Transmigrating To The Ming Dynastys Imperial Examination - Chapter 272
Cui Xie obviously didnt believe in himself that much, so he turned his face helplessly and replied with Li Mengyang: “My memorial to the CCP wrote three things. One is to persuade the emperor to ask for talents from overseas, and the other is to seek the doctrines of other countries. It is a good variety that is resistant to cold and drought, and is high-yield and easy to plant. Brother Li said the same.”
Li Mengyang said: “The third one is a suggestion for benefiting the country and the people. I can’t doubt it, but I don’t know why an adult wrote to ask for the first two? I set up a country based on Confucianism, and your Majesty followed the scholars of the Hanlin to study the scriptures and justice and cultivate Qi Zhiping. The Tao is already in your mind, so why seek answers from the doctrines of barbarians from abroad. It is even more undesirable to call foreign talents into China. How can those barbarians know that they are true talents, or those who seek fame and reputation?”
He stood up and saluted, and said: “Mengyang really can’t figure it out, I hope you can explain it in detail.”
Wang Jiusi also got up and arched his hands, agreeing: “Brother Xian Ji, I often hear people talk about it in the Shujishi class. I hope you can help me solve my doubts.”
Although Bian Gong didn’t get up so excited, he still stared at Cui Xie, waiting for him to answer.
Choi Xie finally understood. These authors didn’t come to talk to him about art, but came to hit the market. He sighed slightly and raised his eyes to look at the three of them: “Have you heard of the phrase, “One pattern today, another pattern tomorrow, with a lot of accumulated habits, and then there is a link between them”?”
How the three talents reacted is yet to be known. Saint Wang turned his face to the door first, not wanting to face his dark history.
Li Mengyang laughed and said, “This is what Zhu Zi said in “Jin Si Lu”. There is no truth in the scholars of my generation who have not read it.”
The two talented scholars were also aggrieved by being underestimated, and they were silent, making silent protests.
Cui Xie smiled slightly and asked them: “Since I have read it, have you ever done it? Zhu Zi said that knowing and doing are always necessary. Although knowing is the first to go when it comes to succession, but when it comes to severity, knowledge is still less important than behavior. Heavy. I think that he will be able to do sage things in the future because he is not just a person who just talks about truth, but a person who is really willing to search for knowledge and practice the meaning of a saint.”
Wang Shouren’s neck was almost crooked, and he bowed his head and thanked him: “Brother Cui has a good reputation…”
“Not a reputation!” Cui Xie said proudly: “I saw Wang Xian’s brother Gezhu. After I returned to my hometown, I also learned how to plant each item. I learned a little from it and knew how to plant it. It can increase the yield of soybeans.”
The three young talents did not understand what bamboo and soybeans are good for, and frowned and asked: “I am waiting here not to study the material law, but to ask the adults why they should ask the emperor to ask for foreign books and talents… “
Cui Xie replied calmly: “Zhu Ziyun, there are so many principles in the world, but the return is only one, there is no room for two or three. It is the emperor who found other scriptures from foreign countries, stripped off the text, what he said The doctrine of “must also be a doctrine that can be practiced in the world. If it is the same, how is it different from the sage book? If the doctrine is wrong, then my generation is a well-educated scholar who knows the book and can definitely argue it What is wrong, and discard it.”
The three of them listened to his answer in a daze, and thought it seemed reasonable, and felt that what he answered and what they asked did not seem to have the same meaning.
Cui Xie didn’t give these young people a chance to respond, and sighed with a vicissitudes of life: “I have been studying things in the country for five years, and I have created a soybean hybrid theory, but I haven’t understood the deeper root cause. One thing and one thing go down, ten, twenty, fifty years later, I have done everything I can see and know, and the world is so big, and there are things that I have never seen or known. And these things The truth in the book may have been written into the book by those talented people who were born there.
“So if you want to study the laws of nature, you can’t just rely on studying things, but also rely on reading, read all the books of the world, and learn from the books the most difficult principles of the world.”
He smiled unpredictably, and shouted: “Come here, bring the big white board and graphite pen in the backyard, and then go to the kitchen to take out a drawer of soaked bean sprouts. I share this with all the talents today. beans!”
