Chapter 191 The Government Examination Is Approaching, All The Candidates: They Are Going To Be Tort
Chapter 191 The government examination is approaching, and all the candidates: They are going to be tortured again!
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were eyeing Goryeo.
Within the Ming Dynasty.
The government examination will start in a while.
Thousands of scholars who passed the county examination looked extremely solemn as if they were about to go to war.
Three years of imperial examination.
Every level is difficult.
Especially when they met examiners like Ye Xuan, it was even more difficult to pass the exam.
The royal residence.
The cold wind howled.
Blow against the window.
The window only opened a crack, and the cold wind blew in through the crack.
“It’s so cold!”
Wang Yu, who was sitting at the desk near the window, shivered.
He wrapped his cotton robe tightly around himself.
"It's really cold here."
"When will it get warmer?"
Wang Yu put down the brush in his hand and reached towards the hand stove on his lap.
"scene----"
“So warm.
"This brazier isn't warm enough."
"How about asking someone to add more braziers?"
Wang Yu looked at the brazier in the house.
The charcoal fire in the brazier burned red, exuding a faint warmth.
He thought for a while and asked someone to add a brazier, and the room suddenly became warmer. Only then was he satisfied and continued to review the contents of the imperial examination.
17 This year's imperial examination is different from the past.
The examiner is Ye Xuan.
Most of the topics Ye Xuan asked were not about the Four Books and Five Classics, nor about the essence of Confucianism.
His topics cover a wide range of topics.
He has knowledge of astronomy, geography, arithmetic, solving cases, grains, etc.
The students of their current class have more to learn.
There are a pile of books on Wang Yu's desk.
Books such as "Mo Jing", "Kao Gong Ji", "Xia Xiao Zheng", "Qi Min Ya Shu", "Shui Jing Zhu", "Building Methods", "Meng Xi Bi Tan", "Wang Zhen Nong Shu" and other books.
There is a lot going on in these books.
Including mechanics, optics, geometry, engineering technology, handicraft work specifications, manufacturing technology, cultivation of crops, raising livestock and poultry, geographical knowledge, architecture, etc.
These books were all obtained by his uncle, the sixth-rank head of the Ministry of Rites, through various connections.
However, even if you rely on many connections.
The content of some books is still incomplete.
Even so, Wang Yu is already very satisfied.
Without his uncle's connections, he would not have been able to collect so many books for study.
Like ordinary and poor students.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to obtain even one of these books.
He has a superior family background.
That's why so many books are available.
"The government examination is approaching."
"I need to review these books quickly."
"I don't know some content, so I have to give up."
"I just hope that the test questions Ye Xuan will give won't be too difficult."
"However, I have roughly learned some knowledge about astronomy, geography, arithmetic, solving cases, grain farming, etc. No matter how difficult Ye Xuan's questions are, they can't stump me. I can still answer one or two.
Wang Yu looked confident.
Although he is confident.
But he didn't dare to be careless.
Hurry and review all the knowledge points several times.
The same candidates.
Zhou Jin's family is much poorer than Wang Yu's family.
The cold wind howled and kept blowing into the old house. There was an oil lamp burning in the house, which could barely illuminate the desk.
Zhou Jin, who is nearly fifty years old and has gray hair and beard, is wearing a tattered cotton robe and shivering.
His hands were already red and stiff from the cold.
He looked focused and kept reviewing the content.
Stacks of paper filled with words were punched and threaded, bound into a booklet, and placed on the table.
These are all study materials he borrowed from other people's books and copied down.
One by one, he stayed up late and copied them.
During this time, he had very little time to rest.
Get up before dawn.
When the moon is high in the sky, he is not lighting lamps and copying.
His family was poor.
No money to buy study books.
You can only borrow other people's books to copy, and return the books to others when the time is up.
The weather is cold.
His face was filled with vicissitudes of life, but he was extremely determined. His hands were red from the cold, but his determination to concentrate on his studies did not waver.
He took the imperial examination for decades.
Now I can finally pass the county exam.
Zhou Jin knew that his qualifications were not as good as those of most candidates, so he had to work harder than those candidates.
You only get one chance.
Whether you can become a scholar.
It all depends on this imperial examination.
If you fail to pass the government examination and college examination this time.
So.
Everything fell short.
He might just give up.
"I've wasted decades."
"From the Yuan Dynasty to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty."
"I must pass this imperial examination."
"Become a scholar!"
Zhou Jin took a deep breath.
His slightly stooped back straightened a bit.
"The questions Ye Xuan asked are very difficult."
"I must not be careless."
"According to discussions among scholars, there is no so-called correct answer in the county test, the first test for children."
"It makes sense and we can live with it."
"I can pass the county exam."
"It's pretty much luck."
"Dare to speak."
“But next time, I don’t know if I can have such luck.
Zhou Jin couldn't help but grimace when he thought about the test questions Ye Xuan had asked.
"well---!"
"The questions Ye Xuan asked are too difficult."
He continued to seize the time to review.
There is not much time until the government examination!
Not only Wang Yu and Zhou Jin, but also many students who are about to take the government examination are facing a formidable enemy.
They reviewed their knowledge from all walks of life several times.
Facing Ye Xuan, no one dares to be careless.
Known as a child prodigy, he has been praised since he was a child. The same is true for Xie Jin, who will become an important minister of the Ming Dynasty.
In the study room.
Warmth pervades.
There was warmth in the smoker.
Xie Jin was only wearing a thin robe, barefoot, walking on a thick and soft blanket, holding a book and reading aloud.
"Every time we open up wasteland or swampy fields, moxa is planted in July, and the dry grass is set on fire until it blooms in spring..."
“Whenever you are plowing high and going to the fields, regardless of the weather or autumn, you must make sure you get rid of the dampness to get the best... 247
The sound of reading aloud is very powerful.
a long time.
He stopped reading, looked at the book in his hand and sighed:
"The knowledge about agriculture and animal husbandry described in "Essentials for Qi Min" is truly breathtaking.
"In the past, I only read Spring and Autumn Period."
"Only study the Four Books and Five Classics."
"I didn't know there was such a strange book in the world."
"Jia Gong is really a strange person."
After Xie Jin sighed with emotion, he reviewed his books.
Face Ye Xuan.
He didn't dare to be careless.
Everyone knows that Ye Xuan’s questions are weird and difficult.
If you are careless.
I'm afraid I will fail.
He only got second place in the county examination.
It would be really embarrassing if he didn't get first place in the next government examination and college examination.
He is a man known as a great talent.
Being watched by thousands of people.
The pressure is immense.
However, let’s not talk about getting the first place. It would be ridiculous if he couldn’t even pass the scholar examination.
"Mansion examination."
"Hospital exam."
"I must pass."
"Then he is called a scholar!"
"But this is the starting point."
"Next, I have to pass the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace examination!"
“There’s a long road ahead.”
"I definitely can't slack off."
"Especially since the examiner is Ye Xuan!"
Xie Jin's expression condensed, and he continued to cheer for himself and work hard to learn all aspects of knowledge.
