Chapter 69 Magistrate
The county school is still the same old depression. Compared with the famous Town God's Temple not far away, the Lingxing gate of the county school is empty.

Under Hai Rui's reform, many students in the county school who hadn't come to school for a long time dropped out one after another, and the entire county school became even more empty.

Those who came to report with Su Ze were the other three good seedlings from poor families whom Hai Rui had taken a fancy to.

At this time, the three of them had arrived at the county school early, and Su Ze knew that they were poor scholars in the county when they looked at their outfits.

The youngest of the three was younger than Su Ze seemed to be, and the oldest looked to be 40 years old. All of them were stooped, and their bodies were as thin as the soldiers of Changning Guard.

Those who can study are considered to have a good family background in Ming Dynasty, but it is unrealistic for most families to fully support an adult male who is out of production and studying. These three people seem to be the kind of scholars who are half-farming and half-educating.

Su Ze is tall and tall, and he attracted the attention of the three of them as soon as he entered the county school. If it wasn't for Su Ze's attire as a scholar, the three of them would have thought he was a warrior.

Su Ze was the first to bow his hands to the three of them: "I'm Changning Wei Su Ze, I've met all my classmates."

Hearing about Chang Ning Wei, everyone knew that Su Ze was a scholar of the military guard. No wonder he was so tall, and they saluted Su Ze in a panic.

The oldest one is named Chen Chaoyuan. When Su Ze found out, he turned out to be a member of the Beishan Chen clan. However, Chen Chaoyuan left the clan from the previous generation and moved to the county. The most enthusiastic.

Another short scholar named Xiong Yue, his family is a tea merchant in Wuyi Mountain, and his family background should be the better among the four. When he came up, he brought out three copies of Wuyi Mountain tea in bamboo tubes and gave them to everyone. Habits are a little heavier.

The youngest one was named Lin Qingcai. The Lin family was a common surname in Nanping. However, he was not related to the Changning Wei Lin family. Instead, he was a member of the Lin family in Houguan County, Fuzhou. For some reason, he moved to Nanping County to live.

Su Ze was in awe. Houguan County is a major county in the imperial examination. Since the Song Dynasty, Jinshi has been frequently sent out.

But the most famous one was Lin Zexu, who sold cigarettes in Humen in the late Qing Dynasty, and he came from the Houguan Lin family.

And Lin Huiyin, a famous talented woman in modern times, also came from the waiting official Lin's family. This family has a prosperous culture and is also a famous family in Fuzhou.

However, Lin Qingcai is already a side branch of the side branch, and the family has already separated, so he can't go to the social studies of the waiting official Lin's family.

Lin Qingcai's family was in decline, and he could only do part-time farming and part-time study. Hearing that Hai Rui, the county school teacher, was willing to guide the poor students to study, he immediately signed up.

After a while, Hai Rui's patched official uniform appeared in front of the four of them. The four saluted Hai Rui quickly. Hai Rui stroked his beard and said:

"I'll take you to the school building to settle down first, and study hard at the county school in the past two days."

The four quickly said yes, and followed Hai Rui to the school building where Zhou Xiucai signed the bond last time.

The school building had been vacated a lot, Hai Rui found four clean school buildings for the four of them to live in, and took them to the school building on the other side.

After Hai Rui paid homage to Confucius in the main hall and Mr. Yang Shi, Luo Congyan, Li Tong, and Zhu Xisi in the Minglun hall, Hai Rui brought everyone into the side hall.

The main hall is a place for county students who have the qualifications of student staff to study. Naturally, it cannot be used for people like Su Ze who have not even passed the county exam.

Hai Rui now gives lectures to the county students in the morning, and let them study in the main hall in the afternoon, and opened up a wing room for Su Ze and the four of them to teach.

Pens, inks, papers and inkstones were already placed on the desks. After everyone sat down, Hai Rui took the lecturer's seat and started today's lecture straightforwardly.

Su Ze's imperial examination has reached Lv3, 55/300. These days, he learned from Wei Xuegan's experience and read through "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "University" with the least number of words.

Zhu Xi also memorized all of Zhu Xi's annotations. At first, Su Ze thought that his understanding was in place.

But after hearing Hai Rui's explanation, Su Ze realized that his understanding was still shallow.

Although Hai Rui is just a recruiter, his study of the Four Books and Five Classics is undoubtedly quite in place, but Hai Rui's thinking is more focused on the traditional Neo-Confucianism rather than the current popular Psychology.

Nanping is the hometown of Zhu Xi, but the study of mind is the most popular knowledge in the world today, and Nanping is naturally affected by this trend.

Although Yanping Academy teaches Confucianism, it often invites Confucianism of mind to give lectures, and scholars are greatly influenced by mind.

However, when it comes to participating in the imperial examination, it is obvious that the traditional Neo-Confucianism is better, because the scope of the imperial examination is Neo-Confucianism.

[County school lectures, "Imperial Examination" experience +10, Lv3, 65/300]

Hai Rui talked for an hour, and Su Ze was pleasantly surprised to find that his experience had increased by 10 points, which was much faster than his own reading!

Relying on the buff of [Every grain is hard work], Su Ze read for two hours after meals every day, and gained about 10 points of experience a day.

This progress is not slow compared to ordinary scholars. According to this progress, it only takes less than two months for him to reach Lv5, which means he can be admitted to the level of a scholar.

Ordinary scholars who have studied hard for ten years in the cold window may not necessarily be able to pass the boy's examination and become a scholar.

However, because the experience of liver skills expands after level 5, if this progress is followed, it will take 5 experience points to go from Lv10 to Lv[-]. At this rate, it will take [-] days, which is five years.

Then this time is really too long, it takes five years to be successful, and the experience will increase after Lv10, so how can you win the triple in this life?

After listening to Hai Rui's lecture today, Su Ze finally found a way to gain experience faster. Listening to Hai Rui's lecture for an hour can increase 10 experience points. If he can listen to lectures every day in the future, wouldn't he be able to gain dozens of experience points in a day?
Moreover, Hai Rui is not a famous imperial examination teacher. If he listens to the lectures of the famous imperial examination experts in Yanping Academy, will he be able to upgrade faster?

Thinking of this, Su Ze wished he could come to listen to Hai Rui's lectures every day.

After resting for a while, when Hai Rui was about to continue his lecture, he suddenly heard the county student enter the door, and hurriedly said to Hai Rui:

"Master Jiaoyu, the county magistrate is here!"

As soon as they heard that the county magistrate had arrived, Chen Chaoyuan, Xiong Yue, and Lin Qingcai immediately stood up awkwardly, and they all looked at Hai Rui who was still sitting still.

Menzi urged: "My lord, the county lord will be here soon, you have to go to the door to meet him!"

Hai Rui didn't intend to get up, and now not only the door was restless, but also the other three poor scholars were also fidgeting.

Hai Rui is a juren and has an official status so he can't be afraid of the county magistrate, but they are ordinary people who don't even have the qualifications to be a student, so how can they not be afraid?

Hai Rui sighed, put down the book in his hand and said:

"Just follow me to meet you in front of the school building."
