Chapter 071 Farmer's Imperial Exam Road (12)(1/2)
The best text of the guide, Chapter 71, the farmer's son's imperial examination road? It is said that Chinese people are the best at exams. They may not understand the principle of the question, but they definitely know what the correct answer is.
This is the result of more than two thousand years of examination-oriented education.
Especially in later generations, various exams emerged one after another, and teachers and students had long summarized a complete set of test-taking models.
Anne has long been accustomed to summarizing, drawing key points, and practicing questions.
Thinking of Wusan in later generations, Annie felt that she could do some test paper business in this time and space!
The next morning, Anne got up early, finished washing up and started copying books.
If you use a computer and use a fast hand, you will probably be able to complete the content of three thousand words in more than ten minutes.
But writing one word at a time is a bit troublesome.
What's more, use a brush, and ensure that the font is clear, neat and consistent in size.
This is definitely not a light work.
Anne calmed down and focused on copying.
While copying, she memorized it silently in her heart, and she reviewed it again.
Maybe it was the first time I copied a book. Anne had no experience and was afraid of copying it wrong, so she was very careful, so she took more than an hour.
After copying the book, Anne spread the paper on the desk and on the floor.
She then placed the paper in order after the ink mark was dried.
Standing up, stretched, Annie walked around the yard and saw Zhou Yufen following Mrs. Tan to the vegetable field with disgust, and she was in a good mood.
After moving her muscles and bones, she returned to the study.
This time, Annie did not copy the book, but searched for the questions that this year's boy test in her memory.
She did these questions one by one, and then put these articles together with what she wrote yesterday.
After lunch, she followed her two younger brothers to the field in the afternoon.
At this time, the farm work was almost busy and the weather was getting colder.
According to previous practices, Zhou Yaozong and Zhou Yaoting should also find short-term workers outside.
The two brothers discussed entering the city, but Annie didn't interrupt and listened quietly.
Within two days, Zhou Yaozong and his brothers went to the county town and said they were giving a yard to a private house, so they could get ten cents of money a day and also included food and accommodation.
Anne continued to copy books, endorse and write articles at home.
After ten days, Anne packed up all the copied books and articles, and took a few girls to the county town on a ox cart from the neighboring village.
Yes, the Zhou family has not bought a ox cart yet.
Because Zhou Jingxian had concerns, he always felt uneasy when he used the money he earned from the casino.
And if you tell this kind of thing, you are afraid of jokes: the first time in Zhou Xiucai made money in his life, he actually relied on studying, but on gambling.
What do you think if you let others listen?
Another thing is that it will make people mistakenly think that gambling can make money. If it misleads other people in the village and causes a big disaster, Zhou Yaozu will be a sinner.
Zhou Jing first thought that the boss was copying books. After he copied some days, he let out the talk, saying that the boss made money by copying books and added a cart to his family.
After the ox cart entered the county town, Annie sent Zhou Xiaomei and a few more to Aunt Lu's house, and told the girls to be obedient, so she went to the bookstore.
He handed over the book and the copied book to Boss Xue. Boss Xue carefully checked it and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Boss Xue acted as an attempt to settle the wages for Annie. Annie smiled and waved her hand, "I want to choose a few books and settle them together."
Boss Xue was curious, "What book does Zhou Xiucai want to buy?"
Annie said: "Are there any collections of time in recent years?"
That’s right, there are also collections of sample essays sold in this era. However, most of them are sample essays that passed the imperial examinations for a certain period of time.
Not the mock test question Annie wants to do.
"Yes, Xiucai Zhou wants to have a provincial examination?" Boss Xue asked.
Annie shook her head, "No, I want to choose the collection of time in our county." This is the sample essay for the various candidates who passed the exam.
Boss Xue was a little curious, but then he thought that Zhou Xiucai's son seemed to be going to take the exam for the scholar, so he probably bought it for his son.
Boss Xue didn't ask any more questions and took out seven or eight books.
Annie looked through it and said that she only had the selections for the last three years.
