"Congratulations to Lu Zhizhou, I didn't expect that there would be such a heroic young man in Ruzhou Private School, and now he is recommended by the imperial court, I think he will be able to win it!"

Liu Zhiyuan, a former professor of Xihe Prefecture Studies, who would have thought that in the place where Jin Bing was beaten into a mess of porridge last year, among the people who participated in the provincial examination of the Ministry of Liberation, there were actually three people on the Zhonghuang List, and there was also a second and tenth place among the people, such results are rare in the history of the imperial examination on Lizhou West Road.

Not only the court officials are rare, the Zhao official family is even more amazed, after the palace test, they also specially summoned these people to question, and all the officials of Xihe Prefecture deserve this luck, these three people not only answered the questions raised by the officials, but also put forward some of their own ideas on the taxation, military affairs, and political affairs of the country, which won the praise of the officials.

The officials of Xihe Prefecture and the whole state have made meritorious contributions to the country, and they have been promoted to one level, and the Zhizhou and Tongju, who were originally stripped of their official clothes, were also released from the prison, and they were guilty of meritorious service, and the two cried with joy, hugged their heads and cried, and after crying, they went to the book to recommend the nobles of the two people, the professors of Xihe Prefecture and County Studies.

The professor of state studies, that is, from the idle official position of the eighth grade, usually manages the affairs of the school, except for the year when he is busy, the rest of the time is in the "poetic and picturesque", the state affairs affairs, can not be intervened at all, and is jokingly called "marginal people" by his colleagues in the officialdom.

After the dispatch of the court officials came quickly, the people seemed to be drunk.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the "Guozijian" that will be talked about by future generations, what does this place do? Anyone who has ever taken a history class will know it.

Here, in addition to saying that it is the highest official government of the ancient central government, it also has a specific function, which is to govern all schools in the country, including private schools.

In the summer, it was called "school", Shang and Zhou called "Zhen" and "order", and it was called "Guoxue" in the Qin Dynasty, and the national credit was divided into two categories, the Son of Heaven and the princes set it up as "Taixue and Primary School", and the place was "Xiangxue", and the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties later, to the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, the highest central government-run school was "Guozijian" or "Taixue".

The establishment of the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty made the study of the country prosperous, and the Confucian culture spread to the whole world with the strength of the country.

The state-run schools of the Song Dynasty basically followed the Tang system, not only Guozixue, Taixue, Sixue, Guangwenguan and many subjects such as arithmetic, law, calligraphy, medicine, etc., which cultivated a large number of talents for all walks of life in the country. And it will adjust from time to time according to changes.

In the second year of Yuanfeng, the promulgated "School Order" requires: Taixue House has 80 fasts, 30 people in one fast, a total of 2,400 people, there are internal and external divisions, take 100 people into the upper house, 300 people for the inner house, and the rest of the outer house.

The headache of the later generations of monthly exams, final exams are also carried out here, and the officials and professors will be divided into "fast and slow classes" according to their grades, so the ancients were also worried about the exams.

Being able to enter the highest university in a country means that you have the qualifications to "be an official", so everyone yearns for it, not only for students, but also for professors in various states and counties, and for Xuezheng and Xuelu, who are in charge of implementing school rules and school discipline.

Coincidentally, in the twelfth year of Shaoxing, the official family rebuilt Taixue in Lin'an Mansion, and recruited a large number of outstanding children of officials and civilians to study.

Although the grade has not changed, but the promotion of foreign officials to the court has risen by half a level, so he has gained the letter, and he wants to take office non-stop, when passing by Longzhou, the good old man Lu Zhizhou will naturally set up a banquet to entertain him, and after he is full of wine and food, he will take advantage of his spare time to let him measure the academic level of the students in his jurisdiction, and see if he can be transported out of the shit like him.

"Really? Professor Liu! I don't know who this student is? I can actually get your compliment! ”

Liu Zhiyuan stroked his beard, took out two exam papers from his sleeve with a smile, handed them to him, and said, "One is Xiao Wuzhou from Xue's Academy, and the other is the student I said." ”

"Oh, is it? Then I'll have to take a closer look at this article. ”

After that, Lu Zhizhou took the two volumes and opened them to see, the first one was Xiao Wuzhou's, he shook his head while reading, not only the handwriting was good, but the answer to this question was also correct, especially the question in the back, he applauded when he saw it.

"Professor Liu, at this level of students, I don't think it's a problem to overdo it!"

Liu Zhiyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and put it down: "I think so too, he told the story of the long-term peace and stability of my government affairs and people's livelihood on Lizhou West Road, among which I value the most is the vigorous development of commerce and trade that he wrote. ”

Lu Zhizhou followed his words, nodded one after another, and said, "Since you are so optimistic about him, why do you say that the other person is your choice?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan laughed, raised his hand and motioned to Lu Zhizhou to look at the test paper and said, "He did a good job, but I think this one is better than him!" Lu Zhizhou and look carefully! ”

"Good!"

