  Chapter 19: Imperial Examination Skills:

  The carpentry skill is a very practical skill in "Hundred Scenes". It can not only make various things to sell for money, but also build large agricultural facilities such as waterwheels.

  After finally finding the place where Gan Carpenter's skill was found, how could Su Ze let it go.

  After breakfast the next day, Su Ze took the little carrot head Lin Liangjun to the dock of the guard station.

  Originally, Lin Xianzong thought that Su Ze was just talking, but he did not expect that he would actually repair tables and chairs together, but he was very impressed by this scholar.

  Looking at Lin Liangjun who was flicking the ink fountain around, Lin Xianzong couldn't help but said: "Put down the ink fountain for me!"

  Lin Liangjun, the devil in the world, finally calmed down for a while, and Lin Xianzong's grandson Lin Chun came over with some wood.

  Lin Xianzong said: "The legs of these tables are no longer usable, but the table tops are still strong. If you want to help, just remove these table legs first." Lin Xianzong's

  movements were very quick, and he could remove the rotten ones with a few hammer blows. Remove the table legs.

  Su Ze also picked up a table, imitated Lin Xianzong's movements, and disassembled the table legs.

  "Have you ever learned the carpenter's trade?" Lin Xianzong saw that although Su Ze's movements were unfamiliar, he did things in a precise manner and was more agile than several of Lin Xianzong's apprentices who had been working for a few years.

  Su Ze shook his head and said, "I have never learned the carpenter's trade."

  Lin Xianzong believed Su Ze's words when he saw Su Ze's slender, white hands.

  Looking at his rough hands covered with calluses and wounds, Lin Xianzong then looked at his grandson Lin Chun. Maybe studying with Su Ze is also a way?

  After Su Ze removed the four table legs, a prompt popped up on the system.

  [Dismantling table legs, carpenter experience +1, Lv1, 1/100]

  Can you get experience after dismantling four table legs? Su Ze was a little happy. This carpenter skill seemed to be easier to master than the farming skill.

  Seeing that his experience increased so quickly, Su Ze became even more motivated and removed several table legs three times, five times and two times.

  Seeing Su Ze working so quickly, Lin Xianzong thought about his clumsy apprentices. Could it be that scholars learn things so quickly?

  Putting these thoughts away, Lin Xianzong began to select wood of appropriate lengths from the scraps in the shipyard, and then cut them into table legs.

  Lin Xianzong was indeed the master craftsman of Changningwei. The table legs he cut out were perfect, and Su Ze assembled the table very easily.

  [Assembling desk, carpenter experience +1, Lv1, 9/100]

  It seems that this uncle Zong’s carpenter skills are at least Lv10.

  With Su Ze, Lin Liangjun and Lin Chun helping, the tables and chairs were repaired in less than an hour.

  Uncle Zong skillfully built a wooden cart for Su Ze and tied the tables and chairs to the cart. Su Ze looked at the carpenter skill that had been upgraded to 25/100 and decided to come here to brush up on his skills when he had nothing to do. .

  After returning to the School of Health, the little carrot-head Lin Cainiang had already finished cleaning the school.

  Aunt Ninth put the window paper back on, and after Su Ze moved the tables and chairs in, the health school that had been dilapidated a few days ago finally looked like a school.

  Aunt Ninth looked reminiscing. The health school was like this when she was a child. At that time, Changning Wei was one of the best health schools in Fujian.

  Aunt Ninth put away her memories and asked Su Ze: "Disciple has also made arrangements for you. In addition to Liangzi and Cainiang, the grandson Lin Anzai from the ancestral family, Lin Chun, the grandson from the Xianzong family, the seventh uncle My grandson Lin Fu is also studying in the health school with you, how about it?"

  Su Ze nodded. These are all old acquaintances. They are all followers of Lin Liangjun who "run rampant" in the health school. They are also One of the richest households in Changningwei.

  Of course, even if you are not a wealthy family, you cannot afford to send your grandson to a health school. You must know that before Lin Cainiang was accepted as a disciple by the ninth aunt, she would have to work in the family fields. An eight or nine-year-old boy could still follow Lin Liangjun in the school. Wei Suoye's family is in good condition.

  Aunt Ninth took out another big cloth bag, handed it to Su Ze solemnly and said,

  "This is a book used in Wei studies. My grandpa asked me to give it to you."

  Looking at the thick cloth bag, Su Ze quickly took care of it. After taking it over, the system indeed popped up a series of prompts.

  [It was found that the location "School" can learn the skill "Imperial Examination". Do you want to learn it? ]

  [ Found the location "School" where you can learn the skill "Calligraphy". Do you want to learn it?

  【 Found the location "School", where you can learn the skill "Enlightenment". Do you want to learn it?

  Sure enough, only when you get the book can your health education be complete and you can learn skills!
  Su Ze quickly chose yes, and the knowledge of the three skills quickly poured into his mind.

  The most important thing about the school in "Hundred Scenes" is the location. These three skills are all very important skills.

  Of course, there is no need to talk about the "imperial examination". The Lv1 imperial examination skill only allows Su Ze to understand the general content of the imperial examination and the various rules and unspoken rules of the imperial examination. Although it sounds like this knowledge is not important, in this era of limited information, Ordinary people would never have access to this knowledge if it wasn't for someone close to them.

  The skill of "calligraphy" is also a must-have skill for taking the imperial examination. In the Ming Dynasty, taking the imperial examination required using a special font to answer questions, which was "Taige style".

  The first criterion for dismissal in the county school examination is candidates whose handwriting is unfair and whose style is irregular.

  If you don't practice calligraphy well, you won't even be qualified to participate in the first round of the imperial examination.

  The skill of "enlightenment" is a course for teaching young children to be enlightened, which is equivalent to the skill of ancient primary school teaching.

  The core of enlightenment is literacy and rationality. In addition to Chinese education, it also includes moral and etiquette education. If the ancients wanted to participate in the imperial examination, they had to study in enlightenment since childhood.

  In addition to literacy, rhyme enlightenment and learning to read sentences are also the most basic courses.

  Rhythmology is the study of phonology. Simply put, it is the knowledge of rhyme. Although the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty no longer required poetry and poetry, the eight-legged essay also required rhyming.

  Ancient books have no punctuation marks. Another important part of enlightenment is to learn to segment sentences. If you are not good at sentence reading, you will not even be able to understand the book.

  After gaining three skills at once, Su Ze was in a good mood. He quickly opened the cloth bag and looked at the book that Aunt Ninth gave him.

  "The Three-Character Classic" and "The Thousand-Character Classic" are all old traditional elementary school textbooks.

  "Meng Xue Za Zi" is also a classic enlightenment book on character recognition and rhyme. The year when this book was written is unknown. There are also dialect versions in various places. The set of Weixue should be the local Za Zi version published in Jianyang, Fujian.

  "Guangyun" is a thick rhyme book. This book is much more damaged than the other books. Could it be an antique handed down from the Southern Song Dynasty?
  But Su Ze frowned slightly. Phonology is constantly developing and changing, and rhyme books need to be updated frequently. If you take the books from previous dynasties to participate in the imperial examinations of this dynasty, you will be deducted. I think it was bought by Wei Suo. I couldn’t afford new rhyme books and found second-hand antiques, but I could make do with them.

  When he opened the next book, Su Ze's eyes suddenly lit up!
