The autumn harvest in Sanliu Village has begun.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu's new house was finally built.

*

The author has something to say:

Ahem, the number of words is less...... Li Qiao has started to read, and I want to take a look at the plot QAQ

Chapter 58 Topic of Policy Discussion Xanadu

The autumn harvest is mainly harvested sweet potatoes, corn, yellow rice, sorghum and other miscellaneous grains.

Li Qiao's sweet potatoes and corn were planted late, and they were still a little far from ripening at this time, so the autumn harvest had nothing to do with his family.

His family makes snacks every day as usual.

It's just that now the people who make dim sum have become Tao Zhu, Li Dashan, and Li Chuntao.

Li Qiao only makes meat floss every day, and he doesn't make the rest of the dim sum himself, and his main task is to read.

The number of words in these four books is actually not much, the "University" with the least number of words has more than 2,000 words, and the "Mencius" with the most words is less than 40,000 words.

If it weren't for classical Chinese, then in terms of Li Qiao's memory at this time - eighteen years old, still a supernatural person, it would be easy to memorize these four books well.

However, these four books are in classical Chinese, and if you want to memorize them quickly, you can't just rely on rote memorization, but you have to memorize them on the basis of understanding, so that you can memorize them quickly.

So, after Li Qiao spent a few days reading all four books, he led the ox cart to the county seat.

This time, he went to buy the commentary of the Four Books.

The original was a scumbag, and he was worried that the guys in the bookstore would recommend him indiscriminately for the sake of performance, so he went straight to Zhuang Wen and asked Zhuang Wen to recommend relevant books to him.

Zhuang Wen has been reading books for thirty years, although he has not been admitted to Xiucai, but this kind of most basic reference book is a piece of cake for him, and he can name more than a dozen books with his eyes closed.

However, knowing that Li Qiao began to continue reading at this time, Zhuang Wen was very surprised, and he first wrote down all the names of the books that Li Qiao needed, not only the four books, but also the Five Classics and the Three Histories and Three Biography.

After writing, he talked to Li Qiao about what he had planned a long time ago:

He hoped that in the future, he could communicate and discuss more with Li Qiao so that we could make progress together.

If Li Qiao doesn't understand anything, you can come to him, and he will try his best to answer.

If Li Qiao has any special skills for reading, he also hopes that Li Qiao will give him advice.

Of course, Li Qiao can also charge a fee.

Anyway, as long as Li Qiao is willing to share, then he can do anything.

After reading for 30 years but achieving nothing, his family never put any pressure on him, and never blamed him, but the more his family understood, the heavier the burden in his heart, and every night in the dead of night, he was tormented to toss and turn, and it was difficult to sleep.

"Brother, you have to help my brother, my brother will remember your great kindness for the rest of his life."

Thinking of these wasted thirty years, Zhuang Wen's eyes were red.

Li Qiao: "......"

Boy.

How could Zhuang Wen think that he had special study skills?

"Brother Wen, what I was like when I used to study, the whole village knows. I'm starting from scratch now. ”

"It's good to start from scratch, you make dim sum from scratch, not only pay off your gambling debts in a short period of time, but also marry a husband, have an ox cart and a new house, and the future is very good."

"Now that you are studying from scratch, I believe you must have a bright future."

Zhuang Wen, like the villagers, is very confident in Li Qiao.

Young man, his brain spins fast, and he is better than him, who wants to be a grandfather.

“…… Brother Wen, tell me, what kind of predicament do you have on the way to the imperial examination? Li Qiao didn't bother to argue, so she simply asked directly.

"This ......" Zhuang Wen suddenly looked ashamed.

In fact, he passed the first two levels of the children's examination ten years ago, the last one of the college examinations, and the two examinations in three years, and he has already taken the examination six times.

Except for the first time when I was too nervous to play abnormally, and then the second time I was not in good health and contracted the cold, the remaining four times were all defeated in the strategy.

Moyi and Thejing, this kind of test questions to test basic skills, he has no problem at all.

Poetry and songs, not outstanding, but not wrong.

The problem lies only in the policy.

"The first two times, Mr. Chen from the private school said that my article looked like a cluster of flowers, but in fact it was empty."

So I worked hard to get to the point. But this last two times. ”

Zhuang Wen sighed.

On these two occasions, when the new emperor ascended the throne, every time a major event occurred in the court, the new emperor must write an article to express his opinions.

Over the course of a year, there are more than 20 articles.

There are more than a dozen articles in the few.

The questions of the strategy are all about these articles of the new emperor, so if he wants to be admitted to Xiucai, he has to study these articles of the new emperor and figure out the thoughts of the new emperor.

