There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 280 County Examination, Government Examination, Academy Examination

"That's right, that person looks a little utilitarian, and my elder brother doesn't like it too much." The Wan family is very honest, although they are considered wealthy now, but the Wan family has no confidence to play tricks on others, so they just do what they should do honestly What are you doing, you never compete with others for bravery and ruthlessness.

If it weren't for Wantong, the Wan family wouldn't even have real power now.

The two of them settled their lunch outside, so there is naturally food in the examination room, or you can bring some snacks in to satisfy your hunger.

And what Wu Youwei prepared for Wu Qiong was soft steamed buns, salted duck eggs, and some stewed beef, which was already very good, and the kettle he brought was also filled with boiling water that had been boiled and cooled in the sun.

Wantong had dinner with Wu Youwei, and after waiting for a while, the gate opened, and the examinees came out one after another. Because it was a children's exam, there were many young people, and even Wu Youwei saw many talented people. Teenage junior high school students!

Of course, there are also three or 40-year-olds who come to take the children's exam, and Wu Youwei's eyes are straight.

They quickly picked Wu Qiong out on the first day of junior high school, and the group went back to Wu's residence. Wu Qiong silently wrote out his own examination papers for Wu Youwei to read.

Wu Youwei actually didn't understand at all!

Fortunately, he has the memory of the original owner, otherwise he would really be caught blind.

After commenting, in fact, the test for scholar is very easy, as long as you have solid book knowledge, you can pass the test, but the three tests for scholar are the state of mind, artistic conception, and environment.

To put it bluntly, it is the psychological endurance of the test.

For those who are not mentally able to bear it, one test is fine, but what about the second or third test?

The more you take the test, the more pressure you have, and those who are not able to bear it will fail the test.

But Wu Qiong was different. When Wu Youwei and the others simulated the exam, he was also stuffed in by Wu Youwei. The euphemistic name was: experience it in advance!

Meng Heyu brought his son here, hoping that his son could "experience" the examination room in advance.

However, Wu Youwei suggested that after he went back, he would set up a numbered room in their own college, simulate the examination room, and ask the students to experience it, and even follow the rules of the examination room during the exam. After a few times, they got used to it. After learning the environment of the examination room, after entering the examination room, you will not panic and get used to the sudden change of the environment.

Meng Heyu was overjoyed to see that Wu Youwei didn't care about this method being leaked!

No, I took my son back to Tongzhou the next day, Zhang Luo's childbirth exam, and told my father that the in-laws are not stingy with this wonderful idea, and their own college can simulate everything in the exam room!

But Wu Qiong, who had gone through the mock exams, no longer paid much attention to the small children's exams. He just took the exams seriously, and everything outside, even the passing examiners, adults, etc., had nothing to do with him.

"Not bad, not bad!" Wu Youwei nodded after reading the test paper, "At least I can pass, but I'm not sure about the ranking.

"Can't you get a small three yuan?" Wantong is very confident in Wu Qiong, after all, this child is the one he has grown up with since he was a child!

"What little three yuan? Don't talk nonsense!" When Wu Qiong was young, Wu Youwei implemented encouragement and education, and praised his little nephew "Qiong'er is the best!" when he did something, but now Wu Qiong has grown up. Yes, Wu Youwei changed the encouragement education to the setback education. Every time he read the article written by Wu Qiong, Zhang Sheng said that he had to pick out some faults, so that this grown-up nephew could not " Proud and complacent", Wu Qiong knew her uncle's painstaking efforts, and listened to the training very seriously every time.

At the same time, because Wu Youwei always rubbed him, he really didn't feel any pride.

It can also be regarded as the success of Wu Youwei's alternative education.

"Nephew still needs to be open-minded to ask for advice." Wu Qiong didn't think too much about the little three yuan.

After all, for the first exam, he didn't know how many people were present and how they learned, so he, like Wu Youwei, felt that it was better to be humble and low-key.

