See you in the world

The first ray of sunlight rose in the sky, and the vigorous bell rang through the examination room, indicating that the examination room was closed, and those who could enter the examination room in the future would miss the imperial examination.

Fortunately, the students all knew the importance of the imperial examination, and queued up early to enter the examination room, and no one was absent.

All candidates enter the examination room. From this moment until the end of the examination, they are not allowed to set foot in the examination room.

Every ten meters outside the examination room was guarded by a soldier with apathetic expression. Any attempt to obstruct the imperial examination would be ruthlessly suppressed.

The examiners have already thought that because the number of imperial examination students is more than [-], there are also a lot of examiners, hundreds of them. They will be with the candidates during the next three days of the exam, and they will also patrol the exam room from time to time.

As for whether the hundred or ten examiners can strengthen such a huge examination room, it is naturally possible. It should be noted that none of these examiners is lower than the late innate cultivation base, and it will not take much time to walk around the entire examination room to perform lightness kung fu.

There is a high platform at the front of the examination room, which is enough for the examiner to have a panoramic view of the examination room.

Because the examination rooms are all facing the high platform, the students can see the examiners. Many people have expectations and longing in their eyes. Now they are candidates, but after this imperial examination, once they are on the list, they may also be the examiners in the future one of the.

For most students, the imperial examination is an opportunity to change their destiny. If they advance, they will be worshiped in the imperial court, and if they retreat, they will be lost after many years of hard work. They have to fight again next time.

Among the examiners, His Royal Highness Xia Tao was the most eye-catching one. He was wearing a golden robe with fiery red rosebird patterns embroidered on it. This kind of clothing is exquisite.

Dali regards Li as the name of the country, and Li as fire, so Dali is the country of fire virtue, and the crown prince cannot wear dragon robes, so the Suzaku suit is what he should wear.

As the prince, Xia Tao is the focus of the audience, and his every move attracts attention. After all, if there is no accident, he will be the next monarch of Dali, and everyone will be his subjects by then.

He is unsmiling, whether it is because of the royal etiquette or because of the change of status, the majesty that is not angry and majestic is getting stronger day by day.

Candidates in public are the last, because many candidates are participating in the Jinshi imperial examination for the first time, so some examiners stand up to announce the order of the examination room, which is nothing more than some rules not to disturb the examination room and cheat. It is a commonplace, and the punishment is extremely severe. Listen So many candidates dare not give birth to the slightest chance.

However, the imperial court is not so unkind. If someone voluntarily gives up the imperial examination or even suddenly suffers from a serious illness, they can say hello and leave without disturbing the examination room, but then the imperial examination will have nothing to do with him.

After explaining all the rules clearly, His Royal Highness Xia Tao looked at the examination room and said loudly: "Praise the sages, civilized and youthful pens and inks are fragrant, I hope you can write beautiful articles, and those who are on the list will be rewarded after ten years of hard work. Distribute the examination papers and start the examination !"

Dangdang~
After his words fell, three bells rang in succession, and the imperial examination officially started, and many ox carts slowly drove in and began to distribute the examination papers.

What I have to mention is that in the entire examination room, except for the examinees and examiners, the guarding soldiers and the personnel who ordered the examination papers were all illiterate, which minimized the possibility of fraud, and even prohibited these people from entering the imperial examination. Contact anyone. …

The Jinshi Examination is different from the previous exams. It no longer tests the basics, but the ability to govern the country, so rote memorization is of little use in the Jinshi Examination.

For the same topic, more than [-] candidates have to write flowers to stand out and compete for [-] Jinshi places. It is conceivable that it is very difficult.

After Yunjing entered the examination room, he first carefully inspected the Four Treasures of the Study that had been prepared in the examination room, so as to avoid any defective products affecting the examination. If they were found early, they could be replaced in time. Fortunately, such a situation did not happen.