Because the magistrate of Qi County has been in Qi County for three years, Annie mainly wanted to understand the preferences of her parents and officials.
Books these days are not cheap, and even old books from previous years are of great value.
Three books, one tael of silver.
Annie only got 100 ounces for copying books. Now, not only did she not get a penny, but she also had to give Boss Xue another 900 ounces.
Annie gave the money easily and took a few more books. She did not go home immediately, but instead picked up the books from the bookstore.
There was no way, a few girls had to stay at Aunt Lu's house for one day. In the evening, she had to take the person back.
After a simple meal at noon, Anne continued to copy books.
The bookstore was very quiet, and Annie copied it smoothly. In less than four hours, she copied six books.
It was getting late, and Annie settled the accounts of the six books. She did not take the books anymore. She said goodbye to Boss Xue, picked up a few excited girls, and returned to Zhoujiaao in a ox cart.
In the following days, Annie did not continue to copy books, but carefully studied the magistrate's preferences, and then referred to the questions he had issued in the past three years and guessed some test questions.
Then, she did these questions again.
In a blink of an eye, it was another tenth. Annie took Zhou Xiaomei and the others to the county town with a thick dozen manuscripts.
"Scholar Zhou, is this?"
Boss Xue himself is a scholar. When he saw what Zhou Yaozu took out, he immediately understood.
He asked carefully with excitement in his eyes.
"It's what you think."
Annie smiled and said, "Although I failed the exam many times, the name of the youngest scholar in Qi County is still useful."
Mock exam questions still require fame and signature.
Why do everyone buy Huanggang? Because they are so awesome.
Those really good mock exam questions can even weigh the middle school entrance exam questions. How surprised are you to see the exact same exam questions during the exam?
As time goes by, the reputation will come, and the candidates become more convinced of the mock test papers published by this publisher.
Although Zhou Yaozu was said to be "injuring Zhongyong", his brilliant record has not been broken to this day.
If the bookstore uses this as a selling point, there are still many people who are willing to pay.
Boss Xue carefully read Annie's articles. He is also a scholar, so he naturally understands the quality of the articles.
To be honest, these articles are not very amazing, but they are more likely to be calm, smooth writing, concise words, and unconventional.
Boss Xue is also a person in the cultural circle. I have vaguely heard that their county magistrate is a pragmatic and conservative person. He doesn’t like too fancy things.
And all these articles are about the appetite of the magistrate.
"I am worthy of being a scholar Zhou who passed the exam at the age of thirteen. He is indeed very literary."
The most important thing is that people know how to "meet their preferences".
Such a model is absolutely popular.
Boss Xue was very optimistic about this set of simulation test questions, so he discussed cooperation with Anne.
The two of them went back and forth, bargained and finally reached an agreement: Anne was responsible for the test questions, and Boss Xue was responsible for the funds, printing, sales and other matters, and the share was based on four or six points.
Annie got four, and Boss Xue got six.
It is now the end of the year, and Annie doesn’t have many manuscripts in her hands, and it’s not the time for the exam. The two discussed that they would prepare to print their books when the spring of the next year begins.
Annie also took advantage of this time to write more examples.
In order to show sincerity and to let Annie write articles as soon as possible, Boss Xue even gave twenty taels of silver as a deposit.
I even gave me a lot of pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Annie nodded secretly. This is the person who can do great things.
In the evening, Anne held a lot of things and picked up a few children, but still took a ox cart home.
The next day, news came from Zhou Jiaao: Zhou Xiucai easily earned twenty taels of silver by writing books.
Twenty taels of silver are definitely a considerable amount of money for ordinary farmers who don’t see much money all year round.
Especially I heard that Sammi Zhou didn’t have much effort, just copied and wrote it for more than ten days.
It only envied the villagers and ran to the Zhou family to ask about the situation.
As a result, when we arrived at the Zhou family, everyone realized that Zhou Jingxian and Zhou Xiucai were not at home, saying that they were going to buy cows in the county.
