The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 208 From the start of the private school to the start of the examination

With Lu's honest nature of farming, if he really continues to do so recklessly, his body will be destroyed within a month.
When Lu Gengtian heard the news, he ran to Xie Shen's study excitedly to express his gratitude to the boy.

"Little master, you are so kind to us, we will definitely not disappoint you by going home!"

Lu Gengtian looked at Xie Shen with tears in his eyes, which made Xie Shen shudder.

"Uh"

But time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the day when the private school starts.As a teacher, Zheng Xundao sat upright in the school and was worshiped by the students. After this ceremony, he became the teacher and teacher of these new students.

If these students are promising in the future, there will be many teachers, but Zheng Xundao is the only professional teacher in Kaimeng.

A total of thirty children from poor families came to the private school, and the situation was better than Xie Shen expected.

As the initiator and founder of the school, Xie Shen naturally came to the school.

Before Professor Zheng began to teach, Xie Shen gave a passionate speech to encourage students, which was very moving.

Many country gentry also came to congratulate, but Xie Shen seriously suspected that they came because of County Magistrate Wu's face.In terms of friendship, Xie Shen didn't even meet these gentry once.

Not to mention gossip, but to say that the benefits of Xie Shen's establishment of a private school are gradually reflected.

And the biggest beneficiaries are Wu County Magistrate and Xie Shen.

In the following days, Xie Shen locked himself at home and worked hard to study, except for occasionally going to the tidal flats to see how the tidal flats were being renovated, he hardly went out.

Gradually, this kind of hell-style warm-up book has an effect, and some points that cannot be comprehended on weekdays are suddenly unraveled.

Xie Shen couldn't help feeling that reading really needs coherence and atmosphere, which is the same in ancient and modern times.

After the dams on the outer edge of the tidal flat are built, the next job is to improve the soil quality.Except for a small part of tidal flats where cotton can be planted directly, the rest need to be irrigated repeatedly with fresh water to desalinize.

After repeated tests, the tenant farmers did not dig out the well, so Xie Shen had no choice but to discuss with Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi to divert the canal to water.

Don't place your hopes on a deadly rival like the Sun family, Xie Shen would rather spend more effort trying to keep his ears clean!

Seeing the cotton gradually planted, Xie Shen was completely relieved, and started the question sea tactic again.

Facts have proved that the question sea tactic is much more useful than simply reading through Zhu Zi's annotations.

After writing a lot of articles, Xie Shen's touch, writing style, and writing style are integrated into one, and he has a sense of mastery.

He has been a man in two lives, and he has a wider knowledge than the average scholar. In addition to the systematic review of the past few months, many points have been connected, so he is naturally in a good mood.

Moreover, with Shui Yun and Xiao Luoli on the side to add fragrance to the red sleeves, spread paper and ink, the small days are comfortable and comfortable.

If Xie Shen came from an aristocratic family, maybe he really wanted to be a small landlord who ate and waited to die.

But since he was born in a poor family, there is no reason not to fight. If he doesn't fight, he can only starve, if he doesn't fight, he can only suffer anger. If he doesn't fight, his children will have to continue to be poor in the future!
It is precisely with the mentality of breaking the boat that the boat is at the bottom of the boat, Xie Shen lights up the lamp and reads at night every day, in order to make the most of the time.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the examination.

As Xie Shen expected, the great master Chen Fangyin came to Yuyao to preside over the scientific examination.

Compared with the college examination, the scientific examination is not so big.

Although the exam was also held at the county school, it was obvious that the atmosphere was relaxed.

The purpose of the scientific examination is to select candidates for the rural examination, and there is only one chance to make up the exam and record the legacy.

So the competition is relatively less intense.

For Wen Kui like Xie Shen, there is nothing to worry about.

The final exam time was set for the first day of August. On this day, Xie Shen came to the county school to take the exam with the exam basket accompanied by the book boy Chen Hu'er.

After simply checking the test basket, Xie Shen was put into the county school.

Xie Shen looked around and saw that all the students were walking together in twos and threes, talking and laughing, as if this was not a scientific examination but an ordinary monthly examination.

Mentality is really important!
As long as it is not fixed for three years like the rural examination, the mentality of scholars in Ming Dynasty is still very good.

Xie Shen didn't want to delay, so he walked quickly to Minglun Hall.

Compared with the college examination, the scientific examination is not considered formal and the number of candidates is greatly reduced, so there is no special examination shed, but the examination is simply held in Minglun Hall.The examination method is also very simple, the Grand Master directly asks a question from the Four Books, and all the students write Shiwen.

In this way, the examination process and content are greatly simplified, and the students are even more satisfied.

It is good to streamline the content of the exam for both the masters and the scumbags.

Xueba can condense all the essence into one article, which makes it easier to shine and win the appreciation of the great master.

And for the scumbags, the same is true.

The so-called do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes, and it is not bad to do nothing.

Since it is an exam, it is impossible not to do it.Being able to write just one article and minimize the risk of error is already something to celebrate.

Here, Xie Shen entered Minglun Hall, went straight to his seat, put down the examination basket, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to put away, and then began to close his eyes and meditate.

In fact, the scientific examination is a product of necessity. After all, there are many students in each county who have to participate in the rural examination, and they cannot all be allowed to participate.

Otherwise, with the prosperity of the literary style in Zhejiang Province, the Hangzhou Tribute Academy would not be able to sit even if it was overcrowded.

If there are too many people, we can only take additional exams. Everything is based on grades, and those with excellent grades will take the exam.Those with poor grades will take the make-up exam or simply wait for the record time to take the exam again.

After about half a cup of tea, Xie Shen heard Wang Shouwen calling him, opened his eyes and turned around, only to see Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi looking at him with smiles.

Xie Shen got hairy from being watched, coughed and said, "Brother Shouwen, why are you and Brother Pixian staring at me all the time? Why don't you take your seat and wait for the exam?"

What time is it that Wang Shouwen still has a playful smile on his face, which is really worrying!
However, Wang Shouwen shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Brother Shenxian, you probably don't know yet. The science test is no longer about writing, but about poetry!"

Poetry test?

It is not uncommon to test poetry in the imperial examination, but it is very rare to test poetry alone.

Xie Shen can only feel that the scientific examination is too irregular, and the great master Chen Fangyin is too capricious!
Alas, it's a pity that he studied hard to read the Annotations of the Four Books and wrote dozens of articles, but now it seems that they are useless.

Fortunately, poetry is his strong point, and there is no need to prepare in advance.

If the great master wants to take a poetry test, then he is even more sure.

Xie Shenqiang suppressed the melancholy in his heart, and said lightly: "What to test and how to test is of course up to the great master. As students, we just need to perform well."
