My life skills in Daming Liver

In the prefect's back house, Fang Zhifu is working on experiments.

Fang Ruolan naturally took the book back home with Su Ze's "Children Learning Qionglin", the first batch of books received by the Nursing Home.

The Fang family's father and daughter are knowledgeable, and this Qionglin for elementary school is indeed a better textbook for elementary school than the "Three Character Classic".

The reason is naturally very simple. For children, the empty scriptures are definitely not as interesting as the encyclopedias with pictures and texts.

Moreover, Su Ze also made punctuation marks on the book. Fang Zhifu felt that these marks were in the way at first, but soon found that it was much more convenient than punctuating sentences by himself, which further lowered the threshold for reading.

Hearing that some people with no children at home also started to buy this book, just for the sake of literacy, Fang Zhifu also felt very relieved, and education was originally one of the responsibilities of parent officials.

Scholars are not afraid that there will be fewer people who can read and write. These ordinary people are not literate for the imperial examination. If there are more literate people, they can read and understand the notices of the imperial court, which is a good thing for the local officials.

Fang Zhifu also knew the difficulty of writing this book. Not only did he need mixed knowledge, but he also had to be able to express the truth in simple sentences, which was beyond the reach of ordinary Confucian scholars.

Although Su Ze also has some content that is different from the mainstream in the book, such as the interpretation of the universe, or the last chapter of Gewu.

As a highly educated person, Fang Zhifu naturally understands Yangming's philosophy.

However, in Yangming's philosophy of mind, it doesn't seem to be what Su Ze meant by investigating things and extending knowledge?

But these little experiments that Su Ze wrote in Gewupian were quite interesting, and Fang Zhifu couldn't help but tried a few of them, and all got the same results as in the book.

Moreover, Su Ze not only explained these experimental phenomena in principle, but also gave a quantitative calculation method. The combination of physics and arithmetic made these small experiments more in-depth.

interesting.

Putting down the experiment in his hand, Fang Zhifu raised his head again and looked at the "rarely confused" hanging on the wall.

good word!

Fang Ruolan asked the servant to frame the words, but was cut off by Fang Zhifu and hung it in his study.

Fang Ruolan's teeth itched with hatred, and deliberately made the herbal tea more bitter, but Fang Zhifu still insisted on drinking the bitter tea for half a month, and took the words away.

Fang Zhifu spread out the paper and copied it according to Su Ze's words, but immediately crumpled it up after writing.

Although there are only four characters, Su Ze's calligraphy hides the technique of drawing bamboo, and the position of each stroke has been arranged delicately, so as to have this sense of order in chaos.

Without more than ten years of painting skills, it is necessary to mix the essence of calligraphers all over the world to write such characters.

Su Ze, a young man in his twenties, why can he write such words?

However, Fang Zhifu also knew about the meeting between his daughter and Su Ze, and ordered Fang Ruolan not to go out.

Fang Ruolan also knew that she was wrong, but through the Nursing Home, Fang Ruolan and Su Ze also communicated with each other.

Fang Zhifu put down his pen, the end of the year is coming soon, and the boy's test will be held in February after the new year.

The boy's test is divided into three sessions, namely the county test, the government test and the hospital test.

The county is presided over by the county, Baizhi County is the chief examiner, and Hai Rui, the county school teacher, is the invigilator. The topic is the county magistrate or the teacher.

Those who pass the county examination will immediately take the government examination in Yanping Prefecture in March.

At this time, the scholars who passed the county examination from all counties will gather in Nanping County, which relies on Guo, to participate in the government examination hosted by the government office.

For the prefectural examination, the magistrate is the examiner, and the professor of the prefectural school is the invigilator. The questions are given by the prefect or the professor.

After passing the government examination, you can take the Taoist examination organized in April and May at the Xuedao Yamen.

The topic of the Daoist Examination is set by the Fujian Provincial Education Administration, but it does not need to go to the prefectural city to take the exam, you only need to take the local exam in each prefecture.

Becoming a scholar is considered to be the lowest privileged class, and the qualifications to enjoy two people who are exempted from military service and enter the government school and county school.

At the end of the three exams, it was the provincial exam for qualifications.

