Chapter Thirty: Strive to Write, Waiting for the Rabbit

(This is really not easy to make a new book list these days. I finally rushed up and hung the rear of the car. After the early morning, it was a new week. The last week of the new book period is here. I beg you all for support!)

"At the extreme of governance, the people are willing to eat, beautify their patience, calm their customs, enjoy their careers, let their ability, and do their best to get whatever they want..."

"No way to gain wealth or poor, no way to take away the country, the upper one will be rich, and the lower one will be rich..."

In the exam room, Chen Sanlang used his pens as if he was flying. He only took an hour to finish an article and checked it again. There were basically no major flaws. After a brief consideration, he began to copy it.

In other exam rooms, many candidates had different expressions. Some were writing quickly, some were frowning, and some were staring in a daze.

The questions of this college exam are difficult, not difficult, and they all rely on their performance. In fact, the imperial examination articles, especially the boy exam, are most critical to meet the taste of the examiner. One day, the emperor is a minister, one master is a disciple. There are many mountains on the court, and there are also many factions in Confucianism.

Cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country and pacifying the world is just a big purpose. It involves how to cultivate oneself, how to manage the family, and how to govern the country and pacifying the world, and expressing one's own opinions and has many different positions and views.

Different opinions mean different factions. When one does not agree with each other, it will evolve into conflicts and often fierce debates occur. In reality, it depends on which faction can take the initiative in the government and the opposition and take charge of the government.

The "Legal Confucian School", "Heart Confucian School", and "Reason Confucian School" are the three major factions today. Among them, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Xiao Yian, is the leader of the Heart Confucian School. He has been in charge of the cabinet for fifteen years and is known as a towering tree in the court and the country, with lush branches and leaves, and his roots are mixed. After countless storms, he has always stood firm.

He has many students all over the world, and Du Yinyan is one of his favorite disciples.

Therefore, Du Xuezheng is also a disciple of the Xin Confucian School.

The heart is an official who thinks, inherits the ways of ancient sages and abides by benevolence and righteousness, but does not seem to be consistent with the rules. Instead, it seems much more free than the emerging Confucian school of reason and Confucianism.

Many of the arguments in this article written by Chen Sanlang are in line with the views of the faction. It is not that he deliberately considers his preferences, but that he also has the same position, so he expresses his own opinions directly.

Time passed by bit by bit, and at noon, the candidates were hungry. At Du Xuezheng's order, a minor official came into the court with a basket of cakes and clear water. This rule is different from the previous county examination. The candidates in the county examination can bring their own examination baskets and enter the court with food. The college examination and the subsequent provincial examination will not be able to do so.

This is an anti-cheating measure, mainly to prevent candidates from hiding their own personal information in the food.

The cakes are all vegetarian cakes, round and thick. Everyone can get three cakes. After eating, they will definitely be full. Unfortunately, they are vegetarian and have a slightly light taste. It’s not that the court saves money and does not give meat, but that they are afraid that candidates will have a stomachache after eating them, which will affect the exam. After all, greasy things are not good and will make people feel uncomfortable.

I nibbled in the pancakes and drank clean water, and the whole place was filled with the sound of food and drink.

After eating, Chen Sanlang paid for the time and felt he had plenty of time, so he lay in the examination room with his clothes and had to take a nap. He was thin and, in addition to the quality of his diet, rest was also essential. He sharpened his knife and chopped wood. Only when he was energetic in his sleep could he think sharply.

However, other candidates do not think so. They all wake up and write articles in a hurry. If they are sleepy, they will reach out and twist their thighs without hesitation, and use pain to dispel the sleepiness.

This is a common trick used by scholars. When used to the extreme, it is called "hanging the beam and stabbing the thighs", which is almost equivalent to self-harm.

Chen Sanlang did not agree with this approach. Although reading is important, it is another matter if you overdraw your life to study. It is still not as good as it is.

After about half an hour, he woke up suddenly, applied clean water to his face, was excited, sat up straight, and continued to do the paper.

The importance of the college entrance examination is self-evident, and it is related to whether you can achieve fame and fame for scholars. Therefore, even some small details have to be considered repeatedly. If the college entrance examination fails and you want to take the fame and fame again, you have to wait next year.

It’s not just a matter of waiting for more than a year, because by next year, no one dares to say that they will definitely pass the exam. Every year, flowers bloom and fall, maybe this will happen for the rest of their lives.

As dusk approached, Chen Sanlang completed all the test questions and carefully checked them again. Only then did he signal to hand over the paper.

In front of him, many people have completed the papers and handed over them one after another.

Chen Sanlang's performance was average. Du Xuezheng glanced at him and his first impression was that he thought the candidate was very thin, so he ignored the others. After all, it is not surprising that more scholars are thin or less fat.

When I left the examination hall, I breathed a long sigh and felt exhausted both physically and mentally. Fortunately, the first stage of the exam was finally completed. If I could pass the scholar, I should go to school next. As for the provincial examination, it will be three years later. During this period, I can adjust and recuperate.

There are many types of credits to be admitted, whether to enter the county or the government; whether to be admitted to the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the

But later, the court saw that the scholars were taking more and more exams. Each of them was a student who had to be given a subsidy for food, and the court would not be poor. So he quickly introduced a new policy to divide scholars into three or six. The first one was a student who had the first grade, and the amount was very limited. The subsequent one was a student who had increased the number and there was no official subsidy. The subsequent one had to pay tuition fees for students entering the school.

Nowadays, the system of appendages has changed again. Even if you are not a scholar, you can become an appendage. However, in addition to paying tuition, you also have to pay an additional surcharge for admission. At this point, the name of "appendages" is truly worthy of. The children of wealthy families who are ignorant of learning have become the main force of appendages.

Some people from the Legal Confucian School of Reasons and Confucian School were very dissatisfied with this reform, and had strongly criticized it and wrote to the court to oppose it.

The emperor asked the old master.

Xiao Yian replied lightly: "The sage said: There is no difference in teachings."

When the emperor heard this, he said, "Anyway, since all the sages said this, what else can I question? In addition, in recent years, the national treasury has been under great deficits. It just so happened that it would be better to use the name of the appendix to collect more money to make up for the national treasury. It is better to buy and sell officials than to buy and sell officials."

Therefore, even the Imperial College started a new policy, and in addition to tribute students and yin students, donations were added. As long as the money was donated, you could enter the school to study.

In short, many things are changing in this era.

Chen Sanlang doesn’t want to be that far away for the time being, and focusing on the present is the right way.

Back at the inn where I stayed, I had a random meal first, filled my stomach, and then took a nice hot shower, lay on the bed, and slept soundly.

After the college entrance examination, the next step is to wait for the public list. The scholar is in the field of fame and fortune. After the exam, the document will go directly to the candidate's location, and then post the list and publicly announce it.
