The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 562: Top Scholars (two chapters in one)

There are two exams.

After posting scriptures in a satisfactory manner, the examinees once again ushered in the unique strategy topic of Guanzhou.

The question is about how to deal with the cold winter.

From county examination, government examination to today's hospital examination.

Exam questions are very different from previous years.

The information conveyed is enough for each candidate to understand the intention of the three tests in advance.

The moment everyone sees the title, they feel that the big stone in their hearts has fallen to the ground.

They are also prepared for the countermeasures against the cold disaster.

Some people praised the decision of the palace, and then made slight changes in some of the implementation details.

Some people see the big from the small, and suggested that the administration of Yongning be spread to all cities, and combined with what they have learned, to adapt to local conditions.

There was a lot of talk.

A book with ambition in mind!

Everyone thinks it's great that there is no limit to the number of words on the sidelines of this policy commentary!

Yan Lao Er thought the same way.

God knows how difficult it is to shorten and correct the essays. His excellent papers were forced to be revised to be mediocre, and they couldn't show his rare literary talent!

Looking at this kind of topic, isn't it just for people to come up with ideas, since it is an idea and what to do with a limit on the number of words, isn't the more the better!

Yan Lao Er is not worried that he has nothing to write, but he is worried that he wants to write too much...

...

The hospital has tried it, and this year's students will be freshly released.

Prefect Pang was not the examiner this time.

Xuezheng personally presided over this college examination, and he just sat with him and marked the papers together to show justice.

Visit the examination room as usual.

Da Daren was not surprised to see that familiar candidate again.

Still not looking up, the pen walks around the dragon.

Sheet after sheet of paper is used...

He stood and watched for a while, and saw that the examinee still didn't intend to stop.

Prefect Pang thought to himself, no wonder the prince specially instructed 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 curious too.

What exactly is written?

How is it compared to last time?

...

"Hahahaha!" Ying Wang Shulang's laughter came from behind the table: "This Yan Huai'an is so funny!"

"Look, look, these are all his drafts, others only have one or two, but he has ten!

According to what Pang Zhifu said, if he didn't feel that he didn't have enough time, he could still write.

Why is he talking so much?

Uh, what they said was pretty good. Although it was a little blunt, it had something to say, unlike other scholars, who were very vague. "

Wang Deshan smiled while sorting out the other test papers: "This Yan Er, he just talks a lot, can't stop talking, and people like to worry. There is nothing he doesn't care about in the village at home, and everyone in the village loves it. Ask his family, come and go, he is considered to have seen a lot of the world in Xiao'an Village, and he can chat with him for a few words...

It's just that he didn't succeed in studying, and he was forced by his elder brother to study for more than ten years before he is where he is today. "

The king of England was surprised and said, "Have you studied for more than ten years?" He looked at the draft in front of him again, and said, "That's really not a material for reading."

"No, if you didn't want to get practical talents this time, this Yan Er couldn't even pass the college exam, and it would be good if he could pass the government exam." Wang Deshan said softly.

"Wang Deshan, you said that you are not the person who invites the name, so why are you so selfless? Yan Huai'an's article is unpretentious. Whatever the king asks, he will answer whatever. Those who have seen it and heard it can think about it... don't care. Whether it can be done, he is really trying to think about how to let the people of Guanzhou survive this cold disaster, and his heart... is sincere."

Wang Deshan said "Ouch".

"My lord, you know people with your eyes. When I first saw this Yan Er, I felt that he was different from those fellow villagers who wanted to have a relationship with this old slave. It's strange. My lord, you are very knowledgeable and can describe it. Isn't it you? The children are sincere, honest, and sincere... Xiaoer is even more..."

"This king will take a closer look." The king of Ying interrupted him on purpose. This Wang Deshan always praises his grandson in different ways, which is really hateful.

"You can also cut wood in winter, and choose a person who is strong and healthy..."

"You can go fishing in the sea, the sea will not freeze, although fishing in winter is not easy, but it is also a way..."

"Building a greenhouse and growing vegetables in winter? Isn't...the cost too high? Huh? Can you grow mushrooms? Wang Deshan, have you ever heard of someone growing mushrooms?"

Wang Deshan whispered: "The old slave knows that the Yan family has set up a special room for trial planting, but I don't know if it will succeed or not."

"Since I dare to write, I should be somewhat sure, but mushrooms are slightly more expensive than vegetables, but if they are grown in a greenhouse..." King Ying shook his head.

Not worth it.

"Hey, I still want to go to Beirong, just thinking about other people's cattle and sheep... Well, I also analyzed it logically, saying that Beirong is more difficult to endure the severe cold, more people freeze to death and frostbite, there is a lack of medical treatment, and it is difficult for the weak to survive. Most of them died in this cold winter, and many of the cattle and sheep were frozen to death due to lack of protection...Look at this writing, it seems like he saw it with his own eyes."

The king continued to seek useful advice from a page full of "impassioned" vernacular.

What he read was the draft, but the full volume lacked interest.

