Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

As we all know, Lin Ze is quite a narcissistic person, even the occasional rough hands, he can explain 'can't help it'.

First of all, the first question is about his evaluation of himself. He is definitely not self-effacing at all.

Although it is not enough for him to boast that "Wen can set the world with his pen, and his martial arts can set the world", and he will honestly explain his shortcomings, but as long as he is good at something, he is an image of being talented and well-educated. .

After praising himself eloquently, Lin Ze was in the best state of the exam when he was in a happy mood.

Han Yunzhi had a lot of questions, not only covering various aspects of thinking and three views, but also involving policy theory, arithmetic, poetry, legal and political theory, etc. to be tested in the imperial examination, and the test was very comprehensive.

Because of the limited time, the other party did not ask for a detailed description, and only asked Lin Ze to write out the outline of the center.

This saves a lot of effort in thinking about rhetoric and polishing the pen. Lin Ze, who is used to the modern concise style, can answer very fluently. Also as a "teacher", he naturally understands that the real intention of Han Yunzhi's exam questions is not how talented he is, but how talented he is. his attitude and thinking.

In this way, Lin Ze has no scruples in answering the questions, he can write whatever he thinks in his heart, and he doesn't need to hide anything.

As a modern person, he is really not good at poetry and literature. Relying on the knowledge and memory left by his body, he can at most compose a passing poem.

This is the only point of his own ink, and the apprenticeship is also to improve this point, so he honestly wrote according to the real level, making Jiang Lao and Han Yunzhi who saw next to him frown.

But such things as arithmetic, policy, and political theory are his advantages. When it comes to analyzing the current situation in the world, is he a vegetarian with knowledge far beyond the thousands of years of the ancients?

In ancient times, the purpose of imperial examinations was to select talents who could serve the court. Those with outstanding literary talents were amazing, but unique solutions to issues such as current affairs, farming and folk customs were the best choices.

Han Yunzhi's exam questions are not very tricky, the arithmetic questions are just at the level of the college entrance examination, and the policy discussions on current affairs are also very realistic in Daji today.

Lin Ze was originally a science student in modern times, and his mathematical skills can easily handle arithmetic without any problems. When discussing current affairs, he is most afraid of being imprisoned by words.

But this moment is not a palace test, the emperor is not in front of him, and Han Yunzhi is not a person with sinister intentions. After careful consideration, Lin Ze boldly expressed his opinion.

With reference to modern knowledge, combined with the actual situation in ancient times, he answered the question of "drought in the north and flood in the west".

The problem of drought and flood is not only a problem in ancient times, it is also a big problem in modern times. However, this problem has been overcome and solved in modern times. The plan of "South-to-North Water Diversion" can be slightly modified, and moved to ancient times to apply to Daji Kingdom to become "West-to-North Water Diversion" '.

Therefore, Lin Ze's answer includes not only the idea, but also the specific implementation plan. Even the implementation of the policy will involve the trouble of using huge funds from the national treasury, and some suggestions on the economy are also given.

Of course, due to the limited time, Lin Ze's specifics only raised the key points, and many details could not be written.

But it was also enough to shock those who saw the answer.

After answering the last test question and looking at the unburned incense, Lin Ze thought for a while. Anyway, this test paper will not be circulated, so he boldly wrote down what he thought in his heart.

"The prosperity of the great land is an empty surface, the rules of a hundred years have been solidified, and the country has been closed for ten years. In the end, it is backward and buried in the long river of history..."

"If there are four ways to solve it. First, cut power and take power, this plan can find a rare weapon without bloodshed; second, integrate planning of agricultural land and open canals, and divert water from west to north to solve food, clothing, drought and flood; third, focus on commerce and communication Trade, the world will listen to all directions, and the land will flourish; Fourth, spend a lot of money on education..."

The content of a small article of about [-] characters can be described as shocking, bold in conception, and even offended some dignitaries.

However, none of the people present in the room had sinister intentions, and they were even disappointed with the secular world, and the papers would not be passed on, so Lin Ze was a little bolder.