The rural examination is about to go to Fuzhou Fucheng. The chief examiners of the provincial examinations are all appointed by the emperor. From the middle of Ming Dynasty, only Hanlin officials can take the position. From this aspect, it also shows the importance of the rural examination.

After all, as long as you pass the exam, you can be awarded an official.

The township examination is usually held in August. If Su Ze can be admitted to the scholar this year, he can also catch up with the Qiuwei in August.

A Juren must be selected!

Fang Zhifu set the minimum standard, and the requirements for juren in their twenties are not very high, right?

In fact, Fang Zhifu's requirements are really not high.

Modern people always think that the ancients were poor and poor, and they could only become Jinshi at the age of forty or fifty.

In fact, the average age of Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty was 37 years old. Although there is not enough sample statistics on the average age of Juren, the average age of Juren is only 26 years old in Fujian, a major province of imperial examination.

Reading this matter really depends on talent.

It doesn't mean that you can be admitted to Qingbei after studying for 40 years. Those who can really pass the exam can be admitted to Qingbei in their teens.

People in their twenties are actually very common. Even if Su Ze is a Jinshi at this age, the world will not be surprised.

The youngest Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty was fourteen years old.

Without a system, Su Ze really can't beat the scholars of this era.

Fang Zhifu and Hai Rui are having a very happy conversation now.

Fang Zhifu himself is not the kind of corrupt official, he also has pursuit of being an official.

The last time Fang Zhifu made a move against the Cai family with thunderous means, Hai Rui also admired the Fang Zhifu very much.

In the past, Hai Rui only knew how to restrain the powerful, but it was not until Fang Zhifu took action that Hai Rui knew how to fight against the strong.

Fang Zhifu also regards Hai Rui as a good friend. Although Hai Rui is just a recruiter, he has extraordinary reading knowledge and is really close to the people.

Fang Zhifu liked his personality very much, and told him a lot of difficulties in running a government.

After going back and forth, the two became friends.

Fangzhifu also got Su Ze's prototype (upgraded to Lv6) from Hai Rui, and after reading it, Fangzhifu was still a little worried.

It's no problem for Su Ze to pass the county examination to be a scholar, but the township examination Qiu Wei in August next year seems to be a little bit less interesting.

However, the new work that Hai Rui brought last time seems to be of a higher level. According to Hai Rui, if this article is placed in a place like Yunnan and Guizhou to participate in the provincial examination, it should be able to pass the exam.

The Ming Dynasty also had imperial examination immigration, but the imperial examination immigrants in the Ming Dynasty did not go to the north and south Zhili, but the north and south Zhili were the most popular places in the country.

The border areas like Yunnan, Guizhou and Liaodong are really suitable for immigration.

Let Su Ze immigrate?

Forget it, it's too far away. According to Hai Rui, Su Ze just learned the imperial examination system too late. He is very talented and his studies are progressing very fast.

The magistrate Fang also saw Su Zecai's trial work when he went to the county school to study. At that time, he really couldn't even pass the exam for scholar, but now the trial work is more than enough for a scholar.

This new work is much better than the last trial work, and this book is indeed making rapid progress in reading.

The chief examiner of the rural examination is an imperial official sent by the imperial court, and the prefect cannot influence it. Su Ze can only rely on himself for the rural examination.

Take it as a test for Su Ze. If you really fail the test, if you really can't, then get engaged first, right?

The township examination is held every three years, so you can't keep your daughter for another three years, right?

Fang Zhifu lowered the standard again, and suddenly felt that the words "rare and confused" on the wall were a little mocking.

"Put away that word and send it to the lady's room."

The magistrate Fang called for a servant, and when he saw the words "Mirror hanging high" on the government office plaque again, he immediately felt that these four words were much more pleasing to the eye.

The Chinese New Year is approaching. Although there are still Japanese pirates at sea, the land is basically safe.

The lives of ordinary people have returned to normal. This year is also a year full of disasters, but the New Year is always over.

After a busy year, it's time to relax.

The business of Su Ze's bookstore is booming.

Red paper is the biggest demand for Chinese New Year.

