Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

In this way, Su Mu completely integrated into the governor group of the experience department.

After lunch and returning to the hall, everyone already regarded him as one of their own, and no longer arranged other jobs for Su Mu.

When Duan Jiong saw everyone shouting "Zi Qiao" one by one, he was also puzzled, when did this Su get so close to everyone.

The more he looked at Su Mu, the more he disliked him, and he refused to talk to Su Mu, so he just sat in his seat with a straight face.

Now, even if he wanted to torment Su Mu, other colleagues would probably not cooperate.

In fact, the affairs of the Experience Department seem to be complicated, but what really needs the governors to do is to compile the Dibao.As for record filing, sending and receiving, just ask the book office to run.

In the afternoon, everyone was free, and the governors sat in the hall drinking tea and chatting, looking very leisurely.

Governor Niu still couldn't forget the joke that Su Mu told, so he said, "Brother Ziqiao, it's boring to sit around, let's tell another story."

Several other governors also said at the same time: "Yes, Ziqiao, let me tell you something."

Seeing that the fire was just right, Su Mu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, I'm afraid I might disappoint you adults."

While talking, he opened his luggage, took out a copy of "Zhu Zi's Notes on Four Books" and a copy of "Collected Works of the Time" and put them on the desk.After choosing a topic, I spread out the paper and started writing an article.

Seeing Su Mu writing non-stop, Governor Weng walked behind him curiously, only glanced at him, and called out: "Zi Qiao, are you writing stereotyped articles? This topic is well done!"

Look at the joke, even if you don't need to copy the classics of later generations.After Mr. Shao, Mr. Wu and Mr. Sange's hell-style training, Su Mu's stereotyped essays can be regarded as an upper-middle level in this era.Especially for the shape and structure of the eight-part essay, I have a deep understanding.Breaking the topic is related to the righteousness of the article, the most important thing, Su Mu has worked hard on this, this topic is really broken, it is too much to add a word, and too little to delete a word.

Governor Weng was born as an old Juren, and his own knowledge is very good, how could he not see the beauty in it, he immediately screamed out.

Hearing his cry, the other four governors came over to watch.

Governor Li nodded again and again: "Wonderful, Su Ziqiao deserves to be Su Ziqiao. Not only is his poetry the best in the world, but this stereotyped article is also very interesting. Admire, admire!"

But Governor Niu said: "The title is well done, but in this sentence "Sincerity, self-sincerity", Ziqiao only cares about sincerity is self-improvement. But he forgot, there is also a half sentence below: "Taoist, self-sincerity" Dao also' Dao is the self-guidance. It seems that this meaning should also be written in it."

"Brother Niu's statement is ridiculous!" Governor Li sneered, shaking his head and began to explain.

Literati look down on each other, and the classics and righteousness are the most important principles.

The governors who have experienced the facts are highly knowledgeable and belong to different schools of thought.This argument started, and immediately became a mess.

In the end, even Su Mu had to join the battle group.

In the end, the General Administration Department and the Experience Department seemed to have become the Imperial College, and the hall was full of "Zi Yue" and "Shi Yun" making a scene.

Governor Niu and Governor Li even got red-faced from arguing, and in the end they were really tired, and they looked at each other with their eyes snorting, like two bulls with red eyes.

At this moment, Duan Jiong finally couldn't help but slapped the table and scolded Su Mu: "Master Su, what are you doing? The Tangtang Experience Department is not your study. What exactly are you writing here for?"

What Su Mu was waiting for was this sentence, and he was intentionally stunned: "There are still more than three months until Chunwei. Su Mu is originally a person who can participate in the examination. The title on the gold list, the leap to the dragon's gate, and the worth of a hundred times belong to my generation of scholars. The highest ideal. Don't you adults participate in next year's Enke?"

After speaking, he took a look at everyone.

The word "will try" seemed to have magic power. As soon as it was said, everyone fell silent.

Governor Niu and Governor Li turned their heads at the same time, no longer fighting.

And Duan Jiong's hand was also frozen in the air.

Su Mu was amused, everyone's reaction was within his expectation.The ancient scholars read the words of sages all their lives, not all for the sake of cultivating their sentiments.In fact, the Chinese are all pragmatists. No matter what they do, what they pay attention to is that there should be rewards for their efforts.Therefore, there are common sayings such as "Eat hardships and suffer hardships, and only then can you become a master".

Didn't everyone have a ten-year cold window just to take part in the imperial examination and become an official to change their lives?

The ancients also said, "Poor literature and rich martial arts", for ordinary people, only reading is the only way to make progress.Even if you were a penniless and poor kid before, once you pass the Jinshi exam, you will immediately become a seventh-rank county magistrate, a Bailihou who governs tens of thousands of people.

Otherwise, you are a poor child from a poor family.No matter what you do, if you fight for resources and contacts, how can you fight for a noble family?

Only the imperial examination is the fairest way to advance in this year.Whether it is the official second generation of your Zaifu family, or the rich second generation of a great salt merchant who is invincibly wealthy, everyone is on the same starting line when they enter the examination room.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a rule that non-jinshi were not allowed to be officials. The governors of the experience department were all from Juren background, and they were also qualified to be officials.But without the fame of a Jinshi, he will only be one of the eighth grade in this life.

With a salary of two or three taels a month, it is a problem to support myself.It can't be compared to the official of the seventh rank of the imperial court. As long as one party is in charge, the magistrate will be cleared for ten years, and one hundred thousand snowflakes will be paid.

So, when they heard Su Mu mentioning this, everyone was shocked, thinking about Su Mu's words, "Don't all the adults participate in next year's Enke?"

After a while, Governor Weng sighed and said with a wry smile: "Ziqiao, scholars of my generation, if I say that I don't want to make a difference in the imperial examination field, it is a lie. But I have been in the examination for a lifetime, and my fame is limited to juren, so I have long been cold-hearted. If I go to take the exam now, will I still have to resign from the post of governor? The old man’s family is poor, if he doesn’t have this salary, he might not be able to survive.”

Su Mu said with a smile: "Governor Weng, you are only in your early forties, and you are in the prime of life, so why are you so unmotivated? In imperial examinations, three parts of manpower are seven parts of God's will. What kind of questions are asked by the chief examiner? The examiner's preferences are inexplicable. Big relationship. If you are not lucky, even if you are a high-achieving essay, you will not take it if it does not meet the appetite of the marking officer. If you are lucky, if you close your eyes and fate, even if there are occasional flaws in it, take a piece of paper. It is not difficult to confer Jinshi together. The adults are all old people in the imperial examination field, and they all got through the examination all the way from Tongsheng.
