"Brother Wang, do you still remember the policy topic for the second session of the college examination?"
When Ji Shaohuai waited until get out of class was over, he couldn't wait to turn around and ask Wang Sheng.
Of course Wang Sheng remembers it. Not only does he remember the question, but he also remembers the answer he wrote.
"There is one policy topic, and it is about the rampant Japanese pirates on Ryukyu Island near Changle Mansion."
Wang Sheng looked up at Ji Shaohuai, and immediately realized what he meant, and asked : "Do you think this is the reason why Ding Xun taught today?"
"Yes."
Ji Shaohuai nodded, picked up his things and followed Wang Sheng's footsteps, and continued: " Brother Wang doesn’t know that the famous Riyue Port in Changle Prefecture used to have numerous merchant ships, but now the port is quite empty.”
“Do you suspect that this matter is related to the order from the Central Government?”
Everyone is smart, and they will know the meaning as soon as it is mentioned, but Wang Sheng thought more about it, so he paused, and without waiting for Ji Shaohuai to answer, he continued what he just said.
"Since the academic administration can ask this question in the college examination, it proves that the matter has not been finalized and the court has not issued an order. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the academic administration has, it would not dare to directly raise the question in the college examination. Ask everyone for their opinions. Just about the Japanese invasion, there must be endless disputes between the DPRK and China."
Wang Sheng first denied the previous doubts, and then talked about his speculation: "Since there is a Japanese invasion, from Riyue Harbor. The routes to various places are no longer safe. Merchants build ships and do business in order to make money. Knowing that there is danger here, they secretly weigh the difference between their efforts and their income. If they are looking for a more suitable way, why would they take the risk?"
"Of course, this is just my humble opinion. There may be a better explanation."
"The Japanese are really annoying, so why doesn't the imperial court send people to clear out the Japanese bandits and return the people to them?" A stable life? My Ji family will fully support this matter."
Ji Shaohuai's previously peaceful face was shattered, and when he talked about the Japanese invasion, his blood boiled up, and he wanted to shed his blood immediately.
Wang Sheng thought of his policy answer, which was in line with his current appearance. His policies strongly advocated the use of war to quell chaos, and when money was scarce, he would resort to increasing taxes, revenue, and donations from gentry and wealthy businessmen.
Although this strategy is feasible, if the front is too long, it will easily waste people's money and cause resentment in people's livelihood.
"The Japanese invasion is either big or small."
Wang Sheng stopped, crossed the Guangqiao with Ji Shaohuai, and stood beside Panchi together. Under the shade of a tree.
"In recent years, they have only dared to harass me towards Ryukyu Island. Moreover, the leader advocated attacking small villages on the island, grabbing the money and returning to the sea. Every time Changle Mansion issues an order to suppress bandits, they are waiting for help. We all arrived on Ryukyu Island, but the buildings were already deserted. If it weren’t for the wounds of the villagers and the identification of the survivors, we wouldn’t have known that this happened. ”
Wang Sheng had already seen it in the local chronicle. I have seen Japanese bandits. In the past few years, they had barteredThings, or money in exchange for food, have never been done in this way.
However, in recent years, they have become more and more rampant, committing robberies and massacres.
"No matter how big or small the matter is, it will be in the interest of our country to resolve it as soon as possible. However, this matter is not something we can decide. The reasons our instructor talked about today are that one is the Japanese invasion, and the other is In ourselves."
Seeing that this topic was coming to an end, Wang Sheng signaled Ji Shaohuai to move on.
"But because of our fellow travelers?"
"No."
Wang Sheng was silent for a moment and said lightly: "He cannot represent us. . Although we have received the teachings of Confucius and Sheng, we have successfully obtained the title of scholar, but there is no special subject in the examination to test our character. Therefore, Ding Xun must pay special attention to the virtues of being an official."

The content that Ding Jundao emphasized in the beginning of this course is similar to the ideological and moral courses of later generations. It is not only required to be studied in primary school, junior high school, and high school, but also required to be studied in college, undergraduate, and graduate schools, and all entrance examinations are required.
Just because you have studied it does not mean that this course is not important. There are many knowledgeable and powerful people who are morally corrupt.
"That's it. It's useless to say more. I hope I can get what I want in the provincial examination three years later."
Ji Shaohuai's summary heralded the end of this conversation, which happened to be When they reached the door of the dining hall, the two of them went in together to enjoy their lunch.
Wang Sheng and Ji Shaohuai chose to take archery classes on Shui Yao, so on the afternoon of Shui Yao, they could choose between "fun" and "study". Wang Sheng chose the calligraphy class and still studied at Jude Zhai, while Ji Shaohuai took the music and dance class and studied at Youyi Zhai.
The two said goodbye before the fast and walked into the fast.
Wang Sheng was still sitting in his previous seat, while Ba Zhuoxin moved two places to the right and sat in Ji Shaohuai's seat.
There was still no one on the left side of Wang Sheng, but there were many people in the back row who he had never seen before. They must be people of level C or above, and they still chose calligraphy classes.
The teacher who teaches calligraphy is still Ding Xundao. He did not give a long speech like in the morning. He said directly: "You must be familiar with me, so I won't go into details. Now, please The students picked up the white paper and began to practice calligraphy. After everyone finished writing, they handed it over to me to comment one by one. "
Wang Sheng calmed down and wrote down what he had learned in the morning. After checking that there were no mistakes or omissions, he Leave it to Ding Tuan and wait for his review.
Director Ding took the white paper from Wang Sheng, looked at it carefully, suddenly put the paper down, and asked: "How many years have you been practicing calligraphy?"
"Returning to the teacher, the student has been practicing calligraphy for five years. More than a year."
Wang Sheng counted the time it took him to pass through and gave his reply.
Ding Xundao continued to ask: "Who made the copybook you used to practice calligraphy?"
"The student did notUse copybooks. "
Because his family was not rich, Wang Sheng did not think about buying copybooks and copying and learning. Later, he asked Master Xu, but Master Xu said no, so he just practiced like this.
" in this way. "Ding Xundao took out a piece of paper from the side, wrote the word "quiet" himself, and put it together with Wang Sheng's word next to it.
"The strokes of your calligraphy are even and natural, but there is a Every omission must be corrected with great effort. "
Ding Xundao pointed to the two characters of Jing and said to Wang Sheng: "Put down the pen and write, if it is too full, you will lose money. Therefore, the word "loss" is very important. When writing, it should make people feel the unexpressed meaning, and use the font to arouse people's imagination. "
"Look at these two characters for 'quiet'. They are both in correct shape, but there are some differences. Take them back, observe them carefully, and write them again. ”
“I will obey the Master’s teachings. ”
Wang Sheng took back his piece of paper and compared it carefully with the words written by Ding Xun. It showed heroic appearance, but his handwriting lacked some meaning.
Wang Sheng followed the mistakes he noticed and wrote another one for Ding Tuo.
"Learning calligraphy." Not only today, but every day in the future, you should practice it every day. Leave it to me for the next class. ”
Ding Xun accepted the paper submitted by Wang Sheng and gave Wang Sheng a new task.
