Chapter 67 The Difficulty of Policy Theory
When Peng Chen walked in from outside, Tang Yaoyao couldn't wait to run over and asked, "How is it, where is he this time?"
Peng Chen glanced at Tang Ning and said lightly: "The first place in the first place."
Tang Ning noticed that Peng Chen looked at him in a very wrong way. The last time he saw the beast who was arrested in the county government for soliciting prostitution without paying money was the same.
He is not a beast, he is just standing on the shoulders of the beast.
Wen Tingyun is the founder of the Huajian School, a figure of the genius level of the word Huajian. As a man, his love for his boudoir is better than that of a woman, and has had an extremely significant impact on the lyrics world. How could his pinnacle work be ordinary?
Men write about love in boudoir than most women, this is the real beast.
Yu Qian was the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty's rescue. There were no simple people who could become prime ministers. This poem "Lime Song" is his most famous poem and the life creed he pursued throughout his life. This is a real giant, and Tang Ning was just benefiting from the light of this giant.
So there was nothing surprising about his state winning first place in the second game of the test.
In addition to accidents, Tang Yaoyao was also happy.
At the top of the two lists, she found that Tang Ning was not as stupid as she thought. She had the opportunity to ask Xiaoru if he was so smart before, could she smash him out with a ball?
At the dinner table, my father-in-law rarely drank a few more glasses.
"There is only the last one left in the state examination..." He took a sip of wine and said, "Although the court has gradually attached importance to policy theory over the years and won the official position by policy theory, you have the first place in the first two games. As long as you perform well in the next game, you will be sure to win this state examination."
Although the state test three games were eliminated one by one, the two games that have been completed are not the only effect of elimination.
After the third game, the examiner will also consider the results of the first two games when determining the final ranking. Of course, this is a method that will only be taken if the policy theory of the two is similar and there is no choice.
Of course, over the years, those who can top the list in the first two games are all talents, and they will hardly fail in the third game. Unfortunately, everything is exceptional.
Tangning is that exception.
Although the eight-legged essay has not appeared yet, scientific research has already developed the layout and routines that are well-known to the public, and he has not yet learned the layout and routines of policy theory.
The top of the first two games, if the third game fails, it will be a big shame, and it is not as mediocre as the performance in the first two games...
Should I take advantage of the time to curry favor with Fang Xiaopang...
Just forget it, it’s enough to cheat. If you buy the examiner again... you still have to have a bottom line in life.
He has the last two days to do pre-exam assault.
After reading countless topics of Taoist theory, Tang Ning gradually realized some things.
The Eight-Legendary Essay cultivated a large group of scholars with rigid thinking and ignorance, leading the system of enrolling scholars to a dead end. Although the Eight-Legendary Essay had not yet appeared at this time, the Chen State's Imperial Essay also showed some fixed patterns and routines, or different paths from those of the predecessors.
In previous policy discussions, candidates criticize current problems and speak freely, and can generously point out the shortcomings of the court and even the king, and will not be punished.
But no matter what strategy you are asking about in the imperial examination, I will first talk about the words of the saints, praise the great achievements of ancient sages, and then praise the wisdom and martial arts of the monarchs today. Finally, I will show my loyalty and inspire to assist the priests and make great achievements. The real strategy is mostly empty words and clichés...
After the whole article, I seem to have said a lot, but in fact I didn’t say anything. My literary talent is extremely gorgeous, and I can only read it all...
It sounds a bit sour, because Tang Ning himself can't write so many things, nor can he get as far from the ancient sages...
After reading the book for a while, I washed up and went to bed. Tomorrow is the last one. After tomorrow, I should relax and sleep a few days later...
...
In the last game of the state test, Zhong Yi and Xiaoru sent Tang Ning outside the Gongyuan. When he walked into the door, he turned around and waved to them.
Su Ru sighed and said with a smile: "After this exam, the state exam will be over, so Brother Xiaoning won't have to work so hard."
Tang Yaoyao thought for a while and asked, "If he can still win the first place in this game, what kind of yuan will it be?"
