Soon after, all this was spread in the court. The officials in the court thought that Su Jin was quite capable. After learning all this, only four words came to mind: "Wise and close to the devil!"
These words naturally reached Zhao Zhen's ears, and Zhao Zhen was greatly impressed. In connection with Su Jin's daily behavior, Zhao Zhen half-jokingly gave Su Jin a few words of evaluation in private: Number one scholar, heroic courage, and one with thick city walls.
Make a face.
Although it was a private discussion, these few test words spread like wildfire, and soon became the most popular joke in Beijing. However, everyone did not understand this evaluation: the number one scholar is only the best, and the hero is brave.
It's easy to say. He has a thick face, but it doesn't sound like a good thing. Why does the emperor say this about Su Jin?
Others' incomprehension, in the eyes of those around Su Jin, this assessment is extremely appropriate, or it can be said to be tailor-made for Su Jin. When these words reached Su Jin's ears, Su Jin could only roll his eyes.
He didn't make any special statement, because he really didn't have time to deal with this, and Su Jin was almost going crazy.
The Ministry of Etiquette has announced to the world that the seventh and third day of March will be the day for the make-up exam in the autumn of last year. After all the disturbing things dispersed, Su Jin was shocked to realize that there was not much time left for him to review his studies. Su Jin had had enough.
These old bastards use the imperial examination as an excuse for everything. Even if they have done great things and made great contributions, if they do not have the official imperial examination status, they will never be able to become a big official in their lifetime.
Su Jin doesn't necessarily want to be a high official, but the key point is that he really can't swallow it. Look at Fu Bi. After completing an errand, the emperor begged him to be the deputy privy envoy. This guy still pretends to be noble.
If you can't do it even if you try hard enough, this kind of virtue is simply shit.
What Su Jin couldn't even look at was the proud faces of Du Yan and his gang, looking like they were gloating about others' misfortunes and taking advantage of other people's unhappiness. Zhao Zhen's promise was like a fragrant cake hanging there, the premise was that he would win.
You can only get it if you take the imperial examination.
Su Jin sat up in shock as he was dying of illness. There was an exam coming up in ten days, and Su Jin had no intention of breathing a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Yan Biyun had finished building a facade in the prosperous area of Yingtian Mansion and had just returned after raising another two million yuan in capital. The renovation of the pavement on Bianhe Street in Bianliang City was also coming to an end, and Yan Biyun came back just in time to help Su Jin take care of it.
Su Jin used two days to arrange for Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others of the Dynasty to go back to their respective divisions with their fees to hire people. Yan Biyun was too busy, so he arranged for Rou Niang and Huan Niang to follow Yan Biyun, and then ordered Yang Xiaosi to rush to the scene.
Tianzhu was responsible for the decoration work of Tianfu Bank, and then basically implemented the preliminary preparation work.
Su Jin has never felt so tired. It turns out that opening a shop is so complicated. When he was in Luzhou, he used to talk about it. Shopkeeper Zhang and the others opened a semicolon as if it was a joke. After a few days,
The whole process is completed, but when it is in my own hands, I find it so difficult; I really live up to the saying that it is said that when people eat tofu, their teeth are quick.
There is also the most important thing, which is the training of the specific operations of Yinzhuang. This can only be done by myself. The manpower brought are all Su Ji's guys, although they are all very picky.
The manpower is selected, but the bank is still unfamiliar to these guys, and there are many operations
The details are very different from traditional trading. The guys don't know how to operate it at all. Even Su Jin himself only relies on the memory of later generations to make progress; fortunately, there are not so many financial risks in this era, and the operation of the bank is also difficult.
It was relatively simple, so Su Jin concluded that the risk was not high.
The training can only be done after the examination. There is still some time before the opening of the bank. There is still time. When everything is arranged, Su Jin can finally sit in the study with peace of mind and spread out the dazzling things.
It was already late February when I was writing the collection of Classics and History, and the time left for Su Jin was already numbered.
Su Jin is not a person who likes reading, but he is indeed a person who is good at reading. When he was in Yingtian Mansion, he once created his own card reading method. All the cards hanging in the study room were cards excerpting key points. He once let people enter
Wang Anshi in his study was amazed.
But this time, Su Jin didn't have time to do that. He chose to analyze the imperial examination questions of the Song Dynasty listed in the book given to him by Fang Zimo. After carefully studying these examination questions, as well as what Fang Zimo wrote in the book
After making his concluding remarks, Su Jin seemed to vaguely guess the pulse of the exam questions.
