After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land
Chapter 410 Communication
Ping'an's little friend is none other than the village head's grandson Ye Jin. Although they are uncle and nephew, there is not much difference in age between them, and they have been playing together since childhood.
Now that Ping An has a companion, he is not so bored anymore and he watches the show more seriously every day.
Ping An took it seriously and figured out some tricks.
When they were studying in private schools, they studied book by book, not knowing how much they had not yet learned, nor how much they had learned.
When editing the book this time, Ye Qing's advice to them was to make an outline and write along a logical line.
Ping'an now had a general idea of what he needed to learn before taking the exam to become a scholar, and he could also see where he was lacking.
Zhou watched the two children working with them until very late, and asked Boss Ye to bring them a lot of charcoal and lamp oil.
Ye Qing also asked Nanny Wang to bring them cakes and add some extra food to their meals.
The headman's family was also very supportive. After Ye Jin went with him for a few days, his attitude towards studying changed. He no longer disappeared after finishing his homework like before.
Of course, they were obsessed with editing books, but they didn't stay at home completely.
The three people took turns to go, one person a day, and when they met scholars, they would communicate with them.
Soon their first book was completed, which was about their examination experience.
They didn't publish it, but took it to a private school first and distributed it to the children who were preparing for the exams this year.
The three of them came to the private school together and answered the children's questions.
First give these children time to read the booklet, and then answer the questions on the spot after they finish reading.
These children read very seriously. Since they had read to this point, they all had ambitions to take the imperial examinations.
The three of them were very patient and waited for the children to finish watching.
Soon, some children found something they didn't understand and raised their hands to ask questions.
"Fifth brother, what's the meaning of the stinky number?"
Ye Chenjing looked at the child who asked the question, who was also a peer of the Ye family and a studious child.
"The stinky room is next to the toilet. It's okay on the first day, but the smell becomes worse in the next few days. If you have a stomachache, you will hear both the sound and the smell."
The child who asked the question turned pale, and now he feels nauseous whenever he thinks of that scene.
Some of the children had already started to dry heave, and Ye Chenjing himself was also feeling unwell.
Another child also raised a question, "What if I get the share?"
Of course Ye Chenjing couldn't tell him that those who were assigned to the bad-numbered students rarely passed the exam.
"One of my classmates at Bailu Academy encountered this very thing, so I wrote to him to ask about his experience."
Ye Chenjing paused and continued, "It's not scary to encounter a bad number, you just need to have a good attitude. It's best to do more on the first day so that you can have more time later. You can also prepare some cloth and wrap it around your nose."
Ye Chenjing didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, mainly because it was a bit disgusting.
The children below didn't ask any further questions. They were trying to figure out what to do if they encountered this situation.
These children are very persevering. One child even practiced reciting outside the toilet.
In the first few days, I vomited every day, but it got much better later.
What’s particularly coincidental is that although this child was not assigned to the stinky number, he was assigned to the one next to the stinky number, which also smells very bad.
The student who was assigned to the bad cell was carried out by the yamen runners before he even finished the first day.
The child had experience. He wrote until midnight on the first day, but on the last day he couldn't write a single word due to the smoke. However, he still managed to become a scholar.
Other people's questions became weird, many of which they had never thought about before.
The three of them wrote down all these questions and added them to the booklet one by one.
"Do my family need to prepare anything? What should they pay attention to?" Wang Lin asked with his hand raised.
Ye Chenjing glanced at Lin Wenxuan and asked him to answer.
They only wrote about what the candidates need to prepare, but did not write about what the family members need to do.
Lin Wenxuan stood up and said, "Family members should treat it normally and not put pressure on the candidates. If you have the conditions to send the candidates to the exam, it is best to send them out early. In previous years, there were people who went late because there were too many people in front and they couldn't squeeze in."
When Wang Lin heard that someone was still late, he was very confused. How could such an important matter go wrong?
"How could you be late on such an important day?" Wang Lin asked.
"Some candidates were too nervous to sleep at first, and by the time they fell asleep, it was already very late, and they might not be able to get up the next day."
Ye Chenyu added, "Some people calculated how long it would take to get from where they live to the examination room a day in advance, so they would leave a little earlier. But on the day of the examination, there were many candidates, many people coming to see them off, and they had to queue up to enter the examination room, so there was not enough time."
Everyone present kept this firmly in mind. Their original plan was to sleep a little longer and go out at about the same time.
"Brother Lin, how long is appropriate to go out early?"
Lin Wenxuan pondered for a moment and replied, "It should be three times the time it takes you to get to the examination room. For example, if you arrive at the examination room in 15 minutes, you should leave home 3 to 45 minutes earlier. If you find that you forgot to bring something when you get to the examination room, you still have time to go back and get it."
The children below silently moved up the time to arrive at the examination room a little bit earlier. They didn't want to miss the exam because of this reason.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the school was a bit depressed, Ye Chenyu shared an interesting incident that happened during their exam.
"When we were taking the exam, several people went to our house and we had to leave two people to keep watch, just in case we overslept."
The children below burst into laughter. They didn't expect that this stupid method could be used.
After a morning of communication, both sides benefited greatly.
The three of them returned to the workshop and quickly sorted out the problems at hand.
They also wrote down the precautions for their family members, striving for perfection.
They first showed the finalized booklet to several teachers in the private school and asked them to help find any mistakes.
Several teachers admired the three people's thoughtful thinking. They also thought that there were things in it that they usually didn't notice.
After several rounds of proofreading, there were no problems with the booklet, and Ye Qing helped them contact a bookstore to print the book.
At that time, paper was expensive and printing was done with movable type. The cost of a book was two hundred wen, and that was even if a lot was printed and a preferential price was given.
The bookstore first helped print a hundred copies, and Ye Chenjing and his colleagues personally drove a ox cart to transport them back.
The three men split into three groups, one went to deliver books to the private school. This was the first book they had written, and they donated one copy to the private school, and gave one copy to each of the teachers.
Ye Qing also kept ten copies and asked the three of them to sign them. When they become famous in the future, these will all be treasures.
The three of them cooperated very well, wrote their names neatly, and left their words with seals.
Ye Chenyu brought sixty copies and placed them in the bookstore at the pier, placing them in the most conspicuous position at the door to ensure that every reader who came in would see the book first.
This trick really works, but it’s also possible that the title of the book is too straightforward, and the big words “Scholar Examination Experience Collection” are hard to miss.
