Outside the old white staff, it is the day of Shangbai Village.

This is not a joke, he took it directly from the pressure of paying taxes, and it seems that nothing has happened in the village.

At least, the villagers won't feel anything until the summer grain campaign begins.

When he mentioned this, Bai Chongyan was furious: "For the political side, the people are shameless!" ”

Li Hanzhang was a little helpless when he heard it, because his father was also a tax collector, and he was also the upline of Xiang Zhixian.

The more the county handed over to the state, the more his father could intercept, and the court had already acquiesced to this.

The only problem with Xiang Zhixian is that the food is too ugly.

"Don't talk about this, go find Zhu Dalang," Li Hanzhang avoided talking about this matter and changed the topic, "I heard a lot of new interpretations of the scriptures yesterday, and I decided to postpone my return to Yangzhou and stay a few more days to ask for teaching." ”

Bai Chongyan said: "At a young age, Zhu Dalang has already penetrated the Three Classics, which is unimaginable. I just don't know how his writing is. ”

Li Hanzhang said: "Shi Wending is not bad. ”

"That's not necessarily," Bai Chongyan said, "Let's just say that the Daoist brother of Yangzhou Academy, I am as knowledgeable as him." can write the current text, but it is not as good as him. ”

Li Hanzhang sighed and said: "I'm like this, I can't go up in time, and I'm always a little worse when I get into the Jinshi." ”

chatting all the way, the two went out together.

As for Zheng Hong, this fat man is still sleeping lazily, and he doesn't even get up to eat breakfast.

When I came to Shen Yourong's house, I smelled a smell of feces from afar.

Bai Chongyan took a closer look, and instantly covered his nose and retreated.

Good guy, the manure mound was already mixed with chicken manure, and at this time it was poured with water. It's not enough to pour water, just like mixing cement, mix the dung well, and then directly rub the dung balls.

Xiao Zhu Xiucai, who has penetrated the Three Classics, is sitting under the eaves of the thatched house at the moment, quickly rubbing the dung ball, and his hands are covered with urine and feces.

"This, this, this...... It's really unseemly. Bai Chongyan exclaimed.

Zhu Ming continued to work with both hands, turned his head to look back, and looked helpless: "I don't want to either, this is the method taught by the immortals." ”

Li Hanzhang said speechlessly: "The immortal taught you the method of rubbing dung balls?" ”

"Not to me, but to my father." Zhu Ming corrected.

This immortal method is too unbearable!

The two sons retreated far away, always feeling that the scene in front of them was unreal, and suspected that they had not woken up yet.

It's a big pile of dung, and it all has to be rolled into a dung ball.

The father and son were both rubbing, and when forty or fifty were done, Zhu Guoxiang carefully put the corn seeds into the dung ball, and then moved them to the vegetable bed.

The vegetable furrows of Shen Niangzi's house have all been leveled out.

lit the dung balls of corn seeds and put them neatly on the flat ground by Zhu Guoxiang. There is also a sieve next to it, which is sprinkled on the dung ball, sprinkled with some plant ash, and then splashed with water and watered.

If the climate is warm, in another twenty or thirty days, the corn seedlings that grow from the dung ball can be picked and transplanted in the mountains.

If you experience a cooling, you have to wait for thirty or forty days.

Zhu Ming's out-of-the-box personality made him rub the dung ball all morning, which was more uncomfortable than killing him.

But there is no way, you have to endure it, and you should exercise your willpower.

Alas, it's still quick to be an official, and it's too hard to farm and make a fortune.

Bai Chongyan and Li Hanzhang have never seen this kind of seeding method, although they are extremely disgusted, they can't help but want to see it. And it looks like it's two hours, and it has the charm of an adult man watching the excavator.

By noon, the dung ball was finally finished.

Zhu Ming washed his hands and washed them, always having the illusion that he couldn't wash them, and couldn't help but feel sad - his two girlfriends were ruthlessly defiled like this.

Li Hanzhang stepped forward with Shiwen, and stopped at a distance of more than one meter: "Brother Chenggong, can you take a look at Shiwen for Brother Foolish?" ”

Three points for counseling, seven points for teaching.

If Zhu Ming is not good at Shiwen, Li Hanzhang will be psychologically balanced. It's like meeting a top student with a perfect score in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and finding that his composition is as ordinary as himself, which can make people feel more comfortable.

"I don't know much about Shiwen either, just take a look."

Zhu Ming took it easily, copied a bench and sat down, and read it carefully.

After reading it, Zhu Ming asked curiously: "What is the fixed format for you to do the scriptures?" ”

Li Hanzhang said in detail: "Solve the topic, the original question, the topic, the evidence, and the end." I'm quite good at solving problems, and I can't do it as smoothly as Jinshi articles. My teacher Shiwen has also corrected it many times, but it is just ...... It's easy to mess up just by writing. I went to the capital to take the exam twice, and the more I took the exam, the more difficult it became, and the teacher didn't know how to teach. ”

Of course, Zhu Ming can't write Bagu Wen, but he knows the process of Bagu Wen and has appreciated some Ming Dynasty strange texts.

