Zhou Shixiong didn't know what Sun Chuanting was doing. He returned to Zhou's mansion and wrote the doctrine of the mean. Liu Wang asked about his visit to the county government. After he said that, Liu Wang loudly congratulated him, "Ziqi, Lord Sun is a tempted love for talent. I want to accept you as my disciple. Hurry up and prepare for the ceremony of apprenticeship."

One day later, Zhou Shixiong came to the county government again. The new county magistrate had already taken office. Sun Chuanting packed his luggage and waited for him in the back hall. Zhou Shixiong handed over the ten books of the mean. Sun Chuanting finished reading it carefully and nodded with satisfaction, "I heard that you have not officially entered school yet. I wonder if I am a Jinshi, I am qualified to be your teacher?" [bsp;    "Go to my mentor." Zhou Shixiong immediately knelt down on the ground to give a big gift, and then invited Sun Chuanting to Zhouzhuang. Under the witness of the new county magistrate Yang Wenyue, he formally worshiped Sun Chuanting as his teacher.

"I didn't expect that you, a genius, would have been released in the county examination, which would have stirred up the brains of the big men in the capital." Yang Wenyue was originally a minister of the Ministry of War, but now he came to Fucheng as a county magistrate and was considered a high-level magistrate. He and Sun Chuanting were in the same imperial examination, which was the party in the same year. He lived a miserable life in the capital that was rampant for nine thousand years.

Zhou Shixiong secretly looked at the county magistrate. Yang Wenyue was from Sichuan and had a figure that was opposite to Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting was tall and thin, and he was short and strong, with a big beard. Even if he was wearing the uniform of a seventh-rank county magistrate, he gave people the feeling of being a civil servant. He was a serious eight-book 131-year-old three-rank magistrate in the 47th year of Wanli. Speaking of the 47th year of Jinshi, there is another allusion that Sun Chuanting and Yuan Chonghuan were both Jinshi, and Yuan Chonghuan was one ranking higher than Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting has always been very dissatisfied with Yuan Chonghuan, but now Yuan Chonghuan is the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of Liaodong, becoming a senior official in the area, but Sun Chuanting is only a seventh-rank county magistrate. The difference in this ranking is too big.

"Oh, Dou Wang, there are some things that surprised you. Do you know what Ziqi thinks about this?" Sun Chuanting smiled and said what Zhou Shixiong refuted him. Yang Wenyue was stunned in surprise and pointed at Zhou Shixiong, "You are a good boy. I don't dare to talk to Bai Gu like this, you can do it!"

"The county magistrate, it is because of the teacher's magnanimity and elegance that he can tolerate the boy." Now that his status has been determined, Zhou Shixiong began to flatter Sun Chuanting desperately, without any regard for shame.

"Ziqi has a good personality and knows when to collect and when to release it. Baigu, you picked up a good student." Yang Wenyue looked at Sun Chuanting enviously. The complex meaning revealed in his eyes contained five deep affections of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Dou Wang, since you are the county magistrate here, come to Zhouzhuang to sit when you have time. Your favorite military books and war books will be passed on to Ziqi together." Sun Chuanting was indeed a good teacher. As soon as he became a teacher, he immediately helped his disciples find a bargain.

"You can plot. I am a little unworthy of my nameless work." Yang Wenyue was already moved. Of course Zhou Shixiong knew to make fun of it. He immediately knelt down and shouted Hello Uncle Master. Yang Wenyue couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "Your master helps you take advantage of me, and you also help your master take advantage of me, suppressing half of my seniority and becoming his younger brother. He is indeed a good pair of masters and apprentices!"

That night, Yang Wenyue and Sun Chuanting were drunk. Zhou Shixiong left Liu Wangzhou's pillar and Zhou Gong should accompany him. He went back to bed early. The drunkard was very tasteless, so he didn't serve him.

On March 15, 2018, Sun Chuanting officially taught Zhou Shixiong, but in the first class, he encountered trouble. "Can you recite and write these books?" Sun Chuanting pointed to the books in calligraphy and stared at Zhou Shixiong.

"I dare not deceive the teacher, and my disciples can recite and write." Zhou Shixiong's words were also endorsed by Liu Wang. Although Liu Wang was just a scholar, he was still here and had the title of raising Zhou Shixiong. Sun Chuanting was very respectful to him.

"Since that's the case, let's start with the article." The foundation was laid so solid, and Sun Chuanting did not need to start over again. He taught Zhou Shixiong practical lessons according to the standards of the imperial examination. It was impossible to post scriptures to Zhou Shixiong. Zhou Shixiong wrote all the fifteen scriptures, and Sun Chuanting never gave any questions in this aspect again. But prose took Sun Chuanting's life. No matter what questions Sun Chuanting asked, Zhou Shixiong could use his standard explanatory style to write prose that should inspire words to explain his heart's voice into a practical explanatory essay.

"Ziqi, why don't you understand the key points of essays with your knowledge and intelligence?" Sun Chuanting shook his head, really not understanding why he, a genius student, was so unaware of it. In fact, Zhou Shixiong understood why very well, because he had been here for too short, all his knowledge was memorized by rote, and he did not have enough understanding and understanding of the text. He basically didn't think about writing beautiful classical Chinese. Since it was essays, there was no limit on the style of the text, and it was not impossible to write an explanatory essay. If you have room for a while, Zhou Shixiong would not be foolish and not use it.

