Xu Guangqi, "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration".

Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations"......

Do they think it's a sacrifice of the basics?

This is realistic, and it is better than just talking and not practicing. ”

This is one of Jia Cong's ambitions.

Attract like-minded scholars and scholars.

Then subtly study the practical things, and slowly transfer to technology.

I have experienced Jia Cong's wooden cattle, and it can be used.

Wang Hao is not very repulsed now, and nodded silently when he heard the words.

Zhang Xiancai nodded and said: "It's good not to talk about the government, like Donglin."

was put on the name of the party, and at first they were dedicated to lecturing.

Later, factions gradually formed, and the view of the portal was very harmful. ”

Whether Donglin is a party or not is a matter of endless debate in the historiographical circles.

Jia Cong didn't understand this kind of controversy.

However, the Lanling Alliance is destined to be a faction, and it can't be done without a relationship.

And now it is necessary to lead but not provoke and seriously operate.

Before the forces were really formed.

It cannot be stifled by others and become the target of public criticism.

On Saturday, I listened to the discussions.

He felt that it was nothing to build an alliance in the name of academic research.

Nowadays, there are countless factions, alliances, and societies.

Therefore, the Lanling League is very safe.

He also thinks more about the township test.

Mother's hard work and ardent expectations.

He couldn't accept the disappointment of his relatives and villagers.

The three of them were talking.

Wei Wuzhi came suddenly, and the group bowed his hands in a circle.

Lanling smiled and smiled, presumably sitting firmly on Mount Tai.

In the next Pentateuch question, let's divide it again. ”

Jia Cong quietly agreed a few words, and Wei Wuzhi left.

Zhang Xiancai "cut": "Isn't this Wei Wuzhi a good uncle?"

Look at his arrogance like that. ”

........

August 11.

The second session of the township test has begun to enter the venue again.

Under the shady Wenchang locust tree.

The candidates walked leisurely across the stone road.

Bend down to pay homage to the roots of the tree of Lord Wenchanghuai.

"Wenchang Huai bless! Bless my township to test high school.

You don't have to solve the yuan, one of the five classics is enough! ”

"It's enough for Xiaosheng to have a Yakui, and you don't need to have a five-way classic."

The first place in the township test is Xie Yuan.

2nd place Asian dollar.

Three, four, and five are the five classics.

The sixth place is Yakui, and the rest are all called Wenkui.

As a confused traverser.

Jia Cong is not exempt from vulgarity, nor is he completely superstitious.

Looking at the vicissitudes of Wenchang Huaishuo, the wind blows and the branches and leaves flutter.

It took several people to get around the trunk.

He also made a move, and Wang Hao, Liuliuhe, and Wei Wuzhi were all serious.

Zhang was the only one who read a prayer article endlessly.

I saw the prison officer, the promotion officer, and the outer curtain officer coming to inspect.

I hurried into the dormitory.

August 12.

The five Five Classics questions in the second session of the township examination were released, and each person revised the scriptures differently.

So the Pentateuch actually has five questions each.

There are twenty-five questions in total.

Candidates only need to look at the five questions of the first classic.

Three of the poems and scriptures that Jia Cong practiced were truncated questions.

Such as "East Gate, there are women" and so on.

The two questions that are not truncated questions are published in one piece.

Such as the "Chapter of the Rat".

"Now I'm familiar with the regulations of the township test.

Even if you can't get in, this kind of personal experience, honing.

After all, there is a gain. ”

The lake pen with both rigidity and softness is dipped in black ink.

Jia Cong'an pondered quietly.

Five pavilion scripts with the title of the Five Classics.

As time passes, slowly spit out from the end of the pen.

In the eyes of the surveillance veterans, the passage of time is unusually slow.

He wanted to get off work quickly.

And for Jia Cong, one of the candidates, an hour.

Feeling nothing, I slipped away in pondering and writing.

It wasn't until he saw the direction and length of the shadows of the trees outside the window that he knew how long it had passed.

"Poor master, I want to pay tribute."

Jia Cong put down his pen.

"Okay, come with me."

The veteran lazily opened the door and led him in the direction of the latrine.

Jia Cong didn't know where the latrine was, and the Gaine Township Test needed to be monitored throughout the process.

～～～～～

Supervisors, External Officers, and Promoters.

They are all about maintaining order in the examination room and taking care of the important tasks of the room rules.

to the public court.

There were a few outer curtain officials sitting.

