Chapter 516: Home guesses are just a matter of words

There are still ten days left before the autumn examination, and more and more people in the capital are increasing.

Most of the juren who had not passed the spring exam today did not go back and continued to stay in the capital, looking for someone to ask for help while communicating with his peers.

The imperial examination is not only about how it is written on the paper during the exam, but also about reputation and recommendations from others. Almost all students who want to take the exam, regardless of their level, must find a place to show their talents.

Go to a restaurant to drink, go to a tray to fill out a poem for the girl, and try your best to promote yourself, and get familiar with it first. There is another trick in it, that is, people who gather together do not have to care about the quality of what others write, nor do they have to worry about whether the opinions expressed by others are reasonable. As long as you have the chance, you can praise them.

You praise others today, and maybe others will follow you tomorrow, as if you are happy and me.

So many poems and essays appeared in the capital, and they were praised in the circle, but the girls sang fewer, and some girls were of higher level than students, so they didn’t bother to sing.

This trend has been around for a long time. In the past, people had no knowledge and would talk to each other when they heard others say goodbye. But now it is a bit different. Those with children at home are in school.

Most people don’t know what the school in the distance looks like. Perhaps it is also teaching the laws of the Tang Dynasty and poetry. However, schools around the capital rarely teach children to write poetry directly.

This school learns the practices of the schools in Sanshui County and Baoxin County. As soon as children enter school, they first learn children's songs. They don't have to understand words, but as long as they can memorize them. Usually, the rules of the school are written into children's songs, so that the children have a little discipline.

Then I learned the pinyin, which was different from the pinyin of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan at that time, because the pronunciation of the characters at this time was different from theirs at that time, and the children could not be as proficient in many languages ​​as they were the two of them. The best way was to pronounce Erya.

How to pronounce Erya in it, children will follow the pronunciation, and there is still twenty-six letters. There is no pronunciation that cannot be spelled when combined. In this way, the masters who used to say Erya would not object, after all, it was Mandarin in the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, it is faster to learn. You don’t have to use the pronunciation of other characters when reading one character.

Children spend most of their time in the early stages of school enrollment and their efficiency is dozens of times that of the original one. After learning a large number of children, they will learn to read compositions.

This essay was not written by someone, but was written by a child from the Zhuangzi School of Zhangwang, Sanshui County before. It was very simple.

After two years, I started reading normal books, such as the Book of Songs, Selected Writings, etc. I didn’t have to understand the meaning, and I could memorize it smoothly. Then there was a ‘teacher’ who gave me the translation and explained it from shallow to deep.

As a result, after studying in school for five or six years, the children's appreciation level will also improve. As for the score, the teacher will look at the different personalities of each child and which aspect they learn is best to focus on cultivating, which is the real quality education that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan need.

As for what foreign languages, children don’t need to learn at all. That’s a branch that they want to continue learning after graduating from ‘elementary school’, and do not require all children to be proficient in which foreign language.

According to Li Longji's words, "In the future, whenever the sun rises, people there must be able to say what I said to me, the Tang Dynasty. Why do my Tang Dynasty children waste that time?"

People who study foreign languages ​​also do it to study the history of other countries in the future.

With so many children with good appreciation levels, those students who write misunderstanding poems are in trouble. They often hear poems from students from restaurants, tea shops, and small shops. They often encounter children in such places pointing out in person how the poem is written in a mess.

After waiting for the arrival of the autumn examination, Wang Juan, who went to take the exam together, learned about this situation and said to Zhang Xiaobao with a smile: "Do you think you should take out the modern poetry and let the children who have finished elementary school learn now?"

"Morning style poetry? What's wrong?" Zhang Xiaobao was also studying hard. He was about to take the exam, so he had to review it anyway. Although the position of the top scorer had been determined, he couldn't fail. Since it involved a lot of literary content, he naturally had to have a good score.

