Chapter 80 Entrance Examination Begins (Asking for a Monthly Pass Collection)

On February 15 of the first year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty Science and Technology Examination kicked off in the Gongyuan in Beijing.

In this examination, more than 3,000 people participated, and only more than 300 people were able to pass the examination.

The pattern of the general examination and the township examination is exactly the same, it also goes through three exams, each exam lasts for three days, the entire exam lasts nine days, ends on February 23, and then there are ten days of time to mark the papers, and the list is released in the Ministry of Rites on the sixth day of the first month of March.

The examination list is called Jibang, because it is held in the spring, and the examination is also called Chunqiu.

Those who can take the high school examination are called tributes.

Gongshi is qualified to participate in the palace examination, and the title of the gold list is already a sure thing on the list.

However, there are exceptions, and the tributes who will take the high school examination will also have to take the re-examination before taking the palace examination.

At the same time, the ceremonial department of the Ministry of Rites conducts relevant training with Honglu Temple, which includes rituals such as roll call, scattering, praise and prostration.

If it is a tribute with a physical disability, it is very likely that he will be screened and will not be eligible to participate in the temple examination.

The inspection of the general examination is still strict, but it is slightly better than the rural examination.

In the middle of February in the north, the temperature in the capital is very low, and all the people who enter the Gongyuan to participate in the examination are wearing cotton clothes.

However, the grade of the examination is different after all, the person who participates in the examination does not need to bring any other items, the Ministry of Rites is all ready, and after the candidate is inspected, he is immediately issued with three candles and enters his or her own examination booth to take the exam.

Feeling that there was not much difference from the township test, Shi Kefa entered the Gongyuan in the capital after being examined.

Entering the examination booth, Shi Kefa felt his body numb, in his opinion, the sergeant's inspection was still strict, although he did not take off the cotton clothes on his body, but the sergeant searched very carefully, and even took off his shoes.

The climate is indeed cold, there is no way, the capital is in the north, and the climate is by no means comparable to the south.

Shi Kefa is still young, and he still has a lot of advantages compared to those older candidates.

However, it was precisely because of his youth that when he entered the Tribute Academy, he met a lot of probing eyes.

However, Shi Kefa didn't care, after he sat down, he rubbed his hands and feet vigorously to warm his body a little.

The same sound also came from the examination booths on the left and right, which made Shi Kefa not only smile, it seems that everyone is the same.

Among the people who participated in the examination, there were many white-headed people, at least over 50 years old, these people were solemn and nervous, and it may not be the first time to participate in the examination.

Shi Kefa couldn't help but sigh that the imperial examination has become the only way for poor students to leap into the dragon gate since the day they were born.

But I don't know how many people have fallen into the sand on this road, and they haven't even been able to turn over a wave!

However, he Shi Kefa himself is a beneficiary, and according to the status and influence of the Shi family, he will always be superior in society.

Shi Kefa kept stomping his feet, sighing, just hoping to warm himself up, this weather seems to be able to freeze even the aura!

"Bang, bang, bang. ”

The gong sounded, and the test finally began.

Shi Kefa opened it and looked at the test questions, and immediately became confident, only to see the test questions: there is a way to make money, there are many people who live, there are few people who eat, those who are sick for it, and those who use it are comfortable, and the wealth is enough.

After thinking for a while, Shi Kefa wrote in one go, without adding points: "The king's wealth in the world is just born with Taoism."

The husband and wealth cannot be gathered and can be born, and the life has its own avenue, but it can be said in vain that "the outside is the end of the inside"?

......

...... And the people who are leveling the world, and the number of powerful husbands is not the king's business.

...... There is an endless treasure between the two, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it.

I am the one who makes money for the people who level the world:

If wealth is not born for a day, the qi of all things will be consumed immediately, and the living people will not be able to be self-sufficient......

...... Knowing that it must be born, and the surplus and deficiency are prosperous, you can adjust the level of personnel

Wealth is inherently good!

...... There is a levy in the city, the national service is interested, and the power of Lu Yan is called rich and strong, and the husband has the style of maintaining justice, and the merchant is counted, and the son and the mother have the right to do so, and they can't last for a long time.

...... The avenue is to set its rules, not to damage the lower to the benefit, not to take the other to this, the restraint but not, and the world is at peace with the righteousness.

The road and the essence of the word, and the life of the Fu, to not be greedy for the rich, to not save for the treasure, pure heart and few desires, both to clear the origin of wealth and from the is, the measures are correct, the implementation of the action, hundreds of officials and thousands of people, the group of hands to observe the development of the Son of Heaven......

...... What the Tao does, the tycoon is right.

...... The way to make money, that is, the way to level the world.

”

Translations:

The king's wealth in the world is only born of the Tao.

Wealth cannot be gathered and can be born, and the self that is born has a great reason, may it just say "the outer part and the inner end"?......

