After Li Jin copied it, he felt that he couldn't come up with any useful ideas in this sultry environment, so he put away the things on the desktop.
Then put the two planks together on the ground, right as a bed, you can use it to rest.
He put the brush and ink back in the book basket, and put the transcribed answer sheet beside him.
Li Jin removed his outer robe, shoes and socks, and then lay sideways on the well-balanced wooden board. After thinking for a while, he put the answer sheet in the farthest corner from him to prevent him from pressing the answer sheet when he fell asleep.
The length and width of this room are not enough for him to stretch his legs and lie down, so he can only recline on the diagonal of the square of the room.
But even so, with Li Jin's height, he still couldn't lie flat, and could only bow his back and bend his legs.
Li Jin had previously learned from Pan Youfeng that the width of the numbered room was about four feet (one meter three three), but fortunately the distance between the door and the inner wall was longer, but it was only four and a half feet (one meter five one).
And the boards of their provincial tribute courtyard 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 the numbered room is four and a half feet, which means that after Li Jinzhen lay down on his side, his feet still leaked out.
He got up and put on his shoes again. After all, the ground is full of dirt, and the clothes he brought with him were limited, so he didn't plan to change it so soon.
When he first came in in the early morning, he didn't have time to manage these specific data, and just wanted to solve the problem quickly.
After all, living in such a small place, people can't stretch their bodies, and people's energy must be day by day.
If you want to achieve satisfactory results, you have to seize the moment when you are in good spirits in the first two days.
However, now is the noon of the first day, the temperature is too high, just sitting here quietly, the sweat is gathering drop by drop.
Some fell directly from their chins and hit the plain paper on the table.
Li Jin had no intention of answering the question, so he planned to lie down and rest for a while, but now he has no habit of taking naps, and it is difficult to fall asleep now.
So he opened his eyes, and boredly looked at the size of the room, only to realize that the size that Pan Youfeng had mentioned before could not count as the thickness of the wall panels. After removing a few inches of plank thickness, 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 had only slept for less than a quarter of an hour. After all, this was during the exam, and his heart was tense and he slept more lightly, so it was difficult for him to sleep for hours.
But in such a short time, Li Jin felt that his mental state was much better.
Short breaks can indeed lead to faster brain functioning.
He quickly got up, took apart the wooden board, and began to write the draft of the third and fourth scriptures.
At this time, Li Jin could even hear someone complaining about 'it's so hot' and 'I can't write anymore', and only after saying a few words, a serious voice from the inspection tour immediately came from outside: "Silence!"
Immediately afterwards, the door to the room of the examinee who had just heard the sound was opened. Li Jin did not know how to deal with it.
In the evening, Li Jin typed out the draft of the third four scriptures, and before it was dark, he listed the logic diagram of the debate of the first five scriptures he selected.
After all, eight-legged essays are all about succession and transformation. The debate that supports the candidates' views is very important, and it is even more important to be able to justify it.
Therefore, when Li Jin writes these questions, he will not directly mention the pen, but will first list the regulations that support and refute his own views, and then start writing the article.
When Li Jin was enumerating the regulations, the sky was getting darker a little bit, and Li Jin was in no hurry to light candles because he could still see.
After all, don't look at his progress now, he wrote two four-book essays in one day, and he drafted the last four-literary essay, and also wrote a logic diagram of five scriptures.
In this way, all he was left with was to transcribe the four scriptures and write the four chapters and five scriptures.
But you must know that people's energy will really deteriorate day by day. Li Jin does not guarantee that he can write three five sutras in the daytime tomorrow, so that he will not dare to waste candles.
Pan Youfeng said that this candle can light up for two hours at most. He had bad luck in an exam before, and he was handed out even worse candles, which burned out before an hour had passed.
Pan Youfeng said that he didn't answer the questions in that exam, and when he went back, he was heartbroken.
After Li Jin put away the answer sheet and plain paper, it was already dark, and the whole room was shrouded in darkness.
He put the boards together again, and asked the guard to ask for a small half pot of water.
The charcoal fire at noon has not completely burned to gray, Li Jin intends to make the best use of it, and burn some water to drink.
But the elder brother of the guard completely ignored his 'small half pot' and gave him a whole pot of water instead.
Li Jin could only add some charcoal fire, and after it boiled, he ate it with potatoes.
Before going to bed, Li Jin, followed by the guards, solved the reincarnation of the five grains. When he walked back from the toilet, he felt that there was a smell on his body that lingered.
Li Jin thought, fortunately, he had eaten before this, otherwise he would have to do some psychological construction before he could eat potatoes.
And the elder brother of the 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 cooled most of the remaining pot of water and put it in the corner of the door. If no bugs 'stumble' in at night, the water can still be drunk tomorrow morning.
He's really running out of charcoal fires.