Who doesn't like to read such an interesting article.

"Has Huju's militia recruited yet? I thought it would be after the beginning of spring, oh, it turned out that they went to the mountains to pick... meat? Hahahaha, this Yan Huai'an is really straightforward, yes, it is to pick meat, interesting!"

Wang Deshan squinted his eyes, the second time he talked about the militia, he didn't pay attention at first, but after listening a lot, he probably understood the child's thoughts.

However, he suppressed this matter and did not tell the prince.

The government examination coincides with the meeting, if the hospital examination is done, it is too deliberate, but it is not beautiful.

The King of England gradually looked up.

Although the writing is plain, it is easier to understand and understand, and there is no limit on the number of words, and because of the draft, Yan Laoer really let himself go, writing the whole article, as if someone was babbling in front of him.

One will say east, and the other will say west.

However, Yan Laoer remembered what his daughter said, and he wrote about the militia in particular.

How to recruit people, bring them directly into the mountains, and then pick meat all over the mountains, boil hot soup to warm up before and after entering the mountains, so as not to get sick, and the fur from wild animals is tanned to make clothes for the militia, and weapons and so on are temporarily used It's a stick, and it's more dangerous to meet a big beast, but because of the large number of people, the big guy dares to go up if he yells.

Let’s not talk about the troublesome and time-consuming tanning leather. It’s not as good as the sheep raised in Beirong. The sheepskin is really warm, with long hair, curly, thick, and can be made from a whole sheet, so you don’t need to fight any more. Sew again.

In short, he thinks the sheepskin jacket is the best and highly recommends it.

The King of England couldn't help laughing again: "He comes again and again, always bringing private goods with him, and it's just that he can't get through with Bei Rong."

Wang Deshan said softly: "When the tiger was in the city, Yan Er was in the city and rescued Mr. Tian. Mr. Tian was grateful for his kindness and accepted him as a student. He has been with him and taught him carefully."

The prince should still remember this relationship, but he still has to remind him what should be reminded.

Speaking of Hu Jucheng Break, the smile on King Ying's face slowly faded away.

"Send troops in winter..." He couldn't make up his mind!

Don't look at him enfeoffing the city of Guanzhou, sitting in one side.

But it's one thing to try the boy in advance, and it's another thing to go to Beirong.

The former has nothing to do with the overall situation, and only Guanzhou can act cheaply by urgently obtaining materials.

The latter mobilizes the frontier army and goes out on a large scale. Without the emperor's order, how dare he speak lightly!

Even he also felt that this winter for Beirong should be dangerous and a good opportunity for conquest.

But there is neither life nor food...

There are a lot of people affected by the disaster in Guanzhou, and he also went to war, and it is hard to explain whether he is above or below!

"It says on it that the barracks of the militia are made of igloos? I'm curious, can this igloo really be used for people?" The King of England clicked on the draft, thought for a moment, and said, "Wang Deshan, after making the list in the college examination, call this Yan Huai'an here. , I want to see you."

Wang Deshan didn't respond for a while.

King Ying raised his head suspiciously, and saw his Manager Wang was embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" asked the king.

Wang Deshan wiped off his unnecessary sweat, and said in a sharp voice: "My lord, this old slave is pleading guilty to you. This old slave has done something stupid for himself. This Yan Huai'an... Yan Er, is Xiao Er's father... has been in our house all the time. Come on, it's time to go..."

The king opened his eyes slightly.

"You mean, Yan Huai'an has to prepare for the exam and also work as an errand in the mansion?"

Wang Deshan looked at it from left to right, avoiding the most important and paying less attention: "A lot of people... went to the mansion before, and the Shizi Concubine presided over such a big event of disaster relief. Get in.

At this moment, I couldn't think of anyone who knew the basics and could do things, so I had to look for someone I trusted. The second child was the grandson of the old slave, and the character of the old slave in their family was trustworthy, so... sent a few things.

I really didn't expect that Yan Er was so lucky that he could pass the entrance examination all the way. Even Xiao Er said that her father was a child born talent, and the old slave heard a lot, so he believed it...

His name has always been hung in the mansion, no, after the college exam is over, tomorrow... someone will come. "

The King of England thought for a moment, then nodded slowly: "This king knows, it's because of your caution, Bei Rong sneaked into the banquet at the palace, and almost endangered Mian'er... Ning Que must not be careless when employing people in the future."

Wang Deshan hurriedly replied: "My lord is wise, but this old slave is timid and thinks too much."

"My king is always at ease when you do things." With a wave of the king's hand, the matter was overturned.

As for whether Yan Huai'an took advantage of the palace by not doing any work under his name, the King of England said that we are very generous and don't care about these three melons.

"By the way, where did the eagle go? The king didn't see it this morning, did he change places? Or... did the eagle really starve to death?"

The King of England likes small animals, such as cats, dogs, and birds.

I had raised a few before, but they either died of illness or died of old age. Later, the income of the royal family was not as good as every year, and he was required to subsidize and spend money everywhere, so I lost my mind.

