Chapter 133

When the time comes to June, Jiangnan has entered the scorching summer season, but for the students of the county school, they have also entered a period of torment.

There is an important exam in June, the county exam, which is equivalent to the graduation exam of the county school. The county exam is usually not too difficult, and it is much simpler than the entrance exam. But if you fail the exam, the consequences are very serious, which means Will lose the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination.

Not everyone can sign up for the solution test. Recommendations are also required. There are usually two ways to make recommendations. One is the recommendation of the county school, and the second is to get two or more recommendations.

To be recommended by the county school, you first need to pass the county exam. This is the biggest threshold. If there is a problem with character, such as being involved in a crime, even if you pass the county exam, the county school will not recommend you to take the exam.

Of course, if you fail the county exam, you can find two candidates to recommend you, but the problem is, if you fail the county exam, who will recommend you?Juren also cherishes his own reputation.

So although the county exam is not difficult, every student attaches great importance to it. Before dawn, there are many students studying hard all over the campus.

"Fan Ning, I heard that you are going to start a cram school again?" Su Liang asked with a smile as soon as he left the dormitory.

"Lu Youwei said it?" Fan Ning could guess where the news came from without even thinking about it.

"this....."

Su Liang hesitated and said, "Don't worry about where it leaked from, just tell me if it's true or not?"

"It's not necessary to open a cram school. I just want to take some time to give them some key points."

"Fan Ning, Duan Yu and I both want to come and listen, you see—"

"Yes!" Fanning readily agreed.

"You won't ask us to call you senior brother too?" Su Liang asked with a smile.

"It depends on your mood."

Fan Ning couldn't help laughing and said, "You guys are willing to be called seniors, and I have no objection."

"Let's talk about it after thinking about it! When and where are you going to make up lessons?"

"I'm still looking for a place. If it doesn't work, I'll mention it to everyone in the dormitory."

The two speeded up, talked and laughed and walked towards the classroom.

. . . . . . .

There are less than three months before the exam is solved. This time is when all the students are most nervous. The four chief professors have begun to take special care of their students and make targeted questions.

Of course, Fan Ning also had to take special care of his six juniors. In fact, he knew very well the content of this year's exam, but it was impossible for him to tell his juniors all four questions.

The solution test is not the county school admissions exam. No one will be held accountable if you hit the county school test questions, but the solution test is different.

The leakage of imperial examination questions has always been a major case. It is not only as simple as disqualification, but may even bring you and your companions to prison.

Fan Ning thought about it repeatedly, and he decided to make a fuss about the countermeasures.

Among the four questions in the solution test, the poem writing question and the silent scripture question are actually meaningless. Most candidates will do well in the test, and more than [-]% of the candidates can't make a difference in these two questions.

The key is the third question, discussion questions. Candidates start to differentiate from the discussion questions, and gradually widen the distance. However, because the score of the discussion questions is not high, it is meaningless to bet on the discussion questions.

However, countermeasure questions accounted for nearly half of the score. Whether you can pass the exam is mainly reflected in the level of countermeasure questions.

If you don't answer the countermeasure question well, it doesn't make sense to do well on the other three questions.

Fan Ning was in his own dormitory to make up lessons for everyone. He moved the tables, chairs and screens away to make a big space.

The reason why we need to talk about the countermeasures more than two months in advance is that the countermeasures need to be combined with reality, and it takes a lot of time to prepare.

Everyone sat casually, some sat on the bed, some moved some chairs and sat down, Mingren and Mingli simply sat cross-legged on the ground.

Fan Ning stood in front of a small table and said to everyone calmly:
"There are less than three months until the solution test. In the past two years, I have been paying attention to everyone's results. It should be said that everyone has made great progress.

However, the examination is not a county school examination after all. Nearly 3000 candidates in Pingjiang Prefecture took the examination, and in the end only 50 of them passed the examination, and only one in 60 was admitted.

Besides, there are many excellent ones, and it is not difficult to solve the test itself. The main reason is that the competition is too fierce. Not to mention everyone, even I am not sure that I can pass the test. "

After Fan Ning said this, he looked at everyone's expressions and saw that everyone had complex expressions and a trace of seriousness in their eyes, which was a sign of lack of confidence.

Fan Ning smiled, and continued: "Yesterday Mingren asked me if I could bet on solving the test questions this time. I said that I am not a god, how could I know what the test will be? But when I made up the first day, I said However, everything has its rules, if we can find the rules, maybe we can narrow down the scope a little bit, today I will give you a brief talk about countermeasures.”

