After a satisfactory discussion of scriptures, the candidates once again faced Guanzhou’s unique policy essay questions.
The question is still about how to deal with the cold winter.
From the county examination, to the prefecture examination, to today’s college examination.
The exam questions are very different from previous years.
The information conveyed is enough for each candidate to understand the intention of this three-time test in advance.
The moment everyone saw the title, their hearts dropped.
They are also prepared for cold disaster response measures.
Some people praised the palace's decision, but then made slight changes in several implementation details.
Some people see the big from the small, and suggest that Yongning's government be spread to various cities, and they also combine what they have learned and know and adapt to local conditions.
There were many opinions.
A book with ambition in mind!
Everyone thought it was great that there was no word limit for this policy review!
Yan Laoer thought the same way.
God knows how difficult it is to shorten and revise articles. His excellent papers were mediocre when he was forced to revise them, and they could not show off his rare and brilliant literary talent!
Look at this kind of question, isn't it just asking people to come up with ideas? Since it's about giving out ideas, why limit the word count? Isn't the more the better!
Yan Laoer is not worried that he has nothing to write about, he is worried that he wants to write too much...
…
Once the hospital exam has passed, this year's new students will be freshly released.
Magistrate Pang is not the examiner this time.
This academic examination was personally presided over by the academic administrator. He only sat with him and marked the papers together to show fairness.
Patrol the examination room as usual.
Pang Pangren was not surprised to see the familiar examinee again.
Still not raising his head, his pen wanders like a dragon.
I used one piece of paper after another...
He stood and watched for a while, but saw that the examinee still had no intention of stopping.
Magistrate Pang thought to himself that no wonder the prince specially ordered this time to send the main paper and the draft to him after the exam.
Not to mention that the prince is curious, even he is extremely curious.
What exactly was written?
How does it compare to the last answer?
…
"Hahahaha!" The British King Shulang's laughter came from behind the desk: "This Yan Huaian is so interesting!"
"Look, look, these are all his drafts. Others only have one or two, but he actually has ten!
From what Magistrate Pang said, he could have written more if he hadn't felt that time was running out.
Why does he talk so much?
Well, what I said happened to be pretty good. Although it was a bit straightforward, it actually had something to say, unlike other scholars who were very vague."
While sorting out other test papers, Wang Deshan said with a smile: "This Yan Er, he talks a lot and can't stop talking. He also likes to worry. There is nothing he doesn't care about in the family and the village, and he falls in love with everyone in the village, big or small.
I went to his house to ask, and he came back and forth. He is considered to be a well-traveled person in Xiaoan Village. I could talk to him about anything...
It’s just that he wasn’t very good at studying, and his brother forced him to study for more than ten years before he got where he is today.”
The King of England was surprised and said: "You have been studying for more than ten years?" He looked at the draft in front of him again and said: "That is really not the material for studying."
"No, if you hadn't wanted to get practical skills this time, this Yan Er wouldn't have been able to pass the college examination. It would be great if he could pass the government examination." Wang Deshan said in a soft voice.
"Wang Deshan, you said that you are not the one who asked for the name, so how can you be selfless? This Yan Huaian's article is simple and unpretentious. He will answer whatever I ask. He thinks about what he has seen and heard... No matter
Whether it can be done or not, he is really thinking hard about how to let the people of Guanzhou survive this cold disaster smoothly, and his heart is...sincere."
Wang Deshan said "Ouch".
"Your Majesty, you have a keen eye for people. When I first saw Yan Er, I felt that he was different from those fellow villagers who wanted to have a relationship with me. Strangely, Your Majesty, you are knowledgeable and know how to describe, right? We are a family.
Zidu is sincere, practical and sincere... the waiter is even more..."
"Let me take a closer look." The King of England interrupted him on purpose. This Wang Deshan always praised his great-grandson in a different way, which is really hateful.
"You can also cut wood in winter, and you should choose those who are strong and healthy..."
"You can go fishing in the sea. The water will not freeze. Although fishing in winter is not easy, there is a way..."
"Building a greenhouse and growing vegetables in winter? Isn't this... too expensive? Huh? Can you grow mushrooms? Wang Deshan, have you ever heard of anyone growing mushrooms?"
Wang Deshan whispered: "I know that the Yan family has set up a special room to test the seeds, but I don't know whether it will be successful or not."
"Since I dare to write it, I should be somewhat confident. However, although mushrooms are slightly more expensive than vegetables, if they are grown in a greenhouse..." The King of England shook his head.
Not cost effective.
"Oh, I still want to go to Beirong, because I am worried about their cattle and sheep... Well, my analysis is very clear, saying that Beirong is more difficult to endure the severe cold, and more people will freeze to death and frostbite. There is a lack of medical treatment and medicine, and it is difficult for the weak to survive.
Many people died in this cold winter, and many cattle and sheep were frozen to death due to lack of protection... Look at what he wrote, it seems like he saw it in person."
The King continued to seek useful advice from pages full of "impassioned" vernacular.
He was reading the draft, but he lacked interest in the main volume.
