Du Zhongxiao's purpose of studying was very clear, which was to take the imperial examination and take the imperial examination and then become an official. He could not help but laugh and cry when he heard Fan Zhen's question.

After thinking about it, Du Zhongxiao bowed and said seriously: "When the magistrate, the students who study, naturally have to participate in the imperial examinations and serve the court. But they have lived in the countryside since childhood, lacking the teachings of famous teachers and cannot enter the school. Therefore, their writings are a bit rougher."

Fan Zhen smiled and said, "You are not rough in composition, but not in line with the format you have examined by the court. Since the emperor took power, the imperial examination strategies and theories have paid much more attention to the recent times than before, but the first one is still a fu. If the imperial examination is carried out, the fu will be decided. If the fu is not done well, then there will be no hope of becoming the first."

Du Zhongxiao said he was very serious, looking like he was studying hard.

At this time, the imperial examinations are different from those in later generations. Poetry, fu, theory, strategy, postscript, and meaning are not a few generalized performances to look at the scores, but start from the fu and brush downwards. If the fu is not done well, even the other items are full marks, most of them will not have a chance, because the examiner will continue to brush after reading the fu. If the fu is done well, the imperial examinations will be almost rated. As for the last fu, the meaning of the fu is not actually effective. As long as it is not particularly outrageous and is wrong, it will not be included in the scores at all.

After the emperor took power in power, he increased the weight of political papers such as strategy and theories. He only read the strategy and theories after reading the fu, and then decided to stay or leave. The most important thing is still the fu. The method of the imperial examination determines the extreme importance of the first exam.

Seeing Du Zhongxiao's humble attitude, Fan Zhen nodded secretly, took out a booklet from his sleeve and said, "I have a book called "Fugue" here, which is nothing in the capital, but it is difficult to buy it in the prefectures and counties below. Take it back and study it carefully. In the future, the imperial examinations will be helpful."

Du Zhongxiao was overjoyed and hurriedly took it over and thanked him repeatedly.

This is the examination tutoring book of this era, which specifically focuses on many aspects such as the imperial examination, sentence structure, rhyme, etc., combined with model essays. The founding of the Song Dynasty only took the imperial examination as the main form of selecting officials during the reign of Emperor Taizong for a shorter period of time, and the content of the imperial examination was changed over and over again, and everything was unstable. In fact, there were no rules to follow in the preparation of the imperial examination, just read more and look at everyone's understanding. There were very few special tutoring books for the scientific examination content, and many candidates even didn't know what to take when they entered the examination room.

At this time, there were nearly 10,000 candidates in the provincial examinations in Beijing, and there were four or five hundred Jinshi students admitted. There were more than 10% of the total admission rate. Just looking at the Jinshi subjects, the rate was even lower. One out of ten or twenty people, and it seemed that the chance of passing the exam was very slim, but in fact it was not. Among the nearly 10,000 candidates who took the exam, most of them were like Du Xun, who were like Du Xun, who were good at taking the exam. Those who were aware of the exam and were well prepared, had a very high chance of success. This is why the quota was allocated according to the state army, but those who actually passed the exam were mainly distributed in Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture, Fujian Road, Jiangxi Road and other prefectures. The more Jinshi exams were taken, the richer the accumulated experience. Later people were targeted in learning, and the local advantages became greater. In some places where there were few Jinshi, the number of candidates who passed the exam was really a talent chosen by nature.

The reference books of imperial examinations such as "Fugue" and "Shi Ge" have been sorted out since the Tang Dynasty, but they are not widely circulated. Only the most important place like Kaifeng Prefecture can be easily purchased, and it is rare to see local prefectures and counties. With these reference books, it is not difficult to put in hard work, read and memorize more, and write a stable article.

The first taboo in the imperial examination is to not make rhymes, do not use banned characters, and do not have typos, and such is called miscellaneous crimes. As long as the paper is clean, there is no error, and the content meets the requirements, you can issue an explanation from the state. Those who can make beautiful articles in the imperial examination examination are all literary masters at the moment, and Du Zhongxiao has no ambition. What he wants is to use his experience in exam-oriented education in his previous life to work hard to win a Jinshi. This requires memorizing various rules to death and filling in the sentences in accordance with the requirements.

Due to the development of business, the literacy rate in the cities of the Song Dynasty was quite high. However, reading and literacy did not mean that you could participate in the imperial examination. The imperial examination was a special learning path. The Jinshi examination was an understanding of the government affairs and current affairs and classics, as well as the ability to write articles temporarily, while the more important scientific examination was a superhuman memory.

In some areas with a less strong atmosphere in the imperial examination, especially in the countryside, there are actually not many people walking on this road. The Jinshi exam in this era is actually not as difficult as Du Zhongxiao thought in his previous life. It is precisely because of this that Du Zhongxiao dared to firmly embark on this road.

Carefully put away the "Fugue" sent by Fan Zhen, Du Zhongxiao bowed and said, "In the future, students will be puzzled, so please ask the magistrate and the minister to give advice."

