Recalling the scene of the previous two days, Mr. Ye was still a little absent-minded.
Magistrate Wang did not treat Chen Ping as a child at all. He was like an official of Sinong Temple, while Chen Ping was a meat duck in urgent need of fattening.
Such a brutal education method is really shocking.
Mr. Ye has been teaching for many years and has used all kinds of teaching methods.
But he has never seen any gentleman be so "cruel" to students!
Magistrate Wang directly placed a thick stack of imperial examination essay examples from the past ten years in front of the trembling Chen Ping.
Ignoring Chen Ping's whispered protest, he pointed at his nose and sneered: "Your teacher said you are a math prodigy, I believe it."
"But in my opinion, you are also a waste of articles!"
"The imperial court selects officials based on literature. If you are proficient in calculation, you will never be able to get into the Jinshi department. Don't you know this?"
This makes sense.
Although Chen Ping also learned some skills in writing articles in the academy, and basically knew how to quote the sages' subtle words and great ideas, and how to change the articles into neat sentences of parallel four and six, but it was limited to this.
At the current level, let alone taking the imperial examination, even if you want to win a scholar through the county examination, it is probably a bit mysterious if there is no such thing as the county magistrate in front of you.
Previously in the academy, Chen Ping had already studied with all his might.
But three feet of ice does not freeze in a day, and writing skills cannot be improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time through hard study.
Otherwise, it would be really unfair to those who have been studying since childhood.
Unless, find another way!
Deeply stimulated, Chen Ping seemed to understand Magistrate Wang's intention, and without saying another word, he reached out and took a thick stack of article examples.
In fact, Chen Ping had heard of this method before.
According to rumors circulating in the academy, there was once a child in another state capital who failed to pass the exams many times and had extremely poor qualifications.
The article written by this person can be said to be nonsense, without any spirituality at all. He has been angrily criticized by his husband as a worthless piece of shit many times, saying that rotten wood cannot be carved.
But even such a fool, with a firm will and a gift of photographic memory, heard a ridiculous method from nowhere, so he began to collect imperial examination essays and learned them by heart.
In the end, this person relied on rote memorization and learned thousands of articles by heart.
Then, he became a blockbuster in the second year and got the title of scholar in one fell swoop.
What’s even more terrifying is that after only two years of preparing for the exam, he was admitted to the Juren Examination and was completely brilliant!
When his learning method was leaked, countless people went crazy and tried to imitate him.
For a time, this strange news spread all over the world, and students from all states and prefectures all over the world followed suit. There were students everywhere who memorized model essays, and simply took the Jinshi exam as the Mingjing exam.
It’s no wonder that Ming Jing Ke is the most despised among scholars. His social status is low and he has little hope of promotion.
It's a pity that such a crazy method of imperial examination has no miraculous effect on other people. Instead, it turns many students into lunatics who are full of wonderful articles but can't even speak in daily life.
Now, County Magistrate Wang has brought over so many imperial examination essays, and they are all current affairs in recent years, so the intention is self-evident.
To be recognized as a scholar, one only needs to be good at writing, while to be recognized as a scholar, one needs to write articles based on the current political situation. This has also become a stumbling block for many students from poor families.
They live in a small corner and do not come from scholarly families. They have not been exposed to politics since childhood, so how can they know the current affairs of the world?
If you do it forcefully with little knowledge, I'm afraid you will only be laughed at as a frog in the well.
Chen Pingyuan originally wanted to obtain the title of scholar first, but did not consider that far, so he also lacked understanding of current affairs.
But now that I have to participate in the Boy's Championships, I can't do without strategy.
With trembling hands, Chen Ping carefully took the pile of articles and at the same time looked at his teacher asking for help.
Teacher, don’t you want to take care of it?
Magistrate Wang is jealous that you always have a good disciple, he wants to send me to the tiger's den!
Mr. Ye had already seen through Chen Ping's inner struggle. Without saying anything, he just said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs." Then he pulled Magistrate Wang and left in a hurry.
But what Chen Ping didn't know was that when Mr. Ye and Magistrate Wang walked far away, a heated argument immediately broke out.
Mr. Ye has his own teaching methods, how can he let others interfere in the education of his closed disciples?
Moreover, it is still a method that is almost counterproductive. If the mind is not firm, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles and the future will be ruined.
Even if the other party is the county magistrate, Mr. Ye will never allow him to act so wantonly on Chen Ping's education.
Faced with Mr. Ye's aggressive questioning, Magistrate Wang remained calm and calm.
I just asked, "Does Ye Lao know where your disciple's limit is?"
"Thinking about his recent words and deeds, do you really think that he can't stand the learning methods that ordinary people can't tolerate?"
"If he didn't take this path, how could he stand out from the crowd of geniuses and pass the Tongzi Examination?"
After asking this question, Mr. Ye wanted to refute, but was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, Chen Ping's recent performance is too evil.
And his previous teaching method still preconceivedly regarded Chen Ping as a child whose mind was still immature.
At most, I add a few years to his age in my heart and treat him as a teenage student.
But this clearly underestimates him.
It is obviously inappropriate to continue to use the same teaching methods in the past to educate Chen Ping, who has revealed his true mind.
As for the limit mentioned by County Magistrate Wang, Mr. Ye naturally has not tested it and does not want to test it.
Time passes and people's hearts are revealed, this is for County Magistrate Wang who has been struggling in the officialdom for more than ten years.
Horsepower is known from a distance, but for Chen Ping, who is about to lift a boy.
According to Mr. Ye's original plan, Chen Ping was still young, so even if he spent a few more years polishing himself in the academy, it would not be too late to take the imperial examination.
After all, if you become a Juren, you will inevitably have to face many relationships, open and covert attacks, temptations of fame and fortune, and even come into contact with many people in the officialdom.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This is not something a child of his age can bear.
If Chen Ping had become a Juren before he was fifteen years old, his mind would not have fully matured at that time, and he would still be at the age where he is most likely to fall into heresy.
If you get tainted by the dirty atmosphere of the officialdom too early, you will probably destroy your future.
As a teacher, how could Mr. Ye put him in such danger?
But it's different now.
When Chen Ping came up with the idea of donating money to build roads, his mentality and methods were no weaker than those of any adult.
Under such circumstances, if we forcibly confine him to the academy and continue to teach according to ordinary methods, it will be a handicap for him, and I am afraid it will be even more detrimental to his growth.
Mr. Ye was obviously persuaded by County Magistrate Wang, which led to today's scene.
In fact, Magistrate Wang still had some words deep in his heart that he did not say out loud.
In the view of County Magistrate Wang, the reason why Chen Ping devoted himself to studying was not because he was really interested in studying knowledge or admiring sages, but because he had an obvious utilitarianism.
Participating in the imperial examination was not his purpose, it was just a process.
Magistrate Wang was deeply touched by this mentality.
Because I had the same mentality back then.
The reason why County Magistrate Wang changed his past habits and stopped writing a single poem after he was given the official robe.
This is because his purpose in learning to write poems and articles was just to be promoted to an official position and realize his ideals and ambitions.
Now that you have become an official, you should naturally focus on realizing your long-cherished wish.
If you continue to use poems to play with those romances, it is really a waste of life and playthings.
Because he understood Chen Ping's thoughts, County Magistrate Wang dared to act like this.
So under the persuasion of County Magistrate Wang Xiaozhi's rational and emotional persuasion, Mr. Ye finally figured it out, changed his previous attitude of being too talkative, and directly picked up the ruler.
Chen Ping had no idea what they were thinking, but as a "victim", he finally realized how difficult it was for the prodigy of the Dayu Dynasty!
