Chapter 214 The crux of the problem

"I sound very good." Silently smiled, "Why are you asking for money?"

"There is a hidden word here." Chen Jing said angrily: "It's actually a price list."

"How to say it?"

"Fifteen-minded learning means that as long as you want to go to this school, you will get the registration fee for fifteen taels of silver first, otherwise you will not be allowed to negotiate." Chen Jing said: "After paying this, you will pay the tuition fee. Those who pay thirty taels of tuition can only stand and listen to the class, so it is called 'Thirty at the right time'."

Silent smiled and said, "What if I pay for forty taels?"

"You're not confused forty." Chen Jing said seriously: "People who have paid for forty taels of silver can ask questions until you have no questions."

"How do you say that fifty knows destiny?" asked silently.

"After paying fifty taels of silver, you can know the test questions a day in advance."

"Sixty years old?"

"No matter how disobedient a person who can afford the price of 60 taels, the gentleman will not scold him. It is sure to make you hear me."

"I will know the treatment of seventy taels," said silently with tears in his eyes: "As long as you pay seventy taels of silver, you will be happy if you want to sit down or come in class. The sir is not considered your violation, right?"

Chen Jing nodded angrily and said, "Do you think he is crazy about poverty?" Chen Si said seriously, "Then pay thirty taels and bring his own stool to class, so that he can earn 40 taels less."

"Forget it, I'd better pay seventy taels. I can't stand that crime." Chen Jing curled his lips.

"I just grasp the mentality of a rich man like you." Chen Si smiled and said, "It's hard not to get rich." The two of them laughed and scolded for a while, and then they arrived at the Shen Family Terrace Gate. Chen Si noticed that the door had been opened again, and the servants were even hanging lanterns on the door, preparing to welcome the Lantern Festival... It was as if nothing had happened.

But when he entered the study and saw Mr. Yin sitting on a rocking chair, he was shocked. After only ten days of seeing him, the old man was already gray and gray, and he could no longer return to his elegant and romantic middle-aged appearance.

Seeing the silent and astonished expression, Mr. Shen reluctantly smiled and said, "Come on my words, come to sit next to my uncle."

Silently sat down as he said, and said sadly: "Uncle, you... are not easy." Even if you didn't see it with your own eyes, he could still understand the hardships of this master.

Mr. Shen shook his head slowly and said, "For this family, it is worth it to suffer so much grievance and slander." Then he sighed and said quietly, "I have removed your master from the genealogy..."

"Is the situation...is it so serious?" Chen Si said with wide eyes.

"Zhao Wenhua gave a letter to the Beijing Prime Minister, this time he was going to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and even Governor Lu didn't give him the face." As Mr. Shen said, he shed tears: "Your master had already expected that before he left the house, he had already written a divorce letter for your master's wife, cut off the father-son relationship with his three sons... He also opened you out of the wall. He was completely leaving the house and did not plan to come back alive."

Silence was depressed... The prison of the Ministry of Justice must be dark and humid, dirty and difficult to deal with. Even if you don't behead your head, you will have to die if you squat inside for a while.

The two sighed for a while, and Mr. Shen asked again about his plans for the year of silence.

Chen Si said softly: "Go to Hangzhou first, are you planning to do it? It's safe and safe."

"Peace is a blessing." Mr. Shen said deeply: "My words, now our family is walking on thin ice. You have to be careful everywhere and show less." As he said that, he was afraid that his young man would feel wronged, so he comforted him: "Keep the green mountains and don't worry about no firewood. I believe that uncle will come to the day of his life."

This is the difference in their attitudes in life. When encountering such a storm, Chen Si thought of facing difficulties, rushing out of the rain clouds, and flying to Yongqing's high altitude; while Mr. Shen thought of restraining his wings for the time being, hiding in the nest and waiting for the rain to pass by. Chen Si knew that this was the generation gap, so he nodded smartly and shut his mouth.

Mr. Shen asked him to study hard again, so he didn't have to worry about his career being affected... No matter how lenient Master Yan Ge was, he would not ask about the provincial provincial examination situation: "As long as you can win the toad palace and get a chance to get a LLP, your future will be iron-clad." Mr. Shen smiled proudly: "Zhejiang is the country's literary champion. If you can win the fourth consecutive championship, who dares not win you in the imperial examination? Waiting to be drowned by the world's spits!"

Silent but lacking confidence, he whispered and said, "To be honest, I haven't had time to read books for several months. I wanted to review it a few days ago, but I couldn't read it anymore." He also concluded for myself: "This heart is restless and can't calm down."