The Four Treasures of Study provided by the imperial court are naturally not good things. The most common ones on the market can be regarded as inferior. Using such Four Treasures of Study to write imperial examinations is also a test of candidates’ skills in a sense. I'm afraid I'm not used to it or even can't play to my own level.

It doesn't matter to Yunjing, no matter how bad things are, it doesn't affect his performance. Take the brush, as long as it has hair, it's fine, even if it doesn't have hair, it's not a big problem...

While waiting quietly, he got his exam paper and a stack of writing paper with a hundred sheets soon after.

When he got the test paper, the corner of his mouth twitched even though he was in the Mythical Realm, and he read it carefully several times. Are you sure it's not targeting me?
If the test papers of all candidates were not the same, he would probably find an opportunity afterwards to ask the person who gave the test questions what you mean.

Because the Jinshi test does not test those bells and whistles and basic things, there are very few test questions, as few as two test questions.

The first test question is to ask candidates to write a poem!

There are no hard requirements for what kind of poems to write. Candidates can write whatever they want, as long as it is original, and there are no rules for five or seven words.

However, as we all know, Yunjing, who is in the mythical realm, is really not flattered by his poetic talent. Even his master Li Qiu said more than once that it would be great if Yunjing's other talents could be shared in poetry.

Yun Jing is really not good at composing poems. If you don't have that talent, you don't have it. It doesn't matter how good your cultivation is.

"So it's not aimed at me?" Yun Jing couldn't laugh or cry, he almost felt bad all over.

It's not that you can't test poetry during the Jinshi examination, but that there are too few, too few. In the entire Dali Dynasty, which has more than 800 years of history, the number of times that Jinshi has tested poetry talent can be counted on the fingers. I only did this if I liked poetry and articles, and I haven’t taken a poetry test in more than 100 years.

When I was co-authoring the Jinshi examination, I took the poetry test. How could there be such a coincidence, Yun Jing was speechless.

The examination room was quiet, but for many candidates who were trespassing in poetry, they were almost overjoyed. Isn't this giving themselves points, but fortunately, they are still restrained.

Of course, every examinee knows that this imperial examination of poetry is actually just an addition, and has little impact on the overall imperial examination results. It can even be said to be dispensable. If it doesn't work, it's still not on the list.

"The subject matter is not limited, free play, tsk, I seriously suspect that it is Huang Lao's bad taste", my heart is beating, Yun Jing is not so entangled, let's put this test question aside, I am not good at this aspect, why waste it time?Solve the other question and think about it again. It is really impossible to teach a blank paper for the question of poetry, and it will not have much impact anyway. …

From the beginning to the end, Yun Jing never copied a famous poem from his previous life in his memory. He couldn't lie to himself if it wasn't his own. This was one of his bottom lines.

Sincerity is the most important thing in being a human being, what is the point of lying to yourself?
Then comes the highlight, the second question that determines the success or failure of the imperial examination.

There is only one sentence in the title, "The home of Tubi, people are safe, enough to keep warm, the home of wealth, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, there is not enough, and troubles are always there"

This sentence is the topic of this Jinshi examination. Its meaning can be understood by anyone who is not a fool. It probably means that even if the family is poor, as long as the person is safe and healthy, and the food and clothing can be continued, then one is content, and the rich The family is already rich, and it is full of children and grandchildren, but it is not satisfied, and it is often accompanied by troubles.

The topic is just one sentence, without any other rules. Candidates are required to write an article based on this sentence to display their talents and skills. As for whether they can write well and stand out among more than [-] candidates, it depends on their own talents.

The topic is easy to understand, and it is not difficult to write an article when it is extended. The difficulty is to write well.

When he saw this question, Yunjing said in his heart that it was true. At the beginning of the year, he guessed that the imperial examination questions would definitely not avoid the late Deng Changchun, and now he is not bad.

The source of this sentence is a book called "Little Grass Residence", which was written by Deng Changchun more than 100 years ago. It is very in-depth to explain all aspects of the gap between the wealth of the people.

