Chapter 267 B-word question (asking for 300 monthly votes!)
More than 50 students from Qingtan Academy specially booked the Hongbin Inn, which is located not too far to the east of Gongyuan.
In fact, since January, the inns, temples, and vacant houses around Gongyuan have been occupied by students who arrived early.
with with me with us?
Now everyone knows that Cheongtan Academy is the number one academy in Sunchon and even in Northland. If any of these dozens of students become number one, number two, or third in this subject, there will even be a cabinet minister among these scholars in the future. Chief Assistant, then this inn will become famous, and it will not have to worry about business for decades.
Even if my children and grandchildren inherit this family business, they can also brag about it. In the spring of the fifth year of Yonglong, so-and-so lived in a certain room in a certain courtyard of my inn. What happened to him later? This is definitely worthy of the title. With an honor and capital that can be passed down to the family.
The academy has rented out three large courtyards of the inn. Basically, there are two or three-person rooms. Instead of sleeping in large bunks like in the academy, after all, you have to maintain a relatively good rest state in the past few days to prepare for war.
Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi lived in the same room.
Taking Feng Ziying’s words as an example, having the luck of a player who has the strength to hit the top three might help her performance in the exam.
"Ziying, don't be so nervous. It's normal to fail the exam. Brother Yu is ten years older than you. This is the third time Brother Yu has taken this subject. Brother Yu failed in the first two times, but he is not discouraged. .”
Sitting in the chair, he actually held a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand and flipped through it. The practice of state affairs seemed very calm and calm.
"Brother Jun Yu, how can I compare with you? You are very confident, but I don't have any confidence in my heart." Feng Ziying laughed, "Actually, I also know that I have little hope in this subject, but what if? What if I perform well?" It’s very good, the test questions are exactly what I am most familiar with, and the papers are in line with the preferences of my fellow examiner?”
Lian Guoshi laughed dumbly and shook his head: "You don't have to belittle yourself. Although you lack some enthusiasm for Jingyi, current policy theory is the winner in the Spring Festival Competition. Well, what you said is not unreasonable. It depends on the test questions and You're an examiner. As for your performance, Brother Yu doesn't think that's a problem. Your performance has always been stable, even excellent. Brother Yu's only worry is that the examiner is too harsh and has too high requirements for your words and sentences. But when you say this, Brother Yu feels hopeful. It’s really not small.”
"Then thank you Brother Jun Yu for your kind words. I feel that Brother Jun Yu is in the best condition now. Well, it seems that he is promising for the first grade." Feng Ziying also respects this senior brother, who is calm and sophisticated, and has a down-to-earth style. It's not a problem to pass the Jinshi or even the second class. The key is whether you can get into the first class in the imperial examination.
"Okay, you don't have to flatter Brother Yu anymore. It depends on the Holy One." He was very calm about practicing national affairs.
There was a knock at the door, "Please come in!"
They are Fang Youdu and Wu Di.
“Why, Luyou, Uncle Fang, can’t you sleep either? Why don’t you go and have a rest early?” Lian Guoshi, as the senior brother of the academy, has a very good reputation throughout the academy.
Wu Di and Fang Youdu were both from Nanzhili, but Wu Di and Feng Ziying were not very close before. However, after Qiu Wei, they entered Xiyuan together, and their relationship suddenly became closer.
“Well, Senior Brother Junyu, I really can’t sleep, and it’s a little early now.” Wu Yan is also an eighteen-year-old young man, and his Nanzhili accent is a bit thick, but everyone can understand it if he is used to it.
“Well, it’s inevitable. Relax, think about it. All the students in our academy are like this, and others may not be as good as us.” Lian Guoshi comforted the two of them, his eyes clear and clear, “After all, we are considered the home field, right?”
Wu Di and Fang Youdu both laughed. Yes, they had come to Shuntian Gongyuan in the past two years. Unlike other students who came here temporarily, they had studied in Shuntian for several years, and He should be more adaptable than other students.
Feng Ziying was also a little unable to sleep.
But even these few are still a little nervous, but they are just more able to maintain their composure than others.
“Brother Junyu, even though you said this, we are still nervous, what should we do?” Feng Ziying spread her hands, “If you don’t believe me, ask Lu You and Uncle Fang, I think they will have trouble falling asleep tonight.”
Wu Di and Fang Youdu both smiled and nodded honestly. They really had no choice but to lie on the bed for a long time, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Then they simply got up and saw the candlelight in Lian Guoshi and Feng Ziying's room was still alive. Come knock on the door.
Lian Guoshi has also experienced this kind of situation, and it is indeed easier said than done. "Well, let's just bet on a question. Needless to say tomorrow's lesson, it doesn't make much sense to bet on the wrong team. Anyway, everyone relies on the spot. Play, well, you can think about the policy theory of not becoming outdated."
