More than fifty students from Qingtan Academy specially booked the Hongbin Inn, which is located not too far to the east of Gongyuan.
In fact, since January, the inns, temples, and vacant houses around Gongyuan have been occupied by students who arrived early.
The Qingtan Academy wells and terraces are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and the innkeeper is of course very happy when he learns that it is a student from Qingtan Academy who wants to rent the property.
Now everyone knows that Cheongtan Academy is the number one academy in Sunchon and even Northland. If any of these dozens of students become the top scholar, second in the class, or third in the imperial examination, there will even be a cabinet minister among these scholars in the future.
Chief Assistant, then this inn will become famous and we won’t have to worry about business for decades.
Even if my children and grandchildren inherit this family business, they can also brag about it. In the spring of the fifth year of Yonglong, so-and-so lived in a certain room in a certain courtyard of my inn. What happened to him later? This is definitely worthy of the title.
With an honor and capital that can be passed down to the family.
The academy has reserved three large courtyards of the inn. Basically, they all have rooms for two or three people. They do not sleep in large bunks like in the academy. After all, they have to maintain a relatively good rest state in the past few days to prepare for war.
Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi lived in the same room.
In Feng Ziying's words, having the luck of a player who has the strength to hit the top three might help her performance in the exam.
"Ziying, don't be so nervous. It's normal to fail the exam. Brother Yu is ten years older than you. This is the third time Brother Yu has taken this subject. Brother Yu failed in the first two times, but he is not discouraged.
."
Sitting in the chair, I actually had a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in my hand and was flipping through it. The practice of state affairs seemed very calm and calm.
"Brother Jun Yu, how can I compare with you? You are very confident, but I don't know what I am doing." Feng Ziying laughed, "Actually, I also know that I have little hope in this subject, but what if? What if I perform well?"
It’s very good, the test questions are exactly what I am most familiar with, and the papers are in line with the preferences of my fellow examiner?”
Lian Guoshi laughed dumbly and shook his head: "You don't have to belittle yourself. Although you are lacking in classics and righteousness, current policy theory is the winner in the Spring Festival Competition. Well, what you said is not unreasonable. It depends on the test questions and
You're an examiner. As for your performance, Brother Yu doesn't think that's a problem. Your performance has always been stable, even excellent. Brother Yu's only worry is that the examiner is too harsh and has too high requirements for your words and sentences. But when you say this, Brother Yu feels hopeful.
It’s really not small.”
"Then thank you Brother Jun Yu for your kind words. I think Brother Jun Yu is in the best condition now. Well, it seems that he is promising for the first grade." Feng Ziying also respects this senior brother very much, he is calm and sophisticated, and has a down-to-earth style.
It doesn't matter whether you pass the Jinshi or even the second-class examination. The key lies in whether you can pass the first-class examination.
"Okay, you don't have to flatter Brother Yu anymore. It depends on the Holy One." Lian Guo was very calm.
There was a knock at the door, "Please come in!"
It's Fang Youdu and Wu Di.
"Why, Luyou and Uncle Fang, can't you sleep either? Why don't you go and have a rest early?" Lian Guoshi, as the eldest brother of the academy, has a very good reputation throughout the academy.
Wu Di and Fang Youdu were both from Nanzhili, but Wu Di and Feng Ziying were not very close before, but after Qiu Wei, they entered Xiyuan together, and their relationship suddenly became closer.
"Well, Senior Brother Junyu, I really can't sleep, and it's a little early now." Wu Yan is also an eighteen-year-old young man, and his Nanzhili accent is a bit thick, but everyone can understand it if he is used to it.
"Well, it's inevitable. Relax and think about it. All the students in our academy are like this. I'm afraid the others are not as good as us." Lian Guoshi comforted the two of them, his eyes clear and clear, "After all, we are considered the home field, right?"
Wu Di and Fang Youdu both laughed. Yes, they had come to Shuntian Gongyuan in the past two years. Unlike other students who came here temporarily, they had studied in Shuntian for several years, and they
You should be able to adapt better than other students.
Feng Ziying was also a little unable to sleep.
It should be said that there are more than fifty students from Qingtan Academy in this inn. Except for Lian Guoshi, Han Jing, Xu Xie, Song Tongyin, Fang Zhenru and others who have participated in many rounds of Spring Festival Competition, they may be a little calmer. The other students are excited.
, nervousness mixed together, making it difficult to sleep.
But even these few are still a little nervous, but they are just more able to maintain their composure than others.
"Brother Jun Yu, even though you said that, we are still nervous, what should we do?" Feng Ziying spread her hands, "If you don't believe me, ask Lu You and Uncle Fang, I guess they will have trouble falling asleep tonight."
Wu Di and Fang Youdu both smiled and nodded honestly. They really had no choice but to lie on the bed for a long time, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Then they simply got up and saw the candlelight in Lian Guoshi and Feng Ziying's room was still on.
Come knock on the door.
