Before, Shan Liwen and the other three were in the inn, and they all got a new admission ticket, that is, in order to prevent the "epidemic", an independent examination room opened for several of them alone, before the three of them were separated, but now, with other candidates in the inn, they went to this new, specially prepared examination room for them.

Of course, other candidates, it is impossible to know this, they will only lament how bad luck there is, during the exam, there are dead people in the same inn, a little disciplined, that is, silently recite a few words, Wang Daren Brother Wang, you go, reincarnate as soon as possible, go to find a good person, no discipline, while restlessly reciting what Amitabha Buddha, just ask the Buddha not to be contaminated by this bad luck to his own fame.

Of course, due to the special requirements of the government, even if they are very reluctant, they must stay in the inn honestly, and cannot change places temporarily, in the name of "isolation", although very reluctant, but few people will disobey the person in charge of the job when applying, fortunately, Wang Daren died in the Gongyuan, not in the inn, this bad luck is much smaller.

Of course, no one knows, in fact, they were asked to stay in the inn and not leave, and they were also concentrated in one examination room for the exam, all in order to gather Shan Liwen, Wu Qihua and Lin Weijian in one examination room, and observe it carefully.

What they won't believe is that in fact, Wang Daren had already gotten up, and he was waiting there in fear early, and he got up late yesterday, resulting in the Gongyuan who arrived at noon, if he didn't meet a nobleman, he could hardly enter the examination room, which didn't feel good, so this time, Wang Daren hadn't gotten up yet, in fact, at four o'clock at most, he had already gotten up and started to pack everything, ready to go to the exam at any time.

The next day's test was an argument, which is also a new content, but if you take a closer look, there is actually no essential difference from the original strategy to be tested in the imperial examination, it is all based on one thing, a few sentences to describe and explain the ideology, which is also different from the Bagu Wen.

In fact, theoretically, the content of these exams is similar to the content of some exams for civil servants in later generations, and you can learn through internships in specific places, but before that, you must read enough books and agree with the above in thought.

So, in essence, there is no difference, but the ancient people's contempt for science and technology, as well as the neglect of overseas interests, these things are somewhat reversed.

Words can be right, is to show people's hearts, otherwise, the future generations can not have a special handwriting research, through the person's handwriting, study its character and characteristics, and then speculate on the file template, in the later 21st century in the big company, the human resources department for high-level staff, the public relations department for the big leaders above, basically carry out such research, from their preferences, to a variety of details of the study.

Even high-level leaders, no matter what country, pay attention to a city government and joy and anger are invisible, and there is no other reason, if when they have a meeting and conversation, a look of joy or anger towards a foreign leader or subordinate, it may expose the country's real secrets and the bottom line of negotiations, resulting in damage to national interests.

Therefore, the imperial examination is really a stepping stone, the knowledge in it is too big, basically, the knowledge that is not in the books will become a pig-killing knife for promotion, which is not something that ordinary people can speculate.

"How's it going?"

"What else? The topic was formulated by us, and the direction is too obvious, it is estimated that there are already thorny scholars who complain about us in their hearts. ”

In fact, there is not much difference between the argument and the argument, you can even directly think that it is a big essay that does not have any literary requirements, but focuses on the discussion of policy, and in history, many emperors and ministers like to add their own ideology to the policy of the imperial examination, that is, a lot of private goods in it.

Don't underestimate this article, due to well-known reasons, in the Ming Dynasty's publishing industry map, "public examination" teaching and auxiliary books have always been the leading large-scale publications, basically except for the "forbidden destruction" and love embroidered books such as the Golden Bottle Plum, basically, they are all without fighting, without fighting.

In later generations, those "old wet" who ate the civil service examination meal could analyze the entire test paper in great detail within an hour after the end of the exam, and judge the government's next policy from the content of the exam questions.