It can be said that this book has been read by all the candidates who took the Jinshi examination. After all, this book was still a classic left by the living master a year ago. If one day meets the master, you can’t ask three questions about the master’s works, right? .

After reading the test questions carefully, Yun Jing didn't start writing rashly, but closed his eyes slightly and began to draft. He didn't try to speculate whether the person who wrote the question was remembering Deng Fuzi. If you deliberately welcome it, you will fall into the inferior vehicle. If you write an article praising Master Deng in this way, it is estimated that the reviewers will not wait to take a second look.

It should be noted that standing at the height of a master, you look at the people of the world, and you care about the inheritance of civilization. If you deliberately sing praises, the master may come alive and beat you up.

Yunjing had a lot of ideas when his thoughts flickered. It would be a bit petty to write an article about the various states of beings according to the topic, and an article about the human heart and human nature would be a little bit meaningless.

Various ideas kept appearing, and he eliminated them one by one. Gradually, he came up with ideas. He still didn't rush to start writing, but perfected the draft according to his own ideas.

Many students in the examination room had already begun to write hard, but Yun Jing was not in a hurry for success.

He spent the whole morning thinking about the manuscript, and he didn't start writing when the first meal was being distributed in the examination room.

Naturally, the meals distributed by the imperial court could not be any delicacies. Two steamed buns, a piece of oil cake, plus a dish of side dishes and a bowl of soup, it cannot be said to be unpalatable, it can only be said that it is a bit difficult to swallow.

The staff who distributed the food moved slowly, almost silently. This was to avoid disturbing the examinee's thinking, so he put down the food and went to the next place. As for the tableware, put it aside after eating, and it will be used next time when the food is distributed. Someone took it away. …

Yun Jing didn't waste food, he ate it all without rushing, no matter how difficult it was to swallow, he ate it with relish, he lived a hard life, back then it was hard for his family to eat enough, he couldn't think of it as delicious .

After eating, put the tableware aside, and then began to grind the ink. After finishing, he spread out a piece of paper and started writing the article. It was just a first draft, and he was not in a hurry. He stopped to think from time to time during the writing process.

Regarding this article, Yunjing started with the contentment of the bottom-level people, and explained that life is not easy. In many cases, it is a luxury to just have enough food and clothing.

The life of the people at the bottom still has the right to speak. He was born in a poor family. There was a heavy snow in winter, and his thatched hut was crushed by heavy snow. Those who have lived will know.

After it is not easy to be disappointed with the food and clothing at the bottom, he explained a little bit about the dissatisfaction of the rich and the rich, the greed of human nature is never-ending, and he wishes to take all the benefits of the world.

Poverty and wealth, two attitudes towards life, and the comparison between the two are immediately highlighted.

Of course, this is just the beginning, and it can even be said that it is just an extension of the topic, and it has not even started the main topic. It just uses this contradiction as a starting point to extend the next topic.

The opening cloud scene only uses less than a hundred words to describe it.

Then the content took a turn for the worse. In the article, he used a questioning tone to ask, whether it is the poor people’s extravagant demands for food and clothing, or the rich and the rich’s unsatisfactory pursuits, what kind of circumstances would they pursue these things?
The answer is that these things will only be pursued when the environment is stable!

This question and answer is the core point of Yunjing's article.

No matter whether you are poor or rich, people have pursuits, and there is nothing wrong with that, but if the environment is unstable and your life is almost gone, how can you have the mood to think about those things?
People only have pursuits when they are alive.

The most basic condition for survival is the stability of the family and country.

There is a family only when there is a country, the country is in turmoil, wars are constantly going on, the people are in dire straits, and even the most basic conditions for survival are gone, so what is the pursuit?
After clarifying the core points of the article, Yunjing began to elaborate on various aspects around the height of the stability of the family and the country.

The family and the country want stability, the country is rich and the people are strong. When the country is strong, it will naturally not be bullied. Otherwise, everything is empty talk. Weakness is the original sin. Weakness will be beaten. You will not let others do what you want.

