Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

Simply copying or expanding the strategies I mentioned, of course saves time and effort, but it is not without concerns.

One is that in order to attract the attention of the government, he left it in the form of a poem on the wall in the pavilion where people come and go. I don’t know how many people have seen it, and I don’t know how many people will remember it; The policy has been suspended and not used, and no action has been seen, which also proves its disapproval attitude.

Seeing that he had plenty of time, and for the sake of insurance, Lu Ci expounded on the top, middle and bottom three strategies quickly, and divided them into near and far according to their influence.

The best strategy is to send officials and soldiers to search for the source of water pollution and try to cure it, or to see if it is possible to use bamboo tubes to build a water supply system depending on the surrounding situation; The common people dig their own wells and provide certain subsidies for this purpose; the worst policy is to allocate water sources from Linxian County for people's use, and the farmland is replanted with crops that can withstand the water quality...

Lu Ci was full of thoughts, writing vigorously, and quickly listed them clearly and clearly.

When briefly mentioning the tap water system, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he euphemistically mentioned "it was mentioned in the poem on the wall two years ago, so I won't repeat it here" to clarify his original identity of this policy.

After he accepted the pen with satisfaction, and reviewed it several times, Yang Lu signaled that the time was up and asked someone to close the paper.

The test on the last day is the scriptures and ink meanings that are only based on memorization and do not even need to understand the meaning.

The scope of the topic is also very clear. The scriptures only come from the Analects, and Mo Yi comes from either "Spring and Autumn" or "Book of Rites". Therefore, as long as you are interested in studying literature, it is impossible to miss too much on the most basic. More points.

Of course, there are not a few people who know how to memorize back and forth on weekdays, but because of their poor on-the-spot conditions, they uneasyly omitted to write "yes" and "sincerely" at the beginning, or the quotations and annotations did not match.

As we all know, unless the boy Teke is mainly chanting scriptures, in the official tribute examinations, the attention paid to scriptures and ink meanings is generally recognized as the lowest.

It can be said that even if one gets the best "pass" in Tie Jing Mo Yi, it is impossible to make up for the shortcomings of the first two games, and it is even more impossible to turn around based on this.

Therefore, when the examination was completely over and Lu Ci walked out of the examination room with ease, those who walked in with a dark face in the morning, even if they felt that they did well in the exam, walked out still dejected.

Those who are more fragile psychologically can't help but cry, knowing that they will definitely fail the ranking.

Lu Ci carried the small bag containing the study room, strided across the corridor, and went straight to the house, unexpectedly not waiting for Zhu Shuo and the others who went out one step later.

Seeing Lu Ci walking quickly without looking back, the three of Teng Yizhong, who were exhausted, could only watch and sigh weakly, and had no energy or mood to catch up.

In the past three days, I couldn't eat well or sleep well, even in my dreams I was nervously answering questions.

Putting all your energy and mind aside, it was a great test in terms of physical strength alone.

Although they are in a mess, there are many people who are more in a mess than them. To be exact, those who can walk gracefully like Lu Ci are rare.

Most people are already hungry, tired and sleepy at this time, and want to cry.

Compared to the other two, Zhong Yuan, who also had dull eyes and limp limbs, was more tired than his body.

After all, it was the first time he had tasted such a high-intensity and difficult continuous exam since he was born in the womb.

In fact, when Lu Ci trained himself, Zhu Shuo and Liu Qishi in the past, he also wanted to bring Zhong Yuan together.

However, whenever this happens, Zhong Yuan, who is most afraid of sitting in the room and endorsing with a pen, can run faster than a rabbit.

Seeing that he couldn't be caught, and Lu Ci didn't want to make things difficult for him, he quickly gave up.

At this moment, the gap became apparent—Zhu, who had received the most training from Lu Ci, said that he still had the strength to catch up with him.

When he saw Lu Ci from a distance behind, he just walked briskly and sullenly without turning his head, and he felt a little bit in his heart, thinking that brother Lu didn't do well in the exam.

While chasing after him at a fast pace, he carefully considered his words: "Brother Yu Yu, it's just a momentary gain and loss—"

Lu Ci was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Brother Zhu, what did you misunderstand?"

Seeing Zhu Shuo's stunned face, Lu Ci couldn't help but smile, and said frankly: "I just didn't take a bath in the hot and humid three days, and I feel stinky and sticky all over my body, making me very uncomfortable...and the examination room is crowded with people. , the rancid smell was even stronger and pungent, unbearable, so I thought about going back to take a bath soon."

