Chapter 342 Entanglement ([-])

Coming out of Xiyuan, Sun Dan managed to calm down the excitement in his heart.

To be honest, he was really sad to leave this group of lovely children.

Just like what he said to the students just now, in his heart, Sun Dan only thinks that the more than 30 little eunuchs are all disabled.As a teacher of a special class, teaching and educating people is a very sacred thing.No matter what kind of people these children will become when they grow up in the future, for now, they are so cute.

It is undeniable that what Sun Dan taught in the Neishutang during this period was all pragmatism, and many subjects were deviant and unbearable in the eyes of the ancients.

However, they must know the basics of nature and humanities. Maybe they will never use these knowledge in their lifetime, but knowledge is always good.

The seeds of enlightenment have already been planted, you just need to wait, and they will always germinate, grow leaves, bloom and bear fruit.It may be ten years or 20 years, or it may be 100 years, but there must be a beginning.

This kind of knowledge can only be passed on among the eunuchs who have no imperial examination tasks. I hope they can bring a breath of fresh air to this stagnant feudal society.

The wind has come in, and the door will one day be blown open by the ever-increasing wind of civilization.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan felt relieved again.

It is estimated that the emperor also heard some rumors, knowing that Sun Dan taught some strange knowledge in the inner school, and Sun Dan offended the emperor a while ago.Therefore, the emperor removed Sun Dan from the post of senior in the school, which can be regarded as a lesson for Sun Dan.

Sun Dan had expected this.

Since that day in the imperial garden, Sun Dan thought a lot, sorting out his understanding of the emperor.

In real history, Emperor Jiajing's character was a bit similar to that of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, mean and ungrateful, with deep scheming.Love a love, naturally love is extremely extreme.But once she hated someone, she didn't like him anyway.

Such a boss is not a good servant.

Of course, Sun Dan didn't think that his favor was absent.In fact, Jiajing is generally a very nostalgic person. His ability to be the chairman of Daming Company has a lot to do with Sun Dan, a capable think tank.In addition, it is necessary to use Sun Dan to try out tax reform at the local level. It is certain that once Sun Dan wins the Jinshi examination, it will be of great use immediately.

But the problem is that betting one's personal fate on the emperor's personal likes and dislikes is a bit risky, and it is also irresponsible to oneself.

The monarchy needs checks and balances, so that the country's political life can be healthy.

Perhaps, the matter of Daliyi is an excellent entry point.If Yang Ting and the group of ministers won the final victory, the depression in the late Jiajing Dynasty might not appear.

In fact, since the Great Ceremony, the Qingliu in the court has been wiped out, and Jiajing's imperial power has been consolidated unprecedentedly.In this way, in the last years of Jiajing, the emperor did a lot of absurd things, and even made stupid moves, so that the country's finances deteriorated to the verge of collapse.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan couldn't help being shocked by his own thoughts. In the past, he always thought about fishing in troubled waters to gain benefits from this political incident. Why do he think about the country and nation now?
"Hey, go discuss it yourself. Why should I, Sun Dan, get involved in this matter? Sun Dan, Sun Dan, you are just a soy saucer. What does other people's life and death have to do with you?" Sun Dan shook his head and smiled wryly. With a sound, throw this little thought out of Jiuxiaoyun.

According to the usual practice, after Sun Dan finishes teaching in the inner school, he will have lunch there, then go to the cabinet to sit down, chat with the three cabinet ministers, and then read the report and look at the country's financial revenue and expenditure figures , in order to prepare for the upcoming tax reform in the future, this is the privilege given to him by the emperor.

Among the three cabinet ministers, Yang Tinghe and Sun Dan were old acquaintances, and Sun Dan was Yang Shen's friend.Elder Yang Ge also admired Sun Dan quite a lot, and he got along well with Sun Dan, a younger generation.However, Mr. Ge is busy with affairs and has a high self-esteem, so he rarely sees and communicates with Sun Dan on weekdays.

As for Jiang Mian, out of twelve hours in a day, eight of them were in a daze.The weather is still a bit cold now, and the old man is not as good as a cat in winter. He sits in front of the stove and dozes off all day long. After Sun Dan disappeared, he nodded and continued to stare.

And because Mao Ji and Sun Dan had an unhappy fight over the fight for the heir apparent, they both avoided each other subconsciously.

So, all in all, when Sun Dan went to the cabinet, he got along very happily with the book offices.

But tomorrow is February [-]th, which is the time for the big exam.Sun Dan didn't even bother to stay in Xiyuan, and left the palace in a hurry after teaching, preparing to go home.

Although he has nothing to worry about in the next nine days of exams, especially stereotyped essays, Sun Dan admits that he is also among the top few in the Jiajing Dynasty.But the examination does not only examine stereotyped essays.

There are three exams in these nine days, one in three days.

