Chapter 129: Scientific Expedition
On August 18, autumn was crisp.
On this day, a large area was set aside in the eastern part of the city of Guangzhou, and a simple examination shed was set up, and the officers and soldiers surrounded it. Only the north and south gates remained, and the officials were maintaining order.
The ten prefectures in Guangdong were examined in three batches, and the Gaozhou Mansion where Lin Haoran was located was the first batch.
Lin Haoran was wearing a scarf, wearing a student uniform, and carrying an examination basket, ranking among the candidates in Gaozhou Mansion. The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, whether it is a new or old candidate, makes this bamboo gentleman stand at the forefront.
After the examination of the candidates in Guangzhou and Zhaoqing is completed, it is the turn of the candidates in Gaozhou Prefecture, and they also need to be "searched".
Along the way, Lin Haoran has gone from strong resistance at the beginning to now numb. Even if the egg is pinched, it is a roll of the eyes, and the right thing is that these two bastards did not grow eggs.
The scientific examination is a qualification test to participate in the township examination, and the elimination rate is relatively low, and in previous years it was conducted in various provinces. It's just that this year's situation is special, and they all gathered in Guangzhou Mansion for assessment.
Some students who know that they have no hope of taking the test will take the initiative to give up this scientific examination, but more students choose to come over and try their luck. After all, the unpredictability of the imperial examination is very great, and if you really win the examination, you will enter the squire class in one fell swoop.
After the "search", it is necessary to check the identity of the student, and no longer verify the identity of the student by the student who is the guarantor, but check it according to the previous "student file", which is the information that once aroused Lin Haoran's extreme dissatisfaction, such as "frail and thin, white face and no need".
Lin Haoran entered the venue from the Nanyuan Gate, and the examination room area inside was full of tables and chairs, with a corridor in the middle. In front of it is a high platform, which naturally belongs to Song Tixue and other officials.
After the candidates entered the venue, the gate was closed, and Song Tixue, who was wearing a four-grade official uniform, led a group of officials to the high platform for invigilation.
Lin Haoran's seat was at the front, and soon the test papers were distributed.
The examination papers are divided into three categories, which are divided into three categories, which are divided into food students, augmented students, and epiphytes. Since Lin Haoran was a student of Diaoshan, he took a test paper printed with "Diaoshan", and the number was twenty-nine.
Unlike the previous children's examinations, the scientific examination had to be written with a name.
Now these examination papers are presented to Song Tixue, and the candidate's information is also exposed to him, and he can completely re-examine the examination paper based on the candidate's previous performance.
Like Li Shizhen, the three scientific examinations ended in failure, I am afraid that I will offend the students at that time.
As several gongs sounded, the yacha held wooden signs back and forth, and the exam had officially begun.
There are only two questions, one is an eight-strand essay and the other is a policy theory.
It's just that when the eight-strand text was released, all the students couldn't help but gasp, and some even cursed in their hometown, because there are only two words in the title of the four books: Zi Yue.
Compared to the circle of the last hospital exam, this time it seems to be better, but that's all.
This "Zi Yue" is undoubtedly the two most familiar words, and everyone has learned the words of the sage, so that they have understood a lot of great truths. But it's like a teacher who has taught you for a few years and suddenly asks you what you have taught.
If you want to say it one by one, don't say that there are not so many test papers, I'm afraid that you won't be able to finish it in a few months, but you only pick some truths to talk about, which naturally can't be regarded as a standard answer.
Lin Haoran's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked up at Song Tixue on the high platform, and found that this person looked very much like a traitor.
For a long time, he actually had a worry, that is, this Song Ti Society would not give him any more mixes, so that he would stop in the scientific examination and miss the township examination.
Now there is a not optimistic side, everyone knows that nerds like him are not good at interception questions, but now Song Tixue has come up with interception questions in the scientific examination, and this type of question is so tricky.
Realizing that Song Tixue might have moved to knock him down again, his expression was grim. This time he became more and more serious, even if it was grinding ink, he was meticulous.
Grinding ink is like sharpening a knife, and good ink can make the words more full and elegant. Lin Haoran picked up a piece of fine ink, held the ink strips on both sides with his thumb and middle finger, placed his index finger on the top of the ink, pressed it vigorously and gently into the inkstone, and grinded it carefully with even force.
The ancient ink is lightly ground with a few incense, and the new bath in the inkstone pond is bright.
Good ink is good inkstone, the inkstone pond is like a pool of ink, wafting a faint ink fragrance, this preparation is done to the extreme.
"Pifu is the master of the world, and in a word, it is the law of the world!"
Lin Haoran twisted his sleeves and splashed ink, and the wolf pen was stained with ink, so he answered on the white rice paper, and wrote with full attention, without the slightest distraction, as if the whole world only had test papers and him.
Fortunately, he had seen this interception article in order to pick up girls before.
This is praised by later generations as the most exquisite problem-solving, where the "son" corresponds to "the husband and the master of the hundred generations", and the "say" corresponds to "a word for the law of the world", which elevates a puppet to the status of a saint.
The ingenuity here lies in not falling into the trap of what Confucius said, but focusing on the status of Confucius as a saint. Whether it is good or bad to solve the problem depends not only on whether it is appropriate, but also on its momentum.
"One word is the law of the world", how domineering is this, who in the world dares to do this?
After solving the problem, Lin Haoran continued to undertake the topic, start talking, starting, starting shares, middle shares, back shares, and bundle shares, and a very standard eight-strand article was presented in front of him.
Maybe because he was worried, maybe he was really not hungry, or maybe there was some kind of leaking medicine in it, watching the little official hand out the lunch, he didn't mean to move. He looked at the question again, and then began to work on it in earnest.
Policy theory will become more and more important in the township examination, the meeting examination and the palace examination, and even in the palace examination, only policy theory will be examined. However, in the township examination, in fact, the four books and five classics are still the mainstay, so the policy topics of this scientific examination are not too tricky.
"The way of the whole army of Anguo!"
This is the topic of this scientific expedition, from the fire attack chapter of "The Art of War".
The full text is: "Therefore, it is said: the Lord is concerned, the good will be lazy, not profitable, not necessary, not dangerous, not fighting...... This is also the way of the whole army of the country. ”
It means not to start a war lightly when there is no danger. A monarch should not start a war easily because of a moment of anger, nor should a general send troops to fight because of a moment of unhappiness. Only when there is an interest in the country can it participate in the war. Replacing reason with emotion, improper consideration, and poor planning will surely lead to failure. A bad decision by a monarch can cost the country, and a wrong order from a general can lead to the annihilation of an entire army. Anger can be extinguished, anger can be calmed, anger can be turned into joy after anger, but once the country is destroyed, it will cease to exist, and those who died in the war will not be able to come back to life. As monarchs and generals, we must not act rashly and rashly, but should give priority to state affairs and the overall situation, and calmly handle major affairs of state affairs and military aircraft.
