After Li Jin copied it, he felt that he couldn't think of any useful ideas in this sultry environment, so he put away the things on the desk.

Then put two wooden boards together on the ground, right as a bed, can be used to rest.

He put the brush and ink back into the basket, and put the copied answer sheet beside him.

Li Jin removed his robe and shoes and socks, and then lay sideways on the well-formed wooden board.After thinking about it, he put the answer sheet in the corner farthest from him to avoid him pressing the answer sheet after he fell asleep.

The length and width of this room were not long enough for him to lie straight with his legs, and he could only lie on the diagonal of the square of room number.

But even so, with Li Jin's height, he still can't lie flat, but can only arch his back and bend his legs.

Li Jin had previously learned from Pan Youfeng that the width of the room was about four feet (1.33 meters). Fortunately, the distance between the door and the inner wall was longer, but it was only four and a half feet (1.51 meters).

The wooden boards of their provincial court are all the same size, about four feet long and two feet wide, and the two pieces together are exactly four feet long and wide.

The depth of room number is four and a half feet, which means that after Li Jinzhen lies on his side, his feet are still leaking outside.

He got up again and put on his shoes.After all, the ground is full of soil, and the clothes he brings are limited, so he doesn't plan to change one set so soon.

When he first came in the morning, he didn't have time to deal with the specific data, just thinking about solving the problem quickly.

After all, living in such a small place cannot stretch one's body, and one's energy must be day after day.

If you want to achieve satisfactory results, you have to seize the good opportunity of the first two days.

However, it was the noon of the first day, the temperature was too high, just sitting here quietly, sweat gathered drop by drop.

Some dropped directly from the chin and hit the plain paper on the tabletop.

Li Jin didn't want to answer the question, so he planned to lie down and rest for a while, but now he has no habit of taking a nap.

Therefore, he opened his eyes and looked at the size of this room boredly, only to realize that the size mentioned by Pan Youfeng could not be considered as the thickness of the wallboard.Excluding the thickness of a few inches of wood, this room is even smaller.

But looking at it like this, he actually fell asleep, and the sky was still bright when he woke up again.

Li Jin estimated that he only slept for less than a quarter of an hour. After all, this was during the exam, and his heart was tight and he slept more shallowly. It is difficult to sleep over the hour.

But in just such a short while, Li Jin felt that his mental state was much better.

A short rest can indeed exchange for faster brain operation.

He hurriedly got up, took apart the board, and began to write the draft of the third four books.

At this time, Li Jin could even hear someone complaining about it, "It's so hot!" I couldn't write anymore. After saying nothing, a serious voice came from outside immediately: "Quiet!"

Immediately afterwards, the door of the candidate's room who had just heard the sound was opened. Li Jin didn't know what to do with it.

In the evening, Li Jin typed out the draft of the third four-book essay, and while it was still dark, listed the logic diagram of the debate on the first five verses he chose.

After all, the eight-part essay emphasizes the combination of inheritance and transformation. Among them, the debate that supports the examinee's point of view is very important, and being able to justify it is even more important.

Therefore, when Li Jin writes these questions, he will not directly mention the pen, but list the regulations that support and refute his views before starting to write the article.

When Li Jin enumerated the regulations, the sky was getting darker, and Li Jin relied that he could still see, and was not in a hurry to light a candle.

After all, don’t look at his progress now. He finished two four-book essays in one day, and he drafted the last four-book essay, and also wrote a logical diagram of the five verses.

So he only had to copy four books and write four five verses.

However, one must know that one's energy will be worse than one day. Li Jin does not guarantee that he can write three five verses during the day, so he will not dare to waste candles.

Pan Youfeng said that this candle illuminates at most two hours.He had bad luck in an exam one time before, and he was dispensed with a lower quality candle, which was burnt out before the hour came.

Pan Youfeng said that he hadn't finished answering the questions in that exam, and his heart was ashamed when he returned.

After Li Jin put away the answer sheet and plain paper, the sky was already dark, and the whole room was shrouded in darkness.

He put the boards together again, and asked the guard for a half pot of water.

The charcoal fire at noon hadn't completely turned gray. Li Jin planned to make the best use of it and boil some water to drink.

But the eldest guard completely ignored his "small pot" and gave him a whole pot of water.

Li Jin could only add some charcoal to the boil, and ate with potatoes.

Before going to bed, Li Jin, followed by the guards, solved the matter of reincarnation of grains.When he walked back from the latrine, he felt that he had that smell on his body, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Li Jin thought, fortunately, he had eaten before this, otherwise he would have to do some mental construction before he could eat potatoes.

And the eldest guard was waiting for him just now, his face was unmoved, as if he couldn't smell those smells.

After Li Jin went back, he left most of the remaining pot of water to cool and placed it in the corner of the door. If no insects'stumbled' in the door at night, the water can still be drunk tomorrow morning.

His charcoal fire is really running out.