As early as when he was in Luzhou, Su Jin asked Li Chong about some things about the imperial examination. The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty, whether it was an interpretation test or a provincial examination, was nothing more than a test of strategies, essays, poems and verses, and scriptures. It was just about the meaning of poems.
Fu, sutras, Mo Yi, that's all. They are dead. If you know them, you know them. But if you don't know them, you don't know them.
You know, there is nothing opportunistic about it; besides, Su Jin has quite a lot of stuff in his belly. The young man in this body has also read a lot of books in a blind way, and he was cramming to read more before the exam.
It can be dealt with; but Su Jin knows that the most important thing is the strategy.
The test strategies and arguments are all put together. The questions give the arguments from the past dynasties or poetry books. Students should discuss them, explain their own opinions, and state their own principles. They must not only make sense, but also make sense.
What is more important is to speak realistically; the difficulty lies in the last point, speaking realistically,
And it cannot be regarded as slander and influence on the government. The balance between this is very difficult to grasp; and this is the most important thing in recruiting scholars. The court wants people who can see the key points without boasting and exaggerating. In other words
It is to take the words of justice among scholars and rely on stimulating the generosity of words, but it is not favored by the court.
After understanding this point, Su Jin's heart suddenly became much brighter. After carefully studying the test policy theory questions over the years, making analogies and demonstrating them with charts, Su Jin suddenly made an astonishing discovery. This discovery made him jump.
He got up and knocked over the ink and books on the desk, making a mess.
But Su Jin had no time to deal with it and quickly verified his important discovery. He found that from the Zhenzong Dynasty to this Dynasty, there were a total of twenty subjects, and the policy questions in the examination were in five categories, one was finance and taxation, the second was military administration, and the third was official administration
, the fourth is foreign affairs, and the fifth is punishment; what is interesting is that these five categories of questions are staggered, and there is a cycle for every five subjects. I don’t know whether it is intentional or unintentional, coincidence or inevitable.
For example, in the first year of Tiansheng's reign, the title of the examination policy theory was: The theory of the balance of corvee taxation; in the second year of the Ming Dynasty, it was the theory of the common abuse of money, which also belongs to the category of finance and taxation; and then the title of the fourth year of Zhenzong's Xianping four years before the ten subjects turned out to be
Involving the monopoly of 'tea and salt theory'; other categories are also as shown in the above rules, every five subjects must be repeated into the same category, because the interval between the five subjects ranges from ten to fifteen or sixteen years, even if this is
The rules are absolutely undetectable by anyone.
Su Jin was so excited that he gasped for breath. It was like playing a charade. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed among the chaos, and he found the answer. It turned out to be that simple.
Su Jin hurriedly verified the questions in the provincial examination. This time it was a little complicated, but Su Jin still found the pattern. After solving the test, the same type of questions will definitely not appear in the provincial examination; and it is obvious that the top and bottom are adjacent
The two categories of subjects must be different, so three out of five are eliminated, leaving only two major categories.
Based on this rule, Su Jin quickly deduced that the scope of the policy for this examination must be in the category of punishment, and thus deduced that the policy for the provincial examination should be between official administration and foreign affairs. An extremely excited Su Jin was in the study
Xiao Sui'er, who started dancing and brought tea in, thought that the young master had lost his mind in reading and went crazy, so he quickly came up to pinch Su Jin's man.
Su Jin picked up Xiao Sui'er and spun him around in the air several times, laughing and saying, "Sui'er, is your master the smartest person in the world?"
Xiao Sui'er was panicked and ashamed. The young master had never been like this before. I heard that people who are crazy cannot disobey his will, otherwise they will not be able to come back. She hurriedly said: "Yes, the young master is the smartest person in the world."
Man, please put me down and have a cup of tea to relax."
Su Jin turned a deaf ear and stared at Xiao Sui'er for a long time, then suddenly said: "No, what if it's just a coincidence?" After saying that, he put down Xiao Sui'er and buried himself in the pile of old papers, writing and drawing to himself.
.
Xiao Sui'er was so frightened that she quickly ordered the other maids to look at Su Jin while she quickly ran off to look for Yan Biyun. The young master had lost his mind and gone crazy, this was a serious matter.
