Is it true that Jintang County is so stinky that it holds the exam in a restaurant?

Moreover, this restaurant is very tall and luxurious, with five floors and one floor.

This one can already be compared with the most luxurious Ailan Restaurant in the capital.

When some students saw that the Jintang County exam was indeed held in a restaurant, they couldn't help but get furious and waved their long sleeves: "It's an insult to politeness!"

Some students simply want to leave. Jintang County is so disappointing. It turns out that the legend that the smell of money overwhelms the smell of scholarship is indeed true.

At this time, Zhang Ding, professor of the College's Classics Hall, had already led a group of teachers to come out to greet him.

When he saw these students turning around and about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

Seeing that it was the school professor who came out to greet them in person, these students felt better.

They saluted and said goodbye: "Farewell, students."

Gentlemen never say anything bad when breaking off a relationship, and they are still polite even if they want to leave a smelly place.

Zhang Ding saw so many students coming here to take the exam and felt happy for them from the bottom of his heart.

He really felt pity for these students. Some of them even came here from thousands of miles away, but they didn't expect to leave before they could catch their breath.

He hurriedly stepped forward to grab these students and said: "Dear students, since you have come to Jintang County, you might as well take the exam before leaving."

Tang Cail from Xixian County was also here. He pointed at the restaurant angrily and said, "Professor Zhang, I have heard of choosing a temple as the exam location. Why did your county choose a restaurant?"

Zhang Ding looked up and saw that the building inside really resembled a restaurant. No wonder these students had this idea.

He hurriedly grabbed the students, pointed to the archway and said, "Students, you are not wrong. This is a school, not a restaurant."

Why, this is not a restaurant, but a school.

Tang Wai looked up and saw that it read on the memorial arch: "Zhaojiazhuang Jintang County College."

It turns out that this is a college, not a restaurant.

All the students hurriedly bowed to Zhang Ding and expressed their humility. Everyone felt embarrassed and many of their faces turned red.

He actually used the school as a restaurant, which made a big joke and turned many people into country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

These students were murmuring inwardly while saluting, and they couldn't be blamed for this.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Jintang County for being so rich that you built your school as luxuriously as a restaurant.

Although I was fuming in my heart, my eyes were not fuming and I kept looking at this place like a restaurant or a school.

Fortunately, Zhang Ding knew the inner thoughts of these students and personally led these students into the legendary Zhaojiazhuang Academy.

Wow, this college is so big. The entire college covers an area of ​​thousands of acres.

There are almost everything including pavilions, rockery lakes, curved corridors, shady trees, and rows of bamboos. It is indeed a good place to cultivate your mind and nature and concentrate on studying.

The classroom is on the fifth floor and one ground floor, making it look tall and grand.

After thinking about it for a long time, I never thought that the most elegant and luxurious thing in Jintang County is not a restaurant, but a school.

This is what truly puts teaching and educating people first. Those who say that Jintang County only has businessmen and no literati can stop talking.

The college not only has a library, but also a Confucius Temple, as well as statues of Laozi, Mencius, and Zhuangzi, which are solemn, solemn, and grand.

Even the "Da Song Zhonghua News" has set up an editorial department here, revealing a strong scholarly atmosphere everywhere.

Even the logistics are taken care of. Not only do all teachers have accommodation, but all students also have accommodation.

Although the student accommodation is for eight people per room and has bunk beds, it is already the envy of students from other places.

You know, there are thousands of students in this college.

Their three meals a day were cooked in the college cafeteria, and the taste was as good as or even better than in restaurants outside.

If Jintang County does not attach importance to education, where else in the world attaches so much importance to education?

It would be great if these students turned out to be me as a student here.

Those who came here to register for the exam found that Jintang County was very thoughtful.

It actually provides three meals and a newly built exam location, but does not include accommodation. It is obviously very user-friendly compared to previous exams.

You know, in the past, you had to bring your own food box for the imperial examination.

It seems that there are good things that happened as expected, and there are also other things that were unexpected.

What, the exam not only has a written test, but also an interview?

Is this a beauty pageant? Do you also want to see if a person is beautiful or ugly?

Those handsome scholars were all very happy. It turned out that being handsome was not only popular among women, but also popular in Jintang County exams.

They thought they were already halfway successful, and couldn't help but look at those ugly literati with contempt.

Seeing the pitiful looks in the eyes of these relatively handsome literati, they wailed in their hearts, why didn't they give birth to a good child?

While they felt low on self-esteem, they worked hard on the written examination.

What is the content of the written test? Arriving at the examination room, these scholars carefully opened the examination papers.

The written test is divided into four parts, the first two parts of today’s test.

The first part is related to the "Four Books and Five Classics".

This is inevitable, this is ancient times.

The core of Confucianism is virtue, and almost the entire "Four Books and Five Classics" are devoted to morality and the principles of life, so Zhao Ping chose "Great Learning Chapters 5 to 10".

In particular, the entire chapter of "The Great Learning" is about how to be a gentleman and a work of great righteousness.

