Through the ancient dark horse strategy

Ren Qifeng's acquaintance with Ye Xiaoyi from the beginning was nothing more than the words "practical in the world".

Among them, "shun, benefit, and talent" are the most important. Ren Qifeng's point of view is that "following the court" is the first, and other "benefits" and "talents" are at the bottom.

Otherwise, no matter how good the literary talent is, they will openly ridicule and insinuate that the court is unfair and corrupt.Defeated, full of resentment, no brains, dare to criticize and mirror the entire imperial court group.Isn't this a fool?

The strongest opponent in Ye Xiaoyi's eyes, "Wang Yong", was criticized as a "stupid" by this guy. Ye Xiaoyi could only give him a thumbs up and praised him: "Brother Xiu is also a strong man. It's a pity that people have eyes. I don’t know how to be talented, and I didn’t list your name in the top ten.”

Ren Qifeng was really agitated, and he snorted, "What are those rankings that are published in the market? When I go to high school, those extremely boring people will know that they are wrong!"

Ye Xiaoyi took soup, water and pastries, said goodbye to Ren Qifeng and returned to his cubicle, he knew that he had one more competitor!You have to think about strategy.

The wizard said that he didn't like to read the Four Books and Five Classics, but he did a lot of research on practical books such as "Tiangong Kaiwu" and "Qi Min Yao Shu".

"Tiangong Kaiwu" is an industrial book about manufacturing, including how to smelt iron, coal, candles, ships, cars, weapons, and fire.medicine, sulfur and other major crafts.

There are also small crafts such as how to burn bricks and tiles, pottery, salt making, sugar making, oil pressing, dyeing, paper making, weaving, wine making, seed cultivation and so on.

"Qi Min Yao Shu" is an agricultural book, including practical techniques such as planting, afforestation, sericulture, animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, livestock breeding, brewing, cooking, storage and preservation methods.

Wang Qifeng said that he had a lot of these practical science books at home, and he had summed up a set of production methods that benefited the people and the country. He also said that his ambition was to become an official in the Ministry of Industry.

Ye Xiaoyi didn't need to listen to what method he had come up with, he knew that he was a talent that the imperial court would recruit.

People's direction is right. People who are willing to study this and have basic knowledge will definitely be recruited by the court.Even if his method is not good enough, after entering the Ministry of Industry, he can learn and perfect it slowly, right?What's important is that people agree with each other.

That night, Ye Xiaoyi spent the time raising his pillow thinking about how to win against Wang Yong and Ren Qifeng...

The first round of the township examination the next day was a dictation test. This dictation test lasted for three days, and the clerks kept posting questions, so Ye Xiaoyi kept dictation.

No wonder others said that the first place in the provincial examination is the leader of the Five Classics. This posture of constantly writing silently will make his brain empty.The one who can take the first place must have memorized the Five Classics properly, Ye Xiaoyi felt that his only advantage might be the endorsement, and he was not afraid of being challenged by others.

Three days later, the first exam was closed, and Ye Xiaoyi couldn't wait to run out of the cubicle to let the air out.Damn, after being bored in the cage for three days, I didn't realize how beautiful the blue sky is until I came out.

Ye Xiaoyi took his money to the cafeteria of the Gongyuan to eat and drink. As soon as he sat down, that guy Ren Qifeng automatically leaned over: "Brother Xiwu, don't you think this year's exam questions are too biased? There are many questions. It's unlucky that you can't even come out silently as a brother."

Ye Xiaoyi smiled awkwardly: "Is it difficult? My younger brother is silent, and my hands are sore. Brother, press me?"

Ren Qifeng looked at his smile like a flower, picked up the young master's hand by accident, and loosened his fingers.Ye Xiaoyi accepted his younger brother's service with a look of enjoyment.

Ren Qifeng squeezed the young master's soft palm in his hand, he just felt strange in his heart, and he didn't know why he felt particularly turbulent.

After a while, another person came and sat next to Ye Xiaoyi.Wang Gaojun said happily: "Ye Chen, your method really works. I have answered all the tacit meanings this time, and I think I can pass the exam without the remaining two exams."

Ren Qifeng on the side asked curiously: "What method is so effective?"

Ye Xiaoyi immediately answered: "Ah, it's the mnemonic method. This guy is from my hometown, and he asked me how to memorize it before."

Wang Gaojun is not stupid, if he really wins the exam, in fact, it will not be easy for people to find out that he cheated, so he said: "Yes, this method of reciting is very magical. You can memorize a book in seven days. But after seven days, I will forget it all. I even memorized the scriptures before the imperial examination before taking the exam.”

Ren Qifeng wondered: "What method is so miraculous?"

Ye Xiaoyi doesn't know what this little bastard is talking about?However, it is estimated that he had thought up the excuse before cheating, and then said: "I don't know this magical method. He just asked me a common question. This method is understood by himself."

Don't drag me into the water.

Wang Gaojun had already figured out what to say, so he sang with his fellow countrymen: "Yes, yes, my father often worships the gods. I often dream that the gods teach me to read, and if I don't understand, I will ask Ye Chen. "

When Ren Qifeng asked about this magical method of memory again, Wang Gaojun excused it from the gods and said that it should not be passed on.

After dinner in the canteen of the Gongyuan, these scholars all exchanged information, generally saying how many things they have silently said, and how many things they still don’t know.

Ren Qifeng, who is good at talking, couldn't find a worse example from Ye Xiaoyi and Wang Gaojun, so he asked people around how many things everyone has done?When he knew that even Wang Yong couldn't keep silent, he felt at ease.

Ye Xiaoyi also felt relieved, it turned out that not all of these scholars knew the Thirteen Classics by heart.

Only I foolishly thought that everyone has this basic skill, so I just gnawed down the 60 characters.Now my scripture mobile hard drive has become a strange thing.