Fan Zhen nodded: "If you focus on learning, you should naturally be."

Du Zhongxiao thanked him repeatedly. Fan Zhen was originally from Shu. When he was young, he was met by Xue Kui, the CD prefect at that time. He brought him to the capital and studied in the museum for many years. He was quite famous. It was not until this year that he participated in the imperial examination and everyone regarded him as the top scholar. However, he was arrogant and gave up the top scholar. Such a person was willing to give up the top scholar. He could not ask for any reason.

After talking about the imperial examination, Fan Zhencai asked casually: "I heard from the judge, do you have a way to make wine from the lees?"

"Not bad. I happened to be a young man from a Taoist who couldn't learn this method and could filter out the wine from the lees."

Fan Zhen said: "Since this method is available, how many kilograms of wine can you make every day?"

"When I go back to my husband, the student's home buys wine lees from the 'Yaojiazheng Shop' every day, and can make one or two hundred kilograms."

Hearing this, Fan Zhen suddenly smiled slightly: "You filtered wine from the lees to sell, have you ever paid taxes?"

Du Zhongxiao was stunned, and after a while, he said awkwardly: "I don't hide it from the officials. The government has no rules for making wine in this way, and has never paid taxes specifically."

The Hanjiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajiajia

Fan Zhen said: "Wine is a special thing. If you don't pay the alcohol tax, you will inevitably be chatted about it in the future. A few days ago, the big family in this county said that you were privately brewed. Although it was a false statement, you could never escape tax evasion-"

Du Zhongxiao felt nervous and said hurriedly: "The wine is made from a method that was not before. It is not that he does not want to pay taxes, but that he does not know the laws of the officials. If the magistrate sets the rules, the taxes will be paid on time."

Seeing that Du Zhongxiao looked like he was fake, Fan Zhen nodded happily: "It is best if you can figure out this festival. Remember, you can only block the public after you have finished the taxes in the county and no previous events will happen again. I will set the terms for you to inform you of how to pay the tax."

Du Zhongxiao hurriedly bowed: "Students are waiting. With the terms, try to finish the previous tax together."

Fan Zhen smiled and said, "You don't have to be too careful. I am not an exploring the people. As long as you pay the tax in the future, you won't chase the past. The Wu family, who made things difficult for you, is close to Dr. He in the capital. Dr. He and Su Tongzhi were Jinshi of the same year, so it's hard to refute him. Let's just forget about it. Don't worry, the Wu family will cause trouble for your family. Even if you come to the county for the first time, I will take the initiative to take charge of you."

Du Zhongxiao hurriedly bowed and thanked him. This dynasty was extremely strict in the formation of party members of officials, and the imperial examination teachers and disciples were strictly prohibited, but there was no restriction on the exchanges between the same year. Therefore, in this era, the relationship between the imperial examination was the closest year. Su Shunqin had a cousin of the Wu family, He Zhongli, who pleaded with him, and due to the same year, he had never managed to cure Wu Kejiu. It was precisely because of this that after watching the brewing of wine that day, he did not look for anyone from the Du family again.

What could Du Zhongxiao say? He had to thank Fan Zhen. Fu had distant relatives in the deep mountains. As long as he was a rich and powerful family, no one could find out if he had a powerful and status. The He family actually had a far-reaching relationship with the Wu family, but He Zhongli passed the Jinshi for the first time and walked around here from time to time. Within two years, the relationship quickly became hot.

Seeing Du Zhongxiao's expression, Fan Zhen sighed: "That's true to the world, you don't have to go to your heart. Dr. He, the capital, has made it clear to the Wu family. If he causes trouble in the village, he will not dare to do anything else. In the future, your family will be happy to do business."

Du Zhongxiao agreed, a little unhappy.

Fan Zhen said again: "I'm looking for you today, and I'll know that. In the past, except for the wine lees that are official wine lees, the wine lees in the other two restaurants in the county were thrown away in vain. It's a pity. Since your family has collected wine lees and filtered wine, they will give porridge to poor families, so why not give all the wine lees of the other two families to you and sell them."

Du Zhongxiao heard this and said, "Officials, another 'Qixiangju' is the restaurant of the Wu family--"

"So what about the Wu family? It's always inappropriate to throw away the lees of wine in vain. The county government will come forward to let them deliver the daily lees to your house and count the money. There is only one thing, after you make the wine, don't forget to serve the porridge."

Du Zhongxiao hurriedly bowed: "Don't worry, the student will definitely do this."

After thinking about it, Du Zhongxiao said again: "Officials, in this way, there will be more wine produced. It is only in a few small feet shops, but I am afraid that it will not be sold out. The places selling wine in the city are often divided by two restaurants and official wine services. This matter-"

Fan Zhen thought for a while and said, "It's better to do this. The county allows you to open a restaurant, but you don't allow wine to be brewed, and you only filter wine from the lees to sell it. In this way, the county will manage it and make your business convenient. If you are small and have little profits and cannot open a store, you can temporarily allocate a property in the county government and pay the rent until the end of the year. You have to buy a wine set yourself."
