After drawing a small vertical line for a long time, Zhang Wenhai raised his head and said, "Brother Chu, I calculated it. It's 250 steps, right?"

"Yes. What if Xiao Ming's steps are changed to one thousand and Xiao Gang's steps are changed to six hundred?" Chu Ci continued to ask.

Zhang Wenhai was stunned and immediately wanted to lift the strokes upright. Chu Ci continued, "If it is ten thousand or six thousand, what should I do?"

"You have to find the right trick to learn mathematics, for example, the question I just did is like this. From the question, Xiao Ming is forty steps faster than Xiao Gang, and after Xiao Gang takes one hundred steps first, Xiao Ming needs two things to catch up with him

Another half, multiplying Xiao Ming's steps by time, you can get the number of steps to 250 steps." Chu Ci tried to explain to him in a simple way.

Zhang Wenhai suddenly realized: "In this way, that one thousand steps are 2,500 steps, and ten thousand steps are 25,000 steps! In other words, as long as I get the method, no matter how he changes the numbers, I will

Can explain it with his method!”

"I'm very smart. I'll ask a few more questions. Don't use the previous method. It's best to think more when solving the problem before starting." Chu Ci felt that Zhang Wenhai was actually quite smart, but his learning method was rigid and not suitable for him.

.

In the next few days, Zhang Wenhai fought with Suan Xue. Chu Ci led him to meet the old farmer who placed the hens and rabbits in a cage, and met the casual workers who evenly divided the bridge construction project, and met the fields.

While drawing water, they irrigated the crops and others who went down the fields, but these people had no objection and were all called Xiao Ming.

Zhang Wenhai was puzzled and said to Chu Ci: "This Xiao Ming must be a knowledgeable and talented man, and he is fond of mathematics. He has created so many problems with his own strength, which is really admirable!"

Chu Ci laughed: "Maybe, he can be regarded as a strange person." Xiao Ming, a student of Wannian, at least no one in the country knew him.

After practicing for so many days, when Zhang Wenhai took out the nine-chapter questions of the county test in previous years, he found that he was no longer in a state of being half-knowing, nor would he use those time-consuming, labor-intensive and easy-to-make mistakes. He has it

Dharma, one method naturally solves ten thousand problems.

In the past few days, Chu Ci has been constantly placing questions. In his vision, he basically included these possible tests by posting two hundred questions. There are also some inappropriate and too simple ones, so naturally he doesn't need to be published.

On top.

There are many ways to ask questions about the ink meaning problem, and the types of questions will naturally be better. It is almost the same if you come up with a hundred questions.

What I need for math questions is the type of question. I have read all the county test papers in recent years and found that the general types of questions they have produced are similar to what he knows. So it would be enough to give one question and add three exercises to each question.

The most important thing at the moment is the same as poetry and essays. Chu Ci only had some clues. After trying to find a few questions, he felt that it was not very good, so he did not force it.

It is November 28th now, and he is planning to go to the county town tomorrow, and first ask the county school master for advice and then reorganize his thoughts.

Zhang Wenhai heard that Chu Ci was going to the county to prepare for the New Year test, and immediately said, "Brother Chu, let me go with you. I haven't seen my classmates and friends in the county for a long time. This time I went there, and I happened to talk about the past with them and compete.

two."

Chu Ci looked at Zhang Wenhai's eyes shining, and knew that he was the second best to reminisce about the past, and the most important thing was to compete one or two. Zhang Wenhai was also half-persuaded to retreat by Qishan Academy. The reason was that Zhang Wenhai himself.

Because he failed the exams many times, he sighed in the academy all day, which greatly affected the learning atmosphere of the academy and brought it a tragic wind and rain. In addition, some students have outstanding academic performance and look down on Zhang Wenhai very much.

He was called a merchant from both inside and outside, and the few people had a few big and small conflicts.

This time he studied with Chu Ci for so long and realized that he had made more progress, so he wanted to go back and be proud and regain his face.

Chu Ci naturally had no objection. The county town was not his family, so it was naturally not considered a person who could not follow him. Moreover, Zhang Wenhai also went there. He could get a car on the way, and he could get a residence when he arrived at the county town. The best of both worlds was.

Last time, Manager Lu came back from the county town and gave him fifty taels of silver. Chu Ci's depression caused by being coerced to paint was finally eliminated.

He asked the village chief who was in charge of the town to take the money back and asked his brother to wait and see if there are any villagers or people near the village who want to sell land. If there are, buy a few acres of land first, and you can do it yourself in the spring of next year.

Grow food.

Farmers are uneasy when they don’t have land, and the Chu family’s temperament is not suitable for opening a shop. There are a few acres of land at home, and he has a scholar’s ​​reputation and can be exempted from taxes. The food he gets is enough for the family to eat and wear and warm.

...

This time I was riding a carriage, considering that the distance was relatively long and the mule could not carry big things.

