My life skills in Daming Liver

What excited Su Ze was that this thick stack of books was "The Encyclopedia of Four Books and Five Classics".

This "Four Books and Five Classics Encyclopedia" is a set of imperial examination textbooks compiled by Hu Guang, a minister during the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, under the order of Emperor Yongle.

That is to say, this set of books is the syllabus of the imperial examination, and the range of questions for the imperial examination is contained in such a set of books.

However, this set of books is not a few thin volumes, but a thick stack, because this encyclopedia not only includes the Four Books and Five Classics, but also contains the "biography" written by later generations of Confucianism to explain the books and scriptures. and "Note".

In the Ming Dynasty, Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism were regarded as orthodox, so the imperial examinations also used the biographies and annotations made by Zhu Xi.

Therefore, this set of books actually includes the Four Books ("University", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius"), the Five Classics ("The Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Zhouyi", "Spring and Autumn"), and Zhu Xi's annotations for the Four Books Zhu Xi's "Zhu Zi Ji Zhu", Zhu Xi's "Zhu Zi Ji Zhuan" for "Shang Shu", "Book of Songs" and "Book of Changes".

Because Zhu Xi did not make commentaries for "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites", these two books use ancient commentaries.

This set of "Four Books and Five Classics Encyclopedia" has twelve sets, a total of 120 volumes, but Su Ze looked through it, and Wei Xue's set is missing a lot.

Both the "Four Books" and "Ji Zhuan" are complete sets, but only the "Book of Changes" and "Ji Zhuan of the Book of Changes" remain in the Five Classics.

Su Ze recalled his knowledge of Ming history, the missing part may not be lost, but that this set of books only has the Book of Changes.

The imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty is different from the previous ones, and does not require mastering the Five Classics.

"Four Books" is a compulsory subject that all candidates must study, and "Five Classics" is an elective course. Candidates only need to choose one of the classics, instead of multiple electives like the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty.

In other words, the Five Classics are equal to five elective subjects for the college entrance examination, and you only need to choose one to take the college entrance examination.

Since one of the five subjects is chosen, there are naturally popular and unpopular subjects.

Because Zhu Xi made annotations for "Book of Changes", "Shangshu" and "Book of Songs", it means that these three exams have official teaching supplementary books, so the number of people who study these three classics is the largest.

However, the two scriptures "Book of Rites" and "Spring and Autumn Annals" have the largest number of words among the five classics, and they are the most difficult to memorize.

Moreover, Zhu Xi did not make a biography of these two classics, so candidates have to eliminate the part that contradicts the ideology of Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism in the ancient commentaries when studying. The difficulty of learning is not ordinary, so few scholars choose these two classics. Sutra as the scriptures.

Apparently, Changning Wei’s set of "Four Books and Five Classics" was purchased by the former Mengxue teacher. Maybe this Mengxue teacher had studied the "Book of Changes" himself, so he did not ask Weisuo to purchase other scriptures and annotations.

But this is enough to surprise, this set of "Four Books and Five Classics" is an official printed textbook, that is to say, it can only be printed and published by official organizations, and the price of the complete set is more than a hundred taels of silver!

Even if half of this complete set is incomplete, it is still worth tens of taels of silver! This is equivalent to Su Ze's ten-year income from farming in Changningwei without eating or drinking!

From the price of this set of textbooks, it can be seen that the imperial examination threshold in the Ming Dynasty was so high that some gentry children from good families could not own such a set of textbooks, and could only learn by copying them by themselves.

Changningwei really had a richer ancestor!

Touching the official printed paper, this set of books is still intact after decades, which shows the love and care of the owners of the past generations.

For Su Ze, this is a huge profit.

Learning these scriptures is an important way to improve the skills of the "imperial examination". As long as you study hard, you can improve the level of the "imperial examination".

And the price I paid was just opening my door with five little radish heads.

Changningwei is really his own blessed land!

Ninth Auntie looked at Su Ze and saw him caressing the book lovingly, she really confirmed that Su Ze was a serious scholar.

Ninth Aunt was once again thankful for taking in Su Ze. The Changning Guard, whose talent was declining day by day, needed a talent like Su Ze.

