"What about the forty-two people?" As soon as the waiter was relieved, Cui Riyong hurried over to ask.

"There are five policies for current affairs. I have posted a large scripture and passed it all. The poems are also in accordance with the rhythm. It is the first grade." The minister shared the good news with the minister.

In the Jinshi Department, there are five subjects in the Examination of Shiwu Ce. If you pass one classic, you will be ranked A. If you pass four, you will be ranked B.

If you answer all questions correctly, you will be placed in the first place. If you answer one incorrect question, you will be placed in the second place.

There is no such thing as first-A, second-A, or third-A.

If you make three mistakes, keep working hard next year.

Cui Riyong had a smile on his face. He was having a good time, but the pressure was really too much.

"Where are the others?" Cui Riyong asked again. They need to be ranked. Forty-two people are all in the first class. How to arrange it?

"I think it will be difficult for other people. There are five paragraphs in the Great Sutra. Who can memorize the part about taxation in "The Rites of Zhou"? If there is a wrong word in any of the five paragraphs, one will be missing."

The minister thought that the questions in Tie Dajing were too biased. In the imperial examination, the content in "Book of Rites" was usually tested, but "Li" and "Li" could also be tested.

Many candidates first took the Jinshi exam, but failed this year. Depending on the situation, they feel they have little chance next year and will choose other subjects.

In the Ming Jing subject, there are still three rites to be tested, and a few questions about Zhou rites are specially selected to be asked.

If you ask people who have passed the Ming Dynasty examination to answer the Jingshi examination, they may be able to answer all the questions, but they need to memorize them extra.

But asking them to answer current affairs policies may not work. Otherwise, why wouldn't they take the Jinshi examination this year?

Under normal circumstances, if you write one or two words wrong, the examiner will think you are sloppy, but you really know how to do it, and they will give you a pass.

But when there are other people competing against each other, if someone else's handwriting is not good and you make a typo, you will be ranked B. Unless you write very good political policies and poems, you can be sent to the first place.

In order to deal with current affairs, forty-two students specially memorized this section of Zhou Rites and were covered with it.

"Students from Lijiazhuangzi still work very hard!" Cui Riyong praised when he felt sorry for other candidates.

I picked up a few students' articles and looked at them again, and found the problem.

"It all means the same thing, but it's written in different ways and the words are used differently." Cui Riyong muttered.

"They have always been in contact with Li Yi in the past. How can Li Yi still not see the situation clearly? It would be better to ask Li Yi to write it himself." The minister gave a reasonable answer.

"Where's the poem?" Cui Riyong asked again. He actually saw it. It was OK. It was impossible to say it was brilliant. At least it was far worse than Li Yi.

There is nothing wrong with it, no, the words used are quite nice.

It feels like it was pieced together, and the artistic conception is there, but not profound enough.

The waiter frowned: "Poetry...it seems like there is a special thing to teach it, just like filling it in according to the comparison."

"Yes, I also think so." Cui Riyong found that the words reached his heart.

"Shang Shu, Shangshu, your majesty has just sent three books. He said that every minister has them. Last night he ordered people to copy them and asked everyone to take them home first for their children to study."

Choi Il-yong, a male from the office, came running in.

After coming in, he gasped and handed Cui Riyong three books.

On the cover, it says "Ba Shui Dui Rhyme" (Li Weng Dui Rhyme), Rhythm Enlightenment, and Meng Meng Paragraph Sentences.

Holding the verses of Xun Meng, I turned over a page at random, and it read: Wu, song, thunder and thunder, rain pouring. Bamboo shoots pierced with moss, vines twining around the trees. Two mountains are lined with green gates, and one water is covered with green grass. Spider webs hang on the eaves.

Birds pass by, and the fluorescent lamp shines on the house, causing moths to fly by.

