My life skills in Daming Liver.

Chapter 97

Since Su Ze came to the county school to study, he had never seen such a lively scene in the county school.

He found the door of the county school and asked: "Old man, why are there so many people here at the county school today?"

Menzi naturally knew Su Ze, he sighed and said: "I heard that Japanese pirates broke out outside the city, and people from the prefectural school and Yanping Academy poured into the city, and the prefect arranged them all in the county school, what is this called! "

Only now did Su Ze realize that all of this had something to do with him, and it was a chain reaction caused by killing Xu Shisheng.

There are three schools in Nanping County, two government and one private, only Nanping County School is in the city, and Yanping Mansion School and Yanping Academy are outside the city.

Originally, the three schools were well watered, but this time it was reported that Japanese pirates committed crimes thirty miles away from the county seat, and Yanping Fuxue and Yanping Academy couldn't sit still.

In case the Japanese pirates really came calling, the few scholars in the school couldn't guard against them at all.

At least those who can study in the government school are scholars who have passed the children's examination, and those who can study in Yanping Academy are the children of local officials and gentry. If these people are all taken away by Japanese pirates, the newly appointed Fang Zhifu will not be able to afford it. A black pot.

So Fang Zhifu ordered all the teachers and students of Fuxue and Yanping Academy to move to the county school. Anyway, the county school also has school buildings and classrooms.

Scholars in the entire Yanping Mansion praised the magistrate for his thoroughness in handling affairs and loving the people like a son.

The only depressing thing is the teachers and students in the county school.

Although there is no superior-subordinate relationship between the prefectural school and the county school, the prefectural school, Professor Zhong, and Hai Rui are both academic officials who came from Juren, and their qualifications are deeper than Hai Rui's.

And Chen Moqun, the head of the Yanping Academy, is not simple. He is a well-known Confucian in Fujian, and he is a Jinshi and has never been an official. He is the same year as Xu Ge, the current cabinet assistant.

Hai Rui, the teacher of the county school, Professor Zhong, the professor of the prefecture school, and Chen Moqun, the head of the academy, at least managed to maintain a superficial harmony.

Hai Rui gave up his room to Chen Shanzhang, who was the oldest, while he and Professor Zhong lived in the side room.

But with so many students pouring into the county school, the school building is obviously not enough.

In the end, it was Hai Rui who came forward and added beds to the school dormitory, which was originally a single person, and changed it into a group dormitory for four people to share.

But these students still felt that Hai Rui had neglected them, and they didn't dare to make trouble with Hai Rui, a juror, but instead bullied the students of the county school when they had nothing to do.

But everyone is a scholar, and it is not easy to do it, so it becomes a test of each other's homework.

Among the three schools, the one with the worst grades in the county's academic examinations had been dismissed by Hai Ruiqing, and the number of students was also the smallest.

As a native of the county school, he was bullied by the students of Yanping Academy and the government, who dared not go to class.

The timid Zhou Xiucai was even more frightened and moved out of the school building.

The chariots and horses at the gate were brought by the students from the prefecture and the academy. Hai Rui did not allow their schoolboys and servants to enter the county school to serve their studies. blocked.

Su Ze didn't expect that killing Xu Shisheng in the name of Japanese pirates would cause so many chain reactions.

Under Menzi's guidance, Su Ze bypassed the crowd and entered the county school. The entire county school was noisy.

Chen Chaoyuan, Xiong Yue, and Lin Qingcai had already arrived, and Hai Rui, who was wearing a patched official robe, walked towards them.

"Teach!"

The four of Su Ze saluted, and Hai Rui replied:
"The school is busy in the county. Today you can study by yourself. Tomorrow, when the government students and academy students are settled, I will teach you again."

"Teacher, please be busy, we just study by ourselves." Su Ze said quickly.

Hai Rui nodded, feeling a little embarrassed, and said in a deliberative way:

"I originally said that I would arrange a school building for you, but now there is no room for the students in this county. How about sharing a school building with four of you in these few days?"

The four nodded and said, "It's also good to squeeze."

Seeing that he had persuaded the four people, Hai Rui heaved a sigh of relief and said, "There are a lot of people in the county these days, so keep a low profile."

After speaking, Hai Rui glanced at Su Ze.

Su Ze felt wronged. He had always acted in a low-key manner, and Hai Rui actually felt that he would show off.

After Hai Rui explained the matter, he hurriedly walked to Minglun Hall where he was giving lectures, while Su Ze and the others moved their things into Chen Chaoyuan's room.

It has only been half a month since the last meeting, and the atmosphere in Nanping City has become so tense, the four of them can't help feeling a little bit embarrassed.

