Chapter 111 Is the eight-legged essay so difficult?

Early the next morning, He Jin rushed to the yamen in a hurry. When he arrived at the signing room, he found that Yao Jing was slowly using breakfast.

Looking at He Jin's frowning look, Yao Jing couldn't help but realize that this kid had hit a nail in the state school.

But before he could laugh, He Jin's face changed and he smiled happily: "It just so happened that I was in a hurry to come, and I didn't have enough food at home... Yao Fu, come and add another pair of chopsticks!"

The smile on Yao Jing's face that had not yet bloomed suddenly froze: This child is getting more and more shameless. It's true that he gets angry when he sees him!

However, when I was asking He Jin about something, Yao Jing was too lazy to care about these things, and said, "You have observed the reform of the third yamen runners and the punishment room for punishment. It is indeed a model of governance."

"Now that Liu Duan has also been beaten by you, I want to reform other houses while the court has not appointed new officials, and hold the power firmly in my hands. What do you think?"

He Jin grabbed a soup dumpling, frowned and chewed it for a few times before saying, "The time is not very ripe. Now the operation of the three yamen runners and the punishment room depends on the management fees of Yaqian Street. The master has donated four charity organizations in the dry shares of Gushan Coal Mine."

"But reforming each house requires a lot of silver as a backing... How big is the amount of food you can eat, according to the disciples, this matter has to be done step by step, and it is safer to reform a soft persimmon ceremonial room first."

As he said that, He Jin's thoughts gradually opened up and continued to explain: "In this way, when other rooms see the difference between the torture and the etiquette rooms, they will definitely be eager for it. At that time, when the cold winter passes, the master will no longer be tied up by the four major institutions, and he will take the opportunity to take down the house."

"When all the taxes in the whole province are controlled by the master, they have power and money... At that time, wouldn't the master change whatever he wants?"

Yao Jing opened his mouth for most of the day, but he didn't send the soup buns on the chopsticks in.

Looking at He Jin who was eating deliciously in front of him, he couldn't help but wonder about his life: this child actually made a year-long plan in the yamen after eating a soup dumpling?

Moreover, this plan is incisive and feasible, and it is simply impeccable. Especially, it is mature and persistent, without any fireworks and swords. It is like an old man who has been tempered for many years in the officialdom!

On the contrary, I am a little old, but I am very happy to make achievements when planning and doing things, and are eager for quick success and instant benefits.

Although He Jin is a sloppy person and acts in a mysterious manner, he is meticulous and meticulous in his work and is completely different from his master and apprentice.

"Then, that's OK, just do what you said..."

After saying this, Yao Jing's eyes turned again. Thinking that He Jin could not control the sovereignty of the conversation, he took the initiative to speak: "What do you think when I entered the state school yesterday?"

As he said this, Yao Jing put the soup dumplings that were almost cold into his mouth. But afterwards, He Jin's words suddenly made him so angry that he coughed repeatedly and sprayed the soup dumplings out again.

"Hi... there is almost no normal person in that broken place!" He Jin was quite aggrieved and said with a grievance: "Master, why did you send me to that place to suffer?"

Yao Jing's face suddenly turned dark. While coughing repeatedly, he couldn't help but scold: "Bastard!...that's a place for culture and education in Yizhou. It is a good choice for the teacher to deliberately sharpen your arrogance and to polish your talent and character! Your kindness in his teacher is really a donkey's liver and lungs!"

When He Jin saw it, he quickly brought the hot tea to coax it: "Master, Master, you are drinking tea. It's because the disciples didn't understand your hard work, it's all because of the disciples... But Master, have you ever thought that if you go to that kind of place, the disciples may be fooled, what should I do?"

Yao Jing took a sip of tea, and then he couldn't help but squirt again when he heard this, his face blushed and said, "Bastard! The places where the state schools teach all the classics of saints, and they cultivate all the pillars of the court. How can you let you make such a joke and slander?"

"Even if you are a teacher, you will come out step by step from there. Do you think that the nerds cultivated by the state schools are all erotic and pedantic! "

He Jin stopped talking now, but those puzzled eyes looked up and down at Yao Jing, clearly saying: Could it be, isn't it?...

As soon as he saw this look, Yao Jing was furious again.

But when I thought about the difference between him and He Jin, my face suddenly froze and I found that I had nothing to say...

"Then what do you think you were asked to go to the state for as a teacher?" After a long period of distress, Yao Jing asked back with a little heartache.

"Of course, I am learning how many classics, success, psychology, and black-blooded learning are learned on the Internet? There are also Wang Yangming's study of mind, as well as the deeds and insights of another saint Zeng Guofan... Many of these principles and views are similar to Confucian classics.

And he has read and used these things dialectically, and has also turned them into his own principles and wisdom of conduct.

As for the saying "live until you are old and learn until you are old", you can learn and understand it in your future behavior. After all, you will always be shallow in your knowledge, and you must practice it yourself!

Therefore, in He Jin's view, the only meaning of his entry into the state is to learn to write eight-part writing and use it as a stepping stone to enter the official career.

Unfortunately, the ancient man Yao Jing took Confucian classics as the criterion and the medicine for everything throughout his life. He did not see the essence of things clearly, so he delusionally wanted to use these to brainwash He Jin to become the kind of person in his mind...

Feeling He Jin's cold and hard aura at this moment, Yao Jing knew that he was talking too seriously, so he quickly comforted him: "Rande, I am a teacher for your own good."

"If you don't know your destiny, you can't be a gentleman; if you don't know your etiquette, you can't stand; if you don't know your faith, you can't know people. But if you know your destiny, your ritual, and your faith, you must study the classics to achieve success."

He Jin couldn't help but sigh, and did not argue with Yao Jing, but said calmly: "The disciples have known the master's painstaking efforts."

"But, the master asked his disciples to study the scriptures, but he would not want his disciples to study the scriptures and become the corrupt scholars who searched for chapters and sentences? In the end, the disciples would still go to the career of officialdom. Since that's the case, I would like to ask Master, what should I do if I want to do a good eight-legged essay?"

Yao Jing thought He Jin agreed with his own principles, so he couldn't help but feel satisfied. After frowned and thought about it carefully, he said: "Well, this eight-legged craftsmanship is comparable to swinging a big axe under the bed and building a temple in a snail shell. The most important thing is to consider a person's basic skills."

"First of all, being familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, Zhu Zi's collection of notes is the most basic. Secondly, the basis of the Eight-Legend lies in poetry, verses, so you must understand some Chu Ci, Yuefu, Han, Wei and Six Dynasties literary fu, Tang poetry, Song Ci, and Yuan Qu."

"In addition, a huge reserve of knowledge is also necessary. The various schools of thought must be studied, including Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Law, and Zongheng, and other schools of thought, but also have something to say."

"Well, don't forget the past, and the teacher of the next. You have to read "Records of the Grand Historian", "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Zhenguan Zhengyao" and "Zhenguan Zhengyao" are also well-versed in your heart..."

"The best thing is astronomy, geography, agriculture, water conservancy, medicine, divination, arithmetic, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and everything is dabbled... Now our invasion of the Tartars outside the border is constantly invading, and the war is in ruins, so we must also understand the military and writing strategies..."

He Jin listened blankly, and couldn't help but feel a heavy mountain pressing towards him, showing despair: Master, if you do this, let alone ten years of hard work, you may not be able to do it even if you spend your whole life!
