Chapter 404 New Learning
The couplets on both sides say: "There are two rays of lights on the east and west, and the two rays of light are scattered in the same way; the curtains are divided into the inside and outside, and a joint is not ventilated."
This is the office of the examiner, and he specializes in offering sacrifices to the god of examination. It is said that the god of examination is Zhang Fei of the Three Kingdoms. Why is it Zhang Fei instead of Guan Er Ge? No one can tell clearly. There is a big red flag in front of the god of examination.
The eight big words in the book "Avenge for grievances and revenge," are called upon the wronged ghosts to take revenge. It is said that those candidates who have done things that harm the heavens and are unethical will be plagued by the wronged ghosts and will write down their sins on the test paper without any self-destruction.
Know.
Of course, this is just a legend. In the 240 years of the Ming Dynasty, I have never seen any candidate who wrote a confession without writing eight-part essays. However, in this way, the atmosphere in the imperial examinations was both strict and gloomy, especially at this time, it was only three.
At the fourth day of the morning, lanterns were high on both sides of the corridor, and raindrops were flying in the light of the lanterns. The rows of silhouettes were simply invisible in the dark night.
This is the old school examination room, but the new school will be a different scene.
The new school examination room entered from the door opposite the examination school. Most of the candidates were 17 or 18 years old, holding all kinds of strange tools, wooden rulers, triangle rulers, and people holding an abacus in their hands.
If you don’t bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the basket, you will naturally send a charcoal pen when you enter the examination room. Charcoal strips made of graphite mixed with loess are made of fine, and wrap them in cork, and then make a drawing pen. Most of the candidates are sent to the candidates.
A shabby civilian.
The old school examined the Four Books and Five Classics questions, and the new school examined the geometric arithmetic questions. The scholars in the old school carefully grind and thought about how to solve the eight-legged essay, but everyone was nervous when they were new school examined.
The abacus was played and the sound of the joke. The test questions on the old school were raised by Lu Xiang, and everyone was convinced. The Hanlin official from the second grade, who dared not accept it? The first Hanlin person to open the Yuan Dynasty? The new school was Sun Yuanhua
The questions asked, Western learning, geometric principles, math, nine chapters of arithmetic, and some Professor Sun’s personal goods are so difficult that people can grab their hair. New and old students are separated by a wall, and they are harmonious, leaving only the only ones.
The sound of brushing and the sound of slapping and the sound of slapping and abacus.
Two days later, another military examination was held in the original provincial examination, and this time the main examination was Liaodong Bo himself.
Ma Cheng had long wanted to start military studies. It was a big news. After seeing the candidate's conditions clearly, some people were angry. Over fifteen years old and under thirty years old, this red line blocked the old masters from the online line. I was not satisfied with my talent.
Lao Tongsheng, an old scholar who is nearly fifty years old, is very resentful and dare not cause trouble. Instead, a group of young scholars and new students take the exam one after another, and soon a thousand people were enrolled.
It’s not bad, but scholars always have a bit of scholarly enthusiasm.
This talented man is a military scholar, but he does not want to be a big-headed soldier. Military scholar was created by Master Liaodong. Bo Ye has six talents under him. Lord Lu Xiangsheng, the leader of the six talents, is a master of military scholars.
Is there any future for the first degree of military science? Look at Lord Lu, Lord Ni will understand. Lord Lu is now in charge of the military and political affairs, and Lord Ni is the chief of military affairs. These are all the right-hand men of the Liaodong Boye.
The imperial court, what do you say? The imperial court can no longer control the Kaiyuan.
There is no matter what the court has to do in Kaiyuan. Last year, the enemy cavalry entered the pass and attacked the capital. It was no longer a peaceful year, so the court still looked at Kaiyuan.
Of course, more than a thousand students are ambitious when taking the exam, which is due to Kaiyuan's social atmosphere.
The military officials are all prominent in Kaiyuan, and civil servants also hold military positions. Civilian officers have become the characteristics of Kaiyuan. Not to mention civilian officers are ordinary soldiers, they are treated very well by a team official.
A town military official's monthly salary is twenty taels, twenty taels of snowflakes. These twenty taels of military pay are not considered the government's rice and flour supply, and meat supply. If a team official is born at home, it is a well-off family, which is more than many landlords' homes.
All moisturize.
Yes, Kaiyuan now has few landlords, and all the landlords have changed to doing business.
The landlord is not stupid either. He worked hard to grow land for a year, and the food he earned was not as good as a wool workshop. How stupid are you still farming? Now the land has been bought by the government. Those who want to farm can go to the government
Buy land at a low price, no matter how many acres you come from, you can buy them without limiting the amount of money you can buy. Most of these acres have been bought by adults, and some of the old people have been fiddling with crops for their whole lives, which cannot be separated from. Adults grow them.
The land is not like the old men. The adults hire tutors and send servants to drive cattle and horses to plow a large area in one day.
Is there any shortage of food in Kaiyuan? Is there any shortage of food? If you have money, go to the Guanguan to buy food. If you lack food, you can drink milk and eat cheese.
Kaiyuan people gradually got used to the Mongolian diet. Milk, cheese, beef and mutton were extremely cheap, but there was a scent of fishy smell. The chefs who were unable to find Kaiyuan were invented in various cooking methods and gradually formed a unique one.
Kaiyuan cuisine. Braised mutton and beef. The old man and boy bite it even if the stew is too close to the grassland. Because Kaiyuan is too close to the grassland, Mongolians come to Kaiyuan to do business every day in Baicheng.
At the end of June, the military school examination room was tested.
More than a thousand students were scattered in various rooms, but the invigilators were officers and soldiers with straight military uniforms. Three people in each room wanted to cheat. Let’s take a look at the mighty officers and soldiers. Kaiyuan’s officers and soldiers are all arrogant soldiers, even if the students have them.
Those who are famous are also polite. Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry is so famous that it is so famous. After passing Shaanxi, the people don’t know that there are many Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry, and there are still people in Kaiyuan.
The students looked at the straight military uniforms, the big red robe with extremely exquisite materials, and the bright golden thread on the big red robe, and many young people looked straight. In the examiner's room, Ma Cheng was very proud and asked the officers and soldiers to wear their dresses.
Is this trick of invigilating the exam effective? It must be effective? I thought that I was deceived by that handsome uniform and applied to the military academy to live a military life. This kind of temptation for young people is extremely irresistible.
Under the burning eyes of the generals of the Kaiyuan Army, candidates, mainly students of Kaiyuan Government, began a two-day military examination with a complete range of categories. The subjects cover three parts: history, military science, and engineering, and exams from the history of each dynasty.
In classic battle examples, from Sun Tzu's Art of War to Western Geometry. The first comprehensive scientific examination in the Ming Dynasty made students frustrated, sometimes scratching their ears and faces, sometimes sweating profusely.
I only regretted that I had to use the books when I wanted to use them. Only then did the students realize that this Liaodong Boye’s military student was not easy to be a disciple of the military student.
It is said that it is military learning, but it is even more like a hodgepodge, but it opens the students' eyes and seems to have a bright door opened in their hearts.
In the old school examination room, Lu Xiangsheng put down a classical paper and stretched his body, looking at each other and smiling bitterly with the two colleagues in the next first.
Letting several Jinshis of the Second Class to evaluate these scholars' papers is really useless. Several Jinshis were drowsy and could only lower the standards. They had originally had poor literary style. These scholars were placed in a province with extremely developed imperial examinations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The county examination may not be able to pass it, but in Kaiyuan he is a serious scholar.
