"Huh?" Gao Yaochen's reaction was so intense that Liao Qingge was startled and couldn't help but become a little suspicious. He looked at it suspiciously and asked hoarsely: "Master Gao, although the gate is closed and it is forbidden to go out, you can't help eating. You have three meals a day.
As the prefect, what's wrong with me taking someone to see the school inspector?"
"As for the fraud, it has to be caught on the spot. If things go wrong, who will plead guilty?"
Gao Yaochen knew that he had been a little anxious just now, and he regained his composure in an instant, and said: "Master Liao, I'm not saying that we won't investigate, but we have to consider the impact."
"The provincial examination is a national talent promotion ceremony. It is related to the lifeblood of the country. Thousands of students in the province are among them. Just listen to a subordinate's statement without distinguishing the truth or falsehood, and then start a fight. If there is a commotion and the examination room is shocked,
Even if the investigation is true, I am afraid that I will be dismissed from my post and move thousands of miles away. Mr. Liao, you must be cautious!"
This is reasonable. It took fifteen years of hard work to earn this black gauze hat, and the ideal of making meritorious deeds and becoming a wife and son in the future. Once it is wasted because of this thing, it is indeed not worth it.
But Liao Qingge had a headstrong and upright temperament. Once he became suspicious, he refused to give up and asked, "What about Master Yi Gao's opinion?"
Gao Yaochen smiled and thought of something to say in an instant: "This matter is very serious. I have thought about it over and over again and feel that it must be investigated, but I cannot be rash."
"We can't startle the examination room and disturb the students' answer sheets. After all, they have studied hard for many years and the whole family is full of expectations - so at midnight on the third day, when the examination is over and we are really relaxed, we will go in and attack. If there is fraud, we will
It can still be checked.”
"Before, Mr. Liao could send extra people to surround Gongyuan and not allow people to come in or out. If food was delivered, it would be strictly inspected. The most important thing is that even if the school governor asked about it, he would have an explanation - Fucheng wanted to give Gongyuan more.
There is nothing wrong with layers of protection.”
"What do you think?" Gao Yaochen asked with a smile.
Liao Qingge thought about it over and over again and realized that it was indeed a good idea. He looked around and said, "What Mr. Gao said makes sense, let's do it according to this!"
When Liao Qingge made detailed arrangements, Gao Yaochen was free and ordered his subordinates: "Go out immediately and notify the young marquis and Supervisor Zhao."
"Yes!" The servants who followed him ran out quickly.
Gongyuan
It was getting brighter. After eating a piece of meat pie and drinking water, there were guards in the examination room delivering test papers from dormitory to room. When it came to the provincial examination, everything was very orderly. Any contact between the examiner and the candidates had to go through the guards, and no one was allowed to do so.
Talk privately.
The exam question paper was packed in a sealed envelope. When Su Ziji took it out and looked at it, he sighed secretly.
"Sure enough, the provincial examination does not have the basic skills of poems, poems, scriptures, and ink meanings that are used in the county and government examinations. They are all about the classics and meanings."
There are 400,000 words in total in the Four Books and Five Classics, and 200,000 words need to be memorized. For simple basics, as long as you work hard, you can pass the memorization. But the mastery of the meaning of the classics cannot be obtained by reading hard. You must have talent, a master, and even
Must have experience.
It can be said that private school education in the countryside can only produce talented people at most, so county schools and government schools are built for further study.
"Volume 1, On the List of Subjects."
The so-called subject list is the basic format of official documents in this world. Writing various basic official documents according to the given events - you can't learn it at all if you don't go to county school or government school.
"Volume Two, History and Ce."
"The third volume discusses the Five Ways of Classical Meanings, the most important thing."
"There are a lot of exam questions, and time is very tight!" Su Ziji looked at the exam questions, made an estimate, and couldn't help but shake his head.
It would be difficult to adapt to the exam without going through the problem-solving tactics or training thousands of times a day. It is no wonder that many students who take the provincial exam for the first time often cannot adapt to the intensity of the exam and suffer physical and mental collapse.
After reviewing the questions, Su Ziji smiled and said: "The essence of the various subject lists is the same as the basic skills of poetry, scriptures, and inscriptions. They are the basic skills of official documents."
"If you haven't studied it before, or if you don't study it well, it will be very difficult to write and full of mistakes and omissions. If you master it, it will take almost no effort to write. Fortunately, I am still proficient."
Su Ziji devoted himself wholeheartedly to it. To be cautious, he still used a draft first. There were seven official document formats in total, and he finished it in just a few strokes.
I checked it carefully and found that there were no errors, so I logged in to the official paper.
I blew on the ink and saw that it was completely dry, so I folded it and put it away.
"The second volume is about history and policy."
"History is a comment on history, and argument is a comment on what is happening now. It can be said to be a comprehensive account of the past and the present."
"Another special score-raising question." Su Ziji raised his eyebrows and understood the official's intention.
Books have their own golden houses, and books have their own beauty. Reading can be said to be the only way for a poor family to break through the social class. Therefore, most families with a little money support their children and grandchildren in studying.
However, the imperial court only needs one or two hundred vacancies every year, so most people have to be screened out.
"Official documents are based on basic office skills. You can't choose a scholar who doesn't know anything."
"The second course of history and policy is to test basic decision-making and management."
"It's okay to say that history has been determined. The main thing is to stick closely to the official loyalty and diligence. The word "loyalty and diligence" cannot be taken off the topic. Policy is about how to do things."
"I only shout, usually stand up and talk about my heart, and when I am in danger, I die to repay the king. I am afraid that I will show my cowardice and ugliness in my policy."
"Just, are you asking about ways to control the river?" Su Ziji was really surprised. He remembered that the same question was asked last time, and he thought of the rain and floods in the south, and couldn't help but frown.
However, there is no need to think too much at this time. Su Ziji does not have much practical administrative experience, but he has read relevant discussions in his previous life, which are all experiences summarized by later generations. At this time, he only needs to use one or two.
"Indeed, just one or two will suffice. The most important thing in the imperial examination is the five principles of classics and meaning."
"If there are stupid people who think they are smart and make great achievements in history, covering up the meaning of the scriptures, they may be classified as dirty officials who only do things but do not get promoted."
It is never easy for professionals to get promoted. This is an ancient and modern theorem.
Moreover, this kind of ability to do practical things is the most susceptible to jealousy, so it is not suitable to be sharp. As long as you show that you have the potential to do practical things and are not a clumsy person who talks about your heart.
Su Ziji had this experience, and he naturally grasped the theme very accurately. He also learned the Four Books and Five Classics to level 12, and gradually understood the so-called principles and principles.
Novices often quote scriptures and pile up rhetoric. This kind of thing can only survive in the government examination (scholarship), and will be eliminated in the provincial examination (juren).
Throughout history, there were many cases of young people who were selected as scholars, but failed to pass the examination in their lifetime, because they simply never turned this corner.
The most important thing in writing an essay is conciseness and refinement of the writing. If it reaches the point where adding a word is too cumbersome and subtracting a word to convey the meaning is inaccurate, then you are in the realm of Jinshi and Hanlin.
It should be in line with the topic (not digressing from the topic), be in line with the Dao (conform to the Four Books and Five Classics and the official purport), quote the rhyme (quote the scriptures and allusions are not fabricated), and be truthful and well-written (no word more and no word less).
Su Ziji was in a trance, as if he had some enlightenment, and seemed to have made a step forward in the Four Books and Five Classics. At this time, he didn't have time to examine it carefully, and he wrote thoughtfully. It was already noon when he finished the draft of the two questions.
Suddenly feeling exhausted, I quickly tore up two meat pies and ate them.
