My life skills in Daming Liver

Having just accepted the congratulations from everyone, Su Ze is already the head of the government examination.

Like the chief of the county test, the chief of the government test will not be deposed in the Taoist test, which means that Su Ze's boy test has passed the test in advance.

Chen Chaoyuan also passed the cruel government test, so he was naturally very happy.

Lin Qingcai was sincerely happy for the two of them, and secretly made up his mind to study hard and take the exam well next year.

Although Hai Rui was very calm, he was also very happy in his heart. With the achievements of his two students, he could also encourage other children from poor families to study hard. He is worthy of his responsibilities as a county school teacher.

Naturally, everyone didn't mention congratulations, and soon Fang Zhifu's book boy came to the door and invited Su Ze to the prefect's house for a gathering.

Everyone looked at Su Ze, and Su Ze also understood why Fang Zhifu was looking for him. He smiled and said, "It's probably for the policy questions written in the government examination."

After saying this, Su Ze followed the book boy to Fang Zhifu's house.

In the back house of the magistrate's yamen, Mrs. Li was in Fang Ruolan's boudoir, and the other maids and mothers were cleared out of the yard.

Fang Ruolan lowered her head, Madam Li sat on the chair and said, "When did it happen?"

"Mother, my daughter has no affair with him."

"If that's the case, tomorrow mother will ask your father to find a scholarly family among old friends and marry you?"

Fang Ruolan's face turned pale.

Mrs. Li then said: "My daughter, of course I believe that this Su Ze has already been selected by your father. He has passed the boy's test. Your father said that if he can pass the provincial test and become a juren, he can be engaged gone."

Fang Ruolan's cheeks were completely red, and Mrs. Li looked at her daughter's appearance, and knew that her daughter had already been given for nothing psychologically.

She sighed and said, "You have been arrogant since you were young, and the men around you have looked down on you, so why do you only have eyes on Su Ze?"

Fang Ruolan lowered her head and did not answer, Madam Li said: "But your father's only talking about your marriage is useless. I have already asked your father to call Su Ze to the house. You have to pass my test."

"In addition, I also told your father that the Juren examination is only for engagement, and Su Ze is required to be admitted to Jinshi before the wedding."

Fang Ruolan held back for a long time, and finally said only one sentence: "It all depends on the parents."

Mrs. Li finished reprimanding her daughter and came to the main hall with Fang Zhifu.

Fang Ruolan waited for her mother to leave, immediately called the maid, and sneaked behind the screen behind the main hall.

Su Ze followed the book boy and walked through the Yimen of the prefect's yamen. This door is the gate that distinguishes the office area and the living area of ​​the prefect's yamen.

When they came to the main hall, Fang Zhifu and Mrs. Li were sitting in the hall. After seeing Su Ze, Mrs. Li's eyes lit up. The tall and tall Su Ze had an extraordinary bearing. No wonder his daughter, who has always been high-minded, liked him.

After Su Ze saw Fang Zhifu, he immediately saluted: "Student Su Ze has seen the prefect."

Su Ze's signature was taken by Fang Zhifu, and it was recorded by Fang Zhifu, so he can naturally be called a teacher.

Fang Zhifu also had a smile on his face, and immediately asked Su Ze to sit down.

Next came the short greetings from the parents. After listening to them, Mrs. Li was even more satisfied.

Originally, I didn't want my daughter to marry a big family, but I was afraid that my daughter would not be able to stand the anger of her husband's family after she married.

Su Ze's parents are both dead, and there is only one aunt to take care of. She has a clean and simple family background, and her daughter can run the family in the past.

Su Ze has an innocent family background and outstanding literary talents. It seems that her daughter can't bear the hardship.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li put down her stern face, and pulled Su Ze to talk about homework.

Now it is natural that the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more satisfied she is.

Fang Ruolan, who was hiding behind the screen, also breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing her mother's laughter, she knew that she recognized Su Ze.

Mrs. Li has always had a sharp mouth and a tofu heart, and she treats her father and uncle like this.

If she recognized her as a family member, then Mrs. Li would definitely defend her even more.

Fang Ruolan let go of her heart, but her ears blushed again.

Parents are satisfied, and the marriage between himself and Su Ze is half done. As long as Su Ze agrees, they can get married.

Will he agree?

Fang Ruolan didn't know either, but now she became entangled.

Su Ze didn't know the reason for Mrs. Li's presence. He just thought it was Fang Zhifu chatting with him. After a while, Mrs. Li stood up and said:

"Ru Lin will have dinner in the mansion today, and I will prepare it right away."

After finishing talking and leaving in a hurry with the maid, Fang Zhifu said with a wry smile: "This is how my wife does things, Ru Lin, let's talk about that policy theory."

Finally got down to business, Su Ze sat upright.

