"Fifty thousand taels! Not one point too much, not one point too little!"

The man in black stretched out his palm to gesture again, then placed his hand heavily on the edge of the table, moved his upper body a little closer to the opposite side of the table, lowered his voice and smiled at Mr. Jin Yi:

"Sir, fifty thousand taels, it's not just the sentence just now, but there are five sentences in total! Don't you want to know, Master?"

In that tone, there was still the mysteriousness and coldness inherent in that man. Listening carefully, it also carried an overwhelming sense of pleasure, as if he had already secured the victory and had Master Jinyi's little heart in his hand, unable to escape.

.

"What did you say? It's not one sentence, but five sentences? Is it one sentence with one question, and a total of five questions?"

As expected, Mr. Jinyi could no longer sit still after hearing this.

As a scholar who is about to take part in the Spring Science Examination in February this year, since someone has half-hidden the exam questions to his door, how many people in the world can resist such a temptation?

Just like sitting calmly in the arms of a peerless beauty, or having a room full of gold and not taking a penny from it, it is a test of human nature!

Therefore, Young Master Jin Yi was on pins and needles and was already defeated in just a few seconds.

This psychological tug-of-war ended with the man in black's victory.

Young Master Jinyi couldn't hold it any longer, so he simply rolled up his sleeves, took out a blank silver note from the sleeve tube of the brocade-carved robe, and slapped it on the shiny Eight Immortals table.

Quite said:

"Here is the banknote! Just tell me! Tell me everything. If I still believe you after listening to it, then this banknote will be yours! It has my family's seal on it. You can just fill in the amount in a moment! No!

That’s all! As long as what you say is true!”

As the young man in brocade was speaking, he pressed down the bank note with force. His eyes were menacing and sharp as he stared blankly at the man in black and said:

"But if I find out after I finish the exam that what you told is not the truth, then I'm afraid your life will be in danger!"

After saying this, he raised his hand high, waved it gracefully, and said with a smile:

"Dead or alive, true or false, you decide for yourself!"

It is said that the scientific examination papers of the spring examinations of the Dajing Kingdom in the past years all have five questions, namely two chapters on strategy, one chapter on poetry, one chapter on poetry, and one chapter on military principles.

Lu Chengfeng was listening in the booth next door and couldn't help but shook his head.

The small piece of paper that the two men took out of the steamed buns in various ways just now had the title, "To the people of the world, gather the world's own goods." It should be one of the two policy essays.

Policy theory Policy theory, so called policy theory, examines the Spring Wei imperial examination candidates’ views on the national economy and people’s livelihood and their countermeasures.

As for the emphasis on policy theory in the imperial examination, the Dajing Kingdom was no less important than any other feudal dynasty in Chinese history.

The test scores of candidates in the examination room are directly related to whether they can be favored by those in power after becoming officials.

However, what is the standard for policy discussion? Since the establishment of the imperial examination system, many scholars, including teachers in schools, often believe that the standard is to care about the country and the people, be close to the people's sentiments, express fluently, and speak directly from the heart.

Lu Chengfeng thought otherwise. Not only that, as time went by in feudal society, its standards became more and more fake, big, empty, and complete.

To a certain extent, this problem exists in all political articles, and it is not

This is unique to policy theory, but the same problem exists in military theory.

When it comes to falsehood, why falsehood? That’s because the power of the king is entrusted to heaven, and the king, the king, the ministers, the fathers, the sons, are the basic ethical principles and etiquette teachings of the feudal dynasty.

From the perspective of Lu Chengfeng, a modern person who traveled through time in the 21st century, the so-called ministers are the servants of the emperor and the common people are the emperor's livestock.

The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. It's like a superior human being playing with a weak ant. How can we talk about benevolence, justice, morality, and the love between father and son?

To put it simply and crudely, I am your grandfather and you are my grandson. If I poop on your head, you must say it smells good.

This was Lu Chengfeng's most planned decision, yet most of the candidates in the examination room still wanted to praise their father-in-law.

Speaking of big, why big? It can be explained by the Marxist philosophical principles of later generations, which is the principle of universality of things.

When candidates write policy essays, they must first improve their political stance. What they say seems to be true and applicable to everyone. However, it turns out that every sentence is nonsense. In other words, it is just a matter of fact.

It's no use anywhere.

Speaking of emptiness, why should we say emptiness? It is to appease the emotions of the people and show upwards and downwards that we have methods and the ability to solve problems. When writing policy articles, we talk in general terms, as long as we propose similar methods. As for

No one cares whether the proposed method is targeted and operable, and whether it can achieve the goal.

As for whether the candidates who wrote the article actually implemented the countermeasures they wrote after they became officials, or whether they even fulfilled their promises as superiors, in feudal society, no one supervised or verified.