The prison officer, Dong An, ordered several other military attachés of the capital, garrison, and thousands of households and hundreds of households one by one.

Hands naturally hung down on their knees: "Suogong exam, the most important thing is fire prevention!"

Especially in autumn, the weather is dry and dry, and thorns and wooden fences are the easiest to walk through water. ”

"I am the Great Chu Jingshi Gong Academy, which was built in the Yongle period.

Tianshun Ming Yingzong period.

The Gongyuan caught fire, killing and injuring more than 90 people.

Zhang Juzheng, a later university scholar, suggested that it be transformed into a masonry structure.

Only then is today's safe and sound. ”

"But fire prevention is still your top priority.

kitchens, firecrackers, flints, and so on.

You must pay a careful visit, whoever is derelict in his duties, the only one who is the official is asking! ”

"Yes!"

A group of military attachés roared.

The roar made several outer curtain officials jump and frown.

Then the military attachés got up on one knee and stood up with a military salute, and stepped back and went out.

This kind of scene can make the majesty of the mansion Lord Dong An's slap greatly.

"You examiners also need to take precautions, and prevent the slightest deterioration.

This transcription and reading must not be sloppy. ”

Dong An respectfully hugged his fist towards the north, and suddenly smiled again.

"The scientific examination is a national talent ceremony, and we will try our best to eliminate mistakes so as to live up to the emperor's grace!"

"Dong Fuyin is right, I'll go and get the first ink scroll first.

However, if there is a violation, it will not be tolerated. ”

The outer curtain officials said goodbye in an official tone.

The outer curtain is the storage place for ink rolls, and the township test papers.

It is not the candidate's handwriting.

It must be transcribed and cross-read.

If you look at the handwriting like this, you will never see who the candidate is.

Exterior curtains, a transcription room.

Li scribe perennial in the Xicheng Imperial History Yamen office writing.

The handwriting of the transcription is beautiful, once in his hand.

The calligraphy of hundreds of candidates is exactly the same.

Wait until you find and transcribe Jia Cong's ink scroll.

Scribe Li touched the paste at the name of the ink roll.

He didn't know if this one belonged to Jia Cong.

From his sleeve, he took out a copy of the pavilion manuscript issued by the Shanhai Book Society.

Slightly contrasted.

He was sure that this volume must be Jia Cong's, and it was also the one ordered by Master Qian.

Look back and forth, left and right.

A room full of transcriptionists and counter-readers are quietly busy working.

Li Shuyi hesitated for a while, and the tip of the pen gently wrote the number: Two Two One One.

A pair of readers came to check, and the first ink roll of the township test.

Divided by prefecture.

Scribe Li "coincidentally" assigned to the transcription of Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture.

That pair of readers is the second level of the ink roll review.

He first looked at Jia Cong's ink scroll word by word.

Looking at the Zhu scroll transcribed by Li Shuren, it is word for word.

It's just an extra number.

The pair chatted casually: "We are really out of the feet of the Son of Heaven."

I don't know much about the eight strands, but this handwriting of the ink scroll.

Much better than you and me. ”

Scribe Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, but fortunately, he didn't know the clue for reading.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's right, people are showmen after all."

You and I can just write a few words. ”

.......

.......

August 13.

The second appearance of the township test.

August 14.

The third entry field.

On August 15, the proposition came out.

In the third session, three essays on current affairs and political policies were examined.

Meanwhile.

The first ink scroll of the outer curtain was transcribed and read.

Under the inspection of Dong An's troops, the outer curtain officer entered the flying Hongqiao.

Transfer the inner curtain officer, and the whole process will be handed over.

Without saying a word, the curtain officer withdrew.

Continue to instruct the transcription and the reading of the second ink scroll.

Lobby with inner curtains.

The main examiner Yu Hazy and the deputy examiner Xu Youzhen were the first to sit side by side.

Fourteen fellow examiners, that is, room officials, sit on the left and right sides of the bottom.

Yu Hazy was happy and relieved about this mission.

With the attitude of repaying the emperor's trust.

He's going to preside over it.

It is also self-evident that a large number of protégés are accepted for the main examination of the township examination.

Gyeonggi Province overseer of the imperial history, Naoli Xuezheng Chen Dongsheng had a disagreement with him.

and Jia Cong, known as the "No. 1 prodigy of Da Chu".

It is Chen Dongsheng's protégé.

But he doesn't intend to worry about it and deal with it impartially.