"Xie Yuan." Zhong Yi said softly, but a trace of worry appeared on his face.
In the first game, he was able to top the list because he was knowledgeable and memorable, and in the second game, he was very good at poetry, but in the third game, he was very clear about the strategy... Zhong Yi was very clear in his heart that strategy and articles were not his strengths.
Strategy theory is the top priority of the three exams. How easy is it to become Jie Yuan?
Tang Ning sat in the room and was in a very calm mood.
Jie Yuan was not Jie Yuan, but he actually didn't care. If it weren't for not letting Xiaoru be sad, not letting Zhong Yi be disappointed, and not letting his father-in-law and mother-in-law find out that he was a salted fish, he should be considering how to get rich now, rather than sitting here for the exam.
After the gong rang, a worker soon handed over the test paper and manuscript paper.
There are three questions in the policy discussion, and the questions are generally within five words. Candidates will put forward their own opinions or countermeasures around the questions.
In fact, he just writes three argumentative essays a day, each of which is about one thousand words. One thousand words is a minor meaning for Tang Ning, but if he is asked to write in ancient Chinese, he still has to write a very literary talent and full article, and he will not be able to write it in three days.
This policy argument was more difficult for him.
He opened the test paper and found that the first question had only four words.
Water control strategy.
The first question is how to control water.
The questions of policy discussion are generally very simple. The last question in the state examination was "removing officials and illegitimate officials" to prepare for the funds and rectify the troops". The questions of the exams are different every year and are generally linked to current affairs.
The management of floods can be traced back to the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, when Dayu controlled the floods.
Water control must take into account the actual situation in different regions. Tang Ning has not learned in detail about the water control strategy of this era, but his general idea is to change the blockage to loosening. Due to his knowledge, they do not have the concept of modern comprehensive water control.
Tangning is not a professional in water conservancy and has some understanding of this, but he is not very particular.
He could not write directly on the draft paper, so he first wrote "dredging", "cutting bends and straightening", "river channel improvement", "planting trees and forests" on the draft paper. After specifically listing the pros and cons, he thought about how to organize the language and string it into articles...
After writing this question, the gong sounded once, indicating that at least two hours had passed.
He took a few bites casually, filled his stomach, and then looked at the next question.
When he saw this question, he breathed a little relieved. This question asked the candidates to explain how to control the epidemic.
This is not a medical problem. As a local official, even if he does not understand medicine, he must know how to deal with such emergencies.
The general meaning of this question is, if you are a county magistrate, how should you control the epidemic in your jurisdiction to minimize casualties...
This question is not about treatment, but about defense. He had in-depth exchanges with Dr. Sun on this question.
Pay attention to water sources, drink more hot water, and popularize medical knowledge on weekdays to prevent the occurrence of an epidemic. Once an epidemic occurs, isolate it in time, pay attention to disinfection, and properly bury the deceased...
It took about two hours to go for two questions, and there was still time. Tang Ning looked at the third question and rubbed his wrist while thinking.
The last question is about which is more important, punishment or education.
In essence, what is important is the rule of law or the rule of virtue.
This should be answered in light of actual situations. Use heavy sanctions in troubled times, and advocate "virtue as the main and punishment as the auxiliary". In recent years, the Chen State has been relatively stable. It has investigated cruel officials, reduced punishment, and strictly prohibited the use of lynching... Judging from this series of measures, it should be biased towards the latter. If there is no big mistake to cater to this point.
Tang Ning roughly answered that the rule of virtue and the rule of law should complement each other and promote each other. After writing, he found that the number of words was too small. After all, he neither mentioned the sages nor praised the king, so the number of words was far from enough...
In desperation, he had to list the advantages and disadvantages of the two, how to grasp the scale, how to improve, and what details should be paid attention to...
The gong for prompting the handover has been heard for a long time. Tang Ning finished copying the draft and packing up his things, a servant had already come to clear the site.
He walked out of the examination room, and there were very few candidates around him, but this time, it was not because he came out early, but because most of the candidates had already left the exam...
Walking out of the tribute courtyard, I saw four figures waiting in the distance.
