[Ask for votes first, and then say a small revision, a few days ago, I occasionally flipped through the historical materials, and found that the full name of the school official in the Wanli period should be the imperial history of the Admiral School, and waited until the Tianqi Dynasty to avoid the name of Emperor Xizong Zhu changed the school word to a more word, and it took a while before it was finally determined to be the Admiral Xuezheng, so the previous title is wrong, and today it has all been changed, it took a lot of time, and it has to be slower]

On the sixth day of April, the government examination officially kicked off.

Wang Xingping, who should have rested before, didn't sleep well in the past few days.

It's not that he's worried about the results of the exam, he didn't take the results this time to heart, not to mention that he also showed his heart to Sun Chongxian, which can be regarded as a full vaccination.

And the culprit that caused him not to get a safe pillow is really the business of Poly Bank now, since the return of the Rong Institute to send Liu Rust and Ni Zhumo away, a few days after the return of Liu Rust and Ni Zhumo, Poly Bank's iron reputation has become famous in Guiyang City, which is the happy and annoying thing caused by his newly conceived advertisement.

Borrowed from the month signs and posters of later generations, the content is not like the title pages of booksellers and store couplets that are common on the market today, but adopts the form of easy-to-understand folk New Year paintings, but the protagonists are all beautiful women. or holding scissors in his hand and cutting, or lifting a kitchen knife to cook, Yang Wencong painted according to Wang Xingping's requirements, and used Wang Xingping's perspective and fine brush methods to paint a water spirit woman vividly.

Each poster is printed with a sentence written by him himself - 'Wangjia Poly Iron Factory, dealing in all kinds of ironware, good quality and low price, there is only one in the north corner of the new city, there is no other place'. He also printed warnings such as the official government beware of fire candles in the blank space next to the poster, and posted them all over the city, so that the foreign merchants who came and went to Guiyang were suddenly curious, but it was only a few days of hard work, together with the Futai and the gate of the palace, they all looked like they were about to be broken down.

In fact, if you want to talk about advertising, although Guiyang is remote, but there are a lot of Sichuan merchants and Jiangxi merchants who come and go, and there are also two shippers from Zhejiang, but in the city, there are some shop signs and the like, and Wang Xingping, a sky-high signboard of three zhang high, has seen it at the door of a merchant in the big cross, but he has never combined painting and posters in the past. It is because of such an interesting thing that Yang Wencong is willing to do, in order to paint the handsome woman vividly, the private houses outside the north city have been patronized by him in those days, and the anecdote of this young master Yang spending money in the fresh fish alley and only looking at people and not doing things has also spread.

But Yang Wencong's painting is a painting, but it has nothing to do with others to do it himself, unlike Wang Xingping's business name thorns received in the past few days are piled up on the desk, some are curious about the goods of the Wangjia Iron Factory want to see the sample, and some have already bought the goods and think it is good and want to underwrite, this business does not seem to be a comfortable thing.

Today, Yang Wencong, the guarantor, was called up by Wang Xingping before dawn, the government test is different from the county test, the range of candidates is larger, and the number of people who have been eliminated by the county test is equivalent to the scale of the county test, only slightly more.

The location of the examination was changed to the government office, but there was no special examination booth either.

This time, many candidates gathered at the gate of the government before dawn, some simply stayed overnight, and those candidates from other places rushed to the city a few days in advance, and today for convenience, the city gate of Guiyang also made an exception to open in advance, which is for the candidates outside the city to enter the city early without delay.

Before arriving at the door of the palace, I have already seen the lanterns on the road, some of which are written with the name of the master's family, some of which have the honorific names of the priests, and some of them simply draw a monogram on the lantern so that people do not get separated when there are many people, and the name inspection after the delay is also regarded as self-promotion.

The vendors set up their stalls early, selling rice noodles and selling face wash by the way, although it is inevitable that there will be a cloak after the roll call later, but it does not mean that the reader does not love decency. In fact, there are such hawkers during the county exam, but most of the county exams are candidates from the vicinity of Xingui County, and there are few who are not well prepared, so there are few hawkers.

As usual, the roll call inspection, as usual after a search, Wang Xingping can feel that the government examination is indeed a lot stricter than the county examination, at least I heard that the seat can not be chosen casually, but there are still a lot of Yisheng references, it seems that the examiner will indeed take care of Yisheng, of course, there should be talented people in Yisheng who cannot generalize.

Sun Chongxian, the prefect of Guiyang, sat in front of the main hall of the government and listened to the roll call below, and the candidates who had already passed the test twice took the white paper and went to their respective positions to sit down after the last comparison. Sun Chongxian looked at the appearance of the courtyard and the soldiers, this meeting reminded him of the time he took the examination in his hometown, he was a native of Fufeng County, Shaanxi, and when he arrived at Fengxiang Mansion for the examination, he also had a separate examination shed, and later in Fengyang Mansion as an official, whether it was Mengcheng County School or Yingzhou State School, it had its own special examination shed, and the scale was not small, and then looked at the Guiyang Mansion Examination It seemed narrow.

At this time, he happened to see Wang Xingping, who had just entered the examination room, and his thoughts were on this young man again.

Wang Xingping had a casual conversation with him before, and he had mentioned that he wanted to build a new tribute courtyard in Beicheng and set up another examination booth lecture hall. Speaking of this, he thought of all kinds of things here, not to mention the advertising posters that have been made in the past few days, not only the name of the Wangjia Iron Works, but he also knows the advance and retreat, and deliberately took away all kinds of notices in the official.