Everything is a routine, and there is nothing to delve into, and the Presbyterian Council does not expect these scholars to understand too complicated things, in fact, the position of the imperial examination is very simple: the clerk, that is, the person who does things with his head down.

Wang Daren was holding the exam paper at this time, and there was no one else in the house at this time, and even because he lived in the Gongyuan, no one searched for whether he had a private cheat sheet, that is to say, he brought the cheat sheet or books directly on his body before, and no one could find out.

Thankfully, he still had the senses to do so, but he didn't do it, in fact, just above him, a makeshift camera was staring: the presbyterians would not be the first thing to look at when they were good at governance, whether they were historical celebrities, but reliable.

He frowned, and the reader's title: "My Huaxia is also the boss of the empire, getting up to the shore of Heluo Jiuqu, at this time, it has gone through thousands of years, and thousands of years, since the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, regardless of the east, west, north and south, the expansion of the land is a failure, and also?" In other words, there is no sin. ”

"In today's world, there are no rivers and mountains overseas, the land of China is only one of the twentieth, my generation is very blinded, there is a frog at the bottom of the well, whining and mourning, if you want to get close to the world, with the sword of China to expand the land for China, what should be the first strategy, try to say, it is not guilty."

"Scholars are all said to be ancient, books must be said in the Spring and Autumn Period, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucianism is known as the six arts, and it is said that the number of books is liturgical, but after this, it is far from the ancestors, Li Zhen burned books, why is it so far, try to say, it is not guilty."

Wang Daren's heart jumped, he had already known the politics of the imperial capital, and he had already been mastered by some unliterate strangers, and they all claimed to have the title of cultivating immortals, but this exam question can be said to involve no wind and snow and all kinds of metaphysical nonsense, and directly said that China's three biggest problems now, political, military, and cultural drawbacks.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the original allies of traditional Chinese Buddhism in the northwest, the old friends on the Silk Road were basically killed by the people of that religion, and the descendants even forgot that their ancestors actually believed in Buddhism.

The input-output ratio is too low, too much input is needed, and the land can be cultivated for many years to turn the raw land into mature land, and how can the farmers who have lost their land have the financial resources? In the past, in the Han and Tang dynasties, the state paid for seeds, cattle, and let you farm, and after ten years, the land could be cultivated, and taxes would be collected.

And militarily it is actually a big problem, China is actually the limit, the southeast and northwest are basically poor ghosts, you don't need to rob him, he still has to cry poor or rob you, it is not easy to divide Mongolia into countless tribes, fight each other, the Jurchens run out again, I don't know who else is behind the Jurchens......

In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, the drawbacks of the imperial examination and the cultural drawbacks have long been clearly seen by countless readers, but they are not willing to talk about it because of the general trend, but there are also many people who jump out and point out that if you don't reform, you will die out, the author of the book burning, Li Zhen, is the person who has gone the farthest on this road, of course, whoever dares to do this, almost all of them are going to offend people, Li Zhen died in 16o2, only 42 years after his death, the Ming Dynasty fell, It can be said to be the principle of the causal cycle.

Wang Daren has read a lot of books, and even read this book burning, but he also understands this, although this is a book that is going to take away his job, but he has to admit that what he said is very correct.

However, this trend of thought has actually entered the examination questions of the new imperial court, which is too worth thinking about and fearing.

China is actually very small, only one-twentieth of the world, and the later republics accounted for one-fifteenth of the world, but if you count the northeast and northwest, it has not expanded to the outside world for a thousand years, and there are problems with people.

Combined, the three questions are almost clear at a glance, Wang Daren's hands trembled a little, remembering the embarrassment of his wife walking around to borrow money to make up for the passage when he was about to leave the house, the fields that have not been able to collect rent for many years, and the appearance of Shan Liwen and the three of them, sighed, slowly grinded the ink, and began to write.

Twenty years of reading, 3,000 words of articles, a chance to change your fate.

