My life skills in Daming Liver

In the county school, Hai Rui was giving a surprise lecture to three people.

The day of the county examination came out, the tenth day of February.

In fact, at the level of the county examination, the imperial examination is not so serious.

The reason is also very simple. There are three exams for boys, and the county exam is just a qualification exam. Passing the county exam is just a qualification for the government exam.

Hai Rui didn't talk about the Four Books and Five Classics today, but explained the rules of the county examination to the three of them.

"In the next few days, you can go to the ceremony room to sign up. After you sign up, you have to hand in 20 papers for the marked test paper and 20 plain paper manuscripts."

The answer sheets and draft papers for the county examination are all prepared by the examinees themselves, but in order to prevent cheating in the exam, these papers must be handed over to the county government office in advance, and after the examination is completed, they will be distributed to all candidates in disorder.

In fact, when answering the papers, only three answer papers and nine manuscript papers are used, and the remaining papers will naturally not be returned to candidates, but will be used as office paper for the county government.

Su Ze couldn't help complaining, these people don't let go of any tricks.

Hai Rui continued: "You all know the process of the county test, right? Let me explain the precautions again."

"There are three county examinations. The first test consists of one piece of "Four Books" and "Five Classics", and one poem in cursive style."

"The most important thing in this dynasty is the classics and meanings, and the selection of candidates is mainly on the first day of the exam. As long as the classics and meanings are mastered, as long as the rhyme is not wrong in the body-fitting poems, the candidates will basically not be dismissed in the next two rounds."

People at the time were the most stereotyped, and some private schools didn't even bother to teach the last two exams. Anyway, as long as you pass the scriptures, you can pass the exam, so why waste time on other things.

Hai Rui continued: "In the second test, Zhao Haobiao judges, as long as there is no problem with the format, don't say something rebellious, and you won't be dismissed."

After speaking, Hai Rui took a look at Su Ze. He already recognized Su Ze's ability in Jingyi, but he was afraid that he would get too hot and write some reactionary content in the paper.

Zhaohao expresses judgments, imperial edicts are the official documents of the yamen, expresses are commendation documents, and judgments are judgments. These are the writing of official documents, and the format is correct.

"The last one is policy theory. In the past, dismissing people was mostly a taboo issue. The county examination is not the palace examination, and it is enough to be stable."

Since the birth of the imperial examination, the focus of the examination has also undergone many changes.

Probably the context is from the most important "literature" in the Tang Dynasty, to the most important "theory" in the Song Dynasty, and then to the most important "classics" in the Ming Dynasty.

Poems, which were valued in the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty, were personal literary accomplishments.

The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was not the only way to become an official. In the Tang Dynasty, there were such a long-standing family with five surnames and Qiwang, and Jinshiguan was far less valuable than Ming Dynasty.

In the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty, poetry was used to select scholars, which also led to serious fraud in the entire imperial examinations. It was common practice to pass papers before the exams. Many literati would present poems to dignitaries to gain literary names, or rely on dignitaries to get recommendations.

Learning from the lessons of the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty began to place less emphasis on poetry and prose, and instead emphasized practical policies, that is, the writing of policy theory.

However, there is still a problem with the writing of practical policy theory, that is, it is unfair to the children of poor families.

Of course, everyone knows that policy theory selects scholars, and it selects talents who are useful to the country, but policy theory can be written by ordinary people?

Children from poor families may not even be able to afford the Four Books and Five Classics, let alone Qin and Han prose and history books.

Policy theory in the Song Dynasty must have both literary talent and arguments, and the arguments are naturally accumulated from daily reading.

Scholars from poor families are naturally at a disadvantage in the policy theory test. This is similar to if the college entrance examination not only requires language and mathematics, but also music and art scientific research results, this thing is not for ordinary people.

There is another shortcoming of the result of policy theory, that is, it is too directional.

All important ministers in the Song Dynasty must know the tribute examination, that is, they have presided over an imperial examination.

The ministers of Zhigongju can admit candidates according to their own preferences and political standpoints, so the political inclination of the admitted candidates must be the same as that of the chief examiner of Zhigongju.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, there were old and new party members who had fought for several generations, and the imperial examinations became a tool for party struggle.

The Ming Dynasty learned from the previous lessons. Although there are still poems and essays, they are no longer the main content of the examination.

The test is "Four Books and Five Classics". The imperial court has set the test scope and test supplementary books for you. The poor and the rich will be tested according to this test!

Therefore, although stereotyped candidates are regarded as a symbol of backwardness by later generations because of the perverted test content and strict test format.

But if we put it in the present, a college entrance examination that only takes a written test, and a college entrance examination that only takes "quality education" and recommendation letters, which one should ordinary people choose?