The first test question is five historical essays, that is to say, the examiner draws an allusion from the history book and asks the examinee to write an essay, which tests the examinee's mastery of history.For example: "The Zhou and Tang Dynasties put more emphasis on the outside and the inside, while Qin and Wei have their own merits on the outside and the inside." national policy.

The second session is the Five Ways of Public Literature and Art Learning Policy, that is, writing five policy theories.For example, "Zhou Li said that agricultural administration is the most detailed, and all scholars have learned about farming. Recently, when countries study agricultural affairs, they mostly use personnel to transfer climate. The key is land, capital, and labor. If these three can be used well, real capital Wisdom. Today, the Ming school system is listed as a specialist, and the legacy of the key skills is preserved. Try Chen Jiaonong's strategy."; Another example, the examiner will ask you to write a memorial or a thank you form.

This is called combining theory with practice.

In the third and final round, the eight-legged essay is only tested in three days, and there are generally three questions.The first question, the second question and the third question.

Only three of the thirteen questions in the three games are stereotyped, because if you are going to take a central-level exam like this, you can only write a few stereotyped essays and you won't be able to pass.For example, in the official document writing of the second session, you have never seen real memorials, residence reports, thank you forms, etc., even if you scratch your head, you can't imagine it.Also because of this, most of the scholars who won the Juren will travel around to study, broaden their horizons, and prepare for the next year's exam.

Although according to the historical data in his mind, Sun Dan already knew the exam of this subject in advance, and this exam was not difficult for him.However, he was not sure what kind of impact he, a person who should not have appeared in this era, would have on history.

Although a butterfly is small, its wings can fan a storm.

In fact, the appearance of Sun Dan has caused some slight changes in the history of this era.For example, the tax reform in Fangshan will soon be implemented nationwide, and the one-whip law will be advanced 50 years.Another example is the current dispute between the two courts - in real history, this did not happen.

It is hard to say that there will not be any major changes in the exam questions of this subject.

Sun Dan thought for a while, and there shouldn't be any major changes in the questions of the third test.The examiner and the candidates for the questions have not changed, so there is no need to worry about these three questions.

The historical theory of the first scene has little connection with reality, and there will not be any major changes.

The biggest problem should appear in the second session. Policy theory and so on are all about combining theory with practice.The reality has changed and the exam questions will be adjusted accordingly.Among the five questions, Sun Dan was not afraid of the memorial and thank you form because there was a fixed format.If you are afraid, you are afraid of policy theory. If this topic changes, you have to rely on real skills to pass the test.

Of course, he is also very likely to lose points in this inverted topic.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan felt a little uneasy.He was in a hurry to go home to sort out his thoughts, estimate what kind of topic the emperor would ask, and write a few model essays to warm up.

If Sun Dan's guess is correct, there are two most likely directions for the topic of policy theory: one, it is related to the Daliyi; two, it is related to the financial crisis of the imperial court.

So, which one will it be?

In other words, nothing has changed, or is it the same as the title recorded in history?
Sun Dan pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.Before he knew it, he had already walked out of Xiyuan.

In the past, officials went to work in Xiyuan, and those with high official positions brought their own sedan chairs and carriages.Those with low official positions do not have the financial ability, so they need to hire carriages and bearers by themselves.

The same is true, the street outside the Xiyuan Gate is full of sedan chairs and carriages for hire during the day.In many cases, the sedan chair can be discharged for a mile.Even on a leisurely day, there are still a dozen roofs beside the small square.

But after Sun Dan walked out of Xiyuan, he didn't see a car or a sedan chair.

It turned out that it was noon and everyone went to eat.

Sun Dan was a little annoyed, and thought to himself, I am just a small county magistrate now, and it is not suitable for me to raise bearers and horses by myself.As long as he passed the Jinshi examination, he could raise more than a dozen horses.

Horses are the luxury cars of this era. If you don’t keep a few horses, you will lose face and it will be very inconvenient.

While he was worrying, suddenly, a carriage ran over from the other side of the street, and it didn't look like an official carriage.

Sun Dan was overjoyed, and was about to wave to the coachman, when a woman with single eyelid poked her head out of the car: "Mr. Sun, get in the car."

The woman in the car was Zhang Qiangwei.

Sun Dan: "So it's Miss Zhang. I don't know what you ordered me to get in the car?"

Zhang Qiangwei: "The imperial concubine hired you to be a storyteller! The empress said that once Mr. Sun is selected as a Jinshi, it will be difficult to introduce you into the palace in the future. So, no matter what, Mr. Sun has to write the "Princess Returning the Pearl" today." The story is over."

Sun Dan was a little embarrassed: "Sun Dan is going to take the exam tomorrow, and now I'm going to the imperial concubine, when will I review?" Just kidding, according to the progress of his storytelling, the story of Little Swallow has at least [-] episodes to reach the finale .By the time the story was finished, it was dawn.

Did Concubine Zhang do it on purpose?