It can be said that the exam questions are very shocking, as long as you have a little brain, you already know that the meaning of this exam question is that the person who made the exam question is preaching the meaning of what the government wants to do in the future.

However, after the examination here, hundreds of miles of travel, tossing and turning for several months, painstakingly completing the questions of the previous subject, feeling that the examination questions do not conform to their own ideology, the people who make trouble, almost no one, this is also Wu Ming's choice of the topic to flatter, what he chooses, what he says, are thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Chinese have done things, such as opening up the territory and expanding the territory, such as foreign conquests, such as both civil and military.

This is also a very different place between China and foreign countries, China in general, our ancestors used to do how and how things, so we should also work so hard, and if one thing, our ancestors did not do, we should not do it.

On the contrary, no, considering the quality of the candidates, they basically began to talk nonsense, anyway, they said it above, and they were not guilty.

Wang Daren finished answering the question, checked it, and was sure that there was nothing to add, he had been preparing for a long time, although the question was very sudden, but it was not tricky, it was all familiar things, look outside, it could still be transparent from the skylight, it should be evening.

"Are you done?"

Wang Daren saw that it seemed to be the benefactor elder who had let him enter the examination room of the Tribute Academy before, he quickly got up and wanted to go to see him, Wu Ming waved his hand and said, "This can be handed in early, if you think it is appropriate, just hand in the paper." ”

Wang Daren saw it, took one last look at the exam paper, confirmed that it was correct, and confidently picked up the thing, after Wu Ming took it, he did not seal it and hand in the paper as he thought, but after opening it, he said while holding it and reading: "Come with me." ”

With that, he turned around and left.

In this case, Wang Daren also followed behind, the tribute courtyard is still very large, the examination shed 9ooo, the outer wall is towering, the environment is shady, in this early spring in February, it is actually very cold, Wang Daren followed out of the gate of the tribute courtyard, no one dared to come to check and intercept, but also dedicated to the authority of the indifferent elder in front of him, and this elder values himself so much, he is likely to be a high-ranking official, and from then on get rid of the identity of a down-and-out landlord.

Looking back, at the gate of the Gongyuan, there is a memorial arch, written with the words "seeking talents for the country", and here, presumably there is no need to come again, Wang Daren took a deep breath, felt that his heart was full of strength, and he felt different when he looked at other things, and he was no longer afraid of the swords and guns of those soldiers.

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, looking at Wu Ming's back, he suddenly remembered that his exam paper was still in his hand and had been taken out of the examination room!

He felt his heart skip a beat, this is not a trivial matter, according to the established process, once the exam papers are handed in, they must be stacked together, paste the names, and leave only the number, and the old officials who are illiterate will paste the papers, and the judge will not be able to see the names, and then copy them by another group of characters, for fear of being left behind secret marks to communicate with each other and get high scores.

However, what kind of crime is it to take the scroll out of the tribute court? Wang Daren was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to shout, so he could only follow quickly.

The south of the Gongyuan is the carp alley, here is also a place to take the trick, it is the meaning of the carp jumping over the dragon gate, good intentions, although the annual examination, really let them rely entirely on the candidates' business to live a little too much, however, for those candidates, the distance is so close, the hotels here will basically be full, and in the restaurant, there are also banquets for the future jinshi who have already set the "celebration banquet".

Wang Daren followed the elder and entered such a restaurant, where it seemed that a table of food had already been prepared, but there was no one else, and there were not many dishes, four dishes and one soup.

Wu Ming put the exam papers aside, motioned for him to sit down on the other side, and said: "The restaurants on this street claim that the most famous meal is braised carp, but none of them use the Yellow River carp, they are all made in the ditch of the nearby small river, the size is different, and the fishy smell can't be covered. ”

Wang Daren squirmed, only looking at his exam paper, fortunately it was still there, he was thinking of a way, not only to get the exam paper back, let the elder send it back quickly, fill in the seams, and don't anger him.
