Those outside the city think it is good and are full of envy, while those inside the city think it is bad or average. But there is a besieged city in the ancient Chinese feudal dynasty, which makes people from top to bottom flock to it.
Officials.
Take the exam and then become an official.
As the preliminary examinations in each county were carried out one after another, students who passed the preliminary examinations from various counties and counties poured into Chang'an. The inns and restaurants in Chang'an and surrounding areas began to be full.
In this way, there are still many candidates who want to stay in private houses. Of course, the price is not cheap. I don’t know if the concept of homestays existed before Dahan. Anyway, Fei sneaked into Guanzhong and had such a concept when he was giving lectures at Qinglong Temple.
B&B. Generally, B&Bs are just accommodation. Some better B&Bs even include food and laundry. Of course, there are better ones...
In addition to these additional civilian resettlement and accommodation sites, Fei Qian also temporarily mobilized some labor camps on the outskirts of Chang'an. It sounds unpleasant to say they are labor camps, but they were changed to youth hostels... ahem,
Wouldn't it sound much better if it was changed to "Confucius and Mencius Yipu"?
These labor camps, um, "Confucius and Mencius Yipu", are actually built according to standard camps. They have camp walls, toilets, bathing areas, etc. In fact, the conditions are not too bad. The most important thing is that they do not charge money, which makes
Many students who are short of money are willing to live there.
Although these "Confucius and Mencius Yipu" are a bit far away from Chang'an, there are three carriages at the entrance of the camp every day. They leave when they arrive or when they are full, so it is indeed a bit inconvenient overall, but it is not too big.
trouble.
As the exam date gradually approaches, the streets and alleys of Chang'an are full of scholars wearing kerchiefs and straight jackets. Even when other people talk to each other, they all have a "serious look".
At the same time, because there are many "seniors" who have taken the exam in Chang'an, there are also many shop merchants at this time. In order to attract business, promote their reputation, and have other ideas, they sometimes invite some who have obtained the exam before.
The "seniors" who have achieved good results in the exam often preach some content, which often attracts many students to listen eagerly. Sometimes hundreds or even thousands of people gather together, which is quite spectacular for a time.
In such a lecture, it is of course impossible to talk about the subtle meanings in the scriptures, but to focus on some precautions in the exam room, preparation items, etc., from how to prepare for the exam to how to take the exam.
, are all popular topics among candidates.
They will even mention some of the content of previous exams. Compared with the exam questions in counties, the number of exam questions and exam subjects in Chang'an have been greatly expanded. This is completely different from the first exam.
There are also many students who come to Chang'an to take the exam for the first time, but they often cannot adapt to the intensity of the exam, and end up with physical and mental breakdown, self-doubt, and even disappearing from everyone in a hurry.
Just like the exam in Longyou lasted only one day, the exam in Chang'an now has three exams.
The first session is to prepare for the exam. Because it tests rote memorization of content, the time spent on the examination will be relatively long.
In fact, the first test is relatively simple, as long as you can recite it proficiently, it will be fine. After all, the Han Dynasty does not have as many scriptures as later generations. Among the main scriptures identified in Qinglong Temple, the main ones are the Book of Poems, Li Yi, Spring and Autumn Period, and these few
This book is a must-read for almost all students. There may be slight differences between the local version and the Qinglong Temple version, but in general it is similar. It is not like those prophecies in Jinwen Jingxue, where each has its own say.
The study of classics in ancient bronze inscriptions is also like a besieged city.
However, the difference between the siege of officials and the siege of officials is that most people want to squeeze in, while the siege of scriptures is trapped and difficult to get out, but they have to leave.
After the Great Treatise of Qinglong Temple, especially after the treatise on the "Zhengjing", Jinwen Confucian classics gradually came to an end.
Strictly speaking, the prophecy theories in Jinwen Jingxue have no market.
Feiqian was originally supposed to be a large potential market for Chenwei theory.
In fact, many local princes in the Han Dynasty were invisible supporters of these prophecy theories.
Even Cao Cao was not exempt from this habit. Back then he rushed to the door to ask for a comment from others...
In fact, if you think about it with a little brain, you will know that a person's life has nothing to do with the prophecy and comments. With comments, one can rise to great heights, but without these comments, he will sink forever? He really has such great ability, so he has to maintain such
What is the price to be paid for the great law and order technique?
This is actually like those comments about constellations in later generations. If the names of the constellations are hidden, and then randomly mixed with the names of the constellations and then people look at it, some people will think that it is "hit"!
Are there any prophecies in the ancient scriptures? Yes, but there are many less compared to modern scriptures. On the one hand, most of the ancient scriptures are tangible scriptures passed down from ancient times. It is natural to write them on bamboo slips and wooden slips.
Choose the important ones to write. For example, most of the prophecies are concentrated on the I Ching. On the other hand, because the Jinwen Jing was dictated at the beginning, it is inevitable that each school will have content added by each school.
…
Fei Qian made it clear that prophecy was a pseudo-study, which left many people with no "purpose" for a moment. Among them, Jinwen Jingxue suffered the most. In addition, the "correct explanation" of Qinglong Temple, which has gradually become complete, is a relatively complete and
A normative scriptural framework is taking shape.