However, the new emperor has only been on the throne for a few years, and he has written as many as 100 articles, and he is old, and his brain is not as good as that of a young man.

In addition, he likes to pile up rhetoric when writing articles, so the articles he writes now are a little different, and they are not as good as what he wrote before.

In the end, Zhuang Wen sighed again: "This year, the saint has already made thirteen articles, and before next year's college examination, I am afraid that there will be thirteen more." I can't resist it! ”

Li Qiao: "......"

Good guys, today's saints love to write small essays so much?

What's even more terrifying is that the strategy comes out of these small essays......

Not to mention Zhuang Wen's desperate face, he would be desperate just by listening to it.

“…… Brother Wen, I don't understand, shouldn't the imperial examination be from the Four Books and Five Classics? He couldn't help but ask.

"In the past, it was like this, but the Holy Lord said that the Four Books and the Five Classics had been examined too many times, and every sentence had been repeatedly demonstrated, and there was no new idea, so the strategy was based on the question in the article he wrote."

"I see." Li Qiao was stunned.

The original body is a scumbag, and he hasn't even memorized the most basic books, so he doesn't know anything about these real questions.

"Brother Wen, what were the policy questions for the previous two exams? Do you remember? He asked.

"Of course I do. I'll get it for you. ”

Zhuang Wen said as he got up and turned over the large bookshelf behind him.

Every time he finished the exam, he would write down the questions when he came back, especially the strategy questions, which was his weakness.

Soon, he found out the two past questions after the new emperor ascended the throne.

Li Qiao took it, first took a rough look at the Moyi and the scriptures in front of her, and then skipped the poems and songs, and went directly to the last strategy.

He originally thought that the topic of the essay was to extract a sentence from the essay of today's holy sage, but to his surprise, the topic was to extract the central content of the essay and then ask the candidates to give the answer in the form of inquiry.

For example, in the first topic, a certain coastal province was hit by a typhoon, and not only the crops planted by the people were destroyed, but also their homes were destroyed, so the saint wrote an article lamenting how difficult the people's livelihood was.

Then, in the second year, the topic of the policy discussion is how to save oneself if the candidate encounters a typhoon, and what the local government should do in light of its own actual situation.

……

It makes sense to ask the government what to do, but it is too biased to ask the candidates how they can save themselves.

There are no typhoons in this part of Heijo!

The questions of the imperial examination can be unpopular, but they can't be evil.

It's just a show test, and it's not a palace test, does a show need to know so much?

Xiucai can't be an official, what does it matter if you know it or not, Xiucai only needs to endorse well, be full of articles, and have solid basic skills.

Now that such a question is asked, it is too difficult to require.

Another example is the second strategic topic.

In the spring of the year before last, there was a drought in a certain province in the northwest, and the superstitious villagers tied up a young girl who wanted to offer a big fairy for rain, but the girl did not obey and died by hitting the pillar.

Today, the Holy Father wrote an article on this matter, and then the topic was how to stop this tragedy if the candidates were present, and what the local government should do.

……

Again, what should the candidates do?

This is far from the serious imperial examination questions in Li Qiao's impression.

Is this the path that the Holy One is taking today?

It's no wonder that this imperial examination is not easy to examine.

Li Qiao pondered for a moment, and then said to Zhuang Wen: "Brother Wen, I think so, but I don't know if it's right or not, I say it, let's discuss it." ”

"In the final analysis, these two policy topics are about the saint's concern for the people and his desire to find good officials who can solve problems for the people, rather than nerds who only know that reading books cannot solve practical problems."

Although this topic is biased towards the evil sect.

But it can be seen that the Holy One is looking for someone who can solve the problem.

To put it simply, it has changed from exam-oriented education to quality education.

And the major events in the world, which can be publicly written on the test paper and let the world's readers play freely to solve the questions, is nothing more than the national economy and people's livelihood.

"Brother Wen, in fact, more than a hundred articles are not too many, extract the central content of each article, and then connect it with the righteousness of the Four Books and Five Classics, so that you can respond to all changes with the same."

"Even if the person who wrote the question wants to play new tricks, but everything changes, it will eventually be connected with the Four Books and Five Classics, and the national economy and people's livelihood. You say, don't you? ”

"Ah???h

Zhuang Wen was a little stunned, Li Qiao's words were a little new to him.

In the past, when he studied the holy texts, he memorized one article and then the next, but he did not pay attention to whether the central content of the hundred articles was similar.

He did not make an inductive summary......