After talking about recent developments, Chen Chaoyuan, a local and the most well-informed among the four, said:
"I heard that these prefecture students and college students dislike the narrowness of the county school, and are dissatisfied with the request of Haijiao to share the dormitory. Today, they always grab the county students to write questions. Many county students dare not live in the school building. We have these two days Be careful."

Xiong Yue quickly said: "Isn't that right, I almost got dragged and tortured by a group of college students when I entered the county school today. Fortunately, I said that I was not a member of the county students, and that group didn't drag me over."

Chen Chaoyuan said again: "Why don't you stay at my house tonight and come to class tomorrow?"

Chen's house is not close to the county school, and the gate of the county school seems to be blocked, so it is a waste of time to come and go.

Lin Qingcai objected: "There is morning class tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be too late to rush over from Brother Chen's house, so let's squeeze together."

Su Ze also nodded in agreement, and the four of them simply huddled in the school building and began to exchange their experiences in studying these days.

The day before yesterday, Su Ze broke through Lv4 in the imperial examination, and now he has read the Four Books and the Annotations of the Four Books through, and they are all at a level that can pass the boy's examination.

Only the Five Classics of the election are left to learn, and it is estimated that you will be able to brush up to Lv5.

As a systematic coercion, Su Ze naturally chose the most difficult spring and autumn in the Five Classics.

This time when he came to the county seat, Su Ze originally wanted to borrow the county school's Spring and Autumn transcripts, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Chen Chaoyuan and the others learned by themselves with their heads covered after enlightenment. Although they memorized the contents of the Four Books and Annotations, they memorized them by rote. Many of the contents were unclear, and they did not know the true meaning of the books.

Su Ze's Lv4 is more than enough to guide them, and soon changed from four people discussing knowledge to three people asking Su Ze for advice.

[Study scriptures, imperial examination skills +10, Lv4, 30/400]

An hour later, Su Ze saw the prompt that popped up from the system, and felt that the three in front of him were good experience babies, and he seriously answered their doubts when they were studying.

"So that's what it means!" Chen Chaoyuan slapped his thigh, and after Su Ze's explanation, he finally grasped the essence of this passage.

Su Ze discussed with them for another hour. When the imperial examination skills rose to 40/400 experience, there was a noise outside the school building.

Xiong Yue couldn't sit still when he was studying, and he couldn't sit still when he heard the noises outside. He completely forgot the purpose of being a man with his tail between his legs.

Xiong Yue stood up and said, "I'll go out and find out!"

After Xiong Yue finished speaking, he pushed the door and went out. Su Ze's curiosity was also aroused, and he put down the book in his hand and said:
"Shall we go to see the fun too?"

The three of them left the school building together, only to see a few scholars rolling up their sleeves doing physical work in the open space in front of the school building.

They drove a wooden post into the ground, and hung a scroll on the post.

After those scholars finished their work, a young young man came to the side of the pillar.

Chen Chaoyuan immediately said: "That's Huang Shixing from Sha County, the leader of the students of Yanping Academy, and the successor of Huang Chang, a famous official in Song Dynasty."

Wait, Huang Chang?
Su Ze really wanted to go up and ask if this Huang Shixing knew "Nine Yin Manual".

However, this Huang Chang did exist in history. He was a famous official of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he was also considered a mathematician and astronomer.

Huang Sang is the author of "Astronomical Map". Huang Chang used his years of study and research in astronomy and astrology to draw this map, combining his practical experience of repeated observation of astrology. The whole map has a total of 1440 stars.

And Huang Chang is also a master of Neo-Confucianism, who put forward the theory of "three natures", advocating the unity of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, and pursuing the realm of interaction between heaven and man.

Huang Chang was originally from Bashu, but moved his family to Fujian when he was the magistrate of Fujian. Later, Huang Chang died of illness in Fujian, and his descendants stayed in Yanping Mansion because of the war in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Chen Chaoyuan said in an envious tone: "This Huang Shixing passed the boy's test at the age of 15, and now he has just turned 20. He is the first in every test in Yanping Academy. Master Chen said that he will definitely win the exam next time!"

Thinking that he was admitted as a scholar at the age of 15, Chen Chaoyuan felt that he was a waste.

A Confucian family, a young man enrolling in an imperial examination, is indeed treated like a protagonist.

Looking at Huang Shixing who was surrounded by everyone, he said: "Today we live together in the three schools, which is a good story in Yanping Mansion. This is a clever question I collected, but I haven't solved it after months of hard thinking."

After Huang Shixing finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a follower pulled the rope, and an official cast silver ingot was hoisted to the wooden pillar.

"I offer a reward of 40 taels of silver, and ask you all for a solution to the problem."