After all, if you really worship a teacher, you will definitely get along for a long time in the future. You can’t hide your true nature after a long time. Your bold ideas of being a modern person will always be exposed by refugees. Instead of conflicting with the teacher at that time, it is better to be honest from the beginning.

It would be best if Han Yunzhi could accept his shocking ideas, but if not, Lin Ze could only regret and make another plan.

After two hours, the incense burnt out.

"Mr. Han, please take a look. Lin Ze is young and energetic. If there is anything inappropriate in the paper, I hope you will not be angry."

After the incense ashes fell, Lin Ze stopped writing and got up, and stood aside to wait for the inspection.

Han Yunzhi and Jiang Lao had also been waiting for a long time, put down their teacups, and came up to take a closer look without delay.

Seeing the test paper, the two people's first reaction was that the words are too ugly!

Although there are memories and habits left by the body, but after all, he has changed his soul. No matter how hard Lin Ze practiced during this time, he still couldn't write the good characters of his original body. The rules are neat, so that people who don't understand can't see the flaws.

For Lin Ze himself, it is very good that he, a modern person, can write traditional brush characters to this extent, but in the eyes of the ancients, he, a once famous genius, writes characters like a teenager It's pretty embarrassing.

Every time Fang Shanyuan saw Lin Ze's words and poems, Fang Shanyuan's expression was indescribable, thinking that God is still fair, it seems that Brother Lin has been self-taught at home for many years, and has achieved a rare talent, but he has been taken back. Everyone's talent...

However, Lin Ze's handwriting was not good, and his poems were mediocre, but his answers to other questions were amazing.

Although the idea is bold and many places are particularly offensive, every countermeasure and suggestion is based on people's livelihood, and it also gives specific implementation directions and key points, and some even have plans attached.

However, due to time constraints, these plans are only sketches, and detailed experiments are required to know whether they are feasible or not.

But despite this, Lin Ze's "On Paper" can also be called a masterpiece compared to those articles with high-level rhetoric and gorgeous words that only keep flattering.

Especially the [-]-word essay added by Lin Ze himself in the end.

To put it bluntly, if the other party's portraits can be used, Daji will definitely enter the most prosperous dynasty in history.

"What you wrote... Do you think it can really be realized? Do you have any specific ideas for the ideas and plans attached to the above?"

Looking at the densely packed words on the paper, Han Yunzhi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Elder Jiang opened his mouth even more, this answer was too whimsical and shocking.

"I don't know if it can be realized. These are just my personal visions for a better future. The details of the specific implementation plan must be based on the actual situation, but Lin Ze believes that daring to think and do is the biggest driving force for progress. How high is the sky? How high a person can fly..."

Lin Ze smiled, but did not tell the truth.

Now that Lao Di is sold out, how he will behave in the future, of course, he has to pay out bit by bit, so that people can be surprised and valued.

In fact, Han Yunzhi didn't expect him to be able to answer, but he was a little surprised by the answer and couldn't help asking casually. If Lin Ze could tell him the specific details of the implementation plan right away, it would be a bit frightening to think carefully.

With Lin Ze's current age and experience, it is already very remarkable to be able to write such a vision and implement the key points.

"I'll take a closer look at this test paper, you should go back first..."

Han Yunzhi's gaze remained on the rice paper, and he did not give a temporary result.

"Then Lin Ze is waiting for Mr. Han's good news."

The matter of apprenticeship should not be taken lightly, it should be carefully considered, Lin Ze nodded and waited patiently.

After delaying for an afternoon, it was almost dusk, and the host family had no intention of saving food, so Lin Ze could only bid farewell and leave. Mr. Jiang was not angry about this, and left with a smile while stroking his beard.

After the two of them left, Han Yunzhi sent his son away before looking at Lao Ou who was waiting beside him,

"Nurse, what do you think?"

"The talent of great Confucianism, the ability to assist the country. The master understands better than the old slave. In fact, the master wants to ask the old slave more, should I tell the master..."

