The medicine in this post to relieve sweating is really powerful.
That night, Qi Yu was sweating profusely, and even the bed he slept on was soaked. The whole night, others were in a daze, feeling like they were sleepwalking. In addition, my throat hurt so much that it felt like it was on fire.
What a torture...
Just after the third watch, the students got up early, and there were sounds of washing and urinating everywhere, as well as the rustling of exam baskets being packed away.
Qi Yu was woken up. He opened his eyes and woke up. He felt that his whole body was sore. Not only his lips were chapped and peeling, but there were also a few blisters at the corners of his mouth.
Shao Qing and Qi Jing ran over and said, "Shaocheng, how do you feel? Otherwise..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi Yu said decisively: "No! Persistence is victory. I will never give up until the last moment. I must take the test in this round!"
"Um……"
Although Qi Jing was a little worried, it was hard to say anything at this juncture.
No one can talk nonsense about the future!
The army of scholars has set off!
Qi Yu was feeling dizzy on the way there, but Qi Jing helped him into the dragon gate.
It wasn't until the muffled sound of the Gongyuan gate closing came that Qi Yu felt a little awake.
Yes, the exam is coming, cheer up!
If that doesn't work, just twist your thigh. Although it's not as good as the ancient people's thorns, it can still have some refreshing effects.
The hair is curly.
Read the papers first.
Oh...the highlight of the imperial examination is here:
Policy theory!
The title is "On the pros and cons of re-opening the maritime ban."
This question is very valuable!
This not only requires students to be familiar with history, but also to be able to analyze the pros and cons of sea trade. This kind of knowledge is not something that ordinary people can understand.
Now, unlike future generations, we can learn about changes and information in the world through various channels. Like people in later generations, even if they don't know much about it, they can at least know the territory of other countries, where they are located, and whether they are rich or not.
But most of the current candidates are scholars. Let alone going abroad, they don't even understand the neighboring countries. How can they understand the sea trade with Western countries?
Although this question has no pitfalls, it is difficult.
Qi Yu took a look and was shocked...
This kind of question is not covered in "Dengke Collection"!
How to answer?
Don't be anxious yet, calm down and think carefully.
Historically, the maritime trade situation of each dynasty was different, so it is best to analyze it from the present.
Since the founding of the Feng Dynasty, it has always maintained a slightly open attitude, and its trade with Western countries has also been quite active. The benefits of this are also obvious. Not only do the people buy better products, but the national treasury also becomes full.
From the perspective of people's livelihood and tax revenue, the benefits of re-opening the maritime ban outweigh the disadvantages.
However, in recent years, due to the rampant Japanese pirates and the setbacks of naval campaigns, the late emperor had no choice but to issue some temporary sea bans to ensure temporary stability. The length of the sea ban also varies, from one to two months to half a year. The sea ban has been opened and opened many times.
The effect is still very obvious. After closing the port terminal, the number of pirate landings has been significantly reduced.
From the perspective of national defense and security, re-opening the maritime ban will do more harm than good.
So the question is, is it better to open it? Or is it better to ban it?
No matter which argument you choose, it must be supported by sufficient arguments and arguments.
Herein lies the difficulty... How can one who sits in a well and looks at the sky know what is outside?
It’s really hard to make a decision based on just a few words of hearsay!
However, as a time traveler, Qi Yu naturally has a world view that others cannot understand, and he also has a deeper understanding of the isolation of the country, which is also a rare advantage.
From the perspective of future generations, there is no doubt that the benefits of re-opening the maritime ban outweigh the disadvantages!
It all depends on how you approach the Tao.
Qi Yu first started with the cultural exchanges between countries, and then extended to the fields of economy, trade and national defense, and even gave his own opinions on future wars and the world pattern.
The conclusion is that we must open up communication and keep pace with the times. Only in this way can the country become rich and the people strong! The benefits are not only tax-related, but also have far-reaching political significance.
Once the country closes itself off and remains self-contained, it will only lead to death in the end, and it will be passively beaten!
Besides, with the maritime ban, trade cannot be completely blocked, and smuggling will definitely increase sharply.
As for the worry that the reopening of the sea ban will affect stability, is there something wrong with this logic?
If we can't defeat the Japanese pirates, it's because our country's navy is not strong enough! Strengthening military construction is the right answer! Could it be that by closing the country's borders, the Navy will become stronger?
This is like if your son was beaten, instead of going to the other person to argue with him, you closed the door to your own house. Is this how you can solve the problem?
In other words, wouldn't it be better to invest the tax money gained from maritime trade in naval construction?
Re-opening the sea ban will do more good than harm!
Qi Yu first listed these arguments one by one, and then made a draft.
This kind of question is time-consuming and energy-consuming, so don’t rush.
During this period, Qi Yu kept drinking water to moisten his throat, and kept going back and forth between the buckets...
After half a day, the fever on my forehead actually subsided.
However, after sweating, my body felt even weaker.
Not only is the food here poor, but the living conditions are also cold. Now coupled with the excessive use of brainpower, how can we not feel tired?
Persistence is victory!
He gritted his teeth and continued to grade.
