Chapter 32 Will Be Ling Jueding

(Please collect, please recommend tickets!)

Xie Shen frowned.Although he was unhappy, he seemed to have no better choice.

Taking out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Xie Shen began to close his eyes and meditate.

There should be some time before the exam starts. If you can use this time to take a nap, it will be very helpful for you to calm down and improve your concentration.

This is the benefit of entering the test shed early.Candidates who came late did not even sit down, and the exam questions were handed out.It is conceivable that many candidates must be in a hurry, and those who are not in a good mood may faint directly.

Although there were hundreds of candidates in the county examination, in Xie Shen's view, this was nothing at all.

What you get in the exam is the mentality. If the mentality collapses, what are you talking about.

After waiting for half a stick of incense, the noise gradually faded away.Xie Shen heard the crisp sound of clappers, followed by the singing and drinking of officials.

"You are Xie Shen?"

Hearing the sound, the boy opened his eyes, and saw a young official with a mustache staring at him while holding the exam questions.

"The student is Xie Shen."

"Well, this is the title. After finishing writing, put it on the small table on the right side of the dormitory, and wait for me to pick it up."

After the little official finished speaking, he continued to post the questions, Xie Shen slowly unfolded the questions, not in a hurry.

There is only one exam today, which is the stereotyped essay, which is also the most important part of this county exam.Although Wu Xianzun in this county admires poetry, it is a small way after all.This dynasty inherited the imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty, and the status of the eight-legged essay was unshakable.

Of course, as far as this county exam is concerned, the last exam is about test post poetry.However, this is the icing on the cake in terms of test scores.

Xie Shenqi opened the test paper and took a closer look. There were only five big characters on the huge rice paper - "There is a way to make money."

This topic is not a metamorphosis, very good.
Xie Shen took a deep breath and began to think about how to solve the problem.

The topic itself is very simple, from "University? Biography Ten Chapters".

After a long period of special training by Confucius, Xie Shen has already mastered the university by heart.

He recited this passage silently in his heart.
"There is a way to make money. Those who live are many, and those who eat are few; those who live for it are sick, and those who use it are comfortable, and the wealth will be sufficient. Lu said: If there are no wanderers in a country, there will be many living; if there is no lucky position in the court, Then there will be few eaters; if you don’t take away the farming season, you will suffer from illness; if you live within your means, you will be able to use them comfortably.”

The meaning of this passage is very simple, that is to say, if you want to be rich in the country, you must first get rich in the people;This is the right way to make money.

Wait, Xie Shen suddenly felt that this passage was very familiar, as if he had read it somewhere.
Although he was a graduate student of history in his previous life, there is no distinction between literature and history, and no one who studies history is inferior to ancient literature.In addition, Xie Shen himself loves stereotyped essays, and has specially read the collections of many famous writers, including many sophisticated stereotyped essays.

It seems that Zhang Juzheng wrote a similar article titled There is a way to make money.

And this question seems to be an exam question in Long Qingchao's general exam. No wonder the examiner likes to make cut-and-turn questions. This is a direct question, and the repetition rate is really quite high.
Xie Shen tried his best to recall the details of the article, and even vaguely memorized them on the draft.

"Those who are good at financial management can get their own way and want to be self-satisfied. It is the way to make money. If you can do this, what is the difference between the country and the people? If you gather people and say wealth, the country has no wealth. The country is bad; wealth management is called righteousness, wealth is not righteousness, and it is not about wealth. But if there is a country, how can it be that the wealth can be gathered?"

Xie Shen recalled this stereotyped essay written by Zhang Juzheng in detail. Although there were inevitably omissions and forgetting, Xie Shen silently memorized the essence of it on paper.

After the special training of Confucius, even if he writes articles by himself, he can reach an upper-middle level.But since there are great articles that can be used directly, Xie Shen naturally doesn't want to take risks.The head of the county examination is very important. If you want to go more smoothly in the future imperial examination, this first step must be done well!
After a little polishing and adding some embellishing language, Xie Shen wrote a piece of Shiwen that was out of the bone of Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Jiangling on paper.

However, the time Xie Shen spent from reading the questions to writing the manuscript was too short, and it is too conspicuous to hand in the paper now.Therefore, he decided to pick out the minor flaws in the article, at least he could re-transcribe it again to make the words look better.

Xie Shen has been practicing calligraphy hard these days, and his hand in small script is indeed extremely handsome.

After another round of transcribing, Xie Shen finally let out a sigh of satisfaction.Words are the face of a person, especially in the Ming Dynasty.Many candidates write very well, but they are directly discarded by the examiner because of their scribbled handwriting.

Xie Shen will never let him deduct points for this kind of place that can add points!
After grinding for another half an hour, guessing that it was almost done, Xie Shen folded the exam paper and put it on the small table in his right hand.

With nothing to do, Xie Shen simply continued to take a nap.

If the students in the dormitory next to them, whose heads were soaked in sweat and exam papers, saw this situation, they would have to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

They are all students, why is there such a big gap between people?
After half a stick of incense, the inspector took away Xie Shen's test paper.

Although he was a little surprised at Xie Shen's writing speed, but Yuyao is a strong county in the imperial examination, there are always child prodigies appearing, so the little official didn't think much about it after being surprised, just thought that there was another child prodigy in this county.

After answering the questions and handing in the papers, you can't leave immediately. You have to wait for the exam time to leave.

Xie Shen simply took out a piece of naan that Shui Yun specially baked for him, and he took a small bite with great care, only to feel that the whole mouth was overflowing with aroma.

Finally, when the exam was over, Xie Shen walked slowly along the path in front of the exam shed with the crowd.Walking in front of the main hall of the county school, Xie Shen glanced at the portrait of the most holy Confucius through the crowded heads, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

Countless scholars have devoted themselves to careers, but how many people can really jump into the dragon's gate to serve the court?

After leaving the county school, Xie Shen was walking alone when he heard someone calling him behind him.

"Brother Shenxian, how did you do in the exam. This question is easy, but it's not easy to solve it. I hurried and finally finished the article before the little official knocked on the clapper. I guess I should be able to pass."

Wang Shouwen was obviously in a good mood.

"Don't be proud, it's better to read the books first, there are still several big tests in the future."

For Wang Shouwen, Xie Shen was not at ease.This gentleman is a typical bottle of dissatisfaction, half bottle dangling.If he is lucky, he may pass the county test.But if you are unlucky, it is hard to say that the halberd will sink into the sand.

Xie Pi nodded and said, "That's right, brother Shouwen should review his books more, at least he still needs to prepare the test post poems at the end."