As the temperature gradually dropped at night, Li Jin took off two coats, one wrapped around his body and the other covered.
Covering your clothes is much warmer than wearing them when you sleep.
Others, though, apparently enjoyed the cool night. Some candidates not only took off their outer robes, but also unbuttoned their middle clothes, and fell asleep with their stomachs open.
A strong person can sleep like this for one night, of course, and the next day, in addition to having a bit of a congested throat when he wakes up early, he can answer questions in good spirits.
Li Jin slept very unsteadily all night, and woke up twice, all worried that he would sleep until noon and miss the good opportunity to answer in the early morning.
Fortunately, he woke up just as the sun was shining.
Li Jin stood up straight, stretched his waist, moved his arms, and straightened his legs that had been bent all night.
He stretched for a while and also checked the pot for other critters.
After Li Jin fished out a few young spiders, he didn't dislike it, so he just drank the rest of the water with the broken steamed buns.
His charcoal fire only had more than half the amount left, and he had to eat at noon, evening, tomorrow morning and noon, and he had to save it.
After filling his stomach, Li Jin went to the toilet again.
After returning to the numbered room, I started my answering process today.
Although the routines of the five scriptures are not as broken as the four scriptures, they test the depth of a person's thinking.
As Wan Yun said: "You can write this question by complimenting His Majesty in two words, but if you want to write something useful, you have to think carefully."
If the 'two' in the title of the previous four books tests the students' mastery of the scriptures, then the five scriptures are the students' judgment on whether they are suitable to be officials.
After all, even if it is a 'reserve' of the government, although the emperor likes to be flattered, he is not uncommon for others to flatter him in places where he can't see it.
Therefore, these reserve officers still have to write excellent practical five scriptures in order to have a chance to stand out.
The four and five scriptures chosen by Li Jin are all in different directions, arithmetic, agriculture, water conservancy and shipbuilding.
Among them, arithmetic is closely related to the other three, water conservancy and shipbuilding are closely related, and agriculture is also related to water conservancy.
Li Jin also wrote the first three articles, and the last article integrates the viewpoints of the first three articles for a specific sublimation.
This was not taught by others, but Li Jin figured out by himself.
He felt that the chief examiner's idea of putting 20 questions out of the five scriptures must be to let the students confirm their future direction and choose the corresponding 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 sophistication ability, you can do this.
Wan Yun said that when he was young, he took the township examination, and the five scriptures to get the title of Jie Yuan were four similar questions.
The first question is good to say this first, the second question immediately returns to the original state, and it is not good to change this point, the third question proposes a method to solve the shortcomings of the first question, and the fourth question analyzes 13 Combined benefits.
Wan Yun's evaluation of himself back then is: "I don't know how high the sky is, if it weren't for the examiner's high hand, I might not have passed the township exam."
It was too risky to do so.
Li Jin chose a more moderate method of solving problems, but because of his extensive knowledge, he was able to write things that others could not notice.
It is similar to Wan Yun's sophistry back then.
Because Li Jin wanted to connect the answers to the four questions, this thought took a long time.
After Li Jin had finished writing two of the Five Sutras, it was getting dark, and this was when he didn't rest at noon.
At this time, Li Jin no longer felt distressed about the candle, and lit it directly. Taking advantage of the clear ideas in his mind, he used the remaining two hours to write the remaining two first drafts of the five scriptures.
In this way, tomorrow he only needs to polish the first draft and then transcribe it.
After Li Jin wrote the last word, the candle in front of him only had a circle of pedestals where the wax oil had melted.
He packed up the answer sheet, blew out the candle, went to the latrine and came back. The wax oil had solidified, so Li Jin broke it off the table and put it aside.
Li Jin thought that on his way to the latrine, he saw many people's rooms with candles lit. These people must have boiled until they were completely invisible before lighting the candles.
Also very hard.
Then Li Jin began to sleep.
However, there was a 'neighbor' in the numbered room around him who was purring loudly. Li Jin thought he was going to lose sleep for a while, but he fell asleep 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 touchups, the time had passed and it was almost noon.
At this time, only the transcription work was left, and Li Jin's tense nerves gradually eased.
But after all, there are more than 2,000 people participating in the autumn festival. Not everyone can go to bed early and get up early, and accidents always come so quickly.
"Ah—how did I sleep so far! I have two more questions!"
"quiet!"
"I shouldn't have stayed up so late yesterday..."
"quiet!"
It's almost noon now, and it's only about three hours before I leave the room at night. If I write two questions, the time is really too tight.
Li Jin has no time to sympathize with others now, and he began to seriously transcribe one of his own four books and four five scriptures.
That night, after leaving the Gongyuan, Li Jin returned to the inn for dinner, took a shower, and slept with his head covered.
—He could finally sleep with his arms and legs outstretched.