The next question is an essay titled "Talk about not being ashamed to ask questions".
This wise saying is well known to women and children. It doesn’t have much new meaning. The central idea is also very clear, which is to have a correct attitude towards learning.
Qi Yu recalled "Dengke Collection" and remembered that there were several articles about "learning". Can we learn from it?
…
Finally arrived at the last question.
Um?
Niang Xipi!
The test result turned out to be an essay!
Exhortations refer to documents used for edicts, recruitment, denunciation, etc., and are extremely critical.
However, since ancient times, there has never been a case of writing an essay in the imperial examination. This is an unprecedented first time. Why did it happen to me?
It can be imagined that at this time, the candidates not only have grass and mud horses galloping in their minds, but they may even have the heart to greet such and such ancestors!
Who asked the question?
I haven’t even prepared for this!
How to answer?
Winging it?
That's all it has to be.
Let’s look at the title first: “The Bandits of the Emperor-Worship Cult”.
Denounce imperialism?
Could it be that the emperor wanted to do something?
Too far away...
Qi Yu quickly pulled back his thoughts and continued to examine the question carefully.
Since we want to criticize imperialism, we must first understand their essence.
In addition to the information he learned from the government leaflets, Qi Yu also had other insights. That is, the understanding of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom movement in later generations.
Well, I have an idea.
Not only the country, but also Qi Yu personally hated the Emperor Worship Cult with deep hatred!
They burned my ancestral home and beat my brother-in-law, causing my wife to give birth prematurely and become infertile. They not only killed Xiaotong's biological parents, but also killed his second uncle.
Since you want to scold me, why not give it a hearty scolding!
As for how to curse, Qi Yu has already drafted it.
I still remember that there was a famous official in later generations named Zeng Guofan, who once wrote a very similar denunciation article...
Copy something?
How can the things done by scholars be called plagiarism?
That’s called learning!
Zeng Guofan, this old man is not a simple man. He started reading the Four Books and Five Classics when he was eight years old. He was a Jinshi in high school at the age of twenty-seven. He is absolutely talented. His achievements in martial arts are even more outstanding. At the same time, he is one of the few important court ministers in history who was posthumously named "Wenzheng".
In my memory, his denunciation was impassioned and stern. Although I couldn't recite it all, I could still recall a general outline.
The most important thing is that the article severely criticized the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's remarks about disrespecting Confucius. This kind of argument is very suitable for the current situation, and it has the momentum of standing on the moral high ground!
So, I concentrated my energy, hung up my pen, and wrote:
To spread the message: It has been a year now since the rebels worshiped the emperor and declared chaos, poisoning all living beings... Scholars cannot recite the scriptures of Confucius, and there is no so-called theory of God... I, Confucius and Mencius, wept bitterly in Jiuyuan. Literate people...
Qi Yu wrote with great spirit, and the entire message was written in one go, with ups and downs and magnificent waves.
After I put down the pen, I just slumped there.
…
Finally, the gong of Gongyuan rang.
Yes, the provincial examination is over.
A clerk came over and unlocked the door, then sealed the roll to conceal his identity.
"Okay, you can go."
"Thank you."
Qi Yu staggered out of the gate of Gongyuan, and then slumped down on a bluestone on the side of the road.
Coincidentally, a few of them fell down as soon as they came out, and they seemed to be ill.
…
"well……"
Sighs came and went.
Most of the people were frowning, and they were obviously stumped by the policy issue of re-opening the sea ban, and there was also the unexpected condemnation article.
Suddenly, he saw Yin Jun walking over with his head held high. He looked as usual and seemed to be performing well.
At a glance, he saw Qi Yu squatting on the side of the road without moving, so he was surprised and said: "Village man, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?"
Qi Yu raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw it was him, he said, "It's just because of the wind and cold." Then he asked again, "Bain Mianshou, how did you do in the exam?"
Yin Jun smiled and said: "According to your words, I performed extremely well this time."
cut! Look at you.
Qi Yu was not in the mood to argue with him, so he sighed softly and said, "In this case, I am improvising. Good luck or misfortune is unpredictable!"
Yin Jun babbled and thought to himself: This appeal came so suddenly, who wouldn't improvise?
"Come on, let me help you up! By the way... let's agree first, are we not allowed to touch you anymore?"
What's the meaning?
Oh...I know, haha, do you still remember the beating?
Seeing his bare hand stretched out, Qi Yuyang grabbed it and said, "Pull slowly, I'm very dizzy now~~." As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his legs soften and he fell into his arms.
Well……
The candidates passing by were all stunned when they saw this: Huh? Why are two grown men hugging each other?
The habit of cutting off sleeves?
After they looked at Yin Jun's jade-like white face, they all showed surprise.
Embarrassing~~~
At this moment, Qi Jing also walked out of the examination room. The first thing he saw was Qi Yu with his eyes closed, and he was suddenly shocked.
He didn't waste any time and directly took Qi Yu from Yin Jun's arms, then put it on his shoulder and ran away at a fast pace.
Yin Jun looked at their leaving figures, feeling a little worried in his heart.
Huh? Qi Yu fell ill, shouldn't he be happy?
