On the ninth day of August, the weather was fine.

Feng Ziying stood calmly in front of the gate of the Gongyuan, and the excitement in her heart slowly calmed down.

After all, it's still this day, and everything needs to be performed in the next few days to see the real outline.

Columns of candidates held their breath and waited to enter the venue after the inspection.

The candidates who are not from Beizhili have already returned to their hometowns.

People like Fu Zonglong, Wang Yingxiong and others had already set off to return to their hometowns before the heavy rain in Beijing, there was no way, the distance was too far, and it took more than a month on the road, so they had to return to their hometowns in advance.

If they can skip the township examination, then they must return to Qingtan Academy as soon as possible and enter the West Garden to study.

If they fail the township examination, it depends on them, and in principle, they can still return to Qingtan Academy to continue their hard studies for three years and strive to pass the scientific examination.

Of course, there are also a considerable number of students who may not continue their studies due to family, livelihood and other personal reasons, and there are many such cases.

Like Fang Youdu, he wants to go back to Nanzhili to take the township exam, according to his original assumption, if he fails the township exam, he may not have the opportunity to study again.

However, in Qingtan Academy, he has participated in many academy activities and has a good reputation, and the mountain chief and the head of the academy have encouraged him to return to the academy to study for another three years even if he fails the township examination, which also makes Fang Youdu very grateful.

Xu Qixun also went back to Nanzhili to participate in the township test, and he and Fang Youdu set off together.

Song Shixiang returned to Shaanxi, and Chen Qiyu, Zheng Chongjian, Sun Chuanting, and their group of Shanxi also left two days later than Song Shixiang.

The entire Qingtan Academy, the side of the West Garden has not moved, and the side of the East Garden, before August, there are only about a dozen people left, these are all from the state capitals of Beizhili, and they all have to go to the Shuntian Mansion Gongyuan to participate in the township test.

And the only one who is really familiar with Feng Ziying is Fan Jingwen, who is from Hejian Mansion.

Fan Jingwen stood beside Feng Ziying with his hands behind his back, "Ziying, are you nervous?" ”

"Brother Mengzhang, I can't compare with you, can I not be nervous? After studying hard for eight years, this is what happened to me, this is going to sink into the sand, where to put this face when I go back? Feng Ziying smiled self-deprecatingly, "My family wanted to send it, but I resolutely refused, because I was afraid that I would be under too much pressure and affect my exam." ”

Fan Jingwen is indeed not too nervous, he went to the university because he was worried about losing his mother and couldn't take the exam, so he participated in the autumn festival, otherwise he would have passed it a long time ago.

This Keqiu Qiu Yan doesn't have much pressure on him, whether it is the scriptures or the current policy theory, for him, he should be quite sure.

Of course, this autumn and spring is too accidental, even if you are a bamboo in your chest, there are still many people who often fall off the list unexpectedly, this situation is not uncommon, so Fan Jingwen doesn't dare to say that he is sure that he can pass.

He is nineteen years old this year, and his age in the Jiashe is not too young, and his Jingyi foundation is very deep, so he has a greater grasp of Qiu Yan, but in terms of current policy, he thinks that he is much inferior to Feng Ziying, so he is more worried about Chun Yan.

Autumn is a matter of righteousness, and spring is a matter of strategy.

This is an obvious trend after the gradual change of the Great Zhou scientific examination system after the 35th year of the Yuan Dynasty, and even in the Autumn Period, the weight of the policy theory of the time has also increased greatly, but it is impossible to basically be Jingyi like the Spring Dynasty, there is no big problem, and it is necessary to spell the views of the policy theory of the time.

"Ziying, your scriptures are indeed slightly poor, but you must know that this is the Shuntianfu Township Test, I believe your problem is not big, but if you want to have that good ranking, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Fan Jingwen smiled.

"Brother Mengzhang is saying that the township test quota in Shuntian Mansion is the most lenient?" Feng Ziying laughed.

This is the advantage of Shuntianfu, because Guozijian is in Beijing, the original Beizhili township test quota is only one hundred and twenty, but thirty-five years after Yuanxi, Guozijian's separate thirty places were merged into Beizhili, which made the township test on Beizhili's side much more relaxed.

Although nominally, the inmates of the Guozi Prison can also participate in the Beizhili Township Examination, but strict attendance roll call is required as a prerequisite for referring to the Beizhili Township Examination.

Many Gongsheng thought that in order to take advantage of this little advantage with reference to Beizhili, they had to delay in the Guozi Prison for a few years, so basically no one was willing to take advantage of this "small advantage".

This is equivalent to increasing the number of thirty places to Beizhili, plus the five places added in the autumn of the first year of Yonglong, the number of Chinese-style places in the township examination of Beizhili has increased to one hundred and fifty-five, and compared with the prosperous style of study in Nanzhili, there is only five differences, so the pressure on the examination here is much less.

"It's not all." Fan Jingwen smiled slightly and shook his head: "This is the Shuntian Mansion, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the root of the Imperial City, and the presidents are all directly dispatched by the Ministry of Rites, so in terms of topic selection, Brother Yu is estimated to be more inclined to current affairs that are more suitable for you to play, Brother Yu feels that you can play to your strengths and avoid weaknesses to make up for your shortcomings in Jingyi." ”

"Oh?" Feng Ziying's heart moved, he didn't expect that he would still have such an advantage over himself in Shuntian Mansion.