There is really a way for comics, you dont go, creatures have no way to vote! Today, I dont ask these three people to write an article about soybean germination. He wrote Cui Xie backwards!
The three talented scholars didn’t know his intentions, and asked blankly: “What is it? Bean sprouts?” What is so good about bean sprouts?
Wang Shouren knew that he had developed a high-yield soybean, and asked enthusiastically: “Is this the bean sprouts from the kind of soybeans my brother cultivated himself? What is the difference with ordinary bean sprouts?”
There is no difference, but the seeds are bigger and the pods are fuller.
Cui Xie smiled faintly and asked Wang Shouren to help the guests. He went back to the study and took two polished lenses, sharp tweezers and a knife, and brought them back to observe the soybeans.
The cook brought the soaked soybeans that were ready to be used for fried bean sprouts for dinner over a drawer. Cui Xie opened the drawer cloth and picked out the beans according to the degree of germination. They spread them out in front of everyone, and used a knife and tweezers to divide them. Beans that have just given birth to a little pointed radicle are separated by germ, cotyledon, radicle and seed coat.
But he couldn’t remember so many names, so he made a few casually, anyway, no experts came to him.
After handling one, he simply outlines it on the whiteboard with a line, and then cuts another bean sprout with a slightly longer radicle, a peel off seed coat, and a slightly longer cotyledon, and spread it out in contrast with the one just now. Look closely through a magnifying glass.
He dissected them one by one and asked people to observe them one by one. The longest bean sprouts were already an inch long, and thin fibrous roots had grown from underneath. After removing the roots, they could stir fry.
Several talented scholars have come and gone, and they didnt see the truth in it. Wang Shouren took the lead with a wry smile and said: “This is not something that a mortal like me can come up with. Lets tell us about it by Brother Cui Shixiong. You study from here. Is there a way to increase soybean yield?”
Although everyone felt that they were looking at something fresh with a magnifying glass, it seemed that they were all the bean sprouts they were used to eating. After all, they didnt see any laws, so they could only follow Cui Xie to hear what he could say. Come.
Cui Xie took out the hybrid soybean papers and turned to the parts of bean germination rate, rhizome condition, cold and drought tolerance, and told them about the characteristics of different types of soybeans. A certain type of soybean has short and thick bean sprouts and short stems, a certain type of soybean has a developed root system and is resistant to drought, and a certain type of soybean germinates quickly and has a short growth period…
Although the talented people have lived for more than 20 years and have not paid attention to how bean sprouts are produced, and they are really not interesting to see these soy-related things, at least it is better for them to read articles now than to face bean sprouts.
Several people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and put on a posture of reading the article carefully, for fear that Cui Xie would call them “Ge” bean sprouts again.
Editor-in-Chief Cui certainly wouldnt do such a wasteful thing. Seeing that they had read the second-to-last page of the article several times, but didnt dare to turn to the next page, he smiled and said: “Today I should have shared chapters with all the talents. But I just want everyone to look at my work, not the appearance of a gathering of our talents.”
Yes!
At the gathering of talented men, they should write poems, drink and drink, comment on articles, and lecture on scriptures. This is what they are like as talented men!
A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of Li Mengyang and others, and they agreed in unison. Cui Xie put on the air of the host and said: “In that case, I am the proprietor and I will refer to a topic-please use the bean sprouts on this table as the topic, or write the truth about your own merits, or write the current malpractices and common people. Suffering, or just get excited about it, and see who can write the best article.”
Talented scholars slowly write observation notes and reading notes, and he will serve as a judge and give comments to this group of people.
Wang Shouren seemed to see his heart to pick the author with his writing, and chuckled lightly: “Writing an article can’t be separated from good wine, you have to disturb Brother Cui Shixiong and thank the family wine.”
Talented scholars drink alcohol when writing poems and writing articles. The more they drink, the smoother they think.
Cui Xie asked someone to fry the undissected bean sprouts, open a jar of shochu, and serve with hard dishes such as steamed fish, fried chicken, stew, and roasted bacon with garlic moss. Some talented scholars do not know what their psychology is. They are a little poor at the meat, but the chopsticks are sticking into the shredded pork and fried bean sprouts again and again, chewing the bean sprouts crunchy as if with deep hatred.