Otherwise, the shame would be too great. When my father was the top scorer in the first place, he found someone and used a lot of conditions to exchange it. However, his father's paper was not bad at all, and no one would refute it even based on his knowledge alone.

What Zhang Xiaobao is now looking at the papers for the top scorer who has been admitted to the Jinshi class this year. He found a rule from it, waiting for the exam to win the top scorer.

Wang Juan is also studying, and she also wants to see how she is. She will not give it to Zhang Xiaobao easily. Although she has almost been confirmed that Zhang Xiaobao is the top scholar in literature and the top scholar in martial arts. She is waiting to finish the liberal arts exam. When she is in martial arts, she participates in shooting, fighting, and placing troops, but she still wants to cause some trouble for Zhang Xiaobao and put pressure on Zhang Xiaobao.

So she was also reading a book, looking at Zhang Xiaobao's confused look, and said, "I don't even know about the recent poetry. I still want to take the top scorer in the exam like you? Wait for me to get the top scorer in both civil and military affairs."

"I don't know if the recent poetry cannot be the top scorer in the exam. Is there another one in the Tang Dynasty now? Is there any modern poetry? What is modern poetry? Tell me about it." Zhang Xiaobao's eyes did not leave the paper, and he replied directly to Wang Juan.

"Modern poetry is a poem written strictly according to the rhythm of the poem. It requires that the parallelism and the ping are not wrong. If you can't write the ping Ping Ze Ze Ze Ping, you can't write the ping Ping Ping Ping. For example, the seven-character verse is the ping Ping Ping Ping, and its first sentence must be Ping Ping Ze Ze Ze Ping Ping, and it is not just this. In the absence of a special situation, you have to follow... Zhang Xiaobao, have you listened to me?"

When Wang Juan was telling Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Xiaobao's head was looking at the paper bit by bit, and his concentration made Wang Juan suspicious.

Zhang Xiaobao was still nodding.

"Zhang Xiaobao."

"Ah? Tell me, I'll listen." Zhang Xiaobao heard Wang Juan's voice become louder, raised his head blankly, looked at Wang Juan and said.

Wang Juan gritted his teeth, "Zhang Xiaobao, I remember telling you before? Today you said you don't understand, are you pretending to be stupid with me? Put away your little thoughts and I just wasted my time? Do you think you can learn a lot in this time?"

Wang Juan finally understood that Zhang Xiaobao was watching hard there and then asked himself to say that he would not be able to watch it. Seeing Zhang Xiaobao playing with such thoughts, Wang Juan felt amused and crying.

Zhang Xiaobao, who had seen through, put down the paper awkwardly, smiled at Wang Juan, and said, "The modern poetry is just that. It is used to enhance students. If you really say that, many of Li Bai's poems are completely unqualified, as well as Bai Juyi and Du Fu's. How many of these poets in the Tang Dynasty wrote are all modern poetry?

Look, what is Li Bai's poem "How can he bow his eyebrows and serve the powerful?" What kind of poem do you think is this? Is it a seven-character or five-character? I feel that many poems written by Li Bai are actually not poetry but not lyrics. Oh, if there is a conclusion, then I think it is a lyrics because someone has composed music for him, right?"

"The people now are better than ours at that time. People at that time thought they could write poems by just a few lines of words, especially many writers, who wrote the nonsense things one by one, and they were also embarrassed to show off."

Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao had brought Li Bai out, Wang Juan could no longer use this modern poem to talk about Zhang Xiaobao, so he had to extend the topic.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said, "By the way, especially many officials, who have not done their job well, just write the garbage to publish it, and...."

"Don't just talk about the officials." Wang Juan saw Zhang Xiaobao's spearhead pointing at the officials again, and quickly called him, and then said, "You just said Li Bai, what did you think Li Bai is doing now? I haven't seen him for a while, and Wang Wei is so weird."

"Li Bai? Didn't he be a capitalist in the Ministry of Revenue? Let him take it in front of him. It's much bigger than the official he was in history, and he has real power. He should thank me." Zhang Xiaobao had some impression, and said, picked up the paper and continued reading.

