On the ninth day of the National Examination, everyone entered the examination hall. On the 11th, they started transcribing the first test. On the 12th, the questions for the second test came out. Therefore, the clerk who transcribed the first 10,000 test papers had not finished copying the other 10,000. Multiple test papers came over again.
The normal progress is to wait until the 15th day before starting to transcribe the articles for the second session.
After the exam on the 15th, it was really killing me, and the plan for the third game was suppressed again.
Many people in later generations thought that after entering the examination room, they would eat steamed buns and drink water every day, and be so busy that they could finally collect more than 10,000 papers within ten days after the examination.
Thinking too much.
Whenever it comes to opportunities that can be exploited, no matter ancient or modern, they can always be exploited.
Since entering the examination room.
There are curtain banquets and title banquets for officials of all sizes to read documents, a big banquet on the fifth day and a small banquet on the third day. Today is February 20th, which happens to be the day when the transcription is completed.
All the petty officials in the examination room cheered for joy. Why?
Because the coupon-taking feast has begun again.
The list was released on the twenty-nine, and the cursive script was set on the twenty-fifth and sixth.
The time spent in the hospital to actually read the papers to the house officer, fellow students, and the president was less than half a month.
Moreover, in the past half month, I have had frequent banquets, so I have always been criticized for it. I feel that instead of wasting time on eating and drinking, it is better to spend more time reading whether there are any good articles that I have missed.
Wu Xingbang and Qiu Teng were also worried. Even the emperor knew that the banquet distracted people's energy, misjudged test papers, and missed talents.
Emperor Yingzong once criticized this matter tactfully, saying: "The examiner looked tired and failed to examine carefully." This caused the must-take test papers to be "deposed".
Many people in later generations cursed the examiner as a "blind examiner" after being deposed.
Qiu Teng saw this and was anxious in his heart. He asked to stop the banquet several times.
However, Wu Xingbang was not willing to lose people's hearts because of such a trivial matter, so he repeatedly tried to prevaricate the matter on the grounds of following the rules.
After finally getting to 20, the room officials finally started to read the papers. Qiu Teng led a group of fellow examiners to stand by the 18th room, waiting for the papers to be picked up.
Finally, all the papers for the first performance were selected.
Qiu Teng quickly asked someone to send the paper to Wu Xingbang.
Wu Xingbang has always been a master who never changes his expression even if the mountain collapses before him.
There were people worrying about him, so he was not in a hurry.
But Qiu Teng came back in a hurry. He finally put down the book in his hand and helped the old man finish.
"Sister Qiu, there are dedicated people to do these things, why do you have to follow behind and work so hard?"
Qiu Teng sighed and said: "Mr. Wu Ge, the imperial court is currently having a hard time spending money and is using troops. If it is delayed for one more day, the expenses in the trial court will be wasted. I really can't bear to see it..."
Wu Xingbang smiled slightly. Although he also knew how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, he was in the center and knew that there were many corruption incidents.
Not to mention knowing how to try this little money, a county magistrate can fish out this money within one year of taking office. It's better for this old gentleman to worry about these small issues here.
However, he knew that he knew this kind of thing immediately, but he couldn't say anything about it, lest the old gentleman would complain again. Although he was already a cabinet minister, he was also afraid that these old Confucians would talk about some great truths.
Qiu Teng couldn't sit still. Seeing his fellow examiners starting to distribute test papers, he stood up and said, "I'll go take a look!"
In the Ming Dynasty in another time and space, after the imperial examination became mature, the three examinations of the provincial examination and the general examination only focused on the first eight-part essay, and the seven eight-part essays first focused on the first art.
What is Shouyi?
In the Ming Dynasty, Shouyi refers to the question of the classics in the Five Classics.
But it is different in this dynasty.
This dynasty attaches great importance to the "Four Books" because although Song Confucianism believes that the "Five Classics" are much more profound and difficult to understand than the "Four Books", the "Four Books" are the ladder of the "Six Classics", and the first art of the Wei Dynasty refers to the Four Books The first question.
The title of the four books this time is "There is a Way to Make Money". Mr. Qiu has long been eager to read it, wondering if he can discover some economic talents from it.
But a gentleman does not talk about profit, which makes him worry that these candidates will take evil paths and get into money.
Although when it comes to the general examination, it is unlikely that there will be a mediocre person who does not know the meaning of the scriptures and writes randomly, but this is even more terrifying.
Because many scholars know nothing about economics, he estimates that a large number of people will die in this year's premiere.
Sure enough, he was disappointed after a tour.
Most of the articles there were nonsense. Let alone being admitted to the imperial examination, he really wanted to wash his head in the water. The answers were all nonsense.
At this time, a paper in the hand of a fellow examiner attracted his attention.
"The author of "The Biography" discusses the key points of financial management, and if you get the key points, you will always be prosperous..."
When Qiu Teng saw this question, he nodded immediately.
As for the so-called "Zhuan", it is said that "The Great Learning" was dictated by Confucius and recorded by Zengzi, so the "Zhuan" was written by Zengzi.
This sentence means that the "Biography" says there are many key points in financial management, and if you master them, you will be rich.
What's the point. The author didn't say it, but the hook was set from this point on.
[Then use the Nine Fus to appoint all the people, drive them away from laziness, and farm them, without leaving them with any spare energy, and their wealth will be consumed by food, and the disease will be caused by not being few]!
When the candidate wrote this, Qiu Teng knew that he had read "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" thoroughly.
The so-called Jiu Fu refers to the ancient taxes. Among them, there are nine types: Bangzhong, Sijiao, Bangdian, Jiapi, Bangxian, Bangdu, Guanshi, Shanze and Huiyu.
The source of these nine poems comes from "Lu Shi Chun Qiu".
Zhu Shengren's explanation of the sentence "There is a way to make money" comes from "Lu Shi Chun Qiu". This juren pointed out two things at once.
First, I have read Zhu Shengren’s commentaries.
Second, I am very familiar with "Lu's Spring and Autumn".
Scholars brag, never beat their chests, only say a few words silently, and then make thunderous noises, which makes people convinced.
I have to say that this person is pretty impressive even if he just has this little thought, not to mention how good his articles are.
The point is, as long as you are a scholar, you will still follow his rules.
[Those who want to grow the country have this intention. Although it is not a joke to say that there are many people, it is enough for the purpose of the country. If he uses his selfishness to compete with the people for small and large profits, what he gains is not enough to compensate for the loss. . 】
After reading the entire article, Qiu Teng couldn't help but nod and said, "Great article!"
Put your mind on national affairs and don't compete with the people for profit. Only in this way can you gain something instead of losing more than you gain.
I have to say that this kind of article is most in line with the taste of old scholars.
The room official nodded again and again and looked at it for a long time. It was all garbage.
Seeing this is like smelling pandan.
Moreover, during the general examination, the CEO must personally write a sample essay to name his thoughts. Although he may not be able to express his political ambitions in full, he can roughly outline the scope and use it to let the room official and colleagues The examiner makes a selection based on comparison.
Obviously, this article on Juren was very close to Wu Xingbang's model article. He did not hesitate to write comments on it with a green pen.
Qiu Teng was speechless and wrote the word "中" on it with the same examiner's green pen.
After he finished writing the word [中], he still had to show it to Wu Xingbang.
But generally Wu Xingbang would not refute the face of Qiu Teng, who is also the examiner.
Therefore, the first candidate to pass the first art test was born.
Not surprisingly, this guy will be the first person admitted in the undergraduate examination.