It was Ling Ling, the clerk from Yujia Bookshop last time, who reminded Lin Deqing to buy a batch of Qianshan red paper for the two shops, and he made a fortune a year ago.

Scholars visit relatives and friends to send red invitation cards, and ordinary people only use red paper during the New Year, and paste it at home to add a touch of festiveness.

Su Ze looked at the red paper coming in from Qianshan. Jiangxi Qianshan County is the most important papermaking base in Daming, and the red paper is made by dyeing ordinary paper with safflower juice.

But this red is far less bright than the red paper of later generations, it is just a touch of red.

The madder used to dye cloth and the safflower used to dye paper are actually light red in color, and the earliest truly bright red was extracted from cochineal insects.

Cochineal is a special kind of insect produced in the Americas, which feeds on cacti. After the Spaniards discovered this insect, they immediately brought it back to Spain, and only then did the bright red pigment paintings of the Renaissance appear.

Or send someone to Manila to have a look? Is there any cochineal dye?

However, there is not much profit in making red paper. The papermaking technology in the Ming Dynasty was very mature, and bamboo paper and leather paper were very developed.

Because there are many bamboos in the south, the price of paper is not high, otherwise Su Ze's newspaper cost would not be so low.

The clerk of the Yu family's bookstore is clever in his work, Lin Deqing has also found out his family background these days, and his identity is also in Zong Yuan's hands.

Su Ze simply poached him from Yujia Bookstore and arranged for him to be the shopkeeper of his own bookstore, but Lin Deqing was still in charge of book entry and accounting, and he was regarded as the shopkeeper of a branch.

Thank you very much for this buddy, and Su Ze recruited two other buddies who are smart and clean, and the business of the two bookstores is booming.

As the end of the new year was approaching, Hai Rui also stopped classes.

Hai Rui became an official at the beginning of this year, and officials in the Ming Dynasty could only take leave to visit relatives once every three years, so Hai Rui also stayed in Nanping for the New Year.

However, he has already planned to take over his mother and wife in the spring of next year, but the people from the village sent home New Year's items, and he is preparing for the New Year in the county school.

To Su Ze's surprise, Yu Zongyuan rushed back from Fuzhou Mansion, saying that he had taken sick leave in Zuowei, Fuzhou, and came back to celebrate the New Year first.

Su Ze was also speechless. The Fuzhou Zuowei was the court's David's office, and the officers and soldiers of the guards naturally had to spend the New Year in the guard. He, who just took office, dared to ask for leave.

In fact, if Yu Zongyuan didn't need to take part in martial arts next year, he wouldn't go to Fuzhou Zuowei camp at all.

For a boy like him, it is enough to receive a spare salary. Could it be that he really went to the barracks to practice.

But it's good to come back, so Su Ze went to Fuzhou to give gifts for the New Year.

Like modern people, people in Daming would give gifts to relatives and friends years ago.

Su Ze went to Nanping County this time to give gifts.

Now that they have a lot of money, the gifts should not be shabby, first of all, Lin Qingcai and Chen Chaoyuan, two classmates who are good friends.

Su Ze sent two sets of porcelains that were snatched at sea. Quanzhou has been the capital of porcelain in the southeast since the Song Dynasty.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the porcelain industry in Quanzhou City declined briefly, but now it has resumed its grand occasion of opening all kilns.

However, Quanzhou porcelain is a typical export porcelain, and its content and form are closer to the needs of buyers.

For example, Quanzhou porcelain craftsmen's level of painting Jesus is much higher than that of European craftsmen.

Naturally, Su Ze chose more Chinese-style porcelain. Lin Qingcai and Chen Chaoyuan accepted the gift in surprise, and returned the gift to Su Ze.

Su Ze from the Yu family also gave presents, Commander Yu and eldest son Su Ze sent a set of swords, and it is unknown which merchant ship they robbed.

Su Ze personally wrote a fan of the Peony Pavilion and gave it to Mrs. Yu, who loves drama and can't read a single word.

As for the number one angel investor, Second Young Master Yu, Su Ze came to the door in person and presented him with a set of exquisite jewelry.

Needless to say, it was also a robbery at sea.

The second son Yu was also proud, and presented the Fengyang horse to Su Ze on the spot.