Wantong thinks that literati are troublesome. He has seen many times when he was in the army, when he was selecting Jinyiwei. In that scene, as long as anyone with high kung fu and good skills can be selected.

Jin Yiwei is also very particular about the selection of candidates. One is that you must be willing.

The second is to have a clean background. Although joining the Jinyiwei means joining the military, military registration is also divided into places. Of course, you will be unlucky if you join the frontier army, but if you join the Jinyiwei, the whole family will enjoy the blessings.

Three days after the exam, the list was announced, and Wu Qiong was number one!

Wu Youwei kept a straight face and kept silent; Wantong was happy, and patted Wu Qiong on the shoulder: "Boy, you did a good job!"

Wu Qiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Master Wan, it's just a county test."

Didn't you see the little uncle didn't smile? Why is Master Wan so happy?

"Well, it's good. Go back and prepare for the exam." Wu Youwei sent Wu Qiong out, and when Wu Qiong disappeared, he jumped up: "My nephew got the first place in the exam!"

In Wu Youwei's era, if any child got the first place in the exam, the parents would spread it and wish the whole world knew about it.

Wu Youwei was in poor health when he was young, but he studied well!

This is the pride of the parents and the example of the younger brother.

As a result, when the younger brother of the Wu family declined in his studies, his parents would point to his brother's various awards and reflect on whether he had passed the entrance exam to a good university. At that time, the younger brother of the Wu family had already received a full scholarship.

"Well, are you happy?" Wantong said with a smile: "I'm not laughing, I'm still holding back!"

He could see just now that Wu Youwei was happy, but he looked "unhappy" in front of his nephew, who the hell!

"That's to keep him from being self-satisfied." Wu Youwei said, "He's full of youthful spirit now, if you don't suppress him a bit, I'm afraid he's going too far."

In his time, how many people ruined half their lives because of the conflict of youthful spirits?

What's more, it was in ancient times. The harshness of Ming Dynasty was beyond the imagination of modern people. No matter how rich a merchant was, he could not wear silk and satin; no matter how rich a peasant was, he could still wear gold and silver.

The feudal ethics were magnified countless times in the Ming Dynasty, so that the later Qing Dynasty was distorted.

Three days after the county examination was released, it was time for the government examination.

The prefectural examination is conducted in the prefecture that governs the county and is presided over by the magistrate.

Participating in the government examination, registration, and guaranty are similar to the county examination in terms of the number and content of the examination, but there is one more granary student to guarantee the guaranty.

After passing the government test, you can take the hospital test.

Scholars who have been admitted to the county examination can take part in the examination. The examination period is mostly in April, and the registration and other procedures are similar to the county examination.

The chief examiner of this government examination is Li Yu, who is not only the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, but also the censor of Youdu.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zuodu Censor and Youdu Censor were both officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and both were of the second rank, and there were left and right deputy capital censors, who were the third rank; Zuo and Youqian Du Yushi, the fourth rank.Further down is the censor.

It can be said that he is a high-ranking official. He is the chief examiner of the government examination, and the pressure on people is not ordinary.

However, this is also the advantage of Zhili students. From the beginning of the exam, senior officials gave them questions. This kind of pressure will naturally make them get used to it after a long time. When they meet bigger officials, they will have a heart. normal heart.During the government examination, it was conducted in the examination room of Shuntian Prefecture.

Although the writing style in the north is not as prosperous as that in the south, there are hundreds of people who take the exam.

Wu Youwei found a place outside, brought over [-] people with Wantong, and booked a teahouse for drinking tea and snacks, waiting for Wu Qiong to come out.

At noon, here is a hot noodle soup, mutton soup base, put a lot of pepper, the taste is very good, wait until a quarter of the afternoon, Wu Qiong came out.

"Let's go back first." Wu Youwei didn't ask how he did in the exam, for fear of putting pressure on him.

