As a modern person, Gu Beichuan naturally does not understand stereotypes.
But he knows about exams!
After all, he is also a person who has experienced the college entrance examination with thousands of troops and horses in the future.
Not only that, but I also went through a series of processes such as the postgraduate entrance examination and the public examination.
It can be said that in the future, as long as you don't die, there will be exams waiting for you.
Even in the world, Chinese students may not be the best at studying, but they are definitely the best at taking exams.
They can always sum up various rules in the exam, and then call them the exam guide.
For example, in English listening, choose the shortest among three long and one short.
Choose the longest among three short and one long.
There are also no questions, only options, how to choose the correct answer, etc.
So, is there a so-called exam guide for selecting scholars with eight-part essay?
Of course there is!
In the late Ming Dynasty, stereotyped writing reached its peak, and those old scholars who were bright and inexperienced tortured the candidates in various ways.
The question of interception and matching only appeared at that time.
And the stereotyped writing style that is popular now has just sprouted. Compared with the stereotyped writing style in the late Ming Dynasty, it is simply a thousand miles away!
So as long as you use your experience in answering questions from eight-part essays in the late Ming Dynasty, memorize them, and become familiar with them, won't you have mastered the exam guide?
As luck would have it, when Gu Beichuan was in college, he happened to have studied a period of late Ming history concurrently, and he had studied the period of the Eight-Part Composition of Scholars in particular.
This was also the reason why he promised those merchants to ensure that their children would be named on the gold medal list.
Now that you have that diamond, are you still worried about not being able to get a porcelain job?
With this thought in mind, Gu Beichuan took out a book from his arms and placed it in front of the students.
When everyone took a look, they found that there were a few big characters written on it - "Gu Beichuan's Eight-legged Written Talk".
Good guy!
This scene is so familiar.
Why is it exactly the same as when my mentor took out "Gu Beichuan's Poems on Sound, Rhythm, Rhythm and Writing" a few days ago?
Shen Liangfu stepped forward, took the book, opened it and started reading.
After a while, a look of astonishment appeared on his fat face.
"This book...this book is amazing!"
When everyone saw this, they gathered around and watched together.
After a long time, they all clicked their tongues.
"It's really incredible that you can still solve problems like this."
"This solution is mind-blowing, mind-blowing!"
"This book is a rare treasure, a rare treasure!"
Gu Beichuan couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
He knew what he had done. This move was equivalent to applying Hengshui's educational experience to the time when the college entrance examination had just resumed. The impact it created was absolutely unparalleled.
"Recite this book carefully and don't slack off. Do you know?"
“It’s easy to save money, I’ll save it later!”
"Well, remember to understand it thoroughly and speed up. After a while, I still have something to teach you."
Hearing this, all the disciples looked at each other in disbelief.
There are three subjects in the imperial examination, eight-legged essay, poetry, and classics, also called policy theory.
Nowadays, the teacher teaches the most difficult eight-part essay, and also teaches the most difficult poems and essays that test one's talent.
Is it possible that this strategy can also teach a thing or two?
"It's unlikely." Someone murmured.
In fact, it's not that they don't trust Gu Beichuan, but that this policy focuses on giving suggestions for the problems the court is encountering today.
What matters is adaptability and having a strategy in mind.
There are so many schools and academies outside. I have seen people teaching stereotypes and poetry, but I have never seen people teaching policy theory.
This is why.
In the eyes of the students, no matter how powerful the teacher is, he can't teach policy, right?
Gu Beichuan could guess what they were thinking, but he didn't point it out. He just smiled without showing his teeth.
Then he put down the book and said, "You should study hard here and go out to do some things for the teacher."
After changing into warmer clothes, Gu Beichuan went out and went straight to Nanshan Workshop.
This time it was because the brick kiln was finally built and the bricks were fired and the quality was pretty good.
It's just that this progress is a bit slow compared to other departments.
Not long after, Gu Beichuan arrived at the scene, weighed the fired bricks a few times, nodded, and said, "It's really good."
"Everyone will get a 20% salary increase."
Hearing this, Boss Qin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He, Sun Zhuang, Li Laoer, and Aunt Zhang are all ministers of the four major departments.
The other three departments have all made some achievements, and their monthly income has also increased.
Only their brick kiln department was left. After studying it for so long, they failed to produce a single brick.
There is so much pressure in my heart.
Fortunately, a group of people worked hard day and night.
He even set up a tent near the brick kiln and slept there.
Emperor Tian pays off his conscientious people!
With their efforts, they finally fired the first brick without cracks!
Then I got back on track and got better and better.
Until today, the quality of the fired bricks was already very good, so they dared to show it to Gu Beichuan.
The employees' desire for a wage increase was also met.
However, just when everyone was satisfied, they heard Gu Beichuan say: "However, it is not enough."
"Ah, Mr. Gu, but our bricks are not fired well enough? Please point out what is wrong with us, and we will study it again when we go back, and we will definitely improve it."
But who knows, after hearing these words, Gu Beichuan still shook his head and said: "It's not that the bricks are not burned well enough, but that bricks alone are useless."
"I still need you to make something, called cement."
"Cement?" Boss Qin frowned when he heard this.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to do it, but it’s something that is completely unheard of and unseen. How can he do it?
“If it is done, everyone’s salary will be increased by another 30%.”
boom!
After hearing this, Boss Qin immediately smiled and said, "No problem! Don't worry, boss, our Brick Kiln Department will definitely make this cement for you."
"Well, I can only tell you that cement is made by mixing limestone, clay, and iron ore powder in a certain proportion, and then adding water to mix it."
"As for the specific ratio, you still need to test it again and again."
"If possible, it's best to do it as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, boss, we guys will definitely work hard!"
Hearing this, the surrounding brick kiln employees immediately nodded in agreement.
After all, if it can be done, it will be another 30% salary increase!
These days, who would dislike having too much money?
"It's just that I don't know something." Boss Qin hesitated.
"What's the matter?"
"What is limestone?"
"It's just a kind of ore. You don't have to worry about the raw materials. I will ask Uncle Fu to transport it to the workshop, and you can just be responsible for testing it."
"Save it."
Gu Beichuan looked at the sky, already starting to worry in his heart.
The bookstore channel has been laid out and the brick kiln has been built.
Next, we just wait for spring to arrive.
If Feihong can successfully swallow up the more than ten merchants who made the bet at the beginning, he will become a real business oligarch in Jianghuai County and control the economic lifeline of the two counties!