"You must calm down!" Mr. Shen was even more anxious than him, and patted his silent arm and said, "Don't think that if you win the little Sanyuan, you will be safe and you will never work hard again... You must know that the imperial examination is different from the Tongsheng examination."

As he said that, he explained to him: "The uncle had a student in the same year who started the exam at the age of fourteen and was only 42. After entering Pan, just like this time, it happened to be the year of the provincial examination. He passed the imperial examination and entered the Cilin for one try. He only took more than a year in total. At the Qionglin Banquet, he made a couplet and said, "The county examination is difficult, the government examination is difficult, and the road examination is particularly difficult. He only entered Pan in 42 years. The provincial examination is easy, the teaching examination is easy, the palace examination is easy, and the palace examination is easy, and he has already entered the Ying in 15th. This is by no means an individual phenomenon, so it is not the time to operate. Do you know the real reason?"

Silently shook his head, he heard Mr. Shen say, "Because Tongsheng's test questions and the big questions in the imperial examination, the small questions have to be rumored and far-fetched to guess the meaning of the questions. For those candidates who are not very flexible, it is of course difficult and suffer a lot. It is not surprising that they fail for many years. But starting from the provincial examination, they are all set up with big questions, and the meaning of the big questions is complete and clear, and there is no need to worry about guessing, but they have to understand the meaning of the classics and the old masters of writing. In this way, the longer the study time, the more the effort you put in, the better..."

The silent face finally became solemn and said slowly: "What do you mean is that from the provincial examination, those old seniors with deep skills have shown their excellence?"

"No," Mr. Shen nodded and said, "Although you are a young man, you are not as talented as you, you have not been working hard for a long time. What if you don't work hard?"

Silently, Mr. Shen and Chen Lian were completely different styles. The teacher was like that. You must do this and tell you why after doing it well. However, it is not as good as Mr. Shen’s presenting facts and reasoning, which makes him feel even more convinced.

Seeing that he was finally convinced, Mr. Shen laughed and said, "Of course you are not as rude as yourself. You have achieved great success. If you are in normal times, it would be fine to order a Hanlin."

Silent smiled bitterly and said, "But if I fail the Jieyuan exam now, I may be defeated in the imperial examination and cannot even win a Jinshi, right?"

"Just understand." Mr. Shen nodded and said, "Although you are already the destined Zhejiang inspector and military supervisor, the Yan Party will definitely not take any effort to hack you." As he said, he said, "You were originally a future made of iron and gold, and the Hanlin, who had been destined to be, was extremely dangerous by your master's tossing... It was such a mistake."

Although since he learned about Chen Lian’s news about Chen Lian’s book, Chen Ji almost blamed this stinky old man, in the Ming Dynasty, students could not blame the teacher no matter what, so he had to say good things for Chen Lian, saying, “The teacher has confidence in me” or “or make other arrangements”.

Before leaving, Mr. Shen gave him a heavy bookcase. It is said that all the experiences recorded by the two brothers who have studied the classics for nearly ten years have been "very helpful to him in his profound understanding of the meaning of the classics."

After coming out of the Shen family's terrace gate, Tiezhu asked, "Sir, let's go home?"

"No, go to the prefect's office." When he came back from Jianhu, he had a question that needed someone to answer. Even Xu Wei's heartless person could not explain clearly, so he had to ask Uncle Tang for advice.

When he went there, Tang Shunzhi was writing. When he heard him come in, he said without raising his head: "I know you have any questions to ask me, but I can't help you."

"Why."

"Because I don't know how many big families there are, and they have connections with Japanese pirates." Tang Shunzhi raised his head and said, "I can only tell you that there is no contact at all... not much."

Silent said in surprise: "Not it?"

"Our wealthy families in Zhejiang Province have one thing in common, do you know?" Tang Shunzhi smiled and said: "Almost every family has a textile factory, which produces thousands of pieces of cotton and silk every day. Where are these silk silk satin, silk cloth, scarves and blankets sold?"

Siren's heart was like a storm. He knew that the north had been drought for years and it was difficult for people to eat, and they could not afford so many good and expensive things, so the only way to export was to sell overseas.

Although the sea ban in the Ming Dynasty has been in name only, it is illegal after all, and it is open to lose its head, so it must trade through those smuggling maritime merchants... In this era of defensive defense, maritime merchants basically traveled to sea transportation when they had a business, and when they were idle, they could be regarded as robbers, and they could be regarded as pirates.

Of course, if the government had not turned a blind eye, it would have been impossible to evolve into such a large-scale smuggling by the whole people.