The old woman who had been serving with lowered eyebrows raised her head at this moment, looked at the master in front of her who had watched her grow up and sighed.

Hearing the word 'Master', Han Yunzhi's eyes showed complex colors, and the breezy coldness disappeared. Although he was infected by the years, he could still see the handsome face of Mr. Moshang, and there was such a lingering strand between his brows. depression.

"I don't know, it's just this Lin Ze, I'm afraid I can't teach him, and I'm afraid no one in this world can be his teacher except him."

"The other party can only be used by the master...Master, you are an old slave who watched you grow up, and you were brought up by the old slave. The past is caused by karma, and you are the only one left in the Han family. The old slave hopes that the master can be free." After worrying about the rest of your life, not to mention that the master has made up his mind, if you can't let it go, you have to think more about the future of the young master."

The old woman tried her best to persuade her.

Han Yunzhi looked at the test paper Lin Ze answered in his hand for a long time, and finally sighed.

"Forget it, this son of Lin Ze's failure to fall outside is either a blessing or a disaster..."

**********************

There is no result in the matter of apprenticeship in just a few days.

Leaving the small courtyard of the Han family, Lin Ze invited Mr. Jiang to have dinner, had a chat alone, and then returned to Duan Wensai's other courtyard.

Now Zhang Yu's belly is getting bigger, and he often hears that it is not easy for his little brother to conceive a child. He is very worried, for fear that something will happen to him if he has been away for too long.

However, Zhang Yu's physical condition is not good, but God favors him, the belly is still stable, talking and laughing with Brother Jun in the other hospital, there is nothing unexpected.

When Duan Wensai came back in the evening, he was surprised when he heard that Lin Ze's apprentice was actually a brother, but when he heard the name Han Yunzhi, he was speechless.

The other party's talent and name when they were young, and their juniors still have heard of it. Anyway, Lin Ze doesn't plan to develop in the capital, and it doesn't matter if he worships the other party as his teacher.

"Although the Han family was convicted of copying and beheading the whole family back then, Han Yunzhi was demoted, but he is a brother and disciple accepted by Huo Donglin, a master of calligraphy. ..."

Duan Wensai is very supportive of Lin Ze's apprenticeship. After all, Lin Ze passed the imperial examination, and his brother Jun's status has also increased.

But this matter won't come out for a while, so let's talk about it.

Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and after a few days of relaxing in the county, Lin Ze had to take Zhang Yu back to Nanyang Town.

Before leaving, brother Jun was very reluctant. With red eyes, he filled Zhang Yu with a lot of medicinal supplements that were only found in the capital. Duan Wensai also found many books for Lin Ze that were helpful for the imperial examination and past examination papers for him to review. .

These things cannot be bought with money in the town. No matter how embarrassed Lin Ze was, he couldn’t bear to shirk them, so he accepted them all. Anyway, there are exchanges, so next time he delivers things here, he will just use snacks.

When he left the county seat, Lin Ze's carriage was packed to the brim, and there were also two students who picked him up by the way, Li Sheng and Guo Zian.

When these two were exchange students, they happened to get into the private school of Mr. Jiang in the county, and he happened to take them back together. The rest of the children were in other towns, so they had to be sent back to the private school by the teachers of other private schools.

Although Li Sheng and other exchange students also live in other private schools these days, unlike Zeyu private school which is completely closed, everyone is basically free to move around after class, and they can go shopping casually as long as they say hello.

The county town is much more bustling and lively than the town, and the children are at the age where they love to play and make trouble. After 5 days of being unrestrained, Li Sheng was still a little bit reluctant to leave.

But the people in the private school are eager to send them away as soon as possible.

"Let's go, let's go home with your husband, and don't come here again!"

The two teachers of Jiang Lao's private school almost said this sentence with roaring and joyful expressions, and the appearance of laughing out of demeanor made people wonder if the gentleman was crazy.

"Excuse me, what exactly did my students do to make you... well, so unwelcoming?"