Fang Zhifu said: "I plan to make a decision to the imperial court, in your name."

Su Ze looked at Fang Zhifu in surprise. This means that Su Ze wrote an SCI paper in the final exam, and the tutor did not keep it for himself, but also published it in Su Ze's name.

Su Ze shook his head and said, "Students speak lightly. If the Master wants to make a move, it should be in your name."

Fang Zhifu said: "Your father should be older than me, I just wish to see him, a great Confucian, and call me Shishu in the future."

Fang Zhifu said again: "Do you know that as soon as this strategy is implemented, it will be able to rise to the top?"

Su Ze nodded and said, "Students still want to take the imperial examination."

This is of course Su Ze's excuse. Jiajing is a very casual monarch. He can suddenly put someone in court because he hates someone, or he can suddenly promote someone to a high position because he appreciates someone.

He even appointed officials to Taoist priests. Su Ze knew that if his "Seven Strategies of Jinghai" was really favored by the emperor, he might skip the imperial examination and be awarded an official position.

But Su Ze didn't want this. He still wanted to stay in Fujian, and he didn't want to get involved in the struggle of the court so early.

So when he wrote "Seven Strategies for Jinghai" in the examination room, he wanted to "give up" the credit to Fang Zhifu.

The reason Su Ze used is a reason that all scholars can recognize.

That is not to seek luck, but to get out of the imperial examination.

Those who are promoted and appointed by the emperor's favor are called "lucky advances". In today's civil service system, officials who are not qualified for imperial examinations are in high positions, and they will be regarded as lucky advances by serious officials.

Fang Zhifu was very satisfied with Su Ze's answer.

"Ru Lin is right to think so, the right way is to take the imperial examination."

Fang Zhifu said again: "Then, how about you and I going up to play?"

Su Ze shook his head and said, "Uncle Shi, let's play it in your own name. How can I lie about such important military affairs?"

Seeing Su Ze's resolute attitude, Fang Zhifu did not refuse any more.

Then Fang Zhifu asked about several details of the banknote customs law, how to manage the banknote customs, check the banknote tariffs, and how to prevent the banknote officials from blackmailing merchants.

By the time the question was over, it was already dark, and Fang Zhifu was still full of ideas, and felt that Su Ze was a good son-in-law.

If the "Seven Strategies of Jinghai" was really favored by the emperor, nine out of ten he would be promoted to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to implement the Qianguan Law.

Fang Zhifu already had the intention to wait for Su Ze to finish the Juren examination, and then transfer him to his side.

Why do you get married only after passing the Jinshi exam? It's a woman's opinion! A talent like Su Ze must be tightly tied. If he really can enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister in the future, then his family will need his help instead!

Of course, Fang Zhifu didn't know Su Ze's rebellious intentions.

Mrs. Li sent someone to urge dinner, so Fang Zhifu reluctantly took Su Ze to the back house for dinner.

This dinner was hosted by Mrs. Li and Fang Ruolan. Fang Ruolan is a female family member who has not left the cabinet, so naturally she can't attend. The prefect Fang and his wife and their eleven-year-old son were present at the dinner.

During the banquet, there was naturally something to be enjoyed by the guests and the host. After the meal, Fang Zhifu sent Su Ze to the door, and told him to study hard and prepare for the provincial examination.

"Father, is that my brother-in-law?"

Fang Ruotai asked suddenly.

Fang Zhifu was about to reprimand his son, when he heard his son say: "Father, you are finally going to marry off your sister! That's great!"

Mrs. Li often plays horseshoes outside, whether it is her brother's study or daily life, it is Fang Ruolan who worries about it.

The eldest sister is like a mother, Fang Ruotai is most afraid of her own sister.

Hearing that my sister was getting married, I was naturally happy to jump up.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li stood up and said, "From today on, my mother will personally urge you to go to school, and see how your books look like!"

Thinking of Su Ze's excellence, and thinking of her son's appearance, Mrs. Li became angry again.

"Your father is a Jinshi, and your uncle is a Juren, why did you come out of my family!"

Fang Ruotai almost fainted when he thought of the days when he would be forced to study in the future.

[The head of the government examination case, imperial examination experience +2000, imperial examination Lv7, 2078/3000]

The government examination was over, and the last county examination was also held in Nanping City, but the topic was Fujian Xuedao Yamen.

The passing rate of the college examination will be much higher, and there are not many candidates accumulated in the past, so there is no lively market scene before the government examination.

The day of the college exam was early April, and before the college exam, the Fujian Xuezheng had to visit various prefectures and counties to test the students' homework.

But because of the tense situation this year, Xuezheng was unwilling to go out of Fujian City, so this process was skipped, and the date of the college examination was a little earlier than in previous years.

