Chapter 419 State Examination

"Smack!"

With a loud bang, Old Master Jin slammed the book in his hand on the table, and pointed to Jin Mugen who was kneeling on the ground with trembling hands and said, "You, you are really angry with me, look at what kind of book this is!" It's just a matter of looking at it in private, and you dare to stuff it to me! Really, really, humiliating! ”

With an angry roar, Old Master Jin sat down on the chair with a snort, closed his eyes and sulked.

Today, I am a dead person, I was originally printing a book of poetry borrowed from the state school, but it turned out to be a forbidden book of trysts between men and women, and this dog slave didn't know how to check it, so he took it and distributed it to several pedants who were familiar with him, causing them to make fun of yin and yang, which was really embarrassing.

Looking back now, it's no wonder that the little guy in the printing workshop always looks at his always obedient expression, alas, a lot of years old, he actually did this, Sven swept the floor!

Thinking of this, Old Master Jin shook his head regretfully, his shaking of his head frightened Jin Mugen, and he directly knocked his head on the ground, raised it and cried: "Wronged, Da Lang!" ”

"Don't call me Dalang!" Old Master Jin said angrily.

"Well, then, Dean, I didn't do this! What I gave you is really a new language book, not this 'stealing incense'! Wronged! ”

"Wronged?" Old Master Jin said angrily: "Could it be that the craftsman in the printing workshop printed the wrong book? I read it, and the back of the book has the mark of my Luyuan Academy, so you can't deny it! ”

When Old Master Jin was ridiculed, Jin Mugen was also present to watch, knowing that he would definitely get angry about this, but when he gave it to him, he really saw that it was indeed a new language, and he was still being laughed at by the dog at the time, dog? That's right!

"Dean, listen to me! The villain really didn't lie to you, how dare I mess around with this kind of thing, and this book was given to me by Zhao Dagou, and then I gave it to you directly, if you don't believe it, I'll call him over and ask. ”

After saying that, Jin Mugen got up from the ground and wanted to turn around and go out to find the dog to come over to testify to himself, but was stopped by Old Master Jin.

"Come back! How many more people do you want to know? Well? Don't think I'm ashamed enough? ”

This......

Jin Mugen obediently knelt on the ground.

The room was instantly quiet, and after a long time, Old Master Jin sighed and said, "Forget it, this matter is over!" You get out! Go to the back kitchen and bring me something to eat! ”

Jin Mugen replied in a low voice, stood up and arched his hands, and walked out of the house silently.

I didn't investigate this matter, after all, it made the dean's reputation even more embarrassing, so I had to suffer a dumb loss.

The summer pond is the favorite place for the little babies, jumping in the water in groups of three or five, diving into the water for a while, jumping out of the water for a while, splashing the water, falling everywhere, a few of them also deliberately splashed water on passers-by, so that the little ladies who passed by cursed with their waists.

On the edge of the pond, Wang Hou, who was wearing a big lotus leaf, turned his head to Hua Fourteen, who was biting a bamboo tube and spraying water, and whispered: "Fourteen, where did you put the book you brought yesterday?" ”

Hua Shifu yawned and replied, "Ask it what it does, the book is full of this and that, and it says that it didn't write any exercises, so I threw it away." ”

"Thrown?" Wang Hou was surprised: "Why are you throwing it?" ”

"Why don't you throw it? You don't need it, and besides, the book was stolen, and keeping it is a scourge, and if it is discovered one day, it will be a bad thing! ”

"Okay!"

The book has been lost, and no matter how much it says, Wang Hou shook his head, picked off the lotus leaf, and threw it towards the sun in the sky.

There was a loud bang, and the dark clouds took advantage of the wind to block the hot sun like coals of fire in a moment.

A bolt of lightning followed, writhing among the dark clouds with fangs and claws.

Wang Hou, who was shrinking in the water, looked at the lotus leaf that fell on Hua Fourteen's head in a daze, and sighed: "Isn't it that I have achieved success?" ”

A torrential rain finally alleviated the hot weather for many days, and the dog carrying the bamboo basket looked up at the dazzling rainbow in the sky, and said in his heart, good omen, and walked slowly to the tribute courtyard.

The results of the last time the students in various counties made troubles came, and the Zhizhou Yamen reorganized a test in order to appease the students.

According to Lu Zhizhou's words, since you want to take the test, then let's take the test seriously, take the test seriously, and see if there are any good seedlings in Longzhou this year who can go to the Eastern Capital to participate in the big competition.

When he spoke, the whole state was mobilized, even Su Tongju, who was accused as a supervisor, was silent, no, it should be a muffled fortune.

Because all the things used in this test were purchased by him, not to mention just pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the summer clothes of everyone in Su Mansion were found.

This examination, in strict accordance with the requirements of the "Liberation Examination", of course, the difficulty of the questions will increase accordingly, as long as the students who are interested in participating in the imperial examination next year can sign up.

As soon as this news came out, the scholars of Quanzhou were in an uproar, such a good practice mobile phone meeting, they would not participate if their heads were kicked by a donkey, so the students in Quanzhou, as long as they passed Mengxue, all went to their respective county offices to register.

