Chapter 198 The Secret of the Scientific Research Over the Years
"All students must know that today's lecture is just a routine for scientific examinations. Confucian classics will only be discussed when it is involved. Hope you understand."

This opening remark is also capricious.But that's how the plan was made, Luo Yan couldn't just crook the building by himself.

"Jinshi is nothing more than five current affairs policies, and adding poems and prose. If you don't care about the volume, if you look at the scientific examination questions over the past few years, except for the first scientific examination in the fifth year of Wude, the various regulations are not clear. Since the sixth year of Wude In the beginning, there were no restrictions on current affairs and policy topics over the years, but only poems and prose have restrictions on rhythm and topics."

"Poetry and fu are all about accumulation, so it's inconvenient to say more today. Only the current affairs policy, although the topic is not limited, is just limited. Current affairs are the major events of the country in recent times. If you want to discuss current affairs, you should be a prophet of the world. And the affairs of the world, then use them It is important to be born in Li. Don’t you hear that the elders of the desire tree must first consolidate their roots. In the six years of Wude, five people were elected, and the five current affairs policies all mentioned Mayi. For example, the people in Mayi refused to vote for the Turks. , Gao Manzheng voted for the Tang Dynasty, this kind of approach is based on events, debates on rituals, and governance on policies. This is the same way.”

After finishing this passage, Luo Yan read the five articles from memory one by one.Such a memory almost stunned the scholars present.This is an article from four years ago.Not to mention that the category is biased, and there are five articles in a row, and the partial articles are fluent and not fake.

Even those masters were a little surprised at the moment.They have been teaching full-time for many years, and the scientific research articles are naturally taught to the students.They have also taught these model essays, but it has been too long, and they only have a vague impression.But being reminded by Luo Yan like this, I really remembered it.

"Current affairs policy must not only be beautiful in words, but must have something to say. There is an article here, which is the theory of scholar science and policy in the seventh year of Wude. In April of that year, the Supreme Emperor promulgated the law of mediocrity, and adopted a one-size-fits-all approach. .The scholars of the present generation, who are the first in the scholar family, refuted the mediocre method as worthless because of the different levels of fertility in different fields and the different yields of crops planted at the same time. Then he put forward his own ideas, based on Ding Words are used as the basis for taxation. Although this method is too radical and has not been adopted, what he said really needs to be taken seriously by the court. Therefore, the Supreme Emperor hand-picked this person to be the first."

Seeing that some students didn't believe it, Luo Yan didn't hide it, and recited this article.The level of policy theory in the scholar department is generally very high, and many of them point directly at the shortcomings of the current dynasty.It will not be made public unless necessary.Only when Luo Yan read it out at this moment did anyone believe it.However, some people seem to be eager to try. Luo Yan also warned: "Don't think that this is a shortcut to the election. This method requires familiarity with the government, and at the same time, there must be specific and feasible methods. One bad thing is to attack the government. Although Guochao will not be punished for his words, but you should not use this method lightly."

Luo Yan's voice was a little harsh when he said this.Opportunity is always the enemy of scientific research. Today he said this because he hoped that someone could make some suggestions for the government that their ministers would not dare to say.However, if someone tries to profit from it, Luo Yan will never tolerate it.

"There are many similar examples. If you have time, you might as well check it yourself. Back to the topic, this year's scientific examination, the most valued by the officials are two things this year. The famine in Guanzhong and the severe drought in Shandong You must know that drought and flood are the number of days, but Shengli can still save himself. You all know that the method of liquidation is two ways to prevent natural disasters, but if there is a severe drought in a certain place for several years, what good strategy do you have?"

What Luo Yan said made many people nod repeatedly.They have personally experienced the famine in Guanzhong, although the price of rice has dropped a lot since the imperial court began to release grain.But until now, the price of the bucket of rice and silk is still lingering.But if, as Luo Yan said, the natural disaster continues for several years, the liquidation method will really be useless.At this time, if he could come up with a more clever trick to deal with such a disaster, he would definitely be appreciated by the examiner of Zhi Gong Ju.

What Luo Yan meant was to use this method to brainstorm and see if he could find a way to deal with the locust plague next year from these people.As long as one of these people can think of a reliable method, he can pass this middle school.At that time, I can take advantage of this and let the courtiers consider this issue carefully.

Seeing the pensive looks of Zhu Sheng, Luo Yan knew that his plan was half successful.

Allowing these people to think for about half a moment, Luo Yan took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and continued: "Besides, there are strategies to pacify the Turks, to settle the southern barbarians, and so on, all of which need to be carefully considered by you. With a good strategy, no matter whether you are in the middle or not, you can also step into the official career with the strategy in hand."

These words have aroused the interest of many people.Luo Yan's meaning couldn't be more obvious, if you have a good method, if you are not qualified to take the imperial examination, just come to me.Up to the last sentence, it is a guarantee, as long as it is effective, it will allow you to enter the official career.Luo Yan is not bragging, Luo Yan knows exactly how much Li Shimin wants to conquer the Turks.

