Chapter 71
Hearing what Hai Rui said, Baizhi County couldn't let him kneel down again.

It's true that he is a county magistrate, but the county magistrate is no better than a teacher. Hai Rui moved out the ultimate move of "dignity of the teacher's morality", and Bai Zhixian had no choice but to give up.

However, Hai Rui does not have to kneel. Seeing Su Ze beside Hai Rui, Baizhi County frowned and said:
"Who are you, why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Hai Rui was about to open his mouth to defend Su Ze, but he didn't expect Su Ze to say neither humble nor overbearing:

"Grassman Su Ze, the county lord comes to the county school. You should pay homage to the most holy teacher first, and we will pay homage to the county lord."

Bai Zhixian was stunned for a moment, and then he forgot that he was too busy to trouble Hai Rui, so he even forgot the etiquette.

The most holy teacher is naturally the Confucius enshrined in the main hall. As a scholar who entered the county school, he should worship Confucius first. There is nothing wrong with what Su Ze said.

Even if this matter got out, County Magistrate Bai would be reprimanded for being contemptuous of the former teacher in the county school.

"Smart teeth."

Magistrate Bai did not continue to embarrass Su Ze, after all, to him, the county magistrate, Su Ze was just a little man without fame.

Moreover, such a difficult person as Hai Rui was here, but Su Ze reminded Baizhi County to follow the etiquette, which was to help Baizhi County correct its mistakes.

After all, he has read books for so many years, and Baizhi County first worshiped the statue of Confucius in the main hall.

Hai Rui led the county school's student officials out, and Su Ze used the formation method in the Art of War to direct a group of people to form a neat square formation.

"Worship to the most holy teacher!" Su Ze shouted solemnly, as if he had become a singer, a group of people knelt down neatly, and bowed to the statue of Confucius.

Su Ze then shouted again: "Lord Baixian."

Hai Rui was stunned for a moment, this time he didn't lose his temper again, after all, Baizhi County did come to inspect the county school, and Hai Rui paid respects to Baizhi County in a respectful manner.

A mighty crowd stood in front of the main hall of the county school and saluted Baizhi County, and now all the unhappiness Baizhi County had towards Su Ze disappeared.

Bai Zhixian finally understood what the happiness of leadership is. What's the point of Hai Rui bringing four poor scholars who have no fame to bow down to him?
Now the entire county school is lined up neatly, putting up such a big battle to worship, this is called prestige!
Baizhi County suddenly realized the joy of Liu Bang's appointment of Shusun Tong. It turns out that this is called "ritual"!

Bai Zhixian looked at the awe-inspiring Su Ze, his expression softened, this is a talent!
Bai Zhixian was in a better mood, and his words to Hai Rui were a little gentler.

"I heard that Hai Jiaoyu has been busy giving lectures at the county school recently, and donated his salary to cultivate a few seeds of scholars?"

Bai Zhi County looked at Su Ze and the other four people, while Hai Rui still had a calm face, and reported to Bai Zhi County slowly.

Su Ze led everyone to the Minglun Hall where the lectures were given in the side room, and very cleverly led Bai Zhixian into the hall to sit in the chief seat, and arranged for the members of the sentient beings to sit down.

It stands to reason that Su Ze, who has no fame, can't command these talents at all.

But Baizhi County was pressing ahead, and Su Ze looked like the second in command of the county school, and everyone unconsciously listened to his arrangements honestly.

The magistrate of Bai County looked at Su Ze who was busy with his work with satisfaction. This kid was much more pleasing to the eye than those sour scholars in the county school.

Hai Rui looked at Su Ze, but he didn't reprimand him for making his own decisions. After everyone sat down, Bai Zhixian said:

"Today, the county is mainly for supervision and persuasion."

Hearing this sentence, many students lowered their heads.

The county magistrate said that supervision and persuasion is naturally a test of homework. Everyone can see that Bai County magistrate and Hai Jiaoyu are not dealing with it. If they don't answer well now, they will be reprimanded by the county magistrate.

People like Zhou Xiucai regretted it even more secretly, why they were reluctant to part with the two taels of salary every month, and insisted on studying in the county school, and now the county magistrate hated him again.

If he falls under the evaluation of "lack of talent and learning", how can he still hang out in the circle of Nanping scholars in the future!
All the sentient beings became nervous, wishing they could shrink under the table.

Hai Rui frowned and said, "My lord, my subordinates have supervised the county school for less than a month, and many students haven't caught up with their homework. This homework."

Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Bai waved his hand and said:
"Today, I don't want everyone to make eight-legged skills, just keep it simple, just take a single test and break the questions!"

When Baizhi County said this, not only did everyone not relax, but they even became more mournful.

Stereotyped essays are actually articles with a prescribed writing format. In fact, the main structure is similar to that of modern argumentative essays, and the emphasis is on a transition from beginning to end.

The "starting" of the first step is called "breaking the topic", which is a crucial part of the stereotyped essay. It is to clarify the main idea according to the title, which is the tone of the whole article.

The second part "inheritance" is called "inheriting the topic" and "starting to talk", which is to expound one's own ideas according to the main purpose of breaking the topic.

The third part "Zhuan" is "argument from various aspects", which is the theme part of the eight-legged essay. Generally speaking, it consists of eight paragraphs, paired in pairs, which is the origin of the name "eight-legged essay".

The fourth part, "Conclusion", is called "Big Conclusion", which is to summarize the idea of ​​the whole article. It would be better if the theme can be sublimated.

The focus of stereotyped essays also changed from the early Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty.

In the early Ming Dynasty, there were not many people taking part in the imperial examination, and there were not so many volumes. At this time, those who could do the questions according to the stereotyped essay format could basically get a good chance. At this time, more attention was paid to the third part, which is "the stereotyped argument". The format and rhyme are dual, as long as there is no problem in the format and no mistakes in thinking, then you can get a good grade in the exam.

However, as more and more papers are taken in the imperial examination, more and more people study stereotyped people, and more and more people take the imperial examination, the first part of breaking the questions has become the most important part.

This is actually very easy to understand. In the later imperial examinations, the number of examiners marking papers increased exponentially. It was no longer easy to complete the task of marking papers. There was no time to read your articles carefully.

Take the Fujian Provincial Examination as an example. In the first year of Jingtai, 1600 students participated in the provincial examination, but in the 31st year of Jiajing, the number had swelled to 3200. However, the number of examiners for the rural examination had only increased from 8 to 10, and the number of examination papers had almost doubled.

If the question is amazing, the examiner will naturally leave a good impression. As long as the format of the next part is correct, no taboos are written, and the rhyme is correct, then you can get a good grade.

This is also the reason why folk literature in the early Ming Dynasty pursued plain and light Song prose, but in the middle and late period it pursued the "magical prose" and "magnificent prose" of the Han, Tang and pre-Qin, all in order to win the hearts of the examiners with explosive theory.

Breaking through the topic is the first step in a stereotyped composition, and the county magistrate Bai couldn't say anything about this Hai Rui.

I saw County Magistrate Bai smiled slightly and said: "The title of the first question is--'Liang Huiwang Zhangju Shang', please solve the question."
