Chapter 931: Teaching

Man Bao took the time to copy the two booklets. The booklets are very small, and there are only questions in it, but no answers. In addition, she has a lot of experience in copying books and is fast, so she just finished copying when she had time.

"You and Liwei, Lijun copied a few volumes and sold them for one tael each in the morning. Policy theory and poems are more expensive, and each volume is two taels of silver."

Zhou Lizhong was very skeptical, "Sister, can such a small booklet be sold for a couple of dollars?"

Zhou Liwei nodded again and again, also expressing doubts, "Could it be too deceitful?"

Man Bao: "...do you know how much I paid for these two booklets?"

The two shook their heads together.

Man Bao said: "Fifteen taels, this one is five taels, this one is ten taels."

Zhou Lizhong and Zhou Liwei: ...Scholars can earn money really well.

Man Baosai said to them: "At least I have read the book for a few years, copy it quickly, remember, check it twice, make sure there are no typos, so as not to mislead your children."

The two agreed, but Zhou Wulang asked, "Where can I sell it? Are those forty or so people who need this booklet now? I don't know where they live."

Man Bao said: "Ask Liu Gui, he must know."

Saturday Lang was puzzled, "Why would he know?"

Zhou Lijun, "Because he went to inquire about it. This is what my aunt often said. If you know your enemy and yourself, you can win a hundred battles. After two days, everyone will be your opponent. Of course, you need to know your opponent."

Zhou Wulang felt something was wrong, "Manbao, isn't it good for us to sell this good thing to our opponent? And it's still cheap, we bought it at a big price."

"No way, this is a second-hand product. It's good if you can make money. Don't worry, I believe in Mr. He Shanbao, and I also believe in Bai Erlang and me. Even if we give the brochure to others, we will not fall behind."

And they saw the two brochures earlier than others. There may only be two of them, but there are five of them, okay?

The old Zhou's family was persuaded by her, so Zhou Lizhong led his younger siblings to copy the booklets, while Wu Wulang and Saturday Lang went to find Liu Gui.

Man Bao turned back to the study, and as soon as he entered the study, he saw Bai Erlang talking happily with Bai Dalang.

As soon as he saw Man Bao coming in, Bai Erlang immediately picked up the textbook on the table to cover his face, and Bai Dalang beside him: ...

"Have you memorized everything you just said?"

Bai Erlang nodded confidently and said, "It's over."

Man Bao pressed down the book in his hand and motioned him to recite it.

Bai Erlang began to recite it. He had recited "The Analects of Confucius" before. Basically, he only needed to read it a few times, or if there was a reminder, he could recall it, so it was not difficult for him to recite.

Man Bao continued to press the book, and asked, "What does the 'Tao' in the 'Tao Qiancheng Country' mean?"

Bai Erlang paused for a moment and then said: "Being a 'guide' means governing?"

Man Bao looked at him, Bai Erlang looked back at her with a guilty conscience, "Isn't it right?"

"That's right, can you be more confident when you say it, don't you even believe it's right?"

Bai Erlang straightened his chest and said loudly: "It means governance."

Man Bao nodded slightly, and continued to ask: "What does the 'time' in 'making the people with time' mean?"

Bai Dalang, who was sitting by the side, was useless in an instant. He looked at it for a while, couldn't help scratching his head, and simply got up and went back to his room, taking out the exam questions he had sorted out earlier.

He copied down the policy theories and poems and prose topics of the major examinations over the years and sent them to Mr. Zhuang, and only then began to ponder the scriptures and Mo Yi.

When Man Bao's explanation came to an end, he said to Bai Erlang: "Let me tell you about the exam questions."

Man Bao nodded, "This can also be studied."

Aunt Rong shouted outside, "It's time to eat!"

Bai Erlang immediately looked out the window.

Man Bao continued: "We will still talk about Mo Yi in the evening, and you will memorize the book the next morning, so that the memory will be deeper. I will see if there is anything you don't remember, and I will circle it for you and copy it into a booklet for you. The day after tomorrow, you can wait and watch while going to the examination room."

Seeing that no one paid attention to her for a long time, Aunt Rong yelled again, "It's time for dinner!"

Bai Erlang looked up again.

Bai Dalang was so heartbroken looking at it, he couldn't help but pat him, "Don't always think about eating, you have an exam in two days, do you know how difficult the four subjects are? Do you know what Taixue is? Academy? That is the highest institution in the country."

"Isn't the highest school in the country Guozixue?"

"Guozixue is not counted. Ninety-nine of the 100 people in it are enlisted. If Guozixue is included, then Hongwenguan is the highest." Bai Dalang also has the arrogance of a literati Yes, he said seriously: "Tai Xue is the highest school, and now you don't need to compete with thousands of people for dozens of places, but forty-seven people for the top 15 places, you know you How lucky is it?"

Bai Erlang nodded blankly.

Bai Dalang said: "So, you have to work hard to know?"

Bai Erlang nodded in a daze, and then asked, "But big brother, I was admitted to the Taixue, am I better than you?"

Bai Dalang was stunned for a moment, feeling overwhelmed looking at this miserable brother.

Man Bao on the side said: "You think too much. If you really are a student in Taixue, you are better than those in Simen? There are also many students who have been favored, such as you, don't you just rely on grace shade?"

Otherwise, given another two years, he might not be able to pass the four subjects.

Bai Dalang glanced at him arrogantly, and nodded in agreement with Man Bao's words.

Bai Erlang was angrily, "So are you going to encourage me, or to discourage me?"

Man Bao and Bai Dalang were silent for a while, and then they all said: "You are still very good, if you work harder, you will definitely be better than the other forty or so people."

"That's right. Everything we eat and drink is vain. Only reading is the most real thing. Let's read first."

Aunt Rong outside had arranged the food, but still no one came out to eat, she pinched her waist and shouted: "It's time to come out to eat, the food is going to be cold!"

Bai Erlang forced himself to lower his head, but he still couldn't help turning his head to look outside.

Man Bao also smelled the smell of meat, she took a deep breath, and looked at Bai Dalang, "Why don't we eat first, and continue after eating?"

Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly.

Bai Dalang put down the book helplessly, "Well, I don't think you have the heart to read any more."

Man Bao ran out of the study room first, seeing that Mr. Zhuang and Bai Shan hadn't come yet, she knew they were still in the garden, so she simply ran to the garden to look for them.

There were two masters and apprentices, one was fascinated by what he was talking about, the other was fascinated by what he was listening to, and he didn't hear Aunt Rong's words at all.

After finally gathering all the people in the yard together, Aunt Rong retreated to the front yard for dinner.

Mr. Zhuang said to the four disciples: "Dalang go back to sleep, you three should light the lamps tonight."

Man Bao led the two juniors to get up and bowed down, while Bai Dalang said, "Sir, I'll stay and help too."

After thinking for a while, Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "Alright, sometimes I need to find some books, and you can find them for me. You can also help me find the reference answers to the previous big exams and poems."

Bai Dalang responded with a smile.
