Strange World Survival Manual

Late at night, in a government office room.

"Sir Wang, the eighty-four candidates for this provincial examination have been written down. However, there are still three people who have not yet written down. The governor has already asked about when they will be written up." An official walked in. In the room, he asked Wang Qian.

After hearing the official's words, Wang Qian frowned slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Tell the governor that it will take a stick of incense to wait for him."

"Okay, I'll go talk to the governor now." The official bowed his hands and exited the room.

After the official withdrew, Wang Qian turned to look at the others and said, "What do you think of the top three? Tell me."

Upon hearing what Wang Qian said, the audience immediately fell into silence, with hesitation on their faces.

But the silence didn't last long before it was broken.

An official stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Wang Qian and said: "Sir Wang, the top three this time are A36, Ding53, and Bing5. Now we only need to rank among these three. Can.

Among them, Jia Thirty-Six has outstanding literary talent, extremely accurate grasp of the meaning of the scriptures, and its policy and argumentation are even more ingenious and have more merits. But he has a weakness, that is, he is sharp and has too many cunning thoughts.

Among the other two, Ding Wusan has great literary talent, and his interpretation of classics and meanings also opened my eyes. However, he is a bit behind the other two in terms of policy and theory. He is a bit young and energetic, and he takes it too much for granted.

As for Bingwu..."

Speaking of Bing Wu, the official hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "This person is very good at interpreting classics and meanings, and his five-character and eight-rhyme poem is even more refreshing. His policy theory is not bad, but his policy theory is about chivalry." I don’t agree with the view that those who use force to chaos and restrain those who use martial virtue to restrain them do not agree with me.

After all, this view is too shocking, and the current warriors in the world have never had such an idea of ​​martial virtue.

So although it sounds wonderful, it is unrealistic and is even worse than Ding Fifty-san.

The lower official believes that A36 is the first, C5 is the second, and D53 is the third. "

Wang Qian nodded slightly, and then said: "In other words, if Bingwu is not flawed in this question, then he should be Jieyuan, right?"

After hearing what he said, the other officials hesitated for a moment, and then nodded one after another.

"Then the flaw lies in your own ideas?" Wang Qian's face gradually became serious, and then he snorted coldly: "Pedantic, do you know that this exam should be fair? You have imposed too many of your own ideas on it, is it? What do you want to do?

I have also read his policy essay. There are causes before and effects afterward. It is clearly written. You are telling me that you are denying this work just because you think it cannot be successful? Yeah? Um?"

As soon as Wang Qian finished speaking, he glanced at everyone coldly.

When other officials saw him, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. This was indeed their problem.

Seeing their reactions, Wang Qian's face softened a little, nodded, and continued: "Whether it can be done or not, it doesn't matter what you say, and it doesn't matter what I say. You will know after you have done this. And based on the answer ideas of this paper As well as the causes and consequences, judging from his literary talent, there is no problem.

That's it, Bingwu is the winner of this provincial examination, A36 is second, Ding53 is third, and the remaining seven are the second winner of this provincial examination. What do you think?"

"Yes." All the officials nodded in agreement.

"Then everyone, just reveal the names and write them down on the roster." Wang Qian waved his hand and said.

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

Then the areas where the three papers were covered were uncovered, revealing the names of Li Si, Zhang Yuan, and Qin An respectively.

After the names were revealed, someone wrote the three names on the list one by one.

"Li Si..." Wang Qian frowned slightly when he saw the first name on the list. He remembered that he had heard his niece say before that the person accompanying her was a scholar named Li Si.

Thinking of this in his mind, he had a strange thought. If this person was really Li Si who came here with his niece, then he was really destined. In the future, I might betroth my niece to him and use this as a bond to support each other in the court.

Although Wang Qian had this idea in his heart, he did not reveal it at all. After all, Li Si was not qualified now and needed to become a Jinshi.

"This is a bit troublesome." Suddenly, a sigh came from the side.

Only the sigh came out, and no one else noticed it, as if they didn't hear it at all.

At this time, the middle-aged Confucian scholar who sighed stood up, turned to the pale man beside him and said, "I need your help this time."

"It's a small matter." The pale-faced man shook his head, then took out the bamboo tube and tapped it lightly.

"Duo!" A crisp sound sounded in the room.

After the sound rang out, the people in the venue immediately froze, motionless, as if time had stopped.

After seeing that the people in the room were motionless, the middle-aged Confucian scholar smiled slightly and cupped his hands towards the pale man.

Then he walked to Li Si's paper, stretched out his hand, and put it in the air.

As he stretched out his hand, the test papers with Li Si's name were turned over one after another, and then the name written on them began to twist and twist, gradually turning into the word Zhu Jian.

Then he walked to the roster again and repeated his old trick, changing the first name to Zhu Jian's name.

"Okay." After doing all this, the middle-aged Confucian scholar turned back and nodded to the pale man.

Seeing him nodding, the pale-faced man also nodded, and then struck twice on the gong. .

"Dong...dong..."

When the first knock was struck, everyone in the room had confused looks in their eyes, as if they were half asleep.

When the second knock was struck, the confusion in the eyes of the people present disappeared, and they immediately woke up.

After waking up, everyone went about their business as if nothing had happened just now.

"Zhu Jian..." Wang Qian looked down at the name on the roster, frowned slightly, then thought for a while, and whispered: "What a literary talent."

He had some doubts in his heart, always feeling that something was wrong, as if he had forgotten something, which made him feel a little awkward.

And I seem to have heard the sound of the watch just now. You must know that the watch has just been finished here.

"This man does have some wisdom." The pale-faced man on the side said calmly.

Hearing his words, the middle-aged Confucian scholar nodded and said: "The City God has paid attention to him. If nothing unexpected happens, this man will also become a City God."

"Yes." The pale man looked surprised and then nodded.

"Let's go. Now that the provincial examination is over, it's time for me to report to the City God." The middle-aged Confucian scholar said.

Then the two of them walked directly through the wall and disappeared.

Everyone in the room was still busy, and they had no idea that two people had appeared here.