Who wouldn’t love to read such an interesting article?
"Has Huju's militia been recruited yet? I thought it would be after the spring, but it turns out they are going into the mountains to pick...meat? Hahahahaha, this Yan Huaian is really straightforward, yes, he just picks meat, which is interesting!"
Wang Deshan narrowed his eyes. The child kept talking about the vigilante group. He didn't pay attention at first. After listening more, he probably understood what the child was thinking.
However, he suppressed this matter and did not tell the prince.
The government examination coincides with the meeting. If it is done for the college examination, it will be too deliberate and not beautiful.
The King of England gradually became interested.
Although the writing is white, it is easier to understand, and there is no limit on the number of words. Since it is a draft, Yan Laoer simply let himself go and wrote the whole article, as if someone was chattering in front of him.
Sometimes he talks about the east, and sometimes he talks about the west.
However, Yan Laoer remembered his daughter’s words and wrote about the vigilante group in particular detail.
How to recruit people? Bring them directly into the mountainous area, then pick meat from the mountains. Make hot soup to warm your body before and after entering the mountain, so as not to get sick. The skins picked off from wild animals are all salted and used to make clothes for the militia, and weapons and other things are temporary.
It's a stick, so it's more dangerous when encountering a big beast, but with the large number of people and a shout, even the big guys dare to get on it.
Speaking of leather tanning, not to mention that it is troublesome and time-consuming, it is not as good as the sheep raised in Beirong. The sheepskin is really warm, the hair is long, curly, and thick. You can make one piece from one piece without having to fight again.
Sew again.
In short, he thinks sheepskin jackets are the best and highly recommend them.
The King of England couldn't help but laugh again: "He comes again and again, always bringing private goods, but he can't get along with Beirong."
Wang Deshan said softly: "When the city was destroyed by the tiger army, Yan Er was in the city and rescued Mr. Tian. Mr. Tian felt his kindness and accepted him as his student. He has always kept him by his side and taught him carefully."
The prince should still remember this relationship, but he still has to remind him where necessary.
The smile on the King of England's face slowly faded away when he mentioned the tigers occupying the city.
"Send troops in winter..." It was hard for him to make up his mind!
Don't look at him granting the city of Guanzhou and sitting in charge of one side.
But it's one thing to take the boy test in advance, and it's another thing to go to Beirong.
The former has nothing to do with the overall situation, and is only expedient for Guanzhou to obtain materials urgently.
The latter mobilized the border troops and went out on a large scale. How dare he say this without the emperor's order!
Even he felt that Beirong would be in danger this winter and would be a good opportunity for expedition.
But there is no life, no food and grass...
In Guanzhou, a large number of people were affected by the disaster. He still carried out conquests. It is difficult for both superiors and subordinates to explain!
"It says here that the barracks of the militia are made of igloos. I am curious, can these igloos really be inhabited?" The King of England clicked on the draft, thought for a moment and said: "Wang Deshan, after the court test results, call this Yan Huaian here
, I want to see you."
Wang Deshan didn't answer for a long time.
The King of England raised his head in confusion and saw that his manager, Wang, looked embarrassed and uneasy.
"Is there anything wrong?" asked the King of England.
Wang Deshan wiped the unnecessary sweat and said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, I apologize to you for this. I have done a stupid thing selfishly. This Yan Huaian... Yan Er, Xiao Er's father... has been in our house.
Go up, I have to deal with the difference..."
The King of England opened his eyes slightly.
"You mean, Yan Huaian has to prepare for the exam and work as an errand in the mansion?"
Wang Deshan talked about it, evading the important and taking the easy: "A lot of people... went to the house before. The imperial concubine took charge of such a big thing as disaster relief. I dare not not be concerned about it. I am afraid that there is something not thorough, and I am also afraid that... there will be people with ulterior motives.
Sneaking in.
At this moment, I couldn't think of anyone who knew the basics and could handle things, so I had to look for people who were trustworthy. The waiter was the grandson of the old slave. The character of their family was trustworthy, so the old slave... sent out a few things.
I really didn’t expect that Yan Er was so lucky to be able to pass the college examination all the way. Even the waiter said that her father was a talented child. The old slave heard it many times and believed it...
His name has always been hanging in the house, no, after the college exam is over, someone... will be here tomorrow."
The King of England thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "I know this. It's because of your caution that Beirong actually infiltrated the royal palace's banquet and almost endangered Mian'er... Ning Que must not be careless when hiring people in the future."
Wang Deshan responded hurriedly: "Your Majesty is wise, but this old slave is timid and thinks too much."
"I am always at ease when you do things." The King of England waved his hand, and the matter ended.
As for whether Yan Huaian was taking advantage of the palace by being an official official and not doing any work, the King of England said that we are very generous and don't care about these three melons and two dates.
"By the way, where did the eagle go? I went there this morning and didn't see it. Did it change its place? Or... did the eagle really starve to death?"
The King of England likes small animals very much, including cats, dogs, and birds.