And these students who refer to it will pass on this framework of modern and ancient texts with serious interpretations...
Just like these recitation and fill-in-the-blank questions in the first exam.
This is Fei Qian's strategy. It seems to be inconclusive, but in fact it has already produced results. Fei Qian did not directly go on stage, but just shouted that he wanted to kill Jin Wen, or that he wanted to restore Gu Wen, because this would only make things happen.
Intensification, and once conflicts intensify, many times some people may not act rationally. In order to maintain their respective positions, under the influence of emotions, there will be a situation where they only care about their butts.
China attaches great importance to "use". No matter how many nice words you say, it is better to actually use it.
The same is true for exams. The second exam is an exam on the application of official documents. The prescribed questions are one for each of "Edicts, Tables, Documents, Chapters, and Judgments".
These "edicts, orders, ultimatums, chapters, and judgments" are also like a siege.
Because it is a limited subject matter, a limited number of words, and a limited format, there is no room for mistakes.
When Fei Qian first came to power, counties and towns from various places reported various types of documents, and they were free to express their style. The richness of the words made Fei Qian's head grow bigger, so he gradually improved the standards for this type of official documents and framed them.
specifications.
For example, "expression" is used to express feelings. All matters related to admonishment, persuasion, begging, punishment, dedication, recommendation, celebration, comfort, resignation, thanks, litigation, impeachment, etc. are all "
"Table". The first sentence at the beginning of the table must explain what the matter is, the person's location, time and events, and then describe the specific situation. At the end, suggestions or related measures that have been dealt with should be added. The overall length should be four hundred words, at most.
Must not exceed 1,000 words.
The last one is the policy discussion.
It will be relatively loose, but there are also restrictions. If you want to be free to go off topic, I'm afraid even the paper will fly away...
This set of examination contents and regulations will gradually form a standard, and then continue to be used. If we can use these three examinations, we can use this method to examine students relatively comprehensively, and the selected people will also be relatively comprehensive.
They are more educated and knowledgeable, and they also have certain administrative abilities.
The reason why poetry and poetry are not tested is because ordinary officials do not need very good literary talent.
As for the eight-part essay of later generations, it was actually a special product under the examination system. Although it was criticized by many people in later generations, it was not really that bad. On the contrary, it played a big role in maintaining objective selection...
…
It's like a besieged city. People in the city and outside the city have different feelings when they look at it.
In this large-scale examination, there were gentry children from Heluo, Hedong, local squires from Longyou Han, and even Han Chinese people...
In fact, under Fei Qian's rule, there were many Hu people who had become Chinese.
For example, the Linghu family of Shangdang is completely Chinese, and even has greater academic achievements in China than many people in China.
A middle-aged man, Chi Qianping, is also a Han Chinese. His family was originally supposed to be the Southern Huns, and then split into the Han Dynasty during the Western Han Dynasty, first in Chang'an, and later in Hedong. After two to three hundred years,
Incident, now the Chiqian clan is no different from ordinary Han people.
Sima Yi went to Hedong to preside over the county examination. It was during that examination that Chi Qianping passed the standard and got a place to participate in the Chang'an Enexamination. Now he lives in the "Confucius and Mencius Yipu" prepared by General Hussar, preparing to participate in the upcoming
The big exam is coming.
As the exam time approached, the atmosphere in the Confucius and Mencius Yipu camp became tense day by day.
In such an atmosphere, something will happen from time to time...
There are all kinds of strange things happening to all kinds of people. Even if there are special soldiers responsible for orderly patrols in the camp, there will still be some unexpected situations.
In the Datongpu where Chi Qianping lived, in the early morning, someone shouted that the pen and ink he prepared was missing!
If soldiers go into battle, the most important thing is weapons and armor, then when these students go to the examination room, pen and ink are their weapons. But now that the weapons are lost, how can we not make people anxious?
The patrol inspector on duty came with soldiers, but he couldn't find any problem, because the unlucky boy's bag of pen and ink was not lost in Datong Shop, but he left it outside when he went out...
That's right, I forgot about it.
The unlucky boy treasured his pen and inkstone and carried it with him wherever he went. He did not put it in the Datong Shop for fear that someone would steal it if it was left in the Datong Shop. As a result, he himself forgot the bag somewhere.
If it was stolen, it would naturally have to be traced, but I forgot about it...
After understanding the situation, the inspector clicked his tongue and left with the soldiers. If these soldiers under him lost their armor and weapons, they would start at least thirty whips.
Can you forget such an important thing?
Why don't you forget to eat and sleep?
The unlucky child held his head and cried loudly.
Is there any use in crying?
But just crying.
Chi Ganping didn't have extra spare pens, so he only had two pens prepared, one big pen and one thinner one, which were used to write characters of different sizes. He could give a small piece of ink to the unlucky child.
But there is only one piece of the inkstone and cannot be separated.
The others were much the same. They put together a common shop and had some ink sticks, but there were no extra pens or inkstones.