Whether it is self-cultivation, harmonizing the family, governing the country and the world, or studying things and knowing oneself, these are all from the "Great Learning" that later generations of Confucians regarded as Guigao classics.

Virtue is the foundation of Confucianism and the foundation of being a human being. If you don't have virtue, you will no longer be talented and you will be like Qin Yi and Li Linfu.

However, virtue alone is not enough. Pure morality is very likely to cultivate a group of hypocrites like Yan Song.

Therefore, Zhao Ping added law on the basis of virtue, and the content of law is "Guanzi Mingfa 46".

Guanzi is the honorific title given to Guan Zhong. He is the first person of Chinese Legalism and is known as the "Pioneer of Legalism", "Teacher of Saints" and "The First Prime Minister of China".

Some readers may not be familiar with Guan Zhong, but you know that the first overlord of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period was Qi.

The reason why Qi State turned from a weak country to a strong one is because of Guan Zhong.

Guan Zhong was recommended as prime minister by Bao Shuya, and Duke Huan of Qi called him "Father Zhong".

During his tenure, Guan Zhong carried out great reforms, rectifying administration, selecting talents, focusing on agricultural development, enriching the country and strengthening the army, making Qi a powerful country.

Guan Zhong's status in Legalism is the same as Confucius's in Confucianism, so Zhao Ping chose him to speak about the rule of law.

But just writing content isn't enough, this nerd can do it too.

Zhao Ping is not looking for nerds, but requires you to be able to use it flexibly.

Therefore, Zhao Ping requires candidates to combine themselves and talk about how they behave and do things.

One of these two talks about the legal system, and the other talks about moral cultivation, which meets the requirements of Zhao Ping's morality and legal system.

This not only tests the classic meaning, but also personal ability to perform on the spot.

After the exam, most of the candidates' brains were heavy and hungry. It turned out that noon time had arrived.

Examiner Zhang Ding waved his hand, and security guards immediately brought the braised pork, braised pork and white rice.

Except for Zhang Si and other big families who have eaten braised pork and braised pork, most of the other candidates have never tasted these legendary delicacies.

These candidates shed tears while eating. Jintang County is indeed a paradise on earth, even the candidates’ lunch is so thoughtful.

It seems that we made the right decision to come to Jintang County. Not to mention the exam, we can also taste worldly delicacies for free.

After eating, he did not take the exam immediately. Instead, he rested on the table for half an hour, which moved those students who had taken science exams.

After the break, it was already afternoon and the exam continued.

The first part can be completed by those who have been studying for about ten years, but this is only the basics.

The second part is about the literary accomplishment of the test takers.

It is required to write a poem or poem in combination with Jintang or Chengdu, but it is not allowed to recite it without any illness.

This is the literary accomplishment of the test takers. Zhao Ping hopes to see the kind of person who has poetry and calligraphy in his belly, rather than just an embroidered pillow.

When foreign candidates saw this question, they did not dare to speak out openly, but the expression on their faces was that Chengdu Prefecture is discriminating against foreign candidates.

But these foreign candidates have forgotten that Chengdu Prefecture is called the Land of Abundance and Jintang County is a paradise on earth, not to mention they just enjoyed a delicious meal.

If you can't write these, it only means that your poetry and lyrics skills are indeed not very good.

Sure enough, while some foreign candidates were biting their pens and thinking hard, some people were already writing with their literary thoughts welling up.

While patrolling the venue, the examiner looked at the candidates who were writing.

They found that some of these candidates praised the Land of Abundance, some lamented the paradise on earth, and some wrote down the delicious delicacies just mentioned.

After handing in the papers, the first day of exams ended, and the candidates handed in their papers and walked out of the examination room.

After a tiring day, the candidates returned to the inn to rest or study and prepare for the exam the next day.

Today's test questions are already quite difficult. I wonder what the questions will be tomorrow?

Some candidates were tossing and turning and could not fall asleep, while others were sleeping soundly regardless of what was going on.

The next day, these candidates happily ate the cakes (steamed buns), steamed buns (meat buns), and porridge provided by Zhaojiazhuang School.

Each of the candidates entered the examination room with high spirits and couldn't wait to open the examination papers.

After opening the test paper, most candidates were confused.

They looked at the test paper with their mouths open. Most of the candidates had never encountered this question before, and it was actually a question related to livelihood.

The content is about a fight between two families due to a dispute over land, land and water. As a county official, how do you resolve these matters.

In ancient times, people relied on the sky, especially water, to determine whether they would prosper or not. That's why it was said that water and soil support people.

Therefore, fighting over water can be said to be the most normal thing.

Not long after Zhao Ping traveled through time, he encountered this problem.

If it weren't for his ability to recite poems and defeat his opponents, Lijiazhuang might not have river water for irrigation in the entire village.

Two villages fighting for water are so cruel.

As a grassroots official, you are bound to encounter these things and must solve them.

Otherwise, people will starve to death in the light case, and peasants will revolt in the serious case.