The price of a horse is much more expensive than the jewelry Su Ze gave.

Yu Zongyuan said: "If it weren't for the military merits sent by Brother Su last time, I would only be a rich man in Nanping County in my life."

"My father said, after the martial arts exam, let me run it. If I can get an official status of a thousand households in the future, even if I can't pass it on to my descendants, I can keep my wealth forever."

Yu Zongyuan is still unwilling to fight for family property, but if he can also get a military job, it will be considered a good loss.

It was also agreed that Su Ze would go to Fuzhou Mansion to look for Yu Zongyuan after the next year, and Yu Zongyuan was busy returning to the mansion to prepare for the New Year, so he hurriedly bid farewell to Su Ze.

After delivering the number one angel investor, Su Ze went to the magistrate's yamen to deliver a greeting card and a gift to Fang Zhifu.

Fang Ruolan hasn't left the cabinet yet, if she was given a gift directly, she might be hunted down by Fang Zhifu.

Fang Zhifu gave Su Ze a sign, and Su Ze gave a gift for the benefit of his nephew and disciple, which is also a normal exchange of courtesy.

Su Ze gave two bottles of flower essence to Mrs. Li, one was rich and strong peony fragrance, and the other was fresh and elegant jasmine fragrance.

And what was given to Fang Zhifu was a pair of Su Ze's framed words.

What Su Ze wrote was Zheng Banqiao's famous essay "Run Shu Lun Shu" on his own calligraphy. This is not only a copybook, but also Zheng Banqiao's summary of his own calligraphy theory.

Zheng Banqiao's characters are six-and-a-half characters. There is a typeface in official script called "eight-point script". Six and a half is based on official script and added regular script.

And his characters are of different sizes, long and short, square and round, fat and thin, dense and dense, interspersed with each other, such as "a street paved with chaotic stones", and there are rules in the indulgence. It seems to be swaying with brushstrokes, but it produces a sense of jumping and agile rhythm when viewed as a whole.

This calligraphy is not only a display of calligraphy skills, but also a summary of calligraphy theory. Sure enough, Fang Zhifu was overjoyed to receive this gift, and hung it in the most conspicuous place in the study to copy it day and night.

Hai Rui would definitely not accept the expensive gift, so Su Ze racked his brains to transcribe all the prose he knew, and completed the first draft of "Guwen Guanzhi".

That day, he discussed with Hai Rui about compiling the book, and it was delayed for half a year due to various things. Su Ze only found time recently to finish copying the ancient prose.

As expected, Hai Rui couldn't put it down, and waited until the proofreading was completed and then typesetting and printing.

Baizhi County, Sun Dianshi, and acquaintances such as Mother Xiong and Huang Tiju all sent gifts, and Su Ze made some purchases in Nanping County.

When the government office and the county government sealed the seal and the shops were closed, Lin Xianyang, Lin Deqing and others who worked as errands in Nanping finally had a holiday.

A group of people returned to Changningwei with New Year's gifts.

The following New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve and New Year's greetings are no different from modern customs.

This year, Changningwei is full of food, and life is getting better and better. The ancestral hall paid for it and ordered a batch of fireworks from the fireworks maker in the city. With the fireworks all over the mountains and plains, Su Ze looked at the thriving Changningwei. Full of a sense of accomplishment.

And Su Ze's gift to Lin Mojun was a red-tasseled gun made of 100-year-old steel.

Looking at Lin Mojun's sassy way of swinging the spear flexibly, Su Ze felt that his strength attribute of 11 points was not enough.

The old grandpa, nine aunts and others also gave gifts, but it's a pity that the skill didn't improve at all.

Su Ze felt a little regretful. It seems that this kind of human relationship is at best a gift, and that skill cannot be mastered.

The new year in the guard made Su Ze busy until after the Lantern Festival.

The prefecture and county yamen reopened their seals, and the county government posted a notice. In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, the registration for the county examination in the year of Yimao began!

To be honest, the customs of the Ming Dynasty are very close to modern times, and there is no need for a large section of water during the Chinese New Year.

This chapter is to summarize the social relations operated by the protagonist.

In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, major events that happened in the court gradually became related to the protagonist.

Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for support!