In the final analysis, the imperial examination is a selective examination.

No matter what the content of the exam is, as long as it is a selective exam, the top talents will inevitably be selected.

After hearing Hai Rui finished speaking, he said, "I want to avoid suspicion this time, so I won't take part in the invigilation of the county test. You all work hard."

Before the exam, there were rumors in the county. All three of them were Hai Rui's students, and they all said that Hai Rui would help his own students in the county exam.

Hai Rui directly applied to Baizhi County to avoid suspicion, and the rumors were much quieter.

After saying some words of encouragement, Hai Rui left this time.

Chen Chaoyuan, the oldest among the three, said:

"There are still some details about this county test, let me tell Brother Su too."

Chen Chaoyuan said:

"Brother Su needs to prepare some food. Each of the three exams takes one day. You can bring food in."

"However, it's best not to bring things like steamed buns and pastries. Eggs and duck eggs should also be cut open."

Su Ze asked suspiciously: "Is there any taboo?"

Chen Chaoyuan shook his head and said, "This is not a taboo. In order to prevent entrainment, soldiers will break open cakes and steamed buns for inspection, and eggs and duck eggs will also be pinched."

Su Ze thought about the hygienic level of soldiers in this era, and the way they squeezed the food with their fingers, and suddenly lost his appetite.

Su Ze said quickly: "I understand, Brother Chen!"

Chen Chaoyuan said: "No one told me about this in my first county test, and the steamed buns I brought in were crumbled to pieces."

"Naturally needless to say the four treasures of the study, oil paper and sachets are also required."

Now even Lin Qingcai looked at Chen Chaoyuan. He also participated in the county examination, but he didn't prepare for these things.

Chen Chaoyuan said: "This is also a matter of experience. The test shed is rudimentary and leaks wind and rain. After entering, it should be sealed with oiled paper. If it rains, there will be a shelter."

"I had an exam, and it was raining lightly outside and heavy rain in the exam booth. I had to cover the exam paper with my clothes on to complete the answer. In the end, I was dismissed because the ink was smudged."

So miserable.

Su Ze asked again: "What about the sachet?"

Chen Chaoyuan said: "Some of the testing sheds have a good location, and naturally there are those with a bad location. The worst location is the one next to the hut, and there are many peculiar smells in the test shed. The sachet is used to cover the smell."

Chen Chaoyuan sighed and said: "The test shed is called a 'room', and the environment is not much better than the county prison. Fortunately, the county test does not lock the courtyard. It only takes three days and you can go back after each test. At home, those who are weaker will suffer from serious illness when they come back from the provincial examination."

Su Ze was also silent. It seems that he is not in good health and cannot take the imperial examination.

These are Chen Chaoyuan's valuable experience in participating in the county examination many times. Su Ze and Lin Qingcai quickly expressed their gratitude to him.

After Chen Chaoyuan finished speaking, he said in a low voice: "This year is my last exam. If I fail the exam again, then I will become a lawyer with my clan brother."

When it came to this topic, the atmosphere became much more dignified.

The Chen family is not rich, so it is impossible for Chen Chaoyuan to continue his endless imperial examinations.

Most of the scholars will also set a deadline for themselves, and there are still very few old students with gray hair in the exam.

Chen Chaoyuan is almost 30 years old, his son is about to start school, and it is impossible for the family to support two scholars.

Chen Chaoyuan smiled and said, "Thank you Rulin for finding me a job. If I don't win this year, then I will work hard in the editorial department."

Su Ze didn't know how to answer. The imperial examination level of Chen Chaoyuan and Lin Qingcai would be Lv4 if they were graded by the system.

Whether they can pass the exam depends on luck, or the personal preferences of the examiners, and even the location of the seats in the exam room, whether it rains or not, may be the reason that affects their grades.

After talking about the imperial examination, the three of them went to the ceremony room to register. Before they even got to the county government, they saw crowds of people.

Su Ze was also shocked. He didn't expect that there were so many scholars in Nanping County.

Chen Chaoyuan said: "Last year, there were more than 400 people in Nanping County who participated in the county examination. This year, there are only a lot more."

Su Ze said in surprise, "So many?"

Chen Chaoyuan said: "That's too much? There are more than a thousand people in the county of Fuzhou Prefecture, and we are already much less."

Well, Fujian is worthy of being a major province of imperial examinations, and there are really many candidates.

Chen Chaoyuan said: "Brother Su, you don't have to worry. Most of these people came here to experience it. They came here to familiarize themselves with the examination room and the examination process, and to set a goal for future studies."

Su Ze understood what he meant, just like later generations who take the civil service exam as a freshman. Most people come to the county to practice their skills.

After queuing for a long time, the three of them finally entered the county office, and they met an acquaintance just after entering the county office.

