County schools have two fixed major exams every year, one is the middle school entrance examination in June and the other is the annual exam in December.

The June exam is indeed the middle school entrance examination for the lower and middle school students, but if you encounter the imperial examination year, it is the graduation examination for the county school.

The county examination is also a pre-examination for the examination. Only after passing the examination can you get the admission ticket for the examination, and a recommendation for the imperial examination issued by the county school.

Although the students in the past two years had graduated from the county school, they did not all leave school. Some students attended the master's secret lesson as the chief professor.

This is why the chief professor wants to accept disciples. The imperial examination is only held once every three years. Many important contents must be taught to students during the imperial examination year, so some outstanding students should be given a reason to stay in school to listen to the lectures.

The county examination is held every year on June 15th, with a total of three days of examinations, a day of poetry and silence, a day of argumentative topics, and a day of countermeasures.

All county students must be sacrificed to take part, and students who have not taken the exam in previous years can also take the exam as a make-up exam.

Before dawn, the bell of the Wuhun Building rang.

Nearly two hundred students from previous years and students from previous years entered the Ministry of Education.

The first day of the exam was an argumentative essay, which required no less than one thousand words, and the time was four and a half hours, that is, nine hours, starting from six in the morning and ending at three in the afternoon.

Two hundred people sat in five classes, Fanning sat in the second examination room, his test number was No. 15.

Of course, the county exam is not as strict as the answer. It is just that it is not allowed to bring books, bring your own stationery, and you don’t need to search. There are two professors in one examination room for invigilating the exam room, one in front and the other behind.

‘Dang!’ The bell rang and the exam began.

A teaching assistant held a sign and walked into the examination room. The sign was today's argumentative essay test question: "The merit must be twice as good."

The title comes from "Mencius? Gongsun Chou Shang": "A man who has been in his old age will have twice the result."

To do this question, you must understand the content of the entire article, then explain it, name your own opinions, and find several arguments to support it.

The questions are indeed not difficult. As long as you can understand the meaning of the questions, you can basically pass the exam.

At this time, calligraphy becomes the key to whether it can be passed. If calligraphy is too bad, it will be rejected and eliminated in the first place.

Fanning's calligraphy is no longer the same as Wu Xia Amon two years ago. After two years of hard practice, his calligraphy has reached several steps, and even Zhao Xiuwen praised it.

Fan Ning is particularly good at running regular script. When he writes one piece of writing, it looks like flowing clouds and water, and it is very beautiful. Even Zhu Pei's running regular script was slightly inferior to him.

Fan Ning wrote the title on a manuscript paper, "The merit must be twice as good as it can be."

Of course he is very familiar with this question. The whole article is about Mencius's disciple Gongsun Chou asking Mencius if he needed to establish achievements if he was in charge of the political affairs of Qi.

Mencius believed that Qi State had a strong national strength. If it was governed by kingly ways and benevolent politics, as long as the favors it had to be exerted to the people were as much as half as the ancients, the achievements it had made could be much greater than those of the ancients.

The idiom that results twice as much as possible comes from here.

This question has a lot of room for development. It can be used in learning, or it can also be written about national economy and people's livelihood, such as the development of productivity.

Fanning decided to start with agricultural work.

The emergence of various agricultural monographs such as agricultural books and silkworm books, the refinement of various agricultural tools, the refinement of manure use, and the promotion of various agricultural technologies have greatly increased grain income. In the Jiangnan region, one mu of land can even harvest as much as five or six stones.

Because of this, the same iron farm tools appeared in the Tang and Song dynasties, but the role played by the Song dynasty was much greater than that of the Tang dynasty. This is what it means, "A man who has been half an ancient story, will have twice the result."

...........

The three days of the county exam passed in a flash.

The end of the county examination means that the two and a half years of county career of the students who have been sacrificing their students. Of course, students can apply for an extension of their residence for half a year and do not officially leave school until the end of the year.

Three days later, the day when the county exam is released. The county exam only announces the pass list and does not rank. For most students, they are not very nervous. After all, the pass rate of more than 95% has made most students feel at ease.

However, for students with poor grades, today's list is a life-and-death list. If they fail even the county exam, it means they don't even have the qualifications to be a scholar.

Early in the morning, Akihito and Mingli wandered under the sign in front of Qinxue Building. They kept visiting the building, waiting for the list to be delivered.

There are dozens of students behind them, most of whom are middle and lower, or those who failed the exam before, are anxious and anxious, waiting as much as Akihito and Mingli.

