Yixue is also quite famous in Jiangning Mansion, Lin Yan is still very interested in this work as a tutor, but he also put forward two requirements, and he will not go to Youyang until Sheng Wei agrees to all of them.

This first point is that after Lin Yan served as a tutor, he was responsible for the management of Sheng's Yixue, and Sheng Wei was not allowed to interfere.

The second point is to ask Sheng Wei to build a library in Yixue to collect a subset of scriptures and histories, so that students can borrow them.

Sheng Wei knew very well that a Master like Lin Yan would either go to the county school to become a professor or go to a big academy to be a lecturer, and it was almost impossible for him to come to live in a small temple like Sheng's Yixue.

And if Lin Yan can really be invited to be a teacher, it will be an opportunity for Sheng's Yixue to be reborn.

Therefore, even though Lin Yan behaved a little domineering, Sheng Wei still agreed to his request.

After getting Sheng Wei's assurance, Lin Yan happily went to Youyang to serve as a teacher at Sheng's Yixue, and Sheng Wei also found him two assistants, both of whom were children who had passed the government examination.

As soon as Lin Yan took office, he began drastic reforms.

Today, after several expansions, there are more than 120 students, ranging from seven or eight to fifteen or sixteen.

Some of them have just begun to read and write, while others are already studying the scriptures, and there is a big gap between them in their coursework, which is very unfavorable for teaching.

Therefore, Lin Yan divided the students of Sheng's Yixue into three classes: outer house, inner house, and upper house in accordance with the regulations of Guozijian, and ranked them according to their test results every month.

In the end, there were more than 70 people in the outer house, more than 40 people in the inner house, and the least number of students in the upper house, only seven, and Wei Chen was among them.

The outer and inner houses are mainly taught by two children sitting in the hall, and Lin Yan only lectures once every three days.

Lin Yan's main energy was still on the seven students in Shangshe.

They are all the most outstanding students in Yixue, and the goal set by Lin Yan for them is to go to school and show their talents.

The first lesson that Lin Yan gave to the students was the most important way to make art in the imperial examination.

The so-called art making is the eight-strand text that makes future generations frightened, also called Shiwen.

The Great Zhou Dynasty opened the department to take scholars, and the judgments, edicts, edicts, and current affairs and policies were all trivial matters, and only the Bagu Wen was the most important basis for admission.

In this regard, Lin Yan did not shy away from saying at all: "Although reading is the avenue for learning, and there is no need to stick to the profession, which reader can really see it?" In the final analysis, we scholars do art and literature for the sake of the middle test! ”

Lin Yan's words were very devoted, and his voice was excited, and Wei Chen and other students in the hall were secretly excited.

Lin Yan glanced at the students and said solemnly: "The first step in this art is to solve the problem. It often takes only two or three sentences to solve the problem, which seems simple, but in fact it is the most difficult. The depth of your ideas, the amount of talent you have learned, and the skill of your pen, just a few sentences to solve the question, the examiner can see it at a glance. ”

Wei Chen nodded again and again as he listened below, thinking to himself that most of the argumentative essay writing methods in his previous life were mostly to point out the topic at the beginning, but the two had something in common.

No wonder the ancients said that if the eight-strand article is done well, whatever you do, it will be a whip and a mark, a slap and a palm blood.

However, as Lin Yan continued to tell, Wei Chen soon understood why so many people hated these eight strands.

First of all, in solving the problem, people and things cannot write their original names.

For example, King Wen, Duke of Zhou, and Confucius should be called "sage", Mencius should be called "sub-sage", and Zhuzi should be called "sage", and the rest of the plants, trees, flowers, birds, and utensils should all be replaced by "things".

For this alone, Wei Chen already felt extremely troublesome.

But there are far more taboos to break the problem.

For example, when reading the question "Zhou Gongsi and the Three Kings to Shi Four Things", when reading the question, you must first remember which article and which sentence this sentence appears in "Mencius", and then understand the meaning of this sentence in combination with the context.

The most fucking thing is that you can understand the meaning of the question in context, but you must not implicate the text in the context when solving the problem!

If the first sentence of the title is mentioned, it is called "connected", and if the next sentence of the title is mentioned, it is called "encroachment".

When the examiner marks the paper, as soon as he sees you breaking the question, he doesn't have to read the following articles anymore, and he is directly downcast.

After finishing the lecture, Lin Yan talked about missing questions, scolding questions, and other taboos when breaking the question, and this lecture was more than an hour.

Wei Chen was secretly speechless below.

You know, this problem is only the first step in writing an eight-strand essay, just a problem-solving, there are already so many taboos, you can imagine how difficult it is to make a qualified eight-strand essay.

After talking about the precautions, Lin Yan began to explain the question method again.

"There are many ways to solve the problem, if you use grammar, there are six kinds, which are divided into open breaking, dark breaking, smooth breaking, reverse breaking, positive breaking, and reverse breaking; If it is based on perspective, it can also be divided into three types: breaking meanings, breaking sentences, and breaking words. The difference is mysterious, and I will listen to the teacher to explain it in detail......"

Lin Yan spoke impassionedly for more than an hour, and suddenly found that although the students below were listening attentively one by one, their faces were full of confusion, and they obviously didn't understand it.

Lin Yan couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for being really confused, he actually forgot that these students had just come into contact with the way of making arts, and their academic ability was still shallow, and they might not be able to digest it if they talked too much.

stopped talking at the moment: "This method of solving the problem, as a teacher, I will talk about it here today." ”

Hearing Lin Yan say this, the students below were all relieved.

But then, I heard Lin Yan continue: "Here are three art making questions for the past years' exams, you take them back, and have a good experience of how to solve the problems in Fan Wenzhong, and then you will follow the six methods of solving the questions in turn, and solve them again." ”

The students below were shocked by Mr. Lin's ruthlessness, and counted them one by one.

Three questions, each of which has to be solved from six different angles, isn't that eighteen questions?

Oh my God!

The classmates were full of grief, and Wei Chen couldn't help but sigh secretly: Sure enough, there is a price to pay for staying in the fast class and being an honor student, at least the amount of homework is several times more than that of others......