In fact, many problems, such as integrity problems and efficiency problems, could not be solved until the end of the feudal era.

Therefore, only a Hai Rui Hai Qing Tian can be famous throughout the ages.

Speaking of being comprehensive, why is it necessary to be comprehensive? Being comprehensive means covering all aspects, including the pros and cons. In the words of Marxism-Leninism, it is the thought of dialectical materialism. We must look at problems with a dialectical perspective and be two-minded when dealing with affairs.

Law.

For example, we should not only pay attention to strengthening taxation and increase national treasury revenue, but also pay attention to easing corvee and reducing the burden on the people. Although it is confusing in reality, there is no flaw in theory.

Such fake, big, empty, and comprehensive policy articles are written in a routine and a pattern, but the examiners who grade the papers cannot find any faults, and they will basically have a satisfactory and stable performance.

If there are some bright spots mixed in, it will show the profound knowledge and comprehensive thinking at the same time, and it will win a lot of praise.

Thinking of this, Lu Chengfeng finally understood why the young master in brocade clothes was willing to spend such a huge sum of fifty thousand taels of silver on a suspected test question thrown by a mysterious man in black whom he had never met before that could not be verified for the time being.

Maybe you would be willing to change yourself. Just like during a college exam, if a classmate with excellent grades spreads his exam paper in front of you, do you think you should copy the answers or copy the answers or copy the answers?

Lu Chengfeng, just like you and me, would definitely not have a second different answer.

Who is stupid if he doesn’t copy the answer? He is as stupid as if he doesn’t pick up the money that falls from the sky.

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile softly, patted the drunken and sleeping Bai Yu's face, and joked in a very soft voice:

"Hey, white fish and cuttlefish, you missed a good show!"

At this moment, the man in black smiled enigmatically again and slowly chanted:

“The most beautiful scenery in Jiangnan!”

What the hell is this exam question? Isn’t this a poem? Why do people in Dajing still memorize Du Fu’s poem "The Year of Li Gui in the South of the Yangtze River"?

Lu Chengfeng thought to himself, but accidentally blurted out and recited the full text:

"It's a common sight in King Qi's house, and I heard it several times in front of Cui Jiutang.

that was nice scenery at Jiang Nan, met you again in autumn."

"What a poem! What a poem!"

The young man in Jinyi was just confused. He guessed that according to the order, this sentence should be the second question on strategy, but how could this sentence be a strategy question? Could it be a question on a poem?

While he was wondering, he heard someone reciting a poem loudly from the next door seat, which happened to correspond to the sentence "It is the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan". The poems were sung repeatedly and beautifully, but the emotions implicit in the poems were deep and dignified.

.

He couldn't help but start filming and shouting, forgetting that he had just carefully lowered his voice and looked around.

The man in black, however, still looked mysterious and impassive, and simply asked loudly and openly:

"Who is Mr. He next door? Since you heard the conversation between me and the young master, why don't you come over and talk about our love together? How about we spend some time together?"

Lu Chengfeng was called out so harshly, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet, throw off his arms and walk around to the seat next door, smiling awkwardly and saying:

"You two, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. It just happened that I was drunk and heard you say something about the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. This poem is great. I suddenly

I woke up with a start and couldn't help but feel inspired by poetry."

Lu Chengfeng touched the back of his head shyly and smiled sheepishly.

The man in black didn't say much. He only slightly raised his hand to signal Lu Chengfeng to take a seat.

Just as Lu Chengfeng was about to sit down, when he looked at the front of the young master in brocade clothes, he was stunned and unable to move!

I saw the young man in brocade clothes with fluttering clothes, graceful demeanor, and a beautiful face. He looked a little green but could not hide the aura of wealth and wealth from a wealthy family and the scholarly atmosphere of having read poetry and books.

However, the brocade robe she was wearing seemed a little too big and didn't fit particularly well, and the look between her brows was uncontrollably tired and sad.

That was a face that seemed familiar! Lu Chengfeng was trying to remember where he had met this face before. He was about to introduce himself and bowed, but he heard the young man in brocade shout loudly:

"Why are you! Why are you here!"

The young man in Jinyi was obviously shocked. He couldn't hold a cup of tea firmly in his hand. With his trembling palms, he tilted the hot tea that was not full in the teacup. In an instant, more than half of the cup was spilled, and the flowing water was poured out.

The table is full of them.

Lu Chengfeng only felt that his originally weak scholar's eyes turned murderous when he saw him, and the tea cup in his hand seemed to be smashed on his head in any minute!

As expected, the young master in Jinyi roared again:

"You! Lu Chengfeng! You actually have the nerve to show your face in front of me! You even eavesdropped on my conversation! I knew you didn't have any good intentions towards our Tang family! Did you also arrange for this charlatan to come here? Tell me!

!snort!"