Although he was stopped by many people from conquering the Turks a while ago, he didn't see that there were not only a few warriors practicing riding and shooting in the inner palace, on the contrary, more people were recruited from various guards to enter.

Therefore, Luo Yan is extremely confident. Li Shimin would be so excited that he could not sleep if he could see a more pragmatic strategy to pacify the Turks.

Ignoring the private clamor of the scholars, Luo Yan continued to talk about other things: "The above three are the most common and practical ones according to Shiwu Policy. As for the remonstrances, you don't know what His Majesty does, so naturally you don't need to." More to say. At this point, I would like to say one last thing, current affairs policy is the policy theory of the government, words should not be flashy, words are more important.”

After talking about the current affairs policy, looking at the time, more than an hour has passed.Luo Yan then began to teach the selection rules he knew.

"After a rough selection of the scrolls, about [-] articles were selected. The rules here must not only be pragmatic, but the diction must be gorgeous, and the scrolls must be clean. In the ninth year of Wude, Zhao Shiyan, a scholar in Cangzhou, left the ink on the scrolls before drying Hastily handed in the papers, so that the papers were dirty and messy, and eventually they were dismissed. Later, the officials of the Ministry of officials reviewed them. After reading them carefully, they found that his talents and learning were enough to be ranked first. However, it was a foregone conclusion at this time. In desperation, this official Relying on his own reputation, recommending him to be an official, even today, is no more than the first class. You should take this once as a lesson, and don't be too careless."

It has been a year since what Luo Yan said.But because of this matter, the Ministry of Officials felt that it would be a bit of a joke to be recommended as an official after being deposed, so although there was compensation, there was no rumor.At this moment, when Luo Yan told it carefully, all the living beings knew that there was such a story, and they sighed for a while.Of course, with lessons learned, one will naturally take precautions.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Alas, no wonder I was dismissed last year. Thinking about it carefully, there are a few ink dots in my scroll."

"Yeah, don't be so impetuous this year. You must be more careful and make the curls more beautiful. Even if there is no benefit, at least there will be no harm."

"Then Zhao Shiyan is really pitiful. I don't know how many years it will take to go from outside to inside."

……

After waiting quietly for a while, Luo Yan said: "In the second round, we will pick out the middle ones from the hundreds. The time spent is more than double that of the previous one. Once you read it, sort it again according to the content and writing style of the added poems. During this process, it often takes several days to think over and over again. Therefore, this period of time is the time for you to submit the volumes.”

This is another secret.Many people think that Naga Poetry and Fu will come in handy when ranking.actually not.The level of the selected one hundred papers is almost the same, and the current affairs policy is nothing more than those points. As officials of the Ministry of Officials, they naturally have a way.In the assessment at this moment, those who can catch the eye, unless they are particularly outstanding, will be directly selected, otherwise they will still compare poetry and prose.

Ignoring the surprise below, Luo Yan broke the news: "I don't know how the rankings of the scientific examinations were carried out in the past few years, but the rankings of the imperial examinations last year were approved by His Majesty's royal pen and Zhu Zhu. Even the commissioned posts were also requested by the Ministry of Officials. His Majesty, and reported to the Ministry of Secretary-General, this is the list."

This is no longer a simple secret, who doesn't want his articles to be valued by Li Shimin.Li Shimin is also famous for his liking for literati and refined scholars. Think about the Eighteen Bachelors of the Literature Museum back then, and the person who is giving lectures in front of him is a disciple of the Bachelor of Literature.Thinking about their treatment, these people's hearts instantly became hot.

Seeing that the students below were a little noisy, and the voice was really loud enough to affect his speech, he frowned and said: "If you can't bear the surprise in your heart, you might as well leave here. I have studied for many years and cultivated the ability of self-cultivation. Are you a dog?" After such a reprimand, they calmed down, but many people were still flushed, obviously excited.

"If you think this is the end, then I don't need to go on. You must know that this book is also a subject of great knowledge. You have lived in Jinzhou for a long time and don't know the way of Chang'an. Do you want to stay on the Suzaku Street and see you?" Just stop the sedan chair?" Luo Yan said sarcastically: "The purpose of passing the scroll is more to gain the appreciation of the court officials. Even if you don't win this year, becoming the servants of important officials in the court is also a way out."

"I think that the officials of the court, Xiu Mu, will all participate in some literary meetings and the like. This is your chance. Remember, you must never ask you about the results of the scientific examination. This is a taboo. Officials have their own positions If you are really talented and learned, someone will take the initiative to find you."

There is nothing more to say next.Some things in the scientific examination, Luo Yan explained in such detail that it has already become a threat to scholars in other places.The rest of the time is left to them to chat with each other.Anyway, it was already noon, and it was time to eat.