Although he has a cool physique with little sweat, his brushwork is a physical effort. In addition, there are countless barriers in the examination room, so ventilation is completely impossible to count on.

In the still and stuffy space, the smell of sweat accumulated on everyone's bodies for three days has turned sour, and it just doesn't go away...

On this point, I am afraid that Lu Ci, who has always been fond of cleanliness, encountered the biggest problem in solving the test.

The first day was okay, but from the second day onwards, the smell became stronger and stronger.

He used up all the peppermint ointment, and survived the horrible smell.

Zhu said that seeing it was a misunderstanding, and when he suddenly realized it, the roots of his ears couldn't help turning red.He pretended to be innocent and changed the topic: "So, it seems that there are fewer people who left the examination room today than those who entered the examination room on the third day."

Lu Ci didn't care and said, "Either he violated the prohibition and cheated and was rescued, or his physique was too poor. He fainted and was carried away." Speaking of this, he deliberately raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhu jokingly and said: " At this moment, Zhudi realizes that the way I let you run around the alley ten times a day is quite reasonable?"

If Zhong Yuan and the others were here, they would have started to tear down the stage at this moment, but Zhu Shuo nodded in agreement, and said very much: "Brother Yu Yu's words have never been unreasonable."

If he hadn't listened to brother Lu's words, he might have become one of the fainted ones.

The corners of Lu Ci's mouth twitched slightly.

No, he'll still spout nonsense on a regular basis.

During the period of waiting for someone to bring the hot water, Lu Ci told Zhu that they would not enter the house, but just lay down on the cold floor tiles at the door to enjoy the coolness, and did not want to let the tables, chairs and beds be covered. It's dirty and ruined.

When the two chatted, they tacitly refused to ask how they did in the exam, so as not to increase their worries, they just waited for the day when the exam was released.

Since the exam is over, they are still allowed to stay in the Gongyuan and cannot communicate with outsiders during the days when they are waiting for the examiners to mark the papers and release the results, but they can move around except that they cannot go near the Hengjian Hall and other places. There are still a lot more places.

When he was exhausted with other candidates in front of the examination room, he moved to the dining room hungry, wanting to get something to satisfy his hunger, and when he went back to his room to fall asleep, he saw a completely new Lu Ci, with Zhu Shuo's demeanor. Walking gracefully, a few strings were looped around her slender and beautiful fingers, and a few buns and mustaches were tied under them.

"Brother Zhu and I have already eaten, and I haven't seen you come back for a long time. I guess you are still here, so I came to look for it." Lu Ci smiled, untied the string, and each of them threw a string: "I haven't eaten well in the past few days. If so, don’t eat too much at once, so as not to overwhelm your stomach. After you’re done using it, take a shower and wash up, and get a good night’s sleep.”

Zhu said that he was holding two Kongming bowls, which contained fresh soup cooked in the kitchen, which was just enough for the three who were devouring them to eat together without choking.

The aroma of the food also completely aroused the other candidates who were still limp and motionless on the ground like dead people.

They stared enviously at the few people who ate without image but were extremely happy for a long time before continuing to eat by themselves unwillingly.

Lu Ci searched the crowd for a while, but he couldn't find his roommate Cai Qi, but he was surprised that his supplies were neatly packed and there was nothing left.

Where did people go?

He thought of the other person's unhappy face a few days ago, and guessed that maybe he fainted in the middle of the exam and was sent to the doctor for treatment.

Out of politeness, it is better to ask and visit.

If the other party was unwell and passed out somewhere, but he ignored it, not only would his own conscience be troubled, but outsiders would inevitably say that he was indifferent and indifferent, and it would not sound good to spread the word.

After Lu Ci made up his mind, he took off the clothes that were originally for Cai Qibei, and casually threw them to Yi Shu, who had the least appetite, and asked him to share with the other two. After winking at Zhu Shuo, he looked for The inspector went.

The inspector Lu Ci found happened to be the one who paid the most attention to him during the exam.

He himself was engrossed in the test questions and didn't specifically remember other people's faces, but the inspectors were very impressed with him.

Seeing him approaching with a smile on his face, the other party couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and asked with a straight face, "What's the matter? If you ask to see the boss and the others, don't even think about it."

