Just when Zhu Youxiao stayed in Tianjin, watching the test of the aircraft carrier with relish, planning the future main naval base, and paying attention to the rectification of the naval soldiers, the matter about the imperial examination that he had discussed with Xu Guangqi before finally spread throughout the Ming Dynasty through the Imperial Daily, official residence newspapers, and announcements.

Zhejiang, at the gate of Shaoxing, a warp official dressed as a young man is posting a notice. The people of Daming also have the habit of watching the excitement, and soon some people gathered here to watch. Now that the Ming government has been restructured, all the public officials have a establishment, and they are not allowed to hire helpers, errands, etc.

"Big brother, what are you posting an announcement about?" Among the onlookers, a scholar boldly asked.

"It's the announcement of liberal arts, about the imperial examination, don't worry, wait until I finish posting it and read it slowly, this is the last task of the year, and I'm going to go back on vacation after posting." For some reason, when the warp official talked about vacation, he looked a little sad.

"Vacation? It's only late November, and it's not yet a small year, so how can the government have a holiday? The reader asked in surprise.

Hearing this, the warp official was even more sad, "Yes, it's not a holiday yet, but I'm on vacation in advance, and all the government will go home on holiday for the New Year, but it's impossible to leave no one, there must always be some people on duty, and I will stay on duty this year." ”

"Oh, I see." The reader suddenly realized that this was an unlucky egg, who was left on duty by the Shangguan, and those who were not allowed to return home on Chinese New Year's Eve were not allowed to return home for reunion.

Satisfying the curiosity in his heart, the reader smacked his mouth comfortably, but he suddenly remembered something, and asked a little eagerly again, "Wait, this big brother, which department did you say this is just now?" ”

"It's an announcement of liberal arts, about next year's imperial examination, I heard that it seems to be a notice from the Ministry of Education." The institutions directly under the Ministry of the Ming Dynasty are divided into three levels, and the liberal arts correspond to the Ministry of Culture, which specializes in the management of the imperial examinations.

This scholar is a showman, and he just took the exam this year, and he will be able to participate in the township examination next year.

"Bodhisattva bless, I hope there won't be any moths in next year's township exam!" Looking at the notice that was gradually unfolded and posted, the scholar secretly prayed in his heart.

Xiucai exams are available every year, most of them are in early April, and this year there are also in Shaoxing Mansion, although the content of the exam is still the previous ones, but there is a great difference in form, first of all, the previous county examination, the government examination, the three-level examination of the hospital examination is gone.

After all, the position of mentioning the school has been revoked, and he has become the director of the Department of Culture, so naturally he can't preside over the college examination, so the college examination has been canceled, and only the county examination and the government examination are left.

Moreover, in the past, the imperial examinations presided over by the county order and the prefect were all handed over to the liberal arts and the trough to preside, and the local magistrate did not come forward. This makes the talents who have a tradition of worshipping the teacher in the past not know how to follow, which one should they worship? Governor or Liberal Arts Chief?

Although the content of the exam is still the same as before, many people are still worried about what will happen next year. This is also the act of praying in the heart of this Xiucai, change or something, for those with vested interests, it is the most annoying.

Shaoxing is worthy of being the peak of literary style, and after such a while, there were seven or eight more showmen who came over and watched from the side. Of course, they will never admit that they have come to see many people here and want to come and read and explain the decree and show their talents.

The warp official's movements were very fast, perhaps because he was in a hurry to go back to rest, and his movements were still a little rough, which made the bulletin a little wrinkled, but these talents couldn't care about this, and stretched their necks to watch.

"100-point test?" Xiucai, who was the first to ask, because of his best position, browsed the reform of the township examination at once, but the content on the notice made him very confused, the 100-point system, an unfamiliar word, but this is the examination method for next year's autumn.

"Damn, it's really changed." This Xiucai's heart was full of grief and indignation, and the prayer just now was in vain, "The Bodhisattva of bullshit, it's useless." ”

"100-point system, all questions have a score value, the examiner gives the score according to the candidate's answer, and finally the total score is used to arrange the noun, draw the admission line, and all those who exceed the admission line will be admitted, with a full score of 100 points." Another showman muttered, repeating what had been written all over the place.

"The shape of this township test is so weird!"

"Yes, yes, it's weird that all the questions are on one paper, answered uniformly, and then handed in."

"That's right, and the presiding officer of the township test is not sent by the central government, but the director of the Cultural Affairs Department."

Just after browsing the content of the first half, these showmen couldn't help but discuss and express their opinions, but all of them questioned the official document. The host, the form of the paper, the examination method, etc., are all in the ranks of their complaints.

"Look, there's still a question about the Xiucai exam below." Suddenly, a man shouted, attracting the attention of all the talents. Only then did they realize that they had not read all the contents of the notice, but had only read the first half of the bulletin and discussed it.

calmed down their emotions a little, and these Xiucai continued to look down, although the Xiucai exam has nothing to do with them, but it is related to their relatives and friends, even if it doesn't matter, it's good to have more knowledge, and they can brag to others.