Chi Qianping and others accompanied the unlucky child to search in several places in the camp where he might have been lost, but naturally found nothing. Even the unlucky child didn't know exactly when and where it was lost, let alone
Needless to say, I can still remember who is around and what happened.
After searching to no avail, Chi Ganping asked if the examination room would provide pens, ink, paper and inkstones. The result was that papers would be distributed in the examination room, and there seemed to be ink blocks that could be applied for, but pens and inkstones were not available.
I heard there are additional ones provided...
After all, it is best to use the pen, ink and inkstone that you are comfortable with. If you are not comfortable with it and then fail the exam, is it your own, or is it the problem with the pen, ink and inkstone provided by the exam room?
The unlucky child felt aggrieved, but the problem was that crying in Datongpu made it impossible for others, whether they wanted to rest or read a book. In desperation, Chi Ganping found him
The remaining people in Datongpu discussed taking the unlucky child to the Chang'an City Chinese Collection.
Who calls him the oldest in this Datong shop? After all, no one is familiar with him. If he doesn't take the initiative to talk about this matter, most others will ignore it. And if this continues, although Chi Ganping is not sure whether this unlucky child will suddenly
He hits the hammer when he can't think straight, whether he gives it to himself or others, but being able to solve the problem early will also help the team members to have a good rest, otherwise it will affect their rest, and I'm afraid everyone may have problems in the final exam.
So everyone pooled some money to buy some pen and ink inkstones for this unlucky child. Although a set of pen and ink inkstones is valuable, it is not much to spread to everyone. In addition, it can be regarded as a way to relax and change the mood before the exam. In addition,
In addition, there is also the meaning of later generations to find out before the big exam, and because of the problems of this unlucky child, it also reminds them that they still need some spare pen and ink, right?
So the suggestion of scolding Ganping was supported by most people, and even the unlucky child kept shouting at the big brother who scolded Ganping.
There was a carriage at the entrance of the camp, and Chi Ganping's group did not wait long before the number of people was full. Then the carriage gave a shout, drove the horses, and sent them to the outside of Chang'an City in a short time.
When they arrived at the anthology, Chi Ganping and others were immediately dazzled.
The unlucky child seemed to have forgotten his sorrow for the time being, looking at the various stationery utensils in the collection with novelty.
When there is demand, products will follow.
Among current anthologies, the best-selling items are not the written words, but the test baskets. Of course, there are also the evolved versions of the test baskets, ovens, er, test boxes.
The exquisite test box is very eye-catching. It is placed in the most conspicuous position in the store. There is also a very beautiful female receptionist who is responsible for explaining how to use it in a soft-spoken voice...
Naturally, there were a lot of people around, whether they were looking at the test boxes or the female recruiters.
Chi Ganping couldn't help but go over and take a look, and found that this test box was really particular.
The test box itself is not only painted with red paint, but also outlines the pattern of mountains and rivers on the surface. It is said to be a box, but it is actually more like a small wooden cabinet. There is a whole cabinet door on the front, and when opened, there are three drawers
.
The female recruiter opened the three drawers one by one as a display.
In the top drawer, it is like a medicine store drawer grid, divided into many compartments. Each compartment contains some food, including several kinds of pastries, dried fruits, and even bacon.
And preserves!
This makes me grin. Are you planning to hold a dinner party in the examination room?
The drawers on the second floor are more normal, containing pen and inkstones, candles, paperweights, etc. Of course, they all look like high-quality and expensive items.
This is more or less in line with the name of the test box.
The third drawer began to crooked again, and inside it was actually a small silk brocade quilt and a brocade cushion!
When the female recruiter took out the silk brocade quilt and covered her body as if she was using it, Chi Ganping seemed to hear some swallowing sounds when looking at the uneven curves on the brocade quilt...
Really...
"Why would anyone buy this thing if it's so expensive? Who came up with such a stupid idea?" The unlucky kid was standing nearby, muttering in a moderate voice, "It's enough to have a pen and inkstone in the examination room. That's it."
What's the use of such useless things? What do the merchants think? Only a fool would buy this thing!"
Chi Ganping glanced at the unlucky child on the side and didn't say anything. He just stepped back and stayed away from him. He was not the unlucky child's parent and had no obligation to teach him anything. Since the merchant made this thing
, it must meet the needs of some people. If no one really wants it, then the merchant will naturally not do it. If there are buyers, there will be sales. Isn't this normal?
You can tell at a glance that this thing is definitely not cheap.
The unlucky child obviously couldn't afford it, and then he ridiculed the person who bought it as a fool, the shop owner as well as the person who designed such a test box as a fool...
Yes, buyers, sellers, and designers are all fools, and they all need your wisdom to point them out.
Just like some people in later generations who believe that poverty is justified, because they are poor, they can steal, rob, and eat King's meals, and then wipe their mouths and feel paralyzed. The food in this restaurant is really terrible. I am really having a hard time.
, it took a lot of hard work to eat it!
Chi Gan Pingyuan originally just felt that this unlucky child was really pitiful, but now that he thought about it, he suddenly felt that he was not so pitiful after all.
If you endure it any longer, the exam will be over in two days, and you will go your separate ways...