Every student knows it well that they may not be able to pass the exam, but at least they are qualified to take the exam and get the title of scholar, which is also an explanation for their parents.

"It's out!"

Someone shouted, and saw several assistants coming out of the Qinxue Building with a roll of red paper.

Everyone went a long way, and the three assistants smiled, brushed a layer of paste on the signboard, and pasted five lists.

Each academy has one list, and another list is the make-up exam for students who failed the exam in previous years.

Mingren and Mingli rushed up and looked for their names on the first list. This is the list of Luming Academy. The first name is Fan Ning, then Su Liang and Duan Yu. They also saw Li Dashou.

"Fan Mingren, Fan Mingli!"

The two saw their names at the same time, cheered with excitement, and slapped hard.

Their names are in the middle, which means that they are doing well in the exam.

Fan Ning and Su Liang and Duan Yu happened to come, but they saw Mingren and Mingli jumping out happily like two big horse monkeys, shouting loudly: "We have passed the exam! We have passed the exam!"

Black lines appeared on the foreheads of the three of them.

"Fan Ning, no! They actually passed the exam?" Su Liang was very surprised.

Fan Ning also found it incredible. Mingren and Mingli were nicknamed the "cornerstone of Luming Academy". If these two people passed the exam, it would only prove that one thing was that the county school would be free.

"It is impossible for county schools to let go of water!"

Duan Yu said calmly: "Teacher Zhang said it very clearly before, and this county examination meeting is strictly required."

"You'll know when you go and take a look!" Su Liang ran to the list.

At this time, Mingren and Mingli saw Fan Ning and hurriedly ran over. Mingren said proudly: "Aning, we have passed the exam!"

"You're lucky! You won't be in the last two?"

The two looked at each other, with a look of embarrassment in their eyes. Mingli stuttered: "This time, we performed really well, and we are all at the lower level in the middle."

"Is that so? Both of them performed well?"

Fanning heard the loophole in his words, and both of them were ranked in the middle.

It is because he knows these two guys very well. The calligraphy of these two guys is not good, and they can actually rank in the middle and lower, which means that they performed well in an extraordinary way. Is this possible?

At this time, Su Liang ran over and whispered to Fan Ning: "There are four people in Luming Academy who are not on the list."

Fan Ning nodded and said to Su Liang and Duan Yu: "You guys go first! I'll talk to these two guys."

Su Liang and Duan Yu left, and Fan Ning then said to Mingren and Mingli: "Come with me!"

He brought the two brothers to a remote place, and Fan Ning asked coldly: "Tell me! How did you get the question?"

With their usual performance, it is a blessing that they did not fail the exam. They are still ranked in the middle. There is only one possibility. They have already obtained the county exam questions in advance and then spent money to find someone to help them do articles.

Apart from that, Fanning really couldn't think of any other reason?

"Anning, don't talk nonsense! Where can we get the question?" Mingren muttered in a low voice. He was obviously a little lacking in confidence when he said this.

"That's nothing to do with me. Go and explain the reason to the teacher."

Fanning turned around and left. The brother hurriedly grabbed Fanning. Mingli scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "The main reason is that Teacher Zhang's window has not been repaired. We went to find a place to enjoy the cool air. We accidentally flipped into Teacher's study and accidentally found a handwritten test question in his drawer. We were curious to write it down, and then..."

"Then I spent money to ask a great scholar, right?" Fan Ning coldly added the following words for them.

Mingren laughed, "That's probably what it means! Ask Daru for advice, what if you have never met before, how can you do not express it?"

Fanning beat them hard with a folding fan, "You two idiots, since you have done it, you must at least do it a little hidden. The last few places can be explained, but one of them is a medium level. This is not the same as telling others that you know the test questions in advance?"

The two of them had a bitter face, and Mingli said for a while: "Anning, give me an idea!"

Fan Ning walked a few steps behind his hands and said to the two: "If Teacher Zhang asked you, you would say that the poem was written by me before, and you would write it down."

The Mojing is the county entrance examination question I once detained. You happened to memorize the countermeasures questions. This time you took the shipping test, you said that this was the last answer question, and you have seen many similar countermeasures questions.

As for the topic of discussion, I said that Zhao Xuezheng had this question in the secret class last year. You asked me for advice. When the teacher asked, he said that, do you understand?"

The two of them were overjoyed and said in unison: "We understand!"

At this moment, Su Liang and Duan Yu waved to Fan Ning in the distance, "Fan Ning, academic officials are looking for us, there is something important."