Seven or eight Xiucai all gathered in front of the poster, occupied the place, squinted their eyes and looked carefully, while the other people, at first sight, were related to the scholars, some left one after another, and some smiled and let the place go, and let these Xiucai squeeze in.

"Cancel the distinction between the county examination and the government examination, unify it as the college entrance examination, cancel the five-person joint guarantee, and only those who hold a high school diploma can participate."

This first one alone shook the hearts of these readers.

"College entrance examination, such a strange name, why not call it the college entrance examination?" A Xiucai said strangely, a college entrance examination suddenly popped up in the township examination, which is indeed very stringy, and I don't know why, he always feels that this name contains full of malice.

"What are you paying attention to this, you should pay attention to this high school, what is high school? Why do you need his graduation certificate to take the Xiucai college entrance examination? A showman interrupted.

"yes, what's this high school?" Others also questioned. It's just that after asking around, I found that this high school is a mysterious thing, and everyone present doesn't seem to know about it.

For a while, these showmen looked at each other, and I don't know why this is the case.

"This, I heard that when our Shaoxing prefect was reforming the land, it seems that some family schools were confiscated and some schools were built, as if one of them was called a high school." A Xiucai suddenly spoke up and said in a hesitant tone.

"Wait, I think I remember somewhere to see it." Another Xiucai slapped his thigh and hurriedly turned over the things in his hand, it was an Imperial Daily, looking at the brand-new level, it was just released today.

After a few clicks, he turned to the central decree page, on which a piece of decree was published, and in the publisher column, the famous one was the Cabinet Ministry of Education.

"This is it." Xiucai was overjoyed, and then quickly recited, "Outside the county seat, each village, according to the number of people, set up a different number of primary school teachers, for the village middle school children enlightenment, the school system is five years, in the county, to the district as a unit, the same set up primary school, for the district school children enlightenment, primary school, set up a middle school, the middle school is divided into two, for the junior high school, for the high school, for the junior high school, for the junior high school three years, high school two years, those who pass the assessment, the method of graduation certificate, those who hold a high school graduation certificate, can take the college entrance examination." ”

"This ........" After reading the decree, all the talents present looked at each other, such a strict school level, it was simply step by step, promoted layer by layer, and implemented the ten-year cold window everywhere.

"Every village must have a primary school, and there must be a primary school teacher." A Xiucai seemed to have discovered something, and said a little distractedly, "The entire Shaoxing Mansion, more than a dozen counties, and no less than a thousand villages, how many primary school teachers do you need." ”

"yes, how can the teacher be enough?" A Xiucai said, but he was immediately stunned, seemed to react, and exclaimed, "It's not good, I'm in danger!" ”

"Brother Tai ......" a Xiucai wanted to ask, but before he could finish asking, the exclaimed Xiucai blurted out, "There are not many people in the house, and there are not many Xiucai, there are definitely not enough teachers, no one is available, Fuzun, no, the little master will definitely catch us on an errand, no, I have to go back and study well, and I will definitely be admitted to the exam." ”

"Farewell, I'll go first." After saying that, he pulled his legs and ran.

The little grandmaster is the liberal arts chief in the county, the grandmaster in the fuzhong, and the great grandmaster in the province.

Looking at Xiucai, who had already disappeared, the others also reacted quickly, and as soon as they gave up their hands to each other, they left one after another, the rumors of the little grandmaster's arrest were not groundless, but true, but it was not Xiucai who was arrested, but Tongsheng who had not passed the hospital examination before.

However, if you take the college exam, you can't be called a showman. Although the little grandmaster did not extend his magic grasp to the talents, it was because they wanted to see Qiu Fu, if it was Qiu Fu, it would not be ........

I can't pass the autumn season, and my career is definitely hopeless, so I either joined the work early, or I didn't want to be a teacher, or I didn't go to the township to be a civil servant, oh no, I was a bureaucracy.

It's not impossible, but it's bound to happen, thinking about the tragic situation in the future, these talents can't wait to have four pairs of eyes and print the content of the book into their heads.

Such a situation, with the spread of the proclamation, is not uncommon in the entire Ming Dynasty, and there is no longer a single talent hanging outside, and they all study diligently.

There are thousands of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of people, all kinds of county orders, especially in some remote places, there are already Xiucai who have been arrested on errands, after all, there are so many scholars in a county, and now there are suddenly so many official positions, and there are not enough manpower at all. Who will be arrested if you don't catch the show?

Moreover, these talents are still very useful, and none of them dare not come, after all, if they do not abide by the decree of the Ministry of Education, they will be deprived of their fame and will be deprived of their official career for life.

This is the most vicious punishment for the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, second only to the three generations who cannot take the imperial examination.
