Through the five elements, heavenly stems, earthly branches, and four seasons, it has always been the ultimate goal of the Farmer School to establish a unified theory that can explain the mysteries of heaven and earth and the reincarnation of all things.

This proposition is too grand and profound. It is impossible to truly answer it, not even a first-class farmer can do it.

But because of this, everyone can get points from the last question.

Officials only need to answer according to the current theory and write down the things they memorized by rote, and they can still get two or three points out of twenty.

If you can slightly relate the five elements, heavenly stems, earthly branches, and four seasons, you can get half of the points.

If you want to go higher, you have to come up with something new.

But it should not be too outrageous, and it should be based on existing theories, otherwise it would be "making things up", and even experienced agricultural officials may not be able to do it.

So since it is difficult to come up with new ideas, why do we have to ask this question?

Because the theory of the Five Elements and Four Seasons is very important, all Sinongs will refer to the Theory of the Five Elements and Four Seasons to cast spells when making solar terms orders.

If the four seasons are not apparent, then the four seasons must be determined. How to determine them? They must be determined with the five elements.

If the four seasons are chaotic, then change the four seasons. How to change it? We still need to use the power of the five elements.

So this question is basically timeless.

"Officials are free to answer questions and write down their own opinions and guesses, but the answers must also be based on the examiner's preference."

"If the examiner is from the Tianshi School, then he must use the theory of the book 'The Great Five Elements of Heavenly Time' to get to the topic. If the examiner is from the 'Tianli School', then the theory of 'Tuwang Jixia' is most appropriate."

"If it's the Self School? It's the 'Yin Yang Five Elements Self Sutra'. However, the Self School is weak. The ideas of this school are not popular and are not close to the mainstream theory. Using it to get to the point is a strong answer." Zhao Xing

Secret passage.

The ego school believes that living beings have their own set of natural clocks, which are simply called the "biological clock". The five internal organs are matched with the five elements, and the other organs of the body are matched with the heavenly branches and the earthly stems.

This theory is called the "Small Five Elements and Four Seasons Theory", also known as the "Inner Five Elements and Four Seasons Theory". Judging from the name, it is obvious that it is not accepted by the mainstream and is relatively unpopular among the niche.

But after the revival version and the rise of the ego sect, this theory became popular and crushed other schools of thought.

Because ‘pure soil can be developed in the body’, ‘the Dantian can breed original species’, and one can even look inside the heaven and earth and form a world of its own.

But if you write it now, even people from the I-go group will think you are a lunatic, because at present, the most you can do is 'open up the pure soil' and create a world of its own within your body? Are you crazy?

So Zhao Xing ruled it out directly.

"The earliest Five Elements chapter uses A to match wood, B to match fire, Wu to match earth, Geng to metal, and Ren to match water. But the correlation is too weak, and the coordination of the four seasons is not considered at all."

"Later, the four seasons were divided into three months: 'Meng', 'Zhong' and 'Ji'."

"The three months of spring are Mengchun, Zhongchun, and Jichun. They are located in the east. The five elements belong to wood, and they are matched with A and B."

"Mengxia in summer, two months in midsummer, is located in the south. The five elements belong to fire, and it is paired with Bing and Ding."

"The third month of summer, "Ji Xia", is located in the center. The five elements belong to earth, and it is matched with Wu and Ji."

"The three months of autumn are Mengqiu, Zhongqiu, and Jiqiu. They are located in the west. The five elements belong to gold and are paired with Geng and Xin."

"Winter has three months of Mengdong, Middong, and Jidong. It is located in the north. The five elements belong to water, and it matches Rengui."

This is the mainstream ‘Tuwang Jixia theory’.

Zhao Xing didn't intend to give a good answer, because he basically wouldn't lose points in the past, which was enough to stand out from this assessment, so he copied the mainstream theory and copied it.

In this way, you can get a score of 30% no matter what.

"If this question is passed in the official temple exam, I can add some improvements. The current five elements are not balanced with the moon. Fire and earth are too weak, and the total is only matched for two months."

"Would you like to put in a little perspective first?"

Zhao Xing thought about it for half an hour, but never moved his pen.

In the end he decided to write two more sentences.

"The five elements are nothing more valuable than earth. Earth is in charge of the four seasons, and everything is destined to it. It does not share the fame with fire."

"Use wood, fire, metal, and water to control one season each, with earth in the center, and holding the rope to control the four directions."

After writing these two sentences, Zhao Xing stopped answering. This is just a slight improvement of the imbalance of the five elements and the moon, and it is not a big change.

In fact, it excludes "earth" from "unifying the four seasons" and gives it the false name of "controlling the four directions".

But it is enough. For a small official to write these things already shows that you are very thoughtful.

In fact, this is the prototype of the later generations' "Tu Wang Four Seasons Theory", but Zhao Xing does not intend to release the improved "Tu Wang Four Seasons Theory" now. Virtue is not matched, and talking too much will bring disaster.

After answering the last question, Zhao Xing found that it was already dawn and it was already the next day.

"The exam started in the afternoon, and now it's the next morning, and it took me so long to answer it? It seems like I've been thinking about the last question for too long."

A true academic master must consider controlling his scores. In the last assessment, Zhao Xing not only controlled his own scores, but also controlled the scores of others.

This time I had to consider the actual impact, so I thought about it longer.

"I'm starving to death. I haven't even eaten. The food here is cold."

After becoming rich in Laohe, Zhao Xing no longer looked down upon the cold 'staff meal'.

Anyway, I planned to hand in my papers in advance and leave the examination room to go to a restaurant.

Zhao Xing sorted out the answer sheets without missing a single sheet, and walked towards the invigilation hall holding them.

It's not completely light in the morning, but patrols and invigilators are not lax. If it's a formal temple exam, even the Yin God will come to invigilate the exam to prevent ghosts from helping people cheat!

"Huh? Why did you hand in the paper so early?" Xue Wenzhong was sitting in the hall, looking at Zhao Xing who walked in with the guard, and couldn't help but frown.

He thinks Zhao Xing is too arrogant. He finished the exam before half of the exam time has passed?

He naturally knew the difficulty of the questions Xue Wenzhong asked. In order to select talents, he submitted them to the county. Each subsequent exam was more difficult than the last.

Zhao Xing's understanding of magic is good, but theory is another thing. A muscular man may not necessarily produce beautiful articles.

"Did being on the armor twice make him arrogant?"

Zhao Xing handed in the answer sheet and then saluted: "My lords, I will hand in the answer sheet."

Gao Linong, Tang Wanchun, and Pang Yuan were quite surprised when they saw this. Their thoughts were similar to Xue Wenzhong's. You can finish it in such a short time?

But then he calmed down his expression, showing no sadness or joy, and there was a thought in his heart:

Okay, okay, I'm not afraid that you're crazy, but I'm afraid that you're not crazy enough. The first paper you hand in, we will review it carefully and don't give in!

Chen Shijie had a different view from them. His confidence in Zhao Xing was far greater than that of others. This was due to his natural trust in his 'confidant'.

"Okay, the first one to hand in your paper, I saw you correctly. Please wait here for a moment. I will review your results soon."
Chapter completed!