"I wonder if he can write so many poems. It's hard to choose, it's hard to choose." Wang Juan shook his head, unable to understand this problem, and he also read the book.

The two of them said that Li Bai was not in the capital at this time, and he did not plan to take the imperial examination. If he really wanted to take the exam, he would not be able to get the exam at all. Now he was sitting on the train, moving towards another place with the rumbling sound and the shaking of the carriage.

Sitting opposite him was another person Wang Juan mentioned, Wang Wei.

The two received a task to inspect the river conditions in several places around them. Recently, the rain has been heavy in some parts of the Tang Dynasty and there is no intention to stop.

In order to urge the local government to do their best and express the current emperor's importance to water conservancy projects, the capital city sent several teams to visit not far away. The rivers on the capital city are relatively concentrated.

The two of them are now going to Hongnong, a tributary of the Honglu River. Recently, it is said that officials there are greedy for money to repair water conservancy, and it is easy for them to happen. Li Longji has no time to take care of them. Others sent them there and are afraid that they can't control the situation, so they took Li Bai and Wang Wei over.

Li Bai belongs to the Ministry of Revenue and is in charge of land and taxation. Wang Wei was borrowed to the Ministry of Works and was responsible for water conservancy projects. It was considered joint law enforcement. However, he did not bring anyone around him. He now took care of the local government to borrow people. This made the two of them feel a little worried, fearing that the task would not be easy to complete.

"Are there anyone who wants wine? A serving of five cents and four plates of side dishes." Li Bai and Wang Wei were sitting opposite each other and thinking about things at the same time, the person who was hawking the train came over.

This train has no food truck compartments, which is too wasteful. What's more, the train has a lot of wood structures, and is worried about the fire, so it can only be sold by people, but the price is not expensive, just like the ordinary snack bars in Beijing and Luoyang.

Zhang Xiaobao's proposal was because he took the train at that time, and the things he sold on the train were expensive, but not too many people bought them. Many people who were prepared to take the bus bought them before getting on the bus.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaobao decided to have a measure that is to facilitate passengers, that is, the price of things sold on the train is not high and affordable. It is actually fair, but it is actually fair based on the prices of Beijing and Luoyang. It is not really affordable, but that is not bad.

But Wang Juan didn't think so. She felt that before Zhang Xiaobao went abroad to develop, she must have had a train ride, and she didn't have enough money to buy a box lunch. She was hungry and could only drink free hot water to get enough water. That's why, Zhang Xiaobao denied this.

The truth about the train selling things at a fair price was buried, but the things were good. Wang Wei stumbled his mouth and took out five coins from his sleeve's hidden pocket, folded them into a single piece, and did not place them one by one.

He said to the seller: "Give me one, do you have chess? Buy one too."

"Okay, the wine you want." The seller put a wooden wine 'jar' on the place where things were placed between two people, poured it with another pot, and took out two small wooden wine cups, followed by four plates of side dishes, and said, "The wine jar and wine cup are borrowed, and they are not allowed to be taken away. There are also chess, what kind of chess is needed?"

Wang Wei was on the train for the first time and was surprised. He looked at the seller, then the wine and food in front of him, and asked, "What if I took away the things secretly? For example, what should you do if you put the dishes on this small plate?"

The seller was stunned, then lowered his head and didn't know what to say, he hesitating without saying anything.

"Tell me, we are officials of the court." Li Bai also wanted to know what the consequences would be if something like that happened? Could someone check his things when he went out? Or would someone please stare at him? When he got in the car, he did not ask him and Wang Wei to show any certificates, and he could not find anyone.

The seller looked at the two people carefully and it was difficult to judge whether they were officials for a while, but he knew that the two people were definitely not ordinary people, and the materials used in clothes were better, and they looked almost the same.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally spoke, "Actually, I just said that, just reminding you to take away the things. It is not really not for you to take them. It is not easy to deal with if you don't take them."