On the other side of the Jierong Institute, he heard that a medical bureau was going to be built, and for this reason, even Ni Zhumo, a famous doctor in Jiangnan, was invited, and the families of several combat wounded, disabled and fallen soldiers heard that they were also properly placed by him. Thinking of this, Master Sun will remember his tenure in Mengcheng County.

In the 29th year of Wanli, the Yellow River burst its embankment in the territory of Guide (now Shangqiu) in the upper reaches, and the big water took away the Ma River, Beifeishui and Vortex rivers from the northwest, and the three rivers flooded the county into an ocean. At that time, he had just taken up the post of magistrate, and he was in a hurry, but at the same time he did one thing to relieve the famine, that is, after the disaster, he cleaned up the flooded ownerless wasteland outside the county seat Xiguan, and placed the orphans and widows affected by the county in public housing and took care of them.

After the epidemic, Mengcheng County was plagued, and he gathered doctors to open a pharmacy and boiled medicine in a cauldron and distributed it to patients to treat people's diseases. He also mobilized the medical officer Lang Zhong to open a pharmacy in the county town, and saw each department to show his strengths.

Speaking of which, these are also his local political achievements, and it is with these accumulations that he was later able to rise to the prefect of Yingzhou first and then move to the current prefect of Guiyang as a mere promoter, but since taking office, in addition to making some military achievements in Fuchen, he has not done much in governance.

But now that he thinks about it, he finds that what he originally wanted to do now seems to be helping him do, but strictly speaking, this son is just a white body, and he acts with great ambitions. As soon as the county test opened, Governor Sun paid attention to Wang Xingping, but it was a pity that he revealed his heart to himself and did not plan to study at the undergraduate level, but this attitude made him more important. And this Wang Xingping has a beginning and an end to his work, and he is quite responsible, not to mention anything else, his leg strength is not good at his age, whether it is Hansheng or Yisheng, there are many servants at home who follow and even carry people all the way to the examination room, but he has always only had a small servant by his side, and he never fakes important things, let alone does things that insult the reputation of scholars.

Although it is only regarded as a practice, Sun Dafu also has the heart to accept this protégé, anyway, whether it is a practice or a real exam, as long as he passes the government examination, he can be regarded as qualified to participate in the next science and technology examination. He made up his mind and secretly took the idea, as long as Wang Xingping's ink scroll was written well, he would take him.

Wang Xingping didn't know what Master Sun thought, he had just sat down at the moment, and he was busy sorting out his messy clothes and hair bundles, the tables and chairs in the examination room were not well-made, he had already learned the last county exam, and now he still felt like walking on thin ice. It's just that there is no pressure of exams, and it is quite relaxed. When he looked around, he saw that there was no familiar face, I am afraid that most of them were candidates from other places, so it was right to disrupt people in this way.

Several candidates from the left and near greeted Wang Xingping and exchanged their names and surnames, and some of them who had heard of him immediately cast respectful glances.

In less than half an hour, all the candidates were seated, the sound of the lock sounded, and the examination room finally quieted down.

Less than half a moment later, several scribes who had been rolling their names outside again turned around in the examination room with question cards as they did during the county examination.

One of the voices was the loudest, "Listen to it all, one of the topics this time is 'The Filial Piety is Good', and the other is 'Don't Do Evil in Things'." ”

Wang Xingping thought for a while, and the text came to mind, and the source of this first question was "The Mean" in "The Mean", "The husband is filial, the will of the successor, and the person who is good at telling the affairs of the person." The original meaning is that the so-called filial piety is actually to inherit the will of the ancestors and carry forward, which is also the original meaning of the word "no filial piety" in later generations of Confucianism, but it is not the meaning of whether the son inherits the incense.

As for the latter question, it is from the "University", "What is evil is from above, do not make it down, and what is evil is from below, do not use it; The evil is in the first place, not in the first order; What is evil is in the after, not in the past; What is evil to the right is not to be handed over to the left; What is evil on the left, not on the right; This is called the way of the order. It boils down to an extension of 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you'.

However, both questions are truncated questions, so the meaning is naturally different from the original text.

However, this is not difficult for Wang Xingping, such a cut-off question is not obscure, and the semantics are complete, not to mention that he has also discussed the previous question with Ma Shiying, and this question is considered to be a score.

Since it was still early to see the light of day, and he was confident, Wang Xingping had the idea to spread out the food and dishes in the exam basket on the exam table.

At this time, the question had just been issued, and the examination room was suddenly noisy again, some of them were old and dizzy, and some of them were not very bright, so they took this opportunity to start talking to each other.

Among them, there is naturally no shortage of people who fish in troubled waters, and there is a young Confucian student opposite Wang Xingping, who is now taking out the fly-headed cheat sheet hidden in the clothes in the sticker according to the title and rummaging through it, and even looking for a few that don't seem to be the right topic, just when Monet saw Wang Xingping set up a table to eat and drink.

The Confucian student was suddenly stunned, and he forgot the note in his hand, but it was hit by the visiting professor. The scholars and officials got all the stolen goods, and several military amateurs and soap subordinates rushed up and dragged the Confucian student outside the examination room for a good beating, and the screams made everyone in the examination room silent.

Only Wang Xingping shook his head and smiled bitterly there, "I eat lunch, and you get it, it's also fate......
