The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life

After Li Jin finished transcribing, he felt that he couldn't come up with any useful ideas in this stuffy environment, so he put away the things on the desktop.

Then put the two boards together on the ground, right as a bed, which can be used for rest.

He put the brush and ink back into the book basket, and put the copied answer sheet by his side.

Li Jin took off his robe, shoes and socks, and then lay sideways on the folded wooden board.After thinking about it, he put the answer sheet in the corner farthest from him to prevent him from pressing the answer sheet when he fell asleep.

The length and width of this number room are not enough for him to lie down with his legs stretched out, so he can only lie on the diagonal line of the square of the number room.

But even so, with Li Jin's height, he still couldn't lie flat and could only bow his back and bend his legs.

Li Jin learned from Pan Youfeng before that the width of the room is about four feet (1.3 meters). Fortunately, the distance between the door and the inner wall is relatively long, but it is only four and a half feet (1.5 meters).

And the wooden boards of their provincial tribute courtyard are all of the same size, about four feet long and two feet wide, and the two pieces are exactly four feet long and wide when put together.

The depth of the No. [-] room was four and a half feet, which meant that after Li Jinzhen lay down on his side, his feet still leaked out.

He got up and put on his shoes again.After all, the ground is full of dirt, and he has limited clothes to change, so he doesn't plan to change so soon.

When he first came in in the morning, he didn't have time to deal with the specific data, he just wanted to solve the problem quickly.

After all, if you live in such a small place, you can't stretch your body, and your energy must be changing day by day.

If you want to achieve satisfactory results, you have to seize the opportunity of the first two days when you are in good spirits.

However, it is now the noon of the first day, and the temperature is too high. Just sitting here quietly, sweat is gathering drop by drop.

Some fell directly from their chins and hit the plain paper on the table.

Li Jin wasn't in the mood to answer the questions, so he planned to lie down and rest for a while, but it was difficult for him to fall asleep even though he never had the habit of taking a nap.

So he opened his eyes and boredly inspected the size of this room, only to realize that the size Pan Youfeng said before could not be considered as the thickness of the wall panels.Except for a few inches of wood thickness, this room is even smaller.

But looking at it like this, he actually fell asleep, and when he woke up again, the sky was still bright.

Li Jin reckoned that he only slept for less than a quarter of an hour. After all, it was during the exam, his heart was tense, and he slept more lightly. It was difficult to sleep through the hour.

But in such a short moment, Li Jin felt that his mental state was much better.

Short breaks can indeed be exchanged for faster brain operation.

He hurriedly got up, took apart the wooden board, and began to write the draft of the third four scriptures.

At this time, Li Jin could even hear people around complaining 'it's so hot' and 'I can't write anymore', before he could say a few words, a serious voice from the inspection tour came from outside: "Quiet!"

Immediately afterwards, the door of the examinee's room that had just heard the sound was opened, and Li Jin didn't know exactly how to deal with it.

In the evening, Li Jin typed out the draft of the third Four-Book essay, and before it was dark, he listed the debate logic diagram for the first Five-book essay he selected.

After all, stereotyped essays pay attention to the succession and transition. Among them, the debate to support the examinee's point of view is very important, and it is even more important to be able to justify it.

Therefore, when Li Jin writes these questions, he will not just write a pen to discuss, but first list the regulations to support and refute his own views, and then start writing articles.

When Li Jin was enumerating the regulations, the sky was getting dark little by little, Li Jin relied on himself to still be able to see, so he was not in a hurry to light a candle.

After all, despite the fact that he is making good progress now, he has written two four-book essays in one day, and made a draft for the last four-book essay, and also wrote a logic diagram of the five scriptures.

In this way, he only had to copy the four books and write four five scriptures.

But you must know that people's energy will really deteriorate day by day. Li Jin doesn't guarantee that he can finish three five scriptures in the daytime tomorrow, so he doesn't dare to waste candles.

Pan Youfeng said that this candle will light up for two hours at most.He was unlucky in an exam before, and the candles that were distributed were even worse. After lighting it for an hour, it burned out.

Pan Youfeng said that he didn't finish answering the questions in the exam, and when he returned, his heart was ashamed.

After Li Jin put away the answer sheet and plain paper, it was already dark, and the entire number room was shrouded in darkness.

He put the boards together again, and asked the guard for a small pot of water.

The charcoal fire at noon had not completely turned to ashes, so Li Jin planned to make the best use of it and boil some water for drinking.

But the elder guard completely ignored his 'small half pot' and gave him a whole pot of water instead.

Li Jin could only add some charcoal to the fire, and after it boiled, he ate it with potatoes.

Before going to bed, Li Jin, closely followed by the guards, solved the matter of the reincarnation of the five grains.When he walked back from the latrine, he felt that smell on his body, which could not go away.

Li Jin thought, fortunately, he had eaten before then, otherwise he would have to do some mental training before he could eat potatoes.

And the elder brother guard was waiting for him just now, with an unmoved expression on his face, as if he couldn't smell those smells.

After Li Jin went back, he left most of the remaining pot of water to cool and put it in the corner of the door. If no bugs 'stumbled' into it at night, the water would still be drinkable tomorrow morning.

