In fact, in Fang Yizhi's view, the three of them must know nothing about physics, chemistry, and biology. Even they may not know much about mathematics, astronomy, and geography. Taking the science provincial examination is just exploiting their weaknesses and avoiding their strengths, which is very brainless.

Chen Zhenhui smiled bitterly and said: "Mi Zhi passed the exam and was admitted to the Jinshi exam when he was in his twenties. How do you know how we feel when we fail the exam repeatedly?

I'm not afraid of secret jokes. I was originally afraid of the provincial examination and didn't think I could pass it.

Nowadays, the rural examinations are being reformed. Although the liberal arts subjects are inherited from the previous rural examinations, they pay more attention to history and practice. I really don’t have confidence.

On the other hand, I have never passed the provincial science examination, so I still have the confidence to give it a try. I also know a little bit about mathematics, astronomy and geography, but I don’t know anything about physics, chemistry, and biology."

Next to him, Mao Pijiang said: "I am the same. I have failed the provincial examination many times before and I have lost confidence. I think it is better to try the science provincial examination. Maybe I can pass."

Maybe you can win?

Do you think it's gambling?

Fang Yizhi felt that these two people did not know their own strengths and weaknesses at all, and they had no sense in making choices. However, if he explained in more depth, he would probably embarrass them.

He simply said directly: "If you believe me, don't take the science exam. Replenish your history and practical knowledge. Both of you have passed the provincial examination in the past. If you take the exam a few more times, you have a good chance of passing it."

"

Next to him, Hou Fangyu also advised: "The provincial examination for liberal arts is the right path for me to be recognized as a scholar, but science is obviously a heretic. How can you two abandon the right path and go astray?"

After hearing this, Fang Yizhi was a little unhappy again.

If the science tests are all heretical, doesn’t it mean that his hobbies are also heretical?

Even if you, Hou Chaozong, think so, you shouldn't say it to your face, right?

Just when the atmosphere of the four people's chat became subtle, Bian Yujing, who was accompanying them, smiled and said: "Actually, Brother Chen, Brother Mao, there is no need to dwell on the choice. You just need to wait for the special issue of "Daming Daily" to come out and take a look at the physics on it.

, Chemistry, and Biology. If you ask how much you can understand, and whether you learn quickly or slowly, you will know whether you are taking the essay test or the theory test."

Chen Zhenhui and Mao Bijiang's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Hou Fangyu even clapped his hands with a folding fan and said with a smile: "Seconds! Yu Jing's words woke up the dreamer. She is indeed a famous talented woman on the Qinhuai River!"

Bian Yujing smiled implicitly, not proudly.

After talking about the reform of the rural examination, a few people turned to the newspaper and talked about other aspects of the matter.

Scholars like to talk eloquently, even talking about national affairs in vain.

Mao Bijiang started talking first and said: "I really didn't expect that the imperial court could drive the Qing captives out of the pass in one battle, and even annihilated more than half of the Qing captive Eight Banners Army. This battle was really a shameful move, and it made our Ming Dynasty

I feel proud and proud."

Chen Zhenhui said: "I heard that the Qing Dynasty has a population of only one million and only one or two hundred thousand soldiers, but they try to occupy our country. Isn't it like a snake swallowing an elephant? Defeat is inevitable."

"That's not necessarily the case." Mao Bijiang said, "Previously, the Qing invaders destroyed the Puppet and Shun, and went south twice. Before the defeat of Yangzhou, they were all destroyed. It can be inferred that if there was no such thing as this, Jiangnan would have been attacked by the Qing invaders.

Got off."

"hehe."

Chen Zhenhui knew that Mao Pijiang now highly praised Empress Zhaowu, so she just smiled when she heard this and stopped arguing with her.

Hou Fangyu looked at Fang Yizhi thoughtfully and asked: "What are Mi Zhi's plans for coming to Nanjing this time? You were a reviewer of the Hanlin Academy during the late emperor's time. The prince is an official, so you should be able to be appointed today, right? Has there been an imperial edict issued?

?”