If the country is rich and the people are strong and they are not bullied, they will have more energy and resources to improve people's livelihood, which fits the theme. Only in a peaceful and stable situation can people, whether they are poor or rich, pursue what they want.

Yunjing in the article is not exaggerating, he still put forward his own point of view on how to make the country rich and the people strong.

The first is wealth. He expounded his views from three aspects. Food is the basic security. It is necessary to vigorously support farming. Based on the experience of the country, it is necessary for the country to specially train some talents in this field, so that they can specialize in farming, even if they can’t get results in a short time, as long as someone researches the increase in food production, it will be a huge contribution that will benefit the entire country and even the people, followed by trade. No matter whether it is goods or money, its value can only be reflected when it is in circulation, otherwise those things will only look good. Money, I want to take a woman who can’t afford money as a gift, and Li Si has ten taels of silver, but his family’s food has bottomed out, so Li Si used the money to buy Zhang San’s food, Li Si had food to eat, Zhang Three also has money to marry a wife. Both sides have benefited in this process, and the country has also obtained tax revenue, money and goods circulation, which reflects the importance of trade. In a general direction, the progress of trade is The entire country’s economy has come to life, rather than a pool of stagnant water, and then there is the third aspect, that is, having food security and trade circulation is not enough to reflect the country’s prosperity. It needs to go further and go abroad to communicate with other countries. Exchange, find a way to trade back things that do not exist in the country and can improve national strength, so that not only can wealth be generated, but national strength can also be enhanced...

Yunjing has put a lot of effort into describing the aspect of abundance, trying to be reasonable in what it says, rather than just talking about it on paper.

Then there is the strength of the country.

No matter how rich the country is, it is of course a good thing, but richness alone is not enough, it is a very dangerous thing, if there is no strong strength to protect, wealth is nothing but a fat pig at best, only strong strength can guarantee the stability and wealth of the country.

How to make a country strong?In this regard, Yunjing also uses several points of view to describe it. The first is the army. The army is one of the basic conditions to protect the country from being bullied. Yunjing makes suggestions from the aspects of discipline, armament, and tactics. Good discipline can enable the army to do a good job. As far as orders and prohibitions are concerned, armaments can enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, and tactics play a vital role. Regarding the tactics, Yunjing also used the example of the tactic of "strike the east and attack the west" in the Four Kingdoms War a few years ago. At that time, General Qin thought that this tactic was " Eat up the hundreds of thousands of reinforcements sent by the Sangluo Dynasty and the Golden Wolf Dynasty to support the Dajiang Dynasty, so Yunjing suggested in the article that the country should train more talents who study tactics, and then it is about the cultivation of talents in all aspects. He compares a country to a person. The strength of the army is just to make people's fists more beneficial, and the cultivation of talents is the brain of this person. In many cases, having fists is useless, and a useless mind will only be played around by others. So The cultivation of talents in all aspects is also the top priority. When the country has a strong fist and a smart brain, it will be strong from the inside out.

When the country is rich and the people are strong, they are not bullied, and the general environment is stable. Whether they are poor or rich, they are in the mood to pursue what they want.

Yunjing's article has always been carried out around the topic, and it is useless to go astray and let yourself go.

But this is not over yet, but when writing here, Yun Jing's pen stopped, a little hesitant to write out the thoughts in his heart.

He also just hesitated for a moment, thinking why not be bolder?So he went on to write.

The following content, Yunjing still revolves around the core of the article, that is, a stable environment that meets the pursuit of the poor and the rich.

After all, this is a world of great power, and a mythical realm can support a country. Therefore, Yunjing took the current Dajiang Dynasty as an example. After their country had no mythological masters in charge, the entire country seemed to be stripped of its spine. Liang Gu, under the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Third Prince, there was no decent resistance, and they retreated steadily. Is the Dajiang Dynasty really so unbearable?No, it's just because that country lacks the most basic confidence, and the source of confidence is the powerhouse in the mythical realm.

