Cultivation: I can reincarnate in the heavens

The next day.

Prison No. 24.

The jailers brought Xu Xing a stained eucalyptus table and a bench.

There are pens, inks, papers and inkstones displayed on the table, as well as a topaz arm rest.

"These are the four treasures of the study..."

"The fine Chengchi inkstone, Jinsong ink, and the paper and pen bought at Wenchangzhai..."

Captain Deng of Tianlao walked into the cell with a bundle of papers. He glared at Xu Xing and said, "Commander Liu agreed to your request, but within three days, you will see your results..."

"Otherwise, these will all be removed."

"Also, Lao Wu, keep an eye on him. Don't let him write random things."

Captain Deng ordered a clerk behind him.

The reason why there is no paper and pen in the prison is that the prisoners are afraid that the prisoners will bite randomly and leave evidence behind.

When people are pushed into a hurry, anything can happen.

"Can."

Xu Xing nodded and agreed.

He was not competitive, saying he would see the results today or anything like that.

A momentary battle of spirits is of no use.

The reason why he asked for paper and pen because of his connections was that writing and arithmetic came second.

The real purpose is to have another purpose.

Captain Deng left with all the jailers, leaving only Wu Shuban and Xu Xing living together.

Secretary Wu is an old official. Although he has been sitting in the corner of the cell sipping tea, his eyes have always stayed on Xu Xing and never left. He has a capable and sophisticated look on his face.

Xu Xing ignored Wu Shuban and regarded it as nothing.

He first thanked Academician Su, then sat directly on the bench, rolled up his sleeves, took out a wolf-hair brush from the pen holder, spread out a piece of rice paper, and slowly rubbed ink with one hand.

The faint fragrance of ink spreads, exuding the fragrance of pine smoke.

Put pen to paper.

Lines of mathematical formulas and step-by-step reasoning proofs are displayed on plain paper.

It seems extremely complicated.

After a while, Secretary Wu approached with a tea cup.

He took a look and felt dizzy.

However, he carefully looked at what Xu Xing wrote on the rice paper and understood the annotations of the formula in odd-shaped characters... and then carefully compared the formulas written on the rice paper to verify it and found that it was indeed well-founded.

These office clerks inevitably have to deal with arithmetic on a daily basis.

Therefore, I have also learned some arithmetic in my daily life. Although it is not profound, I know more than ordinary scholars.

Gradually, Secretary Wu became fascinated.

…

…

"Fortunately, I bought a copy of "Chatting" by Mo Hai Library in the book store early. Otherwise, with my arithmetic skills... I can deceive ordinary people, but if I study too much, I won't be able to do so..."

Wei Jing Academy, inside the house.

Xu Xing flipped through the thick book and secretly rejoiced.

Through the ancient bronze mirror, he could see what he was looking at in the copy world.

In this way, the Western geometry, algebra, and astronomy involved in "Talking about the Sky" can be copied onto white paper. You can deceive all the officials in Fengxi Kingdom.

The cultures and customs of the two worlds may be different, but the mathematics is the same.

One plus one can only equal two, not three.

The arithmetic theory in the dungeon world is obviously higher than that in Fengxi Kingdom. If he is so fake, no one will notice anything unusual.

Mohai Library was established on the third day of November in the 23rd year of Daoguang Period and opened in Shanghai.

It was the first printing house of Xia Kingdom in modern times.

"Chatting" is a Western book co-translated by Li Shanlan and Wei Lie Yali. It is an extremely popular book in China. Wei Jing Academy, which advocates practical learning, even makes it a must-read book for academy students.

The academy did not distribute books, so Xu Xing went to bookstores outside and searched for a while before purchasing this book.

"Brother Xu, in two days, the academy exam will be held."

"In the past few days, you can help me tutor me in geometry. It's not free of charge. I'll give you two taels of silver before the exam, and then I'll give you another two taels of silver after that."

Chen Jianan pushed the door open and entered the house, talking about business with Xu Xing.

Wei Jing Academy has an exam every ten days.

The two fasting exams are different. Shi Minzhai only tested practical knowledge, while Rixinzhai included more writing skills in the examination room. The test included scripture questions, Mo Yi questions, and the most important writing skills. In terms of quantity, it is almost the same as the imperial examination.

Chen Jian'an was the young master whom Chen's father paid a large sum of money to send to Wei Jing Academy. He was not a scholar who was admitted to the academy.

I went to the academy to study, and for no other reason than to make a lot of connections in the academy.

He hopes that his classmates will protect his business in the future.

The friendship between people is the most true.

Of course, if he really learns his skills in the academy and becomes famous, it will be an unexpected surprise for the Chen family.

There are many gentry young masters like Chen Jianan in top academies.

After all, not everyone is a good reader.

In the imperial examination system, only fifty people are selected for the county examination, only fifty people are selected for the government examination, and only fifty people are selected for the Taoist examination. It can be said that only fifty scholars will be awarded the title of Taoist examination every two to three years.

(Fifty people is not a quota, but about fifty people. County and government examinations select about fifty people, and Dao examinations select one-tenth of the scholars who participate in the Dao examination as scholars.)

This is a province where scholars have been competing for dozens of places for two to three years.

There were more papers than the civil service examinations of later generations.

"Can……"

"Brother Jian'an, please ask me for advice. I am not a self-conscious person."

Xu Xing accepted the two taels of silver handed over by Chen Jianan and chuckled.

The two taels of silver were said to be tuition fees given to him by Chen Jianan, but in fact they were just a means to win over him.

He sees through it without saying anything.

Only when there are beneficial interactions, the relationship between each other will deepen faster.

And he is also short of this little money now.

"But brother Jian'an, I also have something to ask you."

"The Confucian Classics...well...I haven't fully understood it, so I'm afraid I won't do well in the exam. I saw that you have "Small Title Wenfu", "Big Question Thirty Thousand Selection", and "Small Title Wenfu Sequel". I wonder if Brother Jian'an would like to borrow it? Shuyu will watch next."

After teaching Chen Jianan geometry, Xu Xing proposed the idea of ​​borrowing books.

When he borrowed books, he didn't borrow them randomly.

"Thirty Thousand Selection of Big Questions", "Small Questions Wenfu", and "Sequel to Small Questions Wenfu" are the necessary sample essays for the imperial examinations in the Qing Dynasty published by the Shanghai Tongwen Bureau. The book is divided into four books: "University", "The Doctrine of the Mean" "", "Shang Meng", "Xia Meng", "Shang Lun", "Xia Lun" six categories, the lower part is divided into small topics and major topics.

Each different proposition contains sample essays by different authors and different styles, all of which are explained by famous experts.

It can be said that after memorizing these imperial examination essays, the imperial examination is like divine help.

The questions asked by the examiners basically cannot exceed these imperial examination sample essays...

As long as he copies all these sample essays, it may be difficult to pass the Taoist test.

But the county examination...,

What’s so difficult about the county exam? The standard of the county examination is not much higher.

As long as he passes the county examination, his luck will definitely improve a lot, and his destiny will also change accordingly.

The subsequent government examinations and Taoist examinations are not difficult. With the sample essay as a reference, even if the article written is not satisfactory, the possibility of success in the imperial examination is undoubtedly much greater than that of others.

"You and I are both born under the same roof, so I can't borrow anything from you..."

"When I look at them, they give me a headache."

Chen Jian'an opened the bookcase generously and let Xu Xing choose.
