[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

As soon as he entered the examination room, Wang Yue heard Jun Bowen's voice: "Ban'er, here!"

Wang Yue looked up and saw Jun Bowen standing in front of the seat waving to him, so Wang Yue put down his thoughts of finding a seat and went to Jun Bowen's place first.

"Ban'er, sit here!" Jun Bowen picked up the basket from the seat in front of him, and said, "How about the seat I took for you? Not bad, right?"

"Isn't there a seat number?"

Jun Bowen explained with a chuckle: "This number is only for coaxing those who don't know anything! This seat can be occupied by yourself. I came early, so I just took a side seat, and it's facing the sun. It will be dawn in a while, and as soon as the sun comes out, it will be very warm here."

Wang Yue knew that Jun's family was a scholarly family. Their family took many imperial examinations and knew the details of the family inside. He must have told Jun Bowen some precautions before, so Jun Bowen hurried to enter the venue early to take a seat.

At this time, Wang Yue felt a little fortunate in his heart. Fortunately, he had a good relationship with Jun Bowen before, so Jun Bowen helped him occupy a position.

Although such a good position will not play a decisive role, if you sit in the shade on the side in such a cold day, it will definitely affect your performance in the exam.

Wang Yue was also polite, and thanked Jun Bowen with a smile, and the two sat down respectively.

The two of them did not talk about exam-related topics, lest they would be nervous, but chatted casually.In the entire examination room, there were countless people calling for friends and arguing with each other. It was noisy and noisy. It was not like a serious examination room at all, but like a busy city.

Not long after, all the candidates were seated, and the chief examiner came over and said some polite words, nothing more than asking everyone to take the exam well, strive for a good result in the exam, and serve His Majesty in the future, and warned everyone severely not to cheat in the exam, otherwise they will be punished severely.

Then the yamen guards patrolled the venue with sign lights. At this time, someone held a test question board for tour display, and someone shouted: "The exam begins!"

Afterwards, someone shouted: "The first question, if it's swaying, the people can't name it; if it's towering, it's successful, and if it's brilliant, it has articles."

After everyone heard it, they quickly took notes and wrote down the questions. There were three questions back and forth.After Wang Yue wrote it down, he waited until the yamen servant who was in charge of displaying the question board came up to him, matched the questions he had written down with the words on the question board and found that there were no mistakes before he concentrated on answering the questions.

The first question is the title of the Four Books, which is quite satisfactory. It is taken from the famous section of Confucius praising Yao in "The Analects of Confucius Tabor". The original meaning is to praise Yao's virtues and achievements, and the people's praise of him.Therefore, when answering questions, you must praise the achievements of the ancient sages and sages, point out the achievements of Yao and the virtuous ministers he valued, and then praise the wise and powerful monarchs of the current dynasty. etc.

So this question is just for flattery. Basically, everyone can answer it. It is a basic question and a sub-question. There is no gap in this kind of question.

The second question is the Five Classics question, and the title is: "Don't listen to nonsense, and don't use the advice of Fuxun." This sentence comes from "Shangshu·Da Yumo", which means that words that have not been verified are not credulous, and they have not been consulted. The strategy of public opinion is not to be used lightly.

After understanding the meaning of the words, it is very easy to get points. First, explain this sentence with the words of the sages, and then give a few examples of the sages. By the way, I will express my understanding of this sentence and how I will act in the future Will follow the admonition of this sentence like empty words, points can be easily obtained.

Compared with the simplicity of the first two questions, the third question is a bit more difficult, "there are many who live, and few who eat".

This question is very insidious, and the question is hidden. Fortunately, the content in Wang Yue's book is very familiar, so I can see it all at once. This sentence comes from "University". The original sentence should be "so a gentleman has The Dao must be obtained by loyalty and trust, and lost by arrogance. There is a Dao for making wealth. Those who live are many, those who eat are few, those who eat it are sick, and those who use it are comfortable, then wealth will always be enough. Those who are not benevolent get rich with their bodies. There is no one who is benevolent at the top, but not righteous at the bottom. Those who do not have good righteousness will not end their affairs, and those who do not have treasury wealth are not their wealth." The county magistrate must be On purpose, if you don't know the whole sentence, it's easy to get confused and answer indiscriminately.

This sentence means that if there are no vagrants in the country, the number of people engaged in production will increase; if there are no unrealistic official positions in the court, the number of people who depend on the government for food will definitely decrease; if the various stages of agricultural production are not delayed, farmers will naturally be diligent in production; live within their means , financial managers can take it easy.

In fact, this sentence expounds the Confucian political ideal of a well-off society, which also involves how to govern the country and increase national wealth.

It's just that everyone knows this ideal, and anyone can say a few words, but it's hard to answer it well, especially hard to be unconventional.

Of course, if it is in the general examination or palace examination, Wang Yue can fully explain the specific measures. Although he is not good at financial management, but modern information is so developed, Wang Yue still knows some modern financial management concepts under his influence. One or two clarifications on the rules of financial management in this era can stand out from the crowd of candidates.

But now it's just a county test, and it doesn't need to be so in-depth.But compared to those old-fashioned Confucian scholars, Wang Yue's answer can be regarded as unique.

The last question is the test post poem, the title is "Yinyin Xiamu Sings the Oriole", five characters and eight rhymes, official rhymes are limited, and the square is used.