"According to the government, you are equivalent to the examiner who has finished grading.

Recommend us to the main examiner and deputy examiner, and then determine the ranking. ”

Yu Hazy glanced around and said, "The approval must be written in the paper."

Otherwise, when the candidates make trouble, who will be responsible?

The prefectures and counties for which each person is responsible should also be recorded, so that they can be checked when the time comes. ”

"Lord Examiner, the one who has set the Shuntian Mansion with a humble position." Qian Xihong responded.

"I came to Tianjin Mansion with a humble position..."

"Humble yourself to the Daimyo's Mansion......"

"Hmm."

Yu Hazy nodded: "Let's take their places." ”

Qian Xihong went to the examination paper room of the inner curtain Shuntianfu.

Sure enough, I saw the red scroll numbered "Two Two One" and read it in one go.

Qian Xihong said: "This power is really old.

It is excellent in the county government, but the township test... You're still far away! ”

"Young is young, and young people need setbacks......

Well?

Buddha time?

Zhenguan?

In the end, I found your fault. ”

Qian Xihong smiled tremblingly, lifted the Zhu pen and commented: "Buddhism and Confucianism are not divided, and the test will be taken again in three years."

What is the appearance of Zhenguan? Taizong woohoo! ”

Crash!

Qian Xihong threw Jia Cong's red scroll into the paper basket for the roll.

The scribes will meet after the village exam.

The unsuccessful Zhu Roll and Ink Roll will be named and returned to the candidates.

The first session is the most critical.

Jia Cong was dismissed in the first article and couldn't be recommended to the main exam.

Not to mention the rankings.

The last two are just for reference.

After the examination on August 16, the township test appeared.

The talents cheered and called for friends.

Rich go to the pen holder alley, carp alley, donkey hoof alley.

The poor go to the Temple of Heaven in Nancheng, the Beiqinghe Factory, and the Goldfish Pond.

It was a concentration of local prostitutes.

Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, a few days before the release of the list.

No one is going home.

In this emotional state of anxiety, anxiety and fear.

Looking for a sister to vent and vent is the most suitable.

They were glad that the quality of Jingshi's sister was not as good as that of Qin Huaihe.

The service attitude is good.

The township test list is mostly selected on the day of Chenri and Yinri.

Therefore, it is called the Dragon and Tiger List.

Because the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom in the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is also called the osmanthus list.

"The dragon and tiger are on the list.

Smell the osmanthus under the osmanthus tree.

It's a good time for late autumn. ”

Out of the Dragon Gate, Gongyuan Gate.

Zhang Xiancai put on a graceful style and stretched his waist.

"Hey, are you going to the goldfish pond to see the 'goldfish'? It's cheap there! ”

"Disappointing, at your age, won't your family marry you?"

Wang Hao made a face: "Although it is common for talents to raise people to linger in fireworks.

But it is forbidden to patrol the city yamen, and moreover.

It will also affect the reputation of our Shanhai Alliance. ”

"Don't talk to me about those Taoisms, I'm not rare."

Zhang Xiancai waved his hand boringly, then looked at Jia Cong and smiled.

"I see, Jingzhi hasn't opened meat yet.

You're defending him, aren't you?

Come on, if you don't go, I'll go by myself. ”

Zhang Jian went to the kiln.

Liuliuhe shook his head in disappointment: "It's not ladylike to meet people, it's not ladylike to meet people!" ”

Jia Cong: "......"

"It's been eight or nine days, I'll go home and report a message."

Jia Cong said goodbye, thought about it and said: "You should also do your best to be a landlord."

Come out and I'll treat you, and you pick a place. ”

"The banquet wine order is annoying, so it's better to go to the suburbs and have a look.

There are fairs and temple fairs in Beijing every seven days.

On that day, when I entered Beijing from the West Gate, I saw a young woman from a distance who was leading the practice.

looks like a Jiangnan woman, with a slender waist and willows.

The grooming and demeanor are extraordinary. ”

Wang Hao folded the fan against his chin, leisurely.

"This is a wonderful thing, much better than Zhang Xiancai's vulgar things.

He should regret it, and he is in Simon Muni Courtyard. ”

"Cultivating with hair?"

Saturday muttered, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for us scholars to approach this kind of person, right?" ”

"Alas......"

This time, it was Wang Hao's turn to be disappointed and scoffed: "She is a monk, isn't it good for us to pray for blessings and ask God?"