Because he was walking on the official road, the ground was much flatter. Chu Ci didn't feel as uncomfortable as last time when he sat up.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It would be great if he could take a bus, otherwise he would not have to take a test from here in the future.

Zhang Wenhai lifted up the curtain to see the scenery outside, but finally put down the curtain in disappointment by the wind. He looked at Chu Ci who was resting with his eyes closed, and suddenly said, "Brother Chu, can you ask me a few more more."

What a problem?"

"Don't have confidence in yourself?" Chu Ci opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Wenhai with a smile.

Zhang Wenhai felt that all the little calculations he had made in his heart were discovered by Chu Ci. Under his wise eyes, he always felt that all his thoughts were invisible.

"I have a little bit...especially poetry and essays, I haven't asked you for advice." Zhang Wenhai seemed a little depressed.

"I have seen the poems you made, with smooth rhymes and meaningful words, but they are actually pretty good." Chu Ci is the truth. He has also taken the course "Appreciation and Creation of Classical Metric Poetry" in modern times, but

Compared with the native ancients, his poems are indeed not well written.

"Since Brother Chu said that, I feel relieved." Zhang Wenhai was indeed relieved. He finally had a better place. As for essays, generally, the contest between their students will not be involved, after all, an article is one

The time spent on essays may be several times that of the former.

Chu Ci's eyes rolled and a bad thought arose in his heart. He said to Zhang Wenhai: "If Brother Zhang is really not sure, I can teach Brother Zhang a magic weapon to win, what about?"

Zhang Wenhai was overjoyed when he heard this: "Good! Please give me advice from Brother Chu, and listen carefully."

"Come here!"

After a while, Zhang Wenhai was stunned. After a long time, he said in admiration: "What Brother Chu has just passed on, I have never heard of it. Brother Chu has great talent!"

Chu Ci waved his hand: "No, I don't have any talent, I'm just picking up people's wisdom."

Zhang Wenhai's favor for Chu Ci has risen to a certain level again. He is so outstanding and so humble. He is really a god!

When he arrived at the gate of the county town, Chu Ci lifted the curtain and looked out, and found that the city wall was much taller than the ones in the town, and the city gate was also wider, and the number of guards was twice that of the town.

There were two teams outside the city, and everyone lined up to get into the city. The guards usually compared the people entering the city with the pictures on the notice on the wall. Those who did not find any problems were basically let go, and only a few big bearded men were

Stop and accept the question.

It was only when Chu Ci entered the city that there was a picture hanging on the wall in the city gate. It was roughly seen that it was a man in his thirties who was wanted because he committed the crime of robbery.

The big beard on the face and the facial features are almost invisible.

Zhang Wenhai next to him also glanced at him, said "I can't bear to look directly" and left. He learned this word from Chu Ci, saying that it was too hot to look directly. Chu Ci also explained that it was too hot to look directly.

It means that it is like a pepper entering the eyes, making the eyes very uncomfortable.

The painting on the wall is so ugly that it makes people unable to bear to look at it. His ability to use words and sentences seems to have improved again.

Chu Ci also felt that with such paintings, if the ancient household registration system was not managed so strictly, nine out of ten cases would not be solved.

This painting is a bit too abstract.

Because he had been staying in front of the painting for a long time, the guard even glanced at Chu Ci fiercely. After seeing him wearing a scholar's shirt, his face was better.

Chu Ci accused him and then walked towards Zhang Wenhai who was waiting in front. The two got on the carriage again. When they reached a fork in the road, Chu Ci said, "I'll get off here first."

"Brother Chu is going to the county school?" Zhang Wenhai knew that this road was the only way to the county school. The county school was built in Qingshi Lane.

The reason why Bluestone Lane is called this is because the entire road is paved with big bluestone. Over the years, countless students have embarked on this road to study, and countless students have achieved success and fame on this road.

.So this road is also called the student road.

People erected a stone tablet at the end of this road, which said that people who have achieved fame and fortune since the opening of Yuanshan County School. This is similar to the modern honor list.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Wenhai, Chu Ci stood in front of the stone tablet for a long time. He found that from the entire county town, they should be among the weak counties in the imperial examination, which is far less than the places where literary style is prevalent in the Jiangnan area.

In this dynasty, if you go to the imperial examination in Beijing and others ask about your hometown and name and learn that you are the candidate of Jiangnan, they will look up to you. It’s nothing more, just because there are many candidates in Jiangnan and stand out from thousands of people.

It is a different concept from standing out from hundreds of people.

The original owner's name is not on it. Although he is the youngest scholar since the founding of the county, he must be a juren who has achieved the lowest fame here. Chu Ci is confident that in two years, his name will definitely be engraved on it.

"Oh, isn't this the famous scholar Chu? His injury was cured so quickly? I remember when you were lifted out of prison, I watched it in the restaurant next to me. Wasn't it seriously injured?"