The title comes from Wang Wei's "Ji Yu Wang Chuan Zhuang Zuo", the original sentence is "flying egrets in the desert paddy fields, yin and shady summer trees singing orioles". He Chengti is to separate the words used in the proposition into the first and second couplets, so Wang Yue quickly wrote the first two sentences: "Long summer with thousands of Zhang trees, dense shade with a hundred singing orioles. The double breasts are yellow like embroidery, The whole area is green."

After solving the problem and accepting the problem, the rest will be very easy. After thinking for a moment, Wang Yue took up a pen and wrote down the next few sentences: "The leaves are dark for a long time, and the branches are high and the sound is late. Sitting in the rain. Sitting like a cloud cover mica, singing can fight Xueer. A good voice is hard to sing, and I have never known the scorching scenery. Yangliu Sanyi Road, when cherry is in April. Plaguing the sentiment, I write the poem in the painting."

After reviewing it carefully, Wang Yue checked the three articles he had written before to see if there were any taboos or inappropriate words, and revised a few words. After confirming again and again, Only then did the draft paper be put down.

By now it was noon, and the sun had risen high, shining warmly on his body.

In comparison, those candidates sitting in the shadows were more difficult. Wang Yue noticed that many candidates were rubbing their hands and stamping their feet. At this time, Wang Yue was more grateful to Jun Bowen.

Wang Yue cleaned up the desk, and took out the prepared snacks from the basket, but the snacks had been crushed by the yamen servant in charge of the search, and they were barely edible.

Wang Yue lost her appetite when she saw the dim sum that had turned into powder, but she didn't care about being particular about it at this time, so she forced herself to eat a few mouthfuls, at least as a cushion, drank a few more mouthfuls of water, and filled her stomach half full .Only then did Wang Yue put the things back into the basket, spread out the rice paper, polished the ink, and began to write carefully stroke by stroke on the draft paper.

At this time, some people have already started to hand in the papers, and those county magistrates who handed in the papers early will stay and ask a few questions. Noticing this phenomenon, many people speed up their hands, probably to make a good impression in front of the county magistrate .

Wang Yue was not in a hurry, he quietly copied his essay, checked it several times, and waited until the peak period for submission of papers passed before getting up.

Since Liu Zhixuan wanted to praise this child, he naturally paid close attention to him. Seeing that he finally handed in the test paper, he called him to the front and asked someone to take his test paper and check it in his hand. Seeing this, his heart became active again. point.

Originally, Liu Zhixuan thought that this child would be released by his teacher to take the exam, and he would definitely be able to pass it, but it would be difficult to stand out from the crowd of candidates, but it doesn't matter, the last few rounds of the county exam can be skipped Written test, and the county magistrate interviewed in person, then he will change the next few tests to interviews, put some water on the kid, and excuse that he is young, so it is not difficult to give him a case.

But the premise is that the child's level can't be too bad.

Unexpectedly, he still underestimated this child. As soon as he saw it, the handwriting made people have a good impression of him. Although the child's wrist strength is weak, the handwriting is still a bit weak, but the body has changed. It is the most rare thing to have a bit of character. As long as this child grows up, if he can practice hard, he will definitely become a master of calligraphy in the future.

Skip the handwriting, and look at the content is also extraordinary.

The most basic question review is correct and well-organized, which is naturally enough, while the higher-level arguments are novel and the content has something to say. It is also very prominent, and it can definitely be among the best in the essays of all candidates.

"Master Li, take a look?"

The academic officer took the test paper with a smile but did not read it right away, but said to the county magistrate, "Looking at the expression on your lord's face, I'm afraid this article is extremely well written, but I don't know which school this examinee belongs to?"

"Who cares about his family, as long as he is from a good family and has outstanding knowledge, you and I can be promoted, why bother?" Although he said so, the county magistrate still opened the paper that said the candidate's family situation. Zhi, looking at it this way, it's incredible, "I didn't expect that Wang Yue is also a son of an official family!"

"Oh? This is not like it!"

Not to mention that the clothes on Wang Yue's body are just ordinary. If it is considered good in an ordinary family, it will be too shabby if it is placed among the official children. Besides, if there is any official child in the county who can be eight years old He came to take the exam, how could he not know?

"Don't you know if you look at it?"

Seeing that the county magistrate was still trying to keep a secret in front of him, the academic official became more curious. He took the piece of paper in the county magistrate's hand and looked at it. As the county magistrate said, although Wang Yue's father was just a A farmer, his grandfather is also a commoner, but his great-grandfather is an official of the imperial court, a doctor of the household department of the fifth rank, and in charge of the Qingli Department in Yunnan.

The Ministry of Cleaning Officials in Yunnan looks inconspicuous. After all, Yunnan is a famous barren land. Taxation is far worse than that of rich and prosperous villages in the south of the Yangtze River. But that is just the opinion of ordinary people. Anyone who knows a little about the responsibilities of officials in the Ministry of Households will know this. The Ministry of Cleaning Officials in Yunnan should not be underestimated.

The Department of Cleaning Officials in Yunnan not only needs to manage the income and expenditure of Yunnan Province, but also manages the tariffs of the national water transport and customs.

"I just remembered, it turned out to be his house."

Liu Zhixuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Master Li is familiar with the situation in the county, so I wonder if you can explain it to me."

"My lord is interested, and my subordinates will naturally do their best, and let them speak slowly.

The author has something to say: the first question and the test post poem were searched on the Internet, and the middle two questions were made up by myself. Just take a look and don't take it seriously! (?????)