Seeing the silver ingot, everyone was amazed at Huang Shixing's generous spending.

But Su Ze just looked at him coldly. Huang Shixing must have thought of the answer a long time ago, and the reward for solving the problem was just for fame.

When everyone couldn't answer, Huang Shixing suddenly realized that he "accidentally" came up with the answer.

This topic must be the same as the last one in Baizhi County, "Liang Huiwang Zhangju Xia", it is a very tricky topic.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Huang Shixing opened the scroll, only to see that there was no word on the scroll, only a big circle!

what is this?
Those scholars who were gearing up to solve the problem were all stunned.

What the hell kind of topic is this?a circle?
The corner of Su Ze's mouth smiled, it turned out to be this topic.

Su Ze encountered this problem when he studied the history of imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty with his tutor.

In fact, this is not an official imperial examination question, but a strange question similar to folk brain teasers.

This circle does not represent the number 0, but a symbol used to divide chapters in the typesetting of "The Analects of Confucius".

Strictly speaking, this topic is also in line with the scope of the imperial examination. After all, as long as it is the content of the Four Books and Five Classics, it can be used for the question.

The imperial examination questions in the later Qing Dynasty were even more unreliable, and some even put together the preceding and following sentences to form the questions.

The scene fell silent for a while, and Huang Shixing looked around happily. This is a unique topic that he spent a lot of effort to collect, just to make a name for himself in Shilin.

Next year will be the provincial examination. As long as you have a reputation as a scholar, you can improve your chances of passing the provincial examination.

The Huang family was originally a big family in Yanping Mansion. They have been farming and studying for generations since the Song Dynasty, and even the Yuan Dynasty did not give up their family knowledge.

Huang Shixing has a family tradition of academics. In fact, the degree of recognition of the answer sheet is still very high. Even if his name is vague, he can be recognized by the examiner.

As long as you can become famous in Shilin and write a few splendid articles, it will be easier to win the exam.

This is equivalent to the admission of future generations to participate in the new-concept composition college entrance examination with extra points. The children of wealthy families can continue to enter the imperial examinations. In addition to their family's atmosphere of studying and studying, they also have the unspoken rules of the imperial examinations that ordinary people cannot touch. related.

They set up a stage to sing, Su Ze didn't intend to tear down the stage, but suddenly a scholar from Nanping County School saw Su Ze and said deliberately:
"Brother Su, you are the only one in Nanping County School who can solve this problem!"

The scholars of Nanping County School have suffered a lot of grievances recently, and driven by this scholar, they all started booing.

Huang Shixing looked at Su Ze, cupped his hands and said, "Can this brother break it?"

The students in Nanping County continued to boo and said: "Brother Su broke the last question in Baizhi County!"

Huang Shixing suddenly realized and said: "It turns out that it is Mr. Su Ze, who is the 'Crown the Seven Books of Benevolence and Righteousness'. You are rude."

Why is this sentence so familiar?

Su Ze really doesn't understand, is the circle of scholars in Yanping Mansion so small?
Just solved a problem, and all the scholars in the city know it?
Huang Shixing looked at the patches on Su Ze's clothes, and knew that he must be a poor scholar with no background, so he couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous in his heart.

But he pretended to be very good, pulled Su Ze and said: "Brother Su, don't hide your clumsiness. If you can really solve this problem, it can be regarded as solving my confusion for several months."

The students in Nanping County started booing, while the government students and academy students hissed contemptuously.

Although they knew that Su Ze broke the title of County Magistrate Bai, they only thought that Su Ze was a blind cat who met a dead mouse, or that Su Ze had seen this title before.

After all, Su Ze is a poor scholar who doesn't even have a reputation as a scholar. If he is really so good, why doesn't he get admitted as a scholar?
Some people even shouted: "Nanping County School is really deserted, and even poor people with no fame are allowed to solve the problem."

"I'll pay you 40 taels of silver, please hurry up and don't spoil Mr. Huang's elegant affairs!"

Huang Shixing heard it all in his ears, but he didn't have any intention to stop it.

There are few scholars in Nanping County, and the voices of students from government schools and colleges overwhelmed those who supported Su Ze.

At this moment, Su Ze smiled slightly, and he walked directly to the wooden pillar and untied the silver ingot hanging from the pillar.

Su Ze is tall and fast, and these scholars didn't react.

After Su Ze put the silver ingot into his sleeve, he said to Huang Shixing, "Brother Huang, thank you for your silver."

Huang Shixing's gentle and elegant shell couldn't hold back anymore, he suppressed his sullen anger and said, "Brother Su, please solve the problem."

Su Ze said loudly: "The sage is the first to speak, and he also follows the sky."
