The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Holding the pen in his hand, Sheng Yuan looked at the rice paper on the desk in front of him, and fell silent thoughtfully.

Obviously, the influence of her brother's small classroom is still continuing.

But she is not the only one who has this side effect. At this moment, An Yu and Lu Sheng are just like her, with their thoughts flying and thinking frequently.

"After the aristocratic family in Luo'an has tasted the sweetness, they naturally want to change the short-term lease to a long-term lease. It is best for them to have the permanent use right. As for the food tax paid for the farmers, it is just a trivial matter to them. It takes some means to reduce the cost; it would be great if there is a small drought and a small flood, they can completely ignore the income, and only need to pay the farmers the old grain and copper coins that are barely enough to eat, and they can gain the gratitude and gratitude of the other party. In addition to doubling the income, take advantage of the trend to clear out the old grain."

Sheng Yuan's own brother's words still echoed in Sheng Yuan's mind: "Of course, magistrates have to maintain a balance, it's not easy to see one party getting dizzy with high spirits, while the other party is still dazed and grateful.

At this time, it is only necessary to disclose the opaque accounts, the urgency of survival, the desire of children and grandchildren to study, the extravagant desire to change the family... and the partiality shown by the court and the law are enough to make the peasants muster up their courage and protest against the aristocratic gentry .

In the end, the land still has to be rented out. After all, with the help of the imperial decree, the nobles of the aristocratic family dare not blatantly tear up the contract. As long as the other party does not tear up the contract, the grain and tax money that the farmers have to pay will have a guarantee. Having a guarantee means that they not only There is no need to worry about paying taxes, and you can save money for your children to study for the imperial examination while having enough food and clothing.As long as children can read and write, even if they miss the scientific examination, they can develop differently.

Although it seems that there is no change in the end, in fact, emotions such as contradictions, vigilance, and distrust permeate the two.

These unfriendly emotions, in the eyes of the aristocratic family, are ungrateful, greedy, ignorant, and unteachable.

But in the eyes of local officials, this is a very good means of supervision, balance and management. "

Thinking of this, Sheng Yuan couldn't help raising his head, and looked at the elder brother who was fighting left and right on the chessboard in front of him: "The so-called balance is just playing with people's hearts, but there is an old saying that those who play with people's hearts will be played by people's hearts."

"Well, I remember that you are very good at martial arts, and your sword skills are also superb, but you don't just swing your fists and swords at anyone you catch, why is that?"

Sheng Xin was still very patient with his sister, and when he heard the question, he put down the chess pieces and asked with a smile.

"..."

Although Sheng Yuan felt that the elder brother's example was not suitable enough, she had to say that she understood after he said that.

"It's like learning, you not only need to know what it is, but also know why it is." Seeing that the three people who had been reluctant to write down their experiences have all looked over, Sheng Xin simply continued to laugh and said, "Facing the knowledge of official career , what you have to do is the same!
Remember, knowing people's hearts will not be teased by people's hearts, only those who think they are smart will be mistaken for being smart. "

Perhaps because he said that he didn’t feel vivid enough, Sheng Xin picked up the chess record at hand, held it up and shook his arms: “It’s like the chess game decomposition here, you understand these, and with your extensive knowledge, you can predict the enemy’s actions Before.

If you can see through people's hearts, you will find that most of the calculations are nothing more than loud plots to you, and everything is under control. "

When Sheng Xin mentioned this, he could not help but warn with earnestness: "Only those who know people can employ people, and only those who know how to employ people can go far in the long run.

You must know that knowing people and making good use of them is not only about understanding the talents of the other person, but also knowing the character, ability, temperament, etc. of the person you want to use, so that you can determine whether they are suitable for a specific position at a specific time and a specific place.This is the control of people's hearts, control, not the same as playing. "

In the end, Sheng Xin specially emphasized the difference between the two.

"Okay, I've said enough. Next is the time for me to play chess alone. You can't be villains when you watch chess and don't say anything!" Sheng Xin saw that An Yu had one head and two big heads. The way he couldn't sit still was about to affect Sister Yuan, so he stopped talking immediately, and let the three of them write down their learning experience, and then immersed themselves in analyzing the chess game.

Seeing this, the three of Sheng Yuan looked at each other, nodded their heads, scratched their ears and scratched their cheeks, and thoughtfully thoughtfully.

Of course, it didn't take long for the three of them to write the titles of their articles on rice paper:

"On the Characteristics of Transformation from Excessive Expropriation to Stealth and Abduction""

""On the sustainable method of supporting frontier military supplies with the wealth of the family""

"My Opinions on the Reasonable Long-term Lease of Land Use Rights of Foreign Nationalities""

……

Don't look at the three of Shengyuan who want to grab the ground with their heads when they are thinking about the topic, but after starting to start, especially after writing the first paragraph, these three began to write with flying wrists, wishing they could speak a thousand words and express their thoughts and ideas. Feelings expressed clearly on paper.

The more they write, the more they devote themselves to it, and the more they write, the more inspiration they get. Gradually, the three of them are immersed in a world of selflessness.

All of a sudden, only the breathing of a few people remained in the originally lively study room.

Soon, Sheng Xin, who was immersed in the chess game, couldn't help but look up.

Yo? !These three are very emotional!

Thinking of this, the corners of Sheng Xin's mouth curled up, and he returned to the chessboard battle with satisfaction.

……

"If you want to win talents from all over the world, you must select them in the Talent Ceremony; if you want to make them safe in the world, you must cultivate them well."

The three of Sheng Yuan sat in a row and looked forward, listening to the gentle voice of Mr. Jiang Wuyang, who was invited by the eldest brother Sheng Xin.

Because the three of them are going to take part in the next township examination, Mr. Jiang said in a leisurely manner after a little understanding of their study progress and test results: "If you want to bring the world's most talented leaders into the imperial court, you must teach and raise them." , so that their talents match their duties; let the talents of prime ministers come out of it, and let famous and virtuous officials come out of it."

"..." An Yu wanted to doze off when he heard it, and he tried not to look at his friend from the corner of his eye, but what this gentleman said really helped sleep!

"Sir." Seeing that Mr. Jiang stopped after speaking, Sheng Yuan immediately seized the opportunity to raise his hand to ask, "You said, is this the hall selection after the palace examination?"

Jiang Wuyang didn't dislike students asking questions, but when he saw Sheng Yuan like this, he liked it even more: "That's right, these words are what I heard from the prime minister at the Imperial Academy."

"It's just that the selection of the library is also an examination, which is no different from your participation in the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination. Those who pass the test will naturally have a bright future; those who fail, I'm afraid that the road to official career may be more difficult."

Mr. Jiang nodded gently at the three of them: "What's more, the requirements of the rural examination papers are not comparable to those of the dozens of children's examinations... Since you have to participate in the library selection sooner or later, why not raise the requirements and move towards high standards?" Target departure?"

Raise the bar? !

Sheng Yuan blinked, and felt that this gentleman was probably a talented player, and he probably thought that he could succeed in these exams if he had hands and brains.

This gentleman didn't even consider that the three consecutive exams of the hometown exam, the general exam, and the hall exam are promotion exams for ordinary students, but the subjects selected by the library are a group of successful people on the way to the imperial examination. This is different!