Lian Guoshi has also experienced this situation, and it is indeed easier said than done. "Well, let's just bet on a question. Needless to say tomorrow's lesson, there is little point in betting on the wrong team. Anyway, everyone relies on the spot.
Let’s play, well, we can think about the policy theory of not becoming outdated.”
Writing questions has always been a last-minute must-have for various academies. In the last month, it was inevitable for each professor to come up with his or her own skills. First, they had to delineate the scope based on the major events of the imperial court in the past three years.
, and then cast a net according to the current focus of the court, and finally start to solve the problem in a targeted manner.
The so-called problem solving is to draw up some discussion directions and key insights based on these directions and fields. Because the coverage is too broad, it is impossible to cover it one by one. It is certain that we can only propose some new ideas and suitable discussions for one field and one aspect.
Then everyone will make some ideas on their own, so that when they encounter similar topics of the same type in the competition, they can discuss them in a targeted manner.
When the subject was mentioned, both Wu Di and Fang Youdu became interested, and Lian Guo Shi also set his sights on Feng Ziying, "Ziying, even the mountain chief and the dean said that you are the most sensitive to this among our group of people.
How about it, do you have any ideas?"
Several people's eyes were focused on Feng Ziying, but Feng Ziying was not afraid. Now everyone in the academy felt that his outstanding abilities in current policy theory were amazing, especially the Qiuwei Competition, which relied on current policy theory.
Only with great advantages can you stand out. Now Chunwei pays more attention to current policy theory. If he can hit one or two, it will be different.
The Theory of Current Policies in the Great Zhou Dynasty consists of three questions, of which questions 1 and 2 are subtitles, and the third question is the theme. The third question is particularly important, and many people even read the theme of the third question in the Theory of Current Policies in Chunwei.
Because many classmates paid more attention to the performance of the third question on current policy when reviewing papers, so many students who performed well on the first and second questions but unsatisfactory on the third question were dismissed, so the imperial court also asked many times
In the same examination, it is necessary to pay equal attention to the three questions, and not only focus on the theme of the third question.
"Well, Brother Junyu, actually we have put a lot of pressure on the topic in the academy?" Feng Ziying said with a smile: "It's better that the four of us are here, each write down the direction that we think is the most likely, and then
How about writing down on these questions what aspects you think are more innovative and unconventional to answer, and learn from each other?"
Feng Ziying's proposal immediately interested Lian Guoshi and the other two people. While the four of them were talking, there was another knock on the door. Sure enough, it was Zheng Chongjian and Fan Jingwen who also heard the voice and came over. They were shocked when they heard this suggestion.
There was great applause, so several people started to find paper and pen to write the question, and then wrote down the direction to solve the question.
After a while of rustling, everyone listed what they had written. It should be said that the trend is relatively consistent. For example, what everyone wrote most was about wealth, floods and droughts, official governance, public education, etc., of course.
Specific to some small aspects, but what everyone is more interested in is what Feng Ziying wrote.
Feng Ziying only wrote about two items, one is frontier military affairs, and the other is wealth.
We all know very well that the current financial situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty is extremely difficult. This can be known from the fact that the emperor risked the disapproval of the world and sent tax inspectors to various places to collect taxes. Therefore, most of them also wrote about wealth.
There are some suggestions from various aspects, but they are all based on land tax, commercial tax and even sea development.
However, the border military affairs surprised them a little. Only Lian Guoshi seemed to be a little touched by Feng Ziying's suggestion.
Feng Ziying dared to write about border military affairs, so she naturally had something to rely on. This is recognized by everyone, and everyone knows that Feng Ziying comes from a family of Wu Xun, and lived in the border areas for a long time before entering the academy. Naturally, what she saw and heard was not as good as ordinary people.
He must have felt something when he wrote this.
"Ziying, let's not talk about wealth. We all know it, and they are similar. Even if we have different emphasis, when we encounter such problems in battle, everyone can deal with them on the spot, but your border military affairs are...
You have something to say, is it..." Lian Guoshi hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Well, Brother Junyu, last time I met the Jurchen tribute group entering the city, and then I met Zhao Shujiao, and Brother Chucai, the Ministry of War Staff Division who you mentioned last year, I also learned about some of the situation. Now
Although the situation seems to be relatively safe, in fact, the threats from the north and northeast, as well as the southwest and east seas are increasing day by day, especially the northeast and southwest. Jianzhou Jurchen has become a serious concern for us, and the southwest Dongwu, Annan
, especially since the conflict between the Yunnan-Guizhou kingdom and the local exiled officials is becoming increasingly prominent, Long Jinwei is also aware of this situation..."
Feng Ziying has no intention of hiding anything from his classmates. In his opinion, these classmates may become his powerful helpers in the future. Being able to help them at this time will be more valuable than any help in the future, so he
Say everything you can to them.
"..., so I think that the possibility of the three questions in this subject involving border military affairs is not small, and I estimate that most ordinary scholars will not have such sensitivity and understanding of this area,..."