After the number of people was summed up, the county and county officials were urgently delivered to the Zhizhou Yamen, and Lu Zhizhou took a look, okay, four counties and two villages, a total of more than 1,200 people, which could scare him.

In previous years, the number of people counted was only about 500 at most, but this year it has more than tripled.

Without waiting for him to come out of his imagination, the big black man who was waiting next to him coughed and said, "Lu Xianggong, how can this Wang Chengcai, a businessman who cheats people everywhere, still take the state exam?" ”

"Huh?" Lu Zhizhou was stunned for a moment, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Cui San, what are you talking about?" ”

Cui San clasped his fists and saluted: "Lu Zhizhou, you are busy with official business, and you don't know some things, and the people below are the easiest to fool around." ”

"I heard that these students who came to sign up are really three and nine streams, and some people's identities can't pass the verification at all, so these bold thieves dare to let them sign up."

"Xianggong, please see, this person named Wang Chengcai wanders around Xicheng Leather Street on weekdays, abducts and deceives some merchants from other places, and has been sued to the yamen many times. Isn't it stained with the nobility of the Dharma field! ”

"There are also these people, either in the year of the sixtieth year, or in the Huangkou child, who came to our tribute academy for scientific research, which is even more ridiculous and generous! Please know the state of Mingjian! ”

As the saying goes, clay figurines still have three points of fire! Not to mention a dignified governor.

Therefore, Lu Zhizhou reprimanded fiercely for the public case: "It really makes sense, Cui joins the army, you send people quickly, no, you personally take people to all counties and villages, strictly investigate this matter, and grant you the right to arrest those who are perfunctory, and then carefully screen the students who apply for the examination this time, and eliminate all those who do not meet the identity, and never let anyone come to defile this Wenchang Law Field." ”

"Yes! Messire! Cui San clasped his palms together and sang a promise, and walked away with the steel knife on his waist menacingly.

After the implementation of the imperial examination system, this way of reaching the power class was strictly controlled by the government and those in power, similar to the political examination in later generations, and many regulations also restricted some people from participating.

For example, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, those who could participate in the imperial examination were only the children of scholarly families or powerful families, and the commoners' families, sorry, you are not qualified.

So how do you qualify? The answer is that your ancestors have been officials, or have received a letter of recommendation from a certain official or a famous person.

Therefore, the imperial examination of these two dynasties is a joke, and those who can participate in the imperial examination are inextricably linked to the authorities, so the power of the court has always been monopolized in their hands.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was in a yellow robe, naturally saw this shortcoming, so he waved a big stick and was determined to break this monopoly, so from the Song Dynasty, Bai Ding's children could also take the exam.

Of course, not everyone can participate, after all, the Song Dynasty was also a feudal dynasty, so those children of prostitutes and the descendants of subordinates and soaps are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, as well as prisoners, monks, Taoist priests, merchants, slaves, and criminals.

Strictly enforce the class identity of Shinong, industry and commerce, and when it comes to this, I will mention in passing, what people often call the "three religions and nine streams".

Originally, the "three religions" referred to Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, while the "nine streams" referred to the nine major academic schools from the pre-Qin period to the early Han Dynasty, such as Confucianism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, Legalism, Celebrity, Moism, Zongheng, Miscellaneous, and Peasant, all of which belonged to the nine major schools.

Later, with the development of all walks of life and the progress of society, according to the division of occupations, the term "three religions and nine streams" slowly contained a derogatory meaning.

The three religions have not changed, and the "nine streams" are divided into two types, such as the upper nine streams, which refer to: emperors, sages, hermits, children, literati, warriors, farmers, craftsmen, and merchants.

As for the lower ninth rate, there is a children's rhyme that says, "First-class actors, second-rate pushers, third-rate kings eight, fourth-rate turtles, five shaved heads, six wiping backs, seven prostitutes, eight thieves, and nine blowing ashes", and every profession selected into it contains deep discrimination.

It can really be described as "the old social consciousness of all evils!" ”

Cui Sanlang got the order, and naturally led the messengers to go down to the counties to investigate, and Longzhou must not be ignored, so the unlucky Longzhou County Ya, the three "mud people", had to pick up the burden.

Although this examination was conducted in accordance with the requirements of the "explanatory examination", after all, it was only a "trial examination", and when it was really implemented, the requirements were not so strict, and there were even some laxatives.

For example, the dog is from Youchuan County, but he is in Longzhou City, so he can't run back for a "thorough exam"!

Therefore, the government posted a notice that as long as eligible students have a household registration or a road guide issued by the government, or even an identity card for studying in the academy, they can come to the county government to register.

With the rainbow in the sky, the dog carried a bamboo basket, slowly came to the gate of the tribute courtyard, full of people, the most centered, is the student wearing a scarf, and then is the small servant who follows on the side, more than a dozen steps away, is the official on duty order, they are a separation belt, and then there is the people who surround to find the lively look, mixed between them is the hawkers who push the wheelbarrow, carry the load and shout loudly to do business.

It's really a picture of peace and prosperity, but unfortunately the rainbow in the sky was gradually blown away by the strong wind blowing from the north.