It is conceivable how meaningful the existence of the mythical realm is.

But the problem is that the Mythical Realm doesn’t appear out of thin air. A country’s billions of people don’t necessarily produce one in a hundred years. So is there a way to increase the probability of the Mythical Realm appearing?

Then Yunjing proposed the popularization of education. Regarding the popularization of education, he expounded in a targeted manner. At present, whether it is a country or a sect, they are all "implicit". Others have surpassed themselves, so everyone hides good things, how can others grow? …

Yun Jing gave an example, taking scholars as an example, it is extremely difficult for the people at the bottom to study. Yun Jing once had a deep understanding. If he hadn't met his master Li Qiu, he wouldn't even be able to guarantee that he could become a "scholar" '.

Then, if everyone has the opportunity to study, more talents will be born from the huge base, and if the precious secret books and classics are passed on, there will definitely be more powerful people.

When the base number is sufficient, the probability of birth of a strong person will be greater. In this way, the birth of a mythical strong person will surely exceed the past.

The mythical realm is not immortal. When the old man dies, there will be a successor, and this will be the foundation of a country's permanent security. This is called inheritance.

Yunjing used this to explain the importance of the popularization of 'education'. Going back to the beginning of this topic, he used the current situation of the Dajiang Dynasty myth to illustrate the importance of this aspect.

When writing this part, the reason why Yunjing hesitated for a while was because scholars in this era are of a special level. When education is popularized, although it is a good thing for the country, it shakes the cake of the level of "scholars". How can they be happy if they can read and sit on an equal footing with them?
Therefore, this view can be described as subversive, which is why Yunjing hesitated.

But he still wrote it out, and now standing at his height, he can speak freely without having to worry about other things. Before that, he would not have dared to write such content, and would be targeted by scholars all over the world.

In the end, he concluded the article with "the country has something to rely on, is rich and strong, the family and the country are stable, the people have hope, the people have desires, and the civilization has been inherited".

The topic is just that the common people are satisfied with food and clothing and the rich are not satisfied, but Yunjing's article has risen to the height of the country's stability and prosperity, and the words have not deviated from the topic.

Although there are subversive contents in it, the whole has guiding benefits for the future of the entire country.

It took Yunjing a whole day to finish writing this article, and he forgot the time when he wrote it. He didn't even bother to eat lunch and afternoon meal. It was already dark, and the examination room was lit with lights.

After finishing the first draft, Yunjing put down his brush, ate the cold food and began to rest.

Early the next morning, he began to revise this article of his, tirelessly over and over again, until nothing could be changed.

During the revision process, he also made appropriate adjustments to some inappropriate words and sentences, especially in terms of education and popularization, he made the revisions relatively tactfully, not as extreme as at the beginning, and even added some suggestions for trial implementation, which achieved results Then slowly spread it out, like boiling frogs in warm water, so that the world will have a process of acceptance, so that it will not be confronted by different classes as soon as it comes up.

It took Yunjing a whole day to revise the article, and he didn't finish copying the final draft until he got up early in the morning of the third day.

Yunjing didn't think too much about whether the article was good or not, it had already been finalized, and he also tried his best, what kind of results he could get in the end was up to the examiners to judge.

Putting the finished article aside, while there was still half a day left, Yun Jing looked at the first question of the imperial examination.

However, when he saw that the title was a poem, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth again, it's too deceiving!
Poetry writing is my shortcoming, but such a topic just happened to happen. Isn’t this bullying honest people?

But the problem is where the questions are placed, and it will not be a blank paper.

"It's just poetry. Although I'm not good at it, it's not that I can't do it. It's just mediocre. It's just a joke. Well, what kind of poem should I write to end this exam?"

Yun Jing began to look at the examination paper and rubbed his eyebrows in thought.

Tsk, writing poetry, why is it more difficult than facing enemies in the mythical realm...