Lu Zhizhou nodded, put down the one he had read, picked up the one he said again, looked down at the name first, saw that it was written in three words, and whispered softly in his mouth: "Hey, it turned out to be him!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan, who was next to him, heard him muttering, and asked curiously: "How can Zhizhou also know this person!" ”

"I know, how can I not know!" The good old man Lu Zhizhou smiled slightly: "This person has some reputation in my Longzhou!" Before locking the official hall, it was also me and other colleagues, who did not do good things for the court and the people, oh yes, do you see the briquette stove and black briquette in the corner of the house? I heard that he made it up! ”

"Hahaha! I didn't expect this stove to be made by him, I thought it was made by a craftsman, it seems that he not only has some business brains, but also has some insights into the study of this artifact! ”

The three-piece briquette set, after a year of vigorous promotion by the Lizhou West Road Business Alliance, not to mention elsewhere, only the states and counties in the jurisdiction of Lizhou West Road have been used, I heard that Lizhou East Road is also gradually advancing, Liu Zhiyuan is not bad for the owner of money, and the family will naturally use it.

"No! This little colleague has some ideas! Lu Zhizhou watched while chatting with him for a few words, not many words, only more than a thousand words, he had finished reading it in a moment, but he didn't speak after reading it, just thinking quietly, Liu Zhiyuan next to him didn't bother him, silently drank tea, drank most of the tea in one cup, and only listened to him take a breath and say:

"This son is also talented, only more than 1,000 words, it contains, military affairs, political affairs, civil affairs and business affairs, especially unique views on military affairs, I look at its test papers, although the first few questions of the scripture inspection office, there are many questions that have not been answered, but the answer to the next question is very exciting, and the two complements each other is more than the previous student's test paper."

"Yes!" Liu Zhiyuan replied: "The few questions he hasn't answered must have not been learned, but over time, after studying carefully, he will definitely be able to answer them!" At this time, if you add a question, you will definitely be able to win, so I said that he will definitely be able to pass the solution test in Longzhou next year, hey, no! ”

Lu Zhizhou had listened to what he said well, but suddenly heard him exclaim, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong! ”

"But I just heard from you that this son is participating in the lock hall test?"

Lu Zhizhou nodded and said, "Yes!" He took the lock hall test! Ah! I know, look at my foolish head, this son is participating in the locked hall exam, so naturally he will not occupy the quota of participating in the main science outside! Oh yo, look at my memory, Professor Liu smiled! ”

"It's okay!" Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said: "I just noticed this, since this son is going to try otherwise, then let it go!" ”

"Hmm!"

Lu Zhizhou nodded emphatically, called the servant who was waiting for him to renew the hot tea, and the two of them drank it, and then said: "I really didn't expect this private school to have this result, dare to ask the professor, how is the official school in my state?" ”

Cough!

Liu Zhiyuan coughed lightly, put down the tea bowl in his hand, raised his head and said: "This time I only took the Longzhou State School and Longzhou County School, among which the students in the State School are better than the County School, and the coursework is better, overall, this year, I think that the students in the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites recommended by Guizhou can have at least four or five people on the emperor list, as for the ranking......"

There are four or five people on the emperor list? Lu Zhizhou felt that it was the old professor in front of him who comforted himself again, looking at the results of the imperial examinations in the past two years, it was already a great joy to be able to win one person in the state, and there were four or five people? So Lu Zhizhou listened to him chattering in front of him, but he deserted in his heart.

The examination of the lock hall and the main examination, the imperial court's assessment of local states and counties are all required and recorded, and theoretically the results of the two belong to their own "political achievements".

There are requirements for the number of students who take the main course, but the locked hall test is tolerant, if you adjust the students who take the main course to the locked hall test......

"Ahem, ahem! Lu Zhizhou? Lu Zhizhou? Have you listened to me! ”

Da Da, Liu Zhiyuan knocked on the table and reminded him dissatisfiedly.

"Oops! Sin sin, sin and sin, just go distracted for a moment, teach forgiveness and forgiveness! ”

Forgiveness? As soon as he knows the state, his official rank is higher than his own, what can he say if he wanders for a while? So Liu Zhiyuan laughed and said: "It's okay, well, I don't know what I'm thinking about when I know the state, so obsessed?" ”

Lu Zhizhou was not a fool, but he refused to tell him what was in his heart, so he found a reason to prevaricate at will.

The two of them in the room were studying, outside the Gongyuan, the students who participated in the assessment this time were all crowded here, and on the two-meter-high notice wall, a big red good news was posted here, and the names of fifty people were densely written on it.

In this exam, only the top 50 were registered on the list, especially the top three, all of which were written with a gold pen.

At the front of the list, a student wearing a green cloth shirt and a square scarf smiled at his companion next to him and said, "Brother Xiao, I didn't expect your results to be in the top ten, which is gratifying!" It must not be difficult to get through the state this time! ”

He hugged his fists to congratulate, but the student surnamed Xiao was full of unhappiness, and pointed to the name in front of him and said: "The first few people are all gone, this person named Zhao Dagou is a vulgar person when he hears it, why is he in front of me?" ”