After several days, Sun Chuanting had no choice in Zhou Shixiong's essays. He happened to Yang Wenyue come to Zhouzhuang and spit out loudly in the same year. Yang Wenyue read Zhou Shixiong's explanatory text and praised his scheming, "Bai Gu, don't treat yourself as an examiner, what do you think about these articles?"

"The text is straightforward and accurate, reasonable and well-founded, and the question is analyzed clearly. How to say it? If it is writing a memorial, I believe the emperor will like it after reading it." Sun Chuanting glanced at Zhou Shixiong sitting beside him, and found a little smile on his face. He immediately started cursing with a dark face, "What are you proud of? If the examiner of the government office is disgusted with the boring words, and there will be another mistake in the policy discussion. The provincial examination will turn into a moon in the water, and you can still smile."

"Bai Gu, since you are worried that there will be problems with his policy, you should practice the policy. For essays, even if the main examiner uses the tasteless comments, the three circles cannot escape, so there is no need to worry." Sun Chuanting knew that Yang Wenyue's words were very pertinent, but his personality was a bit perfect, and it would be difficult to turn back once he got into the horns.

"It's better to watch the bystanders. Since that's the case, Douwang gives a question and see what he can write." Sun Chuanting went with the flow and let Yang Wenyue enjoy the taste of being a teacher.

"Wang Zheng and Wang Liangpu don't know if Baigu has an impression." Yang Wenyue did not answer Sun Chuanting's words, but instead talked about something else. Sun Chuanting thought for a while, "Is it the one Wang Liangpu who likes strange skills and tricks?"

"That's right, it's him. In the first month of the year, Wang Liangpu published a book called "Strange Artifact Catalogue". It not only introduced civilian objects such as balance lever trolleys and jacks, but also illustrated military weapons such as catapults and bows and crossbows. Some people in the court said that he did this to leak secrets and was suspected of investing in the enemy. Ziqi, please use this to write a policy theory for yourself." Yang Wenyue was really open-minded. In ancient times, there was no such thing as writing a title by himself. Zhou Shixiong thought about it and called Zhou to put on paper and ink, and began to write a policy theory.

Zhou Shixiong’s topic is the pros and cons of technology openness and technology confidentiality.

First, write about the benefits of openness and confidentiality, then the disadvantages of each person, and finally, determine what benefits and what harms are from the perspective of the country.

There are many benefits of technological openness, which can quickly improve productivity and accelerate technological progress, and the benefits of confidentiality are also not small. If you have no enemies, you can create an overwhelming technological advantage and take the initiative in war.

There are naturally disadvantages. Open technology is easy to be stolen by enemy countries, which will be beneficial to war in the short term, but will soon be even more stable and reduce technical advantages. There are also disadvantages of confidentiality, that is, the inability to use technological advantages to boost national strength, resulting in the possession of advanced technology, and most of the country's production is still in a low-level technology stage, and the increase in productivity is in a negative state.

Finally, Zhou Shixiong compared the Ministry of Works, which was qualified to learn and use advanced technology, as a country, and the country of Later Jin was compared. The conclusion was that technical confidentiality caused the Ming Dynasty to only use one ten thousandth of its national strength to fight against the Later Jin nation. Whether in terms of production quality and technological upgrading, confidentiality was harmful to the Ming Dynasty, but it was beneficial to the Later Jin or not. If he was the lord of the Later Jin, Zhou Shixiong would reward the Ming officials who advocated technical confidentiality because they were trying their best to assist the Later Jin, and they should be rewarded.

After reading Zhou Shixiong's argument, Yang Wenyue laughed and left. Sun Chuanting said with a wry smile, "Ziqi, why bother to be so mean? I've passed it."

Yang Wenyue returned to the county government and wrote a letter to his teacher Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong was framed by Wei Zhongxian and was demoted to study in the capital. The purpose of Yang Wenyue's letter was not only to feel happy and happy, but also wanted to recommend Zhou Shixiong. If Sun Chengzong was willing to say something to Zhou Shixiong, no one dared to deliberately suppress Zhou Shixiong in any palace trial.

After reading Yang Wenyue's letter, Sun Chengzong picked up a pen to write a letter to Sun Chuanting, blaming him for accepting a good disciple and not reporting to him. Did he forget his teacher? In addition, Sun Chuanting took his famous post to Hejian Prefecture to visit the prefect Zhang Shenyan. Zhang Shenyan was upright in character. Sun Chengzong asked Sun Chuanting to read what Zhou Shixiong wrote, especially the essays, to Zhang Shenyan. There is no need to say too much.

Zhang Shenyan was a tough guy who left the house. Even Sun Chuanting, who had always been so proud, admired this senior. He couldn't figure out why his mentor did this. However, since his mentor told him to come to visit him, he would go even if he didn't understand. So, Sun Chuanting brought Zhou Shixiong to Hejian Mansion ten days before the mansion examination. Zhou Shixiong was no longer a three-person trip. Zhou Zhizhu, the cheap uncle, must come. The strangest thing is that Zhou Gongyi also came with him. Isn't he having to work?

Sun Chuanting took Sun Chengzong's famous post to visit the prefect. Zhang Shenyan invited Sun Chuanting to the second hall for tea. Sun Chuanting said nothing and put Zhou Shixiong's manuscript on the table. Zhang Shenyan didn't ask why, and picked it up and read it one by one. When he saw the sunset, the two of them didn't even eat lunch. Zhang Shenyan was so interested that he forgot to eat, so Sun Chuanting could only bear it.