What Ye Xiaoyi didn't know was that there were indeed quite a few people who had the ambition to challenge the 60-word Thirteen Classics, but they couldn't bear to forget them so quickly.

These people also used to memorize every book and chapter, but they forgot the end after memorizing the beginning. When they saw the title, they knew where it came from, but they just couldn't keep silent.Because I almost forgot about it.

Only Ye Xiaoyi, a psychopath, is still reciting what he has memorized over and over again.Even though he felt that some chapters had reached the point of being unforgettable forever, Ye Xiaoyi continued to recite them.

Because he was worried that if he didn't use it for a few years, he would forget it all. As long as he hadn't been admitted to the top prize, he would not dare to stop the patience-testing job of "recovering" before the age of 20.

After passing Ren Qifeng's mouth, everyone knew that Ye Xiaoyi answered all the answers correctly, and Wang Gaojun, who had never heard of the name, was also said to have answered all the answers, and the No. 3 one who was the most silent was Wang Yong.

Suddenly two dark horses appeared, Ye Xiaoyi and Wang Gaojun both attracted attention.Ye Xiaoyi felt no pressure, but Wang Gaojun was panicked.

The second test of poetry, prose and essays was about rhetoric, and Ye Xiaoyi's main opponent in PK was Wang Yong, who had brilliant writing.

It is said that when he was studying in the academy, the head of the mountain read his articles, which made the swan geese in the sky startle and fall down.Ye Xiaoyi felt that this story was just accidental, but Wang Yong's article was really eye-catching.

In terms of poetry, Wang Yong's attainments are very high.Ye Xiaoyi studied his poems and prose, and concluded that his poems are characterized by a large time span and a large space span, giving people a magnificent momentum and a sense of everyone's demeanor.

For example, "A confidant in the sea is like a neighbor at the end of the world." It has a large space span, which can give people a sense of grandeur, while "a desolate body that has been broken for a hundred years" has a large time span, which can give people a sense of shock.

Ye Xiaoyi couldn't find a way to crack it, and he didn't have a higher talent, so let's copy his way!Use one's own way to overcome one's body, how big is the play span?Then let's see who plays well!

When composing poems, Ye Xiaoyi stretched the time axis and the space-time axis vigorously.Bigger than the span, right?You write "flying down three thousand feet", and I write "flying down ten thousand feet", let's see who has the momentum?

As for the style of "Fu", Wang Yong is characterized by colorful colors and many allusions. One of his Pavilion Fu can use seven colors, giving people a picturesque and vivid feeling.

For example, colorful colors such as "Flying Pavilion Liudan, Mountains and Greens, Green Birds and Yellow Dragons, Cold Pools, Purple Mountains, Zidian, and Green Frost" depict the beauty of the pavilions and the richness of the decoration.

As for the many allusions, such as "The precious tree of Xie's family, and the neighbors of the Meng family", "Yang Yi did not meet, but he caressed Lingyun and felt sorry for himself. Now that Zhong Qi met, why should he play the flowing water?" The heart. Ruan is rampant, how can he cry for a poor way" and so on...

Wang Yong can use as many as fifty or sixty allusions in a Fu with hundreds of words, and basically every ten words can see an allusion.The key point is that they are not piled up indiscriminately, he can still catch the upper and lower sentences!

So it's very difficult for Ye Xiaoyi to decipher his literary talent.Although his writing style has always been more sad, such as "Guanshan is difficult to cross, who is sad for those who have lost their way? When we meet by chance, we are all guests from other lands."

However, scholars in this era are all worried about Fu Xinci, and it is not certain that the examiner will be able to appreciate Wang Yong's nostalgia.What's more, he is also famous.

Ye Xiaoyi could only bite the bullet and compete with this genius for literary talent.

He studied Wang Yong's articles at home before, and decided to defeat him with the method of "Fu Sheng" Sima Xiangru.But how much can he perform at the level of consecration?Ye Xiaoyi could only work hard.

The characteristic of Sima Xiangru's Fu is to first describe a large-scale background picture, and then describe everything in detail.

The things in Fu Sheng's works are all supernatural, and they are excessive to the beautiful n-dimensional, which is very unrealistic, and is called exaggeration.People don't advocate it anymore, mainly because it has no other effect except for being gorgeous.

But this kind of complexity is still very beautiful and attractive.

For example, if Sima Xiangru wanted to mention butterflies, he would not just use the word "butterfly". Fu Sheng would write that this is a butterfly with colorful wings, and he would also describe the feathers and feathers on the butterfly.

If he wanted to write about a bird, he would also write the scientific name and color of the bird.Contrary to the freehand "poetry" style, Sima Xiangru's Fu is characterized by its tendency to be delicate and meticulous.

There are dozens of words in Fusheng's articles to describe the sound of water, such as "dandan" and "chanchan".Regarding the adjectives of forest insects, birds, pavilions, towers and pavilions, he can create a dictionary with the words he has used alone.

Ye Xiaoyi was trying his best to familiarize himself with these special words for Fu Sheng some time before the rural examination.Trying to write articles as glamorous as the saints, to embellish your own literary talent.

In the face of absolute literary talent, Ye Xiaoyi's conceptual advantage could not be reflected.Unless one's own literary talent can keep pace with Wang Yong's, the examiner can rate his own article above Wang Yong's, and others can be convinced.

After writing a poem and a fu in three days, Ye Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the Fu test.Wang Yong is not enough to worry about.

The third examination policy theory, the examination is the view of current affairs.The "practical" wizard Ren Qifeng will be a strong opponent.As for Wang Yong, if there were no accidents, that little devil should criticize the status quo as soon as he uttered it. Ye Xiaoyi was no longer worried about him.