Writing questions has always been a last-minute must-have for various academies. In the last month, it was inevitable for each professor to come up with their own skills. First, they had to delineate the scope based on the major events of the imperial court in the past three years. , and then cast a net according to the current focus of the court, and finally start to solve the problem in a targeted manner.
The so-called problem solving is to draw up some discussion directions and key insights based on these directions and fields. Because the coverage is too broad, it is impossible to cover it one by one. It is certain that we can only propose some new ideas and suitable discussions for one field and one aspect. Then everyone will make some ideas on their own, so that when they encounter similar problems of the same type in the competition, they can discuss them in a targeted manner.
When the subject was mentioned, both Wu Di and Fang Youdu became interested, and Lian Guo Shi also set his sights on Feng Ziying, "Ziying, even the mountain chief and the commander said that you are the most sensitive to this among our group of people. Yeah, how are you doing, do you have any ideas?”
Several people's eyes were focused on Feng Ziying, but Feng Ziying was not afraid. Now everyone in the academy felt that his outstanding abilities in current policy theory were amazing, especially the Qiuwei Competition, which relied on current policy theory. Only with great advantages can you stand out. Now Chunwei pays more attention to current policy theory. If he can hit one or two, it will be different.
The Theory of Current Policies in the Great Zhou Dynasty consists of three questions, one or two of which are sub-topics, and the third question is the theme. The third question is particularly important. Many people even read the theme of the third question in the Theory of Current Policies in Chunwei.
Because many classmates paid more attention to the performance of the third question on current policy when reviewing papers, so many students who performed well on the first and second questions but unsatisfactory on the third question were dismissed, so the court also asked many times In the same examination, it is necessary to pay equal attention to the three questions, and not only focus on the theme of the third question.
"Well, Brother Junyu, in fact, we have put a lot of pressure on the topic in the academy?" Feng Ziying said with a smile: "How about this, the four of us are here, each write down the direction that we think is the most likely, and then How about writing down on these questions what aspects you think are more innovative and unconventional to answer, and learn from each other?"
Feng Ziying's proposal immediately interested Lian Guoshi and the other two people. While the four of them were talking, there was another knock on the door. Sure enough, it was Zheng Chongjian and Fan Jingwen who also heard the sound and came over. They were excited when they heard this suggestion. They were so well-received that they each found pens and paper to write questions, and then wrote down the directions for solving the questions.
After a while of rustling, everyone listed what they had written. It should be said that the trend is relatively consistent. For example, what everyone wrote most was about wealth, floods and droughts, official governance, public education, etc., and of course Specific to some small aspects, but what everyone is more interested in is what Feng Ziying wrote.
Feng Ziying wrote only two items, one is border military affairs, and the other is wealth.
We all know very well that the current financial situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty is extremely difficult. This can be known from the fact that the emperor risked the disapproval of the world and sent tax inspectors to various places to collect taxes. Therefore, most of them also wrote about wealth. There are some suggestions from various aspects, but they are all based on land tax, commercial tax and even sea development.
It was just the border military affairs that surprised them. Only Lian Guoshi seemed to be a little touched by Feng Ziying's suggestion.
Feng Ziying dared to write about border military affairs, so she naturally had something to rely on. This is recognized by everyone. And everyone knows that Feng Ziying comes from the Wuxun family. She lived in the border areas for a long time before entering the academy. What she saw and heard was naturally different from ordinary people. He must have felt something when he wrote this.
"Ziying, let's not talk about wealth. We all know it, and they are similar. Even if we have different emphasis, when we encounter such problems in battle, everyone can deal with them on the spot, but your border military affairs are... You have something to say, is it..." Lian Guoshi hesitated for a moment before saying.
"Well, brother Jun Yu, last time I met the Jurchen tribute group entering the city, and then I met Zhao Shujiao, and Brother Chu Cai, the staff of the Ministry of War who you mentioned last year, I also learned about some of the situation. Now Although the situation seems to be safe and sound, in fact the threats from the north and northeast, as well as the southwest and east sea are increasing day by day, especially the northeast and southwest. Jianzhou Jurchen has become a serious concern for us, while Dongwu and Annan in the southwest , especially since the conflict between the Yunnan-Guizhou kingdom and the local exiled officials is becoming increasingly prominent, Long Jinwei is also aware of this situation..."
Feng Ziying has no intention of hiding anything from his classmates. In his opinion, these classmates may become his powerful helpers in the future. Being able to help them at this time will be more valuable than helping at any time in the future, so he Say everything you can to them.
“…, so I think that the possibility of the three questions in this subject involving border military affairs is not small, and I estimate that most ordinary scholars in this area will have difficulty having such sensitivity and understanding,…”