Moreover, the people of the world are pacified...... ，

And the fate of power, whether there is or is not, should not be the fundamental reason for the king's affairs.

...... There are endless collections in between, don't take this opportunity to get tired, only not selfish and do it with the intention of decency.

I am the words of the world to create wealth:

There is nothing that does not give birth to wealth, and if wealth does not give birth for a day, then the qi of all things will be consumed immediately, and the living person will not be able to preserve himself......

...... Knowing that they can't live without birth, and the prosperity and decline can play the peace of personnel

There is a great reason to create wealth!

Evidence of purchase...... ，

The state has a positive format, and the commercial arithmetic, the son and the mother have power, and it is short and not long.

...... The great principle to determine its planning, without detrimental to the benefits of the use, do not change them to with this, moderation and not exceed, with the national counterparts in the positive.

If you are good at the road, you will trust each other with life, and you will not be greedy for wealth, because there is no savings as treasure, and you will have few desires, since you are the source of wealth, therefore, you should pay attention to what is right, and you can give it, and a group of officials and people will come to observe the development of the Son of Heaven......

What the road does...... , tycoon and rightly .

The way to become wealthy...... , that is, the great principle of calming the world by the right moment."

......

Nine days passed in a flash, and Shi Kefa, who walked out of the Tribute Courtyard, his face was still calm, and if he looked closely, he could still see a confident smile.

In this examination, Shi Kefa felt good about himself, his prediction was quite accurate, and the exam questions were really about the way to make money, the selection of talents, and the governance of officials.

This kind of article is not easy to write, but Shi Kefa is sure to be on the list with his deep basic knowledge and quick mind, coupled with his extraordinary performance.

In Shi Kefa's view, to do a good job in this eight-strand article, it is very complicated to say that it is complicated, and it can be regarded as simple to say that it is simple, that is, the words are concise, to the point, and the most important thing is to be direct.

The point of view does not need to be particularly mature, otherwise it may also attract attention, just imagine a person who has never stepped into the official career, no practical experience, how can he put forward the views of the officials who shocked the four seats.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Shi Kefa wrote the article on the rule of officials that he was most satisfied with.

The style of the article is good, and the views on the rule of officials put forward are also concise and direct, which is exactly in line with the emperor's requirements for the performance to be concise, and the views on improving the rule of officials are also well known to the public.

That is, the key to the rule of officials is to select and employ people, and if the right people are used, all problems will be solved, and if the wrong people are used, the government will become more and more chaotic.

"Young master, you're done with the exam. ”

Seeing Shi Xiaoliu waiting outside the Tribute Courtyard, Shi Kefa's face finally showed a smile.

"After the exam, let's go, let's go to the inn and have a good drink. ”

"Young master, you have been in the tribute courtyard for nine days, and the meals are all given by the imperial court, I don't know how good the food is, and you have to go to the inn to eat." ”

"What do you know, in the Gongyuan, all that comes to mind is articles, who cares about the quality of the food. ”

"What the young master said, what he said... ”

Looking at Shi Kefa with a red light on his face, Shi Kefa shook his head and smiled bitterly, Shi Xiaoliu's body was much stronger, and it obviously cost a lot of spirit stones.

Although the price of the capital is not as good as Jinling City, Kaifeng Fucheng and other places, the price of food and accommodation is not low, and Shi Kefa and the two of them have also consumed more than 40 spirit stones in more than 20 days.

At the end of the examination, there is still nearly half a month to release the list, and if you pass the Gongshi examination, you will have to participate in the palace examination held in the Forbidden City Jianji Hall on March 16, so it will take more than a month before and after.

For more than a month, there must be a lot of spirit stones consumed.

What's more critical is that after the end of the test, the more than 3,000 people in the capital will not leave in a short time.

During this period, there will be more visits and exchanges with each other, and there are countless banquets, and it is impossible for Shi Kefa not to participate, nor to invite guests, and the cost of this is still unknown.

Shi Kefa generally knew that there were as many as 400 people from Nanzhili who went to the capital to participate in the examination, including 83 people from the new imperial examination, which was extremely large and far ahead of other provinces.

During the examination, there are also people who specialize in collecting information about candidates from Nanzhi, although Shi Kefa arrived in the capital on the 14th of the first month.

After that, he studied his homework behind closed doors and did not attend any meetings, but after the exam, his information would definitely be known.

Speaking of which, when he participated in the examination in Kaifeng Fucheng, Shi Kefa still had a lot of fame.

Walking out of Chongwen Gate, the restaurants and inns on both sides of the street were extremely lively, and the two of them found several restaurants in a row, all of which were full.

Shi Kefa, who reacted, looked at Shi Xiaoliu and spoke.

"Xiaoliu, didn't you book a restaurant? ”

"Young master, you didn't say it, I didn't know to order a meal in advance. ”

"Then there is no way, look at the restaurants and inns near here, all of them are empty. ”

"Young master, I know there is a place. ”