Looking at the two gentlemen with haggard looks, Lin Ze couldn't help asking this question.

Although based on his knowledge of the group of monkeys under his command, he estimated that these private schools must be in trouble these days, but it seems that the situation is a little bit beyond his expectation...

In fact, it's not just flying around, the roof of the private school is almost toppled over, okay?

"Mr. Lin, we really admire the knowledge of the students of your Zeyu private school, but I would like to ask you to be more disciplined in terms of morality when you get old!"

The two gentlemen who had been tortured to a mental breakdown stared at Lin Ze, almost wanting to kill him.

Originally, they were looking forward to the exchange students from Zeyu Private School, because Mr. Jiang's description and admiration of Zeyu Private School before made people think that Zeyu should be a sacred place for educating people, and the students from Zeyu must be very outstanding.

In fact, this is indeed the case. On the first day here, as a big apprentice of Lin Zespecial who taught a small class, Li Sheng showed everyone that his knowledge was several times higher than that of his peers. Too much.

Guo Zian didn't hold back either, every time he didn't sing, he was already a blockbuster, and his performance was very good.

But similarly, the two are also very 'excellent' in other respects.

What does this other refer to specifically?

Let's start with the story of a squeamish young master student in a private school who wanted to eat roast chicken one day.

Although their private school does not have a special canteen to provide students with lunch like Ze Yu, but due to the class time, the students also eat in the private school at noon, and the meals are brought from home. Kitchen heating.

Of course, this is for students from poorer families. Those with affluent families usually have a book boy to serve them at any time. For lunch, the book boy buys them from restaurants and restaurants. The food is delicious and fresh.

One day, a young master wanted to eat a particularly famous roast chicken from a family in the county, but the book boy went late and couldn't get it.

This kind of thing happens often, but the book boy is usually a slave, and it is normal for the master to beat and scold, and no one can control it. It is useless for the private school teacher to teach the other party to be charitable. Let go of discipline.

Everyone is used to this, but the newcomers Li Sheng and Guo Zian can't stand it.

Not to mention that Lin Ze is also worried that he will teach his students too crookedly and they will have no bottom line, and instilled a lot of honest thoughts. Even what their parents taught them is not to punish the servants blindly, but to be lenient and treat others. There are rewards and punishments.

No matter how spoiled they were when they were young masters, they were always reasonable. This young master's ruthless beating is a bit bad!

Young people are passionate and righteous, so Li Sheng, who couldn't see it, pulled Guo Zian to start making troubles.

The two children walked over directly on the spot, dragged them up and threw them into the chicken cage in the backyard of the private school without saying a word.

There were more than [-] big roosters and hens in the chicken coop. They were clucking so ferociously that the young master was so frightened that he screamed and became depressed...

During the interrogation of the two gentlemen, the two fellows euphemistically called it 'classmates helping each other'.

"Doesn't Mr. Qian want to eat chicken? Are we helping him? We, Mr. Lin, often say that we can get enough food by doing it ourselves."

"Correct!"

"Is it wrong for us to be so friendly to classmates? It's so sad to be scolded for doing good deeds..."

"sad!"

The child named Li Sheng had a sad expression of 'I'm very hurt', and the classmate named Guo Zian was expressionless with facial paralysis, but nodded his head quickly.

The two gentlemen who were completely speechless: ...

The depressed classmate Qian was so frightened that he burst into tears.

"Woooo, I want to tell my dad to take care of you. My dad is the No. 2 Yayuan in the provincial examination this year. My grandfather is the owner of the largest jade shop in the county. Huh."

"Our Mr. Lin was the number one case in the provincial examination, and now he is the county magistrate's brother-in-law."

Even fighting backstage?Li Sheng was even more contemptuous, and he fought back violently.

Guo Zian nodded beside him, and said coldly, "Keep a low profile."

The two gentlemen looked at the passing people who heard the sound at the entrance of the private school and poked their heads to watch the excitement. They were in mixed feelings at the time.