Back at Wu's house in Jinshi Lane, Wu Qiong obediently wrote the paper silently and showed it to his uncle.

Wu Youwei pouted after reading it: "It's not bad!"

But in his heart, he was scratching his head. As expected of the champion who personally taught the grown-up children, the writing was many times better than the original owner!

Wu Qiong also knew that her uncle's evaluation was already very high, so she left and went back to pack her things.

After he left, Wu Youwei smiled: "If there are no accidents, I should also take the first place in the government examination."

"Why?" Wantong looked at him, "Aren't you modest?"

How could you make such a high-profile change immediately?

"Li Yu, it is said that he values ​​young talents very much." Wu Youwei thought for a while, and explained: "Actually, our Daming's employment rules are very interesting. Young people think that they can't do things well if they have no mouth; How many years can I be an official? So how to choose is a question.

Therefore, the imperial examinations and grades are also very important factors.

Even if Wu Qiong has passed the examination of scholar now, it will take at least two or three years to take the examination of Juren, and another three to six years before he can be admitted to Jinshi. At that time, Wu Qiong was about his age. ...then he can be delegated to be a magistrate. After making achievements, he can rise up step by step and reach the middle position of the local government. Then he will be recalled to Beijing and Central China, and the six departments will rotate. After he is 40 years old, he can join the cabinet.

This is the luckiest life plan.

What about Wu Youwei?But he thought that getting a good reputation would allow him to enter the Hanlin Academy openly and transcribe those ancient books.

If he is an official...., he hasn't thought so far, but he can influence Emperor Xianzong through Wantong and give some ideas, but when he thinks about the time to go to court, he.... wants to resign and quit .

It's okay to make suggestions, but he doesn't want to go to the court...to participate in....

"I haven't thought about this." Wantong thought for a while: "No one has ever said that!"

Of course, no one has said it anymore. This is all summed up by later generations. As the last empire ruled by the Han people, many people will never forget this dynasty.

And Daming achieved the dignity that only Qin Shihuang should have in a big country: no marriage, no tribute, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies.

From the beginning of the monarchy to the end of the monarchy, only Qin Shihuang and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty managed it.

None of the other dynasties, including the wise and mighty Tang Taizong.

Not to mention the Qing Dynasty later, in the Qing Dynasty, the women who were mixed up as princesses, princesses, etc. were all unlucky.

He pro-Mongolia does not know how many girls' lives ended so early.

"Of course you haven't thought about it." Those are all calculated by later generations: "But we have thought about it."

Three days after the government examination, the list will be released, and Wu Qiong is No.1 again!

"Little Sanyuan!" Wu Youwei shook his head: "I hope he can be a little Sanyuan."

Minor triples are common, but big triples are not.

Three days later, the college examination started.

The courtyard examination is a kind of examination that must be taken first in order to obtain the qualification to participate in the official imperial examination, and it is one of the children's examinations.

Candidates from all over the country take the exam in the county or government, presided over by the admiral of the province, and the candidates are called students, commonly known as scholars (maocai) or ministers.

The college exam can be taken twice within three years, and the college exam is held twice. The content of the exam is roughly the same as that of the prefectural and county exams.

The judges are judged by the head of the academy or Muyou, who is five hundred miles away.

This is to prevent the involvement of local personnel, which is unfair.

The number of people admitted in the first round is twice the number of selected scholars, and it is announced in a circle, with the seat number written instead of the name, which is called the "draft".After the second re-examination, the students who passed the examination were called "students", commonly known as "scholars", and they had "fame".

Entering the scholar-bureaucrat class; there are privileges such as exempting from corvee, not kneeling when seeing the county magistrate, and not being able to use torture casually.

This is the last exam to enter the scholar-bureaucrat class, but this exam is extremely strict. Many people passed the county exam and government exam, but passed the supplementary college exam.

Many people have taken the exam for a lifetime, but they are still "children...
