Back In Time For Imperial Examination Chapter 59

After Magistrate Qi came back, a notice for the county examination on February 13 was posted outside the county government office, asking students to register at the county ritual room.

The 10th to 20th of the first lunar month was the Lantern Festival, and Mr. Lin had originally planned to urge his students to study after the festival. But after seeing the notice, he felt the urgency of the exam, so he asked his son to call Ryan Cui home and explained the key points of the day's policy essay to him step by step.

Policy essays are nothing but current affairs. Whether they are direct statements about current affairs or using history to illustrate the present, they all come down to the word "practical". The major events of the court in the past two years were the little prince's intrusion into the border, the major event in Qian'an was the earthquake, or the grain tax, and they could not escape this scope. These young Confucian scholars did not require them to write any far-sighted policy essays, they just needed to follow the current government orders of the court and add some extensions.

Ryan Cui has also been making blackboard newspapers and propaganda posters for many years, and he understands Mr. Lin's meaning very well - it doesn't matter if the article is not well written, as long as the position is correct, and any thoughts of different colors should be hidden honestly. If he accidentally writes something that goes against the main theme of the court, even if the county magistrate is biased towards him, he will not dare to accept it.

He bowed his head and solemnly assured: "Don't worry, sir, I know what to write and what not to write."