Fanning took out a notebook and handed it to everyone for circulation.

"This notebook is the test solution strategy that I have spent half a year sorting out. It is the essence of the four chief professors' ten-year secret lessons. Not every secret lesson has the content. I have compiled a total of twelve secret lessons. Content, such as how to write an argumentative essay, such as how to grasp the center of a countermeasure essay, tips for writing poems, etc.

Another example is the last secret lesson that Zhang Yi taught his disciples three years ago. I think it is very meaningful. "

Fanning turned over the last few pages of the notebook and handed it over to the crowd.

"Zhang Yi has no other skills, but he has unique insights on some test-solving skills. For example, he said that every time before doing a question, it is best to find an excuse to go out for a walk, like an excuse to go to the toilet. It will be open, I think this suggestion is very good, he summed up a total of [-] solution tips, very interesting, you can take a look."

Fan Ning's notes were in Su Liang's hands, and everyone rushed forward to look at the contents of the notes. Ming Ren sighed: "This is a good thing! You can't buy it with fifty pennies."

"It's estimated to make a lot of money!" Ming Li was equally amazed.

"This notebook is about [-] words. Everyone will copy a copy later, but I want to warn some people, don't try to use it to make money. If the content of my lectures is leaked, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people!"

Speaking of this, Fan Ning gave Ming Ren and Ming Li a stern look.

"You can't even make a joke?" Mingren muttered in a low voice.

"That's right, liven up the atmosphere!" Ming Li also added in a low voice.

Fan Ning ignored the two of them, and continued: "The last test solution question was "On the Benefits of the Jiangnan Canal", but this time I personally think that the solution test questions will focus on "Encouraging Farmers", everyone go back We must prepare the information in this regard, and then go to Pingjiang Mansion to find out.”

Duan Yu raised his hand and asked in puzzlement, "Why do seniors think that the examination is persuading farmers?"

Fan Ning shook his head and smiled, "This is just my personal bet. I don't want to say more about the basis for the bet. Of course, everyone can't just prepare for my question, but also think about it. But since everyone calls me senior brother, as a Brother, I am also obliged to help you make bets."

"Brother, isn't it too early to make a bet?"

Su Liang also raised his hand and said, "As far as I know, it's usually ten days before the exam, the last secret class, and the chief professor will give the students some questions, but there are still about three months."

Su Liang said it very implicitly, this is because the chief examiners of the examination are appointed by different states, and usually the imperial court will not appoint the chief examiners of each state capital until half a month before the exam.

For example, the chief examiner of the Pingjiang Mansion Examination three years ago was Wang Lan, the instructor of Yangzhou State School, and he secretly came to the Pingjiang Mansion Examination Institute to take up the post until ten days before the test.

At this time, the chief professors of the county school will get some information through their own channels, and then judge the scope of the examiner's questions based on the examiner's preferences and daily words and deeds.

And now there are still three months before the exam, and it is impossible to know who the examiner will be. Fan Ning actually started betting on the questions. To put it bluntly, Fan Ning's betting on the questions has no basis.

Of course, Fan Ning knew that the appointment of the chief examiner was only half a month before the exam, and it was a bit difficult for him to bet on the question now to convince people.

But the problem is that the countermeasure questions are about students' thinking about national events and the economy and people's livelihood. If the questions are written half a month before the exam, students will have no time to investigate and practice.

For example, nine years ago, the Pingjiang government's solution to the examination question was "On the Gains and Losses of the Official Tea Law", which confused most of the examinees. How many people understand the "Official Tea Law"?

Another example is that the question for the imperial examination three years ago was "On the Benefits of the Jiangnan Canal". Zhang Yi obtained the question three days in advance through his brother's channel, and gave it to dozens of his disciples on the condition that each person received [-] guan. The topic was leaked.

But what about the result?Three days was too late to understand the situation of the canal, so it was meaningless for the students to get the questions in advance, and none of his disciples were admitted to Juren.

Therefore, even though Fan Ning knew that the content of the solution to the test questions was "Encouraging Farmers", he still had to tell everyone early so that everyone could prepare early.

Fan Ning smiled and said: "When I chatted with the county magistrate Wang, I learned that in the past two years, the imperial court has very strict requirements on the evaluation of officials in terms of persuading farmers, which is far more than before, so my intuition tells me that this year's test solution questions It has something to do with persuading farmers."

Fan Ning saw a look of disapproval in Duan Yu's eyes, and said lightly: "I didn't ask everyone to accept my judgment. This is completely voluntary, and I will not force everyone."