Every year, some scholars who want to go heresy and please the boss are sent away. When they saw Lu Ci approaching, they subconsciously thought it was for this.

Lu Ci shook his head: "I just want to ask, do you know the whereabouts of that candidate surnamed Cai Mingqi? He lives in the same room as me, but he never comes out. That's why I asked."

The shop inspector's expression softened, and he said stiffly: "The one you mentioned, as early as in the first scene, was rescued for violating the ban on holding books."

Lu Ci was taken aback, but quickly realized, and said politely, "Thank you for letting me know."

The inspector waved his hand: "Go back."

When Lu Ci walked back, he was still a little bit embarrassed.

Although Cai Qi had made it clear to him before that this time would be the last try no matter what, but he did not expect that the other party's implication was to burn the boat and use any means.

For Cai Qi, if he is lucky enough to pass, it is of course his long-cherished wish fulfilled; and if he fails to be punished, the punishment for the first offense is nothing more than one stroke or two. Itches.

As for the damage to his reputation, from Cai Qi's point of view, he may lose face when he fails the exams repeatedly.

When Lu Ci returned to his friends, Zhu Shuo was the most sensitive, and immediately asked how the situation was.

After Lu Ci briefly told about Cai Qi's violation of the prohibition and being expelled from the examination room, the four people who were well fed and drunk, their ears trembled when they heard it, and they suddenly became energetic.

Before everyone could speak, Zhu said quietly and decisively reminded: "Soup!"

The other three shut their mouths in unison.

After all, drinkers are soft-spoken, and thinking of Tang Zhien, they could only sigh resentfully and not join the fight.

Only Lu Ci was not in the mood, and asked strangely: "What charades are you playing?"

Zhu said that as a victor, he naturally smiled and did not speak.

When the five of them went back to their houses, Lu Ci saw Zhu Yue who had packed all his bags neatly at some point and was waiting in front of his room with a shy expression on his face, and finally understood, dumbfounded: "Come in. "

Zhu said that he couldn't help laughing, and without hesitation, he occupied the half that Cai Qi only occupied for a day.

Lu Ci didn't avoid him, and while directly changing into his bed clothes, he asked casually, "Zhong Yuan, does he have any objections?"

Zhu said shaking his head: "No."

Although Zhong Yuan was abandoned by Zhu Shuo, he was obviously very happy to have a room to himself.

As soon as Zhu said that he left, he simply put the two beds together, and lay down on it happily by himself, sleeping sideways.

It's strange to say that even after taking the three-day exam, everyone is very tired, even Zhu Shuo, who was before entering the door, felt the same way.

But when he really lay down, he couldn't fall asleep.

He carefully rolled over a few times, and then he heard Lu Ci's voice asking him with a smile: "Why is Brother Zhu unable to sleep?"

Zhu said that he stopped in embarrassment: "I'm so sorry for making a fuss about brother Yu Yu."

Lu Ci laughed and said, "The candidates in the cubicles in the examination room were snoring like thunder, and I'm going to sleep soundly. This little movement of yours won't bother me."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Shuo couldn't help but think of the embarrassment that he was forced to listen to the whole process when the candidate next door had a stomach problem during the first exam.

At that time, it was difficult, but now I just feel it is interesting.

Just the next moment, Lu Ci sighed softly.

The string in his heart was tensed in an instant, and he asked in a low voice, "Brother Yu Yu, why are you sighing?"

Lu Ci was slightly disappointed: "The weather is hot, and I want to eat ice cream. It is clearly separated by a wall, but I am not allowed to buy it. I am heartbroken."

Zhu said: "..."

The author has something to say: Notes:

I didn’t find the grading standards of Tie Jing and Mo Yi, but I found Dayi’s (that is, the combination of the two after the fourth year of Qingli, similar to the fusion of the two, but more flexible test subjects in answering questions).

Divided into four categories: 'upper', 'secondary', 'rough', 'no', among which 'upper and second' are common.If you pass four of the ten questions, you will be qualified ("Song Huiyao Compiled Draft·Election" [-])

The examination of poetry and prose theory is divided into five grades, namely 'last time', 'middle upper', 'middle time', 'lower upper' and 'next time'.

The fifth class is considered to be shallow in arts and sciences, which is unqualified.The top four qualify and enter the ranking. "Song Huiyao Compiled Drafts · Election Chapter" Seventh One
