There are only two college exams, one is being tried and one is being re-examined.

Like the government examination, the test questions are pasted on a wooden board, and the official carries the wooden board back and forth in the examination room for the candidates to check the questions. There are only three questions in this exam, two questions in the four books, and one question in the Pentateuch.

Question 1: The people are sufficient, but the king is not enough?

This is a standard four-book title, from the Analects of Yan Yuan.

The original text is: Mourning Gong asked Yu Youruo and said: "The year is hungry, and the use is insufficient, what is it?" If you say, "Thoroughly? He said: "Second, I am still insufficient, how thorough is it?" He said: "The people are enough, who is the king and the insufficiency?" The people are insufficient, who is the king? ”

This is actually an allusion, a dialogue between Lu Aigong and Confucius's disciples.

At that time, Lu implemented a tax policy of ten taxes and two taxes, but despite the high tax rate, the national finances were still very difficult, so Lu Aigong asked for advice. However, it is proposed to reduce taxes to reduce the financial burden of the people. The reason is: If the people are rich, how can you not be enough? If the people are not rich, how can you have enough?

Exactly so, the meaning of this question is: If the people are rich, how can the king be insufficient?

I have to say that this student is still very standard, and the test is the orthodox four-book questions, not those truncated questions. Although truncation questions are popular in the imperial examination, the orthodox Four Books and Five Classics must be examined after the township examination. And now the first question is close to today's current politics, and the imperial court is now also facing the problem of "insufficient use of the state", and it has a taste of relieving the country's worries.

The current taxation of the Zhu Dynasty is indeed very humane, and the implementation of 30 taxes and one is undoubtedly in line with the Confucian idea of "enriching the people". But it's a pity that the current environment is that the people are not rich, and the king is not rich.

"The people are rich from below, and the king is rich from above."

Lin Haoran twisted his sleeves and immediately began to solve the problem. This is undoubtedly a very clever problem-solving, in a word, it sums up the idea of "if", and this alone can get a high score.

After solving the problem, Lin Haoran's pen did not stop, dipped the ink on the inkstone, and continued to sway.

The wealth of the king is hidden from the people; If the people are rich, how can you be poor alone? If it is said that the monarch and the people are one, it is necessary to mourn the public.

Cover said: the public is endowed, and the use is insufficient; If you want to be sufficient, you must first satisfy its people? Sincerity can be a hundred acres and thorough, and the eternal festival is used to love people; Tithing and levy, not for the people's self-support, then the people's power is out, not trapped in solicitation; The people's wealth is not as good as the accumulation.

In Lu Yan, it is a warehouse, and the so-called people who rely on things are worry-free.

Between the wilderness, it is like a sorghum, and the so-called health care to send the dead has no regrets.

If the people are sufficient, why should the king be alone?

……

Paper has a thousand years of life, and the ink rhyme is ever-changing!

Lin Haoran focuses on writing, and an essay of several hundred words is presented. This time, it is in the pavilion style, the font is clear, the article is exquisite, and the expression is even more amazing, and the answer is impeccable.

According to his usual habit, he drafted first and then examined the papers, and satisfactorily put the drafts aside to dry. After getting off to a "good start", he took advantage of the victory to pursue and looked at the second four-book question.

"Zi is Yan Yuan said, if you use it, you will do it, and if you give it up, you will hide it, but I am a husband with you!?"

This title is from the Analects of Confucius, and it is still an orthodox four-book title.

This is a sentence that Confucius said to Yan Yuan, which means: "Use me, I will do it; I'll hide without me, and only me and you can do that! ”?

Lin Haoran immediately had an article in his mind, and immediately wrote him on the draft. He seemed to put aside all distractions and devoted himself to the exam, seemingly not paying attention to whether Jiang Yuebai was coming or not.

Today is a good day, the morning sun has been sprinkled in some areas of the examination room, and it is very comfortable to bask on people's bodies. Since it is a north-south relationship, no one is affected by direct sunlight.

When he finished answering the three questions, he stretched his waist and moved his muscles a little. Due to his relatively high position, he could see Song Tixue on the high platform when he looked up.

This Song Ti, who was wearing a crimson official robe, was fifty years old, and he was thirty years younger than the current Shoufu. It's just that he's young, so naturally he doesn't have to, after all, he knows the destiny of heaven at fifty.

Cough!

Just as he wanted to look at Song Tixue twice, Chen Xuezheng, who was accompanying him on the exam, coughed lightly, but he didn't have any stern eyes, it could only be regarded as a kind reminder.

Tianwei can't look at it directly, and so should this Shangguan, otherwise he may really offend people.

Lin Haoran gave Chen Xuezheng a grateful look, and then lowered his head and continued to answer the question. After laying out the exam papers, I carefully wrote down the answers, and the pavilion style was still chosen.

When he wrote the first question on the answer sheet, the yacha brought water and food.

You don't need to bring food for the college test, you just need to bring pen and ink, and lunch will be provided here, which is a kind of welfare for these children.

The food is not very good, but it can't be said to be bad, Lin Haoran was hungry, and immediately carefully put the answer sheet, he ate it, and ate it all.

After eating, he began to answer the questions again, carefully copying the answers to the other two questions on the test sheet.

When all the questions were copied and put in the row, he handed in the papers and waited at the door. There are not many people, and only a dozen of them come out of the first submission, but they are all unfamiliar.

It's just that when Lin Haoran walked out of the door, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and felt a burst of excitement in his heart.

It's not entirely because he did well in the exams, but because the plan went well.

From beginning to end, Lin Haoran never thought about making a bet with Jiang Yuehua. So when Jiang Yuebai refused to cancel the gambling contract, he thought of a second plan, so that he could not come to the hospital exam as scheduled.

It was precisely like this that he asked Da Biao and A Niu to follow Jiang Yuebai, intending to find a suitable time to kidnap him out of the city. At first, it didn't seem smooth, because this man was cautious every time he went out.

It was only soon that things took a turn for the better, and yesterday afternoon I found an opportunity to make a move, and successfully captured him and sent him out of the city, so that he could not return in time to take the hospital examination.

Thinking about it now, Lin Haoran felt a little scared in his heart, he didn't expect Jiang Yuebai to be so powerful, and he was appreciated by Governor Tan Kai.

If he hadn't succeeded in preventing Jiang Yuebai from coming to the exam, with the influence of Governor Tan Kai, the head of the examination case in this academy would really belong to Jiang Yuebai, and he would have lost the bet.

It's just that thankfully, he decided to use the safest solution from the beginning, and didn't bet on the 40% chance of winning.

"You're so proud!"

But at this moment, a gloomy voice came, faintly with the sound of grinding teeth.