But after getting in touch with her during this period, Aunt Jiu also knew that Su Ze was not an ordinary person.

Whether it is doing farm work or learning the crafts of the family temple, Su Ze's learning speed far exceeds that of ordinary people in Changningwei.

Also in the morning class every day, Su Ze has already memorized the ceremonies of "Anzhai", "Moving the Grave", and "Xiangchuan" by heart, but Lin Cainiang still remembers the Anzhai ceremony upside down, and can't even recite the incantations.

And Uncle Lin Qi also said to himself that Su Ze's speed of opening up wasteland was comparable to that of his youth, and his skill at doing farm work was comparable to that of his son who had been teaching him for decades.

Even Lin Xianzong said that Su Ze was very talented in carpentry, much better than his elm-headed apprentices.

Sure enough, this is a learned person! Learn everything faster than others! Do better than others!

Ninth Aunt also felt a sense of loss. A person like Su Ze is definitely not something in the pool, and he will leave Changningwei sooner or later.

These days, an adult man who is in good health and can work quickly is in demand in itself.

Not to mention that Su Ze is still a scholar.

Ninth Aunt had other thoughts. If Su Ze was mentioned as a marriage, wouldn't he be able to stay in Changningwei?

Even if Su Ze gets rich in a few days, he is also Chang Ning Wei's uncle, and he will definitely not let Chang Ning Wei ignore him.

Ninth Aunt's thoughts suddenly opened up. There are many female relatives in Changningwei, but there are not many who are worthy of Su Ze.

A beautiful image flashed in Ninth Aunt's mind, but she shook her head quickly. It's a pity that she can't get married in the past few years. After a few years, Su Ze's children may be able to play soy sauce.

Ninth Auntie sighed again, lamenting that Baihu's death in battle was so sudden, it really hurt that child.

After cleaning the classroom and setting the desks neatly, Su Ze put the little radish heads back and asked them to officially start class tomorrow.

Ninth Auntie also took Lin Cainiang back to make dinner. Su Ze waited until everyone had left Wei Xue before taking out a file bag from a corner.

Opening the file bag, here is the Changningwei genealogy given to him by his seventh uncle before he crossed.

This genealogy was re-edited by the descendants of Changningwei during the Republic of China. Su Ze pasted the cover, and the old grandfather of Changningwei couldn't tell that it was their precious genealogy.

Some time ago, I farmed every day, and when it got dark, the incense candles of the family temple were all dedicated to the third master's wife in the main hall, and Su Ze didn't dare to read the Changningwei genealogy in the main hall.

After studying it intermittently for a few days, the history is still a poor "Lv4, 5/400".

Now in Wei Xue, Su Ze can boldly study this genealogy.

He gently flipped through the genealogy, skipping over the record of the ancestors of Changningwei, and directly turned to the part of the ancestors of the seventh generation.

Looking through the records of the sea thorn dragon's return from the seventh ancestor, Su Ze saw such a record.

"On May 17th, the imperial censor Yan patrolled the guards, and the county clerk Xu Shisheng criticized the Seventh Patriarch, and the censor temporarily dismissed the Seventh Patriarch's military posts from a hundred households. The Weisuo gave five hundred taels of filial silver, and the Seventh Patriarch was restored to his original post. Getting tired."

Su Ze rubbed his chin. What this record means is that the hundred households of Changningwei were taken advantage of by the censor and extorted five hundred taels of silver before the officials of the hundred households were reinstated.

For Changningwei, which was already very poor, this incident was the beginning of further decline.

But what exactly is being extorted money? Could it be that Baihu's identity as a woman was discovered?

Impossible, if this is the case, it is absolutely impossible to just extort five hundred taels of silver and settle the matter. With Su Ze's knowledge of the integrity of the imperial censors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and using his daughter to pretend to be the leader of the army, such a big case is absolutely impossible for the famous censor. I will not let it go, and it will definitely become a major case that sensationalizes the whole country.

Since the secret of the seventh generation's granddaughter's life has not been revealed, what disaster happened to Changningwei?

This, has not yet tested the water, and is saving the draft.

Will add more after it is recommended! Believe me!