If it's just that, it's fine. When a child is ignorant and has a strong sense of justice, after all, the original intention of drawing swords to help when seeing injustice is good, and the heart is kind.

But then, they saw what a scourge these new little guys were.

Because of the roast chicken, Young Master Qian and Li Sheng Guo Zian met each other, and mobilized the followers around him to play tricks and find trouble, preparing to bully the new classmate for revenge, and to show each other some color.

But are the students who came out of Lin Ze's hands vegetarian?That is absolutely impossible.

Li Sheng was worried that he couldn't find a "toy" to practice wits and courage when he came out. He was worried that if he didn't practice his skills for a few days, he would be compared with other classmates by Ze Yu, and was dragged to the small black room by Lin Ze to remake it sadly. Now it is delivered to his door 'Toys' are not for nothing.

So Young Master Qian and a group of people started what is called a miserable life of lifting a rock to hit one's own foot.

It was obviously a 'gadget' prepared for the two newcomers, but I don't know why it becomes their own experience every time. From morning to after school, the intermittent screams from the private school can be described as one after another, forming a A very rhythmic and emotional tune.

The other two classmates who went to Zeyu Private School for a one-month exchange stay covered their eyes and couldn't bear to watch.

These are actually still within the tolerance range, the most unbearable thing for everyone is...

On a dark and windy night of a certain month, two scourges from Zeyu stayed up all night. On the way to the toilet of the private school, a trap was set up all the way. Anyone who wanted to go to the toilet had to follow the trap to answer the questions.

God knows that these two half-grown children would actually know how to perform magic tricks in legends!

In fact, it’s not a serious mechanical technique, but Lin Ze often takes everyone to make some simple robot toys, or outdoor hunting traps and other relaxing games in order to exercise the students’ hands-on and brain skills when they are free. .

Even under the clamor and cuteness of the children, Lin Ze led everyone to make some physical automatic devices and chemical experiments to play.

For example, Zeyu’s private school does not need to carry water now, but presses it easily with his hands. When he is evil to the whole dog head and others, he also has new skills. He throws white phosphorus to the "waste recycling center" at night, and the faint green fire is frightening. Zhang Goutou and the others were mentally exhausted.

The novel and interesting physical and chemical knowledge makes the children very interested, and they often exercise their hands-on ability.

Therefore, there is no pressure for Zeyu's students to be able to do some serial traps, traps, and trick people now...

Although the setup is not very complicated and it is easy to dismantle, it still takes more than ten minutes. Is this something that people who go to the toilet can afford to waste?

As a last resort, when people are in a hurry and can't find the culprit, they can only admit it temporarily.

Are the brain circuits of the students from Ke Zeyu Private School the same as that of ordinary people?In the first level, I looked at the question paper written in front of me, "Why do cows fly in the sky"...

There is only one word in everyone's mind: Groove!

So the next day, a group of county students and two gentlemen from the private school almost didn't form a team to pee their pants together.

"We just watched the students in the private school in the county seat not very well-informed. They were friendly and helpful, trying to help them exercise. Who knew that they would not be able to do such a simple brain teaser..."

Hearing what the two private school teachers complained to Lin Ze, Li Sheng pouted with a particularly aggrieved expression.

Guo Zian deeply felt the same way. He used to think that the people and classmates around him were already stupid enough, but he didn't expect that there was another mountain 'tall'.

The two gentlemen who were once again despised for their IQ vented their anger completely, unable to care about it, and only asked these two little scourges to leave quickly.

"Master Lin, please take them away, please."

"..."

Lin Ze rubbed his temples and reflected. He seemed to be overdoing it when it came to education.

******

at the same time.

At the gates of other private schools, a group of teachers and classmates happily watched the new classmates who had only been together for five days leave.

"Sirs and classmates, we will think about you, and we will come to see you again when we are on weekends. Wait for us——"

Having a great time, Zeyu, who was carrying a small burden, was reluctant to part with her.

As soon as the words fell, thousands of mountains and birds flew away at the gates of private schools, and thousands of people disappeared.