When Lin Xianda saw Su Ze, he immediately greeted him.

"Brother Aze, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I will take you to the ceremony room to register."

The scholars around glared at Su Ze, but after a few people recognized Su Ze, everyone looked away.

Lin Xianda works in the Department of Development and Development, and has contact with all the departments of the county government. He is smart in handling affairs and is a popular person in front of Baizhi County.

Su Ze smiled and said, "It's almost time, thank you Brother Xianda."

Lin Xianda thought for a while and said, "Then I will row with Brother Ze."

Su Ze handed in Zhou Xiucai's guarantee letter and supporting documents when he first came to the county government clerk's house. If all the scholars in the county were submitting proof materials for trial at this time, the people in the clerk's house would be too busy to work overtime.

Most of the scholars have already confirmed their qualifications for the exam. The so-called registration is just a procedure to determine the reference.

So the queue lined up very quickly. After entering the ceremony room, Su Ze saw a row of tables with five officials sitting in the back. Su Ze was quickly called to the table on the far side.

Isn't this old official the one who learned that skill when Su Ze came to the county government for the first time?

Seeing Su Ze's name, the old official raised his eyes, and immediately said enthusiastically after seeing Su Ze: "Mr. Su, wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"

Su Ze thought that the first time he saw this old official, he used the scribbled handwriting of the insurance book to ask him to go back and rewrite it, and he was completely different from now.

How dare this old official in the ceremonial house offend Su Ze now? He is a scholar who is favored by the government and county government, a ruthless person who can kill even Zhishi Cai, and the editor-in-chief of the most famous "Surprise" in the entire Yanping Mansion.

After a while, the old official registered the "Examination Booklet", asked Su Ze to sign it and put it on hold, and quickly took out a wooden sign from behind.

A six.

The county examination has already begun to blur the name, and this brand is Su Ze's examination admission ticket number. He can't write his own name on the county examination paper, so he can only write the number Jialiu.

The county test takes three days, but it is not a continuous test. After one test, you can rest for two days before taking the test.

After passing one exam, a list will be released, and only candidates who pass can take the next exam.

In addition to the last official announcement, the first two announcements will only write the test numbers of the candidates who passed.

Su Ze took the wooden sign, and the old official said flatteringly: "A-6 is the examination number of the head of the case last year. I wish Mr. Su good luck in the examination!"

Well, isn't this the jersey number of the retired star? Can this be given as a favor?

Chen Chaoyuan and Lin Qingcai also registered.

Chen Chaoyuan is Jiashiba, Lin Qingcai is Bingqi.

Chen Chaoyuan saw Su Ze's number plate: "Congratulations, brother Su, Jialiu was the number plate of the case last year."

Chen Chaoyuan said in a low voice: "In the past, this number plate would cost at least five taels of silver."

Su Ze is no longer the poor man he used to be, but he was still surprised by the five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver for such a number?

Chen Chaoyuan said in a low voice: "Last year, the number plate at the head of the case was five taels of silver, the number plate of Tongsheng was four taels of silver, the number plate of the government examination was only three taels of silver, and the number plate of the county examination was only two taels of silver. "

"If you come late and you can't buy it with money, it seems that someone has said hello."

Su Ze was also speechless. Sure enough, the yamen of the Ming Dynasty had clearly marked prices, and it was true that "since ancient times, the yamen opened to the south, and there was no reason to enter without money."

Sure enough, before reaching the door, he saw Chen Bofei, the county government servant, standing at the door. He smiled and said to Su Ze:

"Su Xianggong, have you got the number plate?"

Only then did Su Ze realize that this was Chen Bofei's greeting. Chen Bofei cupped his hands and said, "I wish Mr. Su the top case in high school!"

In the next few days, Su Ze was seriously studying and brushing up questions. Lin Deqing sent the latest "Selected Journals of Time and Literature". After reading the article, I carefully figured out the true meaning of the topic, and gained a lot of experience in imperial examination skills.

[Copy Stereotype, Imperial Examination Skill +30, Lv6, 993/3000]

Lv6 imperial examination skills are more than enough to take the county examination, but Su Ze's goal is the Qiuwei rural examination in August. According to the current progress, he can barely pass the imperial examination to Lv10 before the rural examination.

Su Ze looked at the panel:

Su Ze, male, 25 years old.

Intelligence: 12

Strength: 11 (the previous errata, it is 11)

Dexterity: 6

Charm: 6

Remaining attribute points: 0

It seems that the rest will have to add intelligence attribute points.

On February 5th, Huang Tiju from the Huimin Pharmacy Bureau sent a sachet, and in a blink of an eye it was the day before the county examination.

Errata of the previous article, power is 11, the previous article has been changed.

sorry sorry.