"Not necessarily in other provinces, well, that's also the intuition of the foolish brother." Fan Jingwen smiled slightly.

The Shuntianfu Tribute Courtyard is one of the largest tribute institutes in the country, and it is not only responsible for the Autumn Contest of each subject, but also the National Spring Contest will be held here next year.

In terms of conditions, the environment here is difficult to compare with the Gongyuan on the side of Nanzhili, but the degree of sacredness has long left Nanzhili's side behind.

There are more than 4,500 people, which is the number of participants in the test in the north of the current department, and there are only 155 places, so you can naturally calculate how much your Chinese probability is.

Of course, for the students of Qingtan Academy, they are more confident, whether it is in terms of the foundation of scripture and righteousness or the theory of current policy, they are far superior to other ordinary schools and private academies.

A total of 19 students from the entire Qingtan Academy participated in this round of autumn in Beizhili, including Fan Jingwen and Feng Ziying.

Compared with the eight-share system of the former Ming Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty has undergone gradual changes in the past 90 years, especially the changes after the 32nd year of the Yuan Dynasty, whether it is the autumn or the spring period, it has undergone relatively big changes, first from three rounds to two rounds, Jingyi has been compressed to the first round, and although the regulations also have strict requirements, they are no longer as strict and harsh as before, and the importance of policy theory has gradually risen.

This is also Feng Ziying's greatest confidence, otherwise he really doesn't have the confidence to face off against these classmates who have been studying the Four Books and Five Classics since they were children.

When the first round of the Jingyi exam ended, Feng Ziying felt a little bitter in her heart.

Although he realized that this was his own shortcoming, and he also felt that he had played well, when he compared it with other classmates, especially with Fan Jingwen, he realized how big the gap was in this aspect.

Fan Jingwen doesn't care very much, Feng Ziying's shallowness is known to everyone, to be honest, Zhou Chaozong has helped him with targeted tutoring for more than a year, which has improved him a lot, of course, if you want to compare Jingyi with other students in Qingtan Academy, there must still be a gap, but you may not be much inferior to the students from other academies.

So when the second round of policy theory exam questions came out, Fan Jingwen couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw it, this is sending Feng Ziying to pass the test.

The exam question is very simple, "A brief discussion on the government's response to the disaster in the Northland".

What's the difference between this and blatant cheating?

Although Feng Ziying sent them a piece of "Epidemic Prevention Preparation", the participants all knew that this actually covered many prevention matters after the flood, and more importantly, these students participated in the entire disaster relief process, not only Qingtan Academy, Chongzheng Academy, Tonghui Academy and Diecui Academy also participated, but if you want to write, you need to write from the idea, planning and practical operation, this is a really good article, but this is exactly what my own group of people have done before.

It can be said that when this question came out, the four major academies did not complain, after all, Jingshi City only suffered this catastrophe last month, and everyone participated, but the only group of people in Guozijian was afraid that they suffered the most, but they themselves had no sense of existence, so they were naturally ignored.

********

Yulin Town.

Feng Tang had been standing at the top of the city wall for an hour.

Motionless.

He knew that today was the day of the Autumn Festival, and his son had been studying since he was six years old, and now, for eight years, especially after going to Qingtan Academy in the past two years, the changes are obvious to all.

But in the final analysis, no matter how much change there is, it still has to be reflected in whether this autumn can be lived.

This is also related to the future of the Feng family, it seems that he has been here for two years and seems to be insignificant at this moment, as long as Brother Keng can pass the autumn exam, everything over there is worth it.

A soldier under the city wall quickly entered the urn city, and then hurried up the wall from the side.

"Report!"

"Speak."

"The Yongxingbao Xu garrison hunting was raided by the Tatars, and its current whereabouts are unknown."

"Oh? This guy! A smile flashed in Feng Tang's eyes, but his face was full of anger, "Order General You to coordinate the attack of the Xin'an Bianbao Town Army, so as to be safe, and not fall for the enemy's plan to lure the enemy." ”

"Whoa!"

"Order, the garrison of Yongxingbao must not act rashly, and everything must be arrived by General You before they can act."

"Whoa."

"In addition, let the dragon prepare the team and prepare to attack."

"Whoa!"

Looking at the herald who went down the wall, a grim smile appeared on the corner of Feng Tang's mouth, You Shigong was really able to endure it, and it had dragged on for so long.

This cancer should have been removed long ago.

What was attacked by the Tatars, and I don't know what means You Shigong used to lure Xu Jianzhong out of Yongxing Fort, and he could kill him in one fell swoop.

This kind of means is worth revealing that he finally didn't choose the wrong person.

Thinking of this, Feng Tang felt more and more that his son was his lucky star, if it weren't for the three You brothers, he would certainly be able to gain a foothold in Yulin Town, but it would not be so fast and efficient.

After solving Xu Jianzhong's unstable chess piece behind him, the entire Yulin Town is basically under his control, and some plans can be implemented.