Carefully comparing the format, the scriptures at this time already have the prototype of eight strands, but the names are different.

Textual Texts: Breaking the Question, Original Question, Lecture Topic, Proof, Ending.

Eight strands: breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting to speak, (entering the topic, starting shares, middle shares, back shares, bundle shares), big conclusion.

The biggest difference is that in the formal discussion part, the Song Dynasty Jingyi text can be played at will, while the Ming Dynasty Bagu Wen is subdivided into several steps.

Zhu Ming didn't know what to say, so he asked again: "Can you bring Fan Wen?" ”

Bai Chongyan handed over the "Selected Writings of the Times": "The good articles of the past ten years are all in this. ”

Zhu Ming flipped to the middle at random and chose one to read.

It's a pity that although it is very well written, it does not conform to the eight-strand format, and it will definitely fall off the list in the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the second part, the same is true.

I read it until the ninth article, and finally the eight-strand format appeared, and Zhu Ming said: "Grinding ink." ”

Bai Chongyan subconsciously ran to study the ink, and he felt that it was wrong, why did he listen to Zhu Dalang's words so much?

It doesn't matter, let's study the ink first.

Zhu Ming took a child's brush and drew a vertical line directly in that article.

Draw out a paragraph and mark it "Entry". Draw another paragraph and mark "Shares". Draw another paragraph and mark the "medium stock......

After all the annotations, Zhu Ming handed the book back: "It may be much easier to write an article in this format." Well...... I'm also blind, maybe I'm not right. ”

The two sons, staring at the article and the mark, carefully studied it, and then compared it with the other sample texts in the book, and soon realized that there was something wrong.

Bai Chongyan said: "This subdivision format seems to be easier to write. ”

Li Hanzhang frowned and said: "It's really easier, but it's too finely divided, and there is no room to play." ”

"You can't say that," Bai Chongyan retorted, "Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. No matter how detailed it is, what to write depends on our knowledge. ”

To put it bluntly, there is no format in the argumentation process of the scriptures, and the candidates are completely free to play. Those with good literary talent can write wildly. Those with poor literary talent are difficult to stand out.

As for the eight-strand text, the format is subdivided, and the requirements for the text are not so high, and the disadvantage is that it makes people constrained.

It's up to these two to choose.

In the afternoon of the same day, they carefully wrote a current essay according to the format of the eight-strand essay.

The effect is immediate, and the level of the article is visibly improving.

Li Hanzhang suddenly said: "Don't talk to others." ”

Bai Chongyan immediately understood: "Yes, you can't say it." ”

Neither of them is stupid, this routine must be hidden, and the more one person knows, the more competitor they have.

Putting down the article and being silent for a long time, Li Hanzhang asked: "This Zhu family father and son, I'm afraid it's not as simple as a maritime businessman, right?" ”

"Indeed," Bai Chongyan said, "I'm afraid it's a scholarly family that offended a powerful person and fled here from Guangnan to avoid trouble." ”

Li Hanzhang said: "No matter what the background is, I have accepted his love." If I really take the Jinshi examination, there will be a good reward in the future. ”

Bai Chongyan said: "I want to see as soon as possible what their seedlings can look like." ”

In fact, it doesn't look good.

The two practiced Shiwen every day, Zheng Fatzi pestered and listened to stories every day, and the seedlings in the rice field finally sprouted.

Occasionally, villagers passing by the seedling field thought that Zhu Xianggong had overturned.

Zhu Guoxiang's method of raising seedlings, compared with the traditional method, not only did not find any benefits, but even the seedlings grew very slowly.

In the eyes of villagers who are skilled in farming, the seedlings are already useless.

If it grows slowly, it means that the roots are not good.

If the roots are not good, they will not be drought tolerant in the future, and the amount of fertilizer must be increased, otherwise they will not produce full ears.

Lu An couldn't help it, and ran to report the news: "Master, the surname Zhu is a liar, and the seedlings he bred are shallow and weak at a glance!" ”

"Let him continue planting until the rice is harvested."

The focus of the old white staff is no longer on this.

The summer grain in Hanzhong began to be collected in May and lasted until the end of July. The arrears of land in previous years were handed over together with the summer grain.

Asking the landlords to apportionment to the magistrate is tantamount to letting the landlords urge taxes, and whether they collect enough or not, the landlords have to take out the promised taxes.

The old white man didn't want to be a villain, so he still had to go out of the five brothers.

He has asked Bai Erlang, who is the chief priest, to cancel the Bai family's brothers' qualifications for the long name Yaqian. The next step is to turn into a wheel and be responsible for tax collection and compensation, so that they can charge forward.

The accident happened again.

The five brothers of the Bai family had their long name in front of the errand cancelled, and they heard the news that they were going to collect the taxes owed in previous years. They have been assisting in tax collection for a long time, and they instantly understood what it meant, and then ...... Just run!

The family's real estate and land properties were all wanted, only some floating wealth was taken away, and his wife and children were driven away overnight, and the family fled to Heifeng Village to be bandits.

Outside the old white staff, he was a little dumbfounded.