I had raised a few in the past, but they either died of illness or old age. Later, the palace's income declined year by year, and he had to subsidize and spend money everywhere, so they lost interest.
By chance, he discovered that Wang Deshan had ordered someone to find a scaffolding, and also sent a master who knew how to cook the scaffolding to take care of it. He pretended not to know about it on the surface, but in fact he secretly visited it several times.
Knowing that the waiter had picked it up from the snow, he secretly muttered why he didn't have such luck.
Eagles are not easy to catch.
Although the goshawk he picked up was always on hunger strike, his energy and energy were different from the eagles he had seen before.
He goes on a hunger strike and eats when he is extremely hungry. What does this prove? It proves that this eagle is smart!
He tried to get closer, but every time the eagle pretended to pounce, but in fact it kept silent, and its intention was even more threatening.
The King of England couldn't let it go even more and couldn't forget it.
"The eagle also recognized people and knew that it was Xiaoer who saved it, so he fed it and ate it. Xiaoer's child felt distressed when he heard that it was on hunger strike, so he begged the old slave to take him home first, but the old slave and her
We have agreed that Nao Ying will come back, everything is ready in our house, and Master Fan is here." Wang Deshan replied softly.
The King of England is relieved, just come back.
He looked at Wang Deshan and suddenly laughed: "You old guy, did you do this on purpose? It's so rare to let that kid come and stay for a while?"
Wang Deshan smiled shyly, with dense fine lines appearing in the corners of his eyes: "The second servant is the grandson of the old slave. In the future, he will provide for the old slave until his death. It is appropriate to come and live at home from time to time. Wherever the prince is, the old slave belongs.
Home, wherever the old slave’s home is, that’s where the waiter should be…”
…
"Master Xuezheng, please take a look at these two articles and decide who should be named first." Magistrate Pang kindly suggested.
"The purpose of concealing one's name in the imperial examination is to ensure fair and impartial selection of candidates! What does Prefect Pang mean by this?" Xuezheng raised his eyes and looked angrily.
The name is not false.
But at their level, it is not difficult to know who wrote the anonymous test papers.
There are only a few scholars in Guanzhou, and those who stand out have already registered in their hearts. They know who will succeed and who will not.
Don't look at the question that the prince came up with at the last minute, it's pretty much the same.
Guanzhou is not like other big cities where students can't write colorful articles. Instead, their pragmatic words come from the bottom of their hearts.
When you read the words, you see the people.
Of these two anonymous test papers, one is from Yan Huaian and the other is from Yan Xiangheng.
The two are uncles and nephews, students in the same department, and will become a good story.
Yan Xiangheng ranks first in the county examination and first in the prefecture examination. If he can get first place in the college examination, he will be a rare little Sanyuan in Guanzhou Prefecture.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for Yan Huaian, after all, he is old, has profound experience, and speaks volumes. It is not surprising that the prince favors him. But based on the two articles, Yan Xiangheng
Even better, he deserves the top spot.
Master Xuezheng... his words are high-sounding, but his actions are...
Your flattery may not be able to photograph the prince’s buttocks!
Magistrate Pang sighed in his heart.
After thinking about it, I tried to persuade him again: "Your Majesty... you may not mean that. You and I have been together in Guanzhou for many years. You should know that Your Majesty is a very pragmatic person. He made the last decision in the government examination and the examination.
There are students, please tell me what kind of people they want to choose, but it is not to completely overthrow the imperial examinations, there are two court examinations... I believe that there should be a compromise between the two, and the better one will take precedence."
Instead of relying on the prince's comments, the rankings will be determined based on his preferences.
That's so unfair to other students.
"I am a scholar of the government, and I am also the chief examiner. Pang Pang, I just need to do my job well." The master of academic affairs said calmly.
Magistrate Pang said nothing more.
Xiao Sanyuan is a little pity.
But after all, it's just a boy's examination. It doesn't matter whether he is the first scholar or not. Being on the laurel list and being successful is the first step in an official career.
…
Yan Yu was dumbfounded when he saw the top spot on the list!!!
What the hell?!
Could it be that her eyes were blurred?
I rubbed it twice with my hands.
Look carefully again!
Number one! Number one! Still number one!
Her father! Yan Huaian! Yan Laoer! is the number one!
The second is her eldest brother, Yan Xiangheng’s famous name written neatly next to it.
Her father actually surpassed his eldest brother???
"ah--"
Yan Yu heard the boss scream uncontrollably.
Turning around, no surprise, it was her father.
Yan Laoer is like the little rooster at home who is always choked by Grandma Rong and can't make a sound.
Except for the first sound, there was no more sound.
"Dad! You actually got first place in the exam!" Yan Yu ran over and still can't believe what she saw.
"Brother, you got second place in the exam!" Yan Yu turned around and said.
Yan Xiangheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually very stressed about Xiao Sanyuan, as others said, so it was much easier not to get first place.
The root cause is that Yan Xiangheng has always remembered that it is always easy for scholars in Guanzhou Prefecture to pass the exam. If he were in his hometown Qishan Prefecture, he would be nothing.