Change a book and open it: Thirteen, Yuan Dynasty, secluded versus exposed, quiet versus noisy, willow bank versus peach garden. Orioles and friends versus swallow friends, greeting each other in the morning and evening. Fish leaping in the marsh, cranes riding in the pavilion, drunken courage versus chanting souls.

Change it again: It’s still thirteen, Yuan Dynasty, the king is facing the prime minister, the ancestor is facing the grandson, the setting sun is facing the Chaotun, the orchid platform is facing the Guidian, the island is facing the mountain village. The stele sheds tears, the poems call the souls, and the grievances face the grace.

"I understand." Cui Riyong had an epiphany.

No wonder the students of Lijiazhuangzi seem to have no problem writing poems, but they always feel a little awkward.

This is a reference book. Memorize the reference book and put it in it when you encounter any rhymes.

The waiter picked up a book, opened it, and understood.

"It turns out that there is a special book on sound and rhyme. It seems that the forty-two candidates have not yet mastered it. Once they become proficient in it, the poems they write will have artistic conception."

He didn't need to ask, he already knew where it came from, the rhyme of Ba Shui, the whole river of Ba Shui, there was only one place where such things could be written.

"I want to make a copy." The waiter requested that it be best to teach the children how to use it so that he can also read it.

"Ask others to copy, read the test papers first." Cui Riyong did not refuse. He believed that the three books would soon be spread all over the world.

Find a few people, throw the three books over, and copy them without any typos.

It was very late that night when all the examination papers were finished.

Not to mention other subjects, there are fifty-nine people who came out in the first place in the Jinshi subject, forty-two of them were candidates from Lijiazhuangzi, and one hundred and forty-one were in the second place.

Ranking…

Cui Riyong didn't go home and sat there worrying.

When it comes to current policy, the forty-two students must be very capable and can explain everything well.

He is now facing new pressure. If he puts forty-two students in the front row and the other seventeen students in the back row, will anyone gossip?

Forty-two students were not placed at the front, but they answered really well.

Especially the situation between Tibet and Turks, the analysis is very clear and logical. Some names of Tibetans and Turks I have never heard of, but the role of each other is written in it.

Why don't you put the other party first? I ask you, can you answer it so perfectly?

In addition to the various circumstances of the marriage, others can analyze it.

Switch to drought and locust plagues, and technology that benefits agriculture.

Who can compare with Lijiazhuangzi in terms of technology for benefiting farmers? There were droughts and locust plagues. It is said that Li Yi brought a lot of poultry over there.

The new method of digging wells during drought was also provided by Li Yi.

Will the ideas he teaches students be different?

"Have the rankings for Jinshi subjects been sorted out?" A voice suddenly sounded, startling Cui Riyong, who was deep in thought.

Looking up, Yao Chong's face appeared in the candlelight, just a few steps ahead.

"Forty-two students..." Cui Riyong began to complain and was in a dilemma.

After hearing this, Yao Chong closed his eyes, opened them after a while, and said, "I'll take a look."

As he said that, he pushed Cui Riyong aside and sat down to read articles, mainly about current affairs strategies for drought and locust plagues.

After reading each article, he said to Cui Riyong: "Forty-two people line up in front, otherwise when the locust plague breaks out in Taihang and Shandong and someone digs out these articles, you..."

Cui Riyong nodded, indicating that he understood, as soon as the locust plague broke out.

I looked through the imperial examination articles and found that it was written that the response to the locust plague was so good, but it was not ranked first.

He, the official minister...

"Is there no locust plague? It's just a drought now. Many people who grow winter wheat are still happy because the wheat harvest is good." Cui Riyong asked another important point.

Grasshoppers are not yet in season, and they won't be visible for another half to a month.

And usually there won’t be a big group when they first come out, but they will gradually increase in number.

"I hope not. It's just that I've never been so anxious about seeing him. He even went out in person. It's been a long journey, and he's still not stable."

Yao Chong said something, shook his head, and left with his hands behind his back.

Cui Riyong thought again and sighed: "I don't know whether it is better to have a locust plague or not."