Does Bian Yujing know?

People are also monks, and there are still romantic stories. ”

Simon Muni Monastery?

Could it be......

"Whatever, I'll pay for the water and wine."

Jia Cong's eyelids were raised, and he had a faint guess.

After the agreement, the three of them said goodbye.

It was stuffy for eight or nine days.

As soon as I came out, I felt like I had seen the light of day again.

——————

Dongcheng, Luo Province.

Wei Wuzhi stayed at Luo Min's house, and Luo Min was qualified to be the head of the six departments.

It's the boss of the department again.

There is a lot of traffic in front of the gate, and the door is like a city.

Backyard gazebo, stone table chessboard.

The two uncles and nephews played against each other.

Luo Min held Baizi: "I have read your three articles.

With Xu Shilang's recommendation, there is no doubt about it!

Xie Yuan is also promising. ”

Wei Wuzhi was short of breath and hurriedly calmed down.

Go Heizi took a few steps and made a faint move: "I'm ashamed, thanks to my uncle's teaching." ”

Tribute courtyard inner curtain.

Housing official Qian Xihong recommended the first article.

After the main examiner finished reading in a hazy way, he asked the deputy chief examiner Xu Youzhen to take a look.

Xu Youzhen whispered:

"The Ming Hadith is constant, and Doctor Chu can remember it."

You guys know it very well.

Breaking the problem is clear, and it is very good.

"Hadith" breaks "Yayan", and "Doctor Chu" breaks "Ye Gong".

From this, it can be seen that this candidate is familiar with the history of the Spring and Autumn Period.

The historical foundation is good.

Xu Youzhen read the last two comparisons: "Fu Yayan's words are spread in the eastern country."

After winning Lin's last pen, he became a literary sect of his own.

And Ye Gong is from the south, and he reads the sheep to witness his father.

He was taught by a saint. ”

Read to the end.

"However, the Master cannot be silent!"

That's it!

The sinister smile on the corner of Xu Youzhen's mouth flew quickly, and he said respectfully: "Lord Examiner, it seems to me that this article can determine the solution."

Lord Qian recommended it well, according to his room.

This article belongs to Shuntianfu, and it is also the main examiner.

Lord Yin has meritorious education. ”

Yu Hazy hesitated: "After this candidate's Five Classics questions and policy arguments are reviewed, it will not be too late." ”

Xu Youzhen, the deputy chief examiner, and Qian Xihong, the same examiner, did not refute.

It is equivalent to reading the candidate's spring and autumn questions and strategies in a hazy manner.

It's also decent.

But the first one was really good.

A few days later.

Sixty percent of the people who fell off the list.

Shuntianfu Township Test Quota.

The emperor appointed it at more than six hundred, almost one out of twenty.

All the examiners, almost all the names of the candidates.

The ranking of the list was determined, and the number was to be sung in front of the hall on this day.

Sixteen examiners gathered together.

The township test dragon and tiger list is divided into the main list and the deputy list.

Write the positive list first.

The top six are written on the main list, starting from the sixth place.

Several scribes were under the main seat, crouching behind the case.

A scribe compares the scroll with a scroll of vermilion and an ink scroll to unpack the name.

A scribe writes a list and finishes reading the sixth place.

The scribe read again.

"Fifth place Spring and Autumn Jingkui, Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture, Wang Hao!"

"Today, Keshun Tianfu is full of talents, and two of the top five are recommended by rich adults."

"Congratulations! Congratulations! ”

The officials and scribes brought red candles to Qian Xihong's table one after another.

Qian Xihong smiled from ear to ear.

Yu Hazy and Xu Youzhen also smiled at the loud lobby.

This is a regulatory practice, and there must be five classics in the township test.

The selection of the housing official who is Jingkui not only has face.

He is also the seat teacher of the Jingkui.

Thereafter.

Qian Xihong became Wang Hao's teacher.

The scribe read the first place: "Xie Yuan, Liangxiang County, Shuntian Prefecture, Wei Wuzhi!" ”

Then the drummers and emcees were crowded.

A swarm of bees went to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to make a list.

At this time.

Yu Hazy frowned and asked, "That Jia Cong, the first prodigy of Great Chu, why is he not on the list?" ”

Qian Xihong's old face smiled, and his eyes rolled: "My lord, Jia Cong's Zhu Juan."

It is also a lowly review, which is a taboo of Buddhism and inappropriate wording.