The wine is a steamed spirit. After drinking a few cups, everyone’s faces are slightly infatuated. At first, some people ask for paper and pen, and write articles while drunk.
One hundred poems about Li Bai Doujiu, Li Mengyang also wrote an article with vigor and vigor after drinking a small pot of soju. The article rewrites the hazards of imperial villages and exorbitant taxes to the people. His words are strong, tragic and generous, and he deserves to be the first of the seven sons.
Wang Jiusi was inspired by soybeans, writing about the prosperous world in his dreams that everyone was full. After waking up, he saw the hardships of the people and the greedy officials, which made people feel cold.
Bian Gong wrote about the benefits of soybeans in the Chinese regulations. He looked forward to a good day when other grains and vegetables could be used to increase production in this way, and the people of the world would have plenty of food and clothing.
Wang Shouren knew that he was studying with the prince, but he didn’t want to be in vain when he should show his talent, so he wrote an article praising Cui Xie for studying Zhuzi’s ambitions and learning things.
This time it was Choi’s turn to be embarrassed.
Alas, being praised by the saint like this, he can at least be a character with postscript in “The Story of Yangming”.
He was secretly excited for a while, put Wang Shouren’s article aside, and seriously commented on the other three. The writing style is Li Mengyang’s good, and the structure is Wang Jiusiqi, but Bian Gong’s is more positive and upright, which is more in line with my Daming’s core view of value.
Ms. Cui weighed on his left and right, and he couldn’t bear to let go of any of them. He brushed the paper and praised: “Good article, pity the people’s heart jumps on the paper. No matter how many people like this are in the DPRK, why worry about the country’s injustice. , The people are not rich.”
He commented on two hundred words each, and then asked the three people passionately: “Are you willing to live up to today’s words and contribute to the prosperity and stability of our country?”
The four of them were full of excitement, and they all said, “When I waited for the imperial court, I just had a heart of retribution. How can I be unwilling! Can Cui teach me?”
For the country to be stable, it is basically food.
Canglin is enough to know etiquette. With high food production, the people will live a rich life, the number of refugees and rebels will decrease, and taxes will be sufficient.
Once the taxes are collected, the court officials can pay full salaries. You dont need to give two shims a month as you do now, and you dont have to give you enough money if you fold the color. Incorrupt officials like Teacher Li and some of his friends, they can eat happily with two white paws and a half of salted fish when they eat. The Cuis family can pick up fat chickens and ducks at random, all because the family has an industry and knows how to manage it.
Not only do civil and military officials pay enough money, the frontier army also has money to feed the soldiers, adequate training, and new equipment. The frontier warfare can also be easier. Unlike the current situation, there are more tartars every year. The tragedy of women who invaded the customs and robbed the children of wealth and silk.
He talked about the benefits of abundant food one by one, and he said that these young officials who have just entered the court and are ambitious to do a big thing are in turmoil.
Li Mengyang couldn’t help asking him: “What can we do according to the adults?”
Cui Xie laughed, and Wang Shouren also showed a “sure enough” expression.
Cui Xie said: “You can concentrate on searching things like me, looking for ways to make the grain yield. Although the farmers in the village have cultivated for many years, but they don’t understand the science, they only know how to grow them, and don’t ask why they should be so. Those who grow up to be productive, dont even know how to improve. The scholars of my generation understand the classics and the principles of tomorrow, so you can carefully study the roots behind them and find a clear path for them…”
No, no, we can’t detect it! We can only think of frying and eating when facing the peas
The faces of the three talented men were all green, and their lips were pursed bitterly. They did not dare to make any noises, for fear that they might mistake him for agreeing.
Cui Xie stared at them for a long time, and saw that they were not willing to take the scientific research route, so he pointed them to another clear path: “Otherwise, the virtuous brothers would be willing to use their own hands to make a brilliant pen to get the breeding that I collected. The good recipes for farming, farming, and breeding are rewritten into plain articles that people like to see?”
This is easy, is this their true colors…
Li Mengyang stood up first and said, “Senior Cui, please give me some advice.”