The temperature at night gradually dropped, Li Jin took off two outer robes, one was wrapped around his body first, and the other was covered.

When you sleep, cover your clothes to keep you warmer than wearing them.

However, others obviously enjoyed this cool night.Some candidates not only took off their outer robe, but also untied their coat, opened their belly and went to sleep.

Of course, a strong person would be fine for a night like this. The next day, apart from getting a little blocked in the throat when he got up early, he could answer the questions energetically.

Li Jin slept very restlessly all night. He woke up twice, worried that he would miss the good time to answer the paper in the early morning.

Fortunately, he woke up just after the sky was full.

Li Jin straightened up, stretched his waist, moved his arms, and straightened his legs that had been bent all night.

He stretched for a while, and checked whether there were other small animals in the pot.

After Li Jin fished out a few young spiders, he didn't dislike it, and just smashed the steamed buns and drank the rest of the water.

He only has more than half of the charcoal fire left, and he has to eat at noon, evening, tomorrow morning and noon, so he must save money.

After filling his stomach, Li Jin went to the latrine again.

After returning to the number room, I started my answering process today.

Although the questioning routines of the five verses are not as fragmented as the four verses, it is a test of a person's depth of thinking.

Just like Wan Yun said: "You can write this question by simply complimenting your Majesty, but if you want to really write something useful, you have to think carefully."

If the'two' of the previous four books is the test of the students' mastery of the scriptures, then the five scriptures are the students' suitability to be an official.

After all, even if it is the official'reserve', although the emperor likes to be flattered, it is not rare for others to flatter himself in places where he cannot see it.

Therefore, these reserve officials still have to write excellent and practical five scriptures to have a chance to stand out.

The four five verses chosen by Li Jin are all in different directions, including mathematics, agronomy, water conservancy and shipbuilding.

Among them, mathematics is closely related to the other three, water conservancy and shipbuilding are closely related, and agriculture is also related to water conservancy.

After finishing the first three articles, Li Jin also aims at the final one to merge the views of the first three articles to a concrete sublimation.

This was not taught by others, but Li Jin figured it out.

He felt that the examiner's idea of ​​putting five scriptures out of 20 questions must be to let students confirm their future direction and choose the corresponding related questions.

Instead of asking candidates to pick four similar ones because they are good at a certain aspect, they start to debate one by one.

Of course, if you are confident enough in your sophistry, you can do so.

Wan Yun said that when he was young, he took the examination of the township examination and selected four similar topics for the five scriptures that he obtained the title of Jie Yuan.

It’s good to talk about this point in the first question, and then immediately revert to the original form in the second question. It is not good to change it. The third question puts forward a solution to the disadvantages of the first question. The fourth question analyzes 13 Benefits after combining.

Wan Yun's evaluation of himself at the time is: "I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is great. If it weren't for the examiner's high hands, I might not have won the provincial examination."

It was too risky to do so.

Li Jin chose a more modest way to solve the problem, but because of his wide range of knowledge, he was able to write what others could not notice.

It is similar to Wan Yun's sophistry back then.

Because Li Jin wanted to make the answers to the four questions correlate, this thought took a long time.

It was dark after Li Jinkan finished writing two five verses. This was still when he had no rest at noon.

At this time, Li Jin didn't feel sorry for the candle anymore. He lit the candle directly, and took advantage of the clear thoughts in his brain, and used the remaining two hours to write the remaining two first drafts of the five verses.

In this way, tomorrow he will only need to polish the first draft, and then do the transcription.

After Li Jin finished writing the last word, the candle in front of him was only left with a circle of bases that were piled up after the wax oil melted.

He packed up the answer sheet, blew out the candles, went to the latrine and came back. The wax oil had solidified, and Li Jin broke it off the table and put it aside.

Li Jin thought that when he was on the way to the latrine, he saw a lot of people with candles on in the room. These people must have burnt the candles until they were completely invisible.

It was also very desperate.

Then Li Jin began to sleep.

However, a "neighbor" in the room around him snored very loudly. Li Jin thought he was going to lose sleep for a while. As a result, he fell asleep shortly after lying on the wooden board because he was too tired.

On the third day of the first game, Li Jin still woke up very early. After he finished all the touch-ups, the time had passed and it was almost noon.

At this time, only the work of copying was left, and Li Jin's tight nerves slowly eased.

But after all, there are more than two thousand people participating in Qiuwei. Not everyone can go to bed early and get up early. Accidents always come so quickly.

"Ah-how did I sleep till now! I have two more questions!"

"quiet!"

"I shouldn't have stayed up so late yesterday..."

"quiet!"

It's close to noon now, and it's only about three hours before the room is released at night. If you write two questions, the time is really too tight.

Li Jin now has no time to sympathize with others, he began to carefully copy one of his four books and four five verses.

That night, after leaving the Gongyuan, Li Jin went back to the inn, ate, took a shower, and fell asleep with his head covered.

——He can finally straighten his arms and legs to sleep.