Take it as a falling volume, and it won't go wrong. ”

"Hmmm......"

Because Qian Xihong won the top five in a row, he can be described as a discerning hero.

Yu Hazy didn't want to look at the scroll anymore, and said: "It's good to hone and hone, the young man is too angular." ”

Xu Youzhen smiled but did not speak.

Wei Wuzhi will try again if he is next year.

He is the first benefactor that Wei Wuzhi should be grateful for.

Such unspoken rules, Wei Wuzhi has no intention of repaying them.

The words are divided into two ends.

Let's say that Jia Congxiang went home after the test to report the news and ask for peace.

The scene is also too bland, and Jia's mother is gone.

Tell the mandarin duck to reply "Got it" outside the door.

On the east road, Jia Amnesty is in the mood for Langshan.

However, he was told to wait for the release of the list, but it was the second uncle Jia Zheng.

seemed to be more attentive than Jia Yu, and asked for a few words of encouragement.

There is also a vague mention of this year's national official examination.

Anyone who has anything to do with Wang Ziteng is basically fine.

The people of Rongguo Mansion can't be said to be completely bad to the bone.

In Jia Cong's impression of reading the Red Mansion, Jia Zheng was the male owner of Jia's Mansion.

The only one who has foreshadowed a family crisis many times.

But he is weak and ambitious.

Miss daughter, Mrs. and grandmother.

Jia Yuanchun, Qin Keqing, Wang Xifeng, Jia Tanchun, etc.

For the current situation of the family, they are all bright-hearted.

reported the banquet in the same year, and Jia Yu had nothing to do.

Jia Cong took Tie Niu and Cao Dahua to dismount outside the Xibian Gate and entered the Muni Courtyard with Wang Hao and Saturday.

The monasteries are relatively desolate and pilgrims are scarce.

Recalling that I went to Wanping and Gu'an with Qin Zhong on this street.

It was also here that I met for the first time with Saturday.

The two talked about it in the past two years.

But it's like a dream.

On the occasion of life, it is wonderful to meet fate.

The remnants of the three bays support the main hall.

Jia Cong walked through the outer door.

The three of them suddenly saw a red plum tree by the wall.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman in paddy field clothes is digging a pit with a hoe.

Buried four or five grimace blue porcelain altars.

The woman has a graceful posture and a snowy face on the side.

In a Buddhist temple, he wears a paddy field coat with Taoist charm.

It's weird.

Jia Cong looked back and found that Wang Hao and Liuhe were stunned.

Although Emperor Qiande believed in Buddhism and worshiped Buddhism, he did not disclose it to the whole world.

Therefore, the situation that the world is vying to build temples and cater to Qianlong has not appeared.

The peasants of Dachu preferred to kowtow and burn incense to various local gods who blessed their land.

Buddha and Tao are far-reaching.

There are very few pilgrims in Muniyuan.

He went to Beijing with his master.

Miaoyu has been buried in the Panxiang Temple of Xuanshan Mountain in Suzhou for many years, and the rainwater has also gone north.

The same as the famous monks of the monastery.

She is very particular about drinking tea.

The location of the rainwater, the porcelain it contains, and the place where it is buried.

All carefully selected.

But if it's a little unclean, she doesn't want it.

The moniwon was a rented place for their master and apprentice.

Miaoyu was born as the daughter of an official eunuch.

Since I was a child, I got sick and bought a stand-in, but it was useless.

I had to become a monk on my own.

Later, her family fell into the middle of the road, but she also had a small amount of money.

There are mothers-in-law and girls around me.

The so-called "stand-in".

It is a kind of person who often has feudal superstition: if he gets sick himself, he buys someone to become a monk instead of himself.

In order to eliminate the disease and eliminate the disaster, it is called a substitute.

Daoist Zhang of the Tiejian Temple of Jiafu Family Temple.

It is the stand-in of Jia Yuan, the second generation of Rongguo Gong.

Stand-ins, only the rich and noble can afford to buy them.

Miaoyu buried the rain and turned around, with long hair and a shawl.

Although the paddy field coat made up of silk satin is wide.

But when the autumn breeze is blowing, you can also roughly estimate the thickness of her figure.

has the grace and grace of a Jiangnan woman.

Plain face to the sky, no powder, a pair of thin lips pursed.

I can't help but sigh!

This ruined temple has treated the beauty badly - except for the red plum in the corner of the wall that adds a little color.