Fang Zhifu’s policies were combined with the memorials of Fujian Provincial Zhengyin officials, and they were sent to the capital after the government examination. This is a major event for the court, and the memorials are all on the fast track for urgent military situations. The emperor should be able to see them soon. .

Fang Zhifu anxiously waited for the result of the performance, while Su Ze was studying in Nanping County, and soon it was the day of the college examination.

There are also more than 500 scholars in Yanping Prefecture who participated in the college examination, and the final selection of a college examination ranges from 30 to 50 people.

The college examination is also cruel, but for Su Ze, the head of the government examination, unless he writes anti-poetry on the paper, then according to the unspoken rules, he will definitely win.

There have been two exams, and the last one will naturally not be difficult for Su Ze.

The content of the college examination is simpler, that is, the examination of the Four Books and the Five Classics, and then a re-examination. If you pass it twice, you can be qualified as a student.

The only difference is that the papers for the college examination are handed over to the prefectures in the neighboring prefecture for correction, and each prefecture recommends five copies of the good papers to the Xuezheng Envoy, and the Xuezheng points out the first place in the examination.

Su Zecai, whose skills in the imperial examination were almost at level 8, said that this last exam was naturally no problem.

After quickly completing the test and handing in the papers, Su Ze finally relaxed.

Because the hospital examination needs to be corrected by the neighboring government, and it has to be handed over to the Xuezheng Yamen for the record, it will take longer for the correction, so Su Ze returned to Changningwei to wait for the final result.

Anyway, before the list was published, people from the government and county government came back to Changningwei to report the news.

Su Ze didn't pay much attention to the results of the hospital examination, but the people in Changningwei were very nervous.

Changning Wei finally produced a scholar. Su Ze has already won the first prize in the county and government examinations. Naturally, everyone hopes that he can win three yuan in a row.

Although the small three yuan is far less than the big three yuan, it is also a rare honor!

Others were eagerly waiting for the list to be released. During this period, Su Ze went to the mine again.

The purpose of Su Ze going to the mine is naturally to continue to search for treasures from Eunuch Hu.

Unexpectedly, he was caught by Little Eunuch You as soon as he entered the mine.

Little Eunuch You’s mercury thermometer has been made, but it’s a pity that the range of the mercury thermometer is limited, because the boiling point of mercury is only over 300 degrees, and glass cannot be put into molten iron, so the temperature made by Eunuch You has no effect in smelting. Instead, he became the baby of his godfather, Eunuch Hu.

Now relying on the thermometer, Eunuch Hu has completed many experiments again, and he is in a very happy mood.

Su Ze just remembered that it is not an easy task to measure the temperature of the molten metal.

The way to measure high-temperature objects is a metal thermometer, which is made by using the principle that different metals expand differently at high temperatures.

Metal thermometers can only measure temperatures below 700 degrees. To measure higher temperatures, optical temperature measurement is required, which is not possible in this era.

However, there is another method to roughly estimate the furnace temperature by using the melting temperature of different metals. Su Ze taught these principles to Little Eunuch You, and Su Ze returned to Changningwei with the last piece of natural crystal that Eunuch Hu treasured.

These days, apart from studying, Su Ze grinds his lenses in Changning Wei.

The observatory on Dong'ao Island has been set up, but the telescope still needs to be built by Su Ze himself.

Polishing the lens is a delicate job. This crystal was bought by Su Ze from Eunuch Hu with a book on the principles of chemistry. If you want to find such a transparent crystal in the future, you will have to go to the treasure market in Fuzhou Prefecture.

In addition to the lenses, Su Ze also made the lens barrels of the telescope himself.

The lens barrel of the astronomical telescope made by Galileo is made of copper. Copper is naturally the best material for casting the lens barrel, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is too expensive.

Su Ze had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, using a copper pipe as the base and then wrapping it with an iron sheet to complete the barrel.

The rest of the telescope has been shipped to the observatory on Dongao Island, and the starry sky can be observed only after the lens is polished.

Building the lens barrel allowed Su Ze's blacksmithing skills to break through to Lv4.

During this period, in order to calculate the rhythm and magnification of the lens, Su Ze's mathematical skills also increased crazily. Now the experience value has reached Lv4, 372/400, and will soon break through to Lv5.

Just before the release of the rankings, Manager Zhou of the tea garden came to Changningwei. It turned out that the day to discuss the tea tribute had arrived.

Cai Yuanwai, who was the leader before, has died. Su Ze now owns Cai Yuanwai's tea garden, so he naturally wants to attend the meeting.

Taking over the tea garden in the first year, Su Ze didn't interfere too much with the tea garden.

The Qingming Festival is coming soon, and the Mingqian tea before the Qingming Festival is actually not suitable for making black tea, so steward Zhou organized manual picking and frying tea.

Su Ze set off for the tea garden, and Fang Zhifu's Shangshu was finally placed on Emperor Jiajing's imperial case.