"Huh?" Li Bai and Wang Wei made a puzzled noise at the same time, looking at the seller in confusion.

Without two people continuing to ask, the seller continued, "You two can look at the jar of wine and the dish serving dishes, and you will understand after reading it."

Li Bai pinched the edge of a plate and picked it up to see it. Wang Wei also took the wine cup to observe. When he looked, he found that there were carved strokes and words on it.

There was a train on it, and it was written with the words "Perfect Safe All the Way". I looked at each other but still didn't understand what it meant.

The seller waited for the two of them to finish reading and said, "Actually, this is a solution that someone has come up with to make the passengers on the train spend more money."

"How can you spend money? Isn't it just a profit if you take it?" Li Bai asked.

"Now it's profitable, because there are words and drawings on it. Take the train and you can show it to others to let others know that you have taken the train. Since you have taken it, people who have not taken it will naturally be curious and think you are a decent person. They will ask you what it feels like to take the train. Will you say it at that time?"

The seller explained it and asked back.

Wang Wei thought about it carefully and looked at Li Bai. Li Bai nodded. The two of them understood that this was an opportunity to show off. The train was only available between Chang'an and Luoyang. Others didn't know what came out first, but they had taken it by themselves. When someone asked, of course they had to give it a good feeling.

For example, when I arrived at Hongnong, an official asked and told them about it, it seemed that it was really good.

Wang Wei put down the wine cup, "Even if that is the case, what does it have to do with making money? I guess you will give it this time, that is, you will keep a capital, and there is no profit at all, right?"

"You are right, sir." The sellers call the goods according to the identity of two officials. "Now, the food and food sold on the train is indeed a book that others take away, but within this month, after the train runs for a month, if you want this thing when you want it, you have to leave a deposit. One set costs five cents, otherwise you will change to another kind of thing that is painted on paper without words or drawings.

If two people take the train together, one person leaves a deposit and then takes the things away. The other person is reluctant to leave and does not take them away. The two people are from the same village. When they go back and brag about taking the train, others naturally believe in people who have something.

This is not compulsive. If you want to take it, just take it. If you don’t want to take it, then forget it. Those who don’t want to spend this money will naturally not get more money. Do you think this is the reason?"

The seller continued to introduce his business ideas.

Wang Wei and Li Bai nodded one after another. Indeed, they admitted that this trick was too high. When bragging, they had to take out some decent things.

"I wonder who came up with this solution?" Li Bai asked curiously.

Wang Wei thought about it for a little while and asked: "Is it the idea that Duke Zhang Jieming came up with? I guess they are the only ones who do this."

Wang Wei, who knows Zhang Xiaobao, does not think that this trick can be figured out by ordinary people. It is too weird. This is a special trading method. According to Zhang Xiaobao, it is called a marketing strategy.

The seller first nodded, then shook his head and said, "It's not the method that Mr. Zhang said. Mr. Zhang is so busy, so he has no time to care about this. Moreover, the new method is to just start trying today, and someone put forward the suggestion yesterday.

In fact, this is the solution that Xiao Bei from the Zhang family came up with. They took a while yesterday and went back today. It seemed like they were sitting and playing. They told the people from our train when they were taking the ride yesterday, so we immediately found someone to make a batch."

"Miss Xiaobei? Who? Oh~! Xiaobei, Zhang Xiaobei?" Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, guessing who it was. At first, he thought it was an adult, so he didn't expect it to be a child. After reading the name, he finally knew who it was and couldn't help but tremble.

Li Bai's face also changed slightly. He and Wang Wei both knew Xiao Bei's lethality. No matter how important the child had to discuss during the morning court, the emperor and the ministers had to discuss important things. As long as she needed it, she would rush to Hanyuan Palace and rushed over twice, and the two officials were in trouble.

She is clearly an official killer, and no one else dares to impeach her.

"It's indeed amazing." Wang Wei said another sentence.

"Where is the chess? It's also free now?" Li Bai looked into the cart.