His charcoal fire is really running out.

As the night temperature gradually dropped, Li Jin took off two coats, wrapped one around his body first, and then put the other on.

When sleeping, it is much warmer to cover clothes than to wear clothes.

Others, though, were clearly enjoying the cool evening.Some candidates not only took off their outer robes, but also untied their middle clothes, and fell asleep with their stomachs open.

It's okay for a strong person to sleep like this for one night. Apart from having a stuffy throat when he wakes up early the next day, he can still answer the questions energetically.

Li Jin slept very restlessly all night, and woke up twice, worrying that he would sleep until noon and miss the good time to answer the paper in the morning.

Fortunately, he woke up when the sky was just flooding.

Li Jin straightened up, stretched his waist, moved his arms, and straightened his legs that had been bent all night.

He stretched for a while and checked the pot for other critters.

After Li Jin fished out a few young spiders, he didn't give up. He ate the broken steamed buns and drank the rest of the water.

His charcoal fire is only more than half of the amount left, and he has to eat at noon, evening, tomorrow morning and noon, so he must save it.

After filling his stomach, Li Jin went to the toilet again.

After returning to the number room, I started my answering process for today.

Although the question-making routines of the five scriptures are not as fragmented as the four scriptures, they test a person's depth of thinking.

Just like what Wan Yun said: "You can write this question casually by praising His Majesty, but if you want to really write something useful, you have to think hard."

If the "two" of the previous four-book titles tested the students' mastery of the scriptures, then the five scriptures are the students' assessment of whether they are suitable to be officials.

After all, after winning the imperial examination, even if he is a "reserve" of the government, although the emperor likes to be flattered, he doesn't care for others to flatter him where he can't see it.

Therefore, these reserve officers still have to write excellent practical five scriptures to have a chance to stand out.

The four five scriptures that Li Jin chose are all from different directions, namely mathematics, agriculture, water conservancy and shipbuilding.

Among them, arithmetic is closely related to the other three, water conservancy is closely related to shipbuilding, and agronomy is also related to water conservancy.

Li Jin also wanted to combine the viewpoints of the first three articles into the last article after writing the first three articles, so as to achieve a specific sublimation.

This point was not taught by others, but Li Jin figured it out by himself.

He felt that the examiner's idea of ​​giving [-] questions out of the five scriptures must be to let the students confirm their future direction and choose the corresponding related questions.

Instead of letting candidates pick four similar questions because they are good at a certain aspect, they start to debate one by one.

Of course, if you are confident enough in your ability to sophisticate, you can do this.

Wan Yun said that when he took the provincial examination when he was young, he chose four similar topics for the five scriptures that won the title of Jieyuan.

In the first question, it is good to say this first, and the second question is immediately returned to its original form, and it is not good to change it. The third question proposes a solution to the problem of the first question. The fourth question analyzes one or three Combined benefits.

Wan Yun's current evaluation of himself back then is: "I don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth. If the examiners hadn't raised their hands, I might not have passed the provincial examination."

It is indeed too risky to do so.

Li Jin chose a more moderate method to solve the problem, but because of his extensive knowledge, he could write about things that others didn't notice.

It is similar to Wan Yun's sophistry back then.

Because Li Jin wanted to correlate the answers to the four questions, it took him a long time to think about it.

It was getting dark after Li Jin finished writing two five scriptures, and this was when he did not take a break at noon.

At this time, Li Jin no longer felt sorry for the candles, and lit them up directly. Taking advantage of the clear thoughts in his mind, he used the remaining two hours to finish the first draft of the remaining two five scriptures.

In this way, tomorrow he only needs to polish the first draft, and then do the transcription.

After Li Jin finished writing the last word, the candle in front of him was only left with a circle of bases accumulated after the wax melted.

He packed up the answer sheets, blew out the candles, went to the toilet and came back, the wax oil had solidified, Li Jin broke it off the table and put it aside.

Li Jin thought, on the way to the toilet just now, he saw candles burning in many people's rooms. These people must have stayed up until they couldn't see them at all before lighting the candles.

It was also very hard work.

Then Li Jin began to sleep.

However, a 'neighbor' in the number room around him was snoring loudly. Li Jin thought he was going to suffer from insomnia for a while, but in the end, probably because he was too tired, he fell asleep after lying on the wooden board for a while.

On the third day of the first scene, Li Jin still woke up very early. After finishing all the touch-ups, it was almost noon.

At this time, only the copying work was left, and Li Jin's tense nerves gradually eased.

But after all, there are more than 2000 people participating in Qiu Wei, and not everyone can go to bed early and get up early, and accidents always come so fast.

"Ah—how did I sleep until now! I still have two questions!"

"quiet!"

"I shouldn't have stayed up so late yesterday..."

"quiet!"

It is now close to noon, and there are only about three hours before the evening room is released. If you write two questions, the time is indeed too tight.

Li Jin didn't have time to sympathize with others now, so he began to copy one of his Four Books and four of his Five Classics seriously.

That night, after leaving the tribute courtyard, Li Jin went back to the inn, had a meal, took a shower, and fell asleep with his head covered.

—he could finally sleep with his arms and legs stretched out.