It happened that Wang Deshan ordered people to find out the scaffolding, and called a master who can boil eagles to take care of it. He pretended not to know it, but actually secretly went to see it several times.

Knowing that Xiao Er picked it up from the snow, he still muttered to himself why he didn't have such luck.

Eagles are not easy to catch.

Although the goshawk picked up was always on a hunger strike, it looked different from the eagles he had seen before.

Going on a hunger strike and eating when you are too hungry, what does this prove? Prove that the eagle is smart!

He tried to get closer, but every time the eagle looked like it was going to pounce, but it kept silent, and its intention of intimidation was even more serious.

The King of England couldn't let it go even more, and couldn't forget it.

"The eagle also recognizes people. Knowing that Xiao Er saved it, it ate whatever it was fed to. Xiao Er's child heard that it was on a hunger strike, and felt distressed, so he begged the old slave to take him home first, but the old slave and her It's settled, Bo Ying will still come back, we have all the things in our house, besides, there is Master Fan here." Wang Deshan replied in a soft voice.

The King of England is relieved, as long as he still comes.

He looked at Wang Deshan, and suddenly laughed: "You old bastard, did you do it on purpose? Is it so rare for that child to come and live here for a while?"

Wang Deshan smiled shyly, with dense fine lines appearing in the corners of his eyes: "Xiaoer is the grandson of the old slave, and in the future he will take care of the old slave, so he should come to live with him from time to time. Wherever the prince is, he belongs to the old slave." Home, wherever the old slave’s home is, that’s where Xiao Er should be..."

...

"Master Xuezheng, you can read these two articles again, and you have to decide who to take the first name." Prefect Pang kindly pointed out.

"The name of the imperial examination is for the sake of fairness and justice in the selection of candidates! What does the magistrate Pang mean by this?" Xuezheng stared angrily with his eyes straight.

The vague name is true.

But at their level, it is not difficult to know who wrote the test paper under the vague name.

There are only so many scholars in Guanzhou, and the outstanding ones have already been registered in their hearts. They know who will win and who will not.

Don't look at the prince's impromptu question, it's not too bad.

Guanzhou is not like other big cities, students can't write colorful articles, and the pragmatic words are more and more from the heart.

See words and see people.

Of the two unnamed test papers, one is Yan Huaian's and the other is Yan Xiangheng's.

The two are uncles and nephews, students of the same subject, and it will be a good story for a while.

Yan Xiangheng is the first in the county test, the first in the government test, and if he can be the first in the hospital test, he will be the rare Sanyuan in Guanzhou.

As for Yan Huai'an, after all, at that age, with profound experience and good words, it is not surprising that the prince favors him, but based on the two articles, Yan Xiangheng is even better and deserves the first place.

Mr. Xuezheng... your words are high-sounding, but you can do things...

Your flattery may not be able to photograph the prince's buttocks!

Prefect Pang sighed in his heart.

After thinking about it, I persuaded him again: "My lord... may not have that kind of meaning. You and I have been in Guanzhou together for many years. You should know that your lord is very pragmatic. He came up with the last strategy in the government examination. The student has it, tell me what kind of person he wants to choose, but he doesn't want to completely overthrow the imperial court's examination, there are two court examinations... the government believes that there should be a compromise between the two, and the best one will be the leader."

It's not because of the prince's comment, the ranking is determined according to his preferences.

How unfair that is to other students.

"I'm a government official, and I'm also the main examiner. I'm a huge person, so I just need to do my job well." Master Xuezheng said lightly.

Prefect Pang didn't say anything more.

Little Sanyuan is a pity.

But in the end, it's just a boy's test. It doesn't matter if you are the top scholar or not. The first step in your official career is to hang high on the list and win the promotion.

...

Yan Yu was dumbfounded when she saw the number one on the list! ! !

What the hell? !

Are her eyes blurred?

Rub it with your hands twice.

Take a closer look!

First name! First name! Still the first name!

Her father! Yan Huaian! Second Yan! It's the first name!

The second is her eldest brother, Yan Xiangheng's name is neatly written next to it.

Her father surpassed her elder brother? ? ?

"ah--"

Yan Yu heard the boss scream.

Turning around, no surprise, it was her father.

Yan's second child is like the little rooster in the family who is always strangled by Rong Rong's neck and can't make a sound.

Except for the first sound, there was no more movement.

Second Yan: ...

shock! stupid! shock! stupid! Surprised... damn it!

I... I am number one?

"Father! You actually got the first place in the exam!" Yan Yu ran over and still couldn't believe what he saw.

"Brother, you came second in the exam!" Yan Yu turned around and said.

Yan Xiangheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was actually under a lot of pressure from the little Sanyuan in the mouth of others, and it was much easier not to get the first place.

The root cause is that Yan Xiangheng has always remembered that the talents of Guanzhou Mansion have always been easy to pass the exam. If he is in his hometown of Qishan Mansion, he is nothing.