Fang Yizhi shook his head, "The court only rehabilitated me and did not arrange a new official position for me."

Chen Zhenhui interjected: "Even so, you should be reinstated and review for the Hanlin Academy, right?"

Fang Yizhi still shook his head.

It is difficult to explain clearly the affairs of the court and officialdom, let alone the emperor and his ministers.

In fact, Fang Yizhi believes that people today may not know who he is, and even if they do, they may not want to appoint him. After all, he had been an official for a short period of time and had no political achievements.

Seeing Fang Yizhi shaking his head, the other three people also thought that it was unlikely that Zhu Yushuo would remember him and appoint him, so they all started to comfort him.

Mao Bijiang said: "Brother Mi, there is no need to worry. After all, you are a former reviewer of the Hanlin Academy. You are knowledgeable and talented. Today, you attach great importance to mathematics and other miscellaneous studies. I will definitely appoint you."

Chen Zhenhui said: "It's definitely not possible to just wait. Why don't you look for a way to get someone to recommend you? Or, ask your father if there is any way."

Fang Yizhi's father, Fang Kongzhen, was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli reign (1616), and was proficient in Yi studies. He served as an official in the Chongzhen court and became the governor of Huguang. He also won eight battles and eight victories in the battle to suppress Zhang Xianzhong and other bandits.

Unfortunately, after Yang Sichang succeeded Xiong Wencan as the commander-in-chief, due to improper scheduling and poor coordination among all parties, Fang Kongzheng went deep into the army alone and was besieged and defeated by Zhang Xianzhong.

Originally, the two governors Xiong Wencan and Yang Sichang mainly focused on pacifying the bandits, but Fang Kongzhen took the lead in the suppression. So Yang Sichang took this opportunity to blame Fang Kongzhen for the failure of the encirclement and suppression of Zhang Xianzhong.

At that time, Yang Sichang's family was prosperous, and Yang Sichang almost believed whatever Chongzhen said, so he ordered Fang Kongzhen to be arrested and imprisoned without knowing much about the war situation.

Fang Yizhi went to Beijing to complain in blood, and Fang Kongzhen was given a lighter sentence and was sent to Shaoxing.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen remembered Fang Kongzhen again because of the recommendation of others, so he ordered him to supervise the military affairs of Shandong.

Unfortunately, before Fang Kongzhen took office, he heard the news that the capital was conquered by Li Zicheng. He was disheartened and returned to his hometown to support his old mother.

When Chen Zhenhui thought about it, after all, Fang Kongzhen was once the governor of Huguang, and he must have a lot of official connections. It should be possible to find a connection to recommend Fang Yizhi to Zhu Yuluo.

Hou Fangyu believed that he knew a lot about official affairs. Thinking of his father Hou Xun's repeated attempts to seek office in recent months, he thought that the Fang family and his son might have encountered the same situation as his family.

Otherwise, why hasn't the imperial court re-appointed the Fang family and his son to official positions now?

He comforted him and said, "Why should brother Mi worry about being an official? Not appointing brother Mi would be a loss to the court.

Anyway, now that Mi's brother's case has been settled, and the world is gradually becoming more peaceful, he can return to his hometown and live a leisurely life.

Wouldn’t it be nice to come back to Nanjing in your free time and travel around the Qinhuai River with us, sing about the wind and the moon, or talk about current affairs?”

Fang Yizhi, the three generals, either tried to find ways for him to become an official again, or comforted him, which was quite touching - although he didn't care too much about becoming an official.

Just as he was about to say some words of thanks to the three of them, he heard someone outside shouting: "Fang Yizhi, the former Imperial Academy reviewer, can he be on this boat?"

Several people heard the sound and looked towards the shore, their expressions suddenly changed.

I saw several imperial guards standing there, looking over with swords in their hands.

Although since Empress Zhaowu succeeded to the throne, the Jin Yiwei has not been as rampant as it was during the Apocalypse, but it has still managed to deal with some people, such as those grain merchants who had been hoarding food before.

Therefore, when they saw Jin Yiwei, several people subconsciously thought of something bad.
